WHEREAS, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated as of [ ], 2011 (the “Second Amended Declaration”), the Trust has re-designated its previously issued trust preferred securities as trust preferred securities of the Issuer (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) and then immediately thereafter designated a portion of such Trust Preferred Securities as trust preferred securities of Series 2 of the Trust.

WHEREAS, the Guarantor will continue to be bound by its irrevocable guarantee with respect to each such series.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by each Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities and the resale of the portion of such Trust Preferred Securities that have been designated as trust preferred securities of Series 2 of the Trust, which purchase and resale the Guarantor hereby agrees has benefited and shall benefit the Guarantor, the Guarantor executes and delivers this Guarantee Agreement for the benefit of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

(ii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was made;

(iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and

(iv) no provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall require the Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee Agreement or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

(ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate unless otherwise prescribed herein.

(iv) The Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (or any rerecording, refiling or registration thereof).

(v) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the written advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

(vi) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have provided to the Guarantee Trustee such security and indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and the expenses of the Guarantee Trustee’s agents, nominees or custodians) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided that, nothing contained in this Section 3.02(a)(vi) shall be taken to relieve the Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement.

(vii) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,

statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion and after prior consultation with the Guarantor, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at the expense of the Guarantor and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(viii) The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, nominees, custodians or attorneys, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

No third party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Guarantee Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee’s or its agent’s taking such action.

(x) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in conclusively relying on or acting in accordance with such instructions.

(xi) in no event shall the Guarantee Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Guarantee Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(xii) in no event shall the Guarantee Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God,

and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of third-party utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

(b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

(ii) The Guarantee Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Guarantee Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.01, the Guarantee Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Guarantee Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Guarantee Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Guarantee Trustee in personal liability, against which adequate indemnity, in the opinion of the Guarantee Trustee, has not been provided.

(b) If the Guarantee Trustee fails to enforce its rights under this Guarantee Agreement, any Holder may directly institute a legal proceeding against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee Trustee’s rights under this Guarantee Agreement, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the Guarantee Trustee or any other Person or entity.

(c) A Holder of Trust Preferred Securities may also directly institute a legal proceeding against the Guarantor to enforce such Holder’s right to receive payment under this Guarantee Agreement without first (i) directing the Guarantee Trustee to enforce the terms of this Guarantee Agreement or (ii) instituting a legal proceeding directly against the Issuer or any other Person or entity.

This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

Section 5.06. Subrogation.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders.

Section 5.07. Independent Obligations.

The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.03 hereof.

ARTICLE 6

LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01. Limitation of Transactions.

So long as any Trust Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if there shall have occurred and is continuing any event that would constitute a Default under the Indenture, then (a) the Guarantor and any subsidiary of the Guarantor (other than a subsidiary of the Guarantor that is a depository institution, or a subsidiary thereof) shall not declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Guarantor’s capital stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto (other than (i) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Guarantor in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, (ii) the acquisition by the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in capital stock of the Guarantor for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries), including trustees or custodians, (iii) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock for any other class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into on or prior to the Closing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for capital stock of the Guarantor, (iv) distributions by or among any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, (v) redemptions of securities held by the Guarantor or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, and (vi) unpaid tax distributions to holders of membership interests of GMAC LLC pursuant to Section 4(b) of GMAC LLC’s Plan of Conversion, dated June 30, 2009); and (b) the Guarantor and any subsidiary of the Guarantor (other than a subsidiary of the Guarantor that is a depository institution, or a subsidiary thereof) shall not make any payment of interest on or principal of (or premium, if any, on), or repay, repurchase or redeem, any debt securities or guarantees issued by the Guarantor that rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures (“Junior Subordinated Indebtedness”) (other than (i) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Junior Subordinated Indebtedness in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, (ii) the acquisition by the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Subordinated Indebtedness for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries), including trustees or custodians, (iii) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of Junior Subordinated Indebtedness for any other class or series of Junior Subordinated Indebtedness, (iv) redemptions of securities held by the Guarantor or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor and (v) any payment of interest on Junior Subordinated Indebtedness paid pro rata with interest paid on the Debentures such that the respective amounts of such payments made shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued but unpaid interest per like-amount of Debentures and all Junior Subordinated Indebtedness bear to each other). The restrictions in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) will not apply to (i) any stock dividends paid by the Company where the dividend stock is the same stock as that

on which the dividend is being paid, or (ii) dividends or distributions by or other transactions solely among the Guarantor and any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor or solely among wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Guarantor.

Section 6.02. Subordination.

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement will constitute unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Guarantor to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture with respect to the Debentures, and the provisions of Article 14 of the Indenture will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder do not constitute Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Guarantor.

Section 6.03. Pari Passu Guarantees.

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall rank pari passu with the obligations of the Guarantor under (i) any similar guarantee agreements issued by the Guarantor on behalf of the holders of preferred or capital securities issued by any GMAC Trust (as defined in the Indenture) or any series of any GMAC Trust, (ii) the Indenture and the Securities (as defined therein) issued thereunder, (iii) any expense agreements entered into by the Guarantor in connection with the offering of preferred or capital securities by any GMAC Trust (as defined in the Indenture) or any series of any GMAC Trust, and (iv) any other security, guarantee or other agreement or obligation that is by its terms pari passu with the Securities (as defined in the Indenture) and, in the case of this clause (iv) only, (x) is issued with the concurrence or approval of the staff of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago or the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or (y) does not at the time of issuance prevent the Securities from qualifying for tier 1 capital treatment (irrespective of any limits on the amount of the Guarantor’s tier 1 capital) under the applicable capital adequacy guidelines, regulations, policies or published interpretations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
