AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (“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 and related goods and services (“GM Products”).

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, consumer and commercial customers.

C. GM and GMAC provide significant services and resources to each other as provided in the Specified Integrated Agreements and other agreements. The interrelated transactions and dealings between GM and/or its Subsidiaries on the one hand and GMAC and/or its Subsidiaries on the other hand (“Dealings”) contribute significantly to the success of GM and GMAC, usually generating 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 four aspects of their relationship: (1) the formal ownership structure that has 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; (3) sound business practices, including economies of scale and leveraging of resources, including infrastructure sharing; and (4) their “shared” or “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. The parties entered into the Specified Integrated Agreements to establish the terms and conditions under which the parties thereto provide various services as set forth therein, including that certain Master Services Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original MSA”), which, among other things, established certain terms and conditions that apply to the Specified Integrated Agreements.

E.

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 MSA and certain of the other Specified Integrated Agreements in accordance with the terms set forth in the Letter Agreement.

SECTION 2. Integration.

(a) Each of the parties to this Agreement represents, warrants, covenants, and agrees that this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements comprise a single, unitary, indivisible, and non-severable agreement governing the operational arrangements between the GM Entities on the one hand and the GMAC Entities on the other hand. For example and for illustrative purposes only, GMAC will not be able to fully perform its obligations under the Dealer Financing Service Agreement if GM fails to perform its obligations under the Marketing Service Agreement. Although this Agreement and each Specified Integrated Agreement may address a discrete subject matter, the treatment of such subject matter in separate documents does not signify that each constitutes a separate

agreement; instead, such treatment is intended to facilitate articulation of the terms and conditions of the overall unitary and indivisible transaction. The use of the expressions “unitary”, “indivisible”, and “non- severable” to describe this Agreement is not merely for convenient reference. It is the conscious choice and the express intent of the parties to enter into a unitary, indivisible, and non-severable transaction. Each of the parties agrees that from an economic point of view this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements reflect one indivisible and non-severable economic bargain between the GM Entities and the GMAC Entities, all other provisions of this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements have been negotiated and agreed to collectively as a single, composite, inseparable transaction, and that any one component of the transaction would not have been entered into other than as a part of the overall transaction. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Specified Integrated Agreement for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated, it otherwise being presumed that this paragraph is applicable), (i) all provisions of this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, monetary provisions, use provisions, breach, default, setoff, recoupment, enforcement and termination provisions, and assignment, are integral to the entire transaction and are not severable; (ii) the economic terms of the transaction would have been substantially different had separate transactions been acceptable to GMAC and GM; and (iii) the provisions of this Agreement will at all times be construed, interpreted and applied such that the intention of all parties to effect a unitary, indivisible transaction will be preserved and maintained.

(b) The parties agree that for all purposes, including any transfer, assignment, rescission, assumption, or rejection of this Agreement under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any amendment or successor section thereof, or otherwise, this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements constitute one indivisible and non-severable agreement dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be transferred, assigned, rescinded, assumed, or rejected (as applicable) as a whole with respect to all (and not less than all) of the obligations covered under this Agreement and the other Specified Integrated Agreements.

(c) The terms and provisions of this Agreement are hereby deemed incorporated in all of the Specified Integrated Agreements and Specified Offset Agreements, as applicable, in each case as though fully set forth therein and made a part thereof.

SECTION 3. Setoff Rights.

(a) Each Designated GM Domestic Entity hereby acknowledges, understands, and agrees that (i) until the earlier of (A) the date on which the Unsecured Exposures shall have been secured by a lien in favor of the applicable GMAC Entities on assets of the GM Domestic Entities pursuant to Section 5 and (B) the first date occurring on or after December 30, 2010 on which no Measured Exposure exceeds the applicable Cap, as set forth in Section 4 below (the earlier of (A) and (B), the “Setoff Rights Reduction Date”), GMAC and each other GMAC Entity (acting on its own or through GMAC on behalf of itself and each other GMAC Entity) is entitled to setoff from time to time any or all Specified GMAC Obligations against any or all

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

Specified GM Obligations and (ii) from and after the Setoff Rights Reduction Date, GMAC and each other GMAC Entity (acting on its own or through GMAC on behalf of itself and each other GMAC Entity) is entitled to setoff from time to time any or all Known Specified GMAC Obligations against any or all Known Specified GM Obligations.

(b) If, at any time prior to the Setoff Rights Reduction Date, GMAC asserts in good faith that any Specified GM Obligation is owing or payable by any Designated GM Domestic Entity but the amount of that Specified GM Obligation is unliquidated or otherwise unascertained at any time, the GMAC Entities (or GMAC on behalf of itself and each other GMAC Entity) may, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, estimate the amount thereof and setoff such estimated amount, subject to accounting to the Designated GM Domestic Entities no later than 5 business days after the amount is liquidated or otherwise ascertained.

(c) Each GMAC Entity hereby acknowledges, understands, and agrees that GM and each other Designated GM Domestic Entity (acting on its own or through GM on behalf of itself and each other Designated GM Domestic Entity) is entitled to setoff from time to time any or all Known Specified GM Obligations against any or all Known Specified GMAC Obligations.

(d) The foregoing rights of setoff are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other right or remedy available to any of the Designated GM Domestic Entities and the GMAC Entities (including any right of setoff, offset, recoupment, combination of accounts, deduction, counterclaim, retention, or withholding), whether expressly or implicitly arising under this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, or undertaking, under applicable law, in equity, or otherwise and will be effective and enforceable notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, or undertaking between or among one or more GMAC Entities, on the one hand, and one or more Designated GM Domestic Entities, on the other hand.

(e) Each party hereby acknowledges, understands, and agrees that the exercise by GM or any other Designated GM Domestic Entity, on the one hand, or GMAC or any other GMAC Entity, on the other hand, at any time or from time to time of rights under this Section 3 will be deemed automatically to satisfy and discharge fully, completely, irrevocably, and indefeasibly all Specified GM Obligations, Specified GMAC Obligations, Known Specified GM Obligations, or Known Specified GMAC Obligations, as the case may be, to the extent of the exercise of such rights.

SECTION 4. Global Exposure Cap.

(a) During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending December 29, 2010, (i) the Probable Unsecured Exposure, as calculated (or, to the extent applicable, estimated) by GMAC in good faith, shall not on any given day exceed $2.1 billion and (ii) the Maximum Unsecured Exposure, as calculated (or, to the extent applicable, estimated) by GMAC in good faith, shall not on any given day exceed $4.1 billion.

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) From and after December 30, 2010, (i) the Probable Unsecured Exposure, as calculated (or, to the extent applicable, estimated) by GMAC in good faith, shall not on any given day exceed $1.5 billion and (ii) the Maximum Total Exposure, as calculated (or, to the extent applicable, estimated) by GMAC in good faith, shall not on any given day exceed the greater of (A) $3.0 billion and (B) 15% of the Capital of GMAC.

(c) If GMAC determines, at any time, that the amount of any Measured Exposure equals or exceeds 97% of the Cap then applicable to such Measured Exposure, GMAC and GM will immediately engage in discussions to ensure that the amount of the applicable Measured Exposure is maintained below such Cap. If the Cap with respect to a Measured Exposure has been exceeded, then, until GM or any other GM Entity (i) makes a payment in cash (an “Exposure Reduction Cash Payment”) to GMAC or any other GMAC Entity and/or (ii) reduces the amount of undrawn commitments of the GMAC Entities under the GMAC Debt Facilities to provide loans to GM Entities (a “Commitment Reduction”) such that, after giving effect to such Exposure Reduction Cash Payment and/or such Commitment Reduction and any additional obligations about to be incurred, the applicable Measured Exposure does not exceed such Cap, or any other event occurs as a result of which the applicable Measured Exposure no longer exceeds such Cap, the GMAC Entities will not be obligated to lend, otherwise extend any credit, or make any other financial accommodations, or otherwise increase any GMAC Entity’s exposure to any GM Entity. The preceding sentence does not in any way limit or otherwise restrict any of GMAC’s other rights or obligations under any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the GM Entities’ obligation to not exceed the Caps is absolute (provided that GMAC has properly determined the amount of the applicable Measured Exposure with respect to the applicable Cap) and not conditioned on the occurrence of the discussions described herein or the providing of any notice by the GMAC Entities to the GM Entities. GMAC will provide to GM, not less frequently than the end of each calendar quarter, a written schedule of its determination of the amount of each Measured Exposure then due with respect to each Cap.

(d) [***].

(e) If the amount of any Measured Exposure shall, as of any date, be less than 97% of the then applicable Cap, and if, as of such date, the Prepaid Exposure Reduction Cash Payment Amount or the Outstanding Commitment Reduction Amount shall exceed zero, then GMAC (or the applicable GMAC Entity) shall, at GM’s election, promptly (i) make a cash payment to GM (or the applicable GM Entity) in an amount not to exceed the Prepaid Exposure Reduction Cash Payment Amount existing immediately prior to such cash payment [***], to the extent that such cash payment and/or commitment reinstatement may be made without causing any Measured Exposure to exceed 97% of the then applicable Cap. [***].

(f) GMAC shall pay interest to GM or its designee on the Prepaid Exposure Reduction Cash Payment Amount at an annual rate (based on a year of 360 days) equal to the LIBO Rate. Such interest shall be computed on a daily basis (using, for each day, the annualized (based on a year of 360 days) LIBO Rate for such day) on the then-outstanding

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

Prepaid Exposure Reduction Cash Payment Amount and shall be paid by GMAC in arrears no later than the 15th day of each calendar month with respect to the immediately preceding calendar month.

(g) GM and GMAC shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to work together to reduce the aggregate exposure of the GMAC Entities to the GM Entities in exchange for an equivalent reduction in the aggregate exposure of the GM Entities to the GMAC Entities.

(h) GMAC may at any time seek approval from any applicable Governmental Authority to increase any Cap above the amount set forth for such Cap in Section 4(a) or 4(b). Upon the grant of any such approval, such Cap shall automatically be increased accordingly.

SECTION 5. [***].

SECTION 6. Securitization Arrangements. GM and GMAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts either (i) to restructure current secured financing arrangements between any GM Entity, on the one hand, and any GMAC Entity, on the other hand, that are not able to be securitized by a GMAC Entity to the extent that such restructuring is reasonably practicable and may be achieved without impeding any GM Entity’s ability to sell vehicles, for the purpose of enabling each applicable GMAC Entity to securitize its exposures related thereto or (ii) to identify alternative third-party sources of financing to replace the GMAC Entities with respect to such secured financing arrangements that are not able to be securitized by a GMAC Entity; provided that, if such restructuring is not at any time achieved and such third-party financing is not at any time obtained, such fact shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 6 or any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. Audits by the Parties. The actions of the parties in connection with this Agreement will, at the election of either party, be subject to compliance verification (“Compliance Audits”) by the parties and their outside auditors. For purposes of Compliance Audits, and to facilitate audits, reviews and investigations by any Governmental Authority, GMAC and GM will each provide the other party and, subject to the execution of appropriate and reasonable confidentiality agreements, its agents, upon not less than five business days prior notice, reasonable assistance and access, during regular business hours, to its files, books and records pertaining to the calculations and other matters contemplated by this Agreement. Neither GM nor GMAC may perform a Compliance Audit more than once in any 6-month period. Compliance Audits will be limited in duration, manner and scope to that which is reasonably necessary and appropriate to confirm compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the accuracy of any calculation or determination made hereunder.

SECTION 8. Use of GM Trademark. GMAC will continue to use the trade name and trademark “GMAC” in connection with GM-directed automotive consumer and dealer finance incentive, and other promotional, programs involving GM Products for which GM compensates GMAC (for example, “interest free” periods, finance charge subsidies, capitalized cost reductions, waivers of security deposit), except to the extent that GM terminates GMAC’s license to use the GMAC trademark under Section 5.2(d) of the Intellectual Property License Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006, as amended, or as may be otherwise agreed by the parties.

SECTION 9. Term. The term of the Original MSA commenced on November 30, 2006 and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for as long as any Specified Integrated Agreement remains in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, GM shall have the right to terminate all (but not less than all) of the Specified Integrated Agreements (including this Agreement) at any time that GMAC becomes or is Controlled by an automotive vehicle manufacturer that competes with GM.

SECTION 10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and each of the other Specified Integrated Agreements and to their respective successors and assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise, to any third party other than one of its Subsidiaries; provided that such Subsidiary has first executed an Opt In letter in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement; and provided further that any such assignment or transfer to any Subsidiary will not relieve any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 11. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers upon any person or entity, other than the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. Waiver. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder, will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any default, right, or remedy or of that party’s right to insist upon strict compliance in the future. No waiver of any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is effective against a party unless acknowledged by such party in writing.
