Chrysler v. Skyline, 448 Mich 113 (1995). Nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would cause such counsel to believe that this Agreement, in its entirety, would result in a violation of any fundamental policy of the State of Michigan if the choice of law of the parties were given effect.
