 Exhibit 10.7 
 MAFA Term Sheet 

 Summary of Required Terms 
 Chrysler – GMAC Master Financial Services Agreement (GMAC MAFA) 
 Dated as of April 30, 2009 
 Following is a summary of the proposed principal terms for a proposed financial services arrangement between Chrysler LLC (“Chrysler”),
and GMAC LLC (“GMAC”) in connection with Chrysler’s proposed industrial alliance with Fiat S.p.A. and efforts to effect a restructuring with the support of the United States Department of the Treasury. Both
parties agree to be bound by the terms, conditions, rights and obligations outlined in this Term Sheet until the Parties execute definitive agreements which will more fully describe the agreement as set forth in this Term Sheet, upon execution of
which such rights and obligations will be governed by the terms and conditions of such definitive agreements. 
  

					
	1	  	Term of Agreement	  	Four year agreement; automatically renewed for successive 1 year terms unless Chrysler or GMAC provide 12 months notice of nonrenewal prior to the end of the current term. In consideration of
the wholesale and retail financing support being provided to Chrysler customers and dealers, particularly in light of the efforts to support the Chrysler dealer network, the agreement will have the exclusivity provisions provided herein. In the
event of a termination of this agreement, GMAC will reasonably cooperate in good faith to assist Chrysler in facilitating the qualification of another financial services provider during an appropriate transition period to be agreed.
			
	2	  	Territories	  	 The financial services to be rendered by GMAC will be offered for all brands distributed through the Chrysler dealer network in the following
countries for the duration of the MAFA:
  
 •        USA (including Puerto Rico on a reasonable best efforts basis)
  
 •        Canada
  
 •        Mexico

  
 •        Other International markets as the parties may mutually agree from time to time

			
	3	  	Transition	  	 GMAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a smooth transition from Chrysler’s current agreements with Chrysler Financial.
The parties will develop separate transition plans for wholesale, and retail financing and ancillary services (e.g., insurance and remarketing services).
  
 As part of transition planning, GMAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) put in place new interim dealer funding for new and used inventory as promptly as
practicable with a target completion date of May 15, 2009, (ii) promptly conduct a dealer credit assessment to determine whether to establish longer-term credit lines of adequate amount and consistent with GMAC credit policies (as determined by GMAC
in good faith) for each Chrysler dealer within 180 days from the date of this Term Sheet, GMAC and Chrysler will collaborate to establish, and GMAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy, interim targets to be established by May 15,
2009 for the completion of such process and (iii) begin to offer new retail financing accommodations to Chrysler dealers as soon as reasonably practicable with an expected target date of May 15, 2009 for standard retail financing and June 1, 2009
for subvention programs. GMAC will provide Chrysler with regular reporting as to the

 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 
  

					
		  		  	 progress of the foregoing. All decisions to establish credit lines or to decline to provide credit or to provide other products or services to a
dealer or consumer will be at GMAC’s sole discretion. To the extent that after the dealer credit assessment GMAC determines not to establish longer-term credit lines for dealers, GMAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
sufficient advance notice to such dealers to enable them to determine whether financing will be available.
  
 As part of the transition plan, GMAC will provide new dealer funding in accordance with this Term Sheet and (i) in the U.S. and Canada, the interim program parameters attached as Annex A hereto and the program
parameters attached as Annex B hereto following the completion of the interim period and (ii) in Mexico, the program parameters attached as Annex C hereto, in each case absent a dealer default.

			
	4	  	Financial Products	  	 GMAC shall provide the following financial services and products to Chrysler dealers and customers, as GMAC deems appropriate from a credit and
risk management perspective in its sole discretion.
  
 Dealer Financing and Services:

  
 •        Vehicle Inventory Financing (New and Used);
  
 •        Capital Loans;
  
 •        Equipment Loans;
  
 •        Real Estate Loans;
  
 •        Dealer
insurance products and services, subject to [***];
  
 •        Remarketing (including GMAC SmartAuction and other auction services); and
  
 •        Electronic cash and drafting settlement systems
  
 Retail Financing:
  
 •        Consumer Retail Financing;
  
 •        Commercial Retail Financing; and
  
 •        Fleet Financing (Commercial Finance).
  
 Currently GMAC does not offer any leasing products other than standard rate products, but GMAC may
offer such products in the future subject to market conditions and risk management policies and if offered by GMAC, will be available to the Chrysler network on a non-discriminatory basis taking into account that OEMs offer different products and
programs and those products have different residual values.

			
	5	  	Risks	  	 Subject to GMAC’s credit policies and the terms below, GMAC shall provide all financing and funding for the financial services offered and
shall bear all risks in connection with financing services including, but not limited to credit risk; and residual value risk
  
 Unless otherwise mutually agreed (e.g. in connection with a specific subvention program), all such financing and funding will be on a non-recourse basis with respect to
Chrysler and pursuant to which Chrysler shall not bear the credit risk.

		  		  	 In the event that all or substantially all of the assets of Chrysler are sold in a transaction that, in the judgment of GMAC, is likely to result
in the successful stabilization of Chrysler’s automobile manufacturing business (i.e., if Chrysler emerges from bankruptcy), [***].
  
 In any event, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith on an annual basis [***].
  
 For the avoidance of doubt, each of Chrysler’s subsidiaries that are debtors in Chrysler’s bankruptcy case will guarantee Chrysler’s obligations under this
agreement unless explicitly prevented by any preexisting agreement or applicable law or to the extent that such guarantees would result in a material adverse tax consequence to Chrysler.
  
 Formal approval of dealership credit lines will be contingent upon having a Vehicle Repurchase
Agreement from Chrysler, in form and substance mutually agreed between the parties, including the minimum terms outlined in Annex D of this Term Sheet (the “Vehicle Repurchase Agreement”).

			
	6	  	Retail Exclusivity for Subvention Programs	  	 Chrysler will, (i) beginning six months after the date of this Term Sheet, use GMAC for at least [***] of Chrysler subvented volume and (ii)
beginning twelve months after the date of this Term Sheet, use GMAC for at least [***] of Chrysler subvented volume (the “Volume Thresholds”).
  
 Prior to the period during which the Volume Thresholds are in effect, Chrysler will continue to offer subvented volume through GMAC on a non-exclusive, side-by-side basis
with any third party finance provider.
  
 If there is no Capital Markets Disruption and
[***], Chrysler may provide such specific subvention program through third parties (without such volume being counted in the Volume Threshold calculation). In such cases, Chrysler will consult in good faith with GMAC as to the terms and conditions
of the individual situations in order to facilitate GMAC’s ability to service Chrysler’s retail financing needs.

			
	7	  	Capital Markets Disruption	  	 Capital markets disruption (“Capital Markets Disruption”) is defined as a period of time in which global credit markets are such
that credit is either “not available” or “not available on any commercially reasonable terms” to borrowers with credit rating and business prospects similar to GMAC for a period of three months or longer. Chrysler and GMAC will
mutually and reasonably determine whether a Capital Markets Disruption has occurred, and if so when it ends.
  
 During a Capital Markets Disruption, [***] Chrysler will be relieved from the exclusivity provided under section 6 above and may work with other third party financial providers to provide such financing products on a
temporary basis (on terms consistent with terms offered to GMAC) (“Alternative Volume”) until GMAC has provided notice that the Capital Markets Disruption has ended. Upon such notice, the Volume Thresholds will be immediately reinstated;
provided that any Alternative Volume shall not be counted against such Volume Threshold for six months from the date of GMAC’s notice.

	8	  	Retail Pricing Methodology	  	 US and Canada
  
 Rate support pricing will be based on [***].
  
 GMAC will represent to Chrysler that pricing will be determined using [***]. The formula for the calculation of the pre-existing OEM support rate will be adjusted by
[***]
  
 This dynamic approach is intended to [***].
  
 The parties will be transparent in pricing methodology (including formula and
parameters).
  
 Mexico and other agreed international markets
  
 Support rate pricing methodology for other agreed international markets, including Mexico, will be
negotiated separately. Pricing methodology will be consistent with subvented pricing GMAC uses for other OEMs in that country.

			
	9	  	Credit Policies	  	GMAC shall provide the financing services under its credit policies. GMAC’s credit policies shall be the sole responsibility and under the sole control of GMAC. Upon reasonable request,
GMAC shall provide Chrysler with copies of its credit policies currently in effect at the time of such request.
			
	10	  	Information and Reporting	  	 GMAC will meet with Chrysler periodically via the Coordinating Committee, as well as upon reasonable request, to discuss current and projected
financing needs for Chrysler dealers and retail customers; GMAC will provide Chrysler a periodic funding plan designed to meet these financing needs. Chrysler and GMAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and deliver to each other on
a regular, timely basis, such information and reports as the other reasonably requests from time to time regarding any and all aspects of the dealings under the MAFA, unless privileged or subject to legal restrictions on disclosure.
  
 GMAC will provide, through the monthly Coordinating Committee meetings, benchmark pricing and
standard rates of other automotive retail lenders.
  
 Chrysler will also provide GMAC
with customary information concerning the GMAC financed dealer network, including, without limitation, monthly dealer financial statements, daily retail sale reporting and direct access to Chrysler’s information systems to assist GMAC in
monitoring dealer accounts and dealer inventories and facilitate direct billing of new vehicle inventory.
  
 GMAC will, at Chrysler’s request, provide Chrysler with information and regular reports to facilitate Chrysler’s understanding of wholesale and retail financing dynamics and GMAC's volume, breadth, and depth
of credit buying including, but not limited to, daily application volume and approvals by credit tier by business center, daily cashing volume and rates by credit tier by business center, monthly penetration reports by subvented and standard rates
(e.g. book-to-approval rates), by vehicle line.

	11	  	Service Levels	  	GMAC will provide Chrysler with current service level metrics including without limitation application response time, call center performance metrics and website performance, which are
monitored in the ordinary course by GMAC. The parties will then agree which of these metrics will be used by the Coordinating Committee to measure performance. These metrics, along with a bi-annual NADA survey will be reviewed in the monthly
Coordinating Committee, and that committee will determine scorecards to apply against these metrics and paths to remedy any shortfall in performance against the agreed scorecard.
			
	12	  	Organizational Set Up	  	 In recognition of the fact that GMAC’s long term major customer is a principal competitor of Chrysler, GMAC will work in good faith with
Chrysler (i) to develop and enter into a private label financing plan and service agreement and (ii) establish such other dedicated or customized services as the parties may mutually agree from time to time on such terms and conditions as may be
mutually agreed between the parties. The parties will agree on a plan (including milestones, deliverables and cost sharing) with respect to implementation.
  
 GMAC will transition to a dedicated Chrysler sales force in each of GMAC’s metro markets and other regions agreed between the parties (with exceptions to be agreed
upon, for example multi-franchise operators)

			
	13	  	Forms of customer agreement	  	The forms of all dealer and consumer finance and/or leasing agreements will be in GMAC’s sole discretion and responsibility.
			
	14	  	Review Rights	  	Each party will provide the other party reasonable access, during regular business hours, to its files, books, and records pertaining to the services contemplated by the MAFA. Neither
Chrysler nor GMAC shall be entitled to such a review more than once in any six-month period. Any such review will be limited in duration, manner, and scope reasonably necessary and appropriate to confirm compliance with the terms and conditions of
the MAFA. Neither party is obligated to provide any access or information if such action would violate any obligation of confidentiality or applicable law.
			
	15	  	Data — confidentiality and mining	  	 GMAC will not, directly or indirectly, share data about Chrysler dealers and their customers to other OEMs, authorized car distributors, or
authorized car dealers, absent consent of Chrysler, the affected Chrysler dealers and their customers (as applicable), and will put in place appropriate safeguards to protect such information. These restrictions do not apply to GMAC’s “own
experience” data about Chrysler dealers and customers, or data that is otherwise public.
  
 In the event of termination, the parties will agree in good faith on parameters for the sharing of information contained in the customer database maintained by GMAC.

			
	16	  	Governance	  	The Parties shall establish and maintain a Coordinating Committee to review and consider the performance of the MAFA and resolve any disputes that may arise, including a dispute escalation
process.
			
	17	  	[***]	  	[***]
			
	18	  	Indemnity	  	The parties will provide customary cross-indemnities with respect to obligations and liabilities that are primarily the obligations and liabilities of one of the parties.
			
	19	  	Cross-Selling 	  	The parties intend to develop a relationship in which GMAC will become Chrysler’s preferred financial services provider. The parties will explore cross-selling and revenue share
opportunities with respect to financial and other services not explicitly set forth in this agreement.

 SVB FINANCIAL GROUP 
 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT 
 SVB Financial Group (the “Company”), pursuant to
its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), has granted to Participant an Option to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”). This Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option”
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 The grant hereunder is in
connection with and in furtherance of the Company’s compensatory benefit plan for participation of the Company’s Employees (including Officers), Directors or Consultants. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Award Agreement
shall have the same definitions as in the Plan or in the Notice of Grant of Stock Options (“Notice of Grant”), to which this Award Agreement is attached. 
 The details of your Option are as follows: 
 1. TOTAL NUMBER
OF SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS OPTION. The total number of Shares subject to this Option is set forth in the Notice of Grant. 
 2. VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Shares will vest (become exercisable) as set forth in the
Notice of Grant until either (i) you cease to be a Service Provider for any reason, or (ii) this Option becomes fully vested. 
 3. OPTION PRICE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT. 
 (a) Option Price. The Option Price per Share of this Option is the price set forth in the Notice of Grant, such price being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the Date of Grant of this Option. 
 (b) Method of Payment. Payment of the Option Price per Share is
due in full upon exercise of all or any part of each installment which has accrued to you. You may elect, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, to make payment of the Option Price under one of the following alternatives: 
 (i) Payment of the Option Price per Share in cash (including check) at the time of exercise; 
 (ii) Provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment by
delivery of already-owned Shares, held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings, and owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, which Common Stock shall be valued at its
fair market value on the date of exercise; 
 (iii) Consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise
program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or 
 (iv) Payment by a combination of the methods of payment permitted
by Section 3(b)(i), (ii), and (iii) above. 
 4. WHOLE SHARES. This Option may only
be exercised for whole Shares. 
  

 -2- 

 5. SECURITIES LAW
COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Option may not be exercised unless the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Securities Act”) or, if such Shares are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 6. TERM. The term of this Option commences on the Date of Grant and expires on the Expiration Date, unless this Option
expires sooner as set forth below or in the Plan. In no event may this Option be exercised on or after the Expiration Date. This Option shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date as follows: three (3) months after your
termination as a Service Provider unless one of the following circumstances exists: 
 (a) Your termination as a Service
Provider is due to your Disability. This Option will then expire on the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth above or twelve (12) months following such termination. You should be aware that if your Disability is not considered a
permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 422(c)(6) of the Code, and you exercise this Option more than three (3) months following the date of your termination of service, your exercise will be treated for tax purposes
as the exercise of a “nonstatutory stock option” instead of an “incentive stock option.” 
 (b) Your
termination as a Service Provider is due to your death. This Option will then expire on the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth above or twelve (12) months after your death. 
 (c) Your termination as a Service Provider is due to Cause (as defined in the Plan). This Option will then expire on the date of such
termination. 
 (d) If during any part of such three (3)-month period you may not exercise your Option solely because of the
condition set forth in Section 5 above, then your Option will not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth above or until this Option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after your
termination as a Service Provider. 
 (e) If your exercise of the Option within three (3) months after your termination as
a Service Provider of the Company or of an Affiliate would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then your Option will expire on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date set forth above, or
(ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such liability. 
 However, this Option may be
exercised following your termination as a Service Provider only as to that number of Shares as to which it was exercisable on the date of termination under the provisions of Section 2 of this Option. 
 In order to obtain the federal income tax advantages associated with an “incentive stock option,” the Code requires that at all times beginning
on the date of grant of the Option and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of the Option’s exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, except in the event of your death or
Disability. The Company may provide for continued vesting or extended exercisability of your Option under certain circumstances for your benefit, but cannot guarantee that your Option will necessarily be treated as an “incentive stock
option” if you provide services to the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company as a Consultant or exercise your Option more than three (3) months after the date your employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company terminates. 
  

 -3- 

 7. EXERCISE. 
 (a) This Option is exercisable by (i) delivery of an exercise notice, in the form and manner determined by the Administrator, or
(ii) following an electronic or other exercise procedure prescribed by the Administrator, which in either case shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such
other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Participant shall provide payment of any applicable tax withholding arising in connection with such exercise. This Option shall be deemed
to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of a fully executed exercise notice or completion of such exercise procedure, as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion, accompanied by any applicable tax withholding. 
 (b) By exercising this Option you agree that: 
 (i) as a precondition to the completion of any exercise of this Option, the Company may require you to enter an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation
of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of this Option; (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the Shares are subject at the time of exercise; or (3) the disposition of Shares acquired upon such
exercise; and 
 (ii) you will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of
any of the Shares issued upon exercise of this Option that occurs within two (2) years after the date of this Option grant or within one (1) year after such Shares are transferred upon exercise of this Option. 
 8. CODE SECTION 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 (or
that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” An Option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the
exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The “discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax
to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later
examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for
Participant’s costs related to such a determination. 
 9. TRANSFERABILITY. This Option is not transferable,
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a
third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise this Option. 
 10. OPTION
NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. This Option is not a guarantee of continued service and nothing in this Option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part
to continue in the service of the Company, or of the Company to continue your service with the Company. In addition, nothing in this Option shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate, or their respective stockholders, Board of Directors,
officers or employees to continue any relationship which you might have as a Service Provider for the Company or Affiliate. 
  

 -4- 

 11. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in this Option or the Plan shall be
given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the address specified
below or at such other address as you hereafter designate by written notice to the Company. 
 12. GOVERNING
PLAN DOCUMENT. This Option is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and its provisions are hereby made a part of this Option, including without limitation the provisions
of Section 6 of the Plan relating to Option provisions, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Option and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. 
 13. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. This Option is subject to stockholder approval of the Plan within twelve (12) months of the Plan adoption date. If stockholder approval is not obtained
within such twelve (12)-month period, this Option shall immediately terminate in its entirety.

 Share Attestation Form 
 SVB Financial Group 
 Attn: Investor Relations, HG100 
 3003 Tasman Drive 
 Santa Clara, CA 95054 
 I will use shares of SVB Financial Group (the “Company”) common stock I already own to pay the exercise price on the stock options identified on the attached Notice of Exercise. I will not deliver
the shares. The Company will subtract the number of shares required to pay the exercise price from the underlying shares I am entitled to receive from the stock option and send me the balance. 
 1. I certify that I own                  shares of SVB Financial Group common stock
(the “Attested Shares”) which I tender to pay part or all of the stock option exercise price. I hold the Attested Shares (check one): 
  

	 	 ̈	individually. A photocopy of the stock certificate(s) is attached. 

  

	 	 ̈	jointly as                 . A photocopy of the stock certificate(s) is attached.

  

	 	 ̈	in a brokerage account in the name(s) of                 . A photocopy of a brokerage statement
from the preceding two months showing the Company stock is attached. (Note: Irrelevant information related to other investments may be blocked out.) 

 2. I certify that (check all that apply): 
  

	 	 ̈	the Attested Shares are NOT held by a trustee or custodian in an IRA account or any tax deferral plan. 

  

	 	 ̈	I have owned the Attested Shares for AT LEAST SIX MONTHS and did not acquire them in a stock-for-stock transaction during that six months. 

  

	 	 ̈	the Attested Shares were originally acquired through an incentive stock option (ISO) exercise and 

  

	 	 ̈	I have owned                  shares for AT LEAST ONE YEAR; or 

  

	 	 ̈	I have owned                  shares for LESS THAN ONE YEAR (Note: Attesting ISO shares
held less than one year triggers a disqualifying disposition of the Attested Shares.) 

  

	 	 ̈	the Attested Shares were purchased through the SVB Financial Group Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and: 

  

	 	 ̈	I have owned                  shares for AT LEAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS; or

  

	 	 ̈	I have owned                  shares for LESS THAN EIGHTEEN MONTHS (Note: Attesting ESPP
shares held less than eighteen months triggers a disqualifying disposition of the Attested Shares.) 

 3. Apply toward the option
price: 
  

	 	 ̈	the maximum number of whole shares necessary to pay the aggregate exercise price of my option. I agree to settle any fractional share balance with the Company within 2
days of the Effective Date via check. 

  

	 	 ̈	the total number of whole shares represented by this attestation to pay for only part of the exercise price. I agree to settle the remaining balance of the aggregate exercise
price by check within 1 day of the Effective Date.

 Although I will not be required to make actual delivery of the Attested Shares and I will retain full ownership of the
Attested Shares, I represent that I (with the consent of the joint owner, if any) have the full power to deliver the Attested Shares to the Company for their benefit. 
 By signing, any joint owner consents to the exercise of the stock option(s) using Attested Shares and agrees with any representations made above pursuant to the Attested Shares.
