Assuming the receipt of all Parent Required Governmental Approvals and Purchaser Required Governmental Approvals, and the expiration of any related waiting periods, the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents to which Purchaser Topco and Purchaser or any of their Affiliates is a party by such Person, and the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the Constituent Documents of such Person, (ii) violate or conflict with any Law or Permit applicable to such Person, other than immaterial violations of Law or any Permit or (iii) constitute a breach or default (or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute a breach or default) under, or give any third party (with or without the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise) any rights of termination, acceleration, prepayment, redemption or cancellation of, or give rise to any loss of a material benefit or obligation to make a payment under, or result in the creation of any

Section 4.5    No Litigation. To Purchaser’s Knowledge, there is no Action by any Person pending or threatened against Purchaser Topco, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates that would be reasonably likely to result in monetary damages, injunctive relief or the taking of any other action that would (in any of the foregoing cases) result in a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. There are no unsatisfied or outstanding Government Orders against Purchaser Topco, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or any of the properties or business of Purchaser Topco, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates that would have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.6    Securities Law Compliance. Purchaser is financially sophisticated and understands that the Target Equity Interests have not been registered under the securities laws of any jurisdiction, including the Securities Act, and may only be transferred pursuant to registration

or an applicable exemption under all applicable Laws. Purchaser is acquiring the Target Equity Interests for its own account, for the purpose of investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of applicable Law. Purchaser has not, directly or indirectly, offered the Target Equity Interests to anyone or solicited any offer to buy the Target Equity Interests from anyone, so as to bring such offer and sale of the Target Equity Interests by Purchaser within the registration requirements of the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 4.7    Due Diligence by Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the Target Business and the operations, assets, Liabilities and financial condition of the Target Companies in making the determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and has relied solely on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties in Article III in connection with the Target Companies and the subject matter of this Agreement. Purchaser has, among other things, had full access to the Virtual Data Room and received Parent’s Disclosure Letter. Purchaser has also received certain projections and other forecasts, including projected financial statements, cash flow items, capital expenditure budgets and certain business plan information, and acknowledges that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and forecasts and, accordingly, it is not relying on them, (ii) Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all such projections and forecasts, (iii) Purchaser has no claim under this Agreement against anyone with respect to the accuracy of such projections and forecasts and (iv) Parent has made no representation or warranty with respect to such projections and forecasts. The representations and warranties of Parent in Article III constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Parent to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Article III, all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature express or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or Liabilities of the Target Companies or the quality, quantity or condition of the assets of the Target Companies) are specifically disclaimed by Parent. Purchaser hereby waives any other warranty or representation, in each case, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or condition of the Target Companies or any part thereof.

Section 4.8    Solvency. After giving effect to the payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and payment of all related fees and expenses, Purchaser will be Solvent as of and immediately following each Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the value of all “liabilities of such person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities of such Person as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its Liabilities

as they mature.

Section 4.9    No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, and Purchaser disclaims any other representations or warranties.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of this Section 5.3, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and shall each furnish to the other all information reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with making any application or other filing required to be made pursuant to any applicable Law, and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry by any Government Authority under any applicable Laws, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

In the event that disclosing information would violate any obligation of Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate so the information might be made available in a redacted format, or, if such redaction would result in pertinent information being omitted, Parent shall make such information available if Purchaser delivers confidentiality, and if reasonably required, indemnity, undertakings reasonably satisfactory to Parent. No information provided to or obtained by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) or otherwise obtained after the execution of this Agreement shall limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Purchaser (including Purchaser’s right to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2), or the representations or warranties of, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties hereto.

All such information made available to Parent under this Section 5.5(b) shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be subject to Section 5.6 (including Section 5.6(c)). In the event that disclosing information would violate any obligation of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate so the information might be made available in a redacted format.

All such information made available to Purchaser under this Section 5.5(c) shall be deemed Confidential Information and shall be subject to Section 5.6 (including Section 5.6(c)). In the event that disclosing information would violate any obligation of Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate so the information might be made available in a redacted format.

(a)    With respect to each Target Business Segment, Parent shall (i) keep, or cause to be kept, all Insurance Policies or suitable replacements therefor (with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are substantially similar in all material respects to the existing policies or otherwise consistent with the market practice of businesses of a similar size and type), in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date relating to such Target Business Segment, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the rights of the insured Persons under such insurance policies or replacements in all material respects, including by causing said insured Persons to (A) pay or otherwise satisfy or have satisfied any unpaid premiums when due with respect to any period ending at or prior to the Closing relating to such Target Business Segment, (B) provide any reasonably required notices (including renewal notices or, if applicable, other documentation reasonably required to continue in full force and effect the Insurance Policies) to the issuers thereof, and (C) act reasonably in respect of any decision whether to submit and pursue Target Company claims on a timely basis under the Insurance Policies, and (iii) notify Purchaser of any Target Company claims made pursuant to such insurance policies on or after the date hereof, in excess of $500,000 in respect of any individual claim.

(b)    Purchaser and its Affiliates (which, as of and after any Closing, shall include the Subject Companies) will not have access to, and shall not be permitted to make any claims under, any of Parent’s or any of its Affiliate’s insurance policies and programs with respect to any events

or circumstances, including events or circumstances relating to a Subject Company that occurred or existed prior to the Closing relating to such Subject Company; provided that nothing in this Section 5.8 shall preclude Purchaser Indemnified Persons from making any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VIII; provided, further, however, that Parent (i) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and collect claims arising prior to the applicable Closing for coverage for Losses involving the assets, properties and liabilities of the Subject Companies or the operation (or interruption) of business conducted by the Subject Companies, if and to the extent Parent would pursue such claims pursuant to its internal policies and procedures had such Closing not occurred, (ii) shall keep Purchaser reasonably apprised of developments concerning such claims, and (iii) shall promptly pay any amounts collected in respect of any such claim, net of any external expenses incurred by Parent in connection with its actions pursuant to this proviso, after the applicable Closing Date to Purchaser for the benefit of the Subject Companies.

(c)    Parent shall obtain and prepay an extended reporting period of six years under each of the D&O Insurance Policies (the “Run-Off Insurance”); Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Run-Off Insurance prior to the First Closing, and in the event Parent is unable to acquire Run-Off Insurance prior to the First Closing, Parent shall obtain it as promptly as practicable thereafter, and such Run-Off Insurance shall have a commencement date of the First Closing Date. Such Run-Off Insurance shall be obtained on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions in the current D&O Insurance Policies.

Section 5.9    Interest in Intellectual Property.

(a)    Except as specifically provided in this Section 5.9 or the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after any Closing, the Subject Companies transferred at such Closing) is purchasing, acquiring, receiving a license to or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in, to or under any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies to the extent they are purchased and sold hereunder), including the Parent Trademarks.

(b)    Except as expressly permitted in the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, (i) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (which, as of and after any Closing, shall include the Target Business Segment transferred at such Closing) to, cease and discontinue all uses of the Parent Trademarks, and (ii) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease and discontinue all uses of the Company Trademarks. Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates (which, as of and after any Closing, shall include the Subject Companies transferred at such Closing), agrees that the rights of the Target Companies to the Parent Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any trademark agreements between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Target Companies, on the other hand, shall terminate as of the Closing relating to such Target Company and be replaced by such rights as are provided by the Transitional Trademark License Agreement. Parent, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees that any of their respective rights to the Company Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any trademark agreements between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Target Company, on the other hand, shall terminate as of the Closing relating to such Target Company and be replaced by such rights as are provided by the Transitional Trademark License Agreement.

(c)    Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants, and will cause its Affiliates (which, as of and after any Closing, shall include the Subject Companies transferred at such Closing) and its and their respective successors and assigns to covenant, not to, after any Closing, assert, initiate, file, or otherwise commence anywhere in the world any Action, or participate in or provide support for any such Action, against Parent or its Affiliates, or their respective successors or assigns or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, direct or indirect customers, users, licensees, direct or indirect suppliers, service providers, distributors, resellers or contractors for infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any patents, copyrights or trade secrets (in each case, other than with respect to software) owned by any of the Subject Companies transferred at such Closing and used in the ordinary course of business at that time by Parent or its Affiliates other than the Target Companies.

(d)    Parent and other Sellers each hereby grant to Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) a worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license under their respective owned Intellectual Property that is in existence and used in each Target Business Segment on each Closing Date (other than Trademarks), for use in the Target Business solely in the manner used in the Target Business as of the applicable Closing Date, it being understood that with respect to any Intellectual Property associated with any website, website content, marketing collateral or any similar materials in Mexico, such materials may be used in their current form as permitted under the Transitional Trademark License Agreement for Mexico.

(e)    Prior to the first Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that: (i) all Scheduled Intellectual Property is properly filed in the current name of one of the Target Companies in the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) sole and exclusive title to all software (x) owned by Parent or its Subsidiaries and used exclusively by or for the Target Companies and/or (y) identified as having ownership by “GMAC” under the “IP Ownership” column in Section 5.9(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, is transferred to a Target Company; (iii) all ownership interest Parent and any applicable Affiliate has in the software identified under the heading “HP Software” of Section 5.9(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter is transferred to a Target Company; (iv) all licenses to software (x) used by or for the Target Companies and not used by Parent itself or for its other Subsidiaries or (y) identified as “Licensed” under the “IP Ownership” column in Section 5.9(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, are transferred to a Target Company, subject to any transfer or assignment restrictions set forth in such licenses; and (v) it works with Purchaser in good faith to determine if any Trademarks owned by Parent or its Affiliates and used exclusively by the Target Companies other than the Scheduled Intellectual Property, the Parent In-Process Marks and the Company In-Process Marks should be transferred to a Target Company; with the Parties in each case to equally share all costs related thereto (collectively, the “Title Corrections”); with the Parties in each case to equally share all costs related thereto, except for fees associated with any consent obtained under (vi) above which shall be borne solely by Purchaser. If, as of any Closing, any Title Correction has not been completed that is applicable to the Target Companies involved in such Closing, Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to complete such Title Correction after such Closing. After such Closing, Parent shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser in effectuating Title Corrections, including, but not limited to, the timely execution and delivery of necessary documentation to Purchaser.

(f)    Within 14 days after the date hereof, Parent shall deliver to Purchaser a list of known deviations from the Ally Global Information Security Policy and any associated mitigating measures taken.

(g)    Within 30 days after the date hereof, Parent shall deliver to Purchaser a list of all registered Internet domain names owned by the Target Companies or owned by Parent or its Affiliates and used by the Target Companies. For such domain names that contain a Target Company Trademark but not a Parent Trademark, Parent shall transfer ownership to a Target Company to the extent not already owned by a Target Company; for such domain names that contain a Parent Trademark but not a Target Company Trademark, Target Company shall transfer ownership to the Parent or its Affiliates to the extent not currently owned by the Parent or its Affiliates and Parent or its Affiliates shall license such domain names to the relevant Target Company(ies) pursuant to the relevant Transitional Trademark License Agreement (by adding it to the list of Licensed Trademarks). For all other such domain names, the parties shall negotiate in good faith on ownership and usage rights thereto, provided that neither party shall be forced to abandon use of a domain name without a reasonable transitional period. For purposes of this provision, the terms “Target Company Trademark” and “Parent Trademark” shall include misspellings thereof.

Section 5.10    Cooperation Regarding Transition Arrangements.

(b)    Subject to applicable Law, with respect to each Subject Company, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing for such Subject Company and the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party to assist each other in planning and implementing necessary and appropriate policies, procedures and other arrangements in connection with the transition of ownership of such Subject Company, including the services to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. As necessary in connection therewith, each Party shall designate certain of their respective employees as “Transition Coordinators” to coordinate planning and implementation contemplated by this Section 5.10(a).

(c)    The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any consents and approvals and make any other notifications that may be required in connection with the provision of services and access to certain facilities following any Closing pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. The Parties agree that any costs and expenses payable to third parties (other than the respective Representatives of each of the Parties) in connection with the procurement of any such consents or waivers of third parties necessary or advisable for the provision of such services and access to such facilities shall be borne by the Party who (or whose Affiliates) will receive such services or access pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. If the Parties are unable to obtain any such consent or approval prior to the applicable Closing, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as of such Closing, a commercially reasonable alternative to such services and access to the facilities and the costs and expenses payable to obtain such alternative (but not the costs and expenses for the ongoing receipt of such alternative services and access to the facilities) shall be borne by the Party who (or whose Affiliates) will receive such services or access pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

Section 5.11    Employee Matters.

(c)    Effective as of and from the applicable Closing, each Continuing Employee (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the applicable Closing shall continue in employment as of the applicable Closing Date with the applicable Target Company. To the extent that the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates requires the services of any Key Person prior to the applicable Closing Date on which such Key Person becomes either a Transferred Employee or a Continuing Employee, the parties agree to enter into a transition services agreement covering the provision of such services having terms substantially similar to those contained in the Global Services Agreement between the parties as of the date hereof; and to the extent that the Purchaser and its Affiliates require the services of any employees or consultants of a Target Company other than a Key Person prior to the applicable Closing Date, the parties agree to mutually and reasonably agree on such other employees or consultants selected to provide services pursuant to such transition services agreement. For a period of one year following the applicable Closing Date, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall transfer the employment of any employee employed by a Target Company located in France immediately prior to the applicable Closing Date to a different entity to the extent that such transfer could create Liability for Parent or any of its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference under this Section 5.11 and Section 5.11(a) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter to the “applicable Closing” or “applicable Closing Date” in respect of any Business Employee providing services to GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited shall be the Completion Date (as defined in the Share Transfer Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and Purchaser with respect to the sale and transfer of Parent’s 40% equity interest in GMAC-SAIC).

(d)    By the later of 60 days following the date hereof or the 21st day before the Effective Hire Date, Purchaser shall or shall cause an Affiliate thereof to make an offer of employment in writing to each Business Employee set forth on Section 5.11(a) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter; provided that such Business Employee is still employed by Parent or an Affiliate thereof as of such date, and, provided further, that Parent and its Affiliates have complied with all of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement in respect of the Business Employees as of the date of such offer of employment. The Purchaser shall provide a draft of its form of employment offer to Parent for review over a reasonable period of time and shall reasonably consider in good faith any comments provided by Parent prior to delivery of any written employment offer to any Business Employee. Each such offer of employment shall be in compliance with applicable Law, with such employment to take effect under the terms stated herein upon the applicable Business Employee’s Effective Hire Date. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, each such offer to a Business Employee shall be for employment (A) in a position comparable to such Business Employee’s position as of the time such offer is made, (B) with base compensation and target incentive compensation opportunities substantially comparable to the aggregate amount of such Business Employee’s base compensation and target incentive compensation opportunities (including the value of equity compensation opportunities, it being understood that such portion of the Business Employee’s compensation does not need to be in the form of equity based compensation but excluding change in control or retention bonuses) immediately preceding the Effective Hire Date; provided, however, that with respect to cash annual incentive compensation opportunities, the relevant comparison shall be to the amount of such cash annual incentive

compensation opportunities as in effect as of the date hereof, (C) at a work location within 35 miles of such Business Employee’s current work location and (D) with employee welfare and retirement benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the welfare and retirement benefits provided to such Business Employee in the aggregate immediately preceding the Effective Hire Date (collectively, the “Initial Terms and Conditions of Employment”). Business Employees who commence employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” Transferred Employees shall be provided with the Initial Terms and Conditions of Employment during their employment through the first anniversary of the applicable Effective Hire Date. Parent shall provide Purchaser with information that Purchaser reasonably requests to comply with Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.11(b), including with respect to each Business Employee, to update his or her current base compensation, date of hire, position and work location, and to provide correct summaries of all benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies, agreements or arrangements in which Business Employees participate. Purchaser shall provide Parent with information that Parent reasonably requests (A) to verify that such offers of employment are in compliance with this Section 5.11(a) and (B) regarding Business Employees’ acceptances and rejections of such offers of employment. Business Employees’ commencement of employment with Purchaser shall not be conditioned upon such employees satisfactorily completing a background investigation, drug test or other employment screening process except to the extent that any such process is required as a matter of such employees’ professional certification or qualification or Purchaser’s and any of its Affiliates’ obtaining or maintaining a license, permit or authorization to conduct business, if any, and shall not include a probationary period. Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible to provide each Business Employee who does not receive an employment offer that complies with this Section 5.11(b) or is terminated by Purchaser and its Affiliates within one year following the Effective Hire Date with severance payments and benefits that are on substantially similar terms and in the same amount as the severance payments and benefits that would have been provided by Parent and its Affiliates to such Business Employee, had such termination occurred immediately prior to the Effective Hire Date, under the terms of the written severance benefit plan or arrangement applicable to each such Business Employee (a correct copy of which has been made available to Purchaser). Effective as of the Effective Hire Date, the Transferred Employees shall cease to actively participate in and to accrue benefits under the employee benefit plans and programs of Parent and its Affiliates. The “Effective Hire Date” shall mean, with respect to each Business Employee, the date set forth for each such Business Employee in Section 5.11(a) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter.

(e)    Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to treat each non-union employee of a Target Company who continues in employment with the Target Companies as of or after the applicable Closing Date as a “Continuing Employee”. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, Continuing Employees, during their employment with the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof after the applicable Closing Date shall receive during the one-year period commencing on the applicable Closing Date or such longer period as required by applicable Law, (i) base compensation and target-incentive compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the aggregate amount of base compensation and target incentive compensation opportunities (including the value of equity compensation opportunities, it being understood that such portion of the Continuing Employee’s compensation does not need to be in the form of equity

based compensation but excluding change in control, retention or similar compensation) as in effect for each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the applicable Closing, provided, however, that with respect to cash annual incentive compensation opportunities, the relevant comparison shall be to the amount of such cash annual incentive compensation opportunities as in effect as of the date hereof, (ii) employee welfare and retirement benefits, that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those in effect for each such Continuing Employee immediately before the applicable Closing, and (iii) severance benefits that are on substantially similar terms to and in the same amount as severance benefits provided by the applicable Target Companies to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the applicable Closing under the terms of the applicable, written severance benefit plan or arrangement (a complete copy of which has been made available to Purchaser) or as required under applicable Law; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any employee of any Target Company who is a member of a union (regardless of whether they are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or a labor agreement), and the parties intend that, following the applicable Closing, such union employees shall continue to be provided with compensation and employee benefits consistent with the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement or applicable labor agreement, each such union employee’s employment contract (if applicable), and applicable Law.

(f)    For purposes of vesting, benefit accrual, vacation and sick time credit and eligibility to participate under the Purchaser Benefit Plans, each Transferred Employee and Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Parent, Target Companies and any Affiliates thereof, and their respective predecessors before the applicable Closing, to the same extent as such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee was entitled, before the applicable Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Target Company Benefit Plan or similar benefit plan of Parent in which such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the applicable Closing; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall cause or shall cause its applicable Affiliates (other than Purchaser Topco, General Motors Holdings LLC or General Motors LLC) to cause (i) each Transferred Employee and Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies and arrangements of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”) to the extent coverage under any such Purchaser Benefit Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Target Company Benefit Plan or similar benefit plan of Parent or its Affiliates in which such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each Purchaser Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee, any evidence of insurability requirements, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Purchaser Benefit Plan to be waived for such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents. Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such Purchaser Benefit Plan for purposes of

satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee or Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year. For the avoidance of doubt, no Business Employee, Continuing Employee or any other Target Company employee shall have the right to participate in or to any new benefit accrual in any benefit and compensation plan, contract, policy or arrangement sponsored or maintained by Purchaser Topco, General Motors Holdings LLC, or General Motors LLC; however, each Continuing Employee or Transferred Employee who was a participant in the General Motors Retirement Program for Salaried Employees (“SRP”) at the time of terminating employment with General Motors Corporation or any of its Affiliates in connection with the divestiture of GMAC LLC and its subsidiaries and was granted the right to continue to accrue vesting and eligibility service under the SRP pursuant to the terms of the Revised Memorandum of Understanding between General Motors Corporation and GMAC LLC, dated as of November 29, 2006 (“SRP MOU”), shall continue to be eligible to accrue such vesting and eligibility service credits on the same basis as prior to his or her Effective Hire Date or the applicable Closing Date with respect to his or her employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) to determine vesting and retirement eligibility with respect to the SRP pursuant to the terms of the SRP and the relevant provision of the SRP MOU, as set forth in Section 5.11(d) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall restrict Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) from, at any time, amending, modifying or terminating, as applicable, the SRP, any Purchaser Benefit Plan, any Old Plan, any Target Company Benefit Plan or any other plan sponsored or maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Target Companies).

(g)    Parent and its Affiliates shall, or shall cause the applicable Target Company to pay any amounts that are payable in respect of the Retention Agreements with Target Company employees set forth on Section 5.11(e) of the Parent’s Disclosure Letter (the “Retention Agreements”), as earned in respect of the applicable Continuing Employee’s employment with Parent and its Affiliates on or prior to, and in no event later than as soon as commercially practicable following, the applicable Closing Date. Parent and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all retention, change in control or other similar compensation or benefit payments which are or may become payable to any Transferred Employee with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or under Parent Benefit Plans, in each case in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant plan, agreement or program, as applicable.

(h)    Parent and its Affiliates shall pay any and all compensation payable to any current or former employee, director or individual independent contractor or individual consultant of any Target Company under the Parent Benefit Plans, including under the Ally Financial, Inc. Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan and the Ally Financial, Inc. Annual Incentive Plans, in accordance with and subject to the terms of any such plans or arrangements, except to the extent that such payments are accrued on the audited combined balance sheet of the Target Companies for purposes of the Final Closing Statement. With respect to 2013 bonuses for Transferred Employees, Parent and its applicable Affiliates shall accrue for such bonuses for each Transferred Employee for each month from the beginning of the 2013 calendar year through the Effective Hire Date the monthly pro rata amount of such Transferred Employee’s actual 2012 bonus amount, subject to adjustments for reasons that are consistent with past practice, and shall pay a cash

amount to Purchaser and its Affiliates equal to the aggregate amount of such accrual for each Transferred Employee promptly following such Effective Hire Date, and the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay each such Transferred Employee a cash incentive bonus in respect of 2013 at least equal to the amount of the aggregate amount of bonus accrual paid by Parent and its Affiliates to Purchaser and its Affiliates in respect of such Transferred Employee.

(i)    For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent that such payments are accrued on the audited combined balance sheet of the Target Companies for purposes of the Final Closing Statement, Parent and its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) shall reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates to the extent that Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) pay any incentive compensation, retention, change in control or other similar compensation or benefit payments relating to any periods prior to the applicable Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, including without limitation under the Ally Financial, Inc. Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan, the Ally Financial, Inc. Annual Incentive Plans, and pursuant to the Retention Agreements) to any current or former employee, director or individual independent contractor or individual consultant of any Target Company or any Business Employee.

(j)    To avoid doubt, effective as of the applicable Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall assume or, as applicable, continue to maintain, the applicable Pension Plan(s) listed in Section 5.11(h) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter (each, a “Pension Plan” and collectively, the “Pension Plans”) and shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to such Pension Plans and shall hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates in respect of such Pension Plans.

(k)    Purchaser and Parent each shall, and shall each cause its respective Affiliates to, timely comply with all applicable labor or employment Laws of the applicable jurisdictions and any collective bargaining agreements or similar agreements applicable to the employees of the Target Companies to inform and/or consult with the relevant local unions and works councils, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to the provision of information required or desirable to be provided to any unions or works councils in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l)    Purchaser and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.11 are included for the sole benefit of Purchaser and Parent and nothing contained herein shall (i) be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan or program, (ii) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person, including any employee or former employee of any of Purchaser, Parent, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (iii) otherwise obligate Purchaser or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to maintain any particular employee benefit plan or retain the employment of any particular employee following the applicable Closing Date.

Section 5.12    Termination of Certain Affiliate Arrangements; Replacement of Guarantees and Transferred Derivatives; Certain Releases.

(i)    Subject to applicable Law, on or prior to any Closing (i) all Related Party Contracts (other than (i) those set forth in Section 5.12(a) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter (subject to the

conditions described therein) and (ii) all Intercompany Loans, which shall be treated as described in Section 5.17) shall be terminated as between Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than any Subject Company), on the one hand, and any of the Subject Companies, on the other hand, and all payables and receivables under any Related Party Contracts so terminated shall have been settled, and (ii) with respect to the Related Party Contracts terminated on or prior to such Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.12(a)(i), Parent shall deliver mutual releases executed by Parent or such Affiliates that are party to such Related Party Contracts, on the one hand, and such Subject Companies that are party to such Related Party Contracts, on the other hand, providing that no further payments are due, or may become due, under or in respect of such terminated Related Party Contracts, by either Parent or such Affiliates, on the one hand, and by such Subject Companies, on the other; provided that, while all amounts outstanding under such Related Party Contracts shall be paid in connection with such termination, in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates, or any Subject Company, pay any termination fee or other financial penalty in connection with any such termination or release.

(j)    Subject to applicable Law, at or prior to any Closing, Purchaser shall, with respect to the Subject Companies and any portion of the Target Business to be purchased and sold at such Closing, (i) arrange for substitute letters of credit, guarantees and other obligations or commitments to replace (A) any letters of credit, guarantees (including any guarantees in connection with any Securitization Transaction), surety bonds, performance bonds, capital maintenance agreements or commitments, and other contractual obligations or commitments entered into by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than solely by any of the Subject Companies) in connection with the Subject Companies and their businesses (together, the “Parent Guarantees”) listed on Section 5.12(b)(i) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter outstanding as of the date hereof and (B) any Parent Guarantees entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and in compliance with the provisions hereof, on or after the date hereof and prior to such Closing, (ii) assume all obligations under each Parent Guarantee relating to such Subject Companies and their businesses, obtaining from the creditor or other counterparty a full release (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) of all parties liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement to the creditor or counterparty, as the case may be, or fulfillment of other obligations to a counterparty in connection with amounts drawn under the Parent Guarantees or due under such Transferred Derivatives, or (iii) obtain from the creditor or other counterparty a waiver, release and discharge of any such Parent Guarantee (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent). Purchaser and its Affiliates shall make, or cause to be made, any required filings before any applicable Government Authority in connection with the foregoing. Purchaser further agrees that to the extent (1) the beneficiary or counterparty under any Parent Guarantee does not accept any such substitute letter of credit, guarantee or other obligation or commitment proffered by Purchaser, or (2) Purchaser is unable to obtain from the beneficiary or counterparty under any Parent Guarantee a full release (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) as contemplated by Section 5.12(b)(ii) or Section 5.12(b)(iii), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates against, and reimburse Parent and its Affiliates for, any and all amounts paid, including costs or expenses in connection with such Parent Guarantees, including Parent’s and its Affiliates’ expenses in maintaining such Parent Guarantees, whether or not any such Parent Guarantee is drawn upon or required to be performed, and shall in any event promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) reimburse Parent and its Affiliates to the extent any Parent Guarantee is called upon, and

Parent or its Affiliates make any payment or are obligated to reimburse the party issuing the Parent Guarantee.

(k)    Subject to Section 5.12(a) and Section 5.20, and without prejudice to the Parties’ respective indemnification obligations under Article VIII, at or prior to any Closing, (i) the Subject Companies shall execute releases acquitting, releasing and discharging Parent and its Affiliates (other than such Subject Companies) from any and all Liabilities to such Subject Companies that exist as of such Closing Date or that arise in the future from events or occurrences taking place prior to or as of such Closing Date, other than in respect of the Contracts disclosed in Section 5.12(a)(i) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter, and (ii) Parent and its Affiliates (other than such Subject Companies) shall execute releases acquitting, releasing and discharging such Subject Companies from any and all Liabilities to Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than such Subject Companies) that exist as of such Closing Date or that arise in the future from events or occurrences taking place prior to or as of such Closing Date, other than in respect of the Contracts disclosed in Section 5.12(a)(i) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.13    Notices and Consents.

(e)    Prior to each Closing, the Parties will take all commercially reasonable steps necessary, and proceed diligently and in good faith, as promptly as practicable, to cause the relevant Subject Companies to give such notices to third parties and obtain such third-party consents as Purchaser (acting reasonably) deems necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Parent shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses or make any payment to any third party in connection with providing any such assistance, other than the payment of its attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Parties agree that, in the event that any such consent necessary or desirable to preserve for the Target Business or any of the Subject Companies any right or benefit under any Contract to which a Subject Company is a party is not obtained prior to the applicable Closing, Parent will, subsequent to such Closing, reasonably cooperate (for a period not to exceed six months from the Closing Date relating to such Subject Company) with Purchaser and the relevant Subject Company in attempting to obtain such consent as promptly thereafter as practicable; provided that Parent shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses or make any payment to any third party in connection with providing any such assistance.

Section 5.14    Financing.

(a)    Until the Final Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to provide, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, such reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the preparation for and execution of any financing by Purchaser related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including to

(i) cause appropriate officers and employees to be available at their offices and on reasonable notice to meet with ratings agencies, prospective lenders, underwriters and investors, as applicable, in presentations, meetings, road shows and due diligence sessions, (ii) provide reasonable assistance with the preparation of any ratings presentations, registration statements, prospectuses, offering memoranda or other disclosure materials in connection therewith, including the preparation of appropriate discussions of business, financial statements, pro-forma financial statements and management discussion for inclusion in any of the above, (iii) provide any reasonably expected sources for any such financing with reasonable access to the properties, books and records of the Target Companies (provided that they have entered into confidentiality arrangements that are reasonably satisfactory to Parent), and (iv) direct its independent accountants to provide reasonable assistance to Purchaser, including in connection with providing customary consents and comfort letters consistent with professional standards and industry practice; provided that (A) nothing in this Section 5.14 shall require any cooperation to the extent that it would unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of Parent or its Affiliates and (B) none of Parent or its Affiliates shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee for which it has not been advanced funds or incur any other liability or provide any covenant or undertaking in connection with any such financing. Purchaser shall promptly, upon request by Parent, reimburse Parent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Parent and its Affiliates in connection with the cooperation and assistance contemplated by this Section 5.14(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.14(a) so long as Parent has acted in good faith to cooperate and assist Purchaser as set forth in this Section 5.14(a).

(b)    Until the Final Closing, in order to enable it or Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and perform its obligations thereunder, Purchaser Topco shall take all actions necessary to (i) ensure Purchaser has access to $4,000,000,000 in revolving credit facility capacity and (ii) provide financial support in the form of capital contributions to Purchaser to the extent necessary to achieve on a pro forma basis immediately following any Closing a ratio of Purchaser’s tangible equity to Purchaser’s assets of no less than 10% (it being understood that Purchaser Topco has no obligation to maintain thereafter such ratio).

(c)    Prior to the Closing in respect of the European Target Companies, Parent and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary, including obtaining any regulatory or similar approvals or Permits, to substitute GMAC PEARL B.V.

Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, consult with Purchaser in advance of any such substitution; provided that this Section 5.14(c) shall not require Parent and its Affiliates to take any corporate action, to execute any document or other instrument, or to incur any Liability that would (A) be effective prior to the Closing in respect of the European Target Companies or (B) be a Liability of any Person other than a European Target Company (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates

be required to enter into any Parent Guarantee in connection with this Section 5.14(c)). Purchaser shall consider in good faith any alternative proposal Parent may develop in respect of the treatment of the Intercompany Loans described in the previous sentence.

with whom Parent is a counterparty to an ISDA Agreement and who agrees to permit Parent to enter into a Derivative Transaction with equivalent offsetting terms to such Subject Transferred Derivative, and (ii) if Purchaser is unable to enter into the back-to-back Derivative Transaction contemplated by clause (i), Purchaser shall (which obligation may not be assigned pursuant to Section 10.2 or otherwise without the prior written consent of Parent) enter into a back-to-back Derivative Transaction with Parent (or its designated Affiliate) that provides Parent (or its Affiliate) with equivalent offsetting terms to such Subject Transferred Derivative; provided, further, that the sole amount payable in connection with any such novation or the entry into any of the foregoing transactions shall be the payment of the applicable Net Derivative Value.

(d)    If a claim shall be made by any Taxing or Government Authority, that, if successful, might result in a payment on behalf of Parent to Purchaser under Section 8.2 Purchaser shall promptly notify Parent with such potential liability in writing (a “Tax Notice”) of such claim (a “Tax Claim”) provided that Purchaser’s failure to deliver such Tax Notice to Parent shall not limit Purchaser’s rights under Section 8.2 except to the extent Parent’s position or defense is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Such Tax Notice shall provide reasonable detail to apprise Parent of the nature of the Tax Claim, taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim.

(e)    With respect to a Tax Claim or proceeding arising therefrom relating exclusively to a Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser shall have the right, at Parent’s sole expense (but subject to the same limitation on expenses as provided in Section 8.2(a)(vii)(G)), to represent the interests of the Target Companies with respect to such a Tax Claim or proceeding; provided, that:

(i)    Purchaser shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence, notices and other written materials received from any Taxing Authorities and shall otherwise keep Parent and its tax advisors advised of significant developments in the audit or dispute and of significant communications involving representatives of the Taxing Authorities;

(ii)    Parent shall have the right to consent to the selection of outside counsel or other advisors in connection with such Tax Claim or proceeding (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);

(iii)    Purchaser shall keep Parent reasonably informed and consult seriously and in good faith with Parent and its tax advisors with respect to any issue relating to such audit or dispute;

(iv)    Parent may request that Purchaser take a position in respect of such audit or proceeding, and Purchaser shall do so provided that (X) there exists a reasonable basis in fact and law for such position and (Y) the adoption of such position would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Tax liability of any of the Target Companies for any post-Closing period or portion thereof (unless Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Target Companies from such adverse effect);

(v)    Purchaser shall provide Parent with a copy of any material written submission to be sent to a Taxing Authority prior to the submission thereof and shall give serious and good faith consideration to any comments or suggested revisions that Parent or its tax advisors may have with respect thereto;

(vi)    Parent shall have the right to have a representative attend any portion of a meeting between Purchaser or any Target Company, on the one hand, and a Taxing Authority, on the other, in which any Tax for which Parent may be liable pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vii) is discussed, provided that Purchaser shall have the right to set the agenda and strategy for such meeting; and

(vii)    there will be no settlement, resolution, or closing or other agreement with respect thereto without the consent of Parent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent may reasonably withhold its consent to any settlement, resolution or closing or other agreement with respect to any Tax Claim or proceeding arising therefrom if Parent can supply Purchaser with an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel in the relevant jurisdiction that there is a reasonable basis in law and fact for Parent to achieve a more favorable result than the settlement, resolution, closing or other agreement, in which case Purchaser will continue to pursue the relevant tax audit or proceeding.

(f)    With respect to a Tax Claim or proceeding arising therefrom relating to a Straddle Period, Purchaser shall have the right, at its sole expense (but subject to indemnity pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vii), reasonably allocated taking into account the portion of the total Tax Claim that related to a Pre-Closing Period), to represent the interests of the Target Companies with respect to such a Tax Claim or proceeding; provided, that:

(vi)    Parent shall have the right, at its sole expense, to have a representative attend any proceedings and negotiations and to review any written materials sent to or received from the Taxing Authority;

(vii)    Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection with such attendance;

(viii)    Purchaser shall not settle any Tax Claim or proceeding arising therefrom without Parent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.5    Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Parent shall each be liable for and shall pay within any time period prescribed by Law or Taxing Authority (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Parent Indemnified Persons against) 50% of any transfer, documentary, filing, recording, stamp, sales, use, registration and other such taxes or fees or governmental charges, including interest or penalties thereon, in each case arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any taxes computed by reference to net income or capital gain of the Sellers, which shall be the responsibility of Parent) (“Transfer Taxes”). Purchaser shall, at its own expense, file (or cause to be filed) all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any such Transfer Taxes, in each case arising from the purchase and sale of the Target Equity Interests. If required by applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation; provided that any dispute with respect thereto shall be resolved pursuant to Section 7.12, which resolution shall be binding on the Parties. Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of Transfer Taxes payable by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Section 7.6    Cooperation; Access to Records. After each Closing of each Target Business Segment, Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate fully in preparing for and conducting any audits of, or disputes with any Taxing Authorities regarding, any Tax Returns, and shall provide such information as reasonably necessary for such audits, disputes or for the filing of all Tax Returns, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, of each Target Company in the Target Business Segment. Parent shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, after the applicable Closing, consistent with current practices of the Target Companies, retain such records, documents, accounting data and other information as are necessary for the preparation, filing and examination of Tax Returns with respect to Taxes of each Target Company and shall make available to the other Parties and to any Government Authority as reasonably requested all records, documents, accounting data and other information relating to Taxes of each Target Company until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent Parent is notified by Purchaser or the Target Companies, any extensions thereof) and shall give Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if Purchaser so requests, Parent, or the other Sellers, shall allow Purchaser to take possession of such books and records.

Section 7.7    No Tax Elections. Purchaser shall not make, and agrees to prevent the Target Companies from making, any election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code or any similar provision of Law with respect to any Target Company.

Section 7.8    No Dividends. With respect to each Target Company, prior to January 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the applicable Closing occurs, Purchaser agrees that such Target Company shall not pay any distributions or dividends to its shareholders.

Section 7.9    Tax Sharing. Prior to the applicable Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, terminate any Tax sharing, Tax allocation, and Tax indemnification agreements and arrangements of each of the Target Companies (other than any Tax sharing, allocation or Tax indemnification agreement solely between Target Companies in the same Target Business Segment), and such agreements shall have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made

thereunder on or after the applicable Closing Date with respect to any period.

Section 7.10    IRS Forms 5471. Purchaser shall cause a Form 5471, Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations, to be timely and accurately filed for each Target Company (other than a Target Company that is treated as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section ###-###-####-3(b)(2)(i)(C)) that is not a U.S. Person for such Target Company’s tax year in which Purchaser acquired such company. Each such Form 5471 shall be filed as a joint information return in respect of Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) and Parent (or its applicable Affiliates). In connection with the filing of each such Form 5471, Parent agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Purchaser, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including Forms 5471 for each applicable Target Company for the taxable years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 filed by Parent or its Affiliates) and assistance that is reasonably required to properly complete such Form 5471. Purchaser shall provide copies of the Forms 5471 to Parent no later than ten Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Forms 5471 for Parent’s review and approval.

Section 7.11    Straddle Period Tax Allocation. If a Target Company does not close its taxable year on the applicable Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the applicable Closing Date but does not begin or end on that day (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to the Pre-Closing Period for the period up to and including the applicable Closing, and (ii) to the period beginning after the applicable Closing for the period subsequent to the applicable Closing. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Target Company as of the applicable Closing (but taking into account any Tax consequences of the Closing), provided that (x) real and personal property Taxes and any other ad valorem Taxes shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and (y) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the applicable Closing and the period after the applicable Closing in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

Section 7.12    Disputes. Any dispute as to any matter covered in this Article VII shall be resolved by a nationally recognized tax expert in the jurisdiction to which the dispute relates that is mutually agreed by Parent and Purchaser or, if Parent and Purchaser do not agree on the selection of such expert, KPMG. The fees and expenses of such expert shall be borne 50% by Parent, on the one hand, and 50% by Purchaser on the other. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct, the filing of which shall not prejudice or otherwise control the dispute in respect of such Tax Return.

Section 7.13    Refunds. If Purchaser or any Target Company receives (i) a Tax refund of any Tax, (ii) a credit against Taxes otherwise payable in lieu of a refund, or (iii) the release of excess Tax reserves (which were taken into account in the calculation of Final Net Asset Value) upon a final, binding and nonappealable determination with respect to contingencies forming the basis of such reserves, which Tax refund, credit or release relate to Taxes previously paid in or provided for in respect of a Pre-Closing Period (except to the extent that such refund or credit (i) is shown as an

asset on the Final Closing Statement for purposes of calculating, or otherwise taken into account as an increase to, the applicable Final Net Asset Value, (ii) results from the carryback of a Tax attribute arising from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after Closing, or (iii) is one to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is entitled pursuant to the 2006 Agreements), Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller, within fifteen (15) Business Days following the actual receipt of such refund (or the application of such credit or release of such reserve), an amount equal to such refund (or credit or release) less (x) any expenses incurred by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any Target Company in connection with obtaining such refund (or credit or release) and (y) any Taxes incurred by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any Target Company in connection with the receipt or accrual of any such refund (or application of such credit or release). All other Tax refunds (or credits) and excess Tax reserves shall belong to Purchaser or to the applicable Target Company. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter the rights and obligations of the parties to the 2006 Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that Parent is obligated pursuant to the 2006 Agreement to make a payment to Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser by reason of the receipt by a Target Company of a Tax refund, Parent shall not be obligated to make such payment with respect to a Tax refund received by such Target Company after the applicable Closing Date.

Section 7.14    Exclusivity. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Article VII, on the one hand, and the provisions of Article VIII, on the other hand, the provisions of this Article VII shall control as to Tax matters.

Section 8.1    Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Parties with respect to each Target Business Segment contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date that is 540 days after the Closing Date for such Target Business Segment, at which time they shall terminate (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 thereafter), except:

(xiv)    that constitute (A) Taxes of the Target Companies (or any predecessor thereof) for any Pre-Closing Period (as allocated under Section 7.11), including any Taxes of the Target Company in respect of (1) income realized on the applicable Closing Date to the extent resulting from actions taken by the Target Company at the direction of Parent or any Seller (or any Affiliate of Parent or any Seller) that are outside the ordinary course of business or (2) any transactions in connection with the consummation of the Restructuring, (B) Taxes imposed on any Target Company as a result of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, (C) Taxes imposed on the Target Companies pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law), (D) Tax liability of any Target Company (including, without limitation, any U.K. income tax (whether collected through PAYE or otherwise) or employee or employer’s National Insurance Contributions) together with any interest or penalties arising therefrom, as a result of any share options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other such similar awards, which have been granted and/or awarded to any U.K. employees of a Target Company prior to Closing, pursuant to the Ally Financial, Inc.

(xv)    as a result of a final binding and non-appealable determination that changes a Tax Attribute (including by reason of the application of any Tax Attribute to offset or reduce any Tax liability described in Section 8.2(a)(vii), but excluding by reason of (i) any retroactive change in Law enacted after the Closing, (ii) the sale of the Target Companies or (iii) any change of control or change of business conduct effected on or after the Closing), which, if given effect as of the applicable Closing Date (and not taking into account any change of Law since the Closing Date), would have caused a reduction in the Net Deferred Tax Asset calculated in accordance with GAAP, in which case the Loss subject to indemnification by Parent in this Section 8.2(a)(viii) shall be equal to the amount such reduction, payable at such time and to the extent that the changed Tax Attribute that causes a reduction in the Net Deferred Tax Asset would otherwise have been used to reduce the amount of Tax paid by Purchaser a Target Company or its Affiliates.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for (i) any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Parent Fundamental Representations or the Indemnifiable Tax Representations) with respect to any claim (A) unless such claim (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess of $125,000 (the “Threshold”) (nor shall any such claim that does not meet such Threshold be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for which Parent has responsibility under clause (B) of this Section 8.2(b) below), and (B) until the aggregate amount of the Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for which the Purchaser Indemnified Persons are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds 2.00% of the Paid Purchase Price at the time the Claim Notice in respect of a claim for such Losses (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) is delivered (as may be increased pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8.2(b), the “Deductible”), after which Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be obligated for all Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) that are in excess of the Deductible, but only if such excess Losses arise with respect to any claim (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) involving Losses in excess of the Threshold, (ii) any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) with respect to any claim until the aggregate amount of the Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for which the Purchaser Indemnified Persons are finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(iii) exceeds $5,000,000 at the time the Claim Notice in respect of a claim for such Losses (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) is delivered (the “Class Action Deductible”), after which Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be obligated for all Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(iii) that are in excess of the Class Action Deductible, but only if such excess Losses arise with respect to any claim (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) involving Losses in excess of the Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Persons against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons for any Losses (1) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Deductible and the Cap in respect of any claim (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) shall increase as the Paid Purchase Price increases after the occurrence of any subsequent Closings.

Section 8.3    Indemnification by Purchaser.

(g)    After each Closing and subject to this Article VIII, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, the Sellers, and its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (the “Parent Indemnified Persons”), against, and reimburse Parent Indemnified Persons for, without duplication, all Losses that Parent Indemnified Persons may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to:

(i)    as a result of or in connection with the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article IV (it being understood that, for purposes of determining whether any breach has occurred or calculating the amount of any Losses under this Section 8.3(a)(i), all materiality and Purchaser Material Adverse Effect qualifications and exceptions contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Parent Indemnified Persons against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, the Parent Indemnified Persons for any Losses (1) pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Purchaser Fundamental Representation) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Cap, and (2) pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) in connection with the Purchaser Fundamental Representations and Section 8.3(a)(iii) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Paid Purchase Price at the time the Claim Notice in respect of a claim for such Losses (or related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances) is delivered, irrespective of the occurrence of any subsequent Closings.

Section 8.4    Claims Procedure.

(a)    Notification by the Indemnified Person. If any Person claiming indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Person”) becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Person shall (at its own expense) promptly notify in reasonable detail the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing of such claim (“Claim Notice”), including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Person has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted in writing by a third party against the Indemnified Person) (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), setting out the provisions under this Agreement upon which such claim is based, and such other information (to the extent known) as is reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Person to assess the merits of the potential claim, to make such provisions as it may consider necessary (including details of the legal and factual basis of the claim and the evidence on which the party relies (including where the claim is a result of a Third-Party Claim, evidence of the Third-Party Claim)) and setting out its estimate of the amount of Losses to the extent ascertainable which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Person from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Parties agree that (i) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation and (ii) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 8.4(a) shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived; provided, further, that if, prior to such applicable

date, a Party shall have notified the other Party in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.4(a) of a claim for indemnification (including for a contingent Loss) under this Article VIII (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date (and, in the case of a claim for indemnification for a contingent Loss, notwithstanding that such contingent Loss may not become an actual liability until the passing of such applicable date).

(b)    Cooperation by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Person in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Person and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Person under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall ensure that the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates, as applicable: (i) shall preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim, (ii) shall allow the Indemnifying Person and its advisers to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (iii) shall provide the Indemnifying Person and its Representatives reasonable access to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third-Party Claims, subject to the Indemnifying Person and its advisers agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Person may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question.

(c)    Assumption of Defense of a Third-Party Claim. Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.4(a) in respect of a Third-Party Claim (other than a Tax Claim or proceeding arising therefrom, which shall be governed by the provisions of Article VII) the Indemnifying Person may, by notice to the Indemnified Person delivered within 30 Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Person a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Person shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnifying Person shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from any and all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person does not assume the defense and control of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person, subject to Section 8.4(d), may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate. This Section 8.4(c) and Section 8.4(d) do not apply to Third-Party Claims relating to Tax Claims or proceedings arising therefrom, which shall be governed by the provisions of Article VII.

(d)    Settlement of Claims. The Indemnified Person shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Person or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, no Indemnifying Person shall have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person.

(e)    Response to Claims Not Involving Third-Party Claims. In the event any Indemnifying Person receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.4(a) that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall notify the Indemnified Person within 30 Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Person disputes its liability to the Indemnified Person under this Article VIII.

Section 8.5    Payment. In the event a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII has been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person within two Business Days of the request therefor in immediately available funds. Any Action by or before any Government Authority or arbitral body, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article VIII when the Parties hereto have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Government Order has been entered into with respect to such Action.

Section 8.6    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, for all purposes (including Tax purposes), the Parties shall treat any payment made under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 as an adjustment to the Target Business Segment Purchase Price for the Target Business Segment to which such payment relates.

Section 8.7    Provisions. To the extent that any claim for indemnification relates to a Tax or Loss for which a reserve, accrual or provision is demonstrably and identifiably reflected in the Final Closing Statement, the amount of such Tax or Loss with respect to such claim for which such reserve, accrual or provision is reflected shall be reduced to take into account the amount of such reserve, accrual or provision. The amount of any Tax or Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Person under insurance policies with respect to such Loss.

Section 8.8    Exclusive Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) prior to the Closing relating to any Target Business Segment, other than in the case of actual fraud by Parent, the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Parties for any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent contained in Article III relating to such Target Business Segment or the transfer thereof shall be, (i) in the event that each of the conditions set forth in Article VI has not been satisfied or waived, refusal to close the purchase and sale of the Target Equity Interests relating to such Target Business Segment hereunder and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c) subject to the terms set forth therein; (b) following the Closing relating to any Target Business Segment, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and

exclusive remedies of the Parties for any breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement relating to such Target Business Segment or the transfer thereof except in the case of fraud or willful breach and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of either Party to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Closing that has already occurred; and (c) following the Closing relating to any Target Business Segment, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the Parties for any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant to the extent such covenant relates to such Target Business Segment (other than those covenants set forth under Section 5.5(b), Section 5.5(c), Section 5.6, Section 5.9(e), Section 5.15 and Section 5.18 for the enforcement of which a Party may also seek specific performance or injunctive relief).

Section 8.9    Damages. The Parties agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Article VIII, any Transaction Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with any Closing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Person have any liability to an Indemnified Person for any consequential, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive or special damages, internal costs or lost profits, other than any such damages, costs or lost profits required to be paid by an Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates to any third party arising out of an Action by such third party or its Affiliates.

Section 8.10    Net Financial Benefit.

(g)    No Indemnifying Person shall be liable under this Article VIII in respect of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Person to the extent there are any offsetting savings by or quantifiable net financial benefits to such Indemnified Person arising from such Losses or the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses. This Section 8.10(a) shall not apply to any Loss relating to Taxes.

(h)    Any amount of any Loss or Tax for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.2 shall be (i) increased by the amount of any Tax cost actually incurred as an increase in Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment, (ii) net of any Tax benefit actually realized as a decrease in cash Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) prior to the date of such indemnification payment as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Loss or Tax (including as a result of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses or Taxes).

(i)    If, following an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.2, an Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) actually realizes as a decrease in cash Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) a Tax benefit as a result of the incurrence or payment of a Loss or Tax that would have reduced the amount of such indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.10(b) had such Tax benefit been actually realized prior to the date of such indemnification payment, then within ten (10) Business Days following the realization of the Tax benefit, Purchaser shall refund to Parent the amount of such Tax benefit.

Section 8.11    Contingent Liabilities. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable under this Article VIII in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes

an actual liability and is due and payable.

Section 8.12    Right to Recovery. (g) If any Indemnifying Person is liable to pay an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and any Indemnified Person recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Person (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall procure that all commercially reasonable steps are taken to enforce recovery against the third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to act or forebear to act under this Section 8.12 if such act or forbearance, as applicable, could prejudice such Person’s ability to prosecute a claim against an Indemnifying Person or any right hereunder in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Purchaser, as applicable.

(h)    If any Indemnifying Person has paid an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and any Indemnified Person recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates any Indemnified Person (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall procure that all commercially reasonable steps are taken as may be required to enforce such recovery and shall, or shall procure that the relevant Indemnified Person shall, pay to Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the third party less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or (ii) if less, the amount previously paid by the relevant Indemnifying Person to the relevant Indemnified Person.Double Claims

Section 8.13    Mitigation of Losses.

(a)    The Indemnified Persons shall cause that all commercially reasonable steps are taken and all commercially reasonable assistance is provided to avoid or mitigate any Losses, which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to or increase the Loss in respect of any claim under this Article VIII. This Section 8.14(a) shall not apply to Taxes.

(b)    Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14(b), if any liability of the Parent under Section 8.2(a) in respect of Tax can be reduced or eliminated by the surrender of Group Relief (as defined in Schedule 3.8(u)) to the relevant Target Company by any company other than Purchaser, an Affiliate of Purchaser or any other Target Company (including by way of electing that any gain on the disposal or notional disposal of an asset be treated as accruing not to the Target Company but to an Affiliate of Parent), Parent may make or procure the making of such surrender or election and Purchaser shall procure that the Target Company shall cooperate with Parent in relation to such surrender or election and make all necessary returns, claims, consents and notifications required to be made in respect of such surrender or election. The Target Company shall not be liable to give any consideration in respect of any surrender of or election in relation to Group Relief pursuant to this Section 8.14(b).

(c)    In the event that (x) the taxable income or Tax of a Target Company is increased for a Pre-Closing Period in a manner that results in an indemnification payment under Section 8.2(a), and (y) the result of such increase is the allowance of an additional deduction in computing the taxable income, an additional credit or a correlative adjustment reducing Taxes of such Target Company or its Affiliates in a taxable period beginning after the applicable Closing Date, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim such deduction, credit or correlative adjustment in the earliest taxable period for which such deduction, credit or correlative adjustment is allowable.

Section 9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Final Closing:

(h)    Consent. By the mutual written consent of Parent and Purchaser;

(i)    Delay. By either Parent or Purchaser if the Final Closing has not occurred on or before July 1, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to take any action required to fulfill any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement has caused or resulted in the failure of any Closing to occur prior to the Outside Date, and any such termination shall not affect the obligations of the Parties to complete the purchase and sale of any Target Business Segment with respect to which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI has been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied on such Closing Date), but the Closing in respect of such Target Business Segment has not yet occurred (which, for purposes of this Article IX, shall be deemed to be completed prior to July 1, 2014).

(j)    Breach. By either Parent or Purchaser, upon written notice to the other, in the event of a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Purchaser Topco or Purchaser (in the case of Parent) or Parent (in case of Purchaser), which breach would, individually or in the aggregate, result in, if occurring or continuing on every Closing Date applicable to each Target Business Segment not transferred prior to such date, the failure of any condition to the terminating Party’s obligations set forth in Article VI in respect of every Closing relating to every Remaining Target Business Segment, and which cannot be or has not been cured within 45 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching Party of such breach (or by the Outside Date, if earlier); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to Purchaser or Parent if the would-be terminating Party (including, in the case of Purchaser, Purchaser Topco) is then in material breach of its representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder; and

(k)    Denial of Regulatory Approval. By Parent or Purchaser on or after the date that at least one Required Governmental Approval in respect of each Remaining Target Business Segment has been subject to a written denial by action of each relevant Government Authority at least 60 days prior to such date and all avenues of appeal, if any, for each such Required Governmental

Approval have been exhausted; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) shall not be available to any Party if such Party is in material breach of its representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder at the time it seeks to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d).

Section 9.2    Notice of Termination. If Parent or Purchaser desires to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, it shall give written notice of such termination to (in the case of termination by Parent) Purchaser and to (in the case of termination by Purchaser) Parent.

Section 9.3    Effect of Termination. Upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, each Party’s further rights and obligations hereunder, other than the Surviving Provisions, shall terminate, but termination shall not affect any rights or obligations of a party which may have accrued prior to such termination and shall not relieve any Party from liability for any willful and material breach prior to such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 9.1(b)), any termination of this Agreement shall only have effect with respect to any Remaining Target Business Segment as of the date of such termination (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any holdback payment that has not been paid theretofore pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be forfeited by Parent).

Section 9.4    Additional Rights and Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Article IX shall prejudice or limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to Parent under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable Law, including the right to claim damages or seek specific performance.

Section 10.2    Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Party may without the prior written consent of the other Party, assign, grant any security interest over, hold on trust or otherwise transfer the benefit of the whole or any part of this Agreement; provided that (a) Parent may, following notice in writing to Purchaser no later than three Business Days prior to the effective date of the assignment, assign any or all of its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect, wholly owned Subsidiaries (other than any Target Company) or Affiliates; provided, further, that any such assignment shall not relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder; and (b) Purchaser may, following notice in writing to Parent no later than three Business Days prior to the effective date of the assignment, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any or all of its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect, wholly owned Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided that any such assignment shall not (i) result in any delay in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

(i)    Purchaser acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter this Agreement by any representation, warranty assurance, commitment, statement or undertaking not expressly incorporated into it and agrees that it will not contend to the contrary.

(j)    So far as is permitted by Law, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that its only right and remedy in relation to any provision of this Agreement shall be for breach of the terms of this Agreement to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies (including those in tort or arising under statute), including any right to rescind this Agreement.

(k)    If there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, this Agreement shall prevail (as between the Parties and as between any of Parent’s Affiliates and any of Purchaser’s Affiliates) to the extent of the inconsistency, unless otherwise expressly agreed.

Section 10.6    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Specific Performance.

(m)    THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NON-CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OR CHOICE OF LAW THAT WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF GIVING EFFECT TO THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).

(n)    Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in the courts hearing appeals therefrom unless no basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in which event each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and the courts hearing appeals therefrom, for any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason, other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 10.6, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Action is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

(p)    Each Party expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America; provided that consent by Purchaser to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 10.6 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 10.6 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of New York other than for such purpose.

(q)    Each Party acknowledges that, other than as provided in Section 8.8, it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in view of the uniqueness of the subject matter of this Agreement, the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that, other than as provided in Section 8.8, the other Party, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement and any of the terms of this Agreement (including the respective obligations of Purchaser and Parent under Section 5.5(b), Section 5.5(c), Section 5.6, Section 5.9(e), Section 5.15 and Section 5.18) and such other equitable and injunctive relief available to the Parties from any arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for equitable and injunctive relief permitted hereunder, other than as provided in Section 8.8, each Party hereby waives any claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, agrees to have each provision of this Agreement (including the respective obligations of Purchaser and Parent under Section 5.5(b), Section 5.5(c), Section 5.6, Section 5.9(e), Section 5.15 and Section 5.18) specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against it, and consents to the entry of equitable and injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.8    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 thereof 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 thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.9    Amendments; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and signed by and on behalf of each Party hereto. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived if such waiver is in writing and signed by and on behalf of the Party against whom such waiver is to be enforced. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement will be implied from any forbearance or failure of a Party to take action thereon.

Section 10.10    Payments; Currency Conversion.
