This Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement (“ Agreement ”) is dated as of May 22, 2009, and is made effective as of December 29, 2008, by and between General Motors Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ GM ”), and GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ GMAC ”).

Recitals

A. GM, directly and through its Subsidiaries, is a worldwide manufacturer, distributor, marketer, and seller of motor vehicles and related goods and services (“ GM Products ”).

B.

C. GM and GMAC provide significant services and resources to each other as provided in the Specified Integrated Agreements and other agreements. The interrelated transactions and dealings between GM and/or its Subsidiaries on the one hand and GMAC and/or its Subsidiaries on the other hand (“ Dealings ”) contribute significantly to the success of GM and GMAC, usually generating efficiencies and enhanced results for each of them, including business opportunities and referrals, data and resource sharing, economies of scale, leveraging staff expertise, and administrative conveniences. These efficiencies flow from four aspects of their relationship: (1) the formal ownership structure that has existed historically, resulting in tax, legal, and administrative efficiencies; (2) propinquity – their history, familiarity, proximity, and common corporate culture and industry experience – allowing informal and simplified interactions; (3) sound business practices, including economies of scale and leveraging of resources, including infrastructure sharing; and (4) their “shared” or “common” customers ( i.e. , GM Dealers and purchasers of GM Products). Combined, these efficiencies result in highly valuable and significant organizational, operational, business, and financial synergies (“ Synergies ”). Although specific aspects of the Dealings may benefit one party more than the other from time to time, the Synergies produce net positive effects for GM and GMAC jointly and individually.

D. The parties entered into the Specified Integrated Agreements to establish the terms and conditions under which the parties thereto provide various services as set forth therein, including that certain Master Services Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2006 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “ Original MSA ”), which, among other things, established certain terms and conditions that apply to the Specified Integrated Agreements.
