Deemed Transactions. If for any reason a Business Transaction with respect to any Unsold Business other than the Saginaw E&C Assets has not been consummated by the applicable Outside Date, GM, or an Affiliate of GM designated by GM in its discretion, shall be deemed to be a Business Optionee with respect to such Unsold Business and to have exercised and consummated the related Unsold Business Option, and the associated Business Transaction (including the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities) shall be deemed to have been consummated on the applicable Business Outside Date. Such transaction shall be deemed to occur in a manner reasonably determined by Delphi and Delphi shall have the right to make, in its reasonable discretion, any elections with respect to the terms of the applicable Business Transaction which a Business Optionee would otherwise be entitled to make under section 4.06(a) and which have not previously been made by GM, a Business Optionee or a designated GM Affiliate at least 45 days before the Business Outside Date; provided, further, that such Business Transaction shall exclude any foreign joint venture interests comprising a portion of such Unsold Business that are subject to preemptive or similar rights that have not been waived and Delphi shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause GM or its designee to receive any net proceeds from the sale of any such joint venture interest. In the event that GM designates one or more of its Affiliates under this section 4.06(c)(i), GM absolutely and unconditionally guarantees all the obligations of such Affiliate with respect to the matters described in this section 4.06(c)(i). Following the consummation of a Business Transaction pursuant to this section 4.06(c)(i), GM and Delphi shall cooperate and provide each other appropriate documentation evidencing such transaction. To the extent that an Unsold Business includes a contract or other obligations, including without limitation non-compete or non-solicitation agreements, which would restrict or inhibit GM or any of its Affiliates from engaging in, owning an interest in any Person engaged in, or providing support (financial or otherwise) to any Person engaged in, any line of business, Delphi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such contract or obligations and at the election of GM or its designated Affiliate, such contract or obligation, shall be excluded (at the cost and expense of GM) from the contracts and obligations being transferred or assumed by GM or such Affiliate pursuant to a Business Transaction; provided, however Delphi shall be entitled to cause the deemed Business Transaction to occur without including such contract or obligation and, in such case, Delphi and GM shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide GM or the applicable GM Affiliate with the rights and benefits of such excluded contract or obligation. To the extent any contract, agreement or other asset is excluded from a Business Transaction pursuant to section 4.06(a), such contract, agreement or asset shall be treated as an “Unsold Business” for purposes of this section 4.06(c) and the provisions of this section 4.06(c) shall be deemed to apply such that GM or its designated Affiliate shall be deemed a “Business Optionee” with respect to such “Unsold Business” and to have exercised and consummated an “Unsold Business Option”, and the associated “Business Transaction” (including the assumption of “Assumed Liabilities”) shall be deemed to have been consummated on the applicable Business Outside Date associated with the Unsold Business from which such contract, agreement or other asset was excluded.
