AMENDED AND RESTATED UNITED STATES CONSUMER FINANCING SERVICES AGREEMENT

Parties

This Amended and Restated United States Consumer Financing Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 22, 2009, and is made effective as of December 29, 2008, by and between General Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GM”), and GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GMAC”).

Recitals

A. GM, directly and through its Subsidiaries, is a worldwide manufacturer, distributor, marketer, and seller of motor vehicles, including used vehicles, and related goods and services (“GM Products”), offered for sale to retail Consumers through a network of dealers authorized by GM and its Subsidiaries (“GM Dealers”), including certain dealers that are wholly- or partially-owned by GM or its Subsidiaries.

B. GMAC is a worldwide diversified financial services company that directly, and through its Subsidiaries, provides automotive and non-automotive finance and lease, insurance, banking, mortgage lending, and other services to a variety of affiliated and unaffiliated Consumers (“GMAC Products”).

C. GM and GMAC provide significant services and resources to each other. The transactions, relationships, interactions, and dealings between GM and GMAC (“Dealings”), contribute significantly to the success of GM and GMAC, generally providing efficiencies and enhanced results for each of them, including business opportunities and referrals, data and resource sharing, economies of scale, leveraging staff expertise, and administrative conveniences. These efficiencies flow from, among other things, four aspects of their relationship: (1) the formal ownership structure that existed historically, resulting in tax, legal, and administrative efficiencies; (2) propinquity—their history, familiarity, proximity, and common corporate culture and industry experience – allowing informal and simplified interactions including infrastructure sharing; (3) sound business practices, including economies of scale and leveraging of resources; and (4) their “shared”/”common” customers (i.e., GM Dealers and purchasers of GM Products). Combined, these efficiencies result in highly valuable and significant organizational, operational, business, and financial synergies (“Synergies”). Although specific aspects of the Dealings may benefit one party more than the other from time to time, the Synergies produce net positive effects for GM and GMAC jointly and individually.

D. As a part of its business, GMAC supports the sale of GM Products by purchasing from GM Dealers, at market rates and below market rates, retail installment sale contracts and Finance Lease contracts (collectively, “Retail Financing”) and Operating Lease contracts (collectively “Consumer Financing”).

E. The parties entered into that certain United States Consumer Financing Services Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original US CFSA”), which established certain terms and conditions that apply to certain of the Dealings related to Consumer Financing in the United States and established a framework for negotiating, documenting, administering, and enforcing future Dealings related to Consumer Financing in the United States.

F. On December 24, 2008, in connection with the conversion of GMAC Bank, a wholly owned Subsidiary of GMAC, from a Utah industrial loan company to a Utah commercial bank, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approved (the “Approval”) the application of GMAC to become a bank holding company under Section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into between GM and GMAC, dated as of December 29, 2008 (the “Letter Agreement”), in connection with the Approval, GM and GMAC agreed to amend and restate the Original US CFSA in accordance with the terms set forth in the Letter Agreement.

G. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein provided, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the parties agrees that the Original US CFSA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

FRAMEWORK

SECTION 2.1 Contractual Framework.

(a) This Agreement memorializes the Dealings related to Consumer Financing in the United States and establishes the contractual framework for negotiating, documenting, administering, and enforcing future Dealings in the United States related to Consumer Financing. GMAC will provide Consumer Financing services to GM Consumers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such terms are intended to preserve the customer loyalty and dealer support benefits that

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

historically accrued to GM as a manufacturer with an exclusive financing arm while at the same time assure that GMAC receives a competitive level of return. GMAC recognizes GM’s desire to grow its automotive business and will continue to support GM in that effort to the extent that it is in keeping with GMAC’s business interests.

(b) The overriding principles that govern the interpretation, administration, and implementation of this Agreement, and that reflect GM’s and GMAC’s core intent as to their business relationship under this Agreement, are as follows (“Overriding Principles”):

(i) The pricing of Retail Financing contracts under this Agreement will be based on a [***] pricing construct. Such construct will be designed and structured with the overall goal that GMAC [***]. [***]. “[***]” pricing means, with respect to any Retail Financing product, GMAC’s [***] to provide such product and related services (e.g., origination, servicing, etc.), assuming GMAC and GM have complied with all of their obligations under this Agreement, including Section 2.1(b)(ii)(B) below, less any [***],[***].

(ii) Subject to applicable and/or appropriate safety and soundness standards:

(A) GMAC’s primary business objectives will continue to include supporting the distribution, marketing, and sale of GM Products to enhance GM’s profits; and

(B) GMAC will continuously use commercially reasonable best efforts to minimize its costs of doing business to help maximize competitive Rate Support pricing.

(iii) GMAC will continue to provide broad support to GM.

(c) The Overriding Principles form binding, affirmative obligations of the parties and apply to all Dealings under this Agreement, unless (i) otherwise indicated herein, or (ii) GM and GMAC specifically agree to exclude one or more Dealings from application of the Overriding Principles. The Overriding Principle described in Section 2.1(b)(i):

(i) does not apply to any Dealings or portions thereof that relate to Operating Leases;

(ii) will not be deemed to have been breached or otherwise violated if GMAC voluntary chooses to price Retail Financing contracts below the prices at which it is entitled to price in accordance with the terms of Exhibit B; and

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(iii) will not be applied for the purposes of either:

(A) Amending or otherwise modifying the terms of any Consumer Financing contract after it is booked or program terms or other arrangements between GM and GMAC related thereto; or

(B) Providing for any “true-up” or other form of payment or compensation the purpose of which is to compensate either GMAC or GM in the event that any item projected in connection with a Consumer Financing contract is subsequently determined after such contract is booked to be different from such projected amount because the underlying factual assumptions on which such projected amounts were based (including assumed interest rates, vehicle sales rates, funding availability, capital requirements and general economic conditions) are determined to have been inaccurate. [***]. The provisions of this paragraph (B) do not prohibit or limit a payment made for any other purpose, including any payment made to correct a typographical error made in calculating amounts determined in connection with the pricing of a Consumer Financing contract.

(d) Subject to Section 2.1(c) above and except as otherwise described herein, as deemed necessary or appropriate by either party, GM and GMAC will periodically revisit the terms of this Agreement to assess whether they continue to achieve the Overriding Principles, notwithstanding any market factors, mistakes in documentation, errors in calculation, or other unanticipated facts and circumstances.

(i) If any such assessment reveals that the terms of this Agreement are not achieving the Overriding Principles, then GM and GMAC will negotiate revised terms and amend this Agreement as reasonably necessary to achieve the Overriding Principles. Any such amendment shall be retroactively effective back to the date on which the Coordinating Committee first formally addressed such amendment.

(ii) The Coordinating Committee will review and discuss changes contemplated by this Section 2.1(d).

(iii) Any Dispute as to whether a change to this Agreement is necessary or appropriate under this Section 2.1(d) will be the subject of the Dispute resolution process of Section 10.7 of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 Financing to Other Automobile Manufacturers. Nothing in this Agreement precludes GMAC from providing or continuing to provide any financial services to vehicle manufacturers other than GM or dealers other than GM Dealers, or from providing or continuing to provide mortgage, insurance, banking, or other non-automotive financial services in the ordinary course of business.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

SECTION 2.3 Documentation. The terms and conditions related to individual Dealings in the United States involving Consumer Financing will be arm’s length and reasonably documented using written forms, contracts, or instruments (“Implementing Agreements”). The nature and extent of such Dealings will be publicly disclosed to the extent required by law and as otherwise provided by this Agreement.

SECTION 2.4 Process Integrity. The parties will develop processes and promulgate policies to implement this Agreement and to take corrective action for failures to adhere to them. The Dealings (including compliance with the Overriding Principles) will be subject to regular compliance verification by the parties and their outside auditors (“Compliance Audits”).

SECTION 2.5 Compliance. GM and GMAC will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws and legal requirements in connection with the services contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining and maintaining all required licenses, authorizations, and permits.

SECTION 2.6 Cooperation. GM and GMAC will reasonably cooperate with and assist each other in carrying out the other’s obligations under this Agreement and will execute and deliver all documents and instruments necessary and appropriate to do so.

SECTION 2.7 Information and Reports. GM and GMAC will prepare and deliver to each other on a regular, timely basis, such information and reports as the other reasonably requests or requires from time to time regarding any and all aspects of the Dealings (including compliance with the Overriding Principles) under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.8 Scope; Subsidiaries. This Agreement applies to Dealings related to Consumer Financing in the United States only, including Puerto Rico. The respective Subsidiaries of GM and GMAC are not parties to this Agreement and may not be legally bound by this Agreement unless and until they agree to be so bound. GM and GMAC will use their reasonable best efforts to cause their Subsidiaries that have Dealings related to Consumer Financing in the United States to agree to be bound by this Agreement by executing the opt in letter (an “Opt-in Letter”) in the form of Exhibit A attached to this Agreement. If the Subsidiaries agree to be bound by this Agreement, the terms party, parties, GM, and GMAC will be interpreted to include the relevant GM Subsidiary and GMAC Subsidiary, as appropriate. Until such time, both GM and GMAC will use their best efforts to cause their Subsidiaries engaged in Dealings related to Consumer Financing to honor and perform the obligations set forth in this Agreement as if they were parties to this Agreement. If any Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of GM or GMAC, the other party may terminate all rights under this Section with respect to such Subsidiary and the former Subsidiary’s rights and obligations under any Opt-in Letter effective upon 180 days notice. Any Implementing Agreement to which such entity is a party continues in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 2.9 Coordinating Committee.

(a) Responsibilities. GM and GMAC hereby create a committee to be responsible for considerations around joint policies and programs, and for coordination of joint activities between the parties in the United States (“Coordinating Committee”). Also, any disputes under this Agreement that cannot be resolved between the parties at the working level will in the first instance be referred to this Committee. The Committee will, in normal course, receive such information from GM and GMAC as is necessary and appropriate to facilitate their work together. The Members of the Coordinating Committee may share such information as appropriate within their respective organizations.

(b) Composition. An approximately equal number of Coordinating Committee Members will be designated by each of GM and GMAC, with the total membership being between six and 10 members, as agreed from time to time by the Committee. Additionally, each of GM and GMAC may designate up to five ad hoc “ex officio” members. Guests with applicable expertise may attend meetings by invitation of the Committee. Unless agreed otherwise by the Committee, Members and ex officio members will be employees of GM or GMAC with a reasonable level of decision-making authority in order to facilitate prompt and efficient resolution of matters before the Committee. Exhibit D sets forth Members, Lead Members, and other designations by GM and GMAC to the Committee, as of the date hereof.

(c) Principal Contacts. Each of GM and GMAC will designate one of their Coordinating Committee Members to be the Lead Member who will be the principal point of contact and coordination outside of formal meetings of the Committee.

(d) Chair. One Member will be appointed Chair of the Committee for purposes of coordinating meeting discussions. The position of Chair will rotate between Members designated by GM and those designated by GMAC each April 1 unless otherwise agreed by the Committee.

(e) Secretary. There will be a Secretary to the Committee who may be a Member, ex officio member or other employee of GM or GMAC as agreed by the Committee. The Secretary will work with the Lead Members to prepare an agenda for each meeting, and will prepare minutes of meetings which will be circulated to the Lead Members for approval in advance of being finalized and distributed to the Coordinating Committee and ad hoc members.

(f) Meetings. The Committee will generally meet in formal session on a monthly basis; an annual calendar of meetings will be established by them and kept by the Secretary. Special meetings may be called as appropriate by the Lead Members. Attendance at any meeting may be by phone.

(g) Voting. Committee decisions will be by consensus; i.e., GM Members collectively have one “vote” and GMAC Members collectively have one “vote”, with consensus required for action to be taken. At least two Members from each of GM and GMAC will be necessary for a quorum at any meeting, whether regularly scheduled or special, and minutes will be made to record all decisions. If the person then designated as Chair or Secretary is not present at any meeting, replacement(s) may be established for purposes of that meeting.

ARTICLE III

CONSUMER FINANCING

SECTION 3.1 General Service Obligations and Standards.

(a) Recognizing its historical role as the primary Consumer Financing source through which GM provides GM Special Programs to support the marketing and sale of GM Products, and taking into account the Synergies, subject to Section 3.5 below, GMAC will provide full and fair consideration of Applications and used vehicle applications received from GM Dealers, applying credit risk underwriting standards that are consistent with current and historical practices, and GMAC will purchase such contracts, if appropriate, in GMAC’s sole discretion:

(i) In accordance with its usual and customary standards for creditworthiness; and

(ii) Spanning a broad spectrum of prime and non-prime Consumers, consistent with current and historical practice.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, GMAC’s decision whether to provide Consumer Financing to any Consumer in any case will be made in its sole and absolute discretion and pursuant to its business judgment, without influence by GM.

(c) GMAC will further provide assistance to GM Dealers to finalize Consumer contracts related to Consumer Financing consistent with current and historical practice and will not take any measures that are inconsistent with market practice that reduce the likelihood of Consumers seeking to buy or lease vehicles through GMAC Consumer Financing (for example, onerous application fees, etc.).

(d) GMAC will continue to provide high levels of service to GM, GM Dealers, and Consumers consistent with current and historical practice. GMAC will actively work to increase the ease of doing business, completing transactions, and resolving disputes with GM, GM Dealers, and Consumers. Neither GM nor GMAC will take any corporate-wide actions that adversely impact the image of the other party.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(e) GM will set all terms and conditions of all GM Special Programs, including Consumer eligibility, program dates, covered GM Products, applicable Consumer credit tiers, lending duration of offered Consumer Financing products (e.g., 24 months, 36 months, etc.) and geography. A GM Special Program may contain any terms and conditions determined by GM (e.g., it may relate to one or more GM Products, one or more GM Nameplates, and one or more Consumer credit tiers), except that:

(i) No GM Special Program may contain more than one type of underlying financial product (e.g., a single GM Special Program may not contain both Operating Lease and retail installment sale contract products); and

(ii) GM may not intentionally design a GM Special Program with the intent of excluding GMAC’s participation in it. If GMAC believes GM has done such a thing, it can invoke the Dispute resolution process as outlined in Section 10.7. The fact that GMAC is unwilling or unable to participate in a GM Special Program, or the fact that GMAC does not find the terms of a GM Special Program attractive, do not, in and of themselves, mean that GM has intentionally designed a GM Special Program with the intent of excluding GMAC’s participation.

SECTION 3.2 Exclusivity and Related Terms for Certain GM Special Programs. Subject to the principles and exceptions outlined in this Section 3.2, whenever GM offers a GM Special Program regarding a Retail Financing product, it will do so exclusively through GMAC. The terms of this Section 3.2 shall not apply to any GM Special Program that relates to Operating Leases.

(a) As an overriding principle (different from the Overriding Principles defined in Section 2.1 above) that governs the interpretation, administration, and implementation of this Section 3.2, and reflecting GM’s and GMAC’s core intent as to Retail Financing exclusivity, GM and GMAC will work together with third parties regarding Third Party Programs, and GM shall be permitted to enter into Third Party Programs, in pursuit of opportunities to increase GM’s sales and profits in ways that are mutually beneficial to both GM and GMAC.

(i) In this regard, GM and GMAC will cooperate regarding Third Party Programs, and GM shall be permitted to enter into Third Party Programs, where only one party benefits, so long as the other party is not negatively affected, or under other circumstances, including the following non-exhaustive list of arrangements that are acceptable:

(A) Capital Markets Disruption. During a Capital Markets Disruption, [***], then GM has the right to provide such GM Special Program through a Third Party Program. In such a case, GM would not [***] contemplated by Section 3.2(b)(ii)(C) of this Agreement, but GMAC’s exclusivity payment would be reduced on a pro-rata basis for the duration of the Third Party Program using the calculation in Section 3.3(b) below. GM shall terminate any such Third Party Program within [***] after the earlier of:

(1) The end of the Capital Markets Disruption, as determined pursuant to Section 3.5; and

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(2) The provision by GMAC to GM of a written notice, including by e-mail and other electronic means, that it is [***].

(B) Non-Routine Products. If no Capital Markets Disruption exists and [***], then GM has the right to offer such GM Special Program through a Third Party Program. In such a case, GM would not [***], but GMAC’s exclusivity payment would be reduced on a pro-rata basis for the duration of the Third Party Program using the calculation in Section 3.3(b) below. GM will terminate any such Third Party Program within [***] after the provision by GMAC to GM of a written notice that it is [***].

(C) [***]. If no Capital Markets Disruption exists and [***], then GM could provide that GM Special Program through a Third Party Program where it would benefit GM, so long as it would not have a material negative effect on GMAC. In such a case, GM and GMAC will negotiate the terms and conditions of such Third Party Program, including reductions in GMAC’s exclusivity payment, in good faith for a period of up to five Business Days and GMAC will not unreasonably withhold its agreement. If GM and GMAC fail to reach an agreement by the expiration of such five Business Day period, GM may begin offering such Third Party Program under reasonable terms and conditions determined by it, and GMAC shall have the right to Dispute the offering of such program under the Dispute resolution process in Section 10.7. [***].

(ii) Determinations of whether GMAC is [***] in a GM Special Program under the preceding subparagraphs (A) through (C) will be based on good faith, reasonable consideration of the surrounding facts and circumstances, including the [***] to GMAC of participating in the GM Special Program; [***] on GMAC; and whether GMAC has, or can reasonably acquire and implement within the applicable timeframe, [***], to participate in the GM Special Program. GMAC will be required to, and will be evaluated based upon, its [***] to provide the entire GM Special Program in question. GMAC will be deemed to be [***] to provide a GM Special Program if it can or will provide only parts of a GM Special Program.

(A) If a GM Special Program has terms consistent in all material respects, with a prior GM Special Program, GM may choose to notify GMAC of the terms of such GM Special Program either (1) orally or (2) in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means). GMAC will have a period of one Business Day following such notification to respond to GM regarding [***]. If GM originally notified GMAC of such GM Special Program orally, then GMAC may respond orally or in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means). If GM originally notified GMAC of such GM Special Program in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means), then GMAC must respond in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means).

(B) If a GM Special Program has terms that are not consistent in all material respects, with a prior GM Special Program, GM shall notify GMAC of the terms of such GM Special Program in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means). GMAC will have a period of three Business Days following such notification to respond to GM regarding [***]. Such response of GMAC shall be in writing (including by e-mail or other electronic means).

(b) In addition to any Third Party Program that is permitted under Section 3.2(a) above, and regardless of whether or not a Capital Markets Disruption shall be in effect, the following additional Third Party Programs are permitted as exceptions to GM’s general exclusivity obligations:

(i) With regard to Consumer Financing of Consumers of the Saturn brand (“Saturn”), Saturn may maintain its current practice of offering finance programs through GMAC, Americredit (“Americredit”) or XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank (“Chase”), so long as the program parameters offered to Chase or to Americredit are no better than those offered to GMAC and the subsidies offered through Chase or through Americredit result in no more favorable (to the Consumer) required down payments or monthly payments (based solely on Saturn’s program requirements) than those offered through GMAC. Nothing in this Agreement precludes GMAC, Chase or Americredit from offering additional incentives to Consumers of Saturn in addition to what is offered by Saturn.

(ii) Through December 31, 2010, GM will be permitted to offer Third Party Programs under the following terms and conditions (this Section 3.2(b)(ii) does not apply to or limit (A) GM Special Programs offered under Section 3.2(a) above or (B) GM Special Programs offered through Americredit or Chase under Section 3.2(b)(i) above):

(A) Subject to paragraph (D) below, the Third Party Support Rate offered to GM must be [***] for such GM Special Program (or, if GMAC does not offer such GM Special Program, GMAC’s [***]) at the time GM commences the Third Party Program (“Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold”). For purposes of determining whether or not the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold is met, GM will perform a pricing comparison in

accordance with framework provided in Exhibit E hereto (the “Pricing Comparison Framework”, and each pricing comparison completed under such framework, a “Pricing Comparison”). GM will perform all Pricing Comparisons in accordance with the Pricing Comparison Framework, unless the terms of the underlying financing program offered by the third party are such that the Pricing Comparison Framework does not evaluate such program accurately in all material respects. In any such case, GM and GMAC will jointly determine and agree upon the appropriate modifications to be made to the Pricing Comparison Framework to be used for such program in order to provide for an evaluation that is accurate in all material respects.

(1) Notwithstanding Section 9.1 of this Agreement, GM may share GMAC’s Support Rates and financing program descriptions, with prospective third parties, on the express conditions that:

(a) GM’s disclosure of, and such third party’s receipt and use of, such information is for the sole purpose of determining whether such third party can meet the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold; and

(b) Such third party has agreed in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto to be bound by nondisclosure and use obligations with respect to such information.

(2) To the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, GM will notify the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff and the GMAC Lead Member of the Coordinating Committee that GM is considering offering a Third Party Program at least one Business Day before GM sends the relevant Pricing Comparison(s) to the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff.

(3) Prior to the implementation of any Third Party Program under this Section 3.2(b)(ii), GM will provide the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff with the Pricing Comparison for such program. The GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff will verify that this comparative analysis has been performed correctly in accordance with the Pricing Comparison Framework and that the Third Party Support Rate for such program meets the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold. The GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff will respond to GM in writing regarding its determination within three Business Days of receipt of such Pricing Comparison; provided, however, that the GMAC

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

Pricing Comparison Audit Staff may make reasonable requests to GM for additional information related to their analysis to determine compliance with the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold and, if any such request is made, the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff is not required to so respond in writing until the third Business Day after it has received all such information. If the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff fails to respond in writing to GM within such three Business Day period (as it may be extended in connection with any request for additional information), then the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff will be deemed to have conclusively verified that the Pricing Comparison has been correctly performed and the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold has been met. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, upon the earlier of (a) verification by the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff that the Pricing Comparison has been correctly performed and the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold is met and (b) the third Business Day after delivery of the Pricing Comparison by GM to the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff (whether or not the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff has requested additional information, believes that the Pricing Comparison has been correctly performed, believes that the Pricing Comparison Framework needs to be modified under Section 3.2(b)(ii)(A), or believes that the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold is otherwise met), GM may begin offering the applicable Third Party Program.

(4) If the GMAC Pricing Comparison Audit Staff does not agree, for whatever reason, that the Pricing Comparison has been correctly performed and the Third Party Support Rate meets the Year 1-2 Competitive Threshold, the Dispute (if pursued by GMAC) will follow the Dispute resolution process set forth in Section 10.7. GM will have the right during the Dispute resolution process to continue the Third Party Program, and if the Dispute resolution process finds that the Third Party Support Rate did not meet the Competitive Threshold, then the consequences will be determined through the Dispute resolution process.

(iii) Lease Pull Ahead. Pricing for lease pull-ahead products will be determined in accordance with Section 3.11.

(iv) Outstanding Operating Leases. Pricing for outstanding Operating Leases will be determined in accordance with Section 3.8.

SECTION 3.7 Reporting.

(a) So long as GMAC books at least 25% of all Consumer Financing contracts booked under all GM Special Programs, GMAC will continue to provide GM with the Divisional Highlights reports (as accessed through the GMAC Finance report archive website, and as modified from time to time by agreement of both GM and GMAC) that it has historically produced exclusively for GM’s benefit and use. Reports include information and statistics on Applications (including approvals, rejections, and qualifications), contracts booked, terminated contracts, termination schedules, rate and residual support, and other information for the month and for the calendar year-to-date, with most of it available by division, model, and region.

(b) In an effort to improve GM incentive efficiency and forecasting ability, so long as GMAC books at least 25% of all Consumer Financing contracts booked under all GM Special Programs, GMAC will provide GM with an extract of the GMAC Information Warehouse database. GMAC in its sole discretion will determine the content of the extract, and periodic updates thereof, but will attempt to reasonably respond to GM’s requests for content. Data will be limited to the extent necessary to conform to all privacy and legal restrictions. GM and GMAC will also continue to work together to eliminate any unnecessary Divisional Highlight reports. GM will pay reasonable costs, if any, for maintaining the extract, net of any savings from eliminating Divisional Highlight reports.

(c) GM and GMAC may make reasonable requests of each other for additional data, to which each will respond promptly. Neither GM nor GMAC will be required to provide information that it deems in its good faith business judgment to be confidential or significantly burdensome to produce.

SECTION 3.8 Outstanding Vehicle Leases.

(a) Residual Support. As part of the residual support arrangement between GM and GMAC on vehicle leases dated between November 30, 2006 and December 23, 2008 and booked by GMAC where the underlying lease is from a GM Dealer:

(i) The amount of residual support provided by GM to GMAC is considered to be the difference between the contract residual value (less any residual support provided by GMAC itself) and the Adjusted ALG value of such vehicle (“Original Residual Support Guaranty”). To reimburse GMAC (or GM), as applicable, for the amount by which the Original Residual Support Guaranty is not fully realized (or is in excess) at the end of the lease, at the conclusion of the lease contract, a true-up payment will be made by either GM or GMAC, as appropriate, which is calculated as the difference between the Actual Residual Support Payment Required and the Expected Residual Support Payment (“True-up Payment”).

(A) The Expected Residual Support Payment (the “Expected Residual Support Payment”) was paid by GM at lease inception and represented that portion of the Original Residual Support Guaranty expected to be owed to GMAC upon remarketing of the returned lease vehicle.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(B) The Actual Residual Support Payment Required (the “Actual Residual Support Payment Required”) is calculated as follows:

(1) For instances where the actual resale proceeds are less than the contract residual (less any residual support provided by GMAC itself), the difference between the contract residual value (less any residual support provided by GMAC itself) and the actual resale proceeds, up to a maximum of the Adjusted Residual Support Guaranty.

(2) For instances where the actual resale proceeds are equal to or greater than the contract residual (less any residual support provided by GMAC itself), zero.

(C) The amount of the Adjusted Residual Support Guaranty (the “Adjusted Residual Support Guaranty”) is calculated as follows:

(1) For contracts terminating at scheduled maturity, the Adjusted Residual Support Guaranty is calculated to be 100% of the Original Residual Support Guaranty.

(2) For contracts terminating prior to scheduled maturity (including defaults and situations where the Consumer never purchased or returned the vehicle (a “Skip”)), the Adjusted Residual Support Guaranty is calculated by dividing the number of months that the contract was actually outstanding by the number of months in the original contract term and multiplying that by the Original Residual Support Guaranty. In the case of Skips, the actual number of months outstanding is determined based on when the vehicle is classified as a Skip.

(ii) GMAC will prepare a True-Up Payment statement for GM, and the party owing the True-Up Payment will remit the True-Up Payments accrued in a month in accordance with the monthly payment terms outlined in Section 3.12.

(iii) “Adjusted ALG” means, with respect to any lease contract, the original ALG value underlying such contract, modified for adjustments made historically, in accordance with the expected residual value impact as specified in the ALG of the following:

(A) low mileage leases;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(B) additional mileage over and above the original ALG value underlying such contract;

(D) interpolation for odd-term leases.

(iv) If GMAC decides to add its own residual support, it does so at its own risk and expense.

(b) Residual Exposure at End of Lease. As part of the remarketing arrangement between GM and GMAC, the following risk-sharing arrangement applies to all returned SmartLease vehicles under leases dated between November 30, 2006 and December 23, 2008 and booked by GMAC where the underlying lease is from a GM Dealer and the vehicle is remarketed through a physical or internet auction:

(i) Following the resale of a SmartLease vehicle under the Remarketing Services Agreement between GM and GMAC, dated as of November 30, 2006, as amended, GMAC will receive the net proceeds of such sale, calculated as the gross proceeds of the sale before any auction expenses are subtracted, plus any insurance settlement, plus any allowed insurance deductible, plus any allowed mileage charge, plus any additional mileage purchased up front, less any unused mileage refunded at the termination of the related lease, plus any allowed excess wear and tear (“Resale Proceeds”).

(ii) If the Resale Proceeds are less than the Adjusted ALG value but greater than or equal to [***] of Residualized MSRP, GM will pay GMAC the lesser of (a) [***] of the difference between the Resale Proceeds and the Adjusted ALG and (b) [***] of the Residualized MSRP.

(iii) If Resale Proceeds are less than [***] of the Residualized MSRP, GM will pay GMAC the lesser of (a) [***] of the shortfall, if any, of [***] of the Residualized MSRP from the Adjusted ALG and (b) [***] of the Residualized MSRP.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, GMAC is solely responsible for any shortfall of Resale Proceeds below [***] of the Residualized MSRP (i.e., GM will not pay GMAC any portion of such amount).

(v) For purposes of this Section 3.8(b), “Residualized MSRP” means the MSRP of the vehicle, including destination and freight charges, plus any allowable dealer-installed options as listed in the ALG, less the cost of any removed equipment, plus any option package discount that was netted in the vehicle MSRP.

SECTION 3.9 Quarterly Stand-By Fee. Commencing with the quarter beginning January 1, 2009 and terminating with the quarter ending December 31, 2014, GM is obligated to pay GMAC a quarterly stand-by fee equal to $3,750,000 per quarter, for a total of $90,000,000.

SECTION 3.10 Nameplate Elimination. (a) If GM makes any public announcement (including a press release, a Form 8-K filing, a statement of GM management during an investor conference call, and a statement of GM management during a press conference) indicating that it is doing any of the following (each a “Nameplate Elimination”): considering, in the process of implementing (e.g., negotiating a sale agreement), implementing or attempting to implement (e.g., seeking offers from buyers) one or more strategic options (e.g., discontinue, phase-out, sell, etc.) generally, or a strategic option in particular, as to a vehicle nameplate brand (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC, Hummer, Saab, Saturn, or any future brand that the parties mutually agree should be considered for purposes of this Section 3.10), then GM will reimburse GMAC for actual incremental residual losses, or GMAC will reimburse GM for actual incremental residual gains, incurred by GMAC resulting from the Nameplate Elimination on all SmartLease and SmartBuy vehicles outstanding as of the date of GM’s public announcement of the Nameplate Elimination (each vehicle an “Eliminated Vehicle”) and any new contracts written between the announcement date and the earlier of (1) the next date that the ALG is updated to reflect a residual value that comprehends GM’s public announcement of the Nameplate Elimination, and (2) the date that is 3 months after GM’s public announcement of the Nameplate Elimination. The parties acknowledge that a Nameplate Elimination of Hummer, Saab, Saturn and Pontiac occurred as of the following dates, thereby triggering their obligations under this Section 3.10 as of those dates:

Hummer: June 3, 2008

Saturn: December 2, 2008

Saab: December 2, 2008

Pontiac: April 27, 2009

(b) GMAC will calculate the amount of the actual incremental residual loss or gain incurred by GMAC (and will promptly share such calculations with GM) as follows:

(i) For the period immediately preceding the announcement of the Nameplate Elimination, each Eliminated Vehicle model will be compared to a mutually agreed upon specified comparable non-Eliminated Vehicle model (“Comparable Model”). A “Baseline Differential” for each Eliminated Vehicle model will be determined by taking Resale Proceeds as a percent of estimated dealer cost (“EDC”) for each Eliminated Vehicle model less Resale Proceeds as a percent of EDC for its Comparable Model based on the performance of scheduled terminations of the predominant original lease term for that model (e.g., 36-months) for the 12-month period immediately preceding the announcement of the Nameplate Elimination.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(ii) For each month following the announcement of the Nameplate Elimination, the “Actual Monthly Differential” for each Eliminated Vehicle model will be determined by taking average Resale Proceeds as a percent of average EDC for each Eliminated Vehicle model less average Resale Proceeds as a percent of average EDC for its Comparable Model based on the performance of scheduled terminations of the predominant original lease term for that model (determined in paragraph (b)(i) above) during the month.

(iii) For each month, the Actual Monthly Differential will then be compared to the Baseline Differential on each Eliminated Vehicle model.

(A) If the Actual Monthly Differential less the Baseline Differential is a percentage less than 0 for any particular Eliminated Vehicle model, then such percentage will be applied to the cumulative EDC for all scheduled and early terminations during that month for that Eliminated Vehicle model to determine the incremental loss for that Eliminated Vehicle model for that particular month (“Gross Incremental Losses”). For example, if, in November, the Actual Monthly Differential on an Eliminated Vehicle model is -4.2% of EDC and the Baseline Differential for that same Eliminated Vehicle model is -2.0% of EDC, then the Gross Incremental Losses for that Eliminated Vehicle model for all terminations in November will be equal to -2.2% (= -4.2% - -2.0%) times the total EDC for all of those Eliminated Vehicles.

(B) If the Actual Monthly Differential less the Baseline Differential is a percentage greater than or equal to 0 for any particular Eliminated Vehicle model, then such percentage will be applied to the cumulative EDC for all scheduled and early terminations during that month for that Eliminated Vehicle model to determine the incremental gain for that Eliminated Vehicle model for that particular month (“Gross Incremental Gains”). In the previous example, if the Actual Monthly Differential is instead -1.3% of EDC, then the Gross Incremental Gains will be +0.7% for that Eliminated Vehicle model in November (-1.3% - -2.0% = +0.7%) times the total EDC for all of those Eliminated Vehicles.

(iv) To the extent that any portion of the Gross Incremental Losses for any particular Eliminated Vehicle model for a particular month are already partially or wholly covered by GM’s obligations under Section 3.8(a), Section 3.8(b) or Section 3.11 of this Agreement, then the Gross Incremental Losses for that particular Eliminated Vehicle model for that particular month will be reduced accordingly (the reduced amount being the “Net Incremental Losses”).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(v) To the extent that any portion of the Gross Incremental Gains for any particular Eliminated Vehicle model for a particular month are already partially or wholly covered by GM’s obligations under Section 3.8(a), Section 3.8(b) or Section 3.11 of this Agreement, then the Gross Incremental Gains for that particular Eliminated Vehicle model for that particular month will be increased accordingly (the increased amount being the “Net Incremental Gains”).

(vi) GM will pay the total sum of the Net Incremental Losses to GMAC and GMAC will pay the total sum of the Net Incremental Gains to GM during the preceding quarter on a quarterly basis in accordance with Section 3.12.

(vii) GMAC will not be entitled to increase future pricing as a result of decreased residual performance linked to Eliminated Vehicle models following the announcement of a Nameplate Elimination.

(c) If an already-chosen Comparable Vehicle is subsequently included in a Nameplate Elimination or if the number of Eliminated Vehicles are such that a Comparable Vehicle cannot be reasonably ascertained for each Eliminated Vehicle, the parties will work together to develop a mutually agreeable solution.

(d) To the extent GMAC believes that, in substance, a nameplate brand has been effectively eliminated by the discontinuation of a substantial portion of that brand’s models, then GM and GMAC will discuss, in good faith, whether the discontinuation should be treated as a Nameplate Elimination. For purposes of this Section 3.10(d), discontinuation of a model does not include replacement of it by another model, so long as the replacement model is available for Consumers to order within 15 months of such discontinuation.

SECTION 3.11 Lease Pull Ahead Programs. (a) GM may offer incentives to encourage Consumers to terminate their lease contracts or balloon installment contracts that GMAC purchased from GM Dealers, and return their vehicles before the scheduled maturity date, thereby relieving the Consumers of all or a portion of the obligations under their contracts if they simultaneously purchase or lease a new GM vehicle (e.g. from November 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 Consumers were offered the opportunity to pull ahead contracts scheduled to mature from January through April 2006). GM will determine the periods during which the pull ahead programs are offered. GM is responsible for the total net cost of each lease pull ahead program and will reimburse GMAC for its total net cost of this program as provided in Exhibit C. If the program results in a net benefit to GM and GMAC, they will share equally in such benefit.

(b) GM will pay GMAC for vehicles returned in a particular month on a monthly basis in accordance with Section 3.12.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

(c) GMAC will prepare and provide to GM a true-up statement once principally all eligible vehicles that did not pull ahead have been remarketed and it is possible to compare the remarketing proceeds of the vehicles that were pulled ahead to the remarketing proceeds of the eligible comparison vehicles that did not pull ahead. The true-up payment will be made in accordance with Section 3.12 by the party that owes the payment.

SECTION 3.12 Payment Terms. The following payment terms apply to all amounts payable under this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated herein.

(a) The party to whom payment is owed (“Payee”) will invoice the party that owes the payment (“Payor”) for amounts due for a particular month, quarter or other period, as applicable, by the 5^th Business Day of the following month, quarter or other period, as applicable.

(b) The Payor will make payment by the 15^th calendar day of that same following month, quarter or other period, or if the 15th calendar day falls on a day other than a Business Day, by the closest Business Day to the 15th calendar day or if the 15^th calendar day is the same number of calendar days from two Business Days, by the Business day that precedes the 15^th calendar day (“Due Date”).

(c) If the Payee does not invoice the Payor by such 5th Business Day, the Due Date will be extended by the same number of calendar days that the Payee delays invoicing the Payor, counted from such 5th Business Day through the date on which the Payee actually invoices the Payor.

(d) Any and all payments not received on or before the Due Date will accrue, and must be paid with, interest at the annual rate of 1.00% above the prime rate of interest as quoted in the Wall Street Journal, from the Due Date until the date the Payee receives full payment.

SECTION 3.13 Participation in Market Update Meetings. GM will notify GMAC about, and will offer GMAC the opportunity to participate in, scheduled GM “Market Update” meetings, provided that if there is a specific agenda item that GM determines in its good faith business judgment to be not appropriate for GMAC’s attendance, GMAC will not attend that portion of the meeting during which such agenda item is addressed. GM may also choose, in its sole discretion, to provide GMAC with notice of and an opportunity to attend other meetings pertaining to marketing plans, incentive strategies or tactics. GM will not be required to provide information that it deems in its good faith business judgment to be confidential or significantly burdensome to produce. GMAC may share information it receives with others who have a need to know to implement programs, consistent with GM’s Vehicle Sales Service and Marketing business unit’s policies on program implementation timing and confidentiality of information.
