     Re: Commitment Letter for Rights Offering Liquidity
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     The United States Department of the Treasury (“UST”) hereby irrevocably commits, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) and in the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”), to provide up to $1 billion (as provided in Appendix A) in the form of a single-draw term loan for use by General Motors Corporation (the “Borrower;” such facility, the “Facility”) to purchase Class B Membership Interests of GMAC LLC (the “GMAC Equity”) pursuant to an offering of approximately $1.25 billion of Common Membership Interests of GMAC LLC to be made to the existing holders of GMAC LLC Common Membership Interests.
     The Facility will be made available to the Borrower on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Loan and Security Agreement for the $13.4 billion credit facility being provided to the Borrower by UST (the “GM Loan”), except (1) the Facility will be secured solely by the GMAC Equity or other collateral acceptable (collectively, the “GMAC Collateral”) to lender, and (2) as otherwise provided in the Term Sheet and Appendix A. UST’s commitment hereunder is subject to (a) entry into a loan agreement and other documentation on terms mutually satisfactory to the Borrower and UST on or before January 16, 2009 or such other date as is mutually agreed between the parties, (b) the closing and initial funding of the GM Loan, (c) since the date of this Commitment Letter, no event described in Section 5.2(f) of the Membership Interest Subscription Agreement between GMAC LLC, the Borrower and FIM Holdings LLC relating to the GMAC Rights Offering (as defined in the Term Sheet) shall have occurred, and (d) satisfaction of the other conditions set forth or referred to in the Term Sheet. The terms and conditions of UST’s commitment hereunder and of the Facility are not limited to those set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Those matters not covered by the provisions hereof and of the Term Sheet will be addressed in the loan agreement for the Facility, subject to the approval and agreement of UST and the Borrower.
     You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless UST and its affiliates and their respective officers, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may

 


 

become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or (ii) a breach by an Indemnified Person of the terms of this Commitment Letter, and (b) to reimburse UST and its affiliates on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation reasonable fees, time charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the Facility and any related documentation (including, without limitation this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet and the definitive financing documentation) or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facility.
     This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by the Borrower (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the Borrower and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the Borrower. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and UST. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto. This Commitment Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with applicable Federal law and the laws of the State of New York. If this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet or any act, omission or event hereunder or thereunder becomes the subject of a dispute, the Borrower and UST each hereby waive trial by jury.
     The reimbursement and indemnification provisions contained herein and in the Term Sheet shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether definitive financing documentation shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or UST’s commitment hereunder; provided, that your obligations under this Commitment Letter shall automatically terminate and be superseded by the provisions of the definitive documentation relating to the Facility upon the initial funding thereunder, and you shall automatically be released from all liability in connection therewith at such time.
     If the foregoing correctly sets forth our agreement, please indicate your acceptance of the terms hereof and of the Term Sheet by returning to us an executed counterpart hereof not later than 6:00 p.m., Washington D.C. time today. UST’s commitment will expire at such time in the event UST has not received such executed counterpart in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. This Commitment Letter and Term Sheet supersede any and all prior versions hereof and thereof.
