NOW, THEREFORE, the Members agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
ORGANIZATION
 
1.1          Formation.  Pursuant to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act
(the “Act”), as amended from time to time, GMAC has formed a Delaware limited
liability company effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Formation for
the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office.
 
1.2          Qualification.  GMAC may qualify the Company, or register the
Company under assumed or fictitious name statutes or similar laws, in any other
jurisdiction in which the Company transacts or proposes to transact business and
where such qualification or registration is required or desirable, and GMAC or
any duly authorized agent of the Company may execute, deliver and file any
certificates and other documents and take any and all actions as may be
necessary or desirable to obtain such qualification or registration.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
1.3          Purposes.  The purposes of the Company are to engage in any lawful
act or activity for which a limited liability company may be formed under the
Act and to engage in any and all activities necessary or incidental to the
foregoing.
 
1.4          Principal Office; Registered Agent.
 
(a)           The principal office of the Company is located at 200 Renaissance
Center, 12th Floor, Detroit, MI 48265 or such other place as GMAC may select
from time to time.
 
(b)           The registered office of the Company is at the office of its
registered agent at The Corporation Trust Company, Corporation Trust Center,
1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.  The name of the initial
registered agent of the Company is The Corporation Trust Company.  The principal
office, registered office and registered agent of the Company may be changed by
GMAC from time to time in accordance with the then applicable provisions of the
Act.  If the registered agent resigns, the Company will promptly appoint a
successor.
 
1.5          Term.
 
(a)           The term of the Company commenced upon the filing of the
Certificate of Formation for the Company.
 
(b)           The term of the Company ends, and the Company will dissolve, on

(1)
the consent of the Members to dissolve the Company;

 
 
(2)
any event which, under this Agreement or the Act, results in the dissolution of
the Company; or

 
 
(3)
upon the entry of a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction adjudicating the Company to be bankrupt, and the expiration of the
period, if any, allowed by applicable law in which to appeal therefrom.

 
ARTICLE II
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS
 
2.1          Interest in the Company; Capital Contributions.
 
(a)           Common Units.  The Company shall have two classes of common
interests.  The Company shall be deemed to have issued 2,000,000 units of Class
A limited liability company interests (the “Class A Common Units”) to GMAC,
representing the voting limited liability company interests of the Company held
by GMAC as of the date of this Agreement.  The Company shall be deemed to have
issued 1,193,656 units of Class M limited liability company interests (the
“Class M Common Units”, and collectively with the Class A Common Units, the
“Common Units”) to ResCap, representing the non-voting limited liability company
interest of the Company held by ResCap as of the date of this Agreement.

 
2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(b)          Preferred Units.
 
(i)            The Company shall have one class of non-voting, non-cumulative,
non-participating, perpetual preferred interests (the “Class M Preferred Units”,
and collectively with the Common Units, the “Units”).  The Company shall be
deemed to have issued 806,344 Class M Preferred Units to GMAC.
 
(ii)            The Class M Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution
rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Company,
rank senior to the Class M Common Units.  The Class M Preferred Units shall have
no claims to any distributions (including distributions upon liquidation,
winding up or dissolution) of the Company attributable to the GMAC Business Unit
(as defined below).  For the avoidance of doubt, all distributions (including
distributions upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution) of the Company
attributable to the GMAC Business Unit shall be made solely to GMAC in its
capacity as the holder of Class A Common Units.
 
(iii)            The Company shall, if so directed by GMAC, redeem the Class M
Preferred Units then outstanding, in whole or in part, on any Distribution
Payment Date, by delivering at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior written
notice to the holder of such Class M Preferred Units. Any such redemption shall
be for cash at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per Class M Preferred Unit
(the “Class M Preferred Unit Redemption Price”), plus any authorized but unpaid
Preferred Distributions (as defined below).  The Class M Preferred Units may
only be redeemed from the proceeds of a Special Contribution; provided that, for
so long as ResCap is a Member of the Company, its board of directors (including
a majority of the ResCap Independent Directors), consents in writing.  For
purposes hereof, the “ResCap Independent Directors” are the “independent
directors” ResCap must at all times have within the meaning of that certain
Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated November 27, 2006, among General
Motors Corporation, GMAC and ResCap.
 
(c)          The outstanding number of Units held by each Member on the date
hereof is listed on Schedule I attached hereto, and such schedule shall be
amended from time to time by GMAC to reflect any change in the number of Units
held by each Member in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)          Capital Contributions.  The holders of Class M Common Units shall
make additional Capital Contributions as necessary to support and grow the
assets and businesses acquired by GMAC Automotive Bank from GMAC Bank (“Mortgage
Business Unit”) pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement between GMAC
Bank and GMAC Automotive Bank dated November 20, 2006 (the “Purchase Agreement”)
and any future business activities of the Mortgage Business Unit.  Such holders
shall, (i) for so long as ResCap is a Member of the Company, if so directed by a
majority of the ResCap Independent Directors, or (ii) if ResCap is not a Member
of the Company, if so directed by GMAC, make one or more Capital Contributions
to fund the redemption of Class M Preferred Units (each, a “Special
Contribution”).  GMAC, in its capacity as the holder of Class A Common Units,
shall make additional Capital Contributions as necessary to support and grow the
assets and businesses conducted in GMAC Automotive Bank prior to the purchase of
the ResCap Business Unit pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (“GMAC Business
Unit”) and any future business activities of the GMAC Business Unit.  Capital
Contributions of the holders of Class M Common Units and GMAC in the aggregate
shall be at a level sufficient to keep GMAC Bank, a Utah-chartered bank, at a
level of capitalization that qualifies as “well-capitalized” under applicable
federal banking laws or such higher level of capitalization as may be required
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Utah Department of Financial
Institutions (or applicable successor regulatory authorities).  The holder of
any Class M Preferred Units shall not be required to make any additional Capital
Contributions.  For purposes of this Section 2.1, “Capital Contribution” means
the total amount of cash, other property, the use of property, services
rendered, promissory note or other binding written obligation to contribute cash
or property or perform services or other valuable consideration contributed to
the Company by each Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2.2          Capital Accounts.  The Company will maintain an individual capital
account for each Member.  A Member’s capital account will be credited with all
Capital Contributions made by the Member and with all income and gain (including
any income from exempt federal income tax) allocated to a Member.  A Member’s
capital account will be charged with the amount of all distributions made to the
Member and with all losses and deductions (including deductions attributable to
tax-exempt income) allocated to the Member.  The Company will maintain the
Members’ capital accounts in accordance with federal income tax accounting
principles prescribed in Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2).
 
2.3          Additional Members.  Subject to Section 8.5, no additional members
will be admitted to the Company without the consent of the Members.
 
2.4          Profits and Losses.  The profits and losses of the Company will be
determined as of the end of each calendar quarter.  The profits and losses
relating to the GMAC Business Unit will be allocated to GMAC in its capacity as
the holder of the Class A Common Units.  The profits and losses relating to the
Mortgage Business Unit will be allocated to the holders of Class M Common Units
and the holder of the Class M Preferred Units in a manner such that the capital
account of each holder of Class M Common Units and the holder of the Class M
Preferred Units, immediately after making such allocation, and after taking into
actual distributions made during such allocation period (and distributions with
respect to such allocation period to be made after the end of such allocation
period if the Board is able to determine in good faith the manner in which such
distributions will be made pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 7.1, as appropriate),
is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that
would be made to such Member pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 7.1, as appropriate,
if the Company were to dissolve, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for
cash equal to their book value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited,
with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the book value of the assets
securing the liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed in
accordance with Sections 2.5 and 7.1, as appropriate, immediately after making
such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of “minimum gain” and “partner
nonrecourse debt minimum gain” determined pursuant to Regulations
Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), computed immediately prior to the
hypothetical sale of assets, if any.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.5          Distributions.  (a) The holders of the Class M Preferred Units
shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board, out of
Distributable Cash (as defined below), cash distributions (the “Preferred
Distributions”) at the rate of 10% per annum on the Class M Preferred Unit
Redemption Price, and such distributions shall be payable quarterly on January
1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year (each, a “Distribution Payment
Date”, and each such quarter, a “Distribution Period”).  The Preferred
Distributions shall be non-cumulative, and any amounts of such distributions
that are not authorized by the Board to be paid during a Distribution Period
shall not be carried over to subsequent Distribution Periods.
 
(b)          The Company will distribute Distributable Cash to the Members
holding Common Units on a quarterly basis or as otherwise approved by the
Members holding Common Units; provided that no distributions shall be made to
any Member holding Class M Common Units so long as any Class M Preferred Units
are outstanding and any Preferred Distributions for the then-current
Distribution Period have not been authorized or any Preferred Distributions that
have been authorized (whether or not for the then-current Distribution Period)
remain unpaid (and sufficient funds have not been set aside for such payments).
 
(c)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
distributions shall be declared or paid if and when the Company is Insolvent or
would be rendered Insolvent by the distribution. For purposes of this Section
2.5, “Insolvent” means such time as when the value of the Company’s assets
become less than the sum of its liabilities or the Company becomes unable to pay
its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.
 
(d)          For purposes of this Section 2.5, “Distributable Cash” means that
portion of the cash and cash equivalent assets of the Company which, in light of
the Company’s then current and foreseeable sources of, and needs for, cash,
exceeds the amount of cash needed by the Company, as determined by a majority of
the Board, to (i) service its debts and obligations in a timely fashion, (ii)
maintain adequate working capital and reserves, and (iii) conduct its business
and carry out its purposes.
 
2.6          Issuance.  The Company shall not issue any Class M Preferred Units
or any Common Units to any person without the consent of all Members.
 
ARTICLE III

3.1          Responsibility; Meetings of the Members; Delegation of
Responsibility to a Board of Directors; Delegation of Responsibility to a
Committee.
 
(a)           Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Act, all of
the business and affairs of the Company will be managed solely by GMAC, and no
other Member shall have any voting rights, consent rights or other rights of
approval or disapproval.  Except as otherwise provided in the Act, the holder of
the Class M Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or other rights to
participate in the management or control of the Company’s business or act for or
bind the Company.  The Members of the Company are not required to hold an annual
meeting of the Members.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)           At its sole discretion, GMAC may delegate the management of the
business and affairs of the Company to a Board of Directors (the “Board”),
consisting of one or more persons selected by GMAC.  Whether to delegate
management to a Board and, if so, the composition of the Board, will be
determined from time to time by GMAC in its sole discretion. GMAC may, however,
in its sole discretion, disband the Board and resume management of the Company
at any time.  GMAC has determined to delegate management responsibility to a
Board until such time as GMAC, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise.  As
of the date hereof the Board consists of the individual listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto.
 
(c)           The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the Board,
designate one or more committees (“Committees”), which may consist of one or
more of the members of the Board.  To the extent provided in any resolution of
the Board and to the extent permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware,
any such Committee has and may exercise all the powers and authority expressly
delegated by the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the
Company.  The members of such Committees may be elected at such time as the
Board may determine in its sole discretion.  Vacancies in any Committee may be
filled at such time and in such manner as the Board determines.  Except to the
extent otherwise provided in this Agreement or any resolution of the Board, each
Committee may fix its own rules of procedure, including (but not limited to)
rules of procedure relating to quorum, vote required for action, the holding of
meetings, and similar matters.
 
3.2          Election; Resignation: Vacancies.  GMAC has elected the current
Board member listed on Exhibit A, who will hold office until the election and
qualification by GMAC of such Board member’s successor. Any member of the Board
may resign at any time pursuant to Section 5.5.  Any vacancy occurring in the
Board prior to the end of a stated term for any reason (including resignation)
or any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in number of
directors pursuant to resolution or consent of GMAC may be filled by either GMAC
or by action of a majority of the remaining Board members, notwithstanding the
fact that such majority may be less than a quorum.  Each Board member so elected
will hold office concurrent with the term of other remaining Board members or
until his successor is elected and qualified.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
GMAC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, remove one or more of the Board
members at any time, for any reason, with or without cause.
 
3.3          Regular Meetings.  Unless otherwise determined by resolution of the
Board or by GMAC, meetings of the Board for the election of officers and the
transaction of such other business as may come before it may be held with or
without notice at such places and times as the Board may determine from time to
time.
 
3.4          Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board for any purpose
may be called at any time by either GMAC, one or more Board members, the
President or the Secretary.  The Secretary will give notice of a special meeting
of the Board to all Board members at least twenty-four hours before the special
meeting.
 
3.5          Quorum; Vote Required for Action.  At all meetings of the Board,
one-third of the full Board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of
business.  Except in cases in which the Act, the Certificate of Formation or
this Agreement otherwise provide, the vote of a majority of the Board members
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present constitutes the act of the
Board.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
3.6          Organization.
 
(a)           The Board will annually elect one of its members to be Chairman of
the Board and will fill any vacancy in the position of Chairman of the Board at
such time and in such manner as the Board determines.  The Chairman of the Board
may but need not be an officer of, or employed in an executive or any other
capacity by, the Company.
 
(b)           The Chairman of the Board will preside at meetings of the Board
and lead the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities.
 
(c)           The Board may also elect one of its members as Vice Chairman of
the Board who will have such duties and responsibilities as are provided by this
Agreement or may be directed by the Board or the Chairman of the Board.
 
(d)           In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman, or
in his absence, a Board member selected by the Board members present, will
preside at meetings of the Board.  The Secretary of the Company will act as
secretary of the meetings of the Board, but in his absence the presiding officer
may appoint a secretary for the meeting.
 
3.7          Action by Consent of Directors.  Unless otherwise restricted by the
Act, the Certificate of Formation of the Company or this Agreement, any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any
Committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all of the members of the
Board or such Committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the
writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or
Committee.
 
3.8          Action by Consent of GMAC.  Any action required or permitted to be
taken by an annual or special meeting of the Members may be taken without prior
notice, and without a vote, if consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, is signed by GMAC.  Every written consent will bear the date and
signature of GMAC.
 
3.9          Telephonic Meetings Permitted.  Members of the Board or any
Committee designated by the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board or
such Committee by means of telephone or video conference call or similar
communications whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision constitutes
presence in person at such meeting.
 
3.10          Limitations on Powers.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Board members nor any officer will,
without the consent of GMAC, take any act, expend any sum, make any decision,
incur any obligation or exercise any power on behalf of the Company with respect
to: (a) the Company becoming an owner, partner, member, shareholder of any
partnership, limited liability company, or corporation; (b) any merger,
consolidation, or sale of 51% or more of the gross assets of the Company; (c)
any amendment or restatement of the organizational documents or this Agreement,
except to correct scrivener’s errors that do not change the meaning of the
provisions in such organizational documents or this Agreement; (d) any change in
the character of the business and affairs of the Company; (e) the commission of
any act that would make it impossible for the Company to carry on its ordinary
business and affairs; or (f) any act that would contravene any provision of the
Certificate of Formation, this Agreement, or the Act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
3.11          Standard of Care.  The Board will discharge its duties in good
faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would
exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner that he or she reasonably
believes to be in the best interests of the Company.
 
3.12          Self Dealing.  The Members and any Affiliate of the Members may
deal with the Company, directly or indirectly, as vendor, lender, purchaser,
employee, agent or otherwise.  No contract or other act of the Company will be
voidable or affected in any manner by the fact that a Member or an Affiliate of
a Member is directly or indirectly interested in such contract or other act
apart from its interest as Member, nor will a Member or its Affiliate be
accountable to the Company or the other Member in respect of any profits
directly or indirectly realized by it by reason of such contract or other act,
and the interested Member will be eligible to vote or take any other action as
Member in respect of such contract or other act as it would be entitled were its
Affiliate not interested therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.12, (a) any such contract or other dealings between the Company
and a Member or its Affiliate will be on an arm’s length basis between the
parties and on commercially reasonable terms, and (b) a Member will not receive
or hold any property of the Company as collateral security in respect of any
claim against the Company.  For purposes of this section, “Affiliate” means any
person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with, a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
acknowledge that any contracts or other dealings between the Company and a
subsidiary bank will be subject to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act.
 
ARTICLE IV

4.1          Books and Records.  The names, addresses and Capital Contributions
of the Members shall be reflected in the books and records.  The Company will
maintain complete and accurate books and records of its business and affairs,
including the capital accounts, as required by the Act.  The Company will
maintain separate books and records for the Mortgage Business Unit and the GMAC
Business Unit for management reporting purposes and to ensure accurate Capital
Contributions from, and allocation of profits and losses to, each of the
Members.  The Members will have complete access to all books and records of the
Company at the Company’s principal office during normal business hours.
 
4.2          Fiscal Year; Accounting.  The Company’s fiscal year is the calendar
year.
 
4.3          Signatures on Checks and Negotiable Instruments.  All checks,
drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances, promissory notes, and other negotiable
instruments made, accepted, or endorsed by the Company, and all bonds, stocks,
and other securities owned or held by the Company, on transfer and delivery for
sale or otherwise, will, as to either execution, endorsement or both, be signed
in such manner as GMAC, the Board or any Committee thereof, may from time to
time direct.

INDEMNIFICATION
 
6.1          Right to Indemnification.
 
(a)           Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, the Company
will indemnify and advance expenses to every Board member and every officer of
the Company appointed pursuant to Article V, and may indemnify and advance
expenses to an employee of the Company who is not a Board member or officer
appointed pursuant to Article V (and to such person’s heirs, executors,
administrators or other legal representatives) in the manner, and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be
amended, against any and all amounts (including judgments, fines, payments in
settlement, attorneys’ fees and other expenses) actually and reasonably incurred
by or on behalf of such person in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative, formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of
the Company) (a “Proceeding”), in which such Board member or officer was or is
made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a Board member or officer of the Company, or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a Board member, officer,
employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.  The Company is not required
to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person

foregoing to the contrary, no indemnification will be provided to any Board
member, officer or employee for or in connection with (i) actions taken in
violation of this Agreement; (ii) actions constituting fraud, willful
misconduct, or gross negligence; (iii) receipt of a financial benefit to which
such Board member, officer or employee is not entitled; or (iv) a knowing
violation of law.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any indemnification will be fully subordinated to any obligations respecting the
property or assets of the Company and will not constitute a claim against the
Company if cash flow is insufficient to pay such obligations.

6.2          Advancement of Expenses of Directors and Officers.  The Company
will pay the expenses of Board members and officers, and may, in its discretion,
pay the expenses of employees, incurred in defending any proceeding in advance
of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses
incurred in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding will be made only
upon receipt of an undertaking by the Board member, officer or employee to repay
all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that such Board
member, officer, or employee is not entitled to be indemnified under this
Article VI or otherwise.
 
6.3          Claims by Officers or Directors.  If a claim for indemnification or
advancement of expenses by an officer or Board member under Article VI of this
Agreement is not paid in full within ninety days after a written claim therefor
has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to recover the
unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, is entitled

Company has the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the
requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
 
6.4          Non-Exclusivity Rights.  The rights conferred on any person by this

indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer
or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,

collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.
 
6.6          Insurance.  The Board may, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and

any obligation that it incurs as a result of the indemnification of Board
members, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article VI; and (b)
to indemnify or insure Board members, officers and employees against liability
in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under
the provisions of this Article VI.
 
6.7          Modification or Repeal.  Any modification or repeal of the
foregoing provisions of this Article VI will not adversely affect any right or
protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such modification or repeal.

waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to the
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, will be deemed
equivalent thereto.  Attendance of a person at a meeting constitutes a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express

all or any portion of its interest in the Company as permitted by this
Section 8.5, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution
of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  Such admission shall be deemed effective
immediately prior to the transfer, and, immediately following such admission, in
the event of the transfer of all of a Member’s interest in the Company, such
transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
 
8.6          Terms.  Nouns and pronouns will be deemed to refer to the
