-19-

 

          (b) The Advance made on the Effective Date shall be used by the Borrower exclusively to pay
the purchase price for the Rights Offering Equity to be purchased by the Borrower, and shall not
exceed $1,000,000,000.

          (c) The Advance shall be a term loan and no amounts repaid may be reborrowed hereunder.

          (d) Reserved.

          (e) Without limiting any other provision of this Loan Agreement, the obligation of the Lender
to fund the Advance is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Lender) of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 5.01.

          2.02 The Note.

          (a) The Advance shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Note”), dated the date hereof, payable to the Lender
in a principal amount equal to the amount of the Advance and otherwise duly completed. The Lender
shall have the right to have its Note subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser
denominations or otherwise.

          (b) The date, amount and interest rate of the Advance, and each payment made on account of
the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of
the Note, noted by the Lender on the grid attached to the Note or any continuation thereof;
provided, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or notation shall
not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing
hereunder or under the Note in respect of the Advance.

          2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

          (a) The Borrower may request the borrowing to be made on the Funding Date by delivering to
the Lender an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a

          (b) Upon the Borrower’s request for the borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(a), the Lender
shall, assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.03 and in Section 5.01 have

the Advance. Subject to the foregoing, the Lender shall deliver the Advance to the Borrower in
immediately available funds, via wire transfer pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set
forth immediately below:

Bank: JP Morgan Chase

ABA No.: 021000021

Beneficiary: General Motors Corporation

Account No.: 910-200-2095.

          2.04 Limitation on Type of Advance; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR:

          (a) the Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1.01
hereof
are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of
determining rates of interest for the Advance as provided herein; or

-20-

 

          (b) the Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the Spread Amount
plus the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1.01 hereof
upon the basis of which the rate of interest for the Advance is to be determined is not likely
adequately to cover the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Advance; or

          (c) it becomes unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain the Advance hereunder using LIBOR;

then the Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition
remains in effect, the Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding Advance at a rate per annum
as determined by the Lender taking into account the cost to the Lender of making and maintaining
the Advance.

          2.05 Repayment of the Advance; Interest.

          (a) Subject to the exchange right option pursuant to Section 4.13, on the Maturity Date, the
Borrower shall repay to the Lender the aggregate principal amount of the Advance then outstanding
under the Note, together with all interest thereon and fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the
Lender accruing under this Loan Agreement; provided that, if a Termination Event
shall have occurred, all such amounts shall become due and payable on the thirtieth (30th) day
after the Certification Deadline without any further action on the part of the Lender.

          (b) The Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per
annum equal to LIBOR plus the Spread Amount, payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date
in respect of the previous Interest Period, (ii) on the Maturity Date and (iii) on payment or
prepayment of the Advance in whole or in part, in the amount of interest accrued on the amount
paid or prepaid, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) of this Section
shall be payable from time to time on demand.

          (c) If all or a portion of the Advance, any interest payable on the Advance or any fee or
other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Post Default Rate, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in
full (as well after as before judgment).

          (d) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default, at the option of
the Lender, all amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Post Default Rate, in each case from the date of such Default or Event of Default until such
amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

          2.06 Optional Prepayments.

          (a) The Advance is prepayable without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time, in
accordance herewith and subject to clause (b) below. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied (i)
first, to pay any fees and indemnity obligations owed to the Lender, (ii) second, to pay accrued
and unpaid interest and (iii) third, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Advance
until paid in full. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed. If the Borrower intends to prepay the
Advance in whole or in part from any source, the Borrower shall give two (2) Business Days’ prior
written notice thereof to the Lender. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date

-21-

 

specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.
Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $50,000,000 thereafter.

          (b) In connection with each prepayment, other than on an Interest Payment Date, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Lender and hold the Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense which the
Lender may sustain or incur arising from (i) the re-employment of funds obtained by the Lender to
maintain the Advance hereunder or (ii) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such
funds were obtained, in either case, which actual loss or expense shall be equal to an amount
equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by the Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining funds
for the Advance for the period from the date of such payment through the next Interest Payment
Date over (y) the amount of interest likely to be realized by the Lender in redeploying the funds
not utilized by reason of such payment for such period. This Section 2.06 shall survive
termination of this Loan Agreement and payment of the Note.

          (c) Notwithstanding the Borrower’s right to prepay the Advance pursuant to this Section 2.06,
in no event will the Lender’s Lien on any of the Facility Collateral be released upon any such
prepayment until payment in full of the Advance and the satisfaction of all other Obligations.

          2.07 Mandatory Prepayments. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds
are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower
shall, within one (1) Business Day after such Net Proceeds are received by the applicable Loan
Party, prepay the Advance, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds (a
“Mandatory Prepayment”). Upon receiving any Mandatory Prepayment in connection with the
Disposition of Facility Collateral, the Lender shall release its Lien thereon in accordance with
Section 4.12. Unless and until the Advance has been paid in full and all other Obligations have
been satisfied, the Lender shall not be required to release its Lien on any Facility Collateral
other than Facility Collateral for which the Disposition thereof gave rise to such Mandatory
Prepayment.

          2.08 Requirements of Law.

          (a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Lender’s
certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

     (i) shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Loan Agreement, the Note or the Advance (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of
taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (provided that, this
clause (i) shall not apply to any withholding taxes, Excluded Taxes or taxes covered by
Section 3.03);

     (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or
for the account of the Advance or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of
funds by any office of the Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of
LIBOR hereunder;

     (iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition;

-22-

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, by an amount which
the Lender deems to be material, of making, continuing or maintaining the Advance or to reduce any
amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay
the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

          (b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Lender’s certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender or any Person
controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such Person’s capital as a
consequence of any obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such Person
(taking into consideration the Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower
shall promptly pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate
the Lender for such reduction.

          (c) If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection
submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          2.09 Use of Proceeds.

          The Borrower shall only utilize the proceeds from the Advance to pay the purchase price for
the Rights Offering Equity. The Advance made hereunder is not and shall not be construed as an
extension of United States Government Federal funding associated with any specific project.

Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future income, or Other Taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by
any Governmental Authority, excluding net or overall gross income taxes or net or overall gross
profit taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net or overall gross income taxes) and branch
profit taxes imposed on the Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the
Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely
from the Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced, this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such
other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Loan Agreement;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such
amounts payable to the Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are (i) attributable to
the Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 3.03,
(ii) backup withholding taxes, imposed under Section 3406 of the Code, (iii) taxes imposed by way
of withholding on net or gross income, but not excluding such taxes arising as a result of a
change in Applicable Law occurring after (A) the date that such Person became a party to this Loan
Agreement, or (B) with respect to an assignment, acquisition, grant of a participation the
effective date of such assignment, acquisition, participation or appointment, except to the extent
that such Person’s predecessor was entitled to such amounts, or (C) with respect to the
designation of a new lending office, the effective date of such designation, except to the extent
such Person was entitled to receive such amounts with respect to its previous lending office; and
(iv) taxes resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (collectively, and
together with the taxes excluded by the first sentence of this Section 3.03(a), “Excluded
Taxes”).

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

          (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly
as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Lender, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof (or if an official receipt is
not available, such other evidence of payment as shall be satisfactory to such Lender). If the
Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid by the Borrower
under this Section 3.03 when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender
as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of
this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Advance and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          (d) If the Lender (or Participant or the Lender’s assignee) is not a “United States person”
as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), such Person shall
deliver
to the Borrower (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) two original copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI and/or Form W-8IMY, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with
respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and
a Form W-8BEN, and/or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and
duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S.
federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it
becomes a party to this Loan Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant or the Lender’s
assignee, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation, or Lender’s
assignee takes its assignment, as the case may be). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall
deliver such forms promptly upon (i) the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender and (ii) the written request of the Borrower. If the
Lender (or a Participant or the Lender’s assignee) is a “United States person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver a duly executed and properly completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 to the Borrower at the time(s) and in the manner(s) described above with
respect to the other forms referenced in this clause (d) above certifying that such person is
exempt from United States backup withholding tax on payments made hereunder under the Loan
Documents; provided, however, that if the Lender is an “exempt recipient” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.6049-4(c), it shall not be required to provide a
Form W-9 except to the extent required under Treasury Regulations section 1.1441-1.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the Lender shall not be required to deliver
any form pursuant to this paragraph that it is not legally able to deliver.

          (e) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Loan Agreement then the Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law
as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that
the Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in the
Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially
prejudice the legal position of the Lender.

          (f) If the Lender determines that it has received a refund, credit, or other reduction of
taxes in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower, which refund,
credit or other reduction is directly attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid
by the Borrower, the Lender shall within sixty (60) days from the date of actual receipt of such
refund or the filing of the tax return in which such credit or other reduction results in a lower
tax payment, pay over such refund or the amount of such tax reduction to the Borrower (but only to
the extent of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower), net of all out of pocket
expenses of such Person, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Loan Agreement, upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower agrees to repay any amount paid
over to the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (plus penalties, interest, or
other charges) if such Person is required to repay such amount to the taxing Governmental
Authority.

          SECTION
4. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

          4.01 Collateral; Security Interest.

          (a) As security for the prompt and complete payment when due of the Obligations and the
performance by the Borrower of all the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to
this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the
Lender a Lien on and security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to all of
the following personal property wherever located and whether now or hereafter existing and whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, of every kind and description, tangible or intangible:

     (i) all Equity Interests in GMAC owned by the Borrower (including without
limitation, uncertificated Equity Interests);

     (ii) all cash and Cash Equivalents, and all other property from time to time
deposited in any account or deposit account and the monies and property in the
possession or under the control of the Lender or any affiliate, representative,
agent or correspondent of the Lender related to any of the property described in the
preceding clause (i);

     (iii) all books, correspondence, files and other Records in the possession or
under the control of the Borrower or any other Person from time to time acting for
the Borrower that at any time evidence or contain information relating to any of the
property described in the preceding clauses of this Section 4.01(a) or are otherwise
necessary or helpful in the collection or realization thereof;

     (iv) all rights, title and interest of the Borrower (but not any of the
obligations, liabilities or indemnifications of the Borrower) in, to and under the
Loan Documents; and

     (v) and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the
foregoing (clauses (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Collateral”);

in each case howsoever the Borrower’s interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership,
security interest, claim or otherwise).

     The Liens granted to Lender hereinabove shall be first priority Liens on all of the Collateral
(subject to Permitted Liens and to the extent legally and contractually permissible).

     Subject to Section 4.13 and Section 10(h), the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents constitute recourse obligations of the Borrower, and therefore, their satisfaction is not
limited to payments from the Facility Collateral.

          (b) With respect to each right to payment or performance included in the Collateral from time
to time, the Lien granted therein includes a continuing security interest in (i) any supporting
obligation that supports such payment or performance and (ii) any Lien that (A) secures such right
to payment or performance or (B) secures any such supporting obligation (excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, any cash and Cash Equivalents and other property related to the ordinary
commercial relationship between the Loan Parties and GMAC and not to the Equity Interests in GMAC
owned by the Loan Parties).

-26-

 

          4.02 UCC Matters; Further Assurances. The Borrower, shall, at all times on and after
the date hereof, and at its expense, cause Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and
continuation statements to be filed in all applicable jurisdictions as required to continue the
perfection of the security interests created by this Loan Agreement. The Borrower shall, from time
to time, at its expense and in such manner and form as the Lender may reasonably require, execute,
deliver, file and record any other statement, continuation statement, specific assignment or other
instrument or document and take any other action that may be necessary, or that the Lender, may
reasonably request, to create, evidence, preserve, perfect or validate the security interests
created hereunder or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect
to any of the Facility Collateral. The Borrower agrees that, if the grant of a security interest in
any Property to Lender requires a consent to such grant from any other Person (other than the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure such
consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, upon the request of
the Lender, execute and file such Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate or as the Lender may request. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender
to file one or more Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter
arising without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Loan Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any
part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

          4.03 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. If the Borrower shall (i) change the location
of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 6.10 hereof,
(ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location
where it maintains records with respect to the Collateral, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize
under the laws of another jurisdiction, it shall give the Lender written notice thereof not later
than ten (10) days after such event occurs, and shall deliver to the Lender all Uniform Commercial
Code financing statements and amendments as the Lender shall request and taken all other actions
deemed reasonably necessary by the Lender to continue its perfected status in the Collateral with
the same or better priority.

          4.04 Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

          (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or
agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the
Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Loan Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish
the purposes of this Loan Agreement, which the Borrower is required to do hereunder but has failed
to do within the time limits required, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and
realize upon the Collateral, to file such financing statements relating to the Collateral as the
Lender at its option deems appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower hereby gives the Lender the power and right, on behalf of the Borrower, without assent
by, but with notice to, the Borrower, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to do the following:

     (i) in the name of the Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to take
possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any of the
Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any
court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Lender for the purpose
of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Collateral
whenever payable;

-27-

 

     (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral; and

     (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to
make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the
Lender or as the Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive
payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to
become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign
and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits,
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce any other right in respect
of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the
Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any
suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection
therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate;
and (G) in connection with its exercise of its remedies hereunder pursuant to
Sections 4.07 or 10, generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement
with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
the Lender’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Lender’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all as fully and effectively as the
Borrower might do.

The Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

          (b) The Borrower also authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute,
in connection with the sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or
other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

          (c) The powers conferred on the Lender are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the
Collateral and subject to Applicable Law shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any
such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Lender nor any of its officers, directors,
agents or employees shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          4.05 Performance by the Lender of the Borrower’s Obligations. If the Borrower fails
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan Documents, the Lender may
itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, and
the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate,
shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

          4.06 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds
of Facility Collateral received by the Borrower consisting of cash, checks and Cash Equivalents
shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the Borrower,
and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower be turned over to the Lender in the exact form
received by the Borrower (duly endorsed by the Borrower to the Lender, if required), and (b) any
and all such proceeds received by the Borrower will be applied by the Lender against, the
Obligations (whether matured or

-28-

 

unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Lender shall elect. For purposes
hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, royalty
payments, license fees, all prepayments and payoffs, all dividends and distributions, sale
proceeds, rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Facility
Collateral and upon the liquidation of any Facility Collateral, all such proceeds received by the
Lender will be distributed by the Lender in such order as the Lender shall elect. Any balance of
such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Loan Agreement
shall have been terminated shall be promptly paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.

          4.07 Remedies. If a Default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Loan
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, at law
and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Borrower or any other Person (all and each
of which demands, defenses, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived),
may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Facility
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Facility Collateral or any part thereof (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private
sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms
and conditions and at prices that are consistent with the prevailing market for similar collateral
as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall act in good faith to
obtain the best execution possible under prevailing market conditions. The Lender shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such
private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Facility Collateral so sold, free
of any right or equity of redemption in the Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released. The Borrower further agrees, at the Lender’s request, to assemble the Facility Collateral
and make it available to the Lender at places which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at
the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. The Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any
of the Facility Collateral or in any way relating to the Facility Collateral or the rights of the
Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to
the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Lender may elect, and only
after such application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required or
permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c) of the
Uniform Commercial Code, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights
hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other Disposition of Facility Collateral shall be
required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days
before such sale or other Disposition. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus
accrued interest thereon) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Facility
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements
incurred by the Lender, including reasonable fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by the
Lender to collect such deficiency. Because the Borrower recognizes that the Lender may not be able
to purchase or sell all of the Facility Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a
transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Facility
Collateral may not be liquid, the Borrower agrees that liquidation of the Facility Collateral does
not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, the Lender may elect,
in its sole discretion, the time and manner of

-29-

 

liquidating any Facility Collateral and nothing contained herein shall (i) obligate the Lender
to liquidate any Facility Collateral on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all
Facility Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (ii) constitute a waiver of
any of the Lender’s rights or remedies.

          4.08 Continuing Liability of the Borrower. The security interests described above are
granted as security only and shall not subject the Lender or any of its assigns to, or transfer or
in any way affect or modify, any obligation, liability or indemnity of the Borrower with respect
to, any of the Facility Collateral or any transaction relating thereto. None of the Lender or its
assigns shall be required or obligated in any manner to make any inquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under
any such obligation, or to make any payment or present or file any claim, or to take any action to
collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amount thereunder to which any such Person
may be entitled at any time.

          4.09 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Facility Collateral. The Lender’s
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Facility Collateral
in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to
deal with it in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account.
Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Facility Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Facility Collateral
upon the request of the Borrower or otherwise.

          4.10 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein
contained with respect to the Facility Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an
interest.

          4.11 Release of Security Interest Upon Satisfaction of all Obligations. Upon
termination of this Loan Agreement and repayment to the Lender of all Obligations and the
performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, the Lender shall release its security
interest in any remaining Facility Collateral; provided that if any payment, or any
part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
a trustee or similar officer for the Borrower or any substantial part of its Property, or
otherwise, this Loan Agreement, all rights hereunder and the Liens created hereby shall continue to
be effective, or be reinstated, until such payments have been made.

          4.12 Partial Release of Facility Collateral. Provided that no Event of Default shall
then exist, the Lender shall, in connection with any Disposition of any Facility Collateral
permitted under this Loan Agreement (other than Dispositions of Facility Collateral (i) between and
among Loan Parties and Pledged Entities and (ii) pursuant to any GMAC Trust Disposition), release
from the Lien of the Loan Documents the portion of the Facility Collateral Disposed of, upon the
applicable Loan Parties’ satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

          (a) the Borrower shall provide the Lender with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written
notice of its request to obtain a release of such Facility Collateral;

          (b) the Lender shall have received a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in
the amount of the Net Proceeds of the Disposition, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid
interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the prepayment date; and
(ii) all other sums then due and owing under this Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan
Documents in connection with a partial prepayment; provided, that a wire transfer need not be
effectuated in the event
of the Disposition of Facility Collateral in connection with the GMAC Reorganization unless
and until the proceeds are remitted to the Borrower;

-30-

 

          (c) the Borrower shall submit to the Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date of such release, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for such Facility
Collateral for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form that would be satisfactory to
a prudent institutional lender. In addition, the Borrower shall provide all other documentation
the Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by the Borrower in connection with such release,
together with a certificate of a Responsible Person of the Borrower certifying that (i) such
documentation is in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law, and (ii) the release will
not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of the
Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and
property subject to the Loan Documents not being released); and

          (d) the Lender shall have received payment of all the Lender’s reasonable, third party costs
and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the
release of such Facility Collateral from the Lien of the Loan Documents and the review and
approval of the documents and information required to be delivered in connection therewith.

          4.13 Option to Exchange Obligations for Rights Offering Equity. The Borrower hereby
grants to the Lender (and its successors and assigns; provided, that such successor or assign shall
not be an automobile manufacturer or any affiliate thereof unless it is otherwise approved by the
Borrower in writing), the option (the “Option”) to exchange 100% of the Obligations for the Rights
Offering Equity in full satisfaction of such Obligations. The Option may be exercised by the
Lender at any time by providing notice to the Borrower that the Lender is exercising such Option
(the date such notice is delivered by the Lender to the Borrower being referred to below as the
“Option Exercise Date”), and the Exchange Date shall occur on the third (3rd) Business Day after
the Option Exercise Date. On the Exchange Date, the Lender shall acquire all right, title and
interest of the Loan Parties in and to all Class B Membership Interests in GMAC that constitute
the Rights Offering Equity; provided, that, in the event that the Borrower has made any Optional
Prepayments or Mandatory Prepayments of the Advance during the period from the Effective Date to
the Exchange Date, the Lender shall acquire the pro-rata share of the Rights Offering Equity which
corresponds to the outstanding Advance amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has
prepaid 25% of the Advance as of the Exchange Date, then the Lender shall acquire 75% of the units
of Class B Membership Interests in GMAC which constitute Rights Offering Equity. For the purposes
of this Section, the term “Rights Offering Equity” shall include any securities issued with respect
to the Rights Offering Equity pursuant to a reorganization of GMAC.

          SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

          5.01 Conditions Precedent to Advance. The obligation of the Lender to make the
Advance hereunder is subject to the satisfaction, immediately prior to or concurrently with the

          (e) Incumbency Certificate. The Lender shall have received an incumbency certificate
of a secretary or assistant secretary of each Loan Party certifying the names, true signatures and
titles of such Person’s representatives duly authorized to request the Advance hereunder, if

governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and

with all Requirements of Law.

          6.02 Financial Condition. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lender a copy

other Loan Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby and could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or adverse
decision.

          6.04 No Breach. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents nor the
consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions
thereof will (a) conflict with or result in a breach of (i) the charter, by laws, operating

Party of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Loan Document has been duly and validly

executive officer (or person acting in a similar capacity) of each Relevant Company to certify in
writing to the Lender’s Chief Compliance Officer that such Relevant Company’s compensation
committee has reviewed the compensation arrangements of the SEOs with its senior risk officers and
determined that the compensation arrangements do not encourage the SEOs to take unnecessary and
excessive risks that threaten the value of such Relevant Company. The Borrower shall cause each
Relevant Company to preserve appropriate documentation and records to substantiate such
certification in an easily accessible place for a period not less than three (3) years following

provided for thereunder, shall promptly be reported to the President’s Designee.

          (b) The Expense Policy shall, at a minimum: (i) require compliance with all Applicable Law,

(i)in the ordinary course of such Loan Party’s business, or (ii) upon fair and reasonable terms no

Notwithstanding that a Lien is a Permitted Lien, if any Loan Party shall create or incur, or permit
to exist (other than such as may be in existence on the Effective Date), any Lien on, or to, any of
its Property not in the ordinary course of business and such Lien shall secure obligations in an
amount greater than $100,000,000, such Loan Party shall comply with the provisions set forth in

distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property or in
obligations of any Loan Party, other than dividends, distributions, or payments that (i) are owed

exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise

Loan Party shall make any Restricted Payment or other dividend, distribution, or payment under this
Section 8.05 not in the ordinary course of business in an amount greater than $100,000,000, such
Loan Party shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 7.26.

          8.06 No Amendment or Waiver. No Loan Party will amend, modify, terminate or waive any

prior written consent of the Lender

to exist or become effective any agreement that prohibits or limits the ability of any Loan Party
to create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its Property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, other than this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Existing
Agreement, any agreements providing for a Lien permitted under this Loan Agreement. The agreements
excepted from the restrictions of this Section 8.09 shall include customary negative pledge clauses
in agreements providing refinancing Indebtedness or permitted unsecured Indebtedness.

          8.10 Limitations on Indebtedness. No Loan Party will, create, incur, assume or permit

that the incurrence of Indebtedness is Permitted Indebtedness, if any Loan Party shall create,
incur, assume or permit to exist (other than in connection with any Existing Agreement) any
Indebtedness not in the ordinary course of business having an original principal balance greater
than $100,000,000, such Loan Party shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 7.26.

of the receipt thereof, and shall not make any payment thereunder prior to the twentieth (20th) day
thereafter (or such shorter time as the President’s Designee shall approve).

          8.12 ERISA. No Loan Party will permit any Plan maintained by it to (a) engage in any

expected to result in material liability of any Loan Party for excise taxes or fiduciary liability
under Section 406 of ERISA, (b) fail to meet the minimum funding standards of Section 302 of ERISA
whether or not waived, or (c) terminate any Plan in a manner that could result in the imposition of
a Lien or encumbrance on the assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to
Section 4068 of ERISA. No Loan Party shall permit any of their assets to become subject to Title I
of ERISA because they constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of the DOL Regulation Section

          8.13 Action Adverse to the Facility Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted under

hereafter acquired.

          8.15 Restrictions on Pension Plans. From the Effective Date until the latest to
occur of (i) the termination of the Loan Agreement and satisfaction of all Obligations thereunder,
(ii) such time as the Lender ceases to own any Equity Interests of the Borrower acquired under any
Loan Documents (including any Warrants and underlying Equity Interests acquired by the Lender upon
exercise thereof), and (iii) the termination of the Warrant Agreement, no Loan Party or ERISA
Affiliate shall increase any pecuniary or other benefits obligated or incurred by any Plan nor
shall any Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate provide for other ancillary benefits or lump sum benefits
that would be funded by the assets held by any Plan other than benefits due in accordance with Plan
terms as of the Effective Date.

     The prohibitions on benefit increases under this covenant include, but are not limited to, a
prohibition on the creation or, in the case of a benefit not in effect under the terms of a Plan on
December 31, 2008, payment of any obligations associated with any plant shutdowns, permanent
layoffs, attrition programs, or other workforce reduction programs after the Effective Date, except
that the prohibitions under this Section 8.15 shall not apply to a benefit that was not in effect
under the terms of a Plan on December 31, 2008 if the President’s Designee approves such benefit
increase and, at the time of such benefit increase and taking into account such benefit increase,
each Plan of the Borrower and each Plan of each of its ERISA Affiliates is fully funded. In
addition, until such time as the Advance is repaid in full, this Loan Agreement is terminated and
the Lender ceases to own any Equity Interests of the Borrower acquired under any Loan Documents

or any of its Subsidiaries entering into a new Joint Venture, provided that,
neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to enter into a new Joint
Venture if such action otherwise violates Section 8.11 or any other provision of any Loan Document.

          8.17 Permitted Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries are permitted to enter into, or are not restricted from entering into, any transaction
pursuant to the terms of the GM CarCo Loan Agreement and the other GM CarCo Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, pursuant to the GMAC Reorganization, such transaction shall be

          SECTION 10. REMEDIES.

          (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of one or more Events of Default, other
than those referred to in Section 9.01(h) or (i), the Lender may immediately declare the principal
amount of the Advance then outstanding under the Note to be immediately due and payable, together
with all interest thereon and fees and out-of-pocket expenses accruing under this Loan Agreement;
provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Sections 9(h) or (i), such
amounts shall immediately and automatically become due and payable without any further action by
the Lender. Upon such declaration or such automatic acceleration, the balance then outstanding on
the Note shall, subject to Section 10(h), become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Borrower and each other Loan Party and may thereupon exercise any remedies available to it at law
and pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the liquidation of the Facility
Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10(a), subject to
the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in
Sections 9(h) or (i), the Lender shall have the exclusive right, exercisable at its option, to
convert this Loan Agreement into a debtor-in-possession facility in form and substance acceptable
to the Lender. The Lender may, subject to Section 10(h), exercise at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as they so desire, and may thereafter at
any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of one or more Events of Default, the
Lender shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the files of each Loan Party relating
to the Facility Collateral and all documents relating to the Facility Collateral which are then or
may thereafter come in to the possession of any Loan Party or any third party acting for any Loan
Party and each Loan Party shall deliver to the Lender such assignments as the Lender shall
request. In
addition, the Lender shall, subject to Section 10(h), be entitled to specific performance of
all agreements of each Loan Party contained in this Loan Agreement and under any other Loan
Document.

-55-

 

          (c) Subject to Section 10(h), in addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided
herein, the Lender shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state,
foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without
limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable,
under the Uniform Commercial Code.

          (d) Subject to Section 10(h), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement,
the Lender shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party.

          (e) Subject to Section 10(h), the Lender may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder
without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Loan Party hereby expressly waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any right such Loan Party might otherwise have to require the Lender to
enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Loan Party also waives to the extent permitted by
law, any defense such Loan Party might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of
nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Facility Collateral or from
any other election of remedies. Each Loan Party recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are
consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result
of a bargain at arm’s length.

          (f) Subject to Section 10(h), each Loan Party shall be liable to the Lender for the amount of
all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate), and breakage costs
including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred within thirty (30) days of the
Event of Default in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Facility
Collateral.

          (g) The Lender shall also be entitled to all rights and remedies set forth in Section 4
hereof.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement, including that
the Lender shall be entitled to any and all other remedies under the Loan Documents and Applicable
Law, each of which shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available to the
Lender, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default the Lender shall have the right to exercise
the Option pursuant to Section 4.13, at which time the Facility will terminate and all amounts
owing with respect to this Loan Agreement will be immediately exchanged for the Rights Offering
Equity in full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Loan
Agreement.

          SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.

          11.01 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, privilege or remedy under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any
right, power, privilege or remedy under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. All rights, powers,
privileges and remedies of the Lender provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and
all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies provided by law, the Loan Documents and the other
instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent
on any attempt by the Lender to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. The
Lender may exercise at any time after the occurrence of
an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and
from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

-56-

any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Loan
Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby,
that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party agrees to
hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs
with respect to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any rule or regulation or
any other laws, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an
Indemnified Party in connection with any Facility Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to
enforce any provisions of any Loan Document, each Loan Party will save, indemnify and hold such
Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any

Party also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party
for all such Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Loan Agreement, the
Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without
limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that, notwithstanding the fact that the Obligations are secured by the Facility Collateral, but
subject to Section 4.13 and Section 10(h), the Obligations are recourse obligations of the
Borrower.

          (b) Each Loan Party agrees to pay as and when billed by the Lender all of the reasonable
out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the development,
preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Loan
Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith. Each Loan Party agrees to pay as and when billed by the Lender all of the
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) all the
reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to the Lender and (ii) all the due
diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by the Lender with respect
to Facility Collateral under this Loan Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender pursuant to Sections 11.03(a), 11.15 and 11.16 hereof. Each Loan
Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to
the Loan Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advance, this Loan Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          (c) Each Loan Party agrees to pay as and when billed by the Lender all of the reasonable
out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the exercise of the
Lender’s rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including without
limitation all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to the Lender.

          (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by
it under this Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower by the Lender, in its
sole discretion and the Borrower shall remain liable for any such payments by the Lender and such
amounts
shall accrue interest at the Post-Default Rate. No such payment by the Lender shall be
deemed a waiver of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

-58-

 

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of a Loan Party hereunder, the
covenants and obligations of each Loan Party contained in this Section 11.03 shall survive the
payment in full of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Facility
Collateral by the Lender against full payment therefor.

          11.04 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, any
provision of this Loan Agreement may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing
signed by the Lender and the Borrower and any provision of this Loan Agreement may be waived by the
Lender.

          11.05 Successors and Assigns. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

          11.06 Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.05, 3.03, and 11.03
hereof shall survive the repayment of the Advance and the termination of this Loan Agreement. In
addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a request for the
borrowing herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty,
and the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Advance, any Default
that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or
misleading, notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe
that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Advance was made.

          11.07 Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing
herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the
interpretation of any provision of this Loan Agreement.

          11.08 Counterparts and Facsimile. This Loan Agreement may be executed simultaneously

Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Loan Agreement and any notices hereunder
may be transmitted between them by email and/or by facsimile. The parties intend that faxed
signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original

requested.

          11.09 Loan Agreement Constitutes Security Agreement. This Loan Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code

          11.10 Governing Law. Insofar as there may be no applicable Federal law, this Loan
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to any rule of conflicts of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law)
that would result in the application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York. Nothing in this Loan Agreement shall require any unlawful action or inaction by
either party.

          11.11 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY:

-59-

 

     (A) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF,
TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK;

     (B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

     (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY
MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF
MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.02 OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS
OF WHICH THE LENDER SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

     (D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY AND THE LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

          11.13 Acknowledgments. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that:

          (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Loan
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

          (b) the Lender has no fiduciary relationship to any Loan Party, and the relationship between
the Borrower and the Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

          (c) no joint venture exists among or between the Lender and any Loan Party.

          11.14 Hypothecation or Pledge of Facility Collateral. Nothing in this Loan Agreement
shall preclude the Lender from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Facility Collateral or
otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Facility
Collateral. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate the Lender to segregate any
Facility Collateral delivered to the Lender by any Loan Party.

          11.15 Assignments; Participations.

          (a) The Borrower and the other Loan Parties may assign, sell, transfer, participate, pledge,
or hypothecate any or all of their rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents only with the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent may be withheld at the
sole discretion of the Lender. The Lender may assign, sell, transfer, participate, pledge, or
hypothecate to any Person all or any of its rights under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

-60-

 

          (b) The Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more
lenders or other entities (“Participants”) participation interests in the Advance, the
Note, its right to make the Advance, or any other interest of the Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by the Lender of participating interests to a
Participant, the Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement to the Borrower shall remain
unchanged, the Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, the Lender
shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in
connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Loan Agreement and the Note
are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off
in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Loan Agreement and the Note
to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Loan Agreement or the Note; provided, that such Participant shall only be
entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it
shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lender the proceeds thereof. The
Lender also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.04, 2.08,
3.03 and 11.03 with respect to its participation in the Advance outstanding from time to time;
provided, that the Lender and all Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in
the aggregate pursuant to such Sections than the Lender would have been entitled to receive had no
such transfer occurred.

          (c) The Lender may furnish any information concerning any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries in the possession of the Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants
(including prospective assignees and Participants) only after notifying such Loan Party in writing
and securing signed confidentiality statements (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D)
and only for the sole purpose of evaluating participations and for no other purpose unless
disclosure is required pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.

          (d) Each Loan Party agrees to cooperate with the Lender in connection with any such
assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver such replacement notes, and to enter into
such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation.
Each Loan Party further agrees to furnish to any Participant identified by the Lender to such Loan
Party copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by such Loan Party to such
Participant or lender’s assignee hereunder, as and when delivered to the Lender.

          11.16 Periodic Due Diligence Review.

          (a) Until the later to occur of (i) the termination of the Loan Agreement and satisfaction of
all Obligations thereunder, and (ii) the date on which the Lender holds either the Warrant or
Equity Interests in the Borrower having an aggregate liquidation value of less than 10% of the
Warrant exercise price (assuming the Warrant is exercised in full), each Loan Party and each of
its direct and indirect Subsidiaries shall permit the (x) Lender and its agents, consultants,
contractors and advisors, (y) the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program,
and (z) the Comptroller General of the United States access to personnel and any books, papers,
records or other data, in each case to the extent relevant to ascertaining compliance with the
financing terms and conditions; provided that prior to disclosing any information
pursuant to clause (y) or (z), the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program
shall have agreed, with respect to documents obtained under this agreement in furtherance of its
function, to follow applicable law and regulation (and the customary policies and procedures for
inspector generals) regarding the dissemination of confidential materials, including redacting
confidential information from the public version of its reports, as appropriate, and soliciting

-61-

 

the input from the Borrower as to information that should be afforded confidentiality. Each
of the Lender and the Loan Parties represents that it has been informed by the Special Inspector
General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the Comptroller General of the United States that
they, before making any request for access or information relating to an audit, will establish a
protocol to avoid, to the extent reasonably possible, duplicative requests. Nothing in this
Section 11.16 shall be construed to limit the authority that the Special Inspector General of the
Troubled Asset Relief Program or the Comptroller General of the United States have under law.

          (b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that the Lender has the right to perform continuing due
diligence reviews with respect to the business and operations of the Loan Parties and the Facility
Collateral. Each Loan Party also shall make available to the Lender a knowledgeable financial or
accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the business and operations
of such Loan Party and the Facility Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Loan Party acknowledges that the Lenders shall make the Advance to the Borrower based upon
the information concerning the Loan Parties and the Facility Collateral provided by the Loan
Parties to the Lender, and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and
that the Lender, at its option, have the right, at any time to conduct a due diligence review on
the business and operations of any Loan Party and some or all of the Facility Collateral securing
the Advance. In addition, the Lender has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of
each Loan Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and significant shareholders,
if any. The Borrower and the Lender further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Lender in connection with the Lender’s or Special Inspector General of the
Troubled Asset Relief Program’s activities pursuant to this Section 11.16 shall be paid by the
Borrower.

          (c) The Lender will use reasonable best efforts to hold, and will use reasonable best efforts
to cause its agents, consultants, contractors, advisors, and United States executive branch
officials and employees, to hold, in confidence all non-public records, books, contracts,
instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”)
concerning the Loan Parties furnished or made available to them by the Borrower or its
representatives pursuant to this Loan Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be
shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (ii) in the
public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources
by the party to which it was furnished (and without violation of any other confidentiality
obligation)); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Lender from
disclosing any Information to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process. The Lender understands that the Information may contain
commercially sensitive confidential information entitled to an exception from a Freedom of
Information Act request.

     This Section 11.16 shall survive termination of the Loan Agreement and satisfaction of all
Obligations hereunder.

          11.17
Set-Off. Subject in each case to Section 10(h):

          (a) the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time
without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set-off
and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender or any
Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, or any part thereof in such
amounts as Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the
Borrower to Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of Lender against
Borrower, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Loan Agreement, or under any other
Loan Document, as Lender may elect, whether or not
Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims
may be contingent or unmatured;

-62-

 

          (b) the Lender may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Facility Collateral
and all other sums or obligations owed by the Lender or its Affiliates to Borrower against all of
Borrower’s obligations to the Lender or its Affiliates, whether under this Loan Agreement or under
any other agreement with the Borrower, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due,
without prejudice to the Lender’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency;

          (c) the rights of Lender under this Section 11.17 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Lender may have; and

          (d) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have the right to cause
liquidation, termination or acceleration to the extent of any assets pledged by the Borrower to
secure its Obligations hereunder or under any other agreement to which this Section 11.17 applies.

          11.18 Reliance. With respect to the Advance, the Lender may conclusively rely upon,
and shall incur no liability to any Loan Party in acting upon, any request or other communication
that the Lender reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into
the Advance on the Borrower’s behalf.

          11.19 Reimbursement. All sums reasonably expended by the Lender in connection with
the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain the obligation of each
Loan Party (unless and to the extent that the Loan Parties are the prevailing party in any dispute,
claim or action relating thereto). Each Loan Party agrees to pay, with interest at the
Post-Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, the reasonable out of pocket
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Lender in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, enforcement (including any waivers), administration and amendment of the Loan
Documents (regardless of whether the Loan is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action,
including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by the Lender pursuant thereto, any “due
diligence” or loan agent reviews conducted by the Lender or on their behalf or by refinancing or
restructuring in the nature of a “workout.”

          11.20 Waiver Of Redemption And Deficiency Rights. Each Loan Party hereby expressly
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency
judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Facility Collateral as a result of restrictions upon
the Lender contained in the Loan Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection
therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Facility
Collateral shall be disposed of in the event of any Disposition pursuant hereto.

          11.21 Single Agreement. The Borrower and the Lender acknowledge that, and have
entered hereinto and will enter into the Advance hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon
the fact that, the Advance hereunder constitutes a single business and contractual relationship.
Accordingly, the Borrower and the Lender each agree (i) to perform all of their obligations in
respect of the Advance hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations
shall constitute a default by it in respect of the Advance hereunder, and (ii) that payments,
deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of the Advance shall be deemed to
have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect thereof
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be
applied against each other and netted.

-63-

 

          11.22 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. If any
provision of any Loan Document shall be held invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) as
against any one or more Loan Parties, then such Loan Document shall continue to be enforceable
against all other Loan Parties without regard to any such invalidity or unenforceability.

          11.23 Entire Agreement. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior
agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and
therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or
effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of the
Lender.

	$884,024,131.20	 	 
	January 16, 2009
	 	Washington, District of Columbia

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”),
hereby promises to pay to the order of the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY (the “Lender”),
at the principal office of the Lender in Washington, D.C. in lawful money of the United States, and
in immediately available funds, the principal sum of EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR MILLION TWENTY FOUR
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE DOLLARS and TWENTY CENTS (or such lesser amount as shall equal the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advance under the Loan Agreement), on the dates and in the
principal amounts provided in the Loan Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of the Advance, at such office, in like money and funds, for the period commencing on the
date of the Advance until the Advance shall be paid in full, at the rates per annum and on the
dates provided in the Loan Agreement.

          The date, amount and interest rate of the Advance, and each payment made on account of the
principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this
Note, endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof; provided,
that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the
obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Loan Agreement
or hereunder in respect of the Advance.

          This Note is the Note referred to in the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 16,
2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Loan
Agreement”), between the Borrower and the United States Department of the Treasury, as Lender, and
evidences the Advance thereunder. Terms used but not defined in this Note have the respective
meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or in the Loan Agreement, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default the Lender shall have the option to make demand under this
Note, at which time all amounts owing with respect to this Note and the Loan Agreement may be
immediately exchanged for the Rights Offering Equity in accordance with Section 4.13 of the Loan
Agreement in full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Note
and the Loan Agreement.

          Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Borrower agrees to pay all the Lender’s costs of
collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of Lender’s
counsel) in respect of this Note when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees through appellate proceedings.

          Notwithstanding the pledge of the Facility Collateral, but subject to Section 4.13 and Section
10(h) of the Loan Agreement the Borrower hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that the Borrower’s
obligations under this Note are recourse obligations of the Borrower to which the Borrower pledges
its full faith and credit.

A-1

 

          The Borrower, and any indorsers or guarantors hereof, (a) severally waive diligence,
presentment, protest and demand and also notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this
Note, (b) expressly agree that this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended from time
to time, and consent to the acceptance of further Facility Collateral, the release of any Facility
Collateral for this Note, the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (c)
expressly agree that it will not be necessary for the Lender, in order to enforce payment of this
Note, to first institute or exhaust the Lender’s remedies against the Borrower or any other party
liable hereon or against any Facility Collateral for this Note. No extension of time for the
payment of this Note, or any installment hereof, made by agreement by the Lender with any person
now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note, shall affect the liability under this Note of
the Borrower, even if the Borrower is not a party to such agreement; provided, however, that the
Lender and the Borrower, by written agreement between them, may affect the liability of the
Borrower.

          Any reference herein to the Lender shall be deemed to include and apply to every subsequent
holder of this Note. Reference is made to the Loan Agreement for provisions concerning optional
and mandatory prepayments, Facility Collateral, acceleration and other material terms affecting
this Note.

          Any enforcement action relating to this Note may be brought by motion for summary judgment in
lieu of a complaint pursuant to Section 3213 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules. The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits for itself and its property in any legal
action or proceeding relating to this Note or the Loan Agreement, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of any court
of the State and county of New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York. The Borrower consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in
such courts and, to the extent permitted by law, waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or
proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same. The
Borrower agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to its address set forth in the Loan Agreement or at such other address of which the
Lender shall have been notified. The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Note shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to
sue in any other jurisdiction.

          Insofar as there may be no applicable Federal law, this Note shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any rule of conflicts of law (other than
Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law) that would result in the application of the
substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Nothing in this Note shall
require any unlawful action or inaction by the Borrower.

of the Treasury (“Lender”) pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement between the Lender and
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), dated January 16,
2009, you have requested the right to review certain non-public information regarding the Loan
Parties that is in the possession of the Lender. In consideration of, and as a condition to,
furnishing you with such information and any other information (whether communicated in writing or
communicated orally) delivered to you by the Lender or its affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, advisors, agents or “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) (such affiliates and other persons being herein
referred to collectively as the Lender “Representatives”), in connection with the
consideration of a Transaction (such information being herein referred to as “Evaluation
Material”), the Lender hereby requests your agreement as follows:

          (a) The Evaluation Material will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible
Transaction with Lender involving you or your affiliates, and unless and until you have completed
such Transaction pursuant to a definitive agreement between you or any such affiliate and Lender,
such Evaluation Material will be kept strictly confidential by you and your affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, advisors, agents or controlling persons (such affiliates and other persons
being herein referred to collectively as “your Representatives”), except that the
Evaluation Material or portions thereof may be disclosed to those of your Representatives who need
to know such information for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with Lender (it
being understood that prior to such disclosure your Representatives will be informed of the
confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and shall agree to be bound by this Confidentiality
Agreement) or if disclosure is required pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. You agree to
be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by your Representatives.

          (b) The term “Evaluation Material” does not include any information which (i) at the time of
disclosure or thereafter is generally known by the public (other than as a result of its
disclosure by you or your Representatives) or (ii) was or becomes available to you on a
nonconfidential basis from a person not otherwise bound by a confidential agreement with Lender or
its Representatives or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to you. As
used in this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “person” shall be broadly interpreted to include,
without limitation, any corporation, company, joint venture, partnership or individual.

          (c) In the event that you receive a request to disclose all or any part of the information
contained in the Evaluation Material under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order
issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or other regulatory body, you agree to (i) immediately
notify the Lender and the Borrower of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a
request, (ii) consult with the Borrower on the advisability of taking legally available steps to
resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, exercise
your best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded to such information.

          (d) Unless otherwise required by law in the opinion of your counsel, neither you nor your
Representative will, without our prior written consent, disclose to any person the fact that the
Evaluation Material has been made available to you.

D-1

 

          (e) You agree not to initiate or maintain contact (except for those contacts made in the
ordinary course of business) with any officer, director or employee of any Loan Party regarding
the business, operations, prospects or finances of any Loan Party or the employment of such
officer, director or employee, except with the express written permission of the Borrower.

          (f) You understand and acknowledge that no Loan Party is making any representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Material or any
other information provided to you by the Lender. Neither the Loan Parties, their affiliates or
Representatives, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling
persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) shall have any liability to you or any other person
(including, without limitation, any of your Representatives) resulting from your use of the
Evaluation Material.

          (g) You agree that neither Lender nor any Loan Party has granted you any license, copyright,
or similar right with respect to any of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided
to you by the Lender.

          (h) If you determine that you do not wish to proceed with the Transaction, you will promptly
deliver to the Lender all of the Evaluation Material, including all copies and reproductions
thereof in your possession or in the possession of any of your Representatives.

          (i) Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Loan Parties, the
Loan Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction if you or any of your
Representatives breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Confidentiality
Agreement. You agree to waive, and to cause your Representatives to waive, any requirement for the
securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

          The validity and interpretation of this Confidentiality Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be fully performed therein (excluding the conflicts of law rules) insofar as

Court for the District Of Columbia and the United States Court of Federal Claims for the purpose of

further appeal) that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining
terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect and (ii)
the invalid or unenforceable provision or term shall be replaced by a term or provision that is
valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or
unenforceable term or provision.

          This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and
supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters
provided for herein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be
binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of
each party and may be modified or waived only by a separate letter executed by the Borrower and you
expressly so modifying or waiving such Agreement.

Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto. Each such counterpart shall be, and shall be

exists in favor of any other person or entity), except for the
assignment, pledge and security interest in favor of the Pledgee
created or provided for herein or under any other Loan Document and
Permitted Liens, and (except to the Pledgee hereunder) such Pledgor
agrees that, except as permitted by the Loan Agreement, it will not
encumber or grant any security interest in or with respect to the
Pledged Equity Interest or permit any of the foregoing;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to the commitments made by the Borrower
to the Federal Reserve System with respect to GMAC, no options,
warrants or other agreements with respect to the Collateral owned by
such Pledgor are outstanding;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Pledged Equity Interests pledged by such
Pledgor hereunder, represent all of the shares of capital stock and
equity interests of the Issuing Entity owned by such Pledgor;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	to the knowledge of such Pledgor, all of the
Pledged Equity Interests owned by it have been duly and validly issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	the pledge and collateral assignment to the
Pledgee of the Pledged Equity Interests by such Pledgor pursuant to
this Agreement, together with the delivery in the State of New York by
such Pledgor to the Pledgee of all certificated Pledged Equity
Interests together with related stock powers with respect thereto in
blank, and the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements
in the applicable filing jurisdiction set forth on Annex A, will create
a valid and perfected first priority Lien in the Collateral, and the
proceeds thereof, subject to no other Lien or to any agreement
purporting to grant to any third party a Lien on the property or assets
of such Pledgor which would include the Collateral other than a
Permitted Lien allowable under the Loan Agreement.

          7.
FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY.

          7.1. Each Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate with the Pledgee in filing and refiling under
the Uniform Commercial Code such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents
in such filing offices in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction as may reasonably be necessary
or advisable and wherever required or advisable by law in order to perfect and preserve the
Pledgee’s first priority security interest in the Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the
Pledgee to file financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the
Collateral, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the Pledgee
such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee may reasonably
require or reasonably deem
advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to further assure and confirm
unto the Pledgee their rights, powers and remedies hereunder or thereunder.

4

 

          7.2. Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints the Pledgee as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name
of such Pledgor or otherwise, at any time and from time to time after an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, to (i) affix to any documents representing the Collateral, the
stock powers delivered with respect thereto, (ii) transfer or cause the transfer of the Collateral,
or any part thereof, on the books of the Issuing Entity, to the name of the Pledgee or any nominee,
(iii) exercise with respect to such Collateral, all the rights, powers and remedies of an owner,
and (iv) take any action and execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which such Pledgor is required to do
hereunder but has failed to do within the required time frames hereunder. The power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) and all authority hereby conferred are granted and
conferred solely to protect the Pledgee’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Pledgee to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled
with an interest until the Maturity Date.

          8. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGOR. No Pledgor will sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any
option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral except in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
the GMAC Trust Disposition, or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by the Pledgee.

          9. REMEDIES; PRIVATE SALE.

          9.1. Remedies. During the period during which an Event of Default is continuing:

          (a) the Pledgee shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Equity
Interests of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and such additional rights and
remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where
any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted (including, without limitation, the right, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership
pertaining to the Pledged Equity Interests as if the Pledgee was the sole and absolute owner
thereof (and the Pledgors agree to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to
such right));

          (b) the Pledgee may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect
to any of the Pledged Equity Interests and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Pledged Equity Interests;

          (c) the Pledgee may, in its name or in the name of related Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue
for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of, or
in exchange for, any of the Pledged Equity Interests, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

          (d) the Pledgee may, with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests or any part thereof which
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Pledgee or
any of its agents, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Pledged
Equity Interests, at such place or places as the Pledgee deems best, and for cash or for credit or
for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without
demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place
thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived),
and any Person may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Pledged
Equity Interests so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any
private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any

5

 

claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or
otherwise), of any Pledgor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly
waived and released. The Pledgee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private
sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so
adjourned;

          (e) the Pledgee shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other
Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and make application thereof to the
Obligations in such order as the Pledgee shall elect; and

          (f) any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests may be registered in the name of the Pledgee or
its nominee, and the Pledgee or its nominee may thereafter exercise, (A) all voting, corporate or
other organizational and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests at any meeting of
shareholders of the Issuing Entity or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange
and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Equity
Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to
exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or
other organizational structure of the Issuing Entity, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the
Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests, and in
connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such
terms and conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for
property actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any
such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in
so doing.

          The Pledgors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws (to the
extent not preempted), the Pledgee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of
the Pledged Equity Interests which constitutes a “security” under the Securities Act, to limit
purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Equity Interests
for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
The Pledgors acknowledge that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to
the Pledgee than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Pledgee shall not have any obligation to
engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any such Pledged Equity Interests for
the period of time necessary to permit the respective issuer thereof to register it for public
sale.

          9.2. Private Sale. The Pledgee shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale
of the Pledged Equity Interests, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 9.1
of this Agreement conducted in good faith. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the
Pledgee by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Equity Interests may have been
sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale
or was less than the aggregate amount of any obligations.

          10. COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGOR.

          (a) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will take all reasonable steps to defend the
right, title and interest of the Pledgee in and to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof against
the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever; and each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it
will have like title to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the
Pledgee as
Collateral hereunder and will likewise take all reasonable steps to defend its rights thereto
and interests therein.

6

 

          (b) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it shall not (i) create, incur, assume or permit to
exist any Lien or encumbrance on the Collateral (other than the Lien granted hereunder and
Permitted Liens) and (ii) take any action which would have the effect of materially impairing the
position or interests of the Pledgee hereunder except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

          (c) [Reserved].

          (d) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will cause its pledge hereunder to be noted
conspicuously on its books and records. If any certificates or other instruments are issued to
represent the Pledged Equity Interests, then the relevant Pledgor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Pledgee or its designee such certificates or other instruments.

          (e) Other than in connection with the GMAC Reorganization and subject to the commitments made
by the Borrower to the Federal Reserve System with respect to GMAC, no Pledgor will, nor will it
vote to permit any of the Issuing Entity (for so long as all or a portion of its related Equity
Interests constitute Collateral hereunder) to, without the prior written consent of the Pledgee,
(i) enter into or permit to exist any arrangement or agreement (excluding the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents) which directly or indirectly prohibits such Pledgor or any of the Issuing
Entity from creating, assuming or incurring any Lien upon such Pledgor’s properties, revenues or
assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired other than as permitted in the Loan Agreement, (ii)
permit any Lien to exist on any of the Equity Interests of the Issuing Entity for so long as such
Equity Interests constitute Collateral hereunder (other than the Lien granted to the Pledgee
hereunder and Permitted Liens), (iii) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Equity
Interests with respect to the Issuing Entity, regardless of whether such Equity Interests
constitute Collateral hereunder, other than in a transaction permitted under the Loan Agreement or
(iv) except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Agreement, enter into any agreement, contract or
arrangement (excluding the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents) restricting the ability of
the Issuing Entity to pay or make dividends or distributions in cash or kind to the Pledgor or the
Pledgee (to the extent the Pledgee is entitled hereunder to receive the payment of same), to make
loans, advances or other payments of whatsoever nature to the Pledgor, or to make transfers or
distributions of all or any part of its assets to the Pledgor or any Person owning or holding the
Equity Interests with respect to the Issuing Entity; in each case other than (x) customary
anti-assignment provisions contained in leases, permits, licensing agreements and other contracts
entered into by the Pledgor or Issuing Entity in the ordinary course of its business, (y)
restrictions and conditions imposed by any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental
authority, and (z) restrictions and conditions arising under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

          (f) [Reserved].

          (g) [Reserved].

          (h) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it shall:

	 	(i)	 	preserve and maintain its legal existence and
all of its material rights, privileges, licenses and franchises;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	comply with the requirements of all Applicable
Laws, rules, regulations and orders of Governmental Authorities if
failure to comply with such requirements could be reasonably likely
(either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse
Effect;

7

 

	 	(iii)	 	keep adequate records and books of account, in
which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, and maintain adequate accounts and reserves for
all taxes (including income taxes), all depreciation, depletion,
obsolescence and amortization of its properties, all contingencies, and
all other reserves;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	not move its chief executive office or chief
operating office from the addresses referred to in Schedule 6.10 of the
Loan Agreement other than in strict compliance with the obligations set
forth in Section 4.03 of the Loan Agreement;
	 
	 	(v)	 	pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed on it or its income or profits
or on any of its Property prior to the date on which penalties attach
thereto, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the
payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper
proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained.
Each Pledgor and its Subsidiaries shall file on a timely basis all
federal, and material state and local tax and information returns,
reports and any other information statements or schedules required to
be filed by or in respect of it where the failure to file would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	keep in full force and effect the provisions of
its charter documents, by-laws, operating agreements or similar
organizational documents; and
	 
	 	(vii)	 	keep in full force and effect all agreements
and instruments by which it or any of its properties may be bound and
all applicable decrees, orders and judgments, in each case in such
manner that a Material Adverse Effect will not result.

          (i) In the event of a GMAC Trust Disposition of any Pledged Equity Interests, the related
Pledgor covenants and agrees that it shall cause the related Equity Interest Trustee to (i)
acknowledge the Lender’s first priority perfected security interest in such Pledged Equity
Interests and (ii) grant to the Lender a continuing security interest in such Pledged Equity
Interests pursuant to the terms of a pledge or other security agreement and related documentation,
the form and substance of which are acceptable to the Lender in its reasonable discretion;
provided, that such agreement shall permit Equity Interest Dispositions.

          11. PLEDGORS’ OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. Subject to Section 16, the obligations of
each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or
otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation:

          (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Pledgee or its assignee or any acceptance
thereof or any release of any security by Pledgee or its assignee;

          (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligations under any such instrument or
agreement or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such instrument or
agreement or any term thereof;

          (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Pledgor or any Affiliate of such Pledgor, or

such proceeding, whether or not such Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing; or

          (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Pledgors in respect of its obligations hereunder or the Pledgors in respect of
this Agreement or otherwise.

          12. NOTICES, ETC. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all

OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THAT WOULD

          (d)

          17. MISCELLANEOUS. The headings of the several sections and subsections in this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be
severable from the other provisions of this Agreement which shall remain binding on all parties
hereto.

          18. [Reserved].

          19.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the

covenants, obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
Each Pledgor hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (a) any Event of Default or any default,
or breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by any Pledgor hereunder or under any Loan
Document is hereby considered a default or breach by each Pledgor, as applicable, and (b) the

Pledgors. Each Pledgor hereby waives any defense to its obligations under this Agreement based
upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or cessation of liability of one Pledgor
versus the other. A Pledgor’s subrogation claim arising from payments to the Lender shall
constitute a capital investment in the other Pledgor subordinated to any claims of the Lender and
