make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in
such business plans, with which Buyer is familiar, that Buyer is taking full responsibility for
making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts
and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to Buyer
(including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections,
forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that Buyer has not relied on such
information.

(a) The Parties agree to (i) make a draft joint voluntary notice to CFIUS as
soon as practicable following the Closing and (ii) promptly after responding to any comments
(either written or oral) from the CFIUS staff on the draft joint voluntary notice (or as soon as
possible after CFIUS staff confirms it has no comments to the draft joint voluntary notice), a
joint voluntary notice pursuant to the Exon-Florio Amendment to the Defense Production Act of
1950, 50 U.S.C. § 4565, as amended. Each Party further agrees to, subject to applicable Law
relating to the sharing of information, (A) provide each other as promptly as practicable with
such assistance as each reasonably requests for the purposes of such filings and (B) supply, as
promptly as practicable and advisable (and in any case in the time periods set forth by CFIUS),
any additional information and documentary material that may be required or requested by the
applicable Governmental Authority.
(b) The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain CFIUS
Approval as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement; provided that Buyer
shall not be required to propose, agree to, commit to, effect or accept any Burdensome Condition
if such proposal, agreement, commitment, effect or acceptance is required to obtain the CFIUS
Approval.
(c) Each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use
its reasonable best efforts to cooperate reasonably with each other in connection with any filing
or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in
connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority
relating to the Transactions. The Parties shall jointly develop and agree to a strategy for
obtaining CFIUS Approval and neither Party shall deviate from such mutually agreed approach
without the prior written consent of the other Party. No P arty shall communicate with any
Governmental Authority regarding the CFIUS filing, CFIUS review or investigation, o r other
inquiry without giving the other P arty sufficient prior notice of such communication and the
opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written communication and, with respect to
any oral communication, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, to attend
and/or participate in such conversation or meeting. The Parties shall keep each other timely
apprised of any inquiries or requests for additional information from any Governmental
Authority, and shall comply as promptly as practicable and advisable with any such reasonable
inquiry or request. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Buyer, Parent
and the Company shall n o t have any obligations to share with the other any confidential
business information unrelated to the Transactions, including to the extent such information
is requested by CFIUS.
(d) In connection with, and without limiting or expanding, the obligations set
forth in this Section 5.1, each of the Parties agrees to use, and to cause their Affiliates to use,
reasonable best efforts to consummate the Transactions as expeditiously as possible, including (i)
litigating (or defending) against any administrative or judicial action or proceeding (including
any proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) challenging the
20
Transactions as violative of any Law, and (ii) resolving objections by a Governmental Authority
as a condition to permit the Transactions to close without challenge. The Parties shall respond to
and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any
Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt (and notwithstanding Section 5.1(b)), neither
CFIUS Approval nor the receipt of any approval, consent, registration, Permit, authorization or
other confirmation from any Governmental Authority (or the expiration of any waiting period
under the antitrust Laws of any jurisdiction) shall be a condition to the Closing, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure to obtain CFIUS Approval or any such other
approval, consent, registration, Permit, authorization or other confirmation shall not affect or
limit the obligations of any Party to consummate the Issuance on the terms set forth in this
Agreement or give any rights or remedies to Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the Issuance.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including the
first sentence of Section 5.1(b)), (i) none of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates
shall be required to offer or commit to hold separate, sell, divest or dispose, or suffer any
restriction on the operation, of any assets, properties or businesses of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (including the members of the Company Group), and (ii) none of
Buyer nor any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall be required to offer or commit to sell,
divest or dispose, or, without prejudice to the remainder of Buyer’s obligations in this Section
5.1 to obtain the CFIUS Approval (including the obligation to accept the measures set forth in
parts (A) through (D), inclusive, in the definition of Burdensome Condition, if required by
CFIUS to obtain CFIUS Approval), suffer any restriction on the operation, management, or
governance of, any assets, properties of Buyer or businesses of any portfolio companies (as such
term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) of Buyer or its Subsidiaries or other
Affiliates or, with the sole exception of the Company, any companies in which Buyer or any of
Buyer’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates hold a minority equity position.
Section 5.2 Initial Employee Equity Plan. Prior to, or as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Closing, Parent shall establish an equity-based Employee Incentive
Program (the “EIP”) pursuant to which certain employees of the Company Group may be
granted equity-based incentive compensation awards with respect to the equity interests of the
Company following the Closing. The terms and conditions of the EIP shall be consistent with
those set forth on Section 5.2 of the Disclosure Letter.
Section 5.3 Cooperation. Except as otherwise provided herein, in case at any time
after the date of this Agreement any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be
taken all such reasonably necessary or appropriate action in accordance with and subject to the
terms of this Agreement.
Section 5.4 Publicity. None of the Parties shall issue any press release or public or
other widely disseminated announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions, or
make any other public or other widely disseminated disclosure regarding the terms of this
Agreement or the Transactions without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Parties,
which approval in any such case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
21
however, that no Party shall be required to obtain such approval if, in its reasonable judgment,
disclosure is required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on
which such Party or its Affiliates lists securities; provided further, that the initial press release
and the other initial public communications following the signing of this Agreement shall be in
such forms as have been previously reviewed by and coordinated among the Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit (a) Parent or any of its
Affiliates from (i) making internal announcements to, or otherwise communicating with, their
respective employees or (ii) communicating with, and making disclosures to, investors, in each
case so long as such announcements, communications and disclosures are consistent in all
material respects with, and with no more detail than, the Parties’ prior public disclosures
regarding the Transactions or (b) Buyer and its Affiliates from (i) making internal
announcements to, or otherwise communicating with, their respective employees or (ii)
communicating with, and making disclosures to, investors, in each case so long as such
announcements, communications and disclosures are consistent in all material respects with, and
with no more detail than, the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions. At and
after the Closing, the rights and obligations of Buyer and Parent with respect to the disclosure of
information related to the Transactions or the Company Group will be governed exclusively by
the LLC Agreement.
Section 5.5 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration
or other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges
(including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the
consummation of the Restructuring shall be paid by Parent when due, and any Transfer Taxes
incurred in connection with the Issuance shall be paid by Buyer when due. The Company shall
file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes and, if
required by applicable law, Parent and Buyer will, and will cause their Affiliates, to join in the
execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Section 5.6 Parent Additional Contribution; Definitive Documents.
(a) At the Closing, Parent shall contribute to the Company an amount equal to
$1,100,000,000 in cash (the “Parent Contribution”), and, in exchange therefor and for the
transfer of the Transferred Entities as part of the Restructuring and the grant of certain rights by
Parent to the Company under the IP Matters Agreement, the Company shall issue, assign, convey
and deliver to Parent, at the Closing, 1,100,000 Class A-2 Preferred Shares and five 5,500,000
Class C Common Shares (the “Parent Shares”), free and clear of all Liens (other than any Liens
under securities Laws or Liens or other transfer restrictions under the LLC Agreement).
(b) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.6(b), between the date of this
Agreement and the Closing Date, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare
definitive agreements (each, a “Commercial Agreement”) with respect to the Service Parts
Supply Agreement Term Sheet, the Vehicle Supply Agreement Term Sheet, the Fleet Financing
Agreement Term Sheet and the Connected Services Supply Agreement Term Sheet, which such
term sheets have been agreed to by the Parties on the date of this Agreement (the “Commercial
Agreement Term Sheets”), which Commercial Agreements shall and must be on terms and
conditions consistent in all material respects with the terms and conditions set forth in the
applicable Commercial Agreement Term Sheet. Parent will provide Buyer with a reasonable
22
opportunity to review each such Commercial Agreement prior to the finalization and execution
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6(b) or otherwise in this
Agreement, the failure by Parent to prepare or finalize any Commercial Agreement prior to the
Closing Date in and of itself shall not constitute a breach by Parent or the Company of their
respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise give rise to the failure of any condition
set forth in Article VI.
(c) Upon finalization of any Commercial Agreement prior to Closing, the
relevant Commercial Agreement Term Sheet relating thereto shall automatically, and without
any further action by any Person, be deemed null and void and removed as an Exhibit hereto and
such Commercial Agreement shall be inserted as the relevant Exhibit and shall be executed and
delivered by the parties thereto at Closing. In the event one or more of the Commercial
Agreements has not been finalized on or prior to Closing, then (i) each Commercial Agreement
Term Sheet related to such Commercial Agreements will be executed and delivered by Parent
and the Company (or one or more of their designated Affiliates, as applicable) at the Closing and
will constitute a valid and binding Contract (and will, prior to the finalization of a definitive
agreement with respect thereto, be deemed a Commercial Agreement) in accordance with the
terms thereof, and (ii) Parent and the Company will continue to use commercially reasonable
efforts to finalize a definitive agreement with respect to such Commercial Agreement as
promptly as practicable in a manner consistent with Section 5.6(b) (and it being understood, for
the avoidance of doubt, that Buyer shall continue to have the rights of review provided to it
under Section 5.6(b) with respect to such agreements) and (iii) upon finalization of each such
Commercial Agreement, such Commercial Agreement will be promptly executed by the parties
thereto and will replace (and render null and void, other than for such matters as may be
identified in the relevant Commercial Agreement) the relevant Commercial Agreement Term
Sheet(s).
Section 5.7 Termination of Intercompany Arrangements; Preservation of Agreements.
(a) Effective as of not later than immediately prior to the Closing, except as
set forth on Section 5.7(a) of the Disclosure Letter, Parent shall take all necessary action to cause
all Intercompany Accounts in respect of intercompany financing or cash management activities
(and excluding, for clarity, ordinary course trade payables) then existing to be settled by way of
capital contribution (including a contribution in respect of existing shares or in exchange for
newly issued shares), dividend (in cash or in kind) or other repayment. For the avoidance of
doubt, except as expressly contemplated by any of the Commercial Agreements or on Section
5.7(a) of the Disclosure Letter, as of immediately prior to the Closing all Intercompany Accounts
in respect of intercompany financing or cash management activities (and excluding, for clarity,
ordinary course trade payables) will be settled and no member of the Company Group will have
any liabilities with respect thereto.
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.7(a) or as expressly identified on
Section 5.7(b) of the Disclosure Letter, the Parties each agree that all written agreements,
arrangements, commitments and understandings between any member or members of the
Company Group, on the one hand, and Parents or its Subsidiaries (other than the members of the
Company Group), on the other hand (the “Intercompany Agreements”), shall terminate
immediately prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section
23
5.7(a), the Commercial Agreements or as expressly identified on Section 5.7(b) of the Disclosure
Letter, as of immediately prior to the Closing no Intercompany Agreements will remain in effect.
Section 5.8 Pre-Closing Restructuring.
(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its applicable
Subsidiaries to, perform certain restructuring activities necessary so that the Transferred Entities
will become Subsidiaries of the Company (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring shall consist
of those steps, actions and matters set forth on Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Letter and in no
event will Parent or its Affiliates allocate or otherwise assign any liabilities to any member of the
Company Group in connection with the Restructuring (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
(i) any liability of the Transferred Entities will be retained by the Company Group and (ii) any
liability allocated to the Company Group in any of the Transaction Agreements will remain a
liability of the Company Group in accordance with the terms thereof). Any material changes to
Section 5.8 of the Disclosure Letter proposed by Parent after the date hereof and at any time
prior to the Closing shall be subject to Buyer’s prior written consent, with such changes that are
approved in writing by the Buyer to be incorporated into a revised, amended and restated Section
5.8 of the Disclosure Letter.
(b) Following the Restructuring, Parent shall retain in perpetuity the sole and
exclusive right to waive the joint-client privilege held by Parent and the Company and/or any of
the Transferred Entities covering legal services rendered at any time, irrespective of what
information or communications the privilege covers, regardless of whether the privileged
material is a communication solely between Parent’s (or its Affiliates’) attorneys and the
Company and/or the Transferred Entities. Parent shall retain this right in all circumstances,
including circumstances in which there is adversity between Parent and the Company and/or any
of the Transferred Entities, and none of the Transactions shall affect this retention.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, all steps of the Restructuring shall be
completed by Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries prior to or substantially concurrent with the
Closing.
ARTICLE VI

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and Buyer;
(b) by either Parent or Buyer, by written notice to the other, if any
Governmental Authority shall have issued or granted an Order or taken any other action
permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing and such Order or other

warranty, covenant or agreement of such Party in this Agreement;
(d) by Parent, if (i) the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2

date, other than solely by virtue of Buyer’s failure to effect the Closing) have been satisfied or
waived, (ii) Buyer fails to deliver the Purchase Price on or prior to the time that the Closing

provisions of Article IX to the extent applicable to such surviving sections; provided however,
that (i) no Party shall be relieved or released from any Liability arising out of intentional fraud
based on a false representation or its willful and intentional breach of any provision of this
25
Agreement or from any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies arising from such fraud or
willful and intentional breach and (ii) without limiting the generality of clause (i), this Section
7.2 will not relieve or release Buyer from any liability (or otherwise impair Parent’s and the
Company’s right to pursue any remedies that may be available to them) in the event Parent
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d). Each Party’s rights of termination under
this Article VII are in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement, applicable
Law or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination shall not constitute an election of
remedies.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION; CERTAIN REMEDIES
Section 8.1 Survival.
(a) The representations and warranties of (i) Parent set forth in Sections 3.1,
3.2, 3.5 and 3.13 (together with the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Section

from the Closing Date, (ii) Parent set forth in Article III, excluding the Parent Fundamental

the Closing shall survive the Closing for the time period contemplated for performance (or, if no
time period for performance is contemplated, until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing
Date) or, if earlier, until fully performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written claim or
written notice is given in good faith under this Article VIII with respect to any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable period during which
such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement survives, in each case as set forth in this
Section 8.1 (such period with respect to such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement,
the “Survival Period”), the claim with respect to such representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement shall continue until such claim is finally resolved. Any claims for indemnification for
which notice under this Article VIII is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Survival
Period shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived.
Section 8.2 Indemnification by Parent.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Parent hereby agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and any Representatives of any of
26
the foregoing, and Buyer’s successors and assigns from and against, and shall compensate and
reimburse them for, any and all Losses (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any
Third Party Claim) based upon, arising out of or resulting from:
(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or
warranties made by Parent in this Agreement; provided, that for purposes of this Section
8.2(a)(i) any limitations or qualifications regarding “materiality” or similar terms or
qualifications limiting the scope of such representations or warranties of Parent shall be
disregarded (other than as set forth in the definitions of Material Contract and Permitted
Liens, and the first sentence of Section 3.8(c), the last instance in Section 3.10, Section
3.11(i), Section 3.15, Section 3.16 and Section 3.18); or
(ii) any breach of or failure to perform any of Parent’s or the
Company’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any and all Taxes (other than Taxes
attributable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) required to be paid by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to a taxing authority pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6
(or any analogous or similar provision of U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. law) as a result of being
a member of the GM Affiliated Group (or any other affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary
group of which the Parent is or was a member) during a pre-Closing Taxable Period (or portion
thereof).
Section 8.3 Indemnification by Buyer.
Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, Buyer hereby agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Parent and each of their Affiliates, and any
Representatives of any of the foregoing, and each of the successors and assigns of any the
foregoing, from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse them for, any and all Losses
(regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third Party Claim) based upon, arising
out of or resulting from:
(a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties
made by Buyer in this Agreement; provided that, for purposes of this Section 8.3(a), any
limitations or qualifications regarding “materiality” or similar terms or qualifications limiting the
scope of such representations or warranties of Buyer shall be disregarded; or
(b) any breach of or failure to perform any of Buyer’s covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures. In the event that indemnification,
compensation or reimbursement may be sought under this Article VIII (an “Indemnification
Claim”) in connection with (a) any action, suit or proceeding that may be instituted or (b) any
claim that may be asserted, in each case by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Party
seeking indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall promptly give written notice of the assertion of such Indemnification Claim (which notice
shall describe in reasonable detail the Indemnification Claim, the amount thereof (if known and
27
quantifiable) and the basis thereof) to the Party from whom indemnification, compensation or
reimbursement hereunder is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prior to the expiration of the
applicable Survival Period set forth in Section 8.1; provided, however, that no delay on the part
of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to
the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right, at its sole option, to be represented by counsel of its choice (the cost of
which will be borne solely by the Indemnifying Party), which must be reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party, and to take sole control and defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise
deal with any Indemnification Claim and, if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified
Party of its intent to do so within thirty (30) days (or sooner if the nature of the Indemnification
Claim so requires) of the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of the assertion of such
Indemnification Claim (the “Dispute Period”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any
Indemnification Claim if such Indemnification Claim seeks an order, injunction or other
equitable relief or relief for other than monetary damages against the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnified Party reasonably determines, based on the written advice of its outside counsel,
cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other
relief portion of the Indemnification Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money
damages. If the Indemnifying Party within the Dispute Period elects not to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim or fails to promptly notify the
Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the
Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such
Indemnification Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party
may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided,
however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the employment of such counsel
has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) outside counsel to the
Indemnified Party advises the Indemnified Party in writing that an actual or potential conflict
exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate
representation advisable; provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to
pay for more than one (1) such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any single
Indemnification Claim. The Parties agree to cooperate reasonably with each other in connection
with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the
written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry
of any judgment (each, a “Settlement”) unless (1) the claimant provides to the Indemnified Party
an unqualified release from all Liability (without any admission of wrongdoing by the
Indemnified Party) in respect of the relevant Third Party Claim and (2) such Settlement does not
impose any liabilities or obligations on the Indemnified Party (other than monetary damages) and
(B) the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
28
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall not settle any
Indemnification Claims.
Section 8.5 Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement
to the contrary:
(a) (i) Parent shall not have any indemnification, compensation or
reimbursement obligations for Losses under Section 8.2 arising as a result of (A) a breach of the
representations and warranties of Parent set forth in Article III, excluding the Parent
Fundamental Reps (the “Parent Non-Fundamental Reps”) or (B) a breach of or failure to perform
any of Parent’s or the Company’s covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (other
than Section 5.7), with respect to any individual claim (or series of related claims) unless such
claim (or series of claims) involves Losses in excess of $250,000 (nor shall such item be applied
to or considered for purposes of calculating the Basket (as defined below)); (ii) Parent shall not
have any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligations for Losses under
Section 8.2(a)(i) arising as a result of a breach of the Parent Non-Fundamental Reps unless and
until the aggregate amount of all such Losses for which Parent is finally determined to be liable
exceeds one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the “Basket”), and Parent shall only have
indemnification obligations to the extent of the excess of such Losses over the Basket,
(iii) subject to clause (iv), in no event shall the aggregate indemnification, compensation and
reimbursement to be paid by Parent for Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) arising as a result of a
breach of the Parent Non-Fundamental Reps (including those in Section 3.11) exceed ten percent
(10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Closing Cap”), (iv) in no event shall the aggregate
indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligations of Parent for Losses under Section
8.2(a)(i) arising as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties of Parent set forth in
Section 3.11, after taking into account the aggregate indemnification, compensation and
reimbursement paid by Parent for Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) arising as a result of a breach of
any other Parent Non-Fundamental Reps, exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase
Price, and (v) in no event shall the aggregate indemnification, compensation and reimbursement
obligations to be paid by Parent for Losses under Section 8.2 exceed the Purchase Price.
(b) (i) Buyer shall not have any indemnification, compensation or
reimbursement obligations for Losses under Section 8.3 arising as a result of (A) a breach of the
Buyer Non-Fundamental Reps or (B) a breach of or failure to perform any of Buyer’s covenants
or agreements contained in this Agreement, with respect to any individual claim (or series of
related claims) unless such claims (or series of claims) involves Losses in excess of $250,000
(nor shall such item be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the Basket); (ii)
Buyer shall not have any indemnification, compensation and reimbursement obligations for
Losses under Section 8.3(a) arising as a result of a breach of the Buyer Non-Fundamental Reps
unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses, finally determined, exceeds the Basket;
provided, however, that from and after such time as the total amount of such Losses exceeds the
Basket, then Buyer shall be liable only for the portion that exceeds the Basket, (iii) in no event
shall the aggregate indemnification, compensation and reimbursement to be paid by Buyer for all
Losses under Section 8.3(a) arising as a result of a breach of the Buyer Non-Fundamental Reps
29
exceed the Closing Cap, and (iv) in no event shall the aggregate indemnification, compensation
or reimbursement to be paid by Buyer for Losses under Section 8.3 exceed the Purchase Price.
Section 8.6 Adjustments to Losses; Limitations on Remedies; Calculation of Losses.
(a) If any Indemnifying Party is liable to pay an amount in discharge of any
claim under this Agreement and any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates recovers from a third
party (including any insurer but excluding any “self-insurance” maintained by the Indemnified
Party or its Affiliates) a sum which indemnifies, compensates or reimburses the Indemnified
Party or its Affiliates (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of
the claim, the Indemnified Party shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the
extent of such recovery less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with receiving such recovery and any related increases in insurance premiums;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Indemnified Party have any obligation to seek or
enforce any recovery from such third party.
(b) To the extent a Loss for which indemnification is provided results in a
reduction of Taxes payable by, or a Tax refund to, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates
(determined on a “with and without” basis) in the Taxable Period in which such Loss was
accrued for Tax purposes or the following two (2) Taxable Periods (a “Tax Benefit”), then the
amount of the indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article VIII in respect of such Loss shall
be reduced by the amount of such Tax Benefit. In the event such Tax Benefit is ultimately
disallowed pursuant to a “determination,” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay, no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of such
determination, to the Indemnified Party the amount by which such indemnity payment was
reduced as a result of the Tax Benefit. If any such Tax Benefit is not actually realized prior to
the time the related indemnification payment is made, the Indemnified Party thereafter shall
make payments in accordance with this Article VIII to the Indemnifying Party to reflect such
Tax Benefit.
(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from any Indemnifying
Party (i) under this Article VIII more than once in respect of the same Loss (notwithstanding that
such Loss may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement), or (ii) to the
extent such Indemnified Party has already recovered for such Loss under any other Transaction
Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any liability under this Agreement to an Indemnified
Party (i) for any Losses that were not reasonably foreseeable, and (ii) for any punitive or
exemplary damages, unless in each case of (i) and (ii), awarded by an arbitrator or
Governmental Authority to a third party and paid to such third party by an Indemnified Party,
(iii) for lost opportunities and (iv) for diminution or reduction in value premised upon application
of a multiplier of any financial measure or of any similar item (including the application of a
multiplier to loss of revenue, income or profits, loss of business reputation, goodwill or
opportunity).
30
(e) Any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification, compensation or
reimbursement under this Article VIII based on any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation
or warranty of an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or any breach of or failure to
perform any covenant or agreement of an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall not be
diminished or otherwise affected in any way as a result of: (i) the existence of such Indemnified
Party’s knowledge of such breach, inaccuracy or nonperformance as of the date of this
Agreement or as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether such knowledge exists as a result of
the Indemnified Party’s investigation or as a result of disclosure by such Indemnifying Party
(other than in the Disclosure Letter or in the GM SEC Filings); or (ii) such Indemnified Party’s
waiver of any condition to Closing set forth in Article VI.
Section 8.7 Payments. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the
amount of any Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder, in immediately
available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party no later than fifteen (15) days
following any Final Determination of such Losses and the Indemnifying Party’s liability
therefor. A “Final Determination” shall exist when (a) the parties to the dispute have reached an
agreement in writing, (b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable
Order or judgment with respect to the subject matter of the claim or (c) an arbitration
or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes
the Parties have agreed to submit thereto.
Section 8.8 Mitigation. The Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates
to) cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to
which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party under this Article VIII, including by
making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate to the extent required by Law after
becoming aware of any such claim.
Section 8.9 Exclusive Remedy. Other than for claims of intentional fraud based on a
false representation in Article III or Article IV, the remedies set forth in this Article VIII shall be
the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any breach or alleged breach of any
representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the
remedies available in this Article VIII supersede any other remedies available at law or in equity
including rights of rescission and claims arising under applicable Law, and each Party hereby
waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights,
remedies, claims and causes of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, arising under or based upon any
federal, state or local Law, that any Party may have against another Party in respect of any
breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.9 shall not operate to (i)
limit the rights of the Parties with respect to claims of intentional fraud based on a false
representation in Article III or Article IV, (ii) limit the rights of the Parties to seek remedies upon
a termination to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 7.2; (iii) limit the rights of the Parties
to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) in accordance
with Section 9.10 to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or (iv) limit
any Party’s rights or obligations pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof. No past, present or future Representative of any Party (collectively, the
“Non-Party Affiliates”) shall have any liability (whether in Law (including in contract or in tort),
31
in equity or otherwise) related to this Agreement or for any claim or Legal Proceeding based on,
in respect of or by reason of the Transactions except to the extent agreed to in writing by such
Non-Party Affiliate (including pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Transaction
Agreement).
Section 8.10 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties shall treat each payment
made under this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless
otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 9.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Sections,”
“Exhibits” or “Disclosure Letter” such reference shall be to a section of, an exhibit of, or the
Disclosure Letter to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. References to this Agreement
shall include the Disclosure Letter. The table of contents and headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of
like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or
“including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation.” The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used
in the plural, and vice versa, and references herein to any gender includes each other gender.
The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other
thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. Any references to dollar amounts
shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material, to
establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes
of this Agreement. The terms “$” and “dollars” means United States Dollars. All references to
“day” shall be deemed to mean “calendar day”. No rule of construction against the draftspersons
shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this
Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel.
Section 9.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including
the Exhibits hereto), the Disclosure Letter and the Transaction Agreements represent the entire
understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements, undertakings, representations and warranties, both written
and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement can be
amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. The waiver
by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as
a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
Section 9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of Delaware.
34
Section 9.6 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the
Delaware Court of Chancery, and appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals from such court,
or, if such court is not available, in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware.
The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court exclusive jurisdiction over the person of
such Parties and, to the extent permitted by law, the exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter
of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such
action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be
permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY
CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO
INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES
AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS
CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS
WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.6.
Section 9.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable
and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable,
(a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as
may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision
and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or
circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such
invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the
application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.8 Assignment. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or
obligations hereunder may be made by any Party, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or
otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto and any attempted
assignment without the required consents shall be null, void and of no effect.
Section 9.9 Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party
35
beneficiary rights in any Person not a Party to this Agreement except as contemplated by Section
8.2 or Section 8.3.
Section 9.10 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any
breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages
would not be an adequate remedy. Each Party accordingly agrees that, in addition to any other
remedies available under applicable Law or this Agreement, each Party shall be entitled to
enforce the terms of this Agreement by decree of specific performance without the necessity of
posting a bond or proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy and to obtain
injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. The Parties agree
not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or
inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an
adequate remedy.
Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, including facsimile or pdf counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to
