4. Subject always to the provision of the Business Transfer Agreements the Sellers and the Purchasers intend that, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that, the sale of the Business and Assets of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement is treated as a transfer of a business as a totality of assets (or part thereof) for the purposes of Articles 5 and 6 of the Sixth Directive or any other locally applicable legislation in any EU or non-EU State such that the sale of the assets is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of VAT and consequently no VAT is chargeable on the sale thereof.
5.

7. If the Purchasers pay an amount in respect of VAT and it is subsequently determined by a relevant Tax Authority or any court or tribunal that any such VAT was not chargeable, the relevant Seller shall forthwith notify BWA UK (on behalf of the Purchasers) and shall on demand pay a sum equal to any such amount to the Purchasers.

17. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties to it on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.

18. Further Assurance

The Sellers and the Purchasers agree to perform (or procure the performance of) all further acts and things, and execute and deliver (or procure the execution and delivery of) such further documents, as may be required by law or as the other parties to this Agreement may reasonably require, whether on or after the Completion Date, to implement and/or give effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and for the purpose of vesting in the Purchasers the full benefit of the assets, rights and benefits to be transferred to the Purchasers under or pursuant to this Agreement including, without limitation, the legal and beneficial ownership of the Assets.

7. The Purchasers agree that, should any compensation fall to be assessed for any failure by the Seller to provide employee liability information to the Purchasers in accordance with the UK Transfer Regulations, it would not be just and equitable in all the circumstances for any compensation to be awarded in relation to any Losses in respect of which the Purchasers separately recovers, or is able separately to recover, any compensation under the terms of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 10

Allocation of Consideration

See attached

SCHEDULE 11

Determination and Confirmation of the Inventory Amount

1. THE STOCK TAKE

The Parties shall procure that representatives from each of BWA UK or the relevant Purchaser and GLCC or the relevant Seller shall attend at the premises of the Sellers (or third party contractors) at which the Purchased Inventory is stored in order to undertake a physical inspection of the Purchased Inventory for the purposes of determining the value of such Purchased Inventory in accordance with the principles specified in paragraph 2 of this Schedule 11. Such inspection shall take place on the Completion Date.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The Purchased Inventory shall be valued on a basis consistent with the way in which inventory has been calculated in the Financial Accounts, which is more particularly described below:

1. Purchased Inventory located in the United States

the Purchased Inventory shall be valued on a first-in, first-out basis using Standard Costs plus the Capitalization of Variances

1. "Standard Cost" means the Raw Material Cost plus the Overhead Cost;
2. "Raw Material Cost" means the budgeted purchase cost of the raw materials including all budgeted delivery costs associated with receiving such raw materials into the facility at Adrian, Michigan less any budgeted rebates;
3. "Overhead Cost" means the budgeted costs associated with converting the raw materials into finished goods (including without limitation the costs of water, electricity, maintenance of plant and machinery, employment, supplies and other related costs) in accordance with budgeted production;
4. "Capitalization of Variances" means the capitalization of Variances applicable to on hand inventory computed based on inventory turns; and
5. "Variance" means the difference by which the actual cost of inventory is above or below Budgeted Cost (whether such difference arises as a result of differences in the type of raw materials used, the cost of raw materials, delivery costs, manufacturing costs or otherwise).
2. Purchased Inventory located in the UK, Europe and Shanghai

the Purchased Inventory shall be valued on a first-in, first-out basis using Standard Costs plus the Capitalization of Variances

1. "Standard Cost" means the Raw Material Cost plus the Overhead Cost;
2. "Raw Material Cost" means the budgeted purchase cost of the raw materials including all budgeted delivery costs associated with receiving such raw materials into the relevant facility less any budgeted rebates;
3. "Overhead Cost" means the budgeted costs associated with converting the raw materials into finished goods (including without limitation the costs of water, electricity, maintenance of plant and machinery, employment, supplies and other related costs) in accordance with budgeted production;
4. "Capitalization of Variances" means the capitalization of the latest two months of Variances based on inventory turns; and
5. "Variance" means the difference by which the actual cost of inventory exceeds Budgeted Cost (whether such difference arises as a result of differences in the type of raw materials used, the cost of raw materials, delivery costs, manufacturing costs or otherwise).
3. Purchased Inventory located in Japan

the Purchased Inventory shall be valued on a first-in, first-out basis;

the Purchased Inventory shall be valued at the inter-company invoice price plus all delivery costs associated with receiving such raw materials into Japan including without limitation all costs of in-bound freight, customs duties and inspection charges.

4. Inventory Reserves

The Seller has, on a subjective basis and in accordance with past practice, created reserves against inventory whose utility is deemed to be less than their cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in prices or otherwise. In determining reserves, the Seller takes into account variables such as type of material, feasibility of reworking, potential future sales, value of product, utility to customers importance of specification and shelf life determinants. Inventory in respect of which a reserve for less than full value has been created will constitute Purchased Inventory and shall be valued in accordance with the above provisions less the amount of the reserve.

5. Obsolete Goods

Obsolete goods shall comprise only those finished goods in respect of which a reserve against the full value has been created, as reflected from the books and records of the Sellers' Group. For the avoidance of doubt, obsolete goods are excluded from the Purchased Inventory.

3. PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING INVENTORY AMOUNT
1. Review of the Inventory Amount Statement

As soon as practicable following the physical stock take, GLCC (on behalf of the Sellers) shall prepare the Inventory Amount Statement and shall provide a copy of the same to BWA UK (one behalf of the Purchasers).

2. If BWA UK Disagrees with Calculation

BWA UK (on behalf of the Purchasers) shall, within 15 Business Days of the Inventory Amount Statement being submitted to it, notify GLCC in writing either that it approves of the Inventory Amount Statement or that it disagrees with it in which event BWA UK shall in such notification give details of the matters with which it disagrees and the reasons for such disagreement and shall use all reasonable endeavours forthwith to resolve the matter or matters in dispute with GLCC.

1. Any such joint resolution which enables the Inventory Amount to be agreed shall be expressed in a joint confirmationsigned by both BWA UK (on behalf of the Purchasers) and GLCC (on behalf of the Sellers), stating the Inventory Amount, which confirmation shall immediately be binding on the Purchasers and the Sellers.
2. If no Inventory Amount Joint Resolution shall be issued within 30 Business Days of the Inventory Amount Statement having been submitted to BWA UK, the matter shall be referred to the Independent Accounts appointed in clause 10 of this Agreement which firm shall then determine the matter in dispute and shall confirm the Inventory Amount. The Independent Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators. Their decision shall be communicated in writing to BWA UK and GLCC and shall be final and binding upon the Purchasers and GLCC. BWA UK and GLCC shall be entitled to make representation to the Independent Accountant, with such representations being copied to the other party.
3. For the avoidance of doubt before such referral shall be made to such Independent Accountants, GLCC shall be entitled to review the Inventory Amount Statement in the light of the matters raised by BWA UK and to propose further adjustments to the Inventory Amount Statement for review by the Independent Accountants.
3. Records etc. to be Made Available

GLCC shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that all records, working papers and other information within its possession or control as may be reasonably required by BWA UK and/or the Independent Accountants for the purposes of this schedule shall be made available upon a request for them and shall generally render all reasonable assistance reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Inventory Amount Statement.

4. Meaning of "Inventory Amount Final Confirmation"

For the purposes of this Agreement "Inventory Amount Final Confirmation" shall mean the final confirmation of the Inventory Amount, being either:

1. the confirmation issued by BWA UK pursuant to paragraph 3.2 on agreeing the Inventory Amount Statement in which case the Inventory Amount Final Confirmation shall be treated as being issued five Business Days after the date of its issue by BWA UK; or
2. the Inventory Amount Joint Resolution (if a disagreement shall have been resolved as mentioned in paragraph 3.2(a)) in which case the Inventory Amount Final Confirmation shall be treated as being issued five Business Days after the date upon which the Inventory Amount Joint Resolution has been given; or
3. the decision of the Independent Accountants (if any matter shall be referred to the Independent Accountants as mentioned in paragraph 3.2(b)) in which case the Inventory Amount Final Confirmation shall be treated as being issued five Business Days after the date upon which the decision shall have been given.
5. Meaning of "Inventory Amount Joint Resolution"

For the purposes of this Agreement "Inventory Amount Joint Resolution" shall mean the joint resolution between BWA UK (on behalf of the Purchasers) and GLCC (on behalf of the Sellers) as envisaged in paragraph 3.2(a);

6. Meaning of "Inventory Amount Statement"

For the purposes of this Agreement "Inventory Amount Statement" shall mean the statement showing the calculation of the Purchased Inventory as at the Completion Date to be prepared in accordance with this schedule 11 in order to calculate the value of the Purchased Inventory at the Completion Date.

4. INITIAL CONSIDERATION ADJUSTMENT

The Purchasers and Sellers agree that the Initial Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the accounts receivable and the accounts payable of the Business as at 31 January 2006, being the sum of US$10.185 million.
