Pre-Closing Promptly upon the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall notify the Manufacturer regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer (or its affiliate) shall promptly apply to the Manufacturer for the issuance of a contractual right to operate an automobile dealership upon the Premises. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain Manufacturer approval as soon as possible. Seller shall promptly provide the requisite information, documents and access necessary to prepare for Closing and ensure a seamless operational transfer of the Assets. 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.

Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of Seller or its Subsidiaries, including, in the case of Buyer and its Representatives visiting any Restaurant, at least a twenty-four (24) hour prior notice to Seller and limiting such visits, at Seller’s reasonable discretion, to non-peak business hours at any such location. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Buyer shall not have access to (A) personnel records of the Business Employees relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information which would violate applicable Law or which in Seller’s opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of Liability, (B) any properties of Seller or its Subsidiaries (whether owned or leased) for purposes of conducting any environmental sampling or testing or any other invasive sampling or testing, (C) any information to the extent relating to any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability or (D) information relating to the Retained Businesses, and (ii) as and to the extent necessary to avoid contravention or waiver, Seller and its Subsidiaries may withhold any document or information the disclosure of which could reasonably be expect to violate any Contract or any Law or would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product privilege; provided that to the extent practicable, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of this subclause (ii) apply. Seller shall have the right to have a Representative present at all times during any such inspections, interviews and examinations. Buyer shall hold in confidence all such information on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to the Initial Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld for any reason, Buyer shall not contact any employees or consultants of, vendors to, or customers of, Seller or its Subsidiaries about the Business, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Prior to the Closing, and following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement by the Company to Buyer, the Company shall consider in good faith any comments to the Estimated Closing Statement reasonably proposed by Buyer and may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to reflect any or all of such comments therein; provided that the Closing shall not be delayed in respect of any such comments proposed by Buyer and in no event shall the proposal of such comments or the delivery of such Estimated Closing Statement be deemed to constitute the agreement of Buyer as to any of the estimated amounts set forth in such Estimated Closing Statement, and in no way shall the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement or the consummation of the Closing be construed as a waiver by Buyer of its rights under Section 3.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties acknowledge and agree, and each Pre-Closing Holder shall acknowledge and agree in such Pre-Closing Holder’s Letter of Transmittal, if applicable, that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the Company’s calculation of the Closing Date Company Unit Consideration, the Distribution Waterfall and the Estimated Per Interest Payment Amount or UAR Payment Amount payable with respect to each Pre-Closing Holder set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, as setting forth a true, complete and accurate listing of all items set forth therein and a true, complete and accurate calculation of the amounts to which such Pre-Closing Holders are entitled pursuant to the Company LLC Agreement and the UAR Plans, as in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in no event shall Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) have any liability to the Pre-Closing Holders or to any other Person for the calculation or allocation of any item or amount set forth therein.

Pre-Closing Reorganization Buyer agrees that any or all of the Sellers may, at any time before Closing, implement a reorganization (“Pre-Closing Reorganization”) in the manner described at SCHEDULE T, provided that any new shareholders arising as a result of such reorganization will be bound by the terms of this Agreement, deemed to be “Sellers” for the purpose of this Agreement, obliged to sell their shares in the Relevant Holdco to the Buyer on the terms and conditions contained herein, and required to provide all of the representations, warranties and covenants that are provided by the Sellers herein, shall assume all liabilities and duties of any shareholder or Seller for whom such shareholder is the successor in interest, and provided further that the Pre-Closing Reorganization: (a) will not have the effect of imposing any incremental obligations for Taxes for the Buyer, the Holdcos, the Corporation or the Subsidiaries; and (b) will not have an adverse effect on Holdcos, the Corporation or the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or Assets or impose any cost, liability or expense on any of them that is not reimbursed by Sellers. No Pre-Closing Reorganization will be considered in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant of the Sellers hereunder has been breached, other than pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.9 but excluding the consideration of the Competition Act Approval. The Sellers will provide written notice to the Buyer upon completion of any Pre-Closing Reorganization together with an updated SCHEDULE A reflecting any changes to Sellers, Shares and Purchase Price allocation resulting from the Pre-Closing Reorganization (which updated SCHEDULE A will be deemed to be incorporated into and form part of this Agreement), and access to all relevant documentation relating to such Pre-Closing Reorganization.
