Section 2.4 Non-Assignability. 

(a) If any Contract, Transferred Equity Interest (or any interest therein), 

Permit or other asset, which by the terms of this Agreement, is intended to be included in 

the Purchased Assets is determined not capable of being assigned or transferred (whether 

pursuant to Sections 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) to Purchaser at the Closing 

without the consent of another party thereto, the issuer thereof or any third party 

(including a Governmental Authority) (“Non-Assignable Assets”), this Agreement shall 

not constitute an assignment thereof, or an attempted assignment thereof, unless and until 

any such consent is obtained. Subject to Section 6.3, Sellers shall use reasonable best 

efforts, and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Sellers, to obtain 

the consents necessary to assign to Purchaser the Non-Assignable Assets before, at or 

after the Closing; provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall be required 

to make any expenditure, incur any Liability, agree to any modification to any Contract 

or forego or alter any rights in connection with such efforts. 

(b) To the extent that the consents referred to in Section 2.4(a) are not 

obtained by Sellers, except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Documents to which 

one or more Sellers is a party, Sellers’ sole responsibility with respect to such 

Non-Assignable Assets shall be to use reasonable best efforts, at no cost to Sellers, to (i) 

provide to Purchaser the benefits of any Non-Assignable Assets; (ii) cooperate in any 
 -33- 

reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide the benefits of any 

Non-Assignable Assets to Purchaser without incurring any financial obligation to 

Purchaser; and (iii) enforce for the account of Purchaser and at the cost of Purchaser any 

rights of Sellers arising from any Non-Assignable Asset against such party or parties 

thereto; provided, however, that any such efforts described in clauses (i) through (iii) 

above shall be made only with the consent, and at the direction, of Purchaser. Without 

limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any Non-Assignable Asset that is 

a Contract of Leased Real Property for which a consent is not obtained on or prior to the 

Closing Date, Purchaser shall enter into a sublease containing the same terms and 

conditions as such lease (unless such lease by its terms prohibits such subleasing 

arrangement), and entry into and compliance with such sublease shall satisfy the 

obligations of the Parties under this Section 2.4(b) until such consent is obtained. 

(c) If Purchaser is provided the benefits of any Non-Assignable Asset 

pursuant to Section 2.4(b), Purchaser shall perform, on behalf of the applicable Seller, 

for the benefit of the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto, the obligations 

(including payment obligations) of the applicable Seller thereunder or in connection 

therewith arising from and after the Closing Date and if Purchaser fails to perform to the 

extent required herein, Sellers, without waiving any rights or remedies that they may 

have under this Agreement or applicable Laws, may (i) suspend their performance under 

Section 2.4(b) in respect of the Non-Assignable Asset that is the subject of such failure to 

perform unless and until such situation is remedied, or (ii) perform at Purchaser’s sole 

cost and expense, in which case, Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers’ costs and expenses of 

such performance immediately upon receipt of an invoice therefor. To the extent that 

Purchaser is provided the benefits of any Non-Assignable Asset pursuant to Section 

2.4(b), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from and against any 

and all Liabilities relating to such Non-Assignable Asset and arising from and after the 

Closing Date (other than such Damages that have resulted from the gross negligence or 

willful misconduct of Sellers). 

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the inability of any Contract, Transferred 

Equity Interest (or any other interest therein), Permit or other asset, which by the terms of 

this Agreement is intended to be included in the Purchased Assets to be assigned or 

transferred to Purchaser at the Closing shall not (i) give rise to a basis for termination of 

this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII or (ii) give rise to any right to any 

adjustment to the Purchase Price. 

ARTICLE III 

CLOSING; PURCHASE PRICE 

Section 3.1 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this 

Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the date that falls at least three (3) Business Days 

following the satisfaction and/or waiver of all conditions to the Closing set forth in 

ARTICLE VII (other than any of such conditions that by its nature is to be satisfied at the 

Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or on such other date as the 

Parties mutually agree, at the offices of Jenner & Block LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York City, 

New York 10022-3908, or at such other place or such other date as the Parties may agree in 
 -34- 

writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to as the “Closing 

Date,” and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Closing shall for all purposes be 

deemed effective as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. 

Section 3.2 Purchase Price. 

(a) The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to the sum of: 

(i) a Bankruptcy Code Section 363(k) credit bid in an amount equal 

to: (A) the amount of Indebtedness of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the 

Closing pursuant to the UST Credit Facilities, and (B) the amount of Indebtedness 

of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing under the DIP Facility, less

$8,022,488,605 of Indebtedness under the DIP Facility (such amount, the “UST 

Credit Bid Amount”); 

(ii) the UST Warrant (which the Parties agree has a value of no less 

than $1,000); 

(iii) the valid issuance by Purchaser to Parent of (A) 50,000,000 shares 

of Common Stock (collectively, the “Parent Shares”) and (B) the Parent Warrants; 

and 

(iv) the assumption by Purchaser or its designated Subsidiaries of the 

Assumed Liabilities. 

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at 

the Closing, Purchaser shall (i) offset, pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, the UST Credit Bid Amount against Indebtedness of Parent and its Subsidiaries 

owed to Purchaser as of the Closing under the UST Credit Facilities and the DIP Facility; 

(ii) transfer to Parent, in accordance with the instructions provided by Parent to Purchaser 

prior to the Closing, the UST Warrant; and (iii) issue to Parent, in accordance with the 

instructions provided by Parent to Purchaser prior to the Closing, the Parent Shares and 

the Parent Warrants. 

(c)

(i) Sellers may, at any time, seek an Order of the Bankruptcy Court 

(the “Claims Estimate Order”), which Order may be the Order confirming Sellers’ 

Chapter 11 plan, estimating the aggregate allowed general unsecured claims 

against Sellers’ estates. If in the Claims Estimate Order, the Bankruptcy Court 

makes a finding that the estimated aggregate allowed general unsecured claims 

against Sellers’ estates exceed $35,000,000,000, then Purchaser will, within five 

(5) days of entry of the Claims Estimate Order, issue 10,000,000 additional shares 

of Common Stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) to Parent, as an adjustment to the 

Purchase Price. 

(ii) The number of Adjustment Shares shall be adjusted to take into 

account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, 
 -35- 

merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction with respect to the 

Common Stock, effected from and after the Closing and before issuance of the 

Adjustment Shares. 

(iii) At the Closing, Purchaser shall have authorized and, thereafter, 

shall reserve for issuance the Adjustment Shares that may be issued hereunder. 

Section 3.3 Allocation. Following the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and 

deliver to Sellers an allocation of the aggregate consideration among Sellers and, for any 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement that do not constitute an Agreed G Transaction 

pursuant to Section 6.16, Purchaser shall also prepare and deliver to the applicable Seller a 

proposed allocation of the Purchase Price and other consideration paid in exchange for the 

Purchased Assets, prepared in accordance with Section 1060, and if applicable, Section 338, of 

the Tax Code (the “Allocation”). The applicable Seller shall have thirty (30) days after the 

delivery of the Allocation to review and consent to the Allocation in writing, which consent shall 

not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the applicable Seller consents to the 

Allocation, such Seller and Purchaser shall use such Allocation to prepare and file in a timely 

manner all appropriate Tax filings, including the preparation and filing of all applicable forms in 

accordance with applicable Law, including Forms 8594 and 8023, if applicable, with their 

respective Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and shall take no 

position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with such Allocation; provided, however, that 

nothing contained herein shall prevent the applicable Seller and Purchaser from settling any 

proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of 

such Allocation, and neither the applicable Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to litigate 

before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing Authority challenging 

such Allocation. If the applicable Seller does not consent to such Allocation, the applicable 

Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such disagreement within such thirty (30) day period, 

and thereafter, the applicable Seller shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any such 

disagreement. If the Parties cannot resolve a disagreement under this Section 3.3, such 

disagreement shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm chosen by Purchaser and 

reasonably acceptable to the applicable Seller, and such resolution shall be final and binding on 

the Parties. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser, 

on the one hand, and the applicable Seller, on the other hand. The applicable Seller shall provide 

Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide the applicable Seller, with a copy of any information 

described above required to be furnished to any Taxing Authority in connection with the 

transactions contemplated herein.

Section 3.4 Prorations. 

(a) The following prorations relating to the Purchased Assets shall be made: 

(i) Except as provided in Section 2.3(a)(v) and Section 2.3(a)(vi), in 

the case of Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period, for purposes of Retained 

Liabilities, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to Sellers with respect to 

any Purchased Asset shall be: 
 -36- 

(A) in the case of Taxes that are either (1) based upon or related 

to income or receipts, or (2) imposed in connection with any sale or other 

transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or 

intangible), other than Transfer Taxes, equal to the amount that would be 

payable if the taxable period ended on the Closing Date; and 

(B) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, or 

otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of 

such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (after giving effect to amounts 

which may be deducted from or offset against such Taxes) (or, in the case 

of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes 

for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the 

numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the 

Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the 

entire Straddle Period. 

In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or 

long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under 

this clause (i) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the 

Closing Date. All determinations necessary to effect the foregoing allocations 

shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the applicable Seller, 

Seller Group member, or Seller Subsidiary. 

(ii) All charges for water, wastewater treatment, sewers, electricity, 

fuel, gas, telephone, garbage and other utilities relating to the Transferred Real 

Property shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with Sellers being liable to the 

extent such items relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Purchaser being liable 

to the extent such items relate to the Post-Closing Tax Period. 

(b) If any of the foregoing proration amounts cannot be determined as of the 

Closing Date due to final invoices not being issued as of the Closing Date, Purchasers 

and Sellers shall prorate such items as and when the actual invoices are issued to the 

appropriate Party. The Party owing amounts to the other by means of such prorations 

shall pay the same within thirty (30) days after delivery of a written request by the paying 

Party. 

Section 3.5 Post-Closing True-up of Certain Accounts. 

(a) Sellers shall promptly reimburse Purchaser in U.S. Dollars for the 

aggregate amount of all checks, drafts and similar instruments of disbursement, including 

wire and similar transfers of funds, written or initiated by Sellers prior to the Closing in 

respect of any obligations that would have constituted Retained Liabilities at the Closing, 

and that clear or settle in accounts maintained by Purchaser (or its Affiliates) at or 

following the Closing. 

(b) Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Sellers in U.S. Dollars for the 

aggregate amount of all checks, drafts and similar instruments of disbursement, including 
 -37- 

wire and similar transfers of funds, written or initiated by Sellers following the Closing in 

respect of any obligations that would have constituted Assumed Liabilities at the Closing, 

and that clear or settle in accounts maintained by Sellers (or their Affiliates) at or 

following the Closing.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS 

Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents or in the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, 

each Seller represents and warrants severally, and not jointly, to Purchaser as follows: 

Section 4.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each Seller and each Purchased 

Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of 

organization. Subject to the limitations imposed on Sellers as a result of having filed the 

Bankruptcy Cases, each Seller and each Purchased Subsidiary has all requisite corporate, limited 

liability company, partnership or similar power, as the case may be, and authority to own, lease 

and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each 

Seller and each Purchased Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed or admitted to do business, 

and is in good standing in (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law), the 

jurisdictions in which the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires such 

qualification or license, in each case, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in 

good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Sellers have 

made available to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement true and complete copies of 

Sellers’ Organizational Documents, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement. 

Section 4.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Subject to the entry and 

effectiveness of the Sale Approval Order, each Seller has the requisite corporate or limited 

liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to (a) execute and deliver this 

Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which such Seller is a party; (b) perform its 

obligations hereunder and thereunder; and (c) consummate the transactions contemplated by this 

Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which such Seller is a party. Subject to the entry 

and effectiveness of the Sale Approval Order, this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary 

Agreement, when duly executed and delivered by each Seller that is a party thereto, shall 

constitute, a valid and legally binding obligation of such Seller (assuming that this Agreement 

and such Ancillary Agreements constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser), 

enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its respective terms and conditions, except as 

enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, 

fraudulent transfer and other similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ 

rights generally from time to time in effect and by general equitable principles relating to 

enforceability, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 

Section 4.3 Noncontravention; Consents. 

(a) Subject, in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), to the entry and 

effectiveness of the Sale Approval Order, the execution, delivery and performance by 

each Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, and 

(subject to the entry of the Sale Approval Order) the consummation by such Seller of the 
 -38- 

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not (i) violate any Law to which the 

Purchased Assets are subject; (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of 

the Organizational Documents of such Seller; (iii) result in a material breach or constitute 

a material default under, or create in any Person the right to terminate, cancel or 

accelerate any material obligation of such Seller pursuant to any material Purchased 

Contract (including any material License); or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of 

any Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, upon the Purchased Assets, 

except for any of the foregoing in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), that would not 

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) Subject to the entry and effectiveness of the Sale Approval Order, no 

consent, waiver, approval, Order, Permit, qualification or authorization of, or declaration 

or filing with, or notification to, any Person or Governmental Authority (other than the 

Bankruptcy Court) is required by any Seller for the consummation by each Seller of the 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Ancillary Agreements to which 

such Seller is a party or the compliance by such Seller with any of the provisions hereof 

or thereof, except for (i) compliance with the applicable requirements of any Antitrust 

Laws and (ii) such consent, waiver, approval, Order, Permit, qualification or 

authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Person or 

Governmental Authority, the failure of which to be received or made would not 

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.4 Subsidiaries. Section 4.4 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule 

identifies each Purchased Subsidiary and the jurisdiction of organization thereof. There are no 

Equity Interests in any Purchased Subsidiary issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All of 

the outstanding shares of capital stock, if applicable, of each Purchased Subsidiary have been 

duly authorized, validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned, directly or 

indirectly, by Sellers, free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. 

Sellers, directly or indirectly, have good and valid title to the outstanding Equity Interests of the 

Purchased Subsidiaries and, upon delivery by Sellers to Purchaser of the outstanding Equity 

Interests of the Purchased Subsidiaries (either directly or indirectly) at the Closing, good and 

valid title to the outstanding Equity Interests of the Purchased Subsidiaries will pass to Purchaser 

(or, with respect to any Purchased Subsidiary that is not a direct Subsidiary of a Seller, the 

Purchased Subsidiary with regard to which it is a Subsidiary will continue to have good and valid 

title to such outstanding Equity Interests). None of the outstanding Equity Interests in the 

Purchased Subsidiaries has been conveyed in violation of, and none of the outstanding Equity 

Interests in the Purchased Subsidiaries has been issued in violation of (a) any preemptive or 

subscription rights, rights of first offer or first refusal or similar rights or (b) any voting trust, 

proxy or other Contract (including options or rights of first offer or first refusal) with respect to 

the voting, purchase, sale or other disposition thereof. 

Section 4.5 Reports and Financial Statements; Internal Controls. 

(a) (i) Parent has filed or furnished, or will file or furnish, as applicable, all 

forms, documents, schedules and reports, together with any amendments required to be 

made with respect thereto, required to be filed or furnished with the SEC from April 1, 

2007 until the Closing (the “Parent SEC Documents”), and (ii) as of their respective 
 -39- 

filing dates, or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, the Parent SEC 

Documents complied or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 

Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the Parent SEC 

Documents contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or 

will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the 

statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not 

misleading, subject, in the case of Parent SEC Documents filed or furnished during the 

period beginning on the date of the Original Agreement and ending on the Closing Date, 

to any modification by Parent of its reporting obligations under Section 12 or Section 

15(d) of the Exchange Act as a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases. 

(b) (i) The consolidated financial statements of Parent included in the Parent 

SEC Documents (including all related notes and schedules, where applicable) fairly 

present or will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of 

Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as at the respective dates thereof, and (ii) the 

consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the 

respective periods then ended (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal 

year-end audit adjustments and to any other adjustments described therein, including the 

notes thereto) in conformity with GAAP (except, in the case of the unaudited statements, 

as permitted by the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved 

(except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of Parent 

SEC Documents filed or furnished during the period beginning on the date of the Original 

Agreement and ending on the Closing Date, to any modification by Parent of its reporting 

obligations under Section 12 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as a result of the filing 

of the Bankruptcy Cases. 

(c) Parent maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting 

designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 

and the preparation of financial statements for inclusion in the Parent SEC Documents in 

accordance with GAAP and maintains records that (i) in reasonable detail accurately and 

fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Parent and its consolidated 

Subsidiaries, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 

to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts 

and expenditures are made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations and (iii) 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 

acquisition, use or disposition of assets. There are no (A) material weaknesses in the 

design or operation of the internal controls of Parent or (B) to the Knowledge of Sellers, 

any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees of 

Parent or any Purchased Subsidiary who have a significant role in internal control.

constitute, a valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser (assuming that this 

Agreement and such Ancillary Agreements constitute valid and legally binding 

obligations of each Seller that is a party thereto and the other applicable parties thereto), 

enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its respective terms and conditions, 

except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,

have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions 

contemplated hereby or thereby or to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement 

or any Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party (a “Purchaser Material Adverse 

Effect”). 

(b) No consent, waiver, approval, Order, Permit or authorization of, or

waiver, approval, Order, Permit, qualification or authorization of, or declaration or filing

Section 6.1 Access to Information. 

(a) Sellers agree that, until the earlier of the Executory Contract Designation

Contracts, personnel, records and operations (including the Purchased Assets and 

Assumed Liabilities) of Sellers and their Subsidiaries, including access to systems, data, 

databases for benefit plan administration; provided however, that no such investigation or 

examination shall be permitted to the extent that it would, in Sellers’ reasonable 

determination, require any Seller, any Subsidiary of any Seller or any of their respective 

Representatives to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or in conflict 

with any confidentiality agreement to which any Seller, any Subsidiary of any Seller or 

any of their respective Representatives are bound (in which case, to the extent requested 

by Purchaser, Sellers will use reasonable best efforts to seek an amendment or 

appropriate waiver, or necessary consents, as may be required to avoid such conflict, or 

restructure the form of access, so as to permit the access requested); provided further, that 

notwithstanding the notice provisions in Section 9.2 hereof, all such requests for access 

to the executive officers of Sellers shall be directed, prior to the Closing, to the Chief 

Financial Officer of Parent or his designee, and following the Closing, to the Chief

investigation and examination, and each of Purchaser and its Representatives shall use 

their reasonable best efforts to not materially interfere with the business of Sellers and 

their Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 

6.1(a), such investigation and examination shall include reasonable access to Sellers’ 

executive officers (and employees of Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries identified 

by such executive officers), offices, properties and other facilities, and books, Contracts 

and records (including any document retention policies of Sellers) and access to 

accountants of Sellers and each of their respective Subsidiaries (provided that Sellers and 

each of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall have the right to be present at 

any meeting between any such accountant and Purchaser or Representative of Purchaser, 

whether such meeting is in person, telephonic or otherwise) and Sellers and each of their 

respective Subsidiaries and their Representatives shall prepare and furnish to Purchaser’s 

Representatives such additional financial and operating data and other information as 

Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, subject, in each case, to the 

confidentiality restrictions outlined in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding anything

representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV to be untrue in any material 

respect as of any such date when such representation or warranty is made or deemed to be 

made and (E) not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially prevent 

or delay the Closing.

6.2(a), each Seller agrees that, from and after the date of this Agreement and until the 

earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, without the prior written 

consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or

and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (as modified by Orders of the 

Bankruptcy Court), the Sale Procedures Order or other Orders of the Bankruptcy Court, 

including General Order M-331 issued by the Bankruptcy Court, and any applicable local 

rules of the Bankruptcy Court. 

(g) Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review 

and comment on all motions, applications and supporting papers prepared by Sellers in 

connection with this Agreement (including forms of Orders and of notices to interested 

parties) prior to the filing or delivery thereof in the Bankruptcy Cases. All motions, 

applications and supporting papers prepared by Sellers and relating to the approval of this 

Agreement (including forms of Orders and of notices to interested parties) to be filed or 

delivered on behalf of Sellers shall be reasonably acceptable in form and substance to 

Purchaser. Sellers shall provide written notice to Purchaser of all matters that are 

required to be served on Sellers’ creditors pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the 

Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. In the event the Sale Procedures Order and the 

Sale Approval Order is appealed, Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to defend 

such appeal. 

(h) Purchaser agrees, to the extent reasonably requested by Sellers, to 

cooperate with and assist Sellers in seeking entry of the Sale Procedures Order and the 

Sale Approval Order by the Bankruptcy Court, including attending all hearings on the 

Sale Procedures and Sale Motion. 

Section 6.5 Supplements to Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall, from the date 

hereof until the Executory Contract Designation Deadline, have the right to designate in writing 

additional Personal Property it wishes to designate as Purchased Assets if such Personal Property 

is located at a parcel of leased real property where the underlying lease has been designated as a 

Rejectable Executory Contract pursuant to Section 6.6 following the Closing. 

Section 6.6 Assumption or Rejection of Contracts. 

(a) The Assumable Executory Contract Schedule sets forth a list of Executory 

Contracts entered into by Sellers that Sellers may assume and assign to Purchaser in 

accordance with this Section 6.6(a) (each, an “Assumable Executory Contract”). Any 

Contract identified on Section 6.6(a)(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule and Section 

6.6(a)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule shall automatically be designated as an 
 -63- 

Assumable Executory Contract and deemed to be set forth on the Assumable Executory 

Contract Schedule. Purchaser may, until the Executory Contract Designation Deadline, 

designate in writing any additional Executory Contract it wishes to designate as an 

Assumable Executory Contract and include on the Assumable Executory Contract 

Schedule, or any Assumable Executory Contract it no longer wishes to designate as an 

Assumable Executory Contract and remove from the Assumable Executory Contract 

Schedule; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser may not designate as an Assumable 

Executory Contract any (A) Rejectable Executory Contract, unless Sellers have 

consented to such designation in writing or (B) Contract that has previously been rejected 

by Sellers pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Purchaser may not 

remove from the Assumable Executory Contract Schedule (v) the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement, (w) any Contract identified on Section 6.6(a)(i) of the Sellers’ 

Disclosure Schedule or Section 6.6(a)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, (x) any 

Contract that has been previously assumed by Sellers pursuant to Section 365 of the 

Bankruptcy Code, (y) any Deferred Termination Agreement (or the related Discontinued 

Brand Dealer Agreement or Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement) or (z) any 

Participation Agreement (or the related Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement). Except as 

otherwise provided above, for each Assumable Executory Contract, Purchaser must 

determine, prior to the Executory Contract Designation Deadline, the date on which it 

seeks to have the assumption and assignment become effective, which date may be the 

Closing Date or a later date (but not an earlier date). The term “Executory Contract 

Designation Deadline” shall mean the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following the 

Closing Date, or if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, or if mutually 

agreed upon by the Parties, any later date up to and including the Business Day 

immediately prior to the date of the confirmation hearing for Sellers’ plan of liquidation 

or reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, the Executory Contract Designation 

Deadline may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties with respect to any single 

unassumed and unassigned Executory Contract, groups of unassumed and unassigned 

Executory Contracts or all of the unassumed and unassigned Executory Contracts. 

(b) Sellers may, until the Closing, provide written notice (a “Notice of Intent 

to Reject”) to Purchaser of Sellers’ intent to designate any Executory Contract (that has 

not been designated as an Assumable Executory Contract) as a Rejectable Executory 

Contract (each a “Proposed Rejectable Executory Contract”). Following receipt of a 

Notice of Intent to Reject, Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no 

event later than fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of a Notice of Intent to Reject 

(the “Option Period”), provide Sellers written notice of Purchaser’s designation of one or 

more Proposed Rejectable Executory Contracts identified in such Notice of Intent to 

Reject as an Assumable Executory Contract. Each Proposed Rejectable Executory 

Contract that has not been designated by Purchaser as an Assumable Executory Contract 

during the applicable Option Period shall automatically, without further action by Sellers, 

be designated as a Rejectable Executory Contract. A “Rejectable Executory Contract” is 

an Executory Contract that Sellers may, but are not obligated to, reject pursuant Section 

365 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(c) Immediately following the Closing, each Executory Contract entered into 

by Sellers and then in existence that has not previously been designated as an Assumable 
 -64- 

Executory Contract, a Rejectable Executory Contract or a Proposed Rejectable Executory 

Contract, and that has not otherwise been assumed or rejected by Sellers pursuant to 

Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed to be an Executory Contract 

subject to subsequent designation by Purchaser as an Assumable Executory Contract or a 

Rejectable Executory Contract (each a “Deferred Executory Contract”). 

(d) All Assumable Executory Contracts shall be assumed and assigned to 

Purchaser on the date (the “Assumption Effective Date”) that is the later of (i) the date 

designated by the Purchaser and (ii) the date following expiration of the objection 

deadline if no objection, other than to the Cure Amount, has been timely filed or the date 

of resolution of any objection unrelated to Cure Amount, as provided in the Sale 

Procedures Order; provided, however, that in the case of each (A) Assumable Executory 

Contract identified on Section 6.6(a)(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, (2) Deferred 

Termination Agreement (and the related Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreement or 

Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement) designated as an Assumable Executory Contract 

and (3) Participation Agreement (and the related Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement) 

designated as an Assumable Executory Contract, the Assumption Effective Date shall be 

the Closing Date and (B) Assumable Executory Contract identified on Section 6.6(a)(ii) 

of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, the Assumption Effective Date shall be a date that is 

no later than the date set forth with respect to such Executory Contract on Section 

6.6(a)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. On the Assumption Effective Date for any 

Assumable Executory Contract, such Assumable Executory Contract shall be deemed to 

be a Purchased Contract hereunder. If it is determined under the procedures set forth in 

the Sale Procedures Order that Sellers may not assume and assign to Purchaser any 

Assumable Executory Contract, such Executory Contract shall cease to be an Assumable 

Executory Contract and shall be an Excluded Contract and a Rejectable Executory 

Contract. Except as provided in Section 6.31, notwithstanding anything else to the 

contrary herein, any Executory Contract that has not been specifically designated as an 

Assumable Executory Contract as of the Executory Contract Designation Deadline 

applicable to such Executory Contract, including any Deferred Executory Contract, shall 

automatically be deemed to be a Rejectable Executory Contract and an Excluded 

Contract hereunder. Sellers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject, at any 

time, any Rejectable Executory Contract; provided, however, that Sellers shall not reject 

any Contract that affects both Owned Real Property and Excluded Real Property 

(whether designated on Exhibit F or now or hereafter designated on Section 2.2(b)(v) of 

the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule), including any such Executory Contract that involves 

the provision of water, water treatment, electric, fuel, gas, telephone and other utilities to 

any facilities located at the Excluded Real Property, whether designated on Exhibit F or 

now or hereafter designated on Section 2.2(b)(v) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (the 

“Shared Executory Contracts”), without the prior written consent of Purchaser. 

(e) From and after the Closing and during the applicable period specified 

below, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect 

of Sellers’ performance (i) under each Proposed Rejectable Executory Contract, during 

the pendency of the applicable Option Period under such Proposed Rejectable Executory 

Contract, (ii) under each Deferred Executory Contract, for so long as such Contract 

remains a Deferred Executory Contract, (iii) under each Assumable Executory Contract, 
 -65- 

as long as such Contract remains an Assumable Executory Contract and (iv) under each 

GM Assumed Contract, until the applicable Assumption Effective Date. At and after the 

Closing and until such time as any Shared Executory Contract is either (y) rejected by 

Sellers pursuant to the provision set forth in this Section 6.6 or (z) assumed by Sellers 

and subsequently modified with Purchaser’s consent so as to no longer be applicable to 

the affected Owned Real Property, Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers as and when 

requested by Sellers for Purchasers’ and its Affiliates’ allocable share of all costs and 

expenses incurred under such Shared Executory Contract. 

(f) Sellers and Purchaser shall comply with the procedures set forth in the 

Sale Procedures Order with respect to the assumption and assignment or rejection of any 

Executory Contract pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 6.6. 

(g) No designation of any Executory Contract for assumption and assignment 

or rejection in accordance with this Section 6.6 shall give rise to any right to any 

adjustment to the Purchase Price. 

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, if, following the Executory Contract 

Designation Deadline, Sellers or Purchaser identify an Executory Contract that has not 

previously been identified as a Contract for assumption and assignment, and such 

Contract is important to Purchaser’s ability to use or hold the Purchased Assets or operate 

its businesses in connection therewith, Sellers will assume and assign such Contract and 

assign it to Purchaser without any adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided that 

Purchaser consents and agrees at such time to (i) assume such Executory Contract and (ii) 

and discharge all Cure Amounts in respect hereof. 

Section 6.7 Deferred Termination Agreements; Participation Agreements. 

(a) Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts 

to enter into short-term deferred voluntary termination agreements in substantially the 

form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (in respect of all Saturn Discontinued Brand Dealer 

Agreements), Exhibit J-2 (in respect of all Hummer Discontinued Brand Dealer 

Agreements) and Exhibit J-3 (in respect of all non-Saturn and non-Hummer

Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreements and all Excluded Continuing Brand Dealer 

Agreements) that will, when executed by the relevant dealer counterparty thereto, modify 

the respective Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreements and selected Continuing Brand 

Dealer Agreements (collectively, the “Deferred Termination Agreements”). For the 

avoidance of doubt, (i) each Deferred Termination Agreement, and the related 

Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreement or Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement modified 

thereby, will automatically be an Assumable Executory Contract hereunder upon valid 

execution of such Deferred Termination Agreement by the parties thereto and (ii) all 

Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreements that are not modified by a Deferred Termination 

Agreement, and all Continuing Brand Dealer Agreements that are not modified by either 

a Deferred Termination Agreement or a Participation Agreement, will automatically be a 

Rejectable Executory Contract hereunder. 
 -66- 

(b) Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts 

to enter into agreements, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K that will 

modify all Continuing Brand Dealer Agreements (other than the Continuing Brand 

Dealer Agreements that are proposed to be modified by Deferred Termination 

Agreements) (the “Participation Agreements”). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) all 

Participation Agreements, and the related Continuing Brand Dealer Agreements, will 

automatically be Assumable Executory Contracts hereunder upon valid execution of such 

Participation Agreement and (ii) all Continuing Brand Dealer Agreements that are 

proposed to be modified by a Participation Agreement and are not modified by a 

Participation Agreement will be offered Deferred Termination Agreements pursuant to

Section 6.7(a). 

Section 6.8 [Reserved]

Section 6.9 Purchaser Assumed Debt; Wind Down Facility. 

(a) Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to agree with Sponsor on the 

terms of a restructuring of the Purchaser Assumed Debt so as to be assumed by Purchaser 

immediately prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into 

definitive financing agreements with respect to the Purchaser Assumed Debt so that such 

agreements are in effect as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the 

Closing. 

(b) Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to agree with Sponsor on the terms 

of a restructuring of $950,000,000 of Indebtedness accrued under the DIP Facility (as 

restructured, the “Wind Down Facility”) to provide for such Wind Down Facility to be 

non-recourse, to accrue payment-in-kind interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points, to be 

secured by all assets of Sellers (other than the Parent Shares, Adjustment Shares, Parent 

Warrants and any securities received in respect thereof), and to be subject to mandatory 

repayment from the proceeds of asset sales (other than the sale of Parent Shares, 

Adjustment Shares, Parent Warrants and any securities received in respect thereof). 

Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into definitive financing agreements with 

respect to the Wind Down Facility so that such agreements are in effect as promptly as 

practicable but in any event no later than the Closing. 

Section 6.10 Litigation and Other Assistance. In the event and for so long as 

any Party is actively contesting or defending against any action, investigation, charge, Claim or 

demand by a third party in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the 

other Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the contesting or defending Party and its counsel in 

such contest or defense, make available its personnel and provide such testimony and access to 

its books, records and other materials as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the 

contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party; provided, 

however, that no Party shall be required to provide the contesting or defending party with any 

access to its books, records or materials if such access would violate the attorney-client privilege 

or conflict with any confidentiality obligations to which the non-contesting or defending Party is 

subject. In addition, the Parties agree to cooperate in connection with the making or filing of 

claims, requests for information, document retrieval and other activities in connection with any 
 -67- 

and all Claims made under insurance policies specified on Section 2.2(b)(xiii) of the Sellers’ 

Disclosure Schedule to the extent any such Claim relates to any Purchased Asset or Assumed 

Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.10 shall not apply to any action, 

investigation, charge, Claim or demand by any of Sellers or their Affiliates, on the one hand, or 

Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand. 

Section 6.11 Further Assurances. 

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, 

each of the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all 

actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to 

consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable, the transactions 

contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and to bring about 

the satisfaction of all other conditions to the other Parties’ obligations hereunder; 

provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Sellers or Purchaser, or 

any of their respective Affiliates, to waive or modify any of the terms and conditions of 

this Agreement or any documents contemplated hereby, except as expressly set forth 

herein. The Parties acknowledge that Sponsor’s acquisition of interest is a sovereign act 

and that no filings should be made by Sponsor or Purchaser in non-United States 

jurisdictions. 

(b) The Parties shall negotiate the forms, terms and conditions of the 

Ancillary Agreements, to the extent the forms thereof are not attached to this Agreement, 

on the basis of the respective term sheets attached to this Agreement, in good faith, with 

such Ancillary Agreements to set forth terms on an Arms-Length Basis and incorporate 

usual and customary provisions for similar agreements. 

(c) Until the Closing, Sellers shall maintain a team of appropriate personnel 

(each such team, a “Transition Team”) to assist Purchaser and its Representatives in 

connection with Purchaser’s efforts to complete prior to the Closing the activities 

described below. Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Transition 

Team to (A) meet with Purchaser and its Representatives on a regular basis at such times 

as Purchaser may reasonably request and (B) take such action and provide such 

information, including background and summary information, as Purchaser and its 

Representatives may reasonably request in connection with the following activities: 

(i) evaluation and identification of all Contracts that Purchaser may 

elect to designate as Purchased Contracts or Excluded Contracts, consistent with 

its rights under this Agreement; 

(ii) evaluation and identification of all assets and entities that 

Purchaser may elect to designate as Purchased Assets or Excluded Assets, 

consistent with its rights under this Agreement; 

(iii) maintaining and obtaining necessary governmental consents, 

permits, authorizations, licenses and financial assurance for operation of the 

business by Purchaser following the Closing; 
 -68- 

(iv) obtaining necessary third party consents for operation of the 

business by Purchaser following the Closing; 

(v) implementing the optimal structure for Purchaser and its 

subsidiaries to acquire and hold the Purchased Assets and operate the business 

following the Closing; 

(vi) implementing the assumption of all Assumed Plans and otherwise 

satisfying the obligations of Purchaser as provided in Section 6.17 with respect to 

Employment Related Obligations; and 

(vii) such other transition matters as Purchaser may reasonably 

determine are necessary for Purchaser to fulfill its obligations and exercise its 

rights under this Agreement. 

Section 6.12 Notifications. 

(a) Sellers shall give written notice to Purchaser as soon as practicable upon 

becoming aware of any event, circumstance, condition, fact, effect or other matter that 

resulted in, or that would reasonably be likely to result in (i) any representation or 

warranty set forth in ARTICLE IV being or becoming untrue or inaccurate in any 

material respect as of any date on or after the date hereof (as if then made, except to the 

extent such representation or warranty is expressly made only as of a specific date, in 

which case, as of such date), (ii) the failure by Sellers to comply with or satisfy in any 

material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by 

Sellers under this Agreement or (iii) a condition to the Closing set forth in Section 7.1 or 

Section 7.2 becoming incapable of being satisfied; provided, however, that no such 

notification shall affect or cure a breach of any of Sellers’ representations or warranties, a 

failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Sellers or a failure to have 

satisfied the conditions to the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement. Such notice 

shall be in form of a certificate signed by an executive officer of Parent setting forth the 

details of such event and the action which Parent proposes to take with respect thereto. 

(b) Purchaser shall give written notice to Sellers as soon as practicable upon 

becoming aware of any event, circumstance, condition, fact, effect or other matter that 

resulted in, or that would reasonably be likely to result in (i) any representation or 

warranty set forth in ARTICLE V being or becoming untrue or inaccurate in any 

material respect with respect to Purchaser as of any date on or after the date hereof (as if 

then made, except to the extent such representation or warranty is expressly made only as 

of a specific date, in which case as of such date), (ii) the failure by Purchaser to comply 

with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be 

complied with or satisfied by Purchaser under this Agreement or (iii) a condition to the 

Closing set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 becoming incapable of being satisfied; 

provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or cure a breach of any of 

Purchaser’s representations or warranties, a failure to perform any of the covenants or 

agreements of Purchaser or a failure to have satisfied the conditions to the obligations of 

Purchaser under this Agreement. Such notice shall be in a form of a certificate signed by 
 -69- 

an executive officer of Purchaser setting forth the details of such event and the action 

which Purchaser proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 6.13 Actions by Affiliates. Each of Purchaser and Sellers shall cause 

their respective controlled Affiliates, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that 

each of their respective other Affiliates (other than Sponsor in the case of Purchaser) takes all 

actions reasonably necessary to be taken by such Affiliate in order to fulfill the obligations of 

Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, under this Agreement. 

Section 6.14 Compliance Remediation. Except with respect to the Excluded 

Assets or Retained Liabilities, prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to, 

and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best 

efforts to, cure in all material respects any instances of non-compliance with Laws or Orders, 

failures to possess or maintain Permits or defaults under Permits. 

Section 6.15 Product Certification, Recall and Warranty Claims. 

(a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall comply with the certification, 

reporting and recall requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 

the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, the 

Clean Air Act, the California Health and Safety Code and similar Laws, in each case, to 

the extent applicable in respect of vehicles and vehicle parts manufactured or distributed 

by Seller. 

(b) From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the 

administration, management and payment of all Liabilities arising under (i) express 

written warranties of Sellers that are specifically identified as warranties and delivered in 

connection with the sale of new, certified used or pre-owned vehicles or new or 

remanufactured motor vehicle parts and equipment (including service parts, accessories, 

engines and transmissions) manufactured or sold by Sellers or Purchaser prior to or after 

the Closing and (ii) Lemon Laws. In connection with the foregoing clause (ii), (A) 

Purchaser shall continue to address Lemon Law Claims using the same procedural 

mechanisms previously utilized by the applicable Sellers and (B) for avoidance of doubt, 

Purchaser shall not assume Liabilities arising under the law of implied warranty or other 

analogous provisions of state Law, other than Lemon Laws, that provide consumer 

remedies in addition to or different from those specified in Sellers’ express warranties. 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Liabilities of the Transferred Entities arising 

from or in connection with products manufactured or sold by the Transferred Entities 

remain the responsibility of the Transferred Entities and shall be neither Assumed 

Liabilities nor Retained Liabilities for the purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 6.16 Tax Matters; Cooperation. 

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and timely file (or cause to 

be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns required to be filed prior to such date 

(taking into account any extension of time to file granted or obtained) that relate to 

Sellers, the Purchased Subsidiaries and the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with 
 -70- 

past practices (except as otherwise required by Law), and shall provide Purchaser prompt 

opportunity for review and comment and shall obtain Purchaser’s written approval prior 

to filing any such Tax Returns. After the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser 

shall prepare, and the applicable Seller, Seller Subsidiary or Seller Group member shall 

timely file, any Tax Return relating to any Seller, Seller Subsidiary or Seller Group 

member for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period due after the Closing Date or 

other taxable period of any entity that includes the Closing Date, subject to the right of 

the applicable Seller to review any such material Tax Return. Purchaser shall prepare 

and file all other Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date in respect of the 

Purchased Assets. Sellers shall prepare and file all other Tax Returns relating to the PostClosing Tax Period of Sellers, subject to the prior review and approval of Purchaser, 

which approval may be withheld, conditioned or delayed with good reason. No Seller or 

Seller Group member shall be entitled to any payment or other consideration in addition 

to the Purchase Price with respect to the acquisition or use of any Tax items or attributes 

by Purchaser, any Purchased Subsidiary or Affiliates thereof. At Purchaser’s request, any 

Seller or Seller Group member shall designate Purchaser or any of its Affiliates as a 

substitute agent for the Seller Group for Tax purposes. Purchaser shall be entitled to 

make all determinations, including the right to make or cause to be made any elections 

with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of Sellers, Seller Subsidiaries, Seller Groups and 

Seller Group members with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods and 

with respect to the Tax consequences of the Relevant Transactions (including the 

treatment of such transactions as an Agreed G Transaction) and the other transactions 

contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the “date of distribution or transfer” for 

purposes of Section 381(b) of the Tax Code, if applicable; (ii) the relevant Tax periods 

and members of the Seller Group and the Purchaser and its Affiliates; (iii) whether the 

Purchaser and/or any of its Affiliates shall be treated as a continuation of Seller Group; 

and (iv) any other determinations required under Section 381 of the Tax Code. Purchaser 

shall have the sole right to represent the interests, as applicable, of any Seller, Seller 

Group member or Purchased Subsidiary in any Tax proceeding in connection with any 

Tax Liability or any Tax item for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, Straddle Period or other 

Tax period affecting any such earlier Tax period. After the Closing, Purchaser shall have 

the right to assume control of any PLR or CA request filed by Sellers or any Affiliate 

thereof, including the right to represent Sellers and their Affiliates and to direct all 

professionals acting on their behalf in connection with such request, and no settlement, 

concession, compromise, commitment or other agreements in respect of such PLR or CA 

request shall be made without Purchaser’s prior written consent. 

(b) All Taxes required to be paid by any Seller or Seller Group member for 

any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period shall be timely paid. To the extent a 

Party hereto is liable for a Tax pursuant to this Agreement and such Tax is paid or 

payable by another Party or such other Party’s Affiliates, the Party liable for such Tax 

shall make payment in the amount of such Tax to the other Party no later than three (3) 

days prior to the due date for payment of such Tax, unless a later time for payment is 

agreed to in writing by such other Party. To the extent that any Seller or Seller Group 

member receives or realizes the benefit of any Tax refund, abatement or credit that is a 

Purchased Asset, such Seller or Seller Group member receiving the benefit shall transfer 
 -71- 

an amount equal to such refund, abatement or credit to Purchaser within fourteen (14) 

days of receipt or realization of the benefit. 

(c) Purchaser and Sellers shall provide each other with such assistance and 

non-privileged information relating to the Purchased Assets as may reasonably be 

requested in connection with any Tax matter, including the matters contemplated by this 

Section 6.16, the preparation of any Tax Return or the performance of any audit, 

examination or other proceeding by any Taxing Authority, whether conducted in a 

judicial or administrative forum. Purchaser and Sellers shall retain and provide to each 

other all non-privileged records and other information reasonably requested by the other 

and that may be relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, examination or other proceeding. 

(d) After the Closing, at Purchaser’s election, Purchaser shall exercise 

exclusive control over the handling, disposition and settlement of any inquiry, 

examination or proceeding (including an audit) by a Governmental Authority (or that 

portion of any inquiry, examination or proceeding by a Governmental Authority) with 

respect to Sellers, any Subsidiary of Sellers or any Seller Group, provided that to the 

extent any such inquiry, examination or proceeding by a Governmental Authority could 

materially affect the Taxes due or payable by Sellers, Purchaser shall control the 

handling, disposition and settlement thereof, subject to reasonable consultation rights of 

Sellers. Each Party shall notify the other Party (or Parties) in writing promptly upon 

learning of any such inquiry, examination or proceeding. The Parties and their Affiliates 

shall cooperate with each other in any such inquiry, examination or proceeding as a Party 

may reasonably request. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall extend, without 

Purchaser’s prior written consent, the statute of limitations for any Tax for which 

Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may be liable. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Purchaser shall prepare and 

Sellers shall timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the 

payment of Transfer Taxes. 

(f) From the date of this Agreement to and including the Closing Date, except 

to the extent relating solely to an Excluded Asset or Retained Liability, no Seller, Seller 

Group member or Purchased Subsidiary shall, without the prior written consent of 

Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, 

and shall not be withheld if not resulting in any Tax impact on Purchaser or any 

Purchased Asset), (i) make, change, or terminate any material election with respect to 

Taxes (including elections with respect to the use of Tax accounting methods) of any 

Seller, Seller Group member or Purchased Subsidiary or any material joint venture to 

which any Seller or Purchased Subsidiary is a party, (ii) settle or compromise any Claim 

or assessment for Taxes (including refunds) that could be reasonably expected to result in 

any adverse consequence on Purchaser or any Purchased Asset following the Closing 

Date, (iii) agree to an extension of the statute of limitations with respect to the assessment 

or collection of the Taxes of any Seller, Seller Group member or Purchased Subsidiary or 

any material joint venture of which any Seller or Purchased Subsidiary is a party or (iv) 

make or surrender any Claim for a refund of a material amount of the Taxes of any of 
 -72- 

Sellers or Purchased Subsidiaries or file an amended Tax Return with respect to a 

material amount of Taxes. 

(g)

(i) Purchaser shall treat the transactions with respect to Parent 

described herein, in combination with the subsequent liquidation of Sellers (such 

transactions, collectively, the “Relevant Transactions”), as a reorganization 

pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Tax Code with any actual or deemed 

distribution by Parent qualifying solely under Sections 354 and 356 of the Tax 

Code but not under Section 355 of the Tax Code (a “G Transaction”) if (x) the 

IRS issues a private letter ruling (“PLR”) or executes a closing agreement (“CA”), 

in each case reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, confirming that the Relevant 

Transactions shall qualify as a G Transaction for U.S. federal income Tax 

purposes, or (y) Purchaser determines to treat the Relevant Transactions as so 

qualifying (clause (x) or (y), an “Agreed G Transaction”). In connection with the 

foregoing, Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain a PLR or 

execute a CA with respect to the Relevant Transactions at least seven (7) days 

prior to the Closing Date. At least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, 

Purchaser shall advise Parent in writing as to whether Purchaser has made a 

determination regarding the treatment of the Relevant Transactions for U.S. 

federal income Tax purposes and, if applicable, the outcome of any such 

determination. 

(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser 

all information in the possession of Sellers and their Affiliates that is reasonably 

related to the determination of whether the Relevant Transactions constitute an 

Agreed G Transaction (“Relevant Information”), and, after the Closing, Sellers 

shall promptly provide to Purchaser any newly produced or obtained Relevant 

Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties shall cooperate in taking any 

actions and providing any information that Purchaser determines is necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the intended U.S. federal income Tax treatment of 

the Relevant Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this 

Agreement. 

(iii) If Purchaser has not determined as of the Closing Date whether to 

treat the Relevant Transactions as an Agreed G Transaction, Purchaser shall make 

such determination in accordance with this Section 6.16 prior to the due date 

(including validly obtained extensions) for filing the corporate income Tax Return 

for Parent’s U.S. affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Tax Code) for 

the taxable year in which the Closing Date occurs, and shall convey such decision 

in writing to Parent, which decision shall be binding on Parent. 

(iv) If the Relevant Transactions constitute an Agreed G Transaction 

under this Section 6.16: (A) Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts, and 

Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to assist Sellers, to effectuate such 

treatment and the Parties shall not take any action or position inconsistent with, or 
 -73- 

fail to take any necessary action in furtherance of, such treatment (subject to 

Section 6.16(g)(vi)); (B) the Parties agree that this Agreement shall constitute a 

“plan” of Parent and Purchaser for purposes of Sections 368 and 354 of the Tax 

Code; (C) the board of directors of Parent and Purchaser shall, by resolution, 

approve the execution of this Agreement and expressly recognize its treatment as 

a “plan” of Parent and Purchaser for purposes of Sections 368 and 354 of the Tax 

Code, and the treatment of the Relevant Transactions as a G Transaction for 

federal income Tax purposes; (D) Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a statement 

setting forth the adjusted Tax basis of the Purchased Assets and the amount of net 

operating losses and other material Tax attributes of Sellers and any Purchased 

Subsidiary that are available as of the Closing Date and after the close of any 

taxable year of any Seller or Seller Group member that impacts the numbers 

previously provided, all based on the best information available, but with no 

Liability for any errors or omissions in information; and (E) Sellers shall provide 

Purchaser with an estimate of the cancellation of Indebtedness income that Sellers 

and any Seller Group member anticipate realizing for the taxable year that 

includes the Closing Date, and shall provide revised numbers after the close of 

any taxable year of any Seller or Seller Group member that impacts this number. 

(v) If the Relevant Transactions do not constitute an Agreed G 

Transaction under this Section 6.16, the Parties hereby agree, and Sellers hereby 

consent, to treat the sale of the Purchased Assets by Parent as a taxable asset sale 

for all Tax purposes, to make any elections pursuant to Section 338 of the Tax 

Code requested by Purchaser, and to report consistently herewith for purposes of 

Section 3.3. In addition, the Parties hereby agree, and Sellers hereby consent, to 

treat the sales of the Purchased Assets by S Distribution and Harlem as taxable 

asset sales for all Tax purposes, to make any elections pursuant to Section 338 of 

the Tax Code requested by Purchaser, and to report consistently herewith for 

purposes of Section 3.3. 

(vi) No Party shall take any position with respect to the Relevant 

Transactions that is inconsistent with the position determined in accordance with 

this Section 6.16, unless, and then only to the extent, otherwise required to do so 

by a Final Determination. 

(vii) Each Seller shall liquidate, as determined for U.S. federal income 

Tax purposes and to the satisfaction of Purchaser, no later than December 31, 

2011, and each such liquidation may include a distribution of assets to a 

“liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 301.7701-4, the terms of 

which shall be satisfactory to Purchaser. 

(viii) Effective no later than the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be treated 

as a corporation for federal income Tax purposes.

Section 6.17 Employees; Benefit Plans; Labor Matters.

(a) Transferred Employees. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or 

one of its Affiliates shall make an offer of employment to each Applicable Employee. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as provided in an individual 

employment Contract with any Applicable Employee or as required by the terms of an 

Assumed Plan, offers of employment to Applicable Employees whose employment rights 

are subject to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as of the Closing Date, shall be 

made in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement and Purchaser’s obligations under the Labor Management 

Relations Act of 1974, as amended. Each offer of employment to an Applicable 

Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement shall 

provide, until at least the first anniversary of the Closing Date, for (i) base salary or 

hourly wage rates initially at least equal to such Applicable Employee’s base salary or 

hourly wage rate in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee 

pension and welfare benefits, Contracts and arrangements that are not less favorable in 

the aggregate than those listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, but 

not including any Retained Plan, equity or equity-based compensation plans or any 

Benefit Plan that does not comply in all respects with TARP. For the avoidance of doubt, 

each Applicable Employee on layoff status, leave status or with recall rights as of the 

Closing Date, shall continue in such status and/or retain such rights after Closing in the 

Ordinary Course of Business. Each Applicable Employee who accepts employment with 

Purchaser or one of its Affiliates and commences working for Purchaser or one of its 

Affiliates shall become a “Transferred Employee.” To the extent such offer of 

employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates is not accepted, Sellers shall, as soon as 

practicable following the Closing Date, terminate the employment of all such Applicable 

Employees. Nothing in this Section 6.17(a) shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its 

Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee after the 

Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement. It is understood that the intent of this Section 6.17(a) is to provide a 

seamless transition from Sellers to Purchaser of any Applicable Employee subject to the 

UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Except for Applicable Employees with nonstandard individual agreements providing for severance benefits, until at least the first 

anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it shall 

provide to each Transferred Employee who is not covered by the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement and whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Purchaser 

or its Affiliates on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, severance benefits 

that are not less favorable than the severance benefits such Transferred Employee would 

have received under the applicable Benefit Plans listed on Section 4.10 of the Sellers’ 

Disclosure Schedule. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary 

such that Transferred Employees shall be credited for their actual and credited service 

with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and 

benefit accrual (except in the case of a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by 

Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees may commence 

participation after the Closing that is not an Assumed Plan), in any employee benefit 

plans (excluding equity compensation plans or programs) covering Transferred 

Employees after the Closing to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was 
 -75- 

entitled as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to credit for such service under any 

similar employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of any of Sellers or any 

Affiliate of Sellers; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to 

duplicate any benefit to any such Transferred Employee or the funding for any such 

benefit. Such benefits shall not be subject to any exclusion for any pre-existing conditions 

to the extent such conditions were satisfied by such Transferred Employees under a 

Parent Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and credit shall be provided for any 

deductible or out-of-pocket amounts paid by such Transferred Employee during the plan 

year in which the Closing Date occurs. 

(b) Employees of Purchased Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, those 

employees of Purchased Subsidiaries who participate in the Assumed Plans, may, subject 

to the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, for all purposes continue to 

participate in such Assumed Plans, in accordance with their terms in effect from time to 

time. For the avoidance of any doubt, Purchaser shall continue the employment of any 

current Employee of any Purchased Subsidiary covered by the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement on the terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, subject to its terms; provided, 

however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to terminate the coverage of 

any UAW-represented Employee in an Assumed Plan if such Employee was a participant 

in the Assumed Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date. Further provided, that 

nothing in this Agreement shall create a direct employment relationship between Parent 

or Purchaser and an Employee of a Purchased Subsidiary or an Affiliate of Parent. 

(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained herein, express or 

implied, (i) is intended to confer or shall confer upon any Employee or Transferred 

Employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by 

reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment, 

(ii) except as set forth in Section 9.11, is intended to confer or shall confer upon any 

individual or any legal Representative of any individual (including employees, retirees, or 

dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees and including collective bargaining 

agents or representatives) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or (iii) 

shall be deemed to confer upon any such individual or legal Representative any rights 

under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated 

by this Agreement, and each such individual or legal Representative shall be entitled to 

look only to the express terms of any such plans, program or arrangement for his or her 

rights thereunder. Nothing herein is intended to override the terms and conditions of the 

UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. 

(d) Plan Authority. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall 

prohibit Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, from, subject to applicable Law and the 

terms of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement, adding, deleting or changing 

providers of benefits, changing, increasing or decreasing co-payments, deductibles or 

other requirements for coverage or benefits (e.g., utilization review or pre-certification 

requirements), and/or making other changes in the administration or in the design, 

coverage and benefits provided to such Transferred Employees. Without reducing the 

obligations of Purchaser as set forth in Section 6.17(a), no provision of this Agreement 
 -76- 

shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, 

to suspend, amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan, subject to the terms 

of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Further, (i) no provision of this 

Agreement shall be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan, and (ii) no 

provision of this Agreement shall be construed as limiting Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s, 

as applicable, discretion and authority to interpret the respective employee benefit and 

compensation plans, agreements arrangements, and programs, in accordance with their 

terms and applicable Law. 

(e) Assumption of Certain Parent Employee Benefit Plans and Policies. As of 

the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall assume (i) the Parent Employee 

Benefit Plans and Policies set forth on Section 6.17(e) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule 

as modified thereon, and all assets, trusts, insurance policies and other Contracts relating 

thereto, except for any that do not comply in all respects with TARP or as otherwise 

provided in Section 6.17(h) and (ii) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies, 

agreements or arrangements (whether written or oral) in which Employees who are 

covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement participate and all assets, trusts, 

insurance and other Contracts relating thereto (the “Assumed Plans”), for the benefit of 

the Transferred Employees and Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other to 

take all actions and execute and deliver all documents and furnish all notices necessary to 

establish Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as the sponsor of such Assumed Plans 

including all assets, trusts, insurance policies and other Contracts relating thereto. Other 

than with respect to any Employee who was or is covered by the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement, Purchaser shall have no Liability with respect to any 

modifications or changes to Benefit Plans contemplated by Section 6.17(e) of the Sellers’ 

Disclosure Schedule, or changes made by Parent prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser 

shall not assume any Liability with respect to any such decisions or actions related 

thereto, and Purchaser shall only assume the Liabilities for benefits provided pursuant to 

the written terms and conditions of the Assumed Plan as of the Closing Date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the assumption of the Assumed Plans is subject to 

Purchaser taking all necessary action, including reduction of benefits, to ensure that the 

Assumed Plans comply in all respects with TARP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but 

subject to the terms of any Collective Bargaining Agreement to which Purchaser or one 

of its Affiliates is a party, Purchaser and its Affiliates may, in its sole discretion, amend, 

suspend or terminate any such Assumed Plan at any time in accordance with its terms. 

(f) UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement. Parent shall assume and assign to 

Purchaser, as of the Closing, the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and all rights 

and Liabilities of Parent relating thereto (including Liabilities for wages, benefits and 

other compensation, unfair labor practices, grievances, arbitrations and contractual 

obligations). With respect to the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement, Purchaser 

agrees to (i) recognize the UAW as the exclusive collective bargaining representative for 

the Transferred Employees covered by the terms of the UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement, (ii) offer employment to all Applicable Employees covered by the UAW 

Collective Bargaining Agreement with full recognition of all seniority rights, (iii) 

negotiate with the UAW over the terms of any successor collective bargaining agreement 

upon the expiration of the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement and upon timely 
 -77- 

demand by the UAW, (iv) with the agreement of the UAW or otherwise as provided by 

Law and to the extent necessary, adopt or assume or replace, effective as of the Closing 

Date, employee benefit plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangements specified 

in or covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement as required to be provided 

to the Transferred Employees covered by the UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement, 

and (v) otherwise abide by all terms and conditions of the UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.17(f) are not 

intended to (A) give, and shall not be construed as giving, the UAW or any Transferred 

Employee any enhanced or additional rights or (B) otherwise restrict the rights that 

Purchaser and its Affiliates have, under the terms of the UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement. 

(g) UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser and 

the UAW shall have entered into the UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement.

(h) Assumption of Existing Internal VEBA. Purchaser or one of its Affiliates 

shall, effective as of the Closing Date, assume from Sellers the sponsorship of the 

voluntary employees’ beneficiary association trust between Sellers and State Street Bank 

and Trust Company dated as of December 17, 1997, that is funded and maintained by 

Sellers (“Existing Internal VEBA”) and, in connection therewith, Purchaser shall, or shall 

cause one of its Affiliates to, (i) succeed to all of the rights, title and interest (including 

the rights of Sellers, if any) as plan sponsor, plan administrator or employer) under the 

Existing Internal VEBA, (ii) assume any responsibility or Liability relating to the 

Existing Internal VEBA and each Contract established thereunder or relating thereto, and 

(iii) to operate the Existing Internal VEBA in accordance with, and to otherwise comply 

with the Purchaser’s obligations under, the New UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement 

between Purchaser and the UAW, effective as of the Closing and subject to approval by a 

court having jurisdiction over this matter, including the obligation to direct the trustee of 

the Existing Internal VEBA to transfer the UAW’s share of assets in the Existing Internal 

VEBA to the New VEBA. The Parties shall cooperate in the execution of any 

documents, the adoption of any corporate resolutions or the taking of any other 

reasonable actions to effectuate such succession of the settlor rights, title, and interest 

with respect to the Existing Internal VEBA. For avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not 

assume any Liabilities relating to the Existing Internal VEBA except with respect to such 

Contracts set forth in Section 6.17(h) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule.

(i) Wage and Tax Reporting. Sellers and Purchaser agree to apply, and cause 

their Affiliates to apply, the standard procedure for successor employers set forth in 

Revenue Procedure 2004-53 for wage and employment Tax reporting. 

(j) Non-solicitation. Sellers shall not, for a period of two (2) years from the 

Closing Date, without Purchaser’s written consent, solicit, offer employment to or hire 

any Transferred Employee. 

(k) Cooperation. Purchaser and Sellers shall provide each other with such 

records and information as may be reasonably necessary, appropriate and permitted under 

applicable Law to carry out their obligations under this Section 6.17; provided, that all 
 -78- 

records, information systems data bases, computer programs, data rooms and data related 

to any Assumed Plan or Liabilities of such, assumed by Purchaser, shall be transferred to 

Purchaser. 

(l) Union Notifications. Purchaser and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate 

with each other in connection with any notification required by Law to, or any required 

consultation with, or the provision of documents and information to, the employees, 

employee representatives, the UAW and relevant Governmental Authorities and 

governmental officials concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, 

including any notice to any of Sellers’ retired Employees represented by the UAW, 

describing the transactions contemplated herein. 

(m) Union-Represented Employees (Non-UAW). 

(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates 

shall assume the collective bargaining agreements, as amended, set forth on 

Section 6.17(m)(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “NonUAW Collective Bargaining Agreements”) and make offers of employment to 

each current employee of Parent who is covered by them in accordance with the 

applicable terms and conditions of such Non-UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreements, such assumption and offers conditioned upon (A) the non-UAW 

represented employees’ ratification of the amendments thereto (including 

termination of the application of the Supplemental Agreements Covering Health 

Care Program to retirees and the reduction to retiree life insurance coverage) and 

(B) Bankruptcy Court approval of Settlement Agreements between Purchaser and 

such Unions and Proposed Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Retiree 

Health Care and Life Insurance between Sellers and such Unions, as identified on 

Section 6.17(m)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule and satisfaction of all 

conditions stated therein. Each such non-UAW hourly employee on layoff status, 

leave status or with recall rights as of the Closing Date shall continue in such 

status and/or retain such rights after the Closing in the Ordinary Course of 

Business, subject to the terms of the applicable Non-UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement. Other than as set forth in this Section 6.17(m), no non-UAW 

collective bargaining agreement shall be assumed by Purchaser. 

(ii) Section 6.17(m)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule sets forth 

agreements relating to post-retirement health care and life insurance coverage for 

non-UAW retired employees (the “Non-UAW Settlement Agreements”), 

including those agreements covering retirees who once belonged to Unions that 

no longer have any active employees at Sellers. Conditioned on both the approval 

of the Bankruptcy Court and the non-UAW represented employees’ ratification of 

the amendments to the applicable Non-UAW Collective Bargaining Agreement 

providing for such coverage as described in Section 6.17(m)(i) above, Purchaser 

or one of its Affiliates shall assume and enter into the agreements identified on 

Section 6.17(m)(ii) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth in 

those agreements identified on Section 6.17(m)(i) and Section 6.17(m)(ii) of the 

Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, Purchaser shall not assume any Liability to provide 
 -79- 

post-retirement health care or life insurance coverage for current or future hourly 

non-UAW retirees. 

(iii) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 6.17(m), Purchaser 

assumes no Employment-Related Obligations for non-UAW hourly Employees. 

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the provisions of Section 6.17(f) shall not apply 

to this Section 6.17(m) and (B) the provisions of this Section 6.17(m) are not 

intended to (y) give, and shall not be construed as giving, any non-UAW Union or 

the covered employee or retiree of any Non-UAW Collective Bargaining 

Agreement any enhanced or additional rights or (z) otherwise restrict the rights 

that Purchaser and its Affiliates have under the terms of the Non-UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreements identified on Section 6.17(m)(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure 

Schedule. 

Section 6.18 TARP. From and after the date hereof and until such time as all 

amounts under the UST Credit Facilities have been paid in full, forgiven or otherwise 

extinguished or such longer period as may be required by Law, subject to any applicable Order 

of the Bankruptcy Court, each of Sellers and Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of their 

respective Subsidiaries to, take all necessary action to ensure that it complies in all material 

respects with TARP or any enhanced restrictions on executive compensation agreed to by Sellers 

and Sponsor prior to the Closing. 

Section 6.19 Guarantees; Letters of Credit. Purchaser shall use its reasonable 

best efforts to cause Purchaser or one or more of its Subsidiaries to be substituted in all respects 

for each Seller and Excluded Entity, effective as of the Closing Date, in respect of all Liabilities 

of each Seller and Excluded Entity under each of the guarantees, letters of credit, letters of 

comfort, bid bonds and performance bonds (a) obtained by any Seller or Excluded Entity for the 

benefit of the business of Sellers and their Subsidiaries and (b) which is assumed by Purchaser as 

an Assumed Liability. As a result of such substitution, each Seller and Excluded Entity shall be 

released of its obligations of, and shall have no Liability following the Closing from, or in 

connection with any such guarantees, letters of credit, letters of comfort, bid bonds and 

performance bonds. 

Section 6.20 Customs Duties. Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for all customsrelated duties, fees and associated costs incurred by Sellers on behalf of Purchaser with respect to 

periods following the Closing, including all such duties, fees and costs incurred in connection 

with co-loaded containers that clear customs intentionally or unintentionally under any Seller’s 

importer or exporter identification numbers and bonds or guarantees with respect to periods 

following the Closing. 

Section 6.21 Termination of Intellectual Property Rights. Each Seller agrees 

that any rights of any Seller, including any rights arising under Contracts, if any, to any and all of 

the Intellectual Property transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (including indirect 

transfers resulting from the transfer of the Transferred Equity Interests and including transfers 

resulting from this Section 6.21), whether owned or licensed, shall terminate as of the Closing. 

Before and after the Closing, each Seller agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the 

Retained Subsidiaries to do the following, but only to the extent that such Seller can do so 
 -80- 

without incurring any Liabilities to such Retained Subsidiaries or their equity owners or creditors 

as a result thereof: (a) enter into a written Contract with Purchaser that expressly terminates any 

rights of such Retained Subsidiaries, including any rights arising under Contracts, if any, to any 

and all of the Intellectual Property transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (including 

indirect transfers resulting from the transfer of the Transferred Equity Interests), whether owned 

or licensed; and (b) assign to Purchaser or its designee(s): (i) all domestic and foreign 

trademarks, service marks, collective marks, certification marks, trade dress, trade names, 

business names, d/b/a’s, Internet domain names, designs, logos and other source or business 

identifiers and all general intangibles of like nature, now or hereafter owned, adopted, used, 

acquired, or licensed by any Seller, all applications, registrations and recordings thereof 

(including applications, registrations and recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark 

Office or in any similar office or agency of the United States, any state thereof or any other 

country or any political subdivision thereof), and all reissues, extensions or renewals thereof, 

together with all goodwill of the business symbolized by or associated with such marks, in each 

case, that are owned by such Retained Subsidiaries and that contain or are confusingly similar 

with (whether in whole or in part) any of the Trademarks; and (ii) all other intellectual property 

owned by such Retained Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 6.21 shall preserve any rights of 

Sellers or the Retained Subsidiaries, or any third parties, that are otherwise terminated or 

extinguished pursuant to this Agreement or applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 6.21

shall create any rights of Sellers or the Retained Subsidiaries, or any third parties, that do not 

already exist as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 

6.21, Sellers may enter into (and may cause or permit any of the Purchased Subsidiaries to enter 

into) any of the transactions contemplated by Section 6.2 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. 

Section 6.22 Trademarks. 

(a) At or before the Closing (i) Parent shall take any and all actions that are 

reasonably necessary to change the corporate name of Parent to a new name that bears no 

resemblance to Parent’s present corporate name and that does not contain, and is not 

confusingly similar with, any of the Trademarks; and (ii) to the extent that the corporate 

name of any Seller (other than Parent) or any Retained Subsidiary resembles Parent’s 

present corporate name or contains or is confusingly similar with any of the Trademarks, 

Sellers (including Parent) shall take any and all actions that are reasonably necessary to 

change such corporate names to new names that bear no resemblance to Parent’s present 

corporate name, and that do not contain and are not confusingly similar with any of the 

Trademarks. 

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing, but in no event later 

than ninety (90) days after the Closing (except as set forth in this Section 6.22(b)), 

Sellers shall cease, and shall cause the Retained Subsidiaries to cease, using the 

Trademarks in any form, whether by removing, permanently obliterating, covering, or 

otherwise eliminating all Trademarks that appear on any of their assets, including all 

signs, promotional or advertising literature, labels, stationery, business cards, office 

forms and packaging materials. During such time period, Sellers and the Retained 

Subsidiaries may continue to use Trademarks in a manner consistent with their usage of 

the Trademarks as of immediately prior to the Closing, but only to the extent reasonably 

necessary for them to continue their operations as contemplated by the Parties as of the 
 -81- 

Closing. If requested by Purchaser within a reasonable time after the Closing, Sellers and 

Retained Subsidiaries shall enter into a written agreement that specifies quality control of 

such Trademarks and their underlying goods and services. For signs and the like that 

exist as of the Closing on the Excluded Real Property, if it is not reasonably practicable 

for Sellers or the Retained Subsidiaries to remove, permanently obliterate, cover or 

otherwise eliminate the Trademarks from such signs and the like within the time period 

specified above, then Sellers and the Retained Subsidiaries shall do so as soon as 

practicable following such time period, but in no event later than one-hundred eighty 

(180) days following the Closing. 

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement and, until the earlier of the 

Closing or termination of this Agreement, each Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts 

to protect and maintain the Intellectual Property owned by Sellers that is material to the 

conduct of its business in a manner that is consistent with the value of such Intellectual 

Property. 

(d) At or prior to the Closing, Sellers shall provide a true, correct and 

complete list setting forth all worldwide patents, patent applications, trademark 

registrations and applications and copyright registrations and applications included in the 

Intellectual Property owned by Sellers. 

Section 6.23 Preservation of Records. The Parties shall preserve and keep all 

books and records that they own immediately after the Closing relating to the Purchased Assets, 

the Assumed Liabilities and Sellers’ operation of the business related thereto prior to the Closing 

for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date or for such longer period as may be 

required by applicable Law, unless disposed of in good faith pursuant to a document retention 

policy. During such retention period, duly authorized Representatives of a Party shall, upon 

reasonable notice, have reasonable access during normal business hours to examine, inspect and 

copy such books and records held by the other Parties for any proper purpose, except as may be 

prohibited by Law or by the terms of any Contract (including any confidentiality agreement); 

provided that to the extent that disclosing any such information would reasonably be expected to 

constitute a waiver of attorney-client, work product or other legal privilege with respect thereto, 

the Parties shall take all reasonable best efforts to permit such disclosure without the waiver of 

any such privilege, including entering into an appropriate joint defense agreement in connection 

with affording access to such information. The access provided pursuant to this Section 6.23

shall be subject to such additional confidentiality provisions as the disclosing Party may 

reasonably deem necessary. 

Section 6.24 Confidentiality. During the Confidentiality Period, Sellers and 

their Affiliates shall treat all trade secrets and all other proprietary, legally privileged or sensitive 

information related to the Transferred Entities, the Purchased Assets and/or the Assumed 

Liabilities (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), whether furnished before or after the 

Closing, whether documentary, electronic or oral, labeled or otherwise identified as confidential, 

and regardless of the form of communication or the manner in which it is or was furnished, as 

confidential, preserve the confidentiality thereof, not use or disclose to any Person such 

Confidential Information and instruct their Representatives who have had access to such 

information to keep confidential such Confidential Information. The “Confidentiality Period” 
 -82- 

shall be a period commencing on the date of the Original Agreement and (a) with respect to a 

trade secret, continuing for as long as it remains a trade secret and (b) for all other Confidential 

Information, ending four (4) years from the Closing Date. Confidential Information shall be 

deemed not to include any information that (i) is now available to or is hereafter disclosed in a 

manner making it available to the general public, in each case, through no act or omission of 

Sellers, any of their Affiliates or any of their Representatives, or (ii) is required by Law to be 

disclosed, including any applicable requirements of the SEC or any other Governmental 

Authority responsible for securities Law regulation and compliance or any stock market or stock 

exchange on which any Seller’s securities are listed. 

Section 6.25 Privacy Policies. At or prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall, or 

shall cause its Subsidiaries to, establish Privacy Policies that are substantially similar to the 

Privacy Policies of Parent and the Purchased Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing, 

and Purchaser or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall honor all “opt-out” requests or preferences 

made by individuals in accordance with the Privacy Policies of Parent and the Purchased 

Subsidiaries and applicable Law; provided that such Privacy Policies and any related “opt-out” 

requests or preferences are delivered or otherwise made available to Purchaser prior to the 

Closing, to the extent not publicly available. 

Section 6.26 Supplements to Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. At any time and 

from time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers shall have the right to supplement, modify or 

update Section 4.1 through Section 4.22 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (a) to reflect changes 

and developments that have arisen after the date of the Original Agreement and that, if they 

existed prior to the date of the Original Agreement, would have been required to be set forth on 

such Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule or (b) as may be necessary to correct any disclosures 

contained in such Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule or in any representation and warranty of Sellers 

that has been rendered inaccurate by such changes or developments. No supplement, 

modification or amendment to Section 4.1 through Section 4.22 of the Sellers’ Disclosure 

Schedule shall without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (i) cure any inaccuracy of any 

representation and warranty made in this Agreement by Sellers or (ii) give rise to Purchaser’s 

right to terminate this Agreement unless and until this Agreement shall be terminable by 

Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.1(f). 

Section 6.27 Real Property Matters. 

(a) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that certain real properties (the 

“Subdivision Properties”) may need to be subdivided or otherwise legally partitioned in 

accordance with applicable Law (a “Required Subdivision”) so as to permit the affected 

Owned Real Property to be conveyed to Purchaser separate and apart from adjacent 

Excluded Real Property. Section 6.27 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule contains a list 

of the Subdivision Properties that was determined based on the current list of Excluded 

Real Property. Section 6.27 of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule may be updated at any 

time prior to the Closing to either (i) add additional Subdivision Properties or (ii) remove 

any Subdivision Properties, which have been determined to not require a Required 

Subdivision or for which a Required Subdivision has been obtained. Purchaser shall pay 

for all costs incurred to complete all Required Subdivisions. Sellers shall cooperate in 

good faith with Purchaser in connection with the completion with all Required 
 -83- 

Subdivisions, including executing all required applications or other similar documents 

with Governmental Authorities. To the extent that any Required Subdivision for a 

Subdivision Property is not completed prior to Closing, then at Closing, Sellers shall 

lease to Purchaser only that portion of such Subdivision Property that constitutes Owned 

Real Property pursuant to the Master Lease Agreement (Subdivision Properties) 

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (the “Subdivision Master Lease”). 

Upon completion of a Required Subdivision affecting an Owned Real Property that is 

subject to the Subdivision Master Lease, the Subdivision Master Lease shall be 

terminated as to such Owned Real Property and such Owned Real Property shall be 

conveyed to Purchaser by Quitclaim Deed for One Dollar ($1.00) in stated consideration. 

(b) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that the Saginaw Nodular Iron facility 

in Saginaw, Michigan (the “Saginaw Nodular Iron Land”) contains a wastewater 

treatment facility (the “Existing Saginaw Wastewater Facility”) and a landfill (the 

“Saginaw Landfill”) that currently serve the Owned Real Property commonly known as 

the GMPT - Saginaw Metal Casting facility (the “Saginaw Metal Casting Land”). The 

Saginaw Nodular Iron Land has been designated as an Excluded Real Property under 

Section 2.2(b)(v) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. At the Closing (or within sixty 

(60) days after the Closing with respect to the Saginaw Landfill), Sellers shall enter into 

one or more service agreements with one or more third party contractors (collectively, the 

“Saginaw Service Contracts”) to operate the Existing Saginaw Wastewater Facility and 

the Saginaw Landfill for the benefit of the Saginaw Metal Casting Land. The terms and 

conditions of the Saginaw Service Contracts shall be mutually acceptable to Purchaser 

and Sellers; provided that the term of each Saginaw Service Contract shall not extend 

beyond December 31, 2012, and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate any Saginaw 

Service Contract upon prior written notice of not less than forty-five (45) days. At any 

time during the term of the Saginaw Service Contracts, Purchaser may elect to purchase 

the Existing Saginaw Wastewater Facility, the Saginaw Landfill, or both, for One Dollar 

($1.00) in stated consideration; provided that (i) Purchaser shall pay all costs and fees 

related to such purchase, including the costs of completing any Required Subdivision 

necessary to effectuate the terms of this Section 6.27(b), (ii) Sellers shall convey title to 

the Existing Saginaw Wastewater Facility, the Saginaw Landfill and/or such other portion 

of the Saginaw Nodular Iron Land as is required by Purchaser to operate the Existing 

Saginaw Wastewater Facility and/or the Saginaw Landfill, including lagoons, but not any 

other portion of the Saginaw Nodular Iron Land, to Purchaser by quitclaim deed and (iii) 

Sellers shall grant Purchaser such easements for utilities over the portion of the Saginaw 

Nodular Iron Land retained by Sellers as may be required to operate the Existing Saginaw 

Wastewater Facility and/or the Saginaw Landfill. 

(c) Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that access to certain Excluded Real 

Property owned by Sellers or other real properties owned by Excluded Entities and 

certain Owned Real Property that may hereafter be designated as Excluded Real Property 

on Section 2.2(b)(v) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule (a “Landlocked Parcel”) is 

provided over land that is part of the Owned Real Property. To the extent that direct 

access to a public right-of-way is not obtained for any Landlocked Parcel by the Closing, 

then at Closing, Purchaser, in its sole election, shall for each such Landlocked Parcel 

either (i) grant an access easement over a mutually agreeable portion of the adjacent 
 -84- 

Owned Real Property for the benefit of the Landlocked Parcel until such time as the 

Landlocked Parcel obtains direct access to the public right-of-way, pursuant to the terms 

of a mutually acceptable easement agreement, or (ii) convey to the owner of the affected 

Landlocked Parcel by quitclaim deed such portion of the adjacent Owned Real Property 

as is required to provide the Landlocked Parcel with direct access to a public right-ofway. 

(d) At and after Closing, Sellers and Purchasers shall cooperate in good faith 

to investigate and resolve all issues reasonably related to or arising in connection with 

Shared Executory Contracts that involve the provision of water, water treatment, 

electricity, fuel, gas, telephone and other utilities to both Owned Real Property and 

Excluded Real Property. 

(e) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Willow Run Landlord 

to execute, within thirty (30) days after the Closing, or at such later date as may be 

mutually agreed upon, an amendment to the Willow Run Lease which extends the term of 

the Willow Run Lease until December 31, 2010 with three (3) one-month options to 

extend, all at the current rental rate under the Willow Run Lease (the “Willow Run Lease 

Amendment”). In the event that the Willow Run Lease Amendment is approved and 

executed by the Willow Run Landlord, then Purchaser shall designate the Willow Run 

Lease as an Assumable Executory Contract and Parent and Purchaser, or one of its 

designated Subsidiaries, shall enter into an assignment and assumption of the Willow 

Run Lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Assignment and 

Assumption of Willow Run Lease”). 

Section 6.28 Equity Incentive Plans. Within a reasonable period of time 

following the Closing, Purchaser, through its board of directors, will adopt equity incentive plans 

to be maintained by Purchaser for the benefit of officers, directors, and employees of Purchaser 

that will provide the opportunity for equity incentive benefits for such persons (“Equity Incentive 

Plans”). 

Section 6.29 Purchase of Personal Property Subject to Executory Contracts. 

With respect to any Personal Property subject to an Executory Contract that is nominally an 

unexpired lease of Personal Property, if (a) such Contract is recharacterized by a Final Order of 

the Bankruptcy Court as a secured financing or (b) Purchaser, Sellers and the counterparty to 

such Contract agree, then Purchaser shall have the option to purchase such personal property by 

paying to the applicable Seller for the benefit of the counterparty to such Contract an amount 

equal to the amount, as applicable (i) of such counterparty’s allowed secured Claim arising in 

connection with the recharacterization of such Contract as determined by such Order or (ii) 

agreed to by Purchaser, Sellers and such counterparty. 

Section 6.30 Transfer of Riverfront Holdings, Inc. Equity Interests or Purchased 

Assets; Ren Cen Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in

title to, or a valid and enforceable right by Contract to use, all or any portion of the assets of RHI 
 -85-

transfer of Sellers’ Equity Interest in RHI and/or title to the assets of RHI to Purchaser up until 

the earlier of (i) January 31, 2010 and (ii) the Business Day immediately prior to the date of the 

confirmation hearing for Sellers’ plan of liquidation or reorganization (the “RHI Post-Closing 

Period”); provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may cause Sellers to effectuate said transfers at 

any time and from time to time during the RHI-Post Closing Period upon at least five (5) 

Business Days’ prior written notice to Sellers and (b) at the closing, RHI, as landlord, and

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Ren Cen Lease”) for the premises 

described therein.

this Agreement, including Section 6.6: 

(a) Subject to and simultaneously with the consummation of the transactions 

contemplated by the MDA or of an Acceptable Alternative Transaction (in each case, as 

defined in the Delphi Motion), (i) the Delphi Transaction Agreements shall, effective 

immediately upon and simultaneously with such consummation, (A) be deemed to be 

Assumable Executory Contracts and (B) be assumed and assigned to Purchaser and (ii) 

the Assumption Effective Date with respect thereto shall be deemed to be the date of such

in this Agreement, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that following the consummation 

of such restructuring at any time prior to the Closing, GM Strasbourg S.A. shall automatically,

provided in this Agreement, including Section 8.2(b), Purchaser, on the one hand, and each 

Seller, on the other hand, shall bear its own fees, costs and expenses, including fees and 

disbursements of counsel, financial advisors, investment bankers, accountants and other agents

Section 9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests 

or obligations provided by this Agreement may be assigned or delegated by any Party (whether 

by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any 

such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void; 

provided, however, that, without the consent of Sellers, Purchaser may assign or direct the 

transfer on its behalf on or prior to the Closing of all, or any portion, of its rights to purchase, 

accept and acquire the Purchased Assets and its obligations to assume and thereafter pay or 

perform as and when due, or otherwise discharge, the Assumed Liabilities, to Holding Company 

or one or more newly-formed, direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Holding 

Company or Purchaser; provided, further, that no such assignment or delegation shall relieve 

Purchaser of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence and 

except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to 

the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 -98-

or conditions contained herein (to the extent permitted by Law). Any such waiver or extension 

by a Party (i) shall be valid only if, and to the extent, set forth in a written instrument signed by a 

duly authorized representative or officer of the Party to be bound and (ii) shall not constitute, or 

be construed as, a continuing waiver of such provision, or a waiver of any other breach of, or

instances of a Party to insist upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of 

this Agreement, to exercise any right or privilege in this Agreement conferred, or the waiver by 

said Party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall not 

be construed as a subsequent waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other terms, covenants, 

conditions, rights or privileges, but the same will continue and remain in full force and effect as 

if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred. 

Section 9.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each term and provision of this 

Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law.

circumstance, is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision 

shall be substituted therefore in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, 

the intent and purpose of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder 

of this Agreement or such term or provision and the application of such term or provision to 

other Persons or circumstances shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by 

such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect 

the legality, validity or enforceability of such term or provision, or the application thereof, in any 

jurisdiction. 

Section 9.9 Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in 

one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken 

together shall constitute one and the same agreement. All signatures of the Parties may be 

transmitted by facsimile or electronic delivery, and each such facsimile signature or electronic 

delivery signature (including a pdf signature) will, for all purposes, be deemed to be the original

implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, 

other than the Parties, their Affiliates and their respective permitted successors or assigns, any 

legal or equitable Claims, benefits, rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by 

reason of this Agreement. 

Section 9.12 Governing Law. The construction, interpretation and other matters 

arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort, equity or 

otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by and construed (a) to the extent applicable, in

applicable, in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to rules 

governing the conflict of laws. 

Section 9.13 Venue and Retention of Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably and 

unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any litigation

(and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in the Bankruptcy Court, other 

than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award 

rendered by any such court as described herein); provided, however, that this Section 9.13 shall 

not be applicable in the event the Bankruptcy Cases have closed, in which case the Parties 

irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts in the 

Southern District of New York and state courts of the State of New York located in the Borough 

of Manhattan in the City of New York for any litigation arising out of or in connection with this 

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and agree not to commence any litigation 

relating thereto except in the federal courts in the Southern District of New York and state courts

than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award 

rendered by any such court as described herein). 

Section 9.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO 

A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS 

AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTERS DESCRIBED OR CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, AND

EFFECT SUCH WAIVER. 

Section 9.15 Risk of Loss. Prior to the Closing, all risk of loss, damage or 

destruction to all or any part of the Purchased Assets shall be borne exclusively by Sellers. 

Section 9.16 Enforcement of Agreement. The Parties agree that irreparable 

damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in 

accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the 
 -100- 

Parties shall, without the posting of a bond, be entitled, subject to a determination by a court of 

competent jurisdiction, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any such failure of performance 

under, or breaches of, this Agreement, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions 

hereof and thereof, this being in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, and 

each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the 

requesting Party has an adequate remedy at law. 

Section 9.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Ancillary 

Agreements, the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits) contains the final, exclusive and 

entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and 

thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether 

written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Neither 

this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed to contain or imply any restriction, 

covenant, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking of any Party with respect to the 

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than those expressly set forth herein or 

therein, and none shall be deemed to exist or be inferred with respect to the subject matter 

hereof. 

Section 9.18 Publicity. Prior to the first public announcement of this 

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on 

the other hand, shall consult with each other regarding, and share with each other copies of, their 

respective communications plans, including draft press releases and related materials, with 

regard to such announcement. Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or 

public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby 

without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party or Parties, as applicable, which 

approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment 

of the Party intending to make such release, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law, 

or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in 

connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which 

Purchaser or Sellers list securities; provided, that the Party intending to make such release shall 

use reasonable best efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement 

to consult with the other Party or Parties, as applicable, with respect to the text thereof; provided, 

further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, no Party shall be 

prohibited from publishing, disseminating or otherwise making public, without the prior written 

approval of the other Party or Parties, as applicable, any materials that are derived from or 

consistent with the materials included in the communications plan referred to above. In an effort 

to coordinate consistent communications, the Parties shall agree upon procedures relating to all 

press releases and public announcements concerning this Agreement and the transactions 

contemplated hereby. 

Section 9.19 No Successor or Transferee Liability. Except where expressly 

prohibited under applicable Law or otherwise expressly ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, upon 

the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or stockholders shall be deemed to (a) be 

the successor of Sellers; (b) have, de facto, or otherwise, merged with or into Sellers; (c) be a 

mere continuation or substantial continuation of Sellers or the enterprise(s) of Sellers; or (d) 

other than as set forth in this Agreement, be liable for any acts or omissions of Sellers in the 

conduct of Sellers’ business or arising under or related to the Purchased Assets. Without limiting 
 -101- 

the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither 

Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or stockholders shall be liable for any Claims against Sellers 

or any of their predecessors or Affiliates, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates or 

stockholders shall have any successor, transferee or vicarious Liability of any kind or character 

whether known or unknown as of the Closing, whether now existing or hereafter arising, or 

whether fixed or contingent, with respect to Sellers’ business or any obligations of Sellers arising 

prior to the Closing, except as provided in this Agreement, including Liabilities on account of 

any Taxes arising, accruing, or payable under, out of, in connection with, or in any way relating 

to the operation of Sellers’ business prior to the Closing. 

Section 9.20 Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, an 

action required under this Agreement to be taken within a certain number of days or any other 

time period specified herein shall be taken within the applicable number of calendar days (and 

not Business Days); provided, however, that if the last day for taking such action falls on a day 

that is not a Business Day, the period during which such action may be taken shall be 

automatically extended to the next Business Day. 

Section 9.21 Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. The representations and warranties 

of Sellers set forth in this Agreement are made and given subject to the disclosures contained in 

the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule. Inclusion of information in the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule 

shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, 

operations or condition of the business of Sellers, the Purchased Assets or the Assumed 

Liabilities, taken in part or as a whole, or as an admission of Liability of any Seller to any third 

party. The specific disclosures set forth in the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule have been organized 

to correspond to Section references in this Agreement to which the disclosure may be most likely 

to relate; provided, however, that any disclosure in the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule shall apply 

to, and shall be deemed to be disclosed for, any other Section of this Agreement to the extent the 

relevance of such disclosure to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face. 

Section 9.22 No Binding Effect. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to 

the contrary, no provision of this Agreement shall (i) be binding on or create any obligation on 

the part of Sponsor, the United States Government or any branch, agency or political subdivision 

thereof (a “Sponsor Affiliate”) or the Government of Canada, or any crown corporation, agency 

or department thereof (a “Canada Affiliate”) or (ii) require Purchaser to initiate any Claim or 

other action against Sponsor or any Sponsor Affiliate or otherwise attempt to cause Sponsor, any 

Sponsor Affiliate, Government of Canada or any Canada Affiliate to comply with or abide by the 

terms of this Agreement. No facts, materials or other information received or action taken by 

any Person who is an officer, director or agent of Purchaser by virtue of such Person’s affiliation 

with or employment by Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, Government of Canada or any Canada 

Affiliate shall be attributed to Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement or shall form the basis of 

any claim against such Person in their individual capacity.

(2) Liabilities arising under any dealer sales and service Contract and any

Contract related thereto, to the extent such Contract has been designated as
a Rejectable Executory Contract, and (3) Liabilities otherwise assumed in

this Section 2.3(a);

(b) Section 2.3(a)(ix) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in

its entirety to read as follows:

other injury to Persons or damage to property caused by motor vehicles

designed for operation on public roadways or by the component parts of

such motor vehicles and, in each case, manufactured, sold or delivered by

Sellers (collectively, "Product Liabilities"), which arise directly out of

death, personal injury or other injury to Persons or damage to property

caused by accidents or incidents first occurring on or after the Closing

Date and arising from such motor vehicles' operation or performance (for

avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not assume, or become liable to pay,

perform or discharge, any Liability arising or contended to arise by reason

including asbestos, silicates or fluids, regardless of when such alleged

its entirety to read as follows:

(xii) all workers' compensation Claims with respect to

Employees residing or employed in, as the case may be and as defined by

entirety to read as follows:

(d) All Assumable Executory Contracts shall be assumed and assigned

to Purchaser on the date (the "Assumption Effective Date") that is the later of (i)

the date designated by the Purchaser and (ii) the date following expiration of the

objection deadline if no objection, other than to the Cure Amount, has been timely

filed or the date of resolution of any objection unrelated to Cure Amount, as

provided in the Sale Procedures Order; provided, however, that in the case of each

(A) Assumable Executory Contract identified on Section 6.6(a)(i) of the Sellers'

Disclosure Schedule, (2) Deferred Termination Agreement (and the related

Discontinued Brand Dealer Agreement or Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement)

2
designated as an Assumable Executory Contract and (3) Participation Agreement

(and the related Continuing Brand Dealer Agreement) designated as an

Assumable Executory Contract, the Assumption Effective Date shall be the

Closing Date and (B) Assumable Executory Contract identified on Section

6.6(a)(ii) of the Sellers' Disclosure Schedule, the Assumption Effective Date shall

be a date that is no later than the date set forth with respect to such Executory

Contract on Section 6.6(a)(ii) of the Sellers' Disclosure Schedule. As soon as

reasonably practicable following a determination that an Executory Contract shall

be designated as an Assumable Executory Contract hereunder, Sellers shall use

reasonable best efforts to notify each third party to such Executory Contract of

their intention to assume and assign such Executory Contract in accordance with

the terms of this Agreement and the Sale Procedures Order. On the Assumption

Effective Date for any Assumable Executory Contract, such Assumable

Executory Contract shall be deemed to be a Purchased Contract hereunder. If it is

determined under the procedures set forth in the Sale Procedures Order that

Sellers may not assume and assign to Purchaser any Assumable Executory

Contract, such Executory Contract shall cease to be an Assumable Executory

Contract and shall be an Excluded Contract and a Rejectable Executory Contract.

Except as provided in Section 6.31, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary

herein, any Executory Contract that has not been specifically designated as an

Assumable Executory Contract as of the Executory Contract Designation

Deadline applicable to such Executory Contract, including any Deferred

Executory Contract, shall automatically be deemed to be a Rejectable Executory

Contract and an Excluded Contract hereunder. Sellers shall have the right, but not

the obligation, to reject, at any time, any Rejectable Executory Contract;

provided, however, that Sellers shall not reject any Contract that affects both

Owned Real Prope11y and Excluded Real Property (whether designated on

Exhibit F or now or hereafter designated on Section 2.2(b)(v) of the

Sellers' Disclosure Schedule), including any such Executory Contract that

.involves the provision of water, water treatment, electric, fuel, gas, telephone and

other utilities to any facilities located at the Excluded Real Property, whether

designated on Exhibit F or now or hereafter designated on Section 2.2(b)(v) of

the Sellers' Disclosure Schedule (the "Shared Executory Contracts"), without the

prior written consent of Purchaser.

Section 3. Effectiveness ofAmendment. Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the

Purchase Agreement shall thereupon be deemed to be amended and restated as set f011h in

 (c) 

 (i) Sellers may, at any time, seek an Order of the Bankruptcy 

Court (the “Claims Estimate Order”), which Order may be the Order confirming 

Sellers’ Chapter 11 plan, estimating the aggregate allowed general unsecured 

claims against Sellers’ estates. If in the Claims Estimate Order, the Bankruptcy 

Court makes a finding that the estimated aggregate allowed general unsecured 

claims against Sellers’ estates exceed $35,000,000,000, then Purchaser will, 

within five (5) Business Days of entry of the Claims Estimate Order, issue 

additional shares of Common Stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) to Parent, as an 

adjustment to the Purchase Price, based on the extent by which such estimated 

aggregate general unsecured claims exceed $35,000,000,000 (such amount, the 

“Excess Estimated Unsecured Claim Amount;” in the event this amount exceeds 

$7,000,000,000 the Excess Estimated Unsecured Claim Amount will be reduced 

to a cap of $7,000,000,000). The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued will 

be equal to the number of shares, rounded up to the next whole share, calculated 

by multiplying (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (adjusted to take into 

account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, 

merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction with respect to the 
7 

Common Stock, effected from and after the Closing and before issuance of the 

Adjustment Shares) and (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is Excess 

Estimated Unsecured Claim Amount (capped at $7,000,000,000) and (B) the 

denominator of which is $7,000,000,000. 

 (ii) At the Closing, Purchaser will have authorized and, 

thereafter, will reserve for issuance the maximum number of shares of Common 

Stock issuable as Adjustment Shares. 

(s) Section 6.9(b) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its 

entirety to read as follows: 

 (b) Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to agree with Sponsor on 

the terms of a restructuring of $1,175,000,000 of Indebtedness accrued under the 

DIP Facility (as restructured, the “Wind Down Facility”) to provide for such 

Wind Down Facility to be non-recourse, to accrue payment-in-kind interest at the 

Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Wind-Down Facility) plus 300 basis points, to 

be secured by all assets of Sellers (other than the Parent Shares, Adjustment 

Shares, Parent Warrants and any securities or proceeds received in respect 

thereof). Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into definitive financing 

agreements with respect to the Wind Down Facility so that such agreements are in 

effect as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the Closing. 

(t) Section 6.17(e) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its 

entirety to read as follows: 

(e) Assumption of Certain Parent Employee Benefit Plans and 

Policies. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall assume 

(i) the Parent Employee Benefit Plans and Policies set forth on Section 6.17(e) of 

the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule as modified thereon, and all assets, trusts, 

insurance policies and other Contracts relating thereto, except for any that do not 

comply in all respects with TARP or as otherwise provided in Section 6.17(h) and 

(ii) all employee benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements 

(whether written or oral) in which Employees who are covered by the UAW 

Collective Bargaining Agreement participate and all assets, trusts, insurance and 

other Contracts relating thereto (collectively, the “Assumed Plans”), and Sellers 

and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other to take all actions and execute and 

deliver all documents and furnish all notices necessary to establish Purchaser or 

one of its Affiliates as the sponsor of such Assumed Plans including all assets, 

trusts, insurance policies and other Contracts relating thereto. Other than with 

respect to any Employee who was or is covered by the UAW Collective 

Bargaining Agreement, Purchaser shall have no Liability with respect to any 

modifications or changes to Benefit Plans contemplated by Section 6.17(e) of the 

Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule, or changes made by Parent prior to the Closing 

Date, and Purchaser shall not assume any Liability with respect to any such 

decisions or actions related thereto, and Purchaser shall only assume the 

Liabilities for benefits provided pursuant to the written terms and conditions of 
8 

the Assumed Plan as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 

assumption of the Assumed Plans is subject to Purchaser taking all necessary 

action, including reduction of benefits, to ensure that the Assumed Plans comply 

in all respects with TARP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the 

terms of any Collective Bargaining Agreement to which Purchaser or one of its 

Affiliates is a party, Purchaser and its Affiliates may, in its sole discretion, amend, 

suspend or terminate any such Assumed Plan at any time in accordance with its 

terms. 

(u) A new Section 6.17(n) is hereby added to the Purchase Agreement to read as 

follows: 

 (n) Harlem Employees. With respect to non-UAW employees of 

Harlem, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates may make offers of employment to such 

individuals at its discretion. With respect to UAW-represented employees of 

Harlem and such other non-UAW employees who accept offers of employment 

with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, in addition to obligations under the UAW 

Collective Bargaining Agreement with respect to UAW-represented employees, 

Purchaser shall assume all Liabilities arising out of, relating to or in connection 

with the salaries and/or wages and vacation of all such individuals that are 

accrued and unpaid (or with respect to vacation, unused) as of the Closing Date. 

With respect to non-UAW employees of Harlem who accept such offers of 

employment, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take all actions necessary 

such that such individuals shall be credited for their actual and credited service 

with Sellers and each of their respective Affiliates, for purposes of eligibility, 

vesting and benefit accrual in any employee benefit plans (excluding equity 

compensation plans or programs) covering such individuals after the Closing; 

provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate 

any benefit to any such individual or the funding for any such benefit. Purchaser 

or one of its Affiliates, in its sole discretion, may assume certain employee benefit 

plans maintained by Harlem by delivering written notice (which such notice shall 

indentify such employee benefit plans of Harlem to be assumed) to Sellers of such 

assumption on or before the Closing, and upon delivery of such notice, such 

employee benefit plans shall automatically be deemed to be set forth on Section 

6.17(e) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedules. All such employee benefit plans that 

are assumed by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to the preceding 

sentence shall be deemed to be Assumed Plans for purposes of this Agreement. 

(v) A new Section 6.36 is hereby added to the Purchase Agreement to read as 

follows: 

Section 6.36 Advanced Technology Credits. The Parties agree that 

Purchaser shall, to the extent permissible by applicable Law (including all rules, 

regulations and policies pertaining to Advanced Technology Projects), be entitled 

to receive full credit for expenditures incurred by Sellers prior to the Closing 

towards Advanced Technology Projects for the purpose of any current or future 

program sponsored by a Governmental Authority providing financial assistance in 
9 

connection with any such project, including any program pursuant to Section 136 

of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (“Advanced Technology 

Credits”), and acknowledge that the Purchase Price includes and represents

and related Encumbrance-release documentation (including, if applicable, UCC-3 

termination statements) with respect to the UST Credit Bid Amount, in a form 

reasonably satisfactory to the Parties and duly executed by Purchaser in 

accordance with the applicable requirements in effect on the date hereof, (ii)
