      IT
APPEARING and the Court having found and determined that:

      Jurisdiction and
Notice

      A.           This
Court has jurisdiction over these Cases, the Plan, and the confirmation of same
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334.  Venue of these Cases in this
District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

       

      B.           The
Disclosure Statement Order has become a Final Order.

       

      C.           Due,
proper, and adequate notice of the date and time for voting on, and for filing
objections to, the Plan and of the date and time of the Confirmation Hearing was
given pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(b)(2) and the Disclosure Statement
Order.

       

      D.           Due,
proper, and adequate notice of the deadline for filing any objections to cure
amounts with respect to executory contracts to be assumed by the Debtors under
the Plan was provided by the sending to all appropriate parties of that certain
Notice Regarding (A) Executory Contracts to be Assumed, (B) Amounts Required to
Cure Any Defaults Thereunder, and (C) Related Procedures, dated November 5, 2009
(the “Cure Notice”).

       

      E.           The
Plan was properly and timely transmitted to Holders of Impaired Claims in
Classes 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B of the Plan that were entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and
this Court’s orders, including the Disclosure Statement Order, and votes on the
Plan were properly solicited and tabulated.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -2-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      F.           The
notices given pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order or otherwise by the
Debtors with respect to the Plan, the Plan Documents, and the Transactions (as
defined below) provided adequate disclosure within the meaning of Bankruptcy
Code § 1125.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, due,
proper, and adequate notice was given, pursuant to the Disclosure Statement
Order and through filing and service of the Cure Notice or otherwise, to each
non-Debtor party to any Executory Contract to be assumed by the Debtors under
the Plan (as set forth on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement or otherwise in
the Plan or the Disclosure Statement) of (i) the proposed default amount owed
(if any) under the applicable Executory Contract and (ii) the last date by which
such non-Debtor party may file an objection or other response with respect to
such proposed default amount.  All known creditors received a notice
of the Confirmation Hearing and, where appropriate, a Ballot expressly referring
to and describing the release provisions in Plan Section 9.6.

      Good-Faith
Solicitation

       

      G.           The
solicitation of votes on the Plan was conducted appropriately and in good faith
within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code §§ 1125 and 1126, all other provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, the Disclosure Statement,
and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations, and the Released Parties
are entitled to the protections afforded by Bankruptcy Code § 1125(e) and the
exculpation provisions set forth in Plan Section 9.9.

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -3-

      I.           For
the reasons set forth below, such objections are overruled or are otherwise
resolved in the manner set forth herein.

      Plan of
Reorganization

       

      J.           The
Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including
Bankruptcy Code §§ 1122 and 1123, and the Bankruptcy Rules, in accordance with
Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(1).

       

      K.           The
classification of Claims and Interests in Article II of the Plan satisfies the
requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1122.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -4-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      L.           Article
II of the Plan adequately designates classes of Claims and Interests, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(1), other than Administrative Claims,
DIP Facility Claims, and Tax Claims, which Claims are not required to be
designated into classes under Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(1).

       

      M.           Article
IV of the Plan specifies the unimpaired Classes, in accordance with Bankruptcy
Code § 1123(a)(2).

       

      N.           Article
V of the Plan specifies the treatment of each impaired Class of Claims or
Interests, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(3).

       

      O.           The
Plan provides the same economic treatment of each Claim or Interest in a
particular Class, except to the extent that Holders of particular Claims or
Interests have agreed to a less favorable treatment of such particular Claims or
Interests, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(4).

       

      P.           The
Plan provides adequate means for its implementation in accordance with
Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(5), including, among other things: the issuance of the
New Secured Notes, the Working Capital Loans Notes, the New Aurora Preferred
Stock, the New Aurora Common Stock, and the New Warrants; the vesting of the
property of the respective Estates of the Debtors in the applicable Reorganized
Debtors; and the execution and delivery of the Exit Credit
Facility.  The Plan and all of the transactions contemplated therein
and to be consummated thereunder and in the Plan Documents (collectively, the
“Transactions”) are supported by the sound exercise of the Debtors’ business
judgment and are in the best interests of their Estates and
Creditors.

       

      Q.           Plan
Section 6.4(a) provides for the amendment and restatement of the articles of
incorporation of Aurora and of the limited liability company agreement of HPPC
(copies of which were filed as part of the Plan Supplement) to ensure compliance
with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(6).

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -5-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      R.           Plan
Section 6.1 provides for the selection of officers and directors of the
Reorganized Debtors and successors thereto in a manner consistent with the
interests of Creditors and Interest Holders and with public policy, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(a)(7).

       

      S.           The
Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(2).

       

      T.           The
Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(3).

       

      U.           Except
to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, and pursuant to previous orders of
this Court, any payment made or to be made by the Debtors, or by any Person
issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, for services or for
costs and expenses in or in connection with these Cases or in connection with
the Plan and incident to these Cases to be paid by the Debtors, has been
approved by, or is subject to the approval of, this Court as reasonable, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(4).

       

      V.           At
or prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the identity and affiliations of the
individuals proposed to serve, after confirmation of the Plan, as a director or
officer of the Reorganized Debtors were disclosed to this Court, in satisfaction
of the Debtors’ obligations with respect thereto under Plan Section 6.1, and the
appointment to, such office of such individuals is consistent with the interests
of Creditors and Interest Holders and with public policy, in accordance with
Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(5)(A).

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -6-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      W.           The
Debtors have disclosed the identity of any insider that may be employed or
retained by the Reorganized Debtors, and the nature of any compensation for such
insider, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(5)(B).

       

      X.           There
are no rate changes provided for in the Plan, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code
§ 1129(a)(6).

       

      Y.           With
respect to each impaired Class of Claims and each Class of Interests under the
Plan, each Holder of a Claim or Interest in such Class (i) has accepted the Plan
or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or
Interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not
less than the amount that such Holder would so receive or retain if the Debtors
were liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(7).  No Creditor has made an
election pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1111(b)(2).

       

      Z.           With
respect to Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(8), each Class of Claims under the Plan,
other than those Classes of Claims and Interests that have been deemed to reject
the Plan, has voted to accept the Plan or the Claims in such Class are not
impaired under the Plan.  Classes 1, 2C, and 2D are not impaired under
the Plan, and are thus conclusively presumed to have voted to accept the
Plan.  Classes 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4, 5, and 6 are impaired under the
Plan.  Each of the four Classes entitled to vote with respect to the
Plan, Classes 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B (collectively, the “Voting Classes”), has voted
to accept the Plan.  Because Classes 4, 5, and 6 neither receive nor
retain any property under the Plan (other than as set forth in Plan Section 5.7
with respect to Class 5 Intercompany Claims), they are deemed to have rejected
the Plan under Bankruptcy Code § 1126(g), and the requirements of Bankruptcy
Code § 1129(a)(8) have not been met, thereby requiring application of Bankruptcy
Code § 1129(b).  As more fully set forth in the next paragraph of this
Order, the Plan satisfies Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b) with respect to all
applicable impaired Classes.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -7-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      AA.           The
Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to
Claims or Interests (as applicable) in Classes 4, 5, and 6, in that no Holders
of any Claim or Interest junior to the Claims or Interests (as applicable) of
such Classes of Claims or Interests will receive or retain any property under
the Plan on account of such junior Claim or Interest, in accordance with
Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b)(2)(B).

       

      BB.           Where
applicable, except to the extent that the Holder of a particular Claim has
agreed to less favorable treatment of such Claim, the Plan provides
that:

       

      i.           on
the later of (i) the Initial Distribution Date (which the Plan defines as “[a]
date not later than 30 days after the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as
is practicable) or such other date as the Bankruptcy Court may order”) and (ii)
the date that is 10 days after the Allowance Date, each Holder of a Claim of a
kind specified in Bankruptcy Code § 507(a)(2) or 507(a)(3) shall receive on
account of such Claim Cash equal to the Allowed amount of such Claim, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(9)(A);

       

      ii.           each
Holder of a Claim arising under Bankruptcy Code § 507(a)(1), 507(a)(4),
507(a)(5), 507(a)(6), or 507(a)(7), if any, shall receive on account of such
Claim a Cash payment of a value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the Allowed
amount of such Claim, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(9)(B);
and

       

      iii.           each
Holder of a Claim arising under Bankruptcy Code § 507(a)(8), if any, shall
receive on account of such Claim either (i) Cash equal to the amount of such
Allowed Claim on the later of (a) the Initial Distribution Date and (b) the date
that is 30 days after the Allowance Date, except to the extent such Holder has
agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Allowed Claim, or (ii) in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(9)(C), deferred Cash payments (a) of a
value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the amount of such Allowed Tax Claim,
(b) over a period not exceeding five years after the Petition Date, and (c) in a
manner not less favorable than the treatment of the most favored nonpriority
unsecured Claim provided for by the Plan, except to the extent such Holder has
agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Allowed Claim.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -8-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      CC.           At
least one Class of Claims or Interests that is impaired has accepted the Plan,
determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(10).  All four of the
impaired Classes that were eligible to vote with respect to the Plan (Classes
2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B) voted to accept the Plan.

       

      DD.           The
Plan is feasible.  Based on the assumptions set forth in the
Memorandum in Support of Confirmation of the Debtors’ Plan, the Edlein
Affidavit, and Exhibit B to the Disclosure Statement, confirmation of the Plan
is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further
financial reorganization, of the Debtors or any successors thereof, in
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(11).  There is a reasonable
prospect that the Debtors will meet their financial obligations under the
Plan.  Edlein Affidavit, ¶ 6; Perry Affidavit, ¶ 10.

       

      EE.           All
fees payable under 28 U.S.C. § 1930 have been paid or will be paid pursuant to
the Plan, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(12).

       

      FF.           The
Debtors do not maintain any retiree benefits as that term is defined in
Bankruptcy Code § 1114, making Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(13)
inapplicable.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -9-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      GG.           The
Debtors are not individuals, making Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(14)–(15) inapplicable in these
Cases.

       

      HH.           Because
the Debtors are commercial corporations, Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a)(16) is
inapplicable.

       

      II.           The
Debtors’ respective decisions regarding the rejection or assumption of the
Executory Contracts as provided in and contemplated by the Plan and herein are
based on and are within the sound business judgment of the Debtors and are in
the best interests of the Debtors and their respective Estates.

       

      JJ.           The
conditions to confirmation set forth in Plan Section 8.1 have been satisfied in
that (a) this Court has entered the Disclosure Statement Order that approves the
Disclosure Statement as containing adequate information pursuant to Bankruptcy
Code § 1125, and such order has not been reversed, stayed, amended, or modified
in any manner adverse to the Debtors or their Estates, and (b) this Order is
acceptable, in form and substance, to the Debtors and to the Administrative
Agents.

       

      KK.           The
discharge, release, indemnification, exculpation, and related provisions set
forth in the Plan, including Sections 9.6, 9.7, and 9.9 thereof, and herein are
fair to the Debtors’ Creditors, Interest Holders, and other parties-in-interest,
and are necessary to the successful reorganization of the Debtors; in addition,
no party-in-interest filed an objection to any such provision.  The
release by the Debtors on their own behalf and on behalf of certain third
parties pursuant to this Order and Plan Section 9.7 are appropriate and worthy
of approval.  There is an identity of interest between the Debtors and
certain of the Released Parties; the Released Parties have made a substantial
contribution to the Debtors’ reorganization; certain of the Released Parties
have provided consideration for the releases in the form of waived or modified
Claims or by making cash payments to the Estates, among other things; the
releases are necessary to the effectuation of the compromises and settlements
embodied in the Plan and to the success of the Debtors’ rehabilitation under the
Plan; the Plan has been accepted by all four of the Voting Classes (2A, 2B, 3A,
and 3B); and the compromises and settlements contained in the Plan upon which
certain of the releases are premised will allow for distributions to certain
Creditors that would not otherwise be available to such Creditors under the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -10-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      LL.           In
addition, because the Lawson & Kidd Payment was timely made to the Debtors,
such payment is in full settlement of any and all claims or causes of action
that the Debtors, the Estates, or any Non-Debtor Releasing Parties may have
against Lawson & Kidd, LLP, or its principals or any other related
Person.

       

      MM.                      The
Debtors investigated potential claims against their officers, directors, and
other insiders, and determined that they are generally not meritorious in the
context of these cases or otherwise not economically feasible to
pursue.  Rather, the global resolution provided for in the Plan,
whereby the general unsecured creditors of Aurora would receive their pro rata
share of $350,000 and those of HPPC would receive their pro rata share of
$50,000, and the Claims against such third parties would be released to the
extent provided for in the Plan, is in the best interest of the Debtors, their
Estates, and their Creditors.

       

      NN.           Certain
officers have agreed to waive their claims under the “change-in-control”
provisions of their contracts in exchange for a lower payment under the
applicable management transition services agreements to be entered into on the
Effective Date.  Moreover, the Debtors’ officers and directors have
not asserted any Proofs of Claim for indemnification.  In addition,
the Lawson & Kidd Payment was made on or about November 25,
2009.  Each of these payments and/or other agreements or waivers
represent a fair and reasonable compromise of any potential claims that could be
asserted against such parties, and therefore justify, in addition to the work
these parties have performed to bring about the reorganization contemplated in
the Plan, and support the releases and related provisions provided for in the
Plan with respect thereto.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -11-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      OO.           The
principal purpose of the Plan is not the avoidance of taxes or of the
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, and no governmental
unit has requested that this Court deny confirmation on such basis, thus
satisfying the requirements of Bankruptcy Code § 1129(d).  Also, the
Debtors will satisfy all Allowed Tax Claims in the manner provided for in Plan
Section 3.3.

      Frontier
Pleadings

       

      PP.           On
October 22, 2009, Frontier Energy, LLC (“Frontier”) filed a motion (the
“Frontier Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court seeking, among other things, entry
of an order declaring that the two oil and gas leases between Frontier and
Aurora (the “Frontier Leases”) are unexpired leases of non-residential property
subject to, and governed, by Bankruptcy Code § 365.  (Docket No.
387).  In the Frontier Motion, Frontier asserts, among other things,
that Aurora was delinquent on the Petition Date in the payment of royalties
under the Frontier Leases in the amount of $1,446,772.42 (the “Frontier Asserted
Pre-Petition Claim”).  The Frontier Motion further alleges that Aurora
is delinquent in the payment of royalties due after the filing date, which
Frontier currently alleges is in the approximate amount of $30,674 (the
“Frontier Asserted Post-Petition Claim”).  Frontier asserts that the
Frontier Asserted Pre-Petition Claim and the Frontier Asserted Post-Petition
Claim are monetary defaults which must be cured under Bankruptcy Code § 365 if
the Frontier Leases are to be assumed.  Frontier further asserts that
the Frontier Asserted Post-Petition Claim constitutes an administrative expense
that must be paid in full if the Plan is confirmed whether or not the Frontier
Leases are assumed.  On November 24, 2009, the Debtors filed a Brief
in Opposition to the Frontier Motion (the “Frontier Opposition”) (Docket No.
508), in which they assert, among other things, that the Frontier Asserted
Pre-Petition Claim is a pre-petition unsecured claim and that the Frontier
Leases are not leases or executory contracts under Bankruptcy Code §
365.  The Frontier Opposition also disputes the amount of the Frontier
Asserted Pre-Petition Claim and the Frontier Asserted Post-Petition
Claim.  On December 1, 2009, Frontier filed a Response to the Frontier
Opposition.  (Docket No. 514).

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -12-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      QQ.           On
November 17, 2009, the Debtors filed a Motion for Estimation of Claims of
Frontier Energy LLC Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 502(c) (the “Estimation Motion”)
(Docket No. 482) seeking, among other things, to have the Bankruptcy Court
determine for all purposes the amount and priority of the Frontier Asserted
Pre-Petition Claim and the Frontier Asserted Post-Petition Claim (collectively,
the “Frontier Lease Indebtedness”).  On November 29, 2009, Frontier
filed an Objection to the Estimation Motion (the “Estimation Objection”) (Docket
No. 511), and on December 2, 2009, the Debtors filed a Reply Brief to the
Estimation Objection. (Docket No. 517).

       

      RR.           The
Frontier Motion and the Estimation Motion were scheduled for hearing before this
Court on December 3, 2009; however, on December 2, 2009, Frontier and the
Debtors agreed to adjourn the hearings until a date after the Confirmation
Hearing to permit Frontier and Aurora to continue settlement negotiations and,
if such negotiations are unsuccessful, to have the Court determine the issues
raised in the Frontier Motion and the Estimation Motion.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -13-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      SS.           Frontier
has also filed a Proof of Claim against HPPC (Claim No. 375) asserting that the
Frontier Asserted Pre-Petition Claim is an unsecured claim against HPPC, and an
amended Proof of Claim against Aurora (Claim No. 436), which amended Claim No.
376, asserting that the Frontier Asserted Pre-Petition Claim is secured by
various assets of Aurora.  On November 10, 2009, the Debtors filed an
omnibus objection to each of the Proofs of Claim filed by Frontier against the
Debtors (the “Frontier Omnibus Objection”) (Docket No. 432).  On
December 3, 2009, Frontier filed its Response to the Frontier Omnibus Objection
(Docket No. 523), in which it, among other things, withdrew Claim No.
375.  A hearing with respect to the Frontier Omnibus Objection has
been scheduled for January 5, 2009, but shall be rescheduled to the date of the
hearings on the Frontier Motion and the Estimation Motion.

       

      THEREFORE,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that:

       

      General Provisions Regarding
Plan Approval and Authorizations

       

      1.           The
findings of this Court as set forth herein shall constitute findings of fact and
conclusions of law pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, which is applicable to this
matter by virtue of Bankruptcy Rule 9014.

       

      2.           The
Plan, all exhibits thereto, and all provisions, terms, and conditions thereof,
are hereby confirmed in all respects, and all provisions thereof are
incorporated herein by reference.

       

      3.           To
the extent not withdrawn prior to the entry of this Order, all objections to the
confirmation of the Plan that were filed have been resolved, are resolved by the
relief granted herein, or are hereby overruled and denied with prejudice; provided, however, that the
objections to Plan confirmation filed by the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources and Frontier shall be deemed resolved in the manner as provided for in
Paragraphs 22-25 herein.  Objections that have been withdrawn or not
pursued at the Confirmation Hearing, if any, are hereby deemed withdrawn with
prejudice.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -14-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      4.           On
and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are hereby authorized and
empowered to perform those responsibilities, duties, and obligations set forth
herein and in the Plan, including, without limitation, making distributions as
provided under the Plan, objecting to the allowance of any Claim or Interest,
and prosecuting any litigation pertaining thereto, paying such Claims or
Interests as may be later Allowed, as contemplated by the dispute resolution
procedures contained in Plan Section 6.10, and overseeing and governing the
continuing affairs and operations of the Reorganized Debtors on a going-forward
basis.

       

      5.           All
notices previously provided by the Debtors in connection with, or otherwise
relating to, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Executory Contracts to be
assumed (and any proposed cure amount with respect thereto) or rejected, or any
other Plan Document, including, without limitation, the Cure Notice, are hereby
approved in all respects.

       

      6.           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, the cure
amount for all of the Debtors’ contracts with Samson Resources and Samson 2003,
LLC (collectively “Samson”) shall be $40,488.53 through August 31,
2009.   On that basis, Samson has withdrawn its Cure Objection,
conditioned upon entry of an Order approving the Agreed Motion for Relief from
Automatic Stay to Allow Offset and Recoupment and Notice of Intent to Assume
Joint Operating Agreement, which addresses resolution of cure amounts between
the parties after August 31, 2009, among other things.

       

      7.           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, the cure
amount for all of the Debtors’ contracts being assumed with Presidium MidWest
LLC shall be $31,977.45, which cure amount shall be paid pursuant to the
terms of the Disclosure Statement and Plan.  For the sake of clarity,
the sole agreements by and between Presidium MidWest LLC and either of the
Debtors that will be rejected pursuant to Article VII of the Plan and this Order
are (1) that certain Fritz 1-30 Development Agreement, dated August 23, 2006,
and (2) that certain Development Agreement (Green, Clay & Owen
Counties, IN), dated August 10, 2006.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -15-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      8.           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, the cure
amount for the Debtors' contracts with Atlas Oil and Gas Corporation ("Atlas")
being assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be $30,325.38, subject to Aurora's
hereby agreeing to waive any retroactive SWD charges for the audit period up to
and including 2009 that may be due from Atlas to Aurora under the terms of the
Shared SWD Use Agreement, dated September 1, 2005, relating to the Hudson 13
Unit, and Atlas's hereby agreeing to waive its audit rights for the years 2008
and 2009 provided for pursuant to Exhibit "C" of the Model Form Operating
Agreement, dated August 16, 2005, between Aurora and Atlas relating to the
Hudson 13 Unit, as amended by the Amendment to Model Form Operating Agreement
Dated August 16, 2005 between Aurora and Atlas relating to the Hudson 13
Unit.  On that basis, Atlas has agreed to withdraw its Cure
Objection.

       

      9.           The Plan
Documents.  The forms of the Plan Documents are hereby
approved, and the execution and delivery by the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors party thereto (as applicable) of all Plan Documents is hereby authorized
without the need for any further corporate action or court order.  All
such Plan Documents shall become effective and binding upon the parties thereto
simultaneously in accordance with their respective terms and conditions as of
the Effective Date.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -16-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      10.           Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1142,
and without further action by the Bankruptcy Court or by the shareholders or
directors of the Reorganized Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, acting by and
through any one or more of their officers, shall be, and hereby are, authorized
to (i) enter into the Exit Credit Facility and other related loan documents
and instruments, (ii) perform and comply with all of the terms, conditions, and
obligations under the Exit Credit Facility, (iii) execute and deliver all
documents, agreements, and instruments necessary or appropriate as the
applicable lenders may determine to enter into and perform all obligations under
the Exit Credit Facility, and to take all other actions and execute, deliver,
record, and file all other such agreements, documents, instruments, mortgages,
deeds of trust, financing statements, releases, applications, registration
statements, reports and any changes, additions, and modifications thereto in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exit
Credit Facility and the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the
making of such filings or the recording of any security interests, as may be
required by the final terms of the Exit Credit Facility, and (iv) grant to the
applicable lenders, valid, binding, enforceable, and perfected security
interests and Liens upon all of the collateral specified in the final terms of
the Exit Credit Facility.

       

      11.           Corporate
Action.  On, before, or after the Effective Date, the
Reorganized Debtors may retain such management, law firms, accounting firms,
experts, advisors, agents, consultants, investigators, appraisers, auctioneers,
or other professionals as they may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate,
including, without limitation, a transfer or disbursing agent, to aid them in
the performance of their responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the
Plan.  It shall not be a requirement that any such parties retained by
either of the Reorganized Debtors be a “disinterested person” (as such term is
defined in Bankruptcy Code § 101(14)), and such retained parties may
include Professionals or other Persons who had previously been active in these
Cases on behalf of any Debtor, Creditor, Interest Holder, the Creditors
Committee, or other constituency herein.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, following the issuance of the New Warrants (if
applicable), the Reorganized Debtors may arrange for a third party to serve as
the New Warrant agent.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -17-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      12.           All
matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure, assets,
and/or operations of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate
action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the
Plan or the Plan Documents shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in
effect, without any requirement of further action by the respective security
holders, members, officers, or directors of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors.  After the Confirmation Date and on, prior to, or after the
Effective Date, the appropriate members of the Boards of Directors and/or
members or officers of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors are authorized
and directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents,
securities, certificates, and instruments contemplated by the Plan and/or the
Plan Documents in the name of and on behalf of the applicable Debtors or
Reorganized Debtors.

       

      13.           Implementation of the Plan,
the Plan Documents, and the Transactions.  The Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, the First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Loan Lenders,
the DIP Facility Lenders, the Creditors Committee, NW Bank, the Exit Credit
Facility Lenders, and all other parties-in-interest are hereby authorized to
take all steps, and execute all documents, including appropriate releases and
certificates, reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions
contained in the Plan and the Plan Documents.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -18-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      14.           Bankruptcy Code § 1145 and
Other Exemptions.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1145(a)(1),
the issuance of any securities under the Plan, including, without limitation,
the New Aurora Preferred Stock, the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, and the New
Secured Notes, to the extent any of the foregoing constitute “securities” under
applicable law, shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any state or local laws requiring registration for the offer
or sale of securities.  All such securities, when issued or sold,
shall be freely transferable by the recipients thereof, subject
to:  (i) the provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 1145(b) relating to
“underwriters,” as defined therein; (ii) any restrictions contained in the terms
of the securities themselves; or (iii) any restrictions on the securities that
have been agreed to by the Holder of the securities with respect
thereto.  Any securities to be issued under the Plan shall be issued
without further act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or
rule.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D of the Securities Act, Rule 701
promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise, the issuance of any shares
of the New Aurora Common Stock or other equity securities of Reorganized Aurora
in connection with the exercise of the New Warrants (if any) or pursuant to the
Management and Director Equity Plan shall be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and any state or local laws requiring
registration for the sale of securities.

       

      15.           Bankruptcy Code § 1146(a)
Exemption. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1146(a), the issuance,
transfer, or exchange of any security under the Plan; the making or delivery of
any instrument of transfer pursuant to, in implementation of, or as contemplated
by the Plan; and the revesting, transfer, assignment, or sale of any real or
personal property of either of the Debtors pursuant to, in implementation of, or
as contemplated by the Plan shall not be taxed under any state or local law
imposing a stamp tax, transfer tax, or any similar tax or fee.

      Executory Contracts and
Leases

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -19-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      16.           Assumption or Rejection of
Executory Contracts.  As of the Confirmation Date, but subject
to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts (including,
without limitation, those Executory Contracts identified as “to be assumed” on
the list attached as Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, as such list may be
revised) are hereby deemed assumed by the applicable Debtor and retained by the
applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the provisions and requirements
of Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123, except those Executory Contracts that (i)
have previously been rejected by an order of this Court, (ii) are the subject of
a motion to reject pending on the Confirmation Date, (iii) are identified as “to
be rejected” on the list attached as Exhibit E to the Disclosure Statement (as
such list may have been revised and included in the Plan Supplement or
otherwise), or (iv) are otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
Rejection of the Executory Contracts at issue in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the
preceding sentence shall be effective as of the Confirmation Date, subject to
the occurrence of the Effective Date.  Entry of this Order shall
constitute approval of such assumptions and rejections (as applicable) pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365(a) and 1123, subject to the occurrence of the
Effective Date.  Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to Article
VII of the Plan and hereunder shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the
respective Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as may be
modified by (i) the provisions of the Plan, (ii) any order of this Court
approving and authorizing its assumption, or (iii) applicable federal
law.  The Debtors shall retain the right at all times prior to the
Effective Date to (a) assume any additional or other Executory Contract(s) not
specifically identified on the list thereof attached as Exhibit D to the
Disclosure Statement (or as such list may have been revised and included in the
Plan Supplement or otherwise) as “to be assumed” (including, without limitation,
any Executory Contrary identified on Exhibit E to the Disclosure Statement as
“to be rejected”), or (b) reject any additional or other Executory Contract(s)
not specifically identified on the list thereof attached as Exhibit E to the
Disclosure Statement as “to be rejected” (including, without limitation, any
Executory Contrary identified on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement as “to be
assumed”), in each case upon providing notice to the non-Debtor party
thereto.

      

      17.           Rejection Damage
Claims.  Each Person who is a party to an Executory Contract
rejected under and pursuant to Article VII of the Plan and hereunder shall be
entitled to file, not later than 30 days after the entry of this Order (the
“Plan Rejection Bar Date”), a Proof of Claim against the applicable Debtor for
alleged Rejection Claims, or with respect to any Executory Contract (if any)
that is specifically rejected upon a separate motion or other pleading by the
Debtors following the date of this Order but prior to the Effective Date, not
later than 30 days after the entry of the order approving such
rejection.  If no such Proof of Claim for a Rejection Claim is timely
filed against the applicable Debtor, any such Claim shall be forever barred and
shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their
respective Estates or Assets.  Objections to any such Proof of Claim
shall be filed not later than 90 days after such Proof of Claim is filed
(subject to any potential further extensions of such date as so ordered and
approved by this Court), and this Court shall decide any such
objections.  Distributions (if any) in respect of such Claims (consistent with the
distributions to be received by Holders of other Claims in the Class into which
such Claims fall, as determined by Plan Section 7.5) shall be made
not earlier than the later of (a) 30 days after the expiration of the 90-day
period (as such period may be extended by order of this Court) for filing an
objection in respect of any Proof of Claim filed pursuant to Plan Section 7.4 and (b) 30
days after the Claim has been Allowed by a Final Order of this Court, provided
that no such distribution shall be made before the Effective Date.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -20-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      18.           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the Plan, the Plan Rejection Bar Date
shall apply only to Rejection Claims with respect to those Executory Contracts
that are rejected under and pursuant to the Plan.  Any Holder of a
Rejection Claim for an Executory Contract that is not rejected pursuant to the
Plan, but whose Rejection Claim instead arises under an Executory Contract that
either has already been rejected by an order of this Court or is the subject of
a separate motion to reject pending on the Confirmation Date, must file a Proof
of Claim for such Rejection Claim by the date provided in any order relating to
such Rejection Claim.

       

      19.           Insurance
Policies.  All insurance policies of the Debtors (including,
without limitation, the Directors & Officers Liability Insurance Policies)
providing coverage to the Debtors and/or the Debtors’ current or former
directors, officers, stockholders, agents, employees, representatives,
predecessors, and others for conduct in connection in any way with the Debtors,
their assets, liabilities, and/or operations, to the extent such policies are
Executory Contracts, are hereby deemed assumed by and for the benefit of the
applicable Debtors and as of the Confirmation Date.  Entry of this
Order constitutes approval of such assumptions pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§
365 and 1123 or otherwise.

       

      20.           Notwithstanding
anything provided herein or in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall not be
deemed in any way to diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance
policies that may cover claims against either of the Debtors and/or the Debtors’
current or former directors, officers, stockholders, agents, employees,
representatives, predecessors or any other Person (including, without
limitation, the Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Policies).  Any failure by the Debtors to list any particular
insurance policy on any schedule of Executory Contracts to be assumed under the
Plan the Debtors file in these Cases (either contained in the Disclosure
Statement, including, without limitation, Exhibit D thereto, the Plan
Supplement, or otherwise) shall not in any way impair the Debtors’ ability to
assume such policy, and instead, any and all such policies shall still be
assumed in accordance with Plan Section 7.7 and this Order.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -21-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      21.           The
Debtors’ “oil and gas leases” (that is, below surface mineral estates, none of
which are set forth on Exhibits D or E to the Disclosure Statement) shall not
constitute nor be considered executory contracts or unexpired leases under
Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 or 1123 for any purpose under the Plan or otherwise in
connection with these Cases.  Any Claims asserted under such oil and
gas leases that arose as of the Petition Date shall constitute Class 3A Claims,
and any such Claims that arose after the Petition Date shall constitute
Administrative Claims, and in each instance shall be subject to all rights,
defenses, and potential disputes and objections of the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors with respect thereto.

       

      22.           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Plan Section 7.9 shall not be
deemed to apply to the Debtors’ oil and gas leases with the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources unless and until the issue of whether Bankruptcy Code § 365
applies to such leases is resolved by such parties or pursuant to an Order of
this Court in favor of the Debtors.  In addition, the application of
Plan Section 7.9 to the Frontier Leases shall be determined in the manner
provided for herein in Paragraphs 23-25.

       

      23.           The
Frontier Motion, the Estimation Motion, and the Frontier Omnibus Objection shall
proceed on an expedited schedule and procedure to be agreed upon by Aurora and
Frontier or, in the event such parties are unable to agree, in accordance
with  a schedule and procedures established by the
Court.  All issues, claims, and defenses asserted by Frontier and the
Debtors in the Frontier Motion, the Estimation Motion and the Frontier Omnibus
Objection, and in any responses thereto, are preserved and are not affected in
any way by the provisions of the Plan or this Order.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -22-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      24.           In
the event that the Court determines that (i) the Frontier Leases are unexpired
leases of non-residential real property or executory contracts subject to the
cure provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 365(b)(1)(A), and (ii) any portion of the
Frontier Lease Indebtedness constitutes a cure amount under Bankruptcy Code §
365, then such cure amount shall be paid by Aurora or Reorganized Aurora (as
applicable) within ten (10) business days of the entry of the applicable Final
Order by the Court as a condition to the assumption of the Frontier Leases by
Aurora or Reorganized Aurora (as applicable) under Bankruptcy Code §
365.  In the event Aurora or Reorganized Aurora (as applicable) fails
to pay the Court-determined cure claim to Frontier within such ten (10) business
day period, the Frontier Leases shall be deemed to be rejected.  Upon
any such rejection, Frontier shall have (i) an Allowed General Unsecured Claim
against Aurora in the amount of the Frontier Lease Indebtedness that is
determined by the Court to have accrued prior to the Petition Date, and such
amount shall be treated as an Allowed Class 3A Claim and be satisfied in
accordance with Section 5.4 of the Plan; and (ii) an Allowed Administrative
Claim for the portion of the Frontier Lease Indebtedness that is determined by
the Court to have accrued subsequent to the Petition Date, which shall be
satisfied in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan.

      

      25.           If
the Court determines that the Frontier Leases are not subject to Bankruptcy Code
§ 365, Frontier and Aurora shall endeavor to resolve the Allowed amount,
validity, and/or secured status of Claim No. 436 or any administrative claim
that Frontier may file in the future.  In the event Frontier and
Aurora are unable to do so consensually, the Court will determine the Allowed
amount, status, and validity of Claim No. 436 and/or any such administrative
claim.  Any such amount determined by the Court to be due to Frontier
as an Allowed Secured Claim with respect to Claim No. 436, which may be up but
not to exceed Frontier’s interest, if any, in the value of the property that
Frontier asserts secures such claim, shall be paid by Aurora or Reorganized
Aurora (as applicable) within ten (10) business days of the entry of a Final
Order by the Court with respect thereto.  Any such amount determined
by the Court to be due to Frontier as an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall
be treated as an Allowed Class 3A Claim and shall be satisfied in accordance
with Section 5.4 of the Plan.  Any such amount determined by the Court
to be due to Frontier as an Allowed Administrative Claim shall be treated and
satisfied in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Plan.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -23-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      
         

        26.           Executory
Contracts entered into after the Petition Date by either Debtor (including the
Management Transition Services Agreements) may be performed by the Debtor or the
Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in accordance with the terms and subject to
the conditions of such Executory Contract(s) in the ordinary course of
business.  Accordingly, such Executory Contracts shall survive and
remain unaffected by entry of this Order.

        Discharge, Release,
Injunction, and Exculpation Provisions

      

      

      27.           Property Retained Free and
Clear of Liens Except as Contemplated by the Plan or this
Order.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Order,
upon the Effective Date, but retroactive to the Confirmation Date, (a) the
Reorganized Debtors shall continue to exist as separate legal entities with all
the powers of corporations and/or limited liability companies (as applicable)
under applicable law and without prejudice to any right to alter or terminate
such existence (whether by merger or otherwise) under applicable state law, and
(b) all Assets of the respective Debtors (including, but not limited to,
Aurora’s equity interests in HPPC and the Debtors’ respective interests in any
non-Debtor subsidiary or Affiliate (to the extent that any such non-Debtor
subsidiary or Affiliate has not been dissolved, sold, or otherwise transferred
under applicable law prior to the Effective Date), but not including the NW Bank
Note Collateral or the NW Bank Deposit Account Advance Collateral, both of which
shall be transferred to the Holder of the Allowed Class 2D Claim, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan, including Plan Section 4.4(b)), wherever
situated, shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor, subject to the
provisions of the Plan and this Order.  Thereafter, each Reorganized
Debtor may operate its business, incur debt and other obligations in the
ordinary course of its business, and otherwise use, acquire, and dispose of
property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules,
the Local Bankruptcy Rules, and this Court.  After the Effective Date,
but retroactive to the Confirmation Date, all property retained by the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in the applicable
Reorganized Debtors free and clear of all Claims, debts, Liens, security
interests, obligations, encumbrances, and interests of Creditors and Interest
Holders of the Debtors and all other Persons, except for (i) as is contemplated
by or provided in the Plan or this Order; (ii) the obligation to perform
according to the Plan and this Order; and (iii) the respective Claims, debts,
Liens, security interests, encumbrances, and interests (a) arising in connection
with the Exit Credit Facility (including, without limitation, the New Secured
Notes and the Working Capital Loans Notes) and the Exit Credit Facility
Guarantee, or (b) of those Holders of (1) Allowed Class 2C Claims whose Secured
Claims the applicable Debtor elects to Reinstate pursuant to Plan Section 4.3
(as opposed to the applicable Debtor’s electing to (A) pay the amount of such
Allowed Class 2C Claim in full, (B) return the underlying collateral to such
Class 2C Creditor, or (C) otherwise satisfy such Allowed Claim in a manner
provided for under Section 4.3 of the Plan), or (2) the NW Bank LCs Collateral
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4(c) of the
Plan).

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -24-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      28.           Discharge and
Injunction.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1141 or otherwise,
except as may otherwise be provided for in the Plan or in this Order, upon the
occurrence of the Effective Date, the rights afforded and the payments and
distributions to be made under the Plan shall be in complete exchange for, and
in full and unconditional settlement, satisfaction, discharge, and release of,
any and all existing debts, Claims, and Interests of any kind, nature, or
description whatsoever against the Debtors or any of the Debtors’ Assets or
other property, and shall effect a full and complete release, discharge, and
termination of all Liens, security interests, or other Claims, interests, or
encumbrances upon all of the Debtors’ Assets and property.  For purposes of clarification, except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or in this Order, the Debtors shall be discharged from all
Claims and Causes of Action to the fullest extent permitted by Bankruptcy Code §
1141, and all holders of Claims or Interests shall be precluded from asserting
against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, the Assets, or any
property dealt with under the Plan, any further or other Cause of Action based
upon any act, omission, transaction, event, thing, or other activity of any kind
or nature that occurred or came into existence prior to the Effective
Date.  No Creditor or Interest Holder of the Debtors nor any
other Person may receive any distribution from the Debtors, the Estates, the
Reorganized Debtors, or the Assets, or seek recourse against, the Debtors, the
Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of the Assets that are to be
distributed under the terms of the Plan, except for those distributions
expressly provided for under the Plan.  All Persons are precluded from
asserting, against any property that is to be distributed under the terms of the
Plan, any Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities,
or equity interests based upon any act, omission, transaction, or other activity
of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date, other than
as expressly provided for in the Plan or this Order, whether or not (a) a Proof
of Claim or Proof of Interest based upon such debt or Interest (as applicable)
is filed or deemed filed under Bankruptcy Code § 501; (b) a Claim or Interest
based upon such debt or Interest (as applicable) is allowed under Bankruptcy
Code § 502; or (c) the Holder of a Claim or Interest based upon such debt or
Interest (as applicable) has accepted the Plan, is
deemed to have accepted the Plan under Bankruptcy Code § 1126(f), or is deemed
to have rejected the Plan under Bankruptcy Code § 1126(g).  Except as
otherwise provided in the Plan or this Order with respect to a Claim that is
expressly Reinstated under the terms and conditions of the Plan, all Holders of
Claims and Interests arising prior to the Effective Date shall be permanently
barred and enjoined from asserting against the Debtors, the Estates, the
Reorganized Debtors, their successors, or the Assets, any of the following
actions on account of such Claim or Interest: (a) commencing or continuing in
any manner any action or other proceeding on account of such Claim or Interest
against property to be distributed under the terms of the Plan, other than to
enforce any right to distribution with respect to such property under the Plan;
(b) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment,
award, decree, or order against any of the property to be distributed under the
terms of the Plan, other than as permitted under subclause (a) above; (c)
creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance against any property
to be distributed under the terms of the Plan; (d) asserting any right of
setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind, directly or indirectly, against
any obligation due the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Assets or any
other property of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or any direct or
indirect transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the
foregoing Persons; and (e) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place
whatsoever, that does not conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the
Plan.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -25-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      29.           No Waiver of
Discharge.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in the
Plan, nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to waive, limit, or restrict in any
way the discharge granted to the Debtors upon Confirmation of the Plan by
Bankruptcy Code § 1141.

       

      30.           Post-Consummation Effect of
Evidences of Claims or Interests.  Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in
the Plan (including, without
limitation, Plan Sections 4.5, 5.2, and 6.2), any and all notes,
stock certificates, and/or other evidences of Claims against, or Interests in,
either of the Debtors shall, effective upon the Effective Date, represent
only the right to participate in the distributions contemplated by the Plan, if
any, and shall otherwise be cancelled and of no force and effect as of the

Preferred Stock, the Exit Credit Facility (including the New Secured Notes and
the Working Capital Loans Notes), the New Warrants (if any), and other

(ii) certain of the Released Parties’ agreeing to have their claims under their
change-of-control agreements treated in the manner set forth in the Management
Transition Services Agreements and/or making the Lawson & Kidd Payment (as
applicable), conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever
releases and discharges the Released Parties from any and all claims,

other duty; any alleged violation of any federal or state securities law or any
other law relating to creditors’ rights generally; any of the Released Parties’
or the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties’ ownership of any securities of either of
the Debtors; or any derivative claims asserted on behalf of a Debtor), whether
liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or subsequently arising, in law,
equity, or otherwise, that such Non-Debtor Releasing Party ever had, now has, or
may have that are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction,
or occurrence from the beginning of time through and including the Effective
Date in any way relating to the Debtors, these Cases and the commencement
thereof, or the Plan; the Disclosure Statement; the Plan Documents; the

Releasing Party, any security previously issued by either of the Debtors, and
any and all claims based upon or arising out of such actions or omissions are
hereby forever and completely waived and released by the Non-Debtor Releasing
Parties; provided, however, Section
9.6(a) of the Plan shall not release, and the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties do
not waive the right to enforce, the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ duties,
obligations, covenants, and agreements under (a) the Plan, (b) any settlement
agreement approved by this Court in these Cases, (c) the Assumed Contracts, or

of Claims and termination of Interests provided in the Plan and under the
Bankruptcy Code; and provided further, however, that nothing
in Section 9.6(a) of the Plan shall be deemed to assert or imply any admission
of liability on the part of any of the Released Parties.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lawson & Kidd Payment is
deemed made in full settlement of any and all claims or causes of action that
the Debtors, the Estates, or any Non-Debtor Releasing Parties may have against
Lawson & Kidd, LLP or its principals or any other related Person, such that
the releases provided for in Article IX of the Plan shall  apply to
Lawson & Kidd, LLP, and  its principals and any related
Person.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -26-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      32.           All
Non-Debtor Releasing Parties shall be forever precluded from asserting any of
the claims released pursuant to Plan Sections 9.6 and 9.9 against any of the
Released Parties or any of the Released Parties’ respective assets; and to the
extent that any Non-Debtor Releasing Party receives monetary damages from any
Released Party on account of any claim released pursuant to Section 9.6 of the
Plan, such Non-Debtor Releasing Party as a result of the Plan shall assign all
of its right, title, and interest in and to such recovery to the Released
Parties against whom such money is recovered.

       

      33.           Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan or this Order to the contrary, the releases contained
in Plan Section 9.6 and herein shall not be construed as, or operate as a
release of, or limitation on (i) any claims by the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties
against the Released Parties that do not relate to or involve the Debtors or
these Cases, (ii) any claims, obligations, rights, causes of action, or
liabilities by the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties against the Released Parties
arising out of any action or omission to the extent that such action or omission
is determined in a Final Order by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
constituted willful misconduct or fraud, or (iii) objections to
Claims.

      34.           Release by the Debtor
Releasing Parties.  On the Effective Date, pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b), Bankruptcy Rule 9019, or otherwise, and except as
otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in the Plan Documents, the Debtor
Releasing Parties, in consideration of the obligations of the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors under the Plan and the Cash, the New Aurora Preferred Stock,
the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, the Exit Credit Facility (including the New
Secured Notes and the Working Capital Loans Notes), the New Warrants (if any),
and other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements, and documents to be
executed and delivered in connection with the Plan, and in consideration of (i)
the efforts of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization
of the Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the
Plan and (ii) certain of the Released Parties’ agreeing to have their claims
under their change-of-control agreements treated in the manner set forth in the
Management Transition Services Agreements and/or making the Lawson & Kidd
Payment (as applicable), shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely,
unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged the Released
Parties from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages,
demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities, whether liquidated or
unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, then existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or
otherwise, that such Debtor Releasing Party ever had, now has, or may have that
are based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, or occurrence
taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to the
Debtors, these Cases and the Commencement thereof, or the Plan; the Disclosure
Statement; the Plan Documents; the formulation, negotiation, preparation,
dissemination, implementation, and/or administration of the Plan, the Disclosure
Statement, and the Plan Documents; the confirmation and consummation of the
Plan; the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any
Claim or Interest of such Debtor Releasing Party, or any security previously
issued by either of the Debtors.  The immediately preceding sentence
shall not, however, apply to (i) any indebtedness of any Person to either of the
Debtors for money borrowed by such Person or any other contractual obligation of
any Person to either of the Debtors, or (ii) any setoff or counterclaim that the
Debtors may have or assert against any Person, provided that the aggregate
amount thereof shall not exceed the aggregate amount of any Claims held or
asserted by such Person against the Debtors.  Holders of Claims and
Interests against either of the Debtors shall be enjoined from commencing or
continuing any action, employment of process, or act to collect, offset, or
recover any such claim that could be brought on behalf of or in the name of the
Debtors.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -28-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      35.           Injunction Related to
Releases.  This Order shall
be deemed to permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Person,
whether directly, derivatively, or otherwise, of any claims, obligations, suits,
judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, or liabilities
released pursuant to the Plan (including the releases set forth in Plan Article
IX) and this Order.

       

      36.           Exculpation.  No
Released Party shall have or incur, and each Released Party hereby is exculpated
from, any liability to any Person for any act taken or not taken or any omission
in connection with, arising from or relating to these Cases (and the
commencement or administration thereof); the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or
the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, implementation, or
administration of any of the foregoing documents; the solicitation of votes in
connection with Confirmation of the Plan; the Exit Credit Facility; the Plan
Documents; the Confirmation and/or consummation of the Plan; any contract,
instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in
connection with the Plan; any other act taken or omitted to be taken in
connection with, or in contemplation of, any of the restructuring or other
transactions contemplated by the Plan; and the property to be distributed or
otherwise transferred under the Plan; provided, however, that nothing
in Plan Section 9.9 shall release any entity from any claims, obligations,
rights, causes of action, or liabilities arising out of such entity’s fraud or
willful misconduct.  Each Released Party shall be entitled reasonably
to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to its duties and
responsibilities under the Plan, and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting in accordance with such advice.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -29-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      37.           Upon
the Effective Date, the Old Aurora Common Stock shall be cancelled and deemed
terminated.

            -30-

Court shall further retain jurisdiction for the additional purposes as set forth
in Plan Section 12.2.

Exercise Jurisdiction.  If this Court abstains from exercising
or declines to exercise jurisdiction, or is otherwise without jurisdiction over
any matter arising out of these Cases, including the matters set forth in
Article XII of the Plan, such Article XII shall not prohibit or limit the
exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent jurisdiction with
respect to such matter.

       

      41.           Successors and
Assigns.  The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Person
named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns of such
Person.

       

      42.           Professional

order of this Court.  All final applications for Professional Fees for
services rendered in connection with these Cases prior to and including the
Confirmation Date are required to be filed with this Court not later than 90
days after the Effective Date.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -31-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      43.           Administrative Claims Bar
Date.  Each Holder of an Administrative Claim (except for an
Administrative Claim based upon Professional Fees, the allowance and timing for
filing of applications for Professional Fees being governed by Plan Section 13.7
and this Order, and any fees or charges due by the respective estates pursuant
to U.S.C. § 1930) arising prior to the Effective Date (other than for goods or
non-professional services provided to the Debtors during these Cases in the
ordinary course of the Debtors’ business) must file a request for payment on or

Professionals retained by the Creditors Committee and the members thereof shall
not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement of Professional Fees rendered
after the Effective Date, except for Professional Fees incurred in connection
with any applications for allowance of Professional Fees incurred as of the
Effective Date and approved by this Court.

       

      Miscellaneous

       

      46.           Applicability of Bankruptcy
Code § 1125.  The protection afforded by Bankruptcy Code §
1125(e) with regard to the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan
and with regard to the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the New Aurora
Preferred Stock, the New Aurora Class A Common Stock (including any and all
shares of common equity of Reorganized Aurora issued to the extent that New
Warrants are exercised), the New Aurora Class B Common Stock, the New Warrants
(if any), the New Secured Notes, the Working Capital Loans Notes, and/or any
other securities or notes issued in connection with the Plan, this Order, or a
Plan Document, shall apply to the fullest extent provided by law, and the entry
of this Order shall constitute the determination by this Court that the Debtors,
the DIP Facility Lenders, the Creditors Committee, the First Lien Loan Lenders,
the Second Lien Loan Lenders, the Administrative Agents, and each of their
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, members, agents, attorneys,
accountants, financial advisors, investment bankers, dealer-managers, placement
agents, and other professionals, shall have acted in good faith and in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code § 1125(e) and, therefore, are not liable on account of such
solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or
regulation governing solicitation of acceptance or rejection of a plan or the
offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -32-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      47.           Further
Actions.  The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall be
authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such documents, contracts,
instruments, certificates, releases, and other agreements and to take such other
action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further
evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, any Plan Document, the
transactions contemplated herein and therein, the Management and Director Equity
Plan, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exit Credit Facility, the Exit
Credit Facility Guarantee, or any notes, guarantee, or other documents or
agreements issued in connection herewith or therewith.

       

      48.           On
or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with this Court such
agreements and other documents as may be necessary and appropriate to effectuate
and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan.

       

      49.           Except
as to terms which, if unenforceable, would frustrate the overall purposes of the
Plan, should any provision in the Plan be determined to be unenforceable, such
determination shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and operative
effect of any or all other provisions of the Plan.

       

      50.           The
Debtors are hereby authorized to mail to all parties-in-interest in these Cases
and/or, at their discretion, publish notice of the entry of this Order and/or of
the Effective Date, together with notice of the last day for filing
Administrative Claims and Rejection Claims, all as contained and provided for
herein.

       

      51.           This
Order shall constitute all approvals and consents required, if any, by the laws,
rules or regulations of any state or any other governmental authority with
respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan, the Plan Documents,
and any other documents, instruments or agreements thereto, and any other acts
referred to in or contemplated by the Plan, the Plan Documents, and any other
documents, instruments, or agreements thereto.

       

      52.           The
provisions of the Plan and this Order, including the findings of fact and
conclusions of law set forth above, are non-severable and mutually dependent.
The classification of Claims and Interests for purposes of the distributions to
be made under the Plan shall be governed solely by the terms of the
Plan.  Under Bankruptcy Code §§ 1123(a) and 1142(a) and the provisions
of this Order, the Plan and all Plan Documents shall apply in accordance with
the terms thereof and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable
nonbankruptcy law.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -33-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      53.           The
failure to specifically include or reference any particular provision of the
Plan in this Order does not in any way diminish or impair the efficacy of such
provision, it being understood that the intent of this Order and this Court is
that the Plan be confirmed and approved in its entirety.

       

      54.           The
provision in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) staying an order authorizing the use, sale,
or lease of property until the expiration of 14 days after entry of the order is
hereby waived, such that the provisions of this Order are effective
immediately.  This Order is a final order, and the period in which an
appeal may be timely filed shall commence upon the entry hereof.

       

      55.           The
Debtors may, prior to the Effective Date, make appropriate technical adjustments
and modifications to the Plan without further order or approval of the Court,
provided that such technical adjustments and modifications do not adversely
affect in a material way the treatment of holders of Claims and Interests and
are filed on the Court’s docket.

       

      56.           This
Order shall be binding upon and govern the acts of all persons and entities,
including, without limitation, all filing agents, filing officers, title agents,
title companies, recorders of mortgages, recorders of deeds, registrars of
deeds, administrative agencies, governmental departments, secretaries of state,
state and local officials, and all other persons and entities who may be
required by operation of law, the duties of their office, or contract, to
accept, file, register, or otherwise record or release any documents or
instruments.  Each and every federal, state, and local government
agency is hereby directed to accept any and all documents and instruments
necessary, useful, or appropriate (including Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements) to effectuate, implement, and consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Plan and this Order without payment of any recording tax,
stamp tax, transfer tax, or similar tax imposed by state or local
law.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -34-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      57.           Notwithstanding
the stay contemplated by Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) and except as otherwise
provided in any other or prior order of this Court, immediately after entry of
this Order, the provisions of the Plan and this Order shall be deemed binding
against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any and all Holders of Claims
against, or Interests in, the Debtors (irrespective of whether such Claims or
Interests accepted, rejected, or are deemed to have accepted or rejected, the
Plan), any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts with the Debtors,
and any and all Persons that are parties to, or are subject to, the releases,
discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan.  Accordingly,
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e), the fourteen-day period provided by such
rule is hereby waived in its entirety.

       

      58.           Captions
and headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not
intended to be a part of, or to affect the interpretation of, this
Order.

       

      59.           Notwithstanding
anything that may be to the contrary in this Order or in the Plan, nothing
herein or in the Plan shall be deemed to affect or impair the respective rights
of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, Aurora Operating, LLC (“Aurora
Operating”), Deka, Inc., the First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Loan
Lenders, the DIP Facility Lenders, or the Exit Credit Facility Lenders with
respect to the issue of whether or not any leases currently held by, and in the
name of, Aurora are required to be transferred or assigned to Aurora Operating,
subject to any and all liens such lenders may have upon such
leases.  Instead, all such parties shall be deemed to have reserved
any and all of their respective rights with respect to such issues following the
Confirmation Date.

      

      
        
          
             

          

          
            -35-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

      

      60.           For purposes of clarification, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, immediately prior to the
Effective Date, each of the First Lien Loan Lenders shall assign to Aurora its
pro rata share of the Class 2A Claims that remain after
deducting the portion of such First Lien Lender's Allowed 2A Claims that are to be
Reinstated and modified as its New Secured
Notes.  On the Effective Date, such portion of the Class 2A Claims
assigned by each of the First Lien Loan Lenders to Aurora shall be exchanged for
the issuance by Reorganized Aurora of such First Lien Loan Lender’s pro rata portion
of 32 million shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock.  Such New Aurora

transfer ownership of the NW Bank Note Collateral to the Holder of the NW Bank
Note Secured Claim on the Effective Date by means of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure containing anti-merger language.  Upon such transfer, the
NW Bank Note and all outstanding notes issued in connection with the NW Bank
Note shall become non-recourse and shall no longer be obligations of the
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates.  The NW Bank Note
and all outstanding notes issued in connection with the NW Bank Note shall
remain as obligations secured by the NW Bank Note Collateral unless and until
that lien is expressly released by NW Bank in writing.  The sum total
of the value of the distributions to be made to the Holder of the Allowed NW
Bank Note Secured Claim, as of the Effective Date, shall not exceed the amount
of Allowed NW Bank Note Secured Claim.

     

    (b)           The NW Bank Deposit Account Advance
Claim:  The NW Bank Deposit Account Advance Claim shall be
deemed an Allowed Claim in the amount of $506,648.82.  In full
settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, the NW Bank Deposit
Account Advance Claim, on the Effective Date, NW Bank shall have the right to
setoff against the Debtors’ deposit accounts at NW Bank in the amount of
$506,648.82.  The sum total of the value of the distributions to be
made to NW Bank on account of the Allowed NW Bank Deposit Account Advance Claim,
as of the Effective Date, shall not exceed the amount of the Allowed NW Bank
Deposit Account Advance Claim.

    (c)           The NW Bank LCs
Claim:  The NW Bank LCs Claim shall be deemed an Allowed Claim
in an amount equal to the value of the NW Bank LCs Collateral as of the
Effective Date, as determined pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §
506(a).  The Debtors shall, in full satisfaction, settlement, release,
and discharge of, and in exchange for, the Allowed NW Bank LCs Claim, release
from the NW Bank LCs Collateral to NW Bank the amount, if any, equal to what has
been drawn down on the NW Bank LCs prior to the Effective Date, and the NW Bank
LCs shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Effective Date
according to their terms for the full remaining undrawn amount
thereof.  Reorganized Aurora shall assume the obligation to pay annual
fees at market rates for the continuation of the NW Bank LCs (currently 1%
annually of the outstanding principal amount of the NW Bank LCs) and NW Bank
shall retain as collateral therefor the remaining NW Bank LCs Collateral and
interest accrued thereon from time to time; provided, however, that at no
time shall the total aggregate amount of all cash collateral that is actually in
deposit in all of Aurora's bank accounts with NW Bank which constitute part of
the NW Bank LCs Collateral exceed the outstanding principal amount of the NW
Bank LCs plus any obligation to reimburse NW Bank for any NW Bank LCs drawn for
which NW Bank has not yet been reimbursed and any obligation for annual letter
of credit fees then past due and, to the extent that any such excess exists at
any time, NW Bank shall promptly release and make available such excess amount
to Reorganized Aurora, free of any liens or any other claims
thereto.  On the later of the Effective Date or as soon as any such
payment would otherwise become due and payable to NW Bank, the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall pay to NW Bank the annual fees due
with respect to the NW Bank LCs.  The sum total of the value of the
distributions to be made to the Holder of the Allowed NW Bank LCs Claim, as of
the Effective Date, shall not exceed the amount of Allowed NW Bank LCs
Claims.

     

    (d)           Partial Building Lease and Mutual
Release of Claims:  In consideration of the agreement of NW
Bank that the NW Bank Secured Claims shall be treated as provided in Section 4.4
of this Plan, and in consideration of the agreement by NW Bank to waive any
right to distribution on account of the NW Bank Note Deficiency Claim,
Reorganized Aurora shall lease approximately one-half of the NW Bank Note
Collateral for a period of six months following the Effective
Date.  Under this lease, the principal obligations of Reorganized
Aurora shall be the payment of base rent in the amount of $8,500 per month;
payment of all utilities for the NW Bank Collateral, provided, however, that to the
extent that any other Person leases any part of the NW Bank Collateral during
such six-month lease term, Reorganized Aurora shall not be liable for the
payment of the utilities in the NW Bank Collateral which are attributable to
such other Person; maintenance of insurance on the NW Bank Collateral, with NW
Bank as a mortgagee insured, provided, however, that to the
extent that any other Person leases any part of the NW Bank Collateral during
such six-month lease term, Reorganized Aurora shall not be liable for the
payment of insurance on the portion of the NW Bank Collateral leased by such
other Person; and payment monthly of one-half of the condominium association
fee.  In addition, consummation of the Plan on the Effective Date
shall constitute the release (i) by the Debtors of any and all claims which
they, or either of them, might have or claim to have against NW Bank, except for
the obligations of NW Bank arising under the provisions of the Plan and the NW
Bank LCs, and (ii) by NW Bank of any and all claims which it might have or claim
to have against the Debtors, except for the obligations of the Debtors arising
under the provisions of the Plan and the NW Bank LCs.

Unimpaired Claims.  Except as may otherwise be provided in the
Plan, the Confirmation Order, any other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or any
Plan Document, nothing shall affect the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ (as
applicable) rights and defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any
Claim that is not impaired under this Plan, including, but not limited to, all
rights with respect to legal and equitable defenses to, and/or setoffs or
recoupments against, such Claim.

under the Plan.  Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 2A, 2B, 3A, or
3B are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  Holders of
Claims or Interests (as applicable) in Classes 4, 5, and 6 shall receive no
distribution under the Plan (other than as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof with
respect to Class 5 Intercompany Claims); therefore, the Holders of Claims or
Interests (as applicable) in those Classes are deemed to have rejected the Plan
and, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1126(g), are not entitled to vote to accept
or reject the Plan.

     

    5.2.           Class 2A -- First Lien Loan

the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, each Holder of an
Allowed Class 2A Claim as of the Distribution Record Date, or an affiliate of
such Holder designated by such Holder prior to the Effective Date, shall receive

each of the Debtors, such Holder’s Pro Rata share of the New Secured Notes, and
(ii) in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in
exchange for, the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim against each of the
Debtors, such Holder’s Pro Rata share of 32 million shares of the New Aurora

outstanding shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock, and shall not be subject to
any dilution or further issuance of any additional shares of New Aurora
Preferred Stock except as expressly provided under Plan Section
6.15(f).  For purposes of this Section 5.2(b), "affiliate" means, with
respect to a Holder, a subsidiary of a Holder or any other entity that is
directly or indirectly owned by the same parent entity that directly or
indirectly owns the Holder.

     

    (c)           The
Allowed First Lien Loan Claims shall be considered Allowed Claims against (a)
Aurora (in its capacity as the borrower under the First Lien Loan) and (b) HPPC,
in its capacity as a First Lien Loan Guarantor.  The sum total of the

    (e)           On
the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, upon full satisfaction

2A Claims shall not receive any distribution as general unsecured creditors in
Class 3A or 3B under the Plan.

     

    5.3.           Class 2B -- Second Lien Loan
Claims.

     

    (a)           The
Second Lien Loan Claims shall be deemed Allowed Claims in the aggregate amount
of accrued and unpaid principal, interest, fees, expenses, and other obligations
under the Second Lien Loan up to the Effective Date (subject to Bankruptcy Code

    (b)           On
the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, each Holder of an
Allowed Class 2B Claim as of the Distribution Record Date, or an affiliate of
such Holder designated by such Holder prior to the Effective Date, shall receive
such Holder's Pro Rata share of 56 million shares of New Aurora Class A Common
Stock.  The New Aurora Class A Common Stock issued on the Effective
Date, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, shall, in the aggregate,
represent, as of the Effective Date, 100% of the outstanding shares of New
Aurora Class A Common Stock, subject to dilution on a pari passu basis with all
other Holders of shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock upon the issuance of
shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the New

with respect to a Holder, a subsidiary of a Holder or any other entity that is
directly or indirectly owned by the same parent entity that directly or
indirectly owns the Holder.

     

    (c)           The

Lien Loan Claims, as of the Effective Date, shall not exceed the aggregate

to Section 4.01 of the Second Lien Loan, and as set forth further in Plan
Sections 6.6(d) and 6.14, the total distribution of the 56 million shares of New
Aurora Class A Common Stock to be provided for under this Plan Section 5.3 on
account of Allowed Second Lien Loan Claims shall be made by the Reorganized
Debtors on the Effective Date to the Second Lien Loan Administrative Agent for

Lien Loan Claims (or such Holder’s affiliate, as provided for in Plan Section
5.3)(a)) as of the Distribution Record Date.

to a less favorable treatment of such Allowed Claim, each Holder of an Allowed
Class 3A Claim shall receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and
discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Claim, such Holder’s Pro Rata
Share of $350,000 on the latest of (i) the Initial Distribution Date, (ii) the
date that is 30 days after the Allowance Date of such Claim, and (iii) the date
when such Allowed Claim becomes due and payable according to its terms and
conditions.  Such $350,000 shall include the Lawson & Kidd Payment
(in the amount of $32,453) to the extent such payment is made by Lawson &
Kidd on or prior to the Effective Date.  The Lawson & Kidd Payment
(to the extent so made) shall be in full settlement of any and all claims or
causes of action that the Debtors or the Estates may have against Lawson &
Kidd, LLP or its principals or any other related Person.  In the event
that the Lawson & Kidd Payment is not made by Lawson & Kidd, LLP on or
prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the full $350,000 payment of
Class 3A Claims and shall transfer to the Reorganized Debtors all of their
right, title, and interest to any and all claims or causes of action that the
Debtors or the Estates may have against Lawson & Kidd, LLP or its principals
or any related Person.  On the Effective Date, subject to the payment

satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of, and in exchange for, such
Allowed Claim, such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of $50,000 on the latest of (i) the
Initial Distribution Date, (ii) the date that is 30 days after the Allowance
Date of such Claim, and (iii) the date when such Allowed Claim becomes due and
payable according to its terms and conditions; provided, however, that no
Holder of a Class 3B Claim shall be entitled to receive a distribution in Cash
that exceeds 100% of the Allowed amount of its Claim.  On the
Effective Date, subject to the payment of any Allowed Claims in such Class as
provided for herein, all Class 3B Claims shall be cancelled and be deemed
terminated and of no force and effect.

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all options or rights
to exercise warrants or options or to otherwise acquire any shares of Old Aurora
Common Stock or any other Interest in Aurora, under any of the Existing Stock
Option Plans or otherwise, shall be cancelled and be deemed terminated and of no
force and effect.  No distribution of any kind shall be made on
account of the Old Aurora Common Stock or any other Old Stock of Aurora under
the Plan.

     

    5.7.           Class 5 -- Intercompany
Claims.  Class 5 Claims shall be Allowed in the amounts as
reflected on the Debtors’ respective books and records; provided, however, that all
Intercompany Claims shall be reviewed by the Debtors and adjusted, continued, or
discharged, as the Debtors determine, as appropriate (by, among other things,
releasing such claims, contributing them to capital, issuing a dividend, or
leaving them unimpaired), taking into account, among other things, the
distribution of consideration under the Plan and the economic condition of the
Reorganized Debtors, among other things.  The Holders of Intercompany
Claims shall not be entitled to participate in any of the distributions on
account of Claims under Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5 hereof and shall only be
entitled to the treatment provided in this Section 5.7.

     

    5.8.           Class 6 -- Old HPPC
Interests.  On the Effective Date, all outstanding Old HPPC

under this Plan, including, but not limited to, all rights with respect to legal
and equitable defenses to, and/or setoffs or recoupments against, such

applicable agreements and constituent documents (including the Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Amended and Restated By-Laws, and the
Amended and Restated LLC Agreement) of the Reorganized Debtors.

contemplated by the Plan, the Plan Documents, or such other documents, and all

provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure, assets, and/or
operations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any corporate or similar
action required by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in connection with the
Plan or the Plan Documents shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in
effect, without any requirement of further action by the respective security
holders, members, officers, managers, or directors of the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors.  After the Confirmation Date and on or prior to
the Effective Date, the appropriate members of the Boards of Directors and/or

    6.5.           Administration of the
Plan.

     

    (a)           After
the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors is authorized, respectively,
to perform those responsibilities, duties, and obligations set forth herein,
including, without limitation, making distributions as provided under the Plan,
objecting to the allowance of any Claim, and prosecuting any litigation
pertaining thereto, to pay such Claims as may be later Allowed, all as
contemplated by the dispute resolution procedures contained in Plan Section
6.10, and overseeing and governing the continuing affairs and operations of the
Reorganized Debtors on a going-forward basis.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -28-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (b)           The
Reorganized Debtors may retain such management, law firms, accounting firms,
experts, advisors, agents, consultants, investigators, appraisers, auctioneers,
or other professionals as they may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate,
including, without limitation, a transfer or disbursing agent, to aid them in
the performance of their responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the
Plan.  It shall not be a requirement that any such parties retained by
either of the Reorganized Debtors be a “disinterested person” (as such term is
defined in Bankruptcy Code § 101(14)), and such retained parties may
include Professionals or other Persons who had previously been active in these
Cases on behalf of any Debtor, Creditor, Interest Holder, the Creditors
Committee, or other constituency herein.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, following the issuance of the New Warrants, the
Reorganized Debtors may arrange for a third party to serve as the New Warrant
agent.

     

    (c)           The
Reorganized Debtors shall be responsible for filing all federal, state, and
local tax returns for the Debtors and for the Reorganized Debtors.

     

    (d)           To
the extent the manner of performance is not specified herein, the Debtors and
the Reorganized Debtors shall have the discretion to carry out and perform all
other obligations or duties imposed on them by, or actions contemplated or
authorized by, the Plan, any Plan Document, or by law in any manner their
respective Boards of Directors, managers, or officers so choose.

     

    6.6.           Provisions Relating to the Existing
Old Aurora Common Stock and the Credit Facilities.

     

    (a)           On
the Effective Date (and solely with respect to the DIP Facility, upon the
payment in full of the DIP Facility Claims with proceeds from the Working
Capital Loans or otherwise), except as expressly otherwise set forth in the Plan
(including Section 4.4(b) hereof), any and all notes issued in connection with
any of the Credit Facilities or any of the Guarantees; the Old Aurora Common
Stock; the NW Bank Agreements; any other Interests in Aurora; the Existing Stock
Option Plans; and any other options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, or other
similar rights or other agreements or commitments, contractual or otherwise,
obligating either of the Debtors to issue, transfer, or sell any shares of Old
Aurora Common Stock or any other Interest in Aurora or HPPC, shall be
automatically canceled and deemed terminated, extinguished, and of no further
force and effect without further act or action under any applicable agreement,
law, regulation, order, or rule, and the Holders thereof or the parties thereto
shall have no rights, and such instruments or agreements shall evidence no
rights except the right to receive the distributions (if any) to be made to the
Holders of such instruments under this Plan.

     

    (b)           No
Holder of any notes issued in connection with any of the Credit Facilities or
any of the Guarantees shall be entitled to any distribution under the Plan
unless and until such Holder has first surrendered or caused to be surrendered
any such notes or Guarantees to the applicable Administrative Agent, which in
turn shall surrender any and all such notes or Guarantees to the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, or, in the event that such original notes or Guarantees
have been lost, destroyed, stolen, or mutilated, has first executed and
delivered an affidavit of loss and indemnity with respect thereto in a form
customarily utilized for such purposes that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, and, in the event the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors so request, has first furnished a bond in form and substance
(including, without limitation, amount) reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable).  If a Holder has actual
possession of any note or Guarantee issued in connection with any Credit
Facility or any of the Guarantees, then such Holder must physically surrender or
cause to be surrendered its note(s) or Guarantee(s) to the applicable
Administrative Agent for subsequent distribution to the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), in accordance with the procedures required
by the Debtors.  As soon as practicable after such surrender of the
applicable note or Guarantee to the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors), or
such delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity and such furnishing of a
bond as provided in this Section 6.6(b), the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors
(as applicable) shall make the distributions provided in the Plan with respect
to the applicable Allowed Claim(s) (as and to the extent as set forth in the
Plan).  Promptly upon the surrender of such instruments, the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall cancel any and all notes issued
in connection with any of the Credit Facilities or any of the Guarantees (if
any).

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -29-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (c)           All
distributions under the Plan on account of the Allowed First Lien Loan Claims
shall initially be distributed to the First Lien Loan Administrative Agent for
further distribution to the Holders of Allowed First Lien Loan Claims as of the
Distribution Record Date, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of
the First Lien Loan and the Plan.  Upon the delivery of the foregoing
distributions to the First Lien Loan Administrative Agent, the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors shall be released of all liability with respect to their
obligation to make such delivery.  The First Lien Loan Administrative
Agent shall thereafter take all steps reasonably necessary and appropriate to
effectuate such further distribution thereof to the Holders of the Allowed First
Lien Loan Claims.  Similarly, all distributions under the Plan on
account of the Allowed Second Lien Loan Claims shall initially be distributed to
the Second Lien Loan Administrative Agent for further distribution to the
Holders of Allowed Second Lien Loan Claims as of the Distribution Record Date,
pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Second Lien Loan and
the Plan.  Upon the delivery of the foregoing distributions to the
Second Lien Loan Administrative Agent, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors
shall be released of all liability with respect to their obligation to make such
delivery.  The Second Lien Loan Administrative Agent shall thereafter
take all steps reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectuate such further
distribution thereof to the Holders of the Allowed Second Lien Loan
Claims.  Also, all distributions under the Plan on account of the
Allowed DIP Facility Claims shall initially be distributed to the DIP Facility
Administrative Agent, for further distribution to the Holders of Allowed DIP
Facility Claims as of the Distribution Record Date, pursuant to the terms and
subject to the conditions of the DIP Facility and the Plan.  Upon the
delivery of the foregoing distributions to the DIP Facility Administrative
Agent, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall be released of all
liability with respect to their obligation to make such delivery.  The
DIP Facility Administrative Agent shall thereafter take all steps reasonably
necessary and appropriate to effectuate such further distribution thereof to the
Holders of the Allowed DIP Facility Claims.  On the Effective Date
(and, solely with respect to the DIP Facility, upon the payment in full of the
DIP Facility Claims with proceeds from the Working Capital Loans or otherwise),
all of the obligations and Liens under the respective Credit Facilities other
than those that are being expressly reinstated and modified in the manner set
forth in Section 5.2 hereof shall be deemed terminated, canceled, and
extinguished (all without any further action by any Person or the Bankruptcy
Court) and shall have no further legal effect other than as evidence of any
right to receive distributions under the Plan as set forth in Sections 3.2, 5.2,
and 5.3 hereof; provided, however, that the
respective Credit Facilities shall continue in effect and shall not be deemed
canceled on the books and records of the applicable Administrative Agents,
solely for the purposes of and to the extent necessary to (i) facilitate the
respective distributions to the First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Loan
Lenders, or the DIP Facility Lenders as of the Distribution Record Date,
pursuant to the Plan and (ii) to enable the respective Administrative Agents to
perform any and all current and future administrative functions.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -30-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (d)           All
distributions under the Plan on account of the Allowed NW Bank Claims shall be
distributed to NW Bank as the Holder of the Allowed NW Bank Claims as of the
Distribution Record Date, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of
the NW Bank Agreements and the Plan.  Upon the delivery of the
foregoing distributions to NW Bank, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors
shall be released of all liability with respect to their obligation to make such
delivery.  On the Effective Date, the Claims against the Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, or the Estates under the NW Bank Note shall be deemed
released and settled (all without any further action by any Person or the
Bankruptcy Court) and shall have no further legal effect other than as evidence
of any right to receive distributions under the Plan as set forth in Sections
4.4 and 5.4 hereof.

     

    (e)           On
the Effective Date, the Old Aurora Common Stock and the Old HPPC Interests shall
be deemed terminated, canceled, and extinguished (all without any further action
by any Person or the Bankruptcy Court) and shall have no further legal
effect.

     

    (f)           The
Debtors shall pay the reasonable and customary fees, charges, and expenses
incurred by the respective Administrative Agents (including, without limitation,
the reasonable and customary fees, charges and expenses of each such
Administrative Agents’ counsel, financial advisor, and any other agent or
consultant) in the performance of any function associated with the Credit
Facilities or the Plan (as applicable) during the period from and including the
Petition Date until such time as all distributions provided for under the Plan
to the Holders of Allowed First Lien Loan Claims, Allowed Second Lien Loan
Claims, and Allowed DIP Facility Claims (as applicable) have been
made.

     

    6.7.           Delivery of Distributions; Unclaimed
Property; Undeliverable Distributions.

     

    
      (a)           Except
as may otherwise be provided in Sections 3.2, 5.2, 5.3, 6.7, and 6.8 hereof, any
distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims under this Plan shall be
made:  (i) at the addresses set forth either on the Schedules or as
otherwise set forth on the Debtors’ respective books and records, or on the
respective Proofs of Claim filed by such Holders in the event that the addresses
indicated thereon differ from those set forth on the Schedules or as otherwise
set forth on the Debtors’ respective books and records or upon the applicable
securities depositories, clearing systems, or broker, bank, or custodial
participants in the clearing system (as applicable); or (ii) at the addresses
set forth in any written notices of address change delivered to the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors (if after the Effective Date) after the date of any
related Proof of Claim.

       

      

    

    
      (b)           In
accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1143, any Holder of any note issued in
connection with any of the Credit Facilities or any of the Guarantees that fails
to surrender the applicable note or deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity
as provided herein by 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the date that is one
year from and after the later of the Effective Date or the applicable Allowance
Date with respect to any Claims arising from or relating to such note issued in
connection with any of the Credit Facilities or the Guarantees (if any), shall
be deemed to have forfeited all rights and claims in respect of such Claims, and
shall be forever barred from receiving any distributions under the Plan on
account thereof.  In such cases, any property held for distribution by
the applicable Administrative Agent on account of Allowed Claims based on such
note issued in connection with the applicable Credit Facility or any of the
Guarantees (if any), shall be made available for redistribution, on a Pro Rata
basis, to all other Holders of Allowed Claims arising under the applicable
Credit Facility that timely surrendered the applicable note or delivered an
affidavit of loss and indemnity as provided herein.

      

        
          
             

          

          
            -31-

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

    

    (c)           If
the distribution to the Holder of any Allowed Priority Claim, Allowed Class 2C
Claim, Allowed Class 3A Claim, or Allowed Class 3B Claim is returned to the
Reorganized Debtors as undeliverable, no further distribution shall be made to
such Holder unless and until the Reorganized Debtors are notified in writing of
such Holder’s then current address.

     

    (d)           Any
Holder of an Allowed Claim who does not assert a claim for an undeliverable
distribution by 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the date that is one year
after the date by which such Holder was first entitled to such distribution
shall no longer have any claim to, or interest in, such undeliverable
distribution and shall be forever barred from receiving any distribution under
the Plan.  Following the date that is one year from and after the
Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall submit into the Bankruptcy
Court’s Registry Fund any funds that have been returned to them as
undeliverable.

     

    (e)           Nothing
contained in the Plan shall require the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to
attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

     

    6.8.           Funding of Cash Distributions under
the Plan.  Any funds necessary to make the Cash distributions
required under the Plan and/or to fund the future obligations of the Reorganized
Debtors shall (as applicable) be made from:  the Cash on hand of the
Debtors and of the Reorganized Debtors; the Working Capital Loans; the Lawson
& Kidd Payment (to the extent made on or prior to the Effective Date); and
the future operations of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (as
applicable).

     

    6.9.           Manner of Payments Under the
Plan.  Any Cash distribution to be made by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) pursuant to the Plan may be made by a check
on a United States bank selected by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as
applicable); provided, however, that Cash
distributions made to foreign Holders of Allowed Claims may be paid, at the
option of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (as applicable), in such funds
and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign
jurisdiction.

     

    6.10.        
Disputed
Claims.

     

    (a)           No
distribution or payment shall be made on a Disputed Claim until such Disputed
Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.  On the Initial Distribution Date, the
distributions reserved for the Holders of any Disputed Claims in each Class
under the Plan shall be deposited in deposit accounts that meet the requirements
of Bankruptcy Code § 345 for the benefit of the Holders of Disputed Claims whose
Claims are ultimately Allowed in the respective Classes in which the Disputed
Claims are classified (each deposit account a “Disputed Claims Reserve”);
provided, however, that neither
the Debtors nor the Reorganized Debtors shall be required to deposit any Cash,
securities, or other property or assets into a Disputed
Claims  Reserve on account of a particular Disputed Claim with respect
to which the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors have filed a motion or objection
with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to either (a) estimate or liquidate the
Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim at $0 or (b) disallow, expunge, vacate, or
otherwise strike such Disputed Claim on any grounds.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -32-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (b)           Subject
to the other provisions of this Plan (including Section 6.10(a) hereof), the
Reorganized Debtors (or any transfer or disbursing agent retained by the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Plan Section 6.5(b)) shall withhold from the
property to be distributed under the Plan and deposit in each Disputed Claims
Reserve a sufficient amount of such withheld property to be distributed on
account of the face amount of Claims that are Disputed Claims in such Class as
of the Initial Distribution Date for such Class under the Plan.  For
the purposes of this provision, the “face amount” of a Claim is (i) the amount
set forth on the applicable Proof of Claim or such lower amount as may be
determined in accordance with Plan Section 6.10(c), unless the Claim is filed in
an unliquidated amount; or (ii) if a Proof of Claim has been filed in an
unliquidated amount, the amount determined in accordance with Plan Section
6.10(c).

     

    (c)           As
to a Disputed Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall, upon motion by the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest in these Cases (as
applicable), estimate the maximum allowable amount of such Disputed Claim and
the amount to be placed in the Disputed Claims Reserve on account of such
Disputed Claim.  If so authorized by order of the Bankruptcy Court,
any Creditor whose Claim (i) is estimated by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or
(ii) is the subject of a motion or objection to (a) estimate or liquidate the
Allowed amount of such Disputed Claim at $0 or (b) disallow, expunge, vacate, or
otherwise strike such Disputed Claim in full on any grounds, as contemplated by
Plan Section 6.10(a), shall not have any recourse to the Debtors or to the
Reorganized Debtors, any Assets theretofore distributed on account of any
Allowed Claim, or any other entity or property if the finally Allowed Claim of
that Creditor exceeds that estimated maximum allowable
amount.  Instead, such Creditor shall have recourse only to the
undistributed Cash (if any) in the applicable Disputed Claims Reserve for the
Claim of that Creditor and (on a Pro Rata basis with the other Creditors of the
same Class who are similarly situated) to those portions (if any) of the
Disputed Claims Reserve for other Disputed Claims of the same Class that exceed
the ultimately Allowed amount of such Claims.

     

    (d)           All
earnings on any Cash held in a Disputed Claims Reserve (if any) shall be held in
trust and shall be distributed only in the manner described in the
Plan.

     

    (e)           At
such time as all or any portion of a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim,
the distributions reserved for such Disputed Claim or such portion, plus any
earnings thereon (if any), shall be released from the appropriate Disputed
Claims Reserve and delivered to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in the manner
as described in the Plan.  At such time as all or any portion of any
Disputed Priority Claim or any Disputed Class 1 or 2C Claim is determined not to
be an Allowed Claim, the distribution reserved for such Disputed Claim or such
portion, plus any earnings thereon (if any), shall be released from the
appropriate Disputed Claims Reserve and returned to the Reorganized
Debtors.  At such time as all or any portion of any Disputed Class 3A
Claim or Disputed 3B Claim is determined not to be an Allowed Claim, the
distribution reserved for such Disputed Claim or such portion, plus any earnings
thereon (if any), shall be released from the appropriate Disputed Claims Reserve
account and made available for redistribution in a timely manner, on a Pro Rata
basis, to the Holders of Allowed Claims of such Classes; provided, however, that neither
the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, nor any transfer or disbursing agent
retained by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Plan Section 6.5(b) shall be
required to make any such redistribution until the aggregate amount available
with respect thereto is at least $5,000.  Upon the resolution of all
Disputed Claims, any remaining amounts that had been reserved on account thereof
shall be finally distributed in the manner set forth herein.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -33-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (f)           (i)
After the Confirmation Date, the Debtors (in consultation with the Creditors
Committee, the First Lien Loan Administrative Agent, and the Second Lien Loan
Administrative Agent), and (ii) on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized
Debtors shall have the authority to object to and litigate any Disputed Claims,
and shall have the authority to settle, compromise, resolve, or withdraw any
objection to Disputed Claims, without the need for any Bankruptcy Court or other
approval or any other or further notice.

     

    (g)           Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan, if there exists any Disputed Administrative
Claim, Disputed Tax Claim, or Disputed DIP Facility Claim, or any Disputed Class
1 or 2C Claim, the Reorganized Debtors shall withhold in a reserve account the
“face amount” (as calculated under Plan Section 6.10(b)) of any such Disputed
Claim until and to the extent such Claim is determined to be an Allowed
Claim.

     

    6.11.        
Bar Date for Objections to
Claims.  All objections to Claims (other than with respect to
(a) Administrative Claims and (b) Rejection Claims arising under those Executory
Contracts that are to be rejected under and pursuant to the Plan) must be filed
by the Claims Objection Bar Date.  The failure by any
party-in-interest, including the Debtors, to object to any Claim, whether or not
unpaid, for purposes of voting shall not be deemed a waiver of such party’s
rights to object to, or to re-examine, any such Claim in whole or in part, for
purposes of distributions under the Plan.

     

    6.12.        
Deadlines for Determining the
Record Holders of the Various Classes of Claims.  At the close
of business on the Distribution Record Date, the respective transfer records for
the Credit Facilities, the NW Bank Agreements, and the Old HPPC Interests shall
be closed, and there shall be no further changes in the record holders of the
respective Credit Facilities Claims, NW Bank Claims, General Unsecured Claims,
or the Old HPPC Interests after such date.  Neither the Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, any disbursing agent or transfer agent retained by the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Plan Section 6.5(b), nor the respective
Administrative Agents shall have any obligation to recognize any transfer of the
First Lien Loan Claims, the Second Lien Loan Claims, the NW Bank Claims, the DIP
Facility Claims, any notes issued in connection with any of the Credit
Facilities, the NW Bank Agreements, or any of the Guarantees (if any), any
General Unsecured Claim, or the Old HPPC Interests occurring after the
Distribution Record Date, and such parties shall be entitled, instead, to
recognize and deal for all purposes hereunder with only those record holders
thereof as of the close of business on the Distribution Record
Date.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -34-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    6.13.        
The Exit Credit Facility, the
Working Capital Loans, the New Secured Notes, and the Exit Credit Facility
Guarantee.

     

    (a)           On
the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the Reorganized
Debtors, either as direct borrowers or as an Exit Credit Facility Guarantor, the
Exit Credit Facility Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, and the Exit
Credit Facility Lender(s), as lender(s) (in each case, as may be set forth in
the final Exit Credit Facility), may (as applicable) execute and deliver the
Exit Credit Facility, the New Secured Notes, the Working Capital Loans Notes,
the Exit Credit Facility Guarantee, and any and all security agreements,
mortgages or extensions of mortgages, certificates, and other instruments,
agreements, assignments, and documents contemplated and/or required by the Exit
Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, any and all such documents that
serve to evidence and secure the Reorganized Debtors’ respective obligations
under the Exit Credit Facility and/or the Exit Credit Facility Guarantee (as
applicable), and any Liens in favor of the Exit Credit Facility Lender(s)
securing such obligations.  The New Secured Notes under the Exit
Credit Facility shall constitute a reinstatement and modification of the Class
2A Claims under the First Lien Loan in the manner set forth in Section 5.2
hereof, and, as a result, all of the outstanding amounts under the Exit Credit
Facility shall (a) continue to be secured by the perfected Liens which exist
under the First Lien Loan and (b) be secured by perfected Liens in substantially
all of the respective assets of the Reorganized Debtors.

     

    (b)           The
First Lien Loan Lenders shall have the option to participate as an Exit Credit
Facility Lender and provide the Working Capital Loans to Reorganized
Aurora.  In the event that all the Exit Credit Facility Lenders under
the Working Capital Loans are First Lien Lenders, each participating First Lien
Loan Lender shall be entitled to participate in the Working Capital Loans on a
Pro Rata basis, based on the total amount outstanding under the First Lien
Loan.  In the event that some or all of the First Lien Loan Lenders
fail to fully subscribe the Working Capital Loans, then some or all of the
Second Lien Loan Lenders shall be entitled to participate with such
participating First Lien Loan Lenders and provide the remaining portion that is
necessary to fully subscribe the Working Capital Loans.  In such
event, such participating Second Lien Loan Lenders shall be entitled to share
pari passu in the
collateral securing the Tranche A Notes solely with respect to their respective
portion of the Working Capital Loans.

     

    (c)           In
the event that none of the First Lien Loan Lenders subscribe to the Working
Capital Loans, then some or all of the Second Lien Loan Lenders shall instead
provide such Working Capital Loans, and the participation of such Second Lien
Loan Lenders shall be on a Pro Rata basis, based on the total principal amount
outstanding under the Second Lien Loan.  To the extent that the
Working Capital Loans are subscribed exclusively by the Second Lien Loan
Lenders, such Working Capital Loans shall be secured as second lien debt
subordinate solely to the Tranche A Notes.  If less than all of the
Second Lien Loan Lenders are Exit Credit Facility Lenders under the Exit Credit
Facility, (a) the Second Lien Loan Lenders subscribing to the Working Capital
Loans shall be entitled to provide any remaining portion of the Working Capital
Loans and (b) the Second Lien Loan Administrative Agent shall provide any
portion of the Working Capital Loans that is not otherwise subscribed as
described herein.

     

    (d)           Advances
under the Working Capital Loans shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per
annum.  Maturity of the Working Capital Loans shall be the date that
is 24 months following the Effective Date.  On the maturity date of
the Working Capital Loans, the Reorganized Debtors shall also pay a premium
equal to 50% of the principal amount borrowed thereunder.  At the
execution of the Exit Credit Facility, each Exit Credit Facility Lender shall be
entitled to an upfront fee equal to 3% of its share of the total commitments
under the Working Capital Loans.  Amounts repaid under the Working
Capital Loans by the Reorganized Debtors may be prepaid and
re-borrowed.  The documentation memorializing the Exit Credit Facility
shall include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and
indemnities.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -35-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (e)           Solely
to the extent that the Second Lien Loan Lenders exclusively subscribe to the
Working Capital Loans, such Second Lien Loan Lenders subscribing to the Working
Capital Loans shall collectively receive 10-year warrants to purchase, in the
aggregate, 35% of the New Aurora Class A Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis)
at a nominal exercise price (the “New Warrants”).

     

    (f)           On
the date of the execution and delivery of the Exit Credit Facility (which shall
be no earlier than the Effective Date), Reorganized Aurora shall issue, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan (including Section 5.2 hereof) and the
Exit Credit Facility, the New Secured Notes to the First Lien Loan
Administrative Agent for subsequent distribution on a Pro Rata basis to the
Holders of Allowed First Lien Loan Claims.

     

    (g)           The
New Secured Notes shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) with
respect to the Tranche A Notes, LIBOR plus a margin of 3%, and (b) with respect
to the Tranche B Notes, 6% fixed.  Interest on (a) the Tranche A Notes
shall be payable quarterly, and (b) the Tranche B Notes shall accrue but not be
paid and instead shall be capitalized (“PIK Interest”) and added
quarterly to the principal amount outstanding of such Tranche B Notes, and the
new principal balance thereof outstanding (which includes any capitalized PIK
Interest) shall thereafter continue to accrue interest at the rate applicable
for such Tranche B Notes.  The principal amounts of the New Secured
Notes (including all capitalized PIK Interest) shall be payable at maturity,
which shall be the date that is 24 months following the Effective
Date.  The documentation memorializing the New Secured Notes will be
contained in the Exit Credit Facility and will include customary
representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities.  In addition
to the perfected Liens under the First Lien Loan, the outstanding principal of,
and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Tranche A Notes, together with all other
amounts owed by Reorganized Aurora relating to the Tranche A Notes, shall also
be secured by first priority, perfected Liens in substantially all of the assets
of Reorganized Aurora (including any subsidiaries and Affiliates thereof, such
as Reorganized HPPC).  In addition to the perfected Liens under the
First Lien Loan, the outstanding principal (including all capitalized PIK
Interest) of, and accrued PIK Interest not yet capitalized and added to the
outstanding principal of, the Tranche B Notes, together with all other amounts
owed by Reorganized Aurora relating to the Tranche B Notes, shall also be
secured by perfected Liens (subordinate only to the Liens of the Tranche A Notes
and the Working Capital Loans of the Exit Credit Facility) in substantially all
of the assets of Reorganized Aurora (including any subsidiaries and Affiliates
thereof).  The security documents relating to the Liens of the Tranche
A Notes and Tranche B New Secured Notes shall contain customary terms and
conditions.

     

    (h)           A
holder of a New Secured Note or Working Capital Loan shall not be permitted to
assign all or any portion of its New Secured Notes or Working Capital Loans, as
applicable, to any Person or entity that is acting in the capacity of a “vulture
fund.”  The Exit Credit Facility Administrative Agent shall make the
determination whether or not a Person is acting in the capacity of a “vulture
fund” for this purpose.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -36-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    6.14.        New Aurora Class A Common
Stock.  On the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as is
practicable), Reorganized Aurora shall issue in accordance with the terms of the
Plan (including Sections 5.3 and 6.6 hereof), 56 million shares (in the
aggregate) of New Aurora Class A Common Stock to the Second Lien Loan
Administrative Agent for subsequent distribution on a Pro Rata basis to the
Holders of Allowed Second Lien Loan Claims (or such Holder’s affiliate, as
provided for in Plan Section 5.3(b)).  As of the Effective Date, such
56 million shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock to be so distributed shall
collectively represent 100% of the outstanding shares of New Aurora Class A
Common Stock (subject to dilution on a pari passu basis with all
other holders of shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock upon the issuance of
any shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
New Warrants or otherwise by Reorganized Aurora).  Upon the issuance
of such shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock (including, but not limited
to, upon the exercise of the New Warrants or otherwise), all such shares of New
Aurora Class A Common Stock shall be deemed fully paid and
nonassessable.

     

    6.15.        The New Aurora Preferred
Stock.

     

    
      (a)           On
the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), Reorganized Aurora
shall issue, in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including Sections 5.2
and 6.6 hereof), 32 million shares (in the aggregate) of the New Aurora
Preferred Stock to the First Lien Loan Administrative Agent for subsequent
distribution on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of Allowed First Lien Loan
Claims (or such Holder’s affiliate, as provided for in Plan Section
5.2(b)).  The New Aurora Preferred Stock issued on such date to each
such Holder shall, in the aggregate, represent, as of such date, 100% of the
outstanding shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock, subject to no dilution or
further issuance of any additional shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock except
as expressly provided under Plan Section 6.15(f).  Except
as provided by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and the Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, the shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock
shall be non-voting.

       

      

    

    
      (b)           The
New Aurora Preferred Stock shall have an initial liquidation preference of $1.00 per share of New
Aurora Preferred Stock, for an aggregate initial liquidation preference for all
shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock equal to approximately $32 million, and
shall rank senior in priority to the shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock
and the New Aurora Class B Common Stock and junior in priority to all
indebtedness of Reorganized Aurora.  To the extent then available, the
form of the New Aurora Preferred Stock shall be as set forth in the Plan
Supplement.

       

      

    

    (c)           Neither
Reorganized Aurora, nor any holders of New Aurora Class A Common Stock, shall be
permitted to approve, any of the following without the prior written approval of
holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock
outstanding:  (i) certain transactions (i.e., mergers or asset sales,
etc.); (ii) any changes to the rights, privileges, or preferences of the New
Aurora Preferred Stock; (iii) the incurrence by Reorganized Aurora of any
secured or unsecured indebtedness (other than indebtedness contemplated
hereunder); provided, however, that with
respect to unsecured indebtedness, no such approval shall be required to the
extent that such unsecured indebtedness is, in the aggregate, less than
$500,000; (iv) the issuance of any additional shares of New Aurora Preferred
Stock (other than as a dividend on outstanding shares), and the issuance of any
equity interests in Reorganized Aurora that would rank senior to, or pari passu with, the New
Aurora Preferred Stock as to liquidation preference or as to priority of
distributions; (v) any distributions on or redemptions of any shares of the New
Aurora Class A Common Stock or the New Aurora Class B Common Stock (other than
(A) those expressly permitted in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (B)
certain exceptions such as repurchases under employee benefit plans or
employment agreements, etc.); (vi) designation of additional directors of the
Board of Directors of Reorganized Aurora upon the occurrence of the Triggering
Event; and (vii) additional matters as reflected in the Plan Documents,
including without limitation, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
and the Amended and Restated By-Laws.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -37-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (d)           The
governing documents of the Reorganized Aurora shall contain customary provisions
entitling the holders of the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, the New Aurora
Class B Common Stock, and the New Aurora Preferred Stock to receive (i) periodic
financial statements, and (ii) reasonable access to the books and records of
Reorganized Aurora.

     

    (e)           The
New Aurora Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into New Aurora Class A
Common Stock, New Aurora Class B Common Stock, or any other equity security of
Reorganized Aurora.

     

    (f)           Dividends
shall accrue for each share of New Aurora Preferred Stock at a rate of 6%
annually on the amount of the liquidation preference for such New Aurora
Preferred Stock, payable solely in additional New Aurora Preferred Stock,
issuable quarterly.

     

    (g)           Each
share of New Aurora Preferred Stock shall be redeemable (i) on a mandatory
basis, on the date that is 60 months after the Effective Date; (ii) at the
option of the Reorganized Aurora, at any time prior to the redemption date in
clause (i) hereof; (iii) on a mandatory basis, upon the refinancing or the
payment in full of the obligations under the New Secured Notes; or (iv) on a
mandatory basis, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the New
Secured Notes, in each case under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, for
a Cash redemption price equal to the liquidation preference applicable to such
New Aurora Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (paid in Cash
based on the amount of the liquidation preference that would apply to the shares
of New Aurora Preferred Stock that would otherwise be issued to pay such accrued
and unpaid dividends); provided, however, that any
partial redemptions shall be made on a Pro Rata basis among the holders of the
New Aurora Preferred Stock.

     

    (h)           The
holders of the New Aurora Preferred Stock shall have no obligation thereunder to
make any capital contributions to any of the Reorganized Debtors.

     

    6.16.        Dividends to Preferred and Common
Equity Holders of Reorganized Aurora.  Any dividends (other
than dividends paid in additional shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock, which
shall only be issued to existing holders of New Aurora Preferred Stock) by
Reorganized Aurora to its respective equity security holders shall be allocated
as follows:

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -38-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (a)           Until
all shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock have been fully redeemed in accordance
with the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or have
received aggregate dividends equal to the aggregate liquidation preference plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, dividends to the respective equity
security holders of Reorganized Aurora shall be allocated as
follows:  (1) 90% to the holders of the New Aurora Preferred Stock and
(2) 10% to the holders of the New Aurora Class B Common Stock; and

     

    (b)           After
the full redemption of all outstanding shares of New Aurora Preferred Stock or
the payment of aggregate dividends to the New Aurora Preferred Stock equal to
the aggregate liquidation preference plus all accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, all dividends shall be allocated on a Pro Rata basis to the holders of
the New Aurora Class A Common Stock and the New Aurora Class B Common
Stock.

     

    6.17.        Management and Director Equity
Plan.  Following the Effective Date, the Management and
Director Equity Plan may be adopted by Reorganized Aurora.  The terms
and conditions of any Management and Director Equity Plan shall be determined by
the Board of Directors of Reorganized Aurora.  Shares of New Aurora
Class B Common Stock representing the equivalent of up to 10% of the shares of
New Aurora Class A Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis that are issued and
outstanding upon the Effective Date (not including any shares of New Aurora
Class A Common Stock or other such class of equity that would be issuable upon
the exercise of the New Warrants) shall be reserved for the issuance under any
Management and Director Equity Plan when the Management and Director Equity Plan
is adopted by Reorganized Aurora.

     

    6.18.        Registration Rights
Agreement.  Following the Effective Date, certain holders of
New Aurora Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to require the registration of
New Aurora Class A Common Stock under the Securities Act in accordance with the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.  The Registration Rights
Agreement shall be filed as part of the Plan Supplement and shall be executed
and delivered by Reorganized Aurora and become effective as of the Effective
Date.  The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement shall provide
that no registration rights thereunder may be exercised unless all shares of New
Aurora Preferred Stock have been fully redeemed.

     

    6.19.        Voting Agreement and the
Conversions.

     

    (a)           The
Voting Agreement shall:  (i) be filed as part of the Plan Supplement,
(ii) be executed and delivered by Reorganized Aurora, the initial holders of the
New Aurora Class A Common Stock, and the initial holders of New Aurora Preferred
Stock, and (iii) become effective as of the Effective Date.  Following
the Effective Date (and subject to Section 6.19(b) hereof), the holders of New
Aurora Preferred Stock and New Aurora Class A Common Stock shall take all the
appropriate corporate action to approve and effect the Utah Conversion and
Delaware Conversion and approve and execute the Reorganized Aurora Limited
Liability Company Agreement, all as contemplated by the Voting
Agreement.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the holders of the New Aurora
Preferred Stock and the holders of the New Aurora Class A Common Stock may
agree, after the Effective Date, not to undertake the Utah Conversion, the
Delaware Conversion, or any other conversion of Reorganized Aurora and to
instead keep and maintain the existence of Reorganized Aurora and the New Aurora
Preferred Stock, New Aurora Class A Common Stock, and New Aurora Class B Common
Stock issued in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof or otherwise
hereunder.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -39-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (c)           Notwithstanding
any such conversions, Reorganized Aurora shall be treated as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes, and shall take all other actions necessary or
desirable in furtherance of such treatment for federal income tax
purposes.

     

    6.20.        No Fractional Shares or
Warrants.  No fractional shares of New Aurora Class A Common
Stock or New Aurora Preferred Stock, or New Warrants to acquire any fractional
shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock, shall be issued or distributed under
the Plan or the Exit Credit Facility.  Whenever any distribution to a
particular Person would otherwise call for the distribution of a fraction of a
share of New Aurora Class A Common Stock or New Aurora Preferred Stock or of a
New Warrant to acquire any fractional share of New Aurora Class A Common Stock,
the actual distribution of shares of such stock or warrant shall be rounded down
to the next lower whole number.  The total number of shares of New
Aurora Class A Common Stock or New Aurora Preferred Stock or New Warrants to be
distributed to a Class of Claims or in connection with the Exit Credit Facility
(as applicable) shall be adjusted as necessary to account for this
rounding.  No consideration shall be provided in lieu of any
fractional shares of New Aurora Class A Common Stock, New Aurora Preferred
Stock, or New Warrants that are rounded down.

     

    6.21.       
Restrictions on
Transfer.

     

    (a)           For
a period of 25 months after the Effective Date, the New Aurora Preferred Stock
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, or assigned without the approval of the
holders of a majority of the New Aurora Class A Common Stock.  After
such 25-month period following the Effective Date, there shall be no
restrictions on the transfer of the New Aurora Preferred Stock other than with
respect to compliance with applicable laws.

     

    (b)           For
a period of 25 months after the Effective Date, the New Aurora Common Stock
may not be sold, transferred, pledged, or assigned without the approval of the
holders of a majority of the New Aurora Preferred Stock.  After such
25-month period following the Effective Date, there shall be no restrictions on
the transfer of the New Aurora Common Stock other than with respect to
compliance with applicable laws.

     

    6.22.        De Minimis
Distributions.  No Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, or any
disbursing agent or transfer agent retained by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Plan Section
6.5(b) shall distribute any Cash to the Holder of an Allowed Claim if the amount
of Cash to be distributed on account of such Claim is less than $5.  Any Holder of an
Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of Cash to be distributed is less
than $5 shall have its Claim and its
right to any such distribution discharged, and
shall be forever barred from asserting any such claim against, or
interest in, the Reorganized
Debtors or their respective property.  Any Cash not distributed
pursuant to this Section
6.22 shall be the property of the
Reorganized Debtors, free of any restrictions thereon, and any
such Cash held by any disbursing agent or transfer agent retained by the
Reorganized Debtors pursuant to
Plan Section 6.5(b) shall be returned to the Reorganized
Debtors.

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -40-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    6.23.        Withholding and Reporting
Requirements.  In connection with this Plan and all instruments
issued in connection herewith and distributed hereunder, the Debtors, the
Reorganized Debtors, any disbursing agent or
transfer agent retained by the Reorganized Debtors pursuant to Plan Section 6.5(b),
and the Administrative Agents, as the case may be, shall comply with all
applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state,
local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions under the Plan shall
be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements.

     

    6.24.        Non-Debtor Intercompany
Claims.  All Non-Debtor Intercompany Claims shall be reviewed
by the Reorganized Debtors and (without the need for any such entities to file a
Proof of Claim) adjusted, continued, or discharged as the Reorganized Debtors
determine as appropriate, taking into account, among other things, the
distribution of consideration under the Plan and the economic condition of the
Reorganized Debtors and their non-Debtor subsidiaries and
Affiliates.

     

    6.25.        Direction to
Parties.  From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized
Debtors may apply to the Bankruptcy Court for an order directing any necessary
party to execute or deliver or to join in the execution or delivery of any
instrument required to effect a transfer of property dealt with by the Plan, and
to perform any other act, including the satisfaction of any Lien, that is
necessary for the consummation of the Plan, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §
1142(b).

     

    6.26.        Setoffs.  The
Debtors shall, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 553, set off against any Allowed
Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such
Claim, all claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the Debtors
may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim that are not otherwise waived,
released, or compromised in accordance with the Plan; provided, however, that neither
the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim shall
constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors of any such claims, rights, and
Causes of Action that either of the Debtors may possess against such
Holder.

     

    6.27.        Waiver of Avoidance Claims;
Preservation of All Other Causes of Action.

     

    (a)           As
of and subject to the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ and the Estates’
Avoidance Claims other than those against (i) Frontier Energy, L.L.C. or (ii)
Lawson & Kidd, LLP or its principals or any related Person (solely to the
extent that the Lawson & Kidd Payment is not paid by Lawson & Kidd, LLP
on or prior to the Effective Date) shall be deemed to have been, and shall be,
released and/or waived, and all parties shall hereby be enjoined from
instituting and presenting in the name of the Debtors, or otherwise, any or all
proceedings in order to collect, assert, or enforce any such Avoidance Claim of
any kind; provided, however, that if the
Confirmation Order is vacated or revoked, all Avoidance Claims shall be deemed
reinstated automatically, with the same force and effect as if the Avoidance
Claims never had been released and/or waived hereunder, without the need for any
action to be taken by the Debtors or any other party.  In addition,
all parties shall hereby be enjoined from instituting and presenting in the name
of the Debtors or the Estates any objections to Claims under Bankruptcy Code §
502(d) on account of such released and waived Avoidance Claims.

     

    (b)           Except
as otherwise set forth in the Plan (including, without limitation, Article IX
and Section 6.27(a)
hereof), in accordance with Bankruptcy Code § 1123(b), as of the
Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all Causes of Action
(including, without limitation, actions that could be brought under Bankruptcy
Code § 542 or 543) other than with respect to any Avoidance Claims that are
waived, and shall have the power, subject to any applicable releases and/or
waivers contained in the Plan, (i) to institute and present in the name of the
Debtors, or otherwise, all proceedings that they may deem proper in order to
collect, assert, or enforce any claim, right, or title of any kind in or to
either of the Debtors’ Assets or to avoid any purported Lien, and (ii) to defend
and compromise any and all actions, suits, or proceedings in respect of such
Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the
event that the Lawson & Kidd Payment is not made by Lawson & Kidd, LLP
on or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall transfer to the Reorganized
Debtors all of their right, title, and interest to any and all claims or causes
of action that the Debtors or the Estates may have against Lawson & Kidd,
LLP or its principals or any related Person.

    6.28.        Special Provisions Regarding the
Treatment of Allowed Secondary Liability Claims.  The
classification and treatment of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall take into
consideration all Allowed Secondary Liability Claims.  On the
Effective Date, Allowed Secondary Liability Claims shall be treated as
follows:

     

    (a)           The
Allowed Secondary Liability Claims arising from or related to either Debtors'
joint or several liability for the obligations under any (a) Allowed Claim that
is being Reinstated under the Plan or (b) Executory Contract that is being
assumed or deemed assumed by the other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor shall be
Reinstated.

     

    (b)           Holders
of all other Allowed Secondary Liability Claims shall be entitled to only one
distribution from the Debtors, which distribution shall be as provided in the
Plan in respect of such underlying Allowed Claim, and which Allowed Secondary
Liability Claim (as well as the underlying Allowed Claim) shall be deemed
satisfied in full by the distributions on account of the related underlying
Allowed Claim.  No multiple recovery on account of any Allowed
Secondary Liability Claim (including, but not limited to, on account of any
Claim based on any of the Guarantees or any guarantee related to an Executory
Contract) shall be provided or permitted in excess of the Allowed
Claim.

     

    6.29.        Plan
Supplement.  The Plan Supplement shall be filed with the
Bankruptcy Court within the time established by the order of the Bankruptcy
Court approving the Disclosure Statement or other applicable order of the
Bankruptcy Court.  The Plan Supplement shall include (unless
previously filed or not then yet available) the respective draft forms of the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation; the Amended and Restated Bylaws;
the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement; the Registration Rights Agreement; the
Voting Agreement (to the extent applicable in accordance with Section 6.19(b)
hereof); and, to the extent then available, the draft forms of any documents
memorializing the New Warrants or the terms and conditions of the New Aurora
Preferred Stock, the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, or the New Aurora Class B
Common Stock.  The Debtors may also include in the Plan Supplement a
draft form of an Exit Credit Facility, the New Secured Notes, and the Working
Capital Loans Notes, but only if and to the extent that such drafts are
available as of the date of the filing of the Plan Supplement.  The
Plan Supplement may also include revised or updated lists of the Executory
Contracts identified as “to be rejected” under the Plan (if any).  The
draft forms, summaries, lists, and schedules so set forth in the Plan Supplement
may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time after the filing of
the Plan Supplement.  Upon its filing, the Plan Supplement may be
inspected in the office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court or its designee
during normal business hours.  Holders of Claims and Interests may
obtain a copy of the Plan Supplement upon written request to the Claims Agent or
through the Claims Agent’s website, http://www.donlinrecano.com/aurora, or
through the Bankruptcy Court’s website,

    6.30.        Allocation of
Distributions.  All distributions paid to Holders of Allowed
Claims in satisfaction thereof pursuant to this Plan shall be allocated first to
the original principal amounts of such Claims (as determined for federal income
tax purposes), and, second, to the portion of such Claims representing interest
(as determined for federal income tax purposes) and any excess thereafter shall
be allocated to the remaining portion of such Claims.

     

    6.31.        Distribution
Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
to the contrary, no distribution shall be made on account of any Claim, or part
thereof, (i) that is not an Allowed Claim or (ii) that has been avoided or is
subject to any objection.  The sum total of the value of the
distributions to be made on the Initial Distribution Date to all Claims in a
particular Class (if any) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Allowed
Claims in such Class (if any), and the distribution to be made to each
individual Holder of an Allowed Claim shall not exceed the amount of such
Holder’s Allowed Claim.

     

    6.32.        Limitations on Amounts to Be
Distributed to Holders of Allowed Insured
Claims.  Distributions under the Plan to each Holder of an
Allowed Insured Claim shall be in accordance with the treatment provided under
the Plan for the Class in which such Allowed Insured Claim is classified, but
solely to the extent that such Allowed Insured Claim is not satisfied from
proceeds payable to the
Holder thereof under any pertinent insurance policies and applicable law.  Nothing
in this Section 6.32 shall constitute a
waiver of any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts,
rights, Causes of Action, or liabilities that any entity may hold against the
Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ insurance carriers.

     

    6.33.        Distributions by Reorganized Aurora
of Proceeds from the Sale of Assets.  The net Cash proceeds
from the sale of any assets of the Reorganized Aurora, as well as any amount to
be paid (whether voluntary or involuntary), shall be applied as
follows:

     

    (a)           First,
to the Pro Rata payment of (i) all fees, costs, expenses and other obligations
payable to the administrative agent and the collateral agent, if any, under the
New Secured Notes and (ii) to the extent that the Working Capital Loans are
subscribed by at least one First Lien Loan Lender, all fees, costs, expenses and
other obligations payable to the Exit Credit Facility Administrative Agent and
the collateral agent, if any, under the Exit Credit Facility;

     

    (b)           Second,
to the Pro Rata payment of (i) the Tranche A Notes in the following order of
priority:  (A) accrued and unpaid interest, (B) principal amount
outstanding, and (C) any other obligation payable in respect of the Tranche A
Notes and (ii) to the extent that the Working Capital Loans are subscribed by at
least one First Lien Loan Lender, the Working Capital Loans in the following
order of priority:  (A) accrued and unpaid interest, (B) principal
amount outstanding, (C) premium in respect of the principal amount, and (D) any
other obligation payable in respect of the Working Capital Loans;

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -43-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (c)           Third,
to the extent that the Working Capital Loans are subscribed exclusively by the
Second Lien Loan Lenders, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and other
obligations payable to the Exit Credit Facility Administrative Agent, and any
collateral agent under the Exit Credit Facility;

     

    (d)           Fourth,
to the extent that the Working Capital Loans are subscribed exclusively by the
Second Lien Loan Lenders, to the payment of the Working Capital Loans in the
following order of priority:  (i) accrued and unpaid interest, (ii)
principal amount outstanding, (iii) premium in respect of the principal amount,
and (iv) any other obligation payable in respect of the Working Capital Loans;
and

     

    (e)           Fifth,
to the payment of the Tranche B Notes in the following order of
priority:  (i) accrued PIK Interest not yet capitalized and added to
the principal, (ii) principal amount outstanding (including capitalized and
added PIK Interest), and (iii) any other obligation payable in respect of the
Tranche B Notes.

     

    6.34.        Implementation of
Settlement.  The Plan incorporates and implements a compromise
and settlement reached by and among (i) the First Lien Loan Lenders and the
Second Lien Loan Lenders, (ii) the Creditors Committee, (iii) NW Bank, and (iv)
the Debtors.  Specifically, the distributions to be provided for in
the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 2A and Class 2B represent the
negotiated distributions as set forth in an agreement-in-principle reached
between the Debtors and the First Lien Loan Lenders and the Second Lien Loan
Lenders.  In addition, the distributions to be provided for in the
Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 2D, Class 3A, and Class 3B represent
the distributions negotiated with the Creditors Committee and NW Bank,
respectively.

     

    6.35.        “Change of Control”
Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may
be contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, any insurance policy, any of
the Credit Facilities, the NW Bank Agreements, any Executory Contract, or other
contract or agreement to which either of the Debtors is a party, the
transactions to be consummated in accordance with this Plan shall not create, or
be deemed to create, any claim or right in connection therewith, upon a “Change
of Control” or similar term, as such term may be defined or utilized
in any of the Credit Facilities, the NW Bank Agreements, or in any Executory
Contract, contract, or agreement to which either of the Debtors is a party;
provided, however, that to the
extent the Management Transition Services Agreements are not entered into by,
and binding upon, the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors, the “change of
control” provisions in the respective employment agreements of Rebecca Abbott,
Jeffrey Deneau, William Deneau, John Hunter, and Barbara  Lawson shall
not be affected, modified, or in any way impaired by this Section 6.36 of the
Plan.

     

    6.36.        United States Trustee’s
Fees.  The Reorganized Debtors shall be responsible for timely
payment of fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6).  After
confirmation of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall file with the Bankruptcy
Court and the United States Trustee a quarterly post-confirmation report, in the
format specified by the United States Trustee, for each quarter that these Cases
remain open.  The United States Trustee quarterly fee shall be
calculated on all disbursements made by the Reorganized Debtors, whether
pursuant to the Plan or not, until the Cases are closed, converted to Chapter 7,
or dismissed.  The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to
decide any post-confirmation dispute concerning such quarterly
fees.

    EXECUTORY
CONTRACTS

     

    7.1.           Assumption or Rejection of Executory
Contracts.  As of the Confirmation Date, but subject to the
occurrence of the Effective Date, all of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts
(including, without limitation, those Executory Contracts identified as “to be
assumed” on the list attached as Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, as such
list may be revised and included in the Plan Supplement or otherwise) shall be
deemed assumed by the applicable Debtors and retained by the applicable
Reorganized Debtors in accordance with the provisions and requirements of
Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123, except those Executory Contracts that (i) have
previously been rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) are the
subject of a motion to reject pending on the Confirmation Date, (iii) are
identified as “to be rejected” on the list attached as Exhibit E to the
Disclosure Statement (as such list may be revised and included in the Plan
Supplement or otherwise), or (iv) are otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms
of the Plan.  Rejection of the Executory Contracts at issue in clauses
(iii) and (iv) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective as of
the Confirmation Date, subject to the occurrence of the Effective
Date.  Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall
constitute approval of such assumptions and rejections (as applicable) pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365(a) and 1123, subject to the occurrence of the
Effective Date.  The listing of a document on either Exhibit D or
Exhibit E to the Disclosure Statement (as either such list may be revised and
included in the Plan Supplement or other otherwise) shall not constitute an
admission by the Debtors that such document is an executory contract or
unexpired lease or that the Debtors have any liability
thereunder.  Each Executory Contract assumed pursuant to this Article
VII shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the respective Reorganized
Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as may be modified by (i) the
provisions of the Plan, (ii) the Confirmation Order or any other applicable
order of the Bankruptcy Court approving and authorizing its assumption, or (iii)
applicable federal law.  The Debtors shall retain the right at all
times prior to the Effective Date to (a) assume any additional or other
Executory Contract(s) not specifically identified on the list thereof attached
as Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement (or as such list may be revised and
included in the Plan Supplement or otherwise) as “to be assumed” (including,
without limitation, any Executory Contracts currently identified on Exhibit E to
the Disclosure Statement as “to be rejected”), or (b) reject any additional or
other Executory Contract(s) not specifically identified on the list thereof
attached as Exhibit E to the Disclosure Statement (or as such list may be
revised and included in the Plan Supplement or otherwise) as “to be rejected”
(including, without limitation, any Executory Contracts currently identified on
Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement as “to be assumed”), in each case upon
providing notice to the non-Debtor party thereto.  Without limiting
the effect of this Plan Section 7.1, Exhibits D and E to the Disclosure
Statement contain schedules of all known Executory Contracts currently
anticipated to be either assumed or rejected under this Plan, respectively (as
such schedules may be revised and included in the Plan Supplement or otherwise),
subject to the Debtors’ right to determine at any time subsequently, on or prior
to the Effective Date, including, without limitation, as may be set forth in the
Plan Supplement, to either assume or reject any Executory Contracts or to
include additional Executory Contracts to be either (a) assumed under the Plan
or (b) rejected under the Plan, in each case upon providing notice to the
non-Debtor party thereto.

    7.2.           Cure of Defaults of Assumed Executory
Contracts.  Any monetary amounts by which each Executory
Contract to be assumed pursuant to the Plan is in default shall be satisfied,
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365(b)(1), by payment of any default amount (as
such amount has been agreed upon by the Reorganized Debtors or, in the event of
a dispute regarding such default amount, as such amount has been determined by
an order of the Bankruptcy Court) in Cash by the latest of (i) the Effective
Date (or as soon thereafter as is practicable), (ii) in the event of a dispute
regarding the default amount, within 30 days of the entry of an order of the
Bankruptcy Court establishing such default amount, (iii) the date of an order of
the Bankruptcy Court (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) approving and
authorizing the assumption or assignment of an Executory Contract not otherwise
assumed or rejected pursuant to the terms of the Plan, or (iv) on such other
terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts may otherwise
agree.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a dispute
regarding:  (1) the amount of any cure payments, (2) the ability of
the Reorganized Debtors to provide “adequate assurance of future performance”
(within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code § 365) under the contract or lease to be
assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption (each an “Assumption Dispute”), the cure
payments required by Bankruptcy Code § 365(b)(1) shall be made following the
entry of a Final Order resolving the Assumption Dispute and approving the
assumption; provided, however, that (a) in
the event the Bankruptcy Court determines that the actual cure payment owed to a
particular non-Debtor party to an Executory Contract exceeds the proposed cure
amount as set forth in the notice to be provided by the Debtors pursuant to
Section 7.3 hereof and as set forth on Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement, or
(b) the Debtors and the applicable non-Debtor party involved in any Assumption
Dispute cannot otherwise consensually resolve such Assumption Dispute prior to
the Effective Date, the Debtors may reject the Executory Contract at issue
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365 rather than paying the disputed cure amount,
by presenting a proposed order to the Bankruptcy Court for such rejection,
without any other or further notice.  In the event any Executory
Contract is so rejected, the non-Debtor party thereto shall be entitled to file
a Proof of Claim pursuant to Plan Section 7.4, which Claim shall be classified
pursuant to Plan Section 7.5, but shall not be entitled to any other or further
Claim or relief from either of the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors.

     

    7.3.           Notice of Proposed Cure Amount and
Objection Deadline.  The Debtors shall provide notice to the
non-Debtor party to all known Executory Contracts to be assumed of (i) the
proposed default amount owed (if any) under the applicable Executory Contract
and (ii) the last date by which such non-Debtor party may file an objection or
other response with respect to such proposed default amount.  Any non-Debtor party that fails to
object or otherwise respond in a timely manner to such notice of the proposed
default amount owed shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed amount
and to the proposed assumption by the Debtors of the applicable Executory
Contract, and may not receive any other or additional distribution or
consideration from the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, or the
Assets, or otherwise seek recourse against, the Debtors, the Estates, the
Reorganized Debtors, or any of the Assets that are to be distributed under the
terms of the Plan, beyond such proposed amount owed.

     

    7.4.           Rejection Claims.

     

    (a)           Each
non-Debtor party to any Executory Contract rejected under and pursuant to this
Article VII shall be entitled to file, not later than 30 days after the entry of
the Confirmation Order (the “Plan Rejection Bar Date”), a
Proof of Claim against the applicable Debtor for alleged Rejection
Claims.  If no such Proof of Claim for a Rejection Claim is timely
filed against the applicable Debtor, any such Claim shall be forever barred and
shall not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their
respective Estates or Assets.  Objections to any such Proof of Claim
shall be filed not later than 90 days after such Proof of Claim is filed
(subject to any potential further extensions of such date as so ordered and
approved by the Bankruptcy Court), and the Bankruptcy Court shall decide any
such objections.  Distributions (if any) in respect of such Claims (consistent with the
distributions to be received by Holders of other Claims in the Class into which
such Claims fall, as determined by Section 7.5 hereof) shall be made not earlier
than the later of (a) 30 days after the expiration of the 90-day period (as such period may be
extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court) for filing an objection in respect of
any Proof of Claim filed pursuant to this Section 7.4 and
(b) 30 days after the Claim has been Allowed by a Final Order of the
Bankruptcy Court, provided that no such distribution shall be made before the
Effective Date.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -46-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Plan Rejection Bar Date shall apply only to
Rejection Claims with respect to those Executory Contracts that are rejected
under and pursuant to the Plan.  Any Holder of a Rejection Claim for
an Executory Contract that is not rejected pursuant to this Plan, but whose
Rejection Claim instead arises under an Executory Contract that either has
already been rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a
separate motion to reject pending on the Confirmation Date, must file a Proof of
Claim for such Rejection Claim by the date provided in any order relating to
such Rejection Claim.

     

    7.5.           Classification of Rejection
Claims.  Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, any
Rejection Claims (a) against Aurora shall be treated as Class 3A Claims and (b)
against HPPC shall be treated as Class 3B Claims, in each instance to the extent
they are Allowed Claims.

     

    7.6.           Reinstatement of Allowed Secondary
Liability Claims Arising From or Related to Executory Contracts Assumed by the
Debtors.  On the Effective Date, in accordance with Section
6.28 hereof, any Allowed Secondary Liability Claim arising from or related to
either Debtor’s joint or several liability for the obligations under or with
respect to:  (a) any Executory Contract that is being assumed or
deemed assumed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 365 by the other Debtor or
Reorganized Debtor or (b) a Reinstated Claim shall be
Reinstated.  Accordingly, such Allowed Secondary Liability Claims
shall survive and be unaffected by the entry of the Confirmation
Order.

     

    7.7.           Insurance
Policies.

     

    (a)           All
insurance policies of the Debtors (including, without limitation, the Directors
& Officers Liability Insurance Policies) providing coverage to the Debtors
and/or the Debtors’ current or former directors, officers, stockholders, agents,
employees, representatives, predecessors, and others for conduct in connection
in any way with the Debtors, their assets, liabilities, and/or operations, to
the extent such policies are Executory Contracts, shall be deemed assumed by the
applicable Debtors as of the Confirmation Date.  Entry of the
Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such
assumptions pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 and 1123 or
otherwise.  Each insurance policy assumed pursuant to this Article VII
shall revest in, and be fully enforceable by, the respective Reorganized Debtor
in accordance with its terms, except as may be modified by (i) the provisions of
the Plan, (ii) any order of the Bankruptcy Court approving and authorizing its
assumption, or (iii) applicable federal law.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -47-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (b)           Notwithstanding
anything provided herein to the contrary, the Plan shall not be deemed in any
way to diminish or impair the enforceability of any insurance policies that may
cover claims against either of the Debtors and/or the Debtors’ current or former
directors, officers, stockholders, agents, employees, representatives,
predecessors or any other Person (including, without limitation, the Directors
& Officers Liability Insurance Policies).  Any failure by the
Debtors to list any particular insurance policy on any schedule of Executory
Contracts to be assumed under the Plan the Debtors may file in these Cases
(either contained in the Disclosure Statement, including, without limitation,
Exhibit D thereto, the Plan Supplement, or otherwise) shall not in any way
impair the Debtors’ ability to assume such policy, and instead, any and all such
policies shall still be assumed in accordance with this Section
7.7.

     

    7.8.           Existing Stock Option
Plans.  Subject to the Plan’s becoming effective on the
Effective Date pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof, the Existing Stock Option Plans
shall not be assumed by Reorganized Aurora on the Effective Date, but shall
instead be cancelled and deemed terminated and of no force and effect as of the
Effective Date.

     

    7.9.           Oil and Gas
Leases.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
Debtors' oil and gas leases shall not constitute nor be considered executory
contracts or unexpired leases under Bankruptcy Code §§ 365 or 1123 for any
purpose under this Plan or otherwise in connection with these
Cases.  Any Claims asserted under these oil and gas leases that arose
as of the Petition Date shall constitute Class 3A Claims, and any such Claims
that arose after the Petition Date shall constitute Administrative Claims, and
in each instance shall be subject to all rights, defenses, and potential
disputes and objections of the Debtors with respect thereto.

     

    7.10.        
Executory Contracts Entered
Into After the Petition Date.  Executory Contracts entered into
after the Petition Date by either Debtor (including the Management Transition
Services Agreements) may be performed by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor
liable thereunder in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of
such Executory Contract(s) in the ordinary course of
business.  Accordingly, such Executory Contracts shall survive and
remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

    (f)           all

    If the
Effective Date (i) does not occur for any reason within 90 days following the
entry of the Confirmation Order, unless such time period is extended by the
Debtors with the consent of the Administrative Agents, or (ii) if on or before
90 days following the entry of the Confirmation Order, either (a) the Debtors
determine, or (b) the Bankruptcy Court determines in a Final Order, that one or
more of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Plan Section 8.2 will not
be satisfied within such 90-day period, then the Plan and the Confirmation Order
shall immediately, upon such applicable date, be deemed null and void and, in
such event, nothing contained herein or therein shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtors
or any other Person or to prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or
any Person in any further proceedings (whether or not such proceedings involve
either of the Debtors).  If the Confirmation Order is reversed,
vacated, or revoked on appeal or otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the Plan shall be null and void ab initio in all respects,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in the
Plan or the Disclosure Statement shall:  (i) constitute a waiver or
release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtors; (ii)
prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors; (iii) constitute an
admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking by the Debtors in any respect;
or (iv) affect or impair, in any way, any and all Claims against the Debtors,
any and all claimed contractual subordination rights and claims between or among
the Holders of Claims against the Debtors, and any and all rights and claims
between or among holders of Claims relating in any manner to distributions on
account of Claims against the Debtors based upon any claimed contractual
subordination rights.

     

    8.3.           Waiver or Modification of
Conditions.  The Debtors may with the consent of the
Administrative Agents, but shall have no obligation to, waive or modify in
writing, at any time, any of the conditions set forth in this Article VIII,
without notice, without leave of or order of the Bankruptcy Court, and without
any formal action other than proceeding to consummate the Plan.  The
failure to (a) satisfy or (b) waive or modify any such condition may be asserted
by the Debtors regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the failure of
such conditions to be (a) satisfied or (b) waived or modified.

Property.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the
Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, but retroactive to the Confirmation

entities with all the powers of corporations and/or limited liability companies
(as applicable) under applicable law and without prejudice to any right to alter
or terminate such existence (whether by merger or otherwise) under applicable
state law, and (b) all Assets of the respective Debtors (including, but not
limited to, Aurora’s equity interests in HPPC and the Debtors’ respective

applicable Debtor’s electing to (A) pay the amount of such Allowed Class 2C
Claim in full, (B) return the underlying collateral to such Class 2C Creditor,
or (C) otherwise satisfy such Allowed Claim in a manner provided for under
Section 4.3 of the Plan), or (2) the NW Bank LCs Collateral (subject to the

in complete exchange for, and in full and unconditional settlement,
satisfaction, discharge, and release of, any and all existing debts, Claims, and
Interests of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever against the Debtors or
any of the Debtors’ Assets or other property, and shall effect a full and
complete release, discharge, and termination of all Liens, security interests,
or other Claims, interests, or encumbrances upon all of the Debtors’ Assets and
property.  No Creditor or Interest Holder of the Debtors nor any other
Person may receive any distribution from the Debtors, the Estates, the
Reorganized Debtors, or the Assets, or seek recourse against, the Debtors, the
Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of the Assets that are to be
distributed under the terms of the Plan, except for those distributions
expressly provided for under the Plan.  All Persons are precluded from
asserting, against any property that is to be distributed under the terms of the
Plan, any Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, Causes of Action, liabilities,
or equity interests based upon any act, omission, transaction, or other activity
of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Confirmation Date, other than

(a) a Proof of Claim or Proof of Interest based upon such debt or Interest (as
applicable) is filed or deemed filed under Bankruptcy Code § 501; (b) a Claim or
Interest based upon such debt or Interest (as applicable) is allowed under
Bankruptcy Code § 502; or (c) the Holder of a Claim or Interest based upon such

under the terms and conditions of the Plan, all Holders of Claims and Interests
arising prior to the Effective Date shall be permanently barred and enjoined
from asserting against the Debtors, the Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their
successors, or the Assets, any of the following actions on account of such Claim
or Interest: (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other
proceeding on account of such Claim or Interest against property to be
distributed under the terms of the Plan, other than to enforce any right to
distribution with respect to such property under the Plan; (b) enforcing,
attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree,
or order against any of the property to be distributed under the terms of the
Plan, other than as permitted under subclause (a) above; (c) creating,
perfecting, or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance against any property to be

property of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, or any direct or indirect
transferee of any property of, or successor in interest to, any of the foregoing
Persons; and (e) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever,
that does not conform to, or comply with, the provisions of the

    9.3.           No Waiver of
Discharge.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,

discharge granted to the Debtors upon Confirmation of the Plan by Bankruptcy
Code § 1141.

     

    9.4.           Post-Consummation Effect of Evidences
of Claims or Interests.  Except as otherwise expressly set

(including, without limitation, Plan Sections 4.5 and 6.2), any and all notes,
stock certificates, and/or other evidences of Claims against, or
Interests in, either of the
Debtors shall, effective upon the Effective Date, represent only the

    (a)           Except

Releasing Party, in consideration of the obligations of the Debtors and the
Reorganized Debtors under the Plan and the Cash, the New Aurora Preferred Stock,
the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, the Exit Credit Facility (including the New

of the Released Parties to facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the
Debtors and the implementation of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and
(ii) certain of the Released Parties’ agreeing to have their claims under their
change-of-control agreements treated in the manner set forth in the Management
Transition Services Agreements and/or making the Lawson & Kidd Payment (as
applicable), shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally,
irrevocably, and forever released and discharged the Released Parties from any
and all claims, obligations, rights, Causes of Action, or liabilities
(including, but not limited to, any claims arising out of, or relating to, any
alleged fiduciary or other duty; any alleged violation of any federal or state
securities law or any other law relating to creditors’ rights generally; any of
the Released Parties’ or the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties’ ownership of any
securities of either of the Debtors; or any derivative claims asserted on behalf
of a Debtor), whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured
or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter

had, now has, or may have that are based in whole or in part on any act,
omission, transaction, or occurrence from the beginning of time through and
including the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, these Cases and
the commencement thereof, or the Plan; the Disclosure Statement; the Plan

matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest
of such Non-Debtor Releasing Party, any security previously issued by either of
the Debtors, and any and all claims based upon or arising out of such actions or
omissions shall be forever and completely waived and released by the Non-Debtor
Releasing Parties; provided, however, this Section
9.6(a) shall not release, and the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties do not waive the
right to enforce, the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ duties, obligations,
covenants, and agreements under (a) the Plan, (b) any settlement agreement
approved by the Bankruptcy Court in these Cases, (c) the Assumed Contracts, or
(d) the Plan Documents to be delivered under the Plan; provided further, however, that the
release set forth in this Section 9.6(a) is in addition to the discharge of
Claims and termination of Interests provided in this Plan and under the
Confirmation Order and the Bankruptcy Code; and provided further, however, that nothing
in this Section 9.6(a) shall be deemed to assert or imply any admission of
liability on the part of any of the Released Parties.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lawson & Kidd Payment, to the
extent actually made on or prior to the Effective Date, shall be in full
settlement of any and all claims or causes of action that the Debtors, the
Estates, or any Non-Debtor Releasing Parties may have against Lawson & Kidd,
LLP or its principals or any other related Person; in the event the Lawson &
Kidd Payment is not made by Lawson & Kidd, LLP on or prior to the Effective
Date, the releases provided for in Article IX of this Plan shall not apply to
Lawson & Kidd, LLP or its principals or any related Person.

    (b)           All
Non-Debtor Releasing Parties shall be forever precluded from asserting any of
the claims released pursuant to this Section 9.6 against any of the Released
Parties or any of the Released Parties’ respective assets; and to the extent
that any Non-Debtor Releasing Party receives monetary damages from any Released
Party on account of any claim released pursuant to this Section 9.6, such
Non-Debtor Releasing Party hereby assigns all of its right, title, and interest
in and to such recovery to the Released Parties against whom such money is
recovered.

     

    (c)           Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the releases contained in this
Section 9.6 shall not be construed as, or operate as a release of, or limitation
on (i) any claims by the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties against the Released
Parties that do not relate to or involve the Debtors or these Cases, (ii) any
claims, obligations, rights, causes of action, or liabilities by the Non-Debtor
Releasing Parties against the Released Parties arising out of any action or
omission to the extent that such action or omission is determined in a Final

misconduct or fraud, or (iii) objections to Claims.

agreements, and documents to be executed and delivered in connection with the
Plan, and in consideration of (i) the efforts of the Released Parties to
facilitate the expeditious reorganization of the Debtors and the implementation
of the restructuring contemplated by the Plan and (ii) certain of the Released
Parties’ agreeing to have their claims under their change-of-control agreements
treated in the manner set forth in the Management Transition Services Agreements
and/or making the Lawson & Kidd Payment (as applicable), shall be deemed to
have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever
released and discharged the Released Parties from any and all claims,
obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of
Action, and liabilities, whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or
contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, then
existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that such Debtor
Releasing Party ever had, now has, or may have that are based in whole or in
part on any act, omission, transaction, or occurrence taking place on or prior
to the Effective Date in any way relating to the Debtors, these Cases and the
Commencement thereof, or the Plan; the Disclosure Statement; the Plan Documents;
the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, implementation, and/or
administration of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Plan Documents;
the confirmation and consummation of the Plan; the subject matter of, or the
transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest of such Debtor
Releasing Party, or any security previously issued by either of the
Debtors.  The immediately preceding sentence shall not, however, apply
to (i) any indebtedness of any Person to either of the Debtors for money
borrowed by such Person or any other contractual obligation of any Person to
either of the Debtors, or (ii) any setoff or counterclaim that the Debtors may
have or assert against any Person, provided that the aggregate amount thereof
shall not exceed the aggregate amount of any Claims held or asserted by such
Person against the Debtors.  Holders of Claims and
Interests against either of the Debtors shall be enjoined
from commencing or continuing any action, employment of process, or act to
collect, offset, or recover any such claim that could be
brought on behalf of or in the name of the Debtors.

    9.8.           Injunction Related to
Releases.  The Confirmation Order will and
shall be deemed to permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any
Person, whether directly, derivatively, or otherwise, of any claims,
obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of
Action, or liabilities released pursuant to the Plan (including the releases set
forth in this Article IX).

     

    9.9.           Exculpation.  No Released Party shall have or
incur, and each Released Party hereby is exculpated from, any liability to any
Person for any act taken or not taken or any omission in connection with,
arising from or relating to these Cases (and the commencement or administration
thereof); the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, or the formulation, negotiation,
preparation, dissemination, implementation, or administration of any of the
foregoing documents; the solicitation of votes in connection with Confirmation

other act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or in contemplation
of, any of the restructuring or other transactions contemplated by this Plan;
and the property to be distributed or otherwise transferred under this
Plan; provided further, however, that nothing in this Plan Section
9.9 shall release any
entity from any claims, obligations, rights, causes of action, or liabilities arising out of such
entity’s fraud or willful misconduct.  Each Released Party
shall be entitled reasonably to rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to
its duties and responsibilities under this Plan, and shall be fully protected in
acting or refraining from acting in accordance with such
advice.

    The
Debtors hereby reserve the right to request that the Bankruptcy Court confirm

and (b) with respect to (i) the rejecting Classes and (ii) any other Classes
adversely affected by the modifications caused by this Article X.  In
particular, the treatment of any rejecting Classes or adversely affected Classes

of Bankruptcy Code § 1129(a) and (b).  These modifications may
include, but shall not be limited to, cancellation of all amounts otherwise
payable under the Plan to the rejecting Classes and to any junior Classes
affected thereby (even if such Classes previously accepted the Plan) consistent
with Bankruptcy Code § 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) and (C)(ii).

respect to such matter.

     

    
      ARTICLE
XIII

       

      MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS

    

     

    13.1.        Governing
Law.  Except to the extent the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy
Rules are applicable, and subject to the provisions of the Plan Documents and
any other contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or
document entered into in connection with the Plan, the rights and obligations
arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.

     

    13.2.        Revocation or Withdrawal of the
Plan.  The Debtors have the right to revoke or withdraw the
Plan prior to the Confirmation Date.  If the Debtors do so revoke or
withdraw the Plan, then the Plan shall be null and void and, in such event,
nothing contained herein shall be deemed to (a) constitute a waiver or release
of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtors or any other
Person or (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any Person in
any further proceedings involving either of the Debtors.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -57-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    13.3.        Successors and
Assigns.  The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Person
named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the
benefit of, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns of such
Person.

     

    13.4.        Time.  In computing
any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, the provisions of
Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a) shall apply, and, among other things, the day of the
act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run
shall not be included.  The last day of the period so computed shall
be included, unless it is not a Business Day or, when the act to be done is the
filing of a paper in court, a day on which weather or other conditions have made
the clerk’s office inaccessible, in which event the period runs until the end of
the next day which is not one of the aforementioned days.  When the
period of time prescribed or allowed is less than eight calendar days,
intermediate days that are not Business Days shall be excluded in the
computation.

     

    13.5.        Modification of the Plan Prior to or
After the Entry of the Confirmation Order.  The Debtors reserve
the right to alter, amend, or modify the Plan prior to or after the entry of the
Confirmation Order.  After the entry of the Confirmation Order, the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, upon order of the
Bankruptcy Court, may amend or modify the Plan in accordance with Bankruptcy
Code § 1127.

     

    13.6.        No Penalty or Late
Charges.  Except as expressly stated in the Plan, or allowed by
a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, no penalty or late charge is to be
allowed on any Claim subsequent to the Petition Date.

     

    13.7.        Professional Fees. No
Professional Fees shall be paid with respect to any Claim or Interest except as
specified herein or as allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy
Court.  All final applications for Professional Fees for services
rendered in connection with these Cases prior to and including the Confirmation
Date shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court not later than 90 days after the
Effective Date.

     

    13.8.        Amounts of Claims. All
references to Claims and amounts of Claims refer to the amount of the Claim
allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or by the Plan; provided, however, that Claims
that have been objected to and that have not been allowed or disallowed prior to
the day set for return of Ballots shall be voted and counted, if at all, at
$0.  The Debtors and other interested parties reserve the right, both
before and after Confirmation, to object to Claims so as to have the Bankruptcy
Court determine or estimate the Allowed amount of such Claim under the
Plan.

     

    13.9.        Deletion of Certain
Classes.  Any Class that is not occupied as of the date of the
commencement of the hearing conducted by the Bankruptcy Court to consider the
proposed Confirmation of the Plan by an Allowed Claim, or a Claim temporarily
allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, shall be deemed deleted from the Plan for
all purposes.

     

    13.10.      Bankruptcy Code § 1145 and Other
Exemptions.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1145(a)(1), the
issuance of any securities under the Plan, including, without limitation, the
New Aurora Preferred Stock, the New Aurora Class A Common Stock, and the New
Secured Notes, to the extent any of the foregoing constitute “securities” under
applicable law, shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and any state or local laws requiring registration for the offer
or sale of securities.  All such securities, when issued or sold,
shall be freely transferable by the recipients thereof, subject
to:  (i) the provisions of Bankruptcy Code § 1145(b) relating to
“underwriters,” as defined therein, (ii) any restrictions contained in the terms
of the securities themselves; or (iii) any restrictions on the securities that
have been agreed to by the Holder of the securities with respect
thereto.  Any securities to be issued under the Plan shall be issued
without further act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or
rule.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D of the Securities Act, Rule 701
promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise, the issuance of any shares
of the New Aurora Common Stock or other equity securities of Reorganized Aurora
in connection with the exercise of the New Warrants or pursuant to the
Management and Director Equity Plan shall be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and any state or local laws requiring
registration for the sale of securities.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -58-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    13.11.      Bankruptcy Code § 1146(a)
Exemption.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1146(a), the
issuance, transfer, or exchange of any security under the Plan; the making or
delivery of any instrument of transfer pursuant to, in implementation of, or as
contemplated by the Plan; and the revesting, transfer, assignment, or sale of
any real or personal property of either of the Debtors pursuant to, in
implementation of, or as contemplated by the Plan shall not be taxed under any
state or local law imposing a stamp tax, transfer tax, or similar tax or
fee.

     

    13.12.      Applicability of Bankruptcy Code §
1125.  The protection afforded by Bankruptcy Code § 1125(e)
with regard to the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan and
with regard to the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of the New Aurora
Preferred Stock, the New Aurora Class A Common Stock (including any and all
shares of common equity of Reorganized Aurora issued upon the exercise of the
New Warrants), the New Aurora Class B Common Stock, the New Warrants, the New
Secured Notes, the Working Capital Loans Notes, and/or any other securities or
notes issued in connection with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or a Plan
Document, shall apply to the fullest extent provided by law, and the entry of
the Confirmation Order shall constitute the determination by the Bankruptcy
Court that the Debtors, the DIP Facility Lenders, the Creditors Committee, the
First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Loan Lenders, the Administrative
Agents, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
members, agents, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, investment bankers,
dealer-managers, placement agents, and other professionals, shall have acted in
good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 1125(e) and, therefore, are not liable on
account of such solicitation or participation, for violation of any applicable
law, rule, or regulation governing solicitation of acceptance or rejection of a
plan or the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities.

     

    13.13.      Substantial
Consummation.  On the Effective Date, the Plan shall be deemed
to be substantially consummated under Bankruptcy Code §§ 1101 and
1127(b).

     

    13.14.      Rules of
Interpretation.

     

    (a)           For
purposes of the Plan:  (i) whenever from the context it is
appropriate, each term, whether stated in the singular or the plural, shall
include both the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine,
feminine, or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine, and the neuter
gender; (ii) any reference in the Plan to a contract, instrument, release,
indenture, or other agreement or document being in a particular form or on
particular terms and conditions means that such document shall be substantially
in such from or substantially on such terms and conditions; (iii) any reference
in the Plan to an existing document or exhibit filed, or to be filed, shall mean
such document or exhibit, as it may have been or may be amended, modified, or
supplemented in accordance with its terms; (iv) unless otherwise specified, all
references in the Plan to Sections, Articles, and Exhibits are references to
Sections, Articles, and Exhibits of or to the Plan; (v) the words “herein” and
“hereto” refer to the Plan in its entirety rather than to a particular portion
of the Plan; (vi) captions and headings and references to Articles and Sections
are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part
of or to affect the interpretation of the Plan; (vii) the terms “including,”
“including, but not limited to,” and “including, without limitation,” shall be
deemed interchangeable and given the same interpretation; and (viii) the rules
of construction set forth in Bankruptcy Code § 102 shall apply.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          -59-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    (b)           This
Plan is the product of extensive discussions and negotiations between and among
the Debtors, the First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien Loan Lenders, the DIP
Facility Lenders, the Exit Credit Facility Lenders, and the Administrative
Agents.  Each of the foregoing was represented by counsel who either
(i) participated in the formulation and documentation of, or (ii) was afforded
the opportunity to review and provide comments on, the Plan, the Disclosure
Statement, the Plan Documents, and any other documents ancillary
thereto.  Accordingly, the general rule of contract construction known
as “contra preferentem”
shall not apply to the construction or interpretation of any provision of this
Plan, the Disclosure Statement, any of the Plan Documents, or the Confirmation
Order.

     

    13.15.      Severability.  Except
as to terms which, if unenforceable, would frustrate the overall purposes of
this Plan, should any provision in the Plan be determined to be unenforceable,
such determination shall in no way limit or affect the enforceability and
operative effect of any or all other provisions of the Plan.

     

    13.16.      Implementation.  The
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the First Lien Loan Lenders, the Second Lien
Loan Lenders, the Administrative Agents, the DIP Facility Lenders, the Creditors
Committee and any other Committee, and any and all Exit Credit Facility Lenders,
shall take all steps, and execute all documents, including appropriate releases
and certificates, reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
provisions contained in this Plan.

     

    13.17.      Inconsistency.  In
the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and the Disclosure Statement,
the provisions of the Plan shall govern; in the event of any inconsistency
between the Plan or the Confirmation Order and any Plan Document, the provisions
of such Plan Document shall govern (except to the extent of any such
inconsistencies that are adverse to the Debtors, the Estates, or the Reorganized
Debtors, in which case the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as applicable, shall
govern).

     

    13.18.      Service of
Documents.  Any pleading, notice or other document required by
the Plan to be served on or delivered to the following parties shall be sent by
first class U.S. mail, postage prepaid to:
