Transfer of Convertible Note and Derivative Contracts. GM will cause the LLC to transfer the Convertible Note and the Derivative Contracts to the New VEBA after Payments No. 4 and No. 5 have been made, within 25 business days after the Implementation Date if no legal or regulatory approvals are required, or within 10 business days of securing final legal or regulatory approval. In lieu of causing the LLC to transfer the Convertible Note, GM, in its sole discretion, may elect to transfer to the New VEBA a convertible note containing economic terms and conditions identical to those of the Convertible Note (“Alternative Convertible Note”), including accrued interest. The transfer of the Convertible Note or the Alternative Convertible Note and the Derivative Contracts will only occur as permitted by law. GM and/or the New Plan, as applicable, will apply for any necessary legal or regulatory approvals, including but not limited to the prohibited transaction exemptions described in Section 22 of this Settlement Agreement and any required federal or state bank regulatory approvals. The UAW, the Class and Class Counsel will support and cooperate with any such requests for legal or regulatory approvals. If GM and the New VEBA cannot timely obtain necessary legal or regulatory approvals, the parties will meet and discuss appropriate alternatives to the transfer of the Convertible Note that provide equivalent economic value to the New VEBA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transfer of the Convertible Note or Alternative Convertible Note will be conditioned upon execution and delivery by the New VEBA of a Security Holder and Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F to this Settlement Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, upon completion of GM’s transfer of the assets in the TAA to the New VEBA as contemplated by this Settlement Agreement, no assets should remain in the TAA and the TAA shall be terminated. If, however, assets remain in the TAA as the result of GM’s exercise of its option to transfer cash in lieu of TAA assets, GM’s deduction for payments related to the Increase in Stock Value and Dividends under Section 11 of this Settlement Agreement, or other deductions permitted under this Settlement Agreement, then GM may thereafter use or dispose of such assets, including any investment returns thereon, for any corporate purpose. After deposit Nos. 4 and 5 have been made and after transfer of the Convertible Note or transfer of the Alternative Convertible Note and the Derivative Contracts, the LLC shall be terminated. All assets transferred or contributed to the New VEBA shall be free and clear of any liens, claims or other encumbrances. If a deposit or payment or any portion thereof is made by GM to the TAA or the New VEBA by mistake under any provision of this Settlement Agreement, including, but not limited to Sections 7 through 12 of this Settlement Agreement, (i) as to the TAA, GM may deduct such amount from the TAA plus earnings thereon from the date of deposit in the TAA up to, but excluding, the date of deduction, and (ii) as to the New VEBA, the Committee shall, upon written direction of GM, return such amounts as may be permitted by law to GM (plus earnings thereon from the date of payment to but excluding the date of return) within 30 days of notification by GM that such payment was made by mistake. If a dispute arises with regard to such payment, the dispute will be resolved pursuant to Section 26 of this Settlement Agreement.
