The financial projections dated January 28, 2011 that were made available to GM by the Company (the “Projections”) (which were prepared by management and are the same projections that were delivered to the lenders under GM’s credit facility and used for purposes of establishing management compensation targets) were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time prepared, it being understood that (a) the Company makes no representation or warranty that the Company’s actual results will not be lower than or greater than as set forth in the Projections; (b) such Projections (i) are not be to viewed as facts, (ii) have not been updated to reflect any changes in assumptions from the date prepared, (iii) are based on a number of assumptions, including as to annual rates of vehicle production, some of which are based upon projections of vehicle manufacturers (including GM); and (c) actual results may materially differ from the Projections. The parties acknowledge that the actual results for the month ending January 2011 as reflected in the unaudited monthly financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4.07 reflect performance that is better than as set forth in the Projections. The Board of Managers of the Company has not reviewed or approved financial projections of the Company for the 2011 or 2012 calendar

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall affect any Claims arising between GM and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in the parties course of dealings as customer and supplier, or otherwise to the extent not pursuant to and not arising out of the LLP Agreement, Loan Facility Agreement and/or those provisions of the Access Agreement that are terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.03.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Claims waived and released pursuant to Section 5.04(b) relating to Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the LLP Agreement, such waiver and release shall be limited to Claims pursuant to or arising out of any breach or alleged breach by GM of such sections of the LLP Agreement prior to the date hereof only. Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall affect any obligation of GM to comply with its obligations with respect to Confidential Information (as defined in the LLP Agreement) from and after the date hereof

pursuant to and for the time period specified in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 of the LLP Agreement (regardless of whether such Sections of the LLP Agreement shall be amended following Closing).

Section 5.05. GM Consent Right. Until the Expiration Date, GM shall have the right to approve the buyer in connection with any sale or other disposal of any business of the Company as to which the revenues received by such business from GM represent more than 15% of such business’ total revenue for the twelve-month period immediately preceding such sale or disposal; provided, that GM’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, such determination to be based upon GM’s reasonable assessment of the potential buyer solely in GM’s capacity as a customer of the Company; and provided further, that nothing herein and no consent by GM hereunder shall modify GM’s rights under, or be deemed to constitute GM’s consent to the assignment of, its purchase orders and commercial agreements.

Section 5.06. Resignations. At or prior to the Closing, at the Company’s election provided not less than three days before Closing, GM will deliver to the Company the resignation of, or otherwise remove, the current Class A Designee Manager elected to the Company’s Board of Managers by GM pursuant to the LLP Agreement, which resignation, or removal, shall be effective as of the Closing.

Section 5.07. Confidentiality. All information that each of the Company or GM (as applicable, the “Discloser”) has disclosed or provided to the other party (as applicable, the “Recipient”), whether written or otherwise, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiations and discussions that have occurred between GM and the Company in connection therewith (collectively, the “Information”), shall be treated as confidential by the Recipient and the Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose the Information to any other Person. For purposes hereof, a Recipient shall be deemed to use commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose Information if it uses the same standard of care with respect to such Information as the Recipient uses with its own confidential information of similar kind and character, but not less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Information does not include information which: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the Recipient, (ii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Discloser, (iii) was possessed or known by the Recipient prior to the disclosure thereof to the Recipient by the Discloser, or (iv) was or is developed by the Recipient without reference to the Information, (B) Information may be disclosed by Recipient to its, and its Affiliates’, Representatives, and the Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

cause its, and its Affiliates’, Representatives to abide by the terms of this Section 5.07, and (C) nothing in this Section 5.07 shall prohibit disclosure of Information by any party to the extent that such disclosure is (i) required by Applicable Law (including the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or at the request of any Governmental Authority or other regulatory or self-regulatory body and including any disclosure contained in a registration statement on Form S-1, as such Form S-1 may be amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with an Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in the LLP Agreement), contained in a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or other filings with the SEC or made in connection with applications for approval of the transactions contemplated herein) (ii) made pursuant to subpoena or other court or Governmental Authority proceedings, (iii) made in any litigation regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) to PBGC in its capacity as holder of the Class C Membership Interests, or (v) made with the prior written consent of the other party. To the extent disclosure is required by Applicable Law, the disclosing party will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, provide as much advance notice to the other party of such proposed disclosure (including timing and content) as is reasonably practicable. The obligations with respect to Information in this Section 5.07 shall terminate two (2) years from the date hereof. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement (including all schedules hereto) and the terms and conditions hereof are not Confidential Information under the LLP Agreement or Information under this Agreement and that there is no expectation of confidentiality with respect thereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement (including all schedules hereto) will be filed by GM or its Affiliates with the SEC.

Section 5.08. Public Announcements. GM and the Company shall agree on the form of press release to announce this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law (including any disclosure contained in a registration statement on Form S-1, as such Form S-1 may be amended, filed with the SEC in connection with an Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in the LLP Agreement) and any disclosure contained in a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or other filings with the SEC or made in connection with applications for approval of the transactions contemplated herein), GM and the Company agree that neither of them will make, issue or release any public announcement or public statement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that are inconsistent with or contain Information in addition to that contained in such press release without first consulting with and obtaining the consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). To the extent such disclosure is required by Applicable Law, the disclosing party will provide as much advance notice to the other party of such proposed disclosure (including timing and content) as is reasonably practicable.

Section 5.09. Loan Facility Agreement. (a) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Loan Parties (as defined in the Loan Facility Agreement), that, effective upon Closing, General Motors LLC (as successor to General Motors Company) (“GM LLC”) shall be released from all commitments, obligations and liabilities under the Loan Facility Agreement. The Company shall (i) take all actions necessary to terminate the Loan Facility Agreement, including delivering a notice of termination of the Loan Facility Agreement in substantially the form set forth in Schedule C (the “Termination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Loan Facility Agreement) at or prior to the Closing, (ii) provide GM with a copy of the Termination Notice and evidence of its delivery to the Administrative Agent at or prior to Closing, (iii) borrow at or prior to the Closing in excess of $890 million of secured indebtedness and (iv) request receipt from the Administrative Agent of customary “payoff” letters in respect of the termination of the Loan Facility Agreement stating that upon receipt of the referenced payoff amount the Loan Facility Agreement and all commitments thereunder will terminate (“Payoff Letters”). Upon receipt of the copy of the Termination Notice and evidence of its delivery to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) above, GM hereby agrees, upon the request of the Company, to cause GM LLC to acknowledge in writing that all commitments of GM LLC under the Loan Facility Agreement have been terminated in their entirety and no amounts are due and payable to GM LLC pursuant thereto and that GM LLC consents to the release by the Administrative Agent of any Liens in the Collateral held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of GM LLC and/or any of its Affiliates that are Lenders (as defined in the Loan Facility Agreement).

(b) The Company agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Loan Parties, that it shall not, and shall ensure that no other Loan Parties will submit any requests for loans under the Loan Facility Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Loan Party submits any requests for loans under the Loan Facility Agreement on or after the date hereof, the Company agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Loan Parties, that GM LLC shall have no obligations under the Loan Facility Agreement to fund any such loans. In consideration of the willingness of GM to enter into this Agreement, the Company, on behalf of itself and the Loan Parties, hereby waives and releases GM LLC, GM and their respective Subsidiaries (and each of their respective officers, employees, representatives, agents counsel and directors) from any and all Claims pursuant to or arising out of the Loan Facility Agreement in connection with GM LLC not funding any loans requested thereunder on or after the date hereof.

Section 5.10. Restrictions on Transfer. From and after the date hereof until the Closing Date or, if earlier, the date of termination of this Agreement, GM

shall not sell or otherwise transfer directly or indirectly, or create any Lien upon (other than Liens created by or resulting from the actions of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), the Class A Membership Interests or any right, title or interest therein, or enter into any written or oral agreement to do any of the foregoing, other than at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5.11. Execution of Agreement. Each of the parties hereby agrees that it will not execute this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in Section 2.02 in the United Kingdom and that the Closing shall not take place in the United Kingdom.

ARTICLE 6

TAX MATTERS

Any capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement and used in this Article 6 shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the LLP Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 6 shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the statute of limitations for the tax year that includes the payment of the Redemption Price. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Article 6 shall not be subject to the waiver and release of claims under Section 5.04 of this Agreement.

Section 6.01. Interim Closing of the Books. For purposes of determining GM’s allocable share of Company Tax Book Profits, Tax Book Losses and corresponding items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction under Article VI of the LLP Agreement for the Company’s tax year including the Closing Date, the Company shall use, and the Board of Managers will specify under Section 6.3 of the LLP Agreement, the interim closing of the Company’s books method described in Treasury Regulations § 1.706-1(c)(2) and Proposed Treasury Regulations § 1.706-4, and the Company shall utilize the calendar day convention described in Proposed Treasury Regulations § 1.706-4(e)(1).

Section 6.02. Allocations. The Company shall allocate Tax Book Profits and the corresponding items of taxable income and gain realized through the Closing Date to the Members of the Company through the Closing Date in accordance with Article VI of the LLP Agreement, which will result in (i) except with respect to any Tax Book Profits and corresponding items of taxable income and gain specially allocated to certain holders of Class B Membership Interests in accordance with Article VI of the LLP Agreement, such Tax Book Profits and corresponding items of taxable income and gain being allocated to the Members through the Closing Date in accordance with the Applicable Distribution Percentages pursuant to Article VI and Section 5.1(a) of the LLP Agreement and (ii) no allocations being made to GM under Sections 6.5 through 6.8 of the LLP Agreement for the portion of the Company’s tax year ending on the Closing Date.

(b) The Company represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, none of the Company’s non-U.S. Subsidiaries was a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Code Section 1297 at any time after the date the Company acquired such Subsidiary and before the Closing Date.

Section 6.04. Tax Returns. (a) The parties shall file all tax returns, including any Schedules K-1s, consistent with, and shall not take any positions for tax purposes inconsistent with, the provisions of this Article 6.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Instrument of Transfer to the contrary, including Section 5.04, the provisions of Section 4.3(d) of the LLP Agreement, including the consent requirement in clause (ii) of that section, shall remain in full force and effect (but only with respect to pre-Closing Date items included on the return described in that section) following the redemption as if, solely for this purpose, the redemption had not occurred, until the Company’s tax returns for all tax periods ending before or that include the Closing Date have been finally filed.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the 2010 taxable year or any taxable year that ends after the Closing Date, GM shall not act, or be requested to act, as the Company’s Tax Matters Member after the Closing Date, and shall not sign, or be requested or required to sign, the Company’s tax returns for the 2010 taxable year or any portion of the 2011 taxable year. The Company agrees to use good faith efforts to appoint another qualified Member of the Company to act as Tax Matters Member with respect to the Company’s 2009 taxable year. At the request of the Company, GM shall cooperate fully with the Company in effecting the certification pursuant to Treasury Regulations § 301.6231(a)(7)-1(d) of such other Member of the Company as Tax Matters Member; provided that the Company shall (i) if GM is no longer a Member at the time such other Member is selected, certify to GM that the other Member was selected as the Tax Matters Member for such taxable year(s) in accordance with the LLP Agreement and (ii) indemnify GM (A) for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, not to exceed $15,000, GM incurs in providing the certification described in Treasury Regulations § 301.6231(a)(7)-1(d) and (B) against any liability arising as a result of such other Member not having been selected in accordance with the

LLP Agreement as provided in Treasury Regulations § 301.6231(a)(7)-1(d)(4), unless the failure to select such other Member in accordance with the LLP Agreement results solely from any action or omission of GM. To the extent GM performs any duties as Tax Matters Member, notwithstanding Section 5.04 of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 4.3(b) and Section 11.1 of the LLP Agreement shall continue to apply to GM with respect to it acting as Tax Matters Member as if GM continued as a Member of the Company. In addition, the Company agrees to assist and provide resources to GM in support of its role as Tax Matters Member to the extent reasonably requested by GM.

Section 6.05. Cooperation. (a) The Company agrees to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by GM, in connection with the preparation and filing of GM’s tax returns as they relate to the Company and the conduct of any audit, appeals, litigation or other proceeding with respect to GM’s taxes as they relate to the Company. GM agrees to (i) provide a statement to the Company specifying GM’s tax basis in its Class A Membership Interests and (ii) cooperate fully in providing any information reasonably requested by the Company to substantiate the calculation or determination of that tax basis. In each case, such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the retention and, upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the filing of any such tax return or the conduct of any such audit, appeal, litigation or other proceeding, or the making of such adjustments, as the case may be, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis within normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. In addition, the Company shall make available to GM all information reasonably requested by GM for the entire calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs in connection with GM’s reporting, tax and accounting requirements.

(b) The Company shall determine, in accordance with its past practice and to its knowledge, whether any of the Company’s non-U.S. Subsidiaries was a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Code Section 957 (i) during the 2010 taxable year or (ii) during the pre-Closing Date portion of the 2011 taxable year and shall inform GM of that determination by April 30, 2011 with respect to the 2010 determination and by March 15, 2012 with respect to the 2011 determination, in each case in connection with the filing of GM’s tax returns.

(c) Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Company shall, at GM’s expense with respect to any incremental cost to the Company, prepare or cause to be prepared and shall deliver to GM within 90 days of the Closing Date a good faith draft estimate of GM’s Schedule K-1 for the taxable year including the Closing Date with respect to GM’s investment in the Company.

Section 6.06. Transfer Taxes. Any U.K. stamp taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Company.
