Exhibit
4.1  REDEMPTION AGREEMENT  THIS
REDEMPTION AGREEMENT (the Agreement), dated as of June 3, 2009
(the Effective Date), is made by and among Daimler North America
Finance Corporation (formerly known as DaimlerChrysler North America Finance
Corporation), a Delaware corporation (DNAF), Daimler Investments US
Corporation (formerly known as DaimlerChrysler Holding Corporation), a Delaware
corporation (DIUS, and together with DNAF, the DC Contributors),
Chrysler Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company),
CG Investment Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (CGI)
and an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., CG Investment Group II,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (CGI II) and an affiliate of
Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., Chrysler Holding Management LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (HoldCo Management Company), FinCo
Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (FinCo Management Company),
and CarCo Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (CarCo Management
Company, and together with the Company, CGI, CGI II, HoldCo Management
Company and FinCo Management Company, the Chrysler Parties, and
together with the DC Contributors, the Parties). Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating
Agreement of the Company, dated as of May 22, 2009 (as amended, the LLC
Agreement).  RECITALS:  A.The DC Contributors, CGI,
HoldCo Management Company, FinCo Management Company and CarCo Management
Company are all of the Members of the Company that entered into an initial
limited liability company agreement of the Company on August 3, 2007, and
CGI II was admitted as a Member of the Company prior to the execution of this
Agreement.  B.Since August 3,
2007, the United States auto industry has significantly changed in a manner
unforeseen and unforeseeable on such date, the credit markets have become
increasingly difficult to access, the worldwide economic environment has
required the Company and its Subsidiaries to borrow funds from the United
States Department of the Treasury pursuant to the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, and the Company requires future assistance or
alliances which may not be accessible while the DC Contributors continue to be
Members; and the Parties desire to continue operations of the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries without the future involvement of the DC Contributors as
Members of the Company.  C.Accordingly, the Company
desires to redeem the 4,468,942 Class B Membership Interests held by DIUS
(collectively, the DIUS Interests), and the 15,431,058 Class A
Membership Interests and the 20 Residual Value Interests held by DNAF (the DNAF
Interests and, together with the DIUS Interests, the DC Contributor
Interests) for their agreed upon fair market value, and each of DIUS and
DNAF desires, respectively, to have the DIUS Interests and DNAF Interests held
by it redeemed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.  1


D.The DC Contributors, the
Company and CGI have agreed that, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the
DC Contributors have the obligation to pay to the Company (i) an amount
equal to $16,850,000 (the Final Headquarters Reimbursement) relating
to the Headquarters Reimbursement Amount (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement) and (ii) an amount equal to $5,500,000 (the Equity Award
Amount, and together with the Final Headquarters Reimbursement, the Company
Receivable) relating to the Company Equity Award Holder Payments (as
defined in the Contribution Agreement).  NOW,

bound, the Parties agree as follows:  1.Redemption of DC Contributor

any further consideration in exchange for the DC Contributor Interests, and (ii) the
Company shall not be entitled to any further consideration in exchange for the

except by an instrument signed by, or on behalf of, each of the Parties.  13.Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by
operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of each of
the Parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of
such Parties), as the case may be; provided, however,  that each of the Parties shall be permitted

incurring such costs and expenses.  16.Waiver.  Each Party may (a) extend the time for
the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of another Party, (b) waive
any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of another Party

Party or conditions to such Partys obligations contained herein. Any such

condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a
subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term
or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its
rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.  17.No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied is intended to or
shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or
remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any
specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.  9


18.Severability.  If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or
public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or
legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not
affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so
as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.  19.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.  20.Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each of the Parties (a) consents to

Person any information about the existence of this Agreement, including the
Schedules and Annexes to this Agreement, its terms or conditions, including the
terms and conditions set forth in Schedules and Annexes to this Agreement, or
any other facts relating thereto, including information about negotiations
between the Parties and negotiations and agreements with third parties,

agreements) potential investors or acquirors of such Party or its Affiliates or
(ii) the U.S. Treasury Department, Export Development Canada and any other
governmental authority; provided further, that each Party shall inform such
Persons of the confidential nature of such information and cause such Persons
in the foregoing clause (i) to comply with the confidentiality obligations
of this Section 21 with respect to such information as if such
Person were a Party.  (b)Subject to the provisos in Section 21(a), in
the event that any Party is requested pursuant to, or required by, Law to
disclose any information concerning this  10


Agreement
(each such Party a Notifying Party), prompt notice of such request or
requirement shall be given to each of the other Parties in order to enable such
Parties to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy (and if any
such Party seeks such an order, the Notifying Party will provide such
cooperation as the other Party or Parties shall reasonably request), to consult
with the Notifying Party with respect to taking steps to resist or narrow the
scope of such request or legal process, or to waive compliance, in whole or in
part, with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order
or other remedy is not obtained, or the Parties waive compliance, in whole or
in part, with the terms of this Agreement, the Notifying Party will disclose

accorded confidential treatment.  22.Interpretation and Rules of
Construction.  In this

ERISA. The PBGC has full power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and to carry out and consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  (b)The PBGCs
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the PBGCs performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, the PBGCs consummation of the  13


transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the PBGCs compliance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement: (i) do not violate in any material respect any Law applicable
to the PBGC or any of its properties; and (ii) do not violate any
provision of Title IV of ERISA or the PBGCs By-Laws, other applicable
statutes, regulations and rules governing the PBGC, or any material
contract or agreement which is binding on the PBGC or its properties.  (c)This Agreement
has been duly executed by authorized officers or other representatives of the
PBGC. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding contract and
agreement of the PBGC.  SECTION 5.    Agreements
Related to the Plans.  (a)Termination of
PBGC Agreement, PBGC Guaranty and CGI Side Letter. The PBGC
Agreement, the PBGC Guaranty and the CGI Side Letter are hereby terminated in
their entirety and shall be void and of no further force or effect.  (b)Daimler
Contributions. (i) Daimler shall pay the Required
Contributions in three equal installments. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(ii) below,
on the earlier to occur of Two Business Days following (A) the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement (the MTA
Closing) and (B) June 15, 2009, Daimler shall pay $200,000,000
(Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) of the Required Contributions, allocated in
accordance with Schedule A, by wire or intra-bank transfer of immediately
available funds to the Plan Sponsor(s) Bank Account(s). Immediately upon
receipt of such amount, the Plan Sponsor(s) shall pay such $200,000,000
(Two Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) by wire or intra-bank transfer of
immediately available funds to the Plans Bank Account and instruct the trustee
of the Plans to allocate such amount among the Plans in accordance with Schedule
A. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(ii) below,
the remaining $400,000,000 (Four Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) of the Required
Contributions shall be paid to the Plan Sponsor(s) Bank Account(s) in
two equal annual installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of
the date of this Agreement (the Scheduled Payment Dates), allocated in
accordance with Schedule A. Immediately upon receipt of such Required
Contributions by the Plan Sponsor(s), the Plan Sponsor(s) shall pay the
full amount of the Required Contributions received to the Plans Bank Account
and instruct the trustee of the Plans to allocate such amount among the Plans
in accordance with Schedule A. Within five Business Days after the
receipt by the Plan Sponsor(s) of any portion of the Required
Contributions, the Plan Sponsor(s) shall provide the PBGC with written
evidence of payment of such amount to the Plans Bank Account and written
evidence of its instructions to the trustee of the Plans to allocate such
amounts in accordance with Schedule A.  (ii)In the event
that the MTA Closing has not occurred at least two Business Days prior to the
time that a payment is required to be made by Daimler under Section 5(b)(i) above
(a Non-Closing), and the PBGC and the Plan Sponsor(s) have
reasonably agreed that such payment can be structured so that, if made to the
Plan Sponsor(s) and then to the Plans, it would not be subject to claims
by or on behalf of the Plan Sponsor(s) creditors or otherwise subject to any
disgorgement or repayment obligation by the Plans, then the PBGC and the Plan
Sponsor(s) shall jointly notify Daimler of such agreement in accordance
with Section 14 (an Agreement Notice) and Daimler shall pay the
applicable installment of the Required Contributions to the Plan Sponsor(s) Bank
Account(s), on the later of the date on which such payment is due to be made  14


under Section 5(b)(i) above
and two Business Days after it receives an Agreement Notice. In the event of a
Non-Closing following which Daimler does not receive an Agreement Notice prior
to 5:00 p.m. EST on the tenth Business Day following the date that a
payment was otherwise due to be made by Daimler under Section 5(b)(i),
Daimler shall pay the applicable installment of the Required Contributions
directly to the trustee of the Plans, by wire or intra-bank transfer of
immediately available funds to the Plans Bank Account, rather than to the Plan
Sponsor(s), on the twelfth Business Day following the date such payment would
otherwise have been made by Daimler under Section 5(b)(i) and
instruct the trustee of the Plans to allocate such payment among the Plans in
accordance with Schedule A.  (iii)Daimlers
payment of the Required Contributions to the Plan Sponsor(s) or the
trustee of the Plans in accordance with this Section 5 shall fully
discharge Daimlers obligation to make the Required Contributions. If a Plan is
terminated in an Involuntary Termination or a Distress Termination prior to any
Scheduled Payment Date, Daimler shall make the Single Plan Required
Contribution Amount applicable to such Plan on the Scheduled Payment Date(s) directly
to the statutory trustee appointed for such Plan pursuant to Section 4042
of ERISA.  (c)Cooperation
with Respect to Potential Restructuring. (i) Daimler, the PBGC
and the Plan Sponsor(s) shall reasonably cooperate to restructure the
$400,000,000 (Four Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) of Required Contributions
payable on the Scheduled Payment Dates (A) in a manner that would achieve
the parties express intention that the Required Contributions are exclusively
for the benefit of the Plans and are not subject to the claims by or on behalf
of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor(s) or otherwise subject to any
disgorgement or repayment obligation by the Plan, (B) in a manner that
would result in the Required Contributions being deemed to have been
contributed to the Plans prior to the Scheduled Payment Dates and (C) so
that the Plan Sponsor(s) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
apply the Required Contributions to the Plan Sponsors minimum funding
requirements applicable to the Plans; provided, however, that no
such restructuring shall affect the rights or obligations of any of the parties
to this Agreement. The parties intend, subject to any necessary government
approvals and entering into reasonably acceptable definitive agreements, to
restructure the $400,000,000 (Four Hundred Million U.S. Dollars) of Required
Contributions to be made on the Scheduled Payment Dates as follows: (Y) Daimler
will execute and deliver a note(s) to the Plan Sponsor(s) evidencing
Daimlers obligation to make the Required Contributions on the applicable
Scheduled Payment Dates (the Daimler Note(s)) to the Plan Sponsor(s) and
(Z) the Plan Sponsor(s) will immediately contribute the Daimler Note(s) to
the Plans, in accordance with the Single Plan Required Contribution Amounts set
forth on Schedule A. To the extent that Daimler pays the Plans Bank
Account in connection with the Daimler Notes(s), the Plan Sponsor shall provide
the PBGC with written evidence of the amount of payment within five Business
Days after such payment is made.  (ii)The Plan
Sponsor(s) acknowledge and agree that the Required Contributions or the
Daimler Notes evidencing such Required Contributions are being received by the
Plan Sponsor(s) exclusively for the benefit of the Plans. Daimler shall
have no obligation to restructure any portion of the Required Contributions if
such restructuring would result in Daimler or any of its Affiliates being
subject to liability for engaging in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA. For the avoidance of doubt, any such restructuring shall not affect the
amount of the Single Plan Required Contribution Amount for any Plan or the
applicable Scheduled Payment Dates. The Plan Sponsor(s) (and not Daimler)
shall be solely responsible for any  15


consequences to the Plans or
the Plan Sponsor(s) in connection with a Plan Sponsors reporting, tax or
other position related to the time at which the Required Contributions are
treated as having been contributed to the Plans or the extent to which any
Required Contribution may be used to satisfy the Plans minimum required
contributions. The Plan Sponsor(s) shall be solely responsible for all
costs associated with obtaining any rulings or other applicable guidance or
relief from any applicable regulatory authority in connection with any such
restructuring. The Plan Sponsor(s) shall not require Daimler to incur any
third-party costs associated with the obligation to cooperate pursuant to this Section 5(c).
In no event shall Daimlers cooperation with the Plan Sponsor(s) under
this Section 5(c) be construed as Daimlers endorsing the
merits of any position taken by the Plan Sponsor(s) with respect to any
restructuring.  (d)Daimler
Guaranty. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
Daimler and the PBGC shall execute, and Daimler shall deliver to the PBGC, the
Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Schedule B.  (e)Waiver of
Immunity. Daimler represents, warrants and agrees that it is
and will be subject to civil and commercial Law with respect to all of its
obligations to the PBGC and the Plans under this Agreement, that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement constitutes and will constitute
private and commercial acts, rather than governmental or public acts, and that
neither Daimler nor any of its respective properties or revenues has or will
have any right of immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, set-off, execution of
judgment or any other legal process with respect to its obligations under this
Agreement to the PBGC or to the Plans. To the extent that Daimler is or may
hereafter be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at
any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement, to claim for itself or
its revenues or assets any such immunity, and to the extent that in any such
jurisdiction there may be attributed to Daimler such immunity (whether or not
claimed), Daimler hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably
waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement to
the PBGC and the Plans. The foregoing waiver of immunity shall have effect, to
the fullest extent, under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of
1976 (the Act), or any successor thereto or any similar Law or
statute. The foregoing waivers and agreements are intended to be irrevocable
and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such Act or any such successor or
similar Law or statute.  (f)Consent to
Jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary and solely with respect to this Section 5, Daimler hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) consents that any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of this Agreement shall be brought in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii) expressly
submits for itself and its property to personal jurisdiction within the United
States of America and expressly waives all objections on the grounds of personal
jurisdiction or venue; (iii) agrees to service of process in any legal
proceeding to enforce this Agreement in person, by an internationally
recognized overnight courier service, or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, to Daimler, at its address for notice pursuant to Section 14
of this Agreement (with a copy as specified in that section); and (iv) agrees
that final judgment against it in any action or proceeding arising out of,
relating to, or for the enforcement of, this Agreement shall be conclusive and
may be enforced or recognition thereof may be sought in any other jurisdiction
within or outside the  16


United States of America by
summary proceedings in a suit on the judgment, a copy of which shall be
conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of Daimlers obligation.  SECTION 6.    Settlement;
Forbearance; Release; Expenses; Termination of Daimler Side Letter.  (a)Daimler, the DC
Contributors, the Company, CarCo (on behalf of itself and all of its
subsidiaries), the Investor and CGI hereby release all current and future
claims (other than claims that are covered by Section 7) that they may
have against each other and against each others respective Affiliates (which
includes, for purposes of this Section 6(a), Individuals) under the
Contribution Agreement and all other agreements executed in connection with the
Contribution Agreement and the LLC Agreement, including all claims raised by
the Investor claim letter, dated October 30, 2008.  (b)In addition to
the release in Section 6(a), (i) CarCo, on behalf of itself and all
of its subsidiaries, hereby releases each of Daimler, the DC Contributors, the
Company, the Investor and CGI and each of their respective Affiliates (which,
for purposes of this Section 6(b), includes Individuals but does not
include CarCo, its subsidiaries or their Individuals) from any and all Section 101
Claims, including Avoidance and Other Actions, and (ii) each of Daimler,
the DC Contributors, the Company, the Investor, Intermediate Holdco, CarCo
Intermediate Holdco II, LLC and CGI hereby release CarCo, its subsidiaries and
their Affiliates (which includes, for purposes of this Section 6(b),
Individuals) from any and all Section 101 Claims (other than claims that
are covered by Section 7), including Avoidance and Other Actions arising
in connection with CarCo, its subsidiaries and their businesses; provided,
that none of the releases in this paragraph shall be effective with respect to
any Section 101 Claims (other than Avoidance and Other Actions) that are
(or but for this Agreement would be) transferred to NewCar Acquisition LLC with
the approval of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court in the CarCo Chapter 11 Cases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other provision in this Agreement, the
Approval Order or any other agreement between the Daimler Parties and CarCo, no
release of the Daimler Parties and their Affiliates (each, a Daimler
Released Party) by the CarCo Debtors (other than the releases set forth in
Section 6(a)) shall become effective against any Daimler Released Party
until the later of (A) forty-five (45) calendar days after the entry of
the Approval Order (such 45-day period, the Challenge Period) if the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Chrysler LLC, et al. (the Committee)
has not during such Challenge Period delivered to counsel to CarCo (with a copy
to Daimler) a written demand (the Committee Demand) for CarCo to bring
a claim against such Daimler Released Party as set forth in a proposed
complaint (the Committee Complaint) attached to such Committee Demand,
and (B) no more than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the delivery of
the Committee Demand (provided that in no event shall such date be later than
60 calendar days after the entry of the Approval Order) if the Committee, after
first obtaining leave of the Bankruptcy Court to commence such derivative
litigation, has not filed the Committee Complaint, or CarCo has not filed a
complaint (the Debtor Complaint) asserting some or all of the same
claims against such Daimler Released Party as set forth in the Committee
Complaint, in the Bankruptcy Court (the condition set forth in either
subsection (A) or (B), the Loan Release Condition); provided,
however, that the limitation on releases set forth in this Section 6(b) shall
apply only with respect to claims set forth in the Committee Complaint or
Debtor Complaint filed within the time period set forth in the foregoing
subsection (B), and that the release of all other claims by CarCo against the
Daimler Released Parties pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall
become effective and binding upon  17


the parties to this
Agreement upon the filing of a Committee Complaint or Debtor Complaint that does
not assert such claims; and provided further that the limitation on releases
set forth in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to any claim
released in Section 6(a).  (c)Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the releases set
forth in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) shall not apply to
ongoing operational agreements (including all obligations relating to post-December 31,
2008 trade receivables/payables between Daimler and CarCo, the Risk Sharing
Agreement or the Master AutoFinance Agreement), credit support arrangements,
the Prior Settlement Agreements, the Redemption Agreement and the agreements
executed in connection with the Redemption Agreement, and (ii) other than
as specified in Section 6(a), and other than for Avoidance and Other
Actions or claims against natural persons for breach of fiduciary duty, or
against any Person for aiding and abetting such a breach of fiduciary duty,
there shall be no discharge or release of any Person with respect to, and no
provision in this Agreement shall modify in any manner, any claims, including Section 101
Claims, (A) of any non-debtor subsidiary of a CarCo Debtor acquired
pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, or (B) that relates to an
Assumed Contract (as defined in the Master Transaction Agreement) and is not an
Excluded Asset (as defined in the Master Transaction Agreement) or that is, or
that but for this Agreement would have been, a Purchased Asset (as defined in
the Master Transaction Agreement), in each case subject to the occurrence of
the MTA Closing.  (d)Without
limitation of the foregoing, effective as of the date of the Redemption, except
as otherwise specified in this Agreement and the Redemption Agreement, each of
the Daimler Parties, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, hereby (i) irrevocably
relinquishes and waives any and all of its interests and rights (whether
related to governance (including the right to appoint any members of the Board
of Managers (or equivalent governing body) of the Company or any of its
Affiliates), information, economic, contractual or other rights) with respect
to the Company and its Affiliates that such Daimler Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors or assigns had
or has, prior to, on or after the date of the Redemption, under the LLC
Agreement or under the limited liability company agreement or other
organizational documents of any of the Companys Affiliates or as a holder of
DC Contributor Interests (as defined in the Redemption Agreement), as
applicable, and (ii) agrees to cause its appointees to the Board of
Managers (or equivalent governing body) of the Company or any of its Affiliates
to resign from such positions.  (e)In recognition
of the material and valuable consideration being provided by the released
parties in Sections 6(a) and (b) to, and for the
continuing benefit of, the Estates and all parties in interest in the CarCo
Chapter 11 Cases, the CarCo Debtors agree to use their commercially reasonable
efforts to include global releases and related protections beyond the scope of
those given in Sections 6(a) and (b) for the benefit of
such released persons to the full extent any other Person is granted or
receives therein (or in connection therewith) releases and related protections
that could reasonably be construed to be more expansive in scope and ambit than
the releases and related protections being granted to and received by the
released parties in Sections 6(a) and (b) herein and
the Approval Order.  (f)The PBGC
acknowledges, based on the limited information it has been provided, as of the
date of this Agreement, that it has no reason to assert liability on the part
of  18


Daimler or any of its
Subsidiaries, CGI or any of its Affiliates, or the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries under Section 4069 of ERISA, solely as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.  (g)As of the date
hereof, the PBGC waives any rights it may have now or in the future to cause
Daimler or DNAF to make any payment, or otherwise assert any rights against
Daimler or DNAF, under the PBGC Agreement and the PBGC Guaranty.  (h)Except as
otherwise specified in this Agreement, the Prior Settlement Agreements, the LLC
Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees
and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses,
whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
have occurred.  (i)CarCo shall
cause each of its controlled Affiliates to comply with the terms of Sections
6(a) and 6(b) and not bring any claims released under Section 6(a) or
any Section 101 Claims, including Avoidance and Other Actions, released
under Section 6(b) against any of Daimler, the DC
Contributors, the Company, the Investor or CGI or any of their respective
Affiliates (which includes, for purposes of this Section 6(i),
Individuals).  (j)The Chrysler
Parties (other than CarCo) shall cause FinCo and its Subsidiaries not to bring
any claims for alleged breaches under the Contribution Agreement against the
Daimler Parties.  (k)The Daimler
Parties shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to bring any
claims for alleged breaches under the Contribution Agreement against the Chrysler
Parties.  (l)The Daimler
Side Letter is hereby terminated in its entirety and shall be void and of no
further force or effect.  (m)Neither CarCo
nor any of its Subsidiaries shall assign, convey or otherwise transfer any
right, title or interest in or to, or arising out of or in connection with, any
of the Released Claims from and after the date hereof (other than the transfers
made as part of the 363 Process and Transaction so long as such transfers are
deemed to occur after giving effect to the releases provided for herein).  (n)Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 6, nothing providing for the
release of or by Persons who are not CarCo Debtors shall apply to the United
States of America or to any agency thereof, provided, however, that Section 6(g) shall
apply to the PBGC.  (o)The Investor
and CGI hereby represent and warrant that they did not receive directly or
indirectly dividends or other distributions (other than distributions for tax
payments, if any) on account of their equity interests in CarCo or any of the
CarCo Debtors.  19


SECTION 7.   Chrysler
Debt Forgiveness. (a) Each of DNAF and the Investor hereby forgives,
releases and forever discharges the obligations of CarCo and the other Loan
Parties (as defined in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) to repay the
outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
fees or other obligations thereon or related thereto, owed to DNAF and the
Investor under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, as if all such obligations
were paid in full in cash, and the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement is hereby,
without further action, terminated in full on the date hereof, and shall be of
no further force and effect, without any survival of any representation,
warranty, covenant or other provision contained therein, and notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary contained in the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement.  (b)           DNAF hereby forgives, releases and
forever discharges the obligations of Intermediate HoldCo to repay the
outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
fees or other obligations thereon or related thereto, owed to DNAF under the
Subordinated Note, as if all such obligations were paid in full in cash, and
the Subordinated Note is hereby, without further action, terminated in full on
the date hereof and shall be of no further force and effect, without any
survival of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision contained
therein, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained in the
Subordinated Note.  (c)           DNAF and the Investor each hereby
agree (i) that all of DNAFs and the Investors respective security
interests in and liens on any and all properties and assets of CarCo, if any,
and the Loan Parties (as defined in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement),
whether personal, real or mixed, tangible or intangible, granted by or arising
under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, without further action, are hereby
released and discharged, (ii) that DNAF and the Investor will, at the
reasonable request of CarCo or Intermediate HoldCo at their sole cost and
expense, as applicable, execute such instruments or other writings, or take
such other action, to evidence the termination and discharge of the obligations

DNAF and the Investor, and the termination and release of any security interest
or liens with respect thereto, (iii) that CarCo is hereby authorized to
prepare and file any UCC termination statements as CarCo may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the termination of the security interests and
liens set forth in clause (i) above, without the signature of DNAF or the
Investor, to the extent permitted by Law, (iv) that DNAF and the Investor,
as applicable, will promptly deliver to CarCo the originals of promissory notes
and stock certificates, if any, together with any allonges and stock powers,
currently held by DNAF or the Investor as collateral for the obligations under
the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, or which evidence the obligations under
the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, and (v) DNAF will promptly deliver to
Intermediate HoldCo the originals of any promissory notes currently held by
DNAF which evidence the obligations under the Subordinated Note.  SECTION 8.    Termination
and Release. Notwithstanding the terms of the Umbrella Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary, (a) the
DC Contributors and the Investor agree, and the Investor shall cause FinCo to
agree, that from and after the date of the Redemption the DC Contributors shall
no longer be parties to the Umbrella Agreement, and (b) the DC
Contributors, the Company and the Investor agree that from and after the date
of the Redemption the DC Contributors shall no longer be parties to the
Registration Rights Agreement.  20


SECTION 9.   Information
Rights. Each of the Chrysler Parties and each of the Daimler Parties agree
that the Chrysler Parties shall provide to the Daimler Parties the information
set forth on Schedule C hereto and the Annexes to such Schedule
C, at the time and in the manner set forth therein, in each case (a) solely
with respect to such information relating to a period of time on or prior to
the date of the Redemption unless otherwise expressly set forth in Schedule
C and (b) solely to the extent such Chrysler Parties possess or have
reasonable access to such information.  SECTION 10. Condition

Agreement is expressly conditioned on, and shall not be effective until, the
occurrence of both (a) the entry of the Approval Order and (b) the
full execution of this Agreement by each party hereto, and shall upon such
occurrences become effective without further action of the parties hereto.
Furthermore, Section 7 shall not be effective until the Approval Order
becomes a Final Order, and shall, at such time, become effective without
further action of the parties hereto; provided that, the forgiveness,
release and discharge by DNAF in Section 7(a), and the related
agreements of DNAF in Section 7(c), are expressly conditioned upon,

of the parties hereto upon the later of the occurrence of the Loan Release
Condition and the Approval Order becoming a Final Order.  SECTION 11. Confidentiality.
(a) The parties hereto, other than the PBGC, agree, except as required by
Law or stock exchange regulations, to keep confidential and not to disclose
without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto to any Person any
information about the existence of this Agreement, including the Schedules
to this Agreement, its terms or conditions, including the terms and conditions
set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement, or any other facts
relating thereto, including information about negotiations between the parties
hereto and negotiations and agreements with third parties, including
Governmental Authorities, which took place in connection with this Agreement or
the Schedules to this Agreement; provided, that each party hereto
may disclose such information to (i) any agents, representatives, advisors
(including legal, accounting and financial advisors) and investors, and
(subject to reasonable and customary confidentiality agreements) potential
investors or acquirors of such party or its Affiliates or (ii) the U.S.
Treasury Department, the Bankruptcy Court and any other Governmental Authority;
provided further, that each party shall inform such Persons
of the confidential nature of such information and cause Persons referred to in
the foregoing clause (i) to comply with the confidentiality obligations of
this Section 11 with respect to such information as if such Person
were a party hereto.  (b)           The PBGC
acknowledges that the subject matter of this Agreement is within the scope of
its Letter Confidentiality Agreement (PBGC Confidentiality Agreement)
with CarCo (formerly known as DaimlerChrysler Corporation), dated March 15,
2007, and agrees that the PBGC Confidentiality Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of the Daimler Parties as if each were a party thereto. Section 11(a) and
Section 11(c) shall not apply to the PBGC.  (c)           Subject to Section 11(b) and
the provisos in Section 11(a), in the event that any party hereto
other than the PBGC is requested pursuant to, or required by, Law to disclose
any information concerning this Agreement (each such party a Notifying
Party), prompt notice of such request or requirement shall be given to
each of the other parties hereto in order to enable such parties to seek an
appropriate protective order or other remedy (and if any such party seeks such
an order, the Notifying Party will provide such cooperation as the other party
or parties shall  21


reasonably request), to
consult with the Notifying Party with respect to taking steps to resist or
narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or to waive compliance, in
whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such
protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the parties hereto waive
compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement, the
Notifying Party will disclose only that portion of the information that the
Notifying Party is advised in writing by counsel is legally required to be
disclosed and the Notifying Party will use its best efforts to ensure that all
information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.  SECTION 12. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede
all prior agreements and undertakings (for the avoidance of doubt as between
the Daimler Parties and the Chrysler Parties, except for the Prior Settlement
Agreements), both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof, including the Binding Term Sheet among the parties
hereto (other than Intermediate HoldCo), dated as of April 27, 2009.  SECTION 13. No
Other Amendment. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise alter, modify, amend or in any
way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in the Prior Settlement Agreements, all of which are ratified and
affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  SECTION 14. Notices.

given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by an internationally
recognized overnight courier service or by facsimile (with a copy

and is divided into 964,557,432 ordinary registered shares (including
37,116,831 treasury shares, the Treasury

Namen lautende Stammaktien ohne Nennbetrag)(the Existing Shares).The Company
will not cancel the Treasury Shares prior to the Registration Time.  (C)By resolution of the
Companys annual shareholders meeting held on 9 April 2008 the management
board (Vorstand)of
the Company (the Management
Board)has been authorised, until 8 April
2013, to increase, with the consent of the supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat)of the Company (the Supervisory Board),the
Companys share capital by up to  500,000,000.00 (the Authorised Capital)through the
issue of new registered no par value shares in exchange for cash contributions
(the Authorisation).Pursuant
to the Authorisation, the Management Board is authorized to exclude, with the
Supervisory Boards consent, shareholders subscription rights of the Companys

lower than the market price of the Existing Shares prevailing at the time of

transferee.  15.3This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
the Parties with respect to the subject-matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings with respect thereto.  15.4Any amendment or supplementation (Ergänzung)of this Agreement must be in
writing, unless a stricter form (such as notarial recording) is required by

validity of the other provisions of this Agreement. The same shall apply if it
should transpire that this Agreement contains a contractual omission (Lücke).Instead of the

arrangement which comes as close as legally possible to what the Parties were
trying to achieve with the invalid, void or unenforceable provision (or, as the
case may be, the invalid, void or unenforceable part thereof). In the event
