From time to time, Ally Financial Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), may enter into one or more underwriting agreements that provide for the sale of designated securities to the several underwriters named therein. The standard provisions set forth herein may be incorporated by reference in any such underwriting agreement (an “Underwriting Agreement”). The Underwriting Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as this Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

I.

The Company proposes to issue from time to time Senior Notes (the “Debt Securities”) to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of July 1, 1982 (the “Indenture”), as amended, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (successor trustee to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York) (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). The Debt Securities will have varying designations, maturities, rates and times of payment of interest, selling prices and redemption terms. Particular terms of any series of Debt Securities will be contained in an Underwriting Agreement. The Debt Securities identified in any particular Underwriting Agreement are herein referred to as “Securities.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (the file number of which is contained in the Underwriting Agreement) relating to the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Such registration statement (and any post-effective amendments thereto, if applicable), including the information, if any, deemed to be a part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus covering the Securities in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with the confirmation of sales of the Securities is referred to herein as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with the confirmation of sales of the Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus” and the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus. If the Company files a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act (the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”), then all references to “Registration Statement” shall also be deemed to include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Any references to the “Registration Statement,” the “Preliminary Prospectus” and the “Prospectus” shall also be deemed to include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”) on or before the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and references to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. The term “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” as used herein means the documents identified as such in the applicable Underwriting Agreement.

(xxxiv) each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement will be true and correct on and as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, with the same effect as if made on each such date (except to the extent that a representation or warranty is by its terms made as of a specified date, in which case such representation shall be true and correct only on and as of such date).

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to Article IV hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel for the Underwriters, will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the representations contained in this Agreement and hereby consent to such reliance.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed by the Company and specified in an Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Securities, each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that:

(i) it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or a free writing prospectus which is not required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act (including, for the avoidance of doubt, customary Bloomberg communications by the Underwriters to potential purchasers in connection with the preliminary pricing of the offering (or such other Bloomberg communications by the Underwriters as may be approved in advance by the Company)); provided, that, if so specified in the Underwriting Agreement or the Company shall otherwise so notify the Underwriters in writing, the Underwriter will make no offer relating to the Securities that will constitute a free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, other than (1) a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus

-13-

and (2) customary Bloomberg communications by the Underwriters to potential purchasers in connection with the preliminary pricing of the offering or such other Bloomberg communications by the Underwriters as may be approved in advance by the Company (and not required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act), without the prior written consent of the Company. Any free writing prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter will only be used by such Underwriter if it complies in all material respects with the requirement of the Securities Act.

(ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by such Underwriter.

(iii) the Underwriters shall make offers and sales of the Securities only to such persons and in such manner as is contemplated by the Prospectus. Offers and sales of the Securities will be made only by the Underwriters or affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each of the Underwriters have and will comply with the applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it offers, sells or delivers the Securities or distributes any Prospectus or Disclosure Package.

(iv) each of the Underwriters will deliver to each subsequent purchaser who buys Securities directly from an Underwriter or an affiliate of an Underwriter, in connection with their original placement of the Securities, a copy of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented at the date of such delivery; and will not form contracts for sale with any prospective investor prior to the delivery to such prospective investor of the final pricing term sheet in the form set forth in Schedule I hereto and identified as a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus; provided that the delivery obligations under this paragraph (iv) shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Disclosure Package and Prospectus are at such time filed with the Commission and available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

VII.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Underwriter and each of such Underwriter’s and such person’s directors, officers, employees, agents and controlled affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) against any and all losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) to which any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim or action), insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or the Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading provided that the Company shall not be liable for any such loss, liability, cost, action or claim arising from any statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with written information provided by an Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in the

-14-

Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to the Disclosure Package shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Securities, or any person controlling such Underwriter where (i) a reasonable period of time prior to the Applicable Time the Company shall have notified such Underwriter that the Disclosure Package (as it existed prior to the Applicable Time) contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in the Disclosure Package or, where permitted by law, an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and such corrected Disclosure Package or issuer free writing prospectus was provided to such Underwriter a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Applicable Time such that the corrected Disclosure Package or issuer free writing prospectus could have been provided to such person prior to the Applicable Time, (iii) such corrected Disclosure Package or issuer free writing prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such person at or prior to the Applicable Time, and (iv) such loss, claim, damage or liability would not have occurred had the corrected Disclosure Package or issuer free writing prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) been conveyed to such person as provided for in clause (iii) above.

Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the Company, and the Company’s and such person’s officers and directors from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) to which any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim or action), insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act), the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case as to the Registration Statement, any issuer free writing prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Underwriting” or any amendment or supplement thereto, only with respect to the names of the underwriters appearing on the front and back cover page of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, if any, the names of the Underwriters, amount of any selling concession and reallowance and any discussion of any stabilization activities, over allotment activities, penalty bids or similar types of activities appearing under the heading “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or was otherwise made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any issuer free writing prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or is contained in any free writing prospectus that is not a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter (except to the extent such information has been accurately extracted from the Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company), or any amendment or supplement thereto.

-15-

Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director and officer of the Company and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) the Company against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, actions and demands to which they or any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim, action or demand) under the law of any jurisdiction, or which may be made against them arising out of, or in connection with, the breach of such Underwriter of any of the terms, conditions, agreements and representations of Section (b)(i) of Article VI of this Agreement.

If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such proceeding; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Article VII except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Article VII. In case any such proceeding shall be brought or alleged against any indemnified party and such indemnified party shall have notified the indemnifying party of such proceeding in writing, the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnified party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that in the event the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of any such proceeding, the indemnified party shall then be entitled to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to itself and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel relating to the proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party pursuant to the preceding sentence or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the

-16-

indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include any statement as to, or any finding of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under this Article VII, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party thereunder as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if such contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute an amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds to the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reasons of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this paragraph are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

-17-

The indemnity agreements contained in this Article VII and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Underwriters in this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by an indemnified party or on such party’s behalf or any person controlling an indemnified party or by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, its directors or officers or any person controlling the indemnifying party; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

VIII.

The Representative on behalf of the Underwriters may terminate this Agreement (upon consultation with the Company) by notice to the Company, at any time prior to the time on the Closing Date at which payment would otherwise be due under this Agreement to the Company if, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, (i) there has occurred any event or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has or could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as described in the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), which, in the sole judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Prospectus, or (ii) any condition specified in Article IV hereof shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, or (iii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or any other calamity or crisis, or any change or development in political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iv) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or any other Governmental Entity, or (v) a banking moratorium has been declared by the United States or New York authorities or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement and clearance services in the United States.

IX.

The Company and each Underwriter acknowledge and agree that, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company, neither the Underwriter nor any affiliate thereof, to the best of their respective knowledge, has any current arrangement with any third party which would permit such Underwriter or any such affiliate to benefit financially, directly or indirectly, from the Underwriter’s participation in the determination of the terms of the offering, including the pricing of the Securities. Additionally, each Underwriter is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

-18-

X.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company, and inure solely to the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and any other person expressly entitled to indemnification hereunder and the respective personal representatives, successors and assigns of each, and no other person shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement.

XI.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the Representative and shall be directed c/o the Representative at its address, or facsimile number set forth below by its signature. Notices to the Company shall be directed to the Company at Ally Detroit Center, 500 Woodward Ave., Floor 10, Detroit, Michigan 48226, Attn: General Counsel, with a copy to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Catherine M. Clarkin. All such notices shall be effective on receipt.

XII.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with the Securities.

XIII.

(a) If, at the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in the Underwriting Agreement that, pursuant to this Article XIII, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

-19-

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-ninth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-ninth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article XIII shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as and to the extent set forth in Article XIV hereof and except that the indemnification provisions hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect, provided that any defaulting Underwriter shall have no rights thereunder.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

XIV.

The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) all fees and expenses related to the preparation, printing, mailing and publishing of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (in each case, as amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented), (ii) all fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (iii) all advertising charges incurred with the prior consent of the Company, (iv) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Securities (including printing and engraving costs) and the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, (v) all filing fees, including FINRA filing fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company or the Underwriters in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) the Securities under the securities laws of the several states of the United States, the provinces of Canada or other jurisdictions reasonably designated by the Underwriters, (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities, (vii) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Securities with the rating agencies, and (viii) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Company in connection with approval of the Securities by DTC in the United States, and Euroclear and Clearstream outside the United States,

-20-

as applicable, for “book-entry” transfer, and the performance by the Company of its other obligations under this Agreement. DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are referred to herein collectively as the “Book-entry Transfer Facilities” and, individually as a “Book-entry Transfer Facility.” In the event that any Underwriter is authorized to incur and does actually incur any such fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, the Company will reimburse such Underwriter for such fees, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters, or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

XV.

The Representative represents and warrants that it has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement for and on behalf of each of the Underwriters not a direct signatory hereto. Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by the Representative shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

XVI.

THIS AGREEMENT INCORPORATES THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES AND (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN) SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE. ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION OR CONDUCT IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, IS WAIVED.

XVII.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

XVIII.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

-21-

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We (the “Underwriters”) understand that Ally Financial Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.848% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Securities”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or incorporated by reference herein, the Company hereby agrees to sell and we agree to purchase the principal amounts of the Securities as set forth below opposite our names at 99.550% of their principal amount, and accrued interest, if any, from December 14, 2023, to the date of payment and delivery:

The Underwriters will pay for such Securities upon delivery thereof at the offices of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP, 51 West 52^nd Street, New York, New York 10019 at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on December 14, 2023, or such later time not later than December 21, 2023, as shall be designated by the Representative (the “Closing Date”).

The Securities shall have the terms set forth in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement dated December 11, 2023, related to the Securities and the Prospectus dated October 26, 2022, and the term sheet related to the Securities attached hereto as Schedule I. The File No. of the Registration Statement relating to the Securities is 333-268013.
