 Re: GMAC Long-Term Incentive Plan LLC Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan  
 Dear
Tom: 
  

	1.	You have been granted an Award under the GMAC Long-Term Incentive Plan LLC Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The grant date of your
Award is December 14, 2009 (“Grant Date”). A copy of the Plan is attached. Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Letter will have the meanings as defined in the Plan. 

  

	2.	Your Award is granted to you as a matter of separate inducement and is not in lieu of salary or other compensation for your services. By accepting this Award, you
hereby consent to any and all Plan amendments, vesting restrictions, and/or any revision to any other term or condition of this Award Letter that may be required to comply with any Federal law or regulation that may govern executive compensation,
including but not limited to Title VII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Troubled Asset Relief Program, whether such amendments, restrictions and/or revisions are applied prospectively or retrospectively to this or prior
Awards.

Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Troubled Asset Relief Program, your Award is an RSU Award with .645 bps. Because Title VII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 currently limits the value of restricted stock that may be awarded to
certain executives, the Committee reserves the right to adjust down the bps percentage underlying this Award without your consent in order to comply with Federal law. If and when such an adjustment may be required, you will be notified in writing.


  

	5.	Subject to requirements of any Federal laws or regulations that may govern executive compensation, including but not limited to Title VII of the American Recovery and
