(e) The Parties hereby acknowledge that each Lender that provides a Lender Consent may do so upon such terms and conditions (including with respect to timing and schedule), as are agreed upon between the Parties and such Lender. Notwithstanding any difference between the provisions of this Agreement and the timing and scheduling terms and conditions of any Lender Consent, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other and to use Reasonable Efforts to cause the Closings to occur on the Closing Dates provided for in this Section 2.5 and otherwise as expeditiously as practicable. In the event that any Lender requires that a Closing with respect to the applicable Lender Encumbered Property take place on a date other than the Closing Dates provided for in this Section 2.5, the Parties will agree to hold a Closing on such date and all applicable provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such Closing mutatis mutandis.
(f) The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for the purchase and sale of the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries and that it is intended that such entities do not own or lease (directly or indirectly) any real property other than the Real Property and certain assets related thereto. If the Parties determine at any time prior to the applicable Closing that any Company or Purchased Subsidiary owns or has the right to use any asset or property (including any real property) other than the Real Property and assets related specifically to same (including any Defected Property that is intended to be excluded from this Agreement), the Parties shall take such actions as are necessary (including by amending, modifying or supplementing this Agreement, the annexes or exhibits hereto or the Disclosure Schedule, whether to provide for additional Sellers, Companies or Purchased Subsidiaries hereto, or otherwise) in order to provide that the Companies and Purchased Subsidiaries conveyed to Buyer at the Closings only own or have the right to use the Real Property that are to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement and are required to meet the obligations of such Company or Purchased Subsidiary as landlord under the applicable Property Lease and no other asset or property (including any real property). In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including anything in Section 6.1), but subject to the prior written approval of Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), prior to the applicable Closing (it being agreed and understood that Buyer hereby consents to Seller taking the actions set forth in Section 2.5(f) of the Disclosure Schedule), Seller, the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries shall be expressly permitted to take such actions as are necessary and effect such internal restructurings as are necessary (including by distributing, dividending, assigning or otherwise transferring any assets, property (including real property), Persons or equity interests) in order to ensure that the only assets owned by the Companies and the Purchased Subsidiaries are the Real Property that are to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement and the Persons (or the equity interests in such Persons) that own or have the right to use such Real Property.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the term “Closing”, as it is used in this Agreement, shall refer to any of the Initial Closing, the Second Closing or the Third Closing, as applicable, and (ii) the term “Closing Date” shall refer to any of the Initial Closing Date, the Second Closing Date or the Third Closing Date, as applicable.

Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall terminate its Dealer Sales and Service Agreements with the Manufacturer relative to the Dealership location and execute and deliver all of the Manufacturer’s customary documents and promptly remove Manufacturer’s intellectual property from all publicly visible Excluded Assets in every form and medium (i.e., retained internet sites, signs, etc.). Seller shall fully cooperate with Buyer, and take all reasonable steps to assist Buyer, in Buyer’s efforts to obtain its own similar Dealer Sales and Service Agreements with the Manufacturer. All actions to be taken at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed to have occurred simultaneously, and no action, document or transaction will be deemed to have been taken, delivered or effected, until all such actions, documents and transactions have been taken, delivered or effected. Promptly after the Closing, Seller shall transfer to Buyer certificates of title or origin for all vehicles and all of its registration lists, owner follow-up lists and service files on hand as of the Closing, provided that such lists and files relate to the Assets. If Seller presents assets for purchase post-Closing that would have otherwise been Assets, then such assets may be purchased at a mutually agreed to price or otherwise retained by Seller. Buyer is not required to submit an offer. This does not apply to in-transit vehicles from the Manufacturer. Buyer shall retain and safeguard the pre-Closing customer paper deal jackets retained by Buyer in accordance with law, and, until Buyer destroys such records in accordance with company policy in effect from time to time, Seller shall have reasonable access to Seller’s pre-Closing customer records (e.g., paper deal jackets) and any records related to Assigned Contracts after the Closing for any legitimate purpose, such as (by way of example and not by limitation) for resolving customer inquiries.
