(b) This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided, however, that (i) the rights set forth in Article II hereof shall inure to the benefit of a Permitted Transferee; and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on any Permitted Transferee.

Section 6.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents executed on the date hereof constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and are in full substitution for any and all prior agreements and understandings among them relating to such subject matter, including without limitation, the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2004, by and among International Motor Cars Group I, L.L.C., International Motor Cars Group II, L.L.C., Mitsui and Penske (the “Prior Stockholders Agreement”), and no party

Section 6.7 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Section 6.8 Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, any number of counterparts of this Agreement may be executed by any one or more parties hereto, and each such executed counterpart shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original, but all of which shall constitute, and shall be deemed to constitute, in the aggregate but one and the same instrument.

Section 6.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof which might result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States of America located in the County of New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document to its respective address set forth in Section 6.3 shall be effective service of process for any action or proceeding brought against it in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York or the United States of America located in the County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument.

term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

Section 6.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached, and further acknowledge and agree that money damages are an inadequate remedy for the breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that would be suffered in the event of such breach. The parties hereto accordingly agree that they each shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of any provision of this Agreement and injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches of any provision of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled by law or equity.

(b) The parties hereto further agree that they shall not be permitted or have the right to terminate or suspend performance of any provision of this Agreement, it being agreed that all provisions of this Agreement shall continue and be specifically enforceable in all events and under all circumstances until terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any events, occurrences, actions or omissions before or after the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that they shall not be permitted to, and shall not, bring any claim seeking to terminate or suspend performance of any provision of this Agreement or seeking any determination that any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 6.11) is invalid, inapplicable or unenforceable.

Section 6.12 Transfers to Affiliates. In the event of any Transfer of capital stock of the Company by any party hereto to an Affiliate of such party, prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer, such Transferee shall execute a joinder to this Agreement and shall otherwise agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement in the same manner as the Transferor. The Transferor and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally responsible for the obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement.

Prior to making any filings required by Sections 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each of Penske, on the one hand, and Mitsui, on the other hand, shall provide the other parties with a reasonable opportunity to review such filings and comment thereon.
