CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
1.    Basis of Presentation
 
GMAC LLC was founded in 1919 as a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation (General Motors or GM). On November 30, 2006, GM sold a 51% interest in us (the Sale Transactions) to FIM Holdings LLC (FIM Holdings). FIM Holdings is an investment consortium led by Cerberus FIM Investors, LLC, the sole managing member. The consortium also includes Citigroup Inc., Aozora Bank Ltd., and a subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The terms “GMAC,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to GMAC LLC and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except where it is clear that the terms mean only GMAC LLC.
 
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2008, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
 
The interim-period consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, are condensed and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim reporting. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim-period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 27, 2008.
 
Our funding strategy and liquidity position have been adversely affected by the ongoing stress in the credit markets that began in the middle of 2007 and reached unprecedented levels during recent months. The capital markets remain highly volatile, and our access to liquidity has been significantly reduced. These conditions, in addition to the reduction in our credit ratings, have resulted in increased borrowing costs and our inability to access the unsecured debt markets in a cost-effective manner. Furthermore, we have regular renewals of outstanding bank loans and credit facilities. Although our material committed facilities due to mature in the third quarter were renewed, albeit at revised terms, some facilities have not renewed placing additional pressure on our liquidity position. Our inability to renew the remaining loans and facilities as they mature could have a further negative impact on our liquidity position. We also have significant maturities of unsecured notes each year. In addition, a significant portion of our customers are those of GM, GM dealers, and GM-related employees. As a result, a significant adverse change in GM’s business or financial position could have a an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
 
Our business continues to be affected by these conditions and has led us to take several actions to manage resources during this volatile environment. Certain of these steps have included the following: aligning automotive originations with available committed funding sources in the United States and abroad; streamlining operations to suit the current business plans; growing GMAC Bank within applicable regulatory guidelines; reducing risk in the balance sheet; and divesting select non-core operations. We are also focused on pursuing strategies to increase flexibility and access to liquidity with the primary focus of continuing to support automotive dealers and customers. Ongoing initiatives include participating in the Federal Reserve’s commercial paper purchase program through our asset-backed conduit, New Center Asset Trust (NCAT), and evaluating the use of other government programs, such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the TARP). Furthermore, we are engaging in discussions with federal regulatory authorities regarding bank holding company status. We also may commence a private offer to exchange a significant amount of outstanding indebtedness for a reduced principal amount of new indebtedness. If unanticipated market factors emerge or we are unable to successfully execute some or all of our current plans, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, operations, and/or financial position.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap), our mortgage subsidiary, has been negatively impacted by the events and conditions in the mortgage banking industry and the broader economy. The market deterioration has led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance ResCap’s operations. Most recently, the widely publicized credit defaults and/or acquisitions of large financial institutions in the marketplace has further restricted credit in the United States and international lending markets. ResCap is highly leveraged relative to its cash flow and continues to recognize substantial losses resulting in a significant deterioration in capital. On September 30, 2008, GMAC forgave $197 million of ResCap’s debt owed to GMAC, which resulted in an increase to ResCap’s tangible net worth of the same amount. Accordingly, ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, was $350 million as of September 30, 2008, and remained in compliance with its credit facility financial covenants, among other covenants, requiring it to maintain a monthly consolidated tangible net worth of $250 million. For this purpose, consolidated tangible net worth is defined as ResCap’s consolidated equity, excluding intangible assets and any equity in GMAC Bank to the extent included in ResCap’s consolidated balance sheet. There continues to be a risk that ResCap will not be able to meet its debt service obligations, default on its financial debt covenants due to insufficient capital, and/or be in a negative liquidity position in 2008.
 
ResCap actively manages its liquidity and capital positions and is continually working on initiatives to address its debt covenant compliance and liquidity needs, including debt maturing in the next twelve months and the identified risks and uncertainties. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements continue to reflect ResCap on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
ResCap’s initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: continue to work with all of its key credit providers to optimize all available liquidity options; continued reduction of assets and other restructuring activities; focused production on government and prime conforming products; exploration of strategic alternative such as alliances, joint ventures, and other transactions with third parties; pursuit of possible liquidity and capital benefits from the TARP; and continued exploration of opportunities for funding and capital support from GMAC and its affiliates. Most of these initiatives are outside of ResCap’s control resulting in an increased uncertainty to their successful execution. There are currently no substantive binding contracts, agreements or understandings with respect to any particular transaction outside the normal course of business.
 
ResCap remains heavily dependent on GMAC and its affiliates for funding and capital support and there can be no assurance that GMAC or its affiliates will continue such actions. If additional financing or capital were to be obtained from GMAC, its affiliates, and/or third parties, the terms may contain covenants that restrict ResCap’s freedom to operate its business. Additionally, ResCap’s ability to participate in any governmental investment program or the TARP, either directly or indirectly through GMAC, is unknown at this time.
 
In light of ResCap’s liquidity and capital needs, combined with volatile conditions in the marketplace, there is substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to operate as a going concern. If GMAC no longer continues to support the capital or liquidity needs of ResCap or ResCap is unable to successfully execute its other initiatives, it would have a material adverse effect on ResCap’s business, results of operations, and financial position.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
SFAS No. 157 — On January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value; therefore, it does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance. We adopted SFAS 157 on a prospective basis. SFAS 157 required retrospective adoption of the rescission of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-3, Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities (EITF 02-3), and certain other guidance. The impact of adopting SFAS 157 and the rescission of EITF 02-3 on January 1, 2008, was an increase to beginning retained earnings through a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $23 million, related

to the recognition of day-one gains on purchased mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and certain residential loan commitments. Refer to Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.
 
SFAS No. 158 — In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), which amends SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions; SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits; SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions; and SFAS No. 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (revised 2003). This Statement requires companies to recognize an asset or liability for the overfunded or underfunded status of their benefit plans in their financial statements. The asset or liability is the offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, consisting of previously unrecognized prior service costs and credits, actuarial gains or losses, and accumulated transition obligations and assets. SFAS 158 also requires the measurement date for plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year-end. The standard provides two transition alternatives for companies to make the measurement-date provisions. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we adopted the recognition and disclosure elements of SFAS 158, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, we will adopt the measurement elements of SFAS 158 for the year ending December 31, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of the measurement elements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
SFAS No. 159 — On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are required to be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. We elected to measure at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities, including certain collateralized debt obligations and certain mortgage loans held-for-investment in financing securitization structures. The cumulative effect to beginning retained earnings was a decrease through a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of approximately $178 million on January 1, 2008. Refer to Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.
 
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 39-1 — On January 1, 2008, we adopted FSP FIN 39-1, Amendment of FAS Interpretation No. 39 (FSP FIN 39). FSP FIN 39-1 defines “right of setoff” and specifies what conditions must be met for a derivative contract to qualify for this right of setoff. It also addresses the applicability of a right of setoff to derivative instruments and clarifies the circumstances in which it is appropriate to offset amounts recognized for those instruments in the statement of financial position. In addition, this FSP requires an entity to make an election related to the offsetting of fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) arising from the same master netting arrangement as the derivative instruments without regard to the company’s intent to settle the transactions on a net basis. We have elected to present these items gross; therefore, upon adoption of FSP FIN 39-1, we increased December 31, 2007, other assets and other liabilities equally by approximately $1.2 billion.
 
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 — On January 1, 2008, we adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings (SAB 109). SAB 109 provides the SEC staff’s views on the accounting for written loan commitments recorded at fair value under GAAP and revises and rescinds portions of SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments (SAB 105). SAB 105 provided the views of the SEC staff regarding derivative loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SAB 105 states that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, the staff believed it would be inappropriate to incorporate the expected net

future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and expresses the current view of the SEC staff that, consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and SFAS 159, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that the SEC staff believed that internally developed intangible assets (such as customer relationship intangible assets) should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment. SAB 109 retains that SEC staff view and broadens its application to all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The impact of adopting SAB 109 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
FSP FAS 157-3 — In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market that is not Active (FSP FAS 157-3). This FSP applies to financial assets within the scope of all accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with SFAS 157. This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154). The disclosure provisions of SFAS 154 for a change in accounting estimate are not required for revisions resulting from a change in valuation technique or its application. The impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
SFAS No. 141(R) — In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquiring company recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R), effective for GMAC on January 1, 2009, applies to all transactions or other events in which GMAC obtains control in one or more businesses. Management will assess each transaction on a case-by-case basis as they occur.
 
SFAS No. 160 — In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), which requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. SFAS 160 will be effective for GMAC on January 1, 2009. SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Management is currently assessing the retrospective impacts of adoption and will assess new transactions as they occur.
 
SFAS No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires specific disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will be effective for GMAC on January 1, 2009. Early adoption is permitted. Because SFAS 161 impacts the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for

derivative instruments and related hedged items, the adoption of SFAS 161 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
SFAS No. 162 — In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities (the Hierarchy). The Hierarchy within SFAS 162 is consistent with that previously defined in the AICPA Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SAS 69). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements because we have utilized the guidance within SAS 69.
 
FSP FAS No. 140-3 — In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS No. 140-3), which provides a consistent framework for the evaluation of a transfer of a financial asset and subsequent repurchase agreement entered into with the same counterparty. FSP FAS No. 140-3 provides guidelines that must be met in order for an initial transfer and subsequent repurchase agreement to not be considered linked for evaluation. If the transactions do not meet the specified criteria, they are required to be accounted for as one transaction. This FSP will be effective for GMAC on January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively to initial transfers and repurchase financings for which the initial transfer is executed on or after adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact of adoption.
 
FSP FAS No. 142-3 — In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing a renewal or extension assumptions used for purposes of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is not permitted. We believe the impact of adopting FSP FAS 142-3 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4 — In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (FSP FAS No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4). FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends SFAS 133 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument. This FSP also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Further, this FSP clarifies the Board’s intent about the effective date of SFAS 161. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after November 15, 2008. In addition, this FSP encourages that the amendments be applied in periods earlier than the effective date to facilitate comparisons at initial adoption. Because this impacts the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for credit derivative instruments and other guarantees, the adoption of this FSP will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
EITF Issue No. 08-5 — In September 2008, The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF No. 08-5, Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 states that the issuer of debt with a third-party credit enhancement that is inseparable from the debt instrument shall not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. EITF 08-5 is effective on a prospective basis for periods beginning after December 15, 2008.

4.    Impairment of Investment in Operating Leases
 
We evaluate the carrying value of our operating lease assets and test for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), when events or circumstances necessitate the evaluation. Generally, impairment is determined to exist if the undiscounted expected future cash flows are lower than the carrying value of the asset.
 
In light of recent significant declines in used vehicle prices for trucks in Canada, we concluded a triggering event had occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2008, requiring an evaluation of certain Canadian operating lease assets within our North American Automotive Finance operations for recoverability as of September 30, 2008. We grouped these operating lease assets at the lowest level that we could reasonably estimate the identifiable cash flows. In assessing for recoverability, we compared our estimates of future cash flows related to these lease assets to their corresponding carrying values. We considered all of the expected cash flows, including customer payments, the expected residual value upon remarketing the vehicle at lease termination, and any payments from GM under residual risk sharing agreements. To the extent these undiscounted cash flows were less than their respective carrying values, we discounted the cash flows to arrive at an estimated fair value. As a result of this evaluation, during the three months ended September 30, 2008, we concluded that $604 million of the $8.1 billion total net investment in Canadian operating leases was impaired by a total of $93 million. Therefore, we reduced our carrying value to equal the estimated fair value and recorded an impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2008, for this amount. When combined with a similar impairment charge for the United States and Canada recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008, our North American Automotive Finance operations has realized impairment charges on its investment in operating leases assets of $808 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. No similar impairment charges were realized during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
While we believe our estimates of discounted future cash flows used for the impairment analysis were reasonable based on current market conditions, the process required the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In developing these estimates and assumptions, management used all available evidence.

However, because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing, and likelihood of possible outcomes, actual cash flows could ultimately differ from those estimated as part of the recoverability and impairment analyses.

Estimated fair value at September 30,
    $4,725       $5,547  
(a)     Refer to Note 13 for additional information.
 
As of September 30, 2008, we pledged MSRs of $3.0 billion as collateral for borrowings, compared to $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2007. For a description of MSRs and the related hedging strategy, refer to Notes 9 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Changes in fair value, due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in the valuation models, include all changes due to revaluation by a model or by a benchmarking exercise. Other changes in fair value primarily include the accretion of the present value of the discount related to forecasted cash flows and the economic runoff of the portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments, and the extinguishment of MSRs related to the exercise of clean-up calls of securitization transactions.
 
Key assumptions we use in valuing our MSRs are as follows:
 
             
    September 30,
    2008   2007
 
Range of prepayment speeds
  0.746.5%     0.4–53.6 %
Range of discount rates
  4.831.6%     7.7–13.0 %
 
The primary risk of our servicing rights is interest rate risk and the resulting impact on prepayments. A significant decline in interest rates could lead to higher-than-expected prepayments, which could reduce the value of the MSRs. Historically, we have economically hedged the income statement impact of these risks with both derivative and nonderivative financial instruments. These instruments include interest rate swaps, caps and floors, options to purchase these items, futures, and forward contracts and/or purchasing or selling U.S. Treasury and principal-only securities. At September 30, 2008, the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to mitigate these risks amounted to $369 million. There were no nonderivative instruments used to mitigate these risks at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2007, the fair value of derivative and nonderivative financial instruments used to mitigate these risks amounted to $534 million and $839 million, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative financial instruments amounted to a gain of $493 million and a loss of $58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,

During the third quarter of 2008, ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, fell below $1.0 billion giving Fannie Mae the right to pursue certain remedies under the master agreement and contract between GMAC Mortgage, LLC, its consolidated subsidiary, and Fannie Mae. In light of the decline in ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, Fannie Mae has requested additional security for some of ResCap’s potential obligations under its agreements with them. ResCap has reached an agreement in principle with Fannie Mae, under the terms of which ResCap will provide them additional collateral valued at $200 million, and agree to sell and transfer the servicing on mortgage loans having an unpaid principal balance of approximately $12.7 billion, or approximately 9% of the total principal balance of loans ResCap services for them. Fannie Mae has indicated that in return for these actions, they will agree to forbear, until January 31, 2009, from exercising contractual remedies otherwise available due to the decline in consolidated tangible net worth, as defined. Actions based on these remedies could have included, among other things, reducing ResCap’s ability to sell loans to them, reducing its capacity to service loans for them, or requiring it to transfer servicing of loans ResCap services for them. Management believes that selling the servicing related to the loans described above will have an incremental positive impact on ResCap’s liquidity and overall cost of servicing, since it will no longer be required to advance delinquent payments on those loans. Meeting Fannie Mae’s collateral request will have a negative impact on ResCap’s liquidity. Moreover, if Fannie Mae deems ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, to be inadequate following the expiration of the forbearance period referred to above, and if Fannie Mae then determines to exercise their contractual remedies as described above, it would adversely affect our profitability and financial condition.

9.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
We enter into interest rate and foreign-currency futures, forwards, options, and swaps in connection with our market risk management activities. In accordance with SFAS 133, as amended, we record derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities at fair value. Accounting for changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative financial instrument and whether it is part of a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.
 
Effective May 1, 2007, we designated certain interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of callable fixed-rate debt instruments funding our North American Automotive Finance operations. Prior to May 1, 2007, these

Subsequent to November 28, 2006, U.S. federal, state, and local income tax expense has generally not been incurred by these entities as they ceased to be taxable entities in all but a few local tax jurisdictions that continue to tax LLCs or partnerships. Our banking, insurance, and foreign subsidiaries are generally taxable corporations and continue to be subject to U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes (taxable entities). The income tax expense or benefit related to the taxable entities along with other miscellaneous state, local, and franchise taxes are included in our income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The effective rate of our taxable entities was lower for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. Our consolidated tax expense decreased 44% and 61% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to earnings reductions in both the United States and international automotive finance and mortgage operations.

Included within tax expense were additional valuation allowances in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, of $99 million and $764 million, respectively. These valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets of certain foreign operations, primarily mortgage operations in continental Europe, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. These valuation allowances were established because, based on historical losses and expected future taxable income, it was no longer more-likely-than-not that these net deferred tax assets would be realized.
 
Gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $170 million and $155 million as of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
11.    Share-based Compensation Plans
 
In 2006, the Compensation and Leadership Committee approved the Long-Term Phantom Interest Plan (LTIP) and the Management Profits Interest Plan (MPI). In July 2008, the Compensation and Leadership Committee approved the Long-Term Equity Compensation Incentive Plan (LTECIP) to replace the LTIP and MPI. As such, there will be no further MPI or LTIP awards granted. The LTECIP provides for future grants of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Share Appreciation Rights (SARs). Each of these compensation plans were designed to provide our executives with an opportunity to share in the future growth in value of GMAC, which is necessary to attract and retain key executives. These incentive plans are share-based compensation plans accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)).
 
During the third quarter of 2008, the Compensation and Leadership Committee approved the repurchase of the majority of the MPI equity-based awards from the participants. The MPI awards were held by senior executives throughout GMAC. At the time of the repurchase, only a portion of the awards were vested. The total cash paid for the repurchased MPI awards was $28 million. Total compensation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2008, for the MPI plan was $26 million, which mainly represents the accelerated recognition at the repurchase date of the previously unrecognized compensation expense associated with the repurchase of the nonvested awards as required under SFAS 123(R). Compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $28 million compared to compensation expense of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The MPI repurchase agreements also contain provisions that were designed to enhance GMAC’s ability to retain the senior executives who participated in the repurchase. These provisions could require the executive to return all or a portion of the cash received under the repurchase program and require the executive to comply with certain restrictive covenants. We will continue to recognize an insignificant amount of compensation expense for the awards not repurchased.
 
Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Compensation and Leadership Committee approved an exchange of the majority of outstanding LTIP liability-based awards with RSUs. Based on GMAC’s results and the program requirements for payout, we did not have any compensation expense accrued for the LTIP awards at the time of the exchange. We recognized a reduction of compensation expense for the LTIP awards of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to compensation expense of $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We recognized the reduction of compensation expense due to a decline in the estimated fair value of the liability in the second quarter of 2008, mainly as a result of changes in assumptions due to updated market information obtained during the period, as well as award forfeitures.
 
The RSU awards were granted to participants in terms of basis points in the fair value of GMAC. The majority of awards vest ratably based on continued service over five years beginning on December 31, 2008, and at each of the next four anniversaries thereafter. Certain awards vest over three years beginning on December 31, 2008, and at each of the next two anniversaries thereafter. Annual award payouts are made in the quarter following their vesting and are based on the fair value of GMAC at each year-end as determined by the Compensation and Leadership Committee. Participants have the option at grant date to defer the

valuation and payout for any tranche until the final year of the award. Under SFAS 123(R), the awards require liability treatment and are remeasured quarterly at fair value until they are paid. The compensation costs related to these awards are ratably charged to expense over the five-year or three-year service period, as applicable. We utilize an internal process to estimate the fair value of the RSU awards based on the estimated fair value of GMAC using changes in our performance, market, and industry. Changes in fair value relating to the portion of the awards that have vested and have not been paid are recognized in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. The Compensation and Leadership Committee considered the cash and compensation expense impact of the MPI award repurchase program described above when determining the RSU award pool available for grant. The total RSU awards outstanding at September 30, 2008, represented approximately 198 basis points of fair value in GMAC. We recognized compensation expense of $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, related to the RSU awards granted during the quarter.

(c)     During the first quarter of 2007, under the terms of the Sale Transactions, GM made a capital contribution of $1 billion to GMAC.
 
Retail and Lease Programs
 
GM may elect to sponsor incentive programs (on both retail contracts and operating leases) by supporting financing rates below the standard market rates at which we purchase retail contracts and leases. These marketing incentives are also referred to as rate support or subvention. When GM utilizes these marketing incentives, they pay us the present value of the difference between the customer rate and our standard rate at contract inception, which we defer and recognize as a yield adjustment over the life of the contract.
 
GM may also sponsor residual support programs as a way to lower customer monthly payments. Under residual support programs, the customer’s contractual residual value is adjusted above our standard residual values. Prior to the Sale Transactions, GM reimbursed us at the time of the vehicle’s disposal if remarketing sales proceeds were less than the customer’s contractual residual value limited to our standard residual value. In addition, under risk-sharing programs, GM shares equally in residual losses to the extent that remarketing proceeds are below our standard residual values (limited to a floor).
 
In connection with the Sale Transactions, GM settled its estimated liabilities with respect to residual support and risk sharing on a portion of our operating lease portfolio and on the U.S. balloon retail receivables portfolio in a series of lump-sum payments. A negotiated amount totaling approximately $1.4 billion was agreed to by GM under these leases and balloon contracts and was paid to us in 2006. The payments were recorded as a deferred amount in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As these contracts terminate and the vehicles are sold at auction, any remaining payments are treated as a component of sales proceeds in recognizing the gain or loss on sale of the underlying assets. As of September 30, 2008, the remaining deferred amount was $74 million.
 
In addition, with regard to North American lease originations and balloon retail contract originations occurring in the United States after April 30, 2006, and in Canada after November 30, 2006, that remained with us after the consummation of the Sale Transactions, GM agreed to begin payment of the present value of the expected residual support owed to us at the time of contract origination as opposed to after contract termination at the time of sale of the related vehicle. The residual support amount GM actually owes us is finalized as the leases actually terminate. Under the terms of the residual support program, in cases where the estimate was incorrect, GM may be obligated to pay us, or we may be obligated to reimburse GM. For the

affected contracts originated during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, GM paid or agreed to pay us a total of $123 million and $590 million, respectively.
 
Based on the September 30, 2008, outstanding North American operating lease portfolio, the additional maximum amount that could be paid by GM under the residual support programs is approximately $1.5 billion and would only be paid in the unlikely event that the proceeds from the entire portfolio of lease assets were lower than both the contractual residual value and our standard residual rates.
 
Based on the September 30, 2008, outstanding North American operating lease portfolio, the maximum amount that could be paid under the risk-sharing arrangements is approximately $1.9 billion and would only be paid in the unlikely event that the proceeds from all outstanding lease vehicles were lower than our standard residual rates.
 
Retail and lease contracts acquired by us that included rate and residual subvention from GM, payable directly or indirectly to GM dealers as a percent of total new retail and lease contracts acquired, were as follows:

We have entered into various services agreements with GM that are designed to document and maintain our current and historical relationship. We are required to pay GM fees in connection with certain of these agreements related to our financing of GM consumers and dealers in certain parts of the world.
 
GM also provides payment guarantees on certain commercial assets we have outstanding with certain third-party customers. As of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, commercial obligations guaranteed by GM were $83 million and $107 million, respectively. In addition, we have a consignment arrangement with GM for commercial inventories in Europe. As of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, commercial inventories related to this arrangement were $143 million and $90 million, respectively, and are reflected in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
On June 4, 2008, GMAC entered into a Loan Agreement (ResCap Facility) with Residential Funding Company, LLC (RFC) and GMAC Mortgage, LLC (GMAC Mortgage) (guaranteed by ResCap and certain of its subsidiaries), pursuant to which GMAC provides a senior secured credit facility with a capacity of up to $3.5 billion. In connection with this agreement, GMAC entered into a Participation Agreement (Participation Agreement) with GM and Cerberus ResCap Financing LLC (Cerberus Fund), pursuant to which GMAC sold GM and Cerberus Fund $750 million in subordinated participations (Participations) in the loans made pursuant to the ResCap Facility. GM and Cerberus Fund acquired 49% and 51% of the Participations, respectively.
 
In June 2008, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or its designee(s) (Cerberus) purchased certain assets of ResCap with a carrying value of approximately $479 million for consideration consisting of $230 million in cash and Series B junior preferred membership interests in a newly formed entity, CMH Holdings, LLC (CMH), which is not a subsidiary of ResCap and the managing member of which is an affiliate of Cerberus. CMH purchased model home and lot option assets from ResCap. CMH is consolidated into ResCap, and thus GMAC, under FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as ResCap remains the primary beneficiary. In conjunction with this agreement, Cerberus has entered into both term and revolving loans with CMH. The term loan principal amount is equal to $230 million and the revolving loan maximum amount is


28


Table of Contents

 
GMAC LLC
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
$10 million. The loans will mature on June 30, 2013, and are secured by a pledge of all of the assets of CMH. At September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $125 million, and interest expense was $23 million and $25 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
 
During the second quarter of 2008, Cerberus committed to purchase certain assets at ResCap’s option consisting of performing and nonperforming mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other assets for net cash proceeds of $300 million. During the third quarter, the following transactions were completed with Cerberus:
 
  •   On July 14 and 15, 2008, ResCap, through its consolidated subsidiary GMAC Mortgage, agreed to sell securitized excess servicing on two populations of loans to Cerberus consisting of $13.8 billion in unpaid principal balance of Freddie Mac loans and $24.8 billion in unpaid principal balance of Fannie Mae loans, capturing $591 million and $982 million of notional interest-only securities, respectively. The sales closed on July 30, 2008, with net proceeds of $175 million to ResCap and a loss on sale of $24 million.
 
  •   On September 30, 2008, ResCap completed the sale of certain of its model home assets to MHPool Holdings LLC (MHPool Holdings), an affiliate of Cerberus, for cash consideration consisting of approximately $80 million, subject to certain adjustments, primarily relating to the sales of homes between June 20, 2008, and September 30, 2008, resulting in a net purchase price from MHPool Holdings of approximately $59 million. The loss on sale was $27 million. The purchase price is subject to further post-closing adjustments that are not expected to be material.
 
These transactions entered into between ResCap and Cerberus satisfy the previously announced commitment by Cerberus to purchase assets of $300 million.
 
In addition, Cerberus committed to make firm bids to purchase the auction assets for net cash proceeds of $650 million. ResCap intends, but is not obligated, to undertake an orderly sale of certain of its assets consisting of performing and nonperforming mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in arm’s-length transactions through the retention of nationally recognized brokers.
 
On July 22, 2008, we made a dividend of 100% of the voting interest of GMACI Holdings LLC, the holding company for our Insurance operations, to the current holders of our common membership equity, which include FIM Holdings and subsidiaries of GM. The dividend was made pro rata in accordance with the current common equity ownership percentages held by these entities. We continue to hold 100% of the economic interests and fully consolidate GMACI in accordance with GAAP.
 
13.    Fair Value
 
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)
 
We adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, which provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value; therefore, it does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance.
 
SFAS 157 nullified guidance in EITF 02-3. EITF 02-3 required the deferral of day-one gains on derivative contracts, unless the fair value of the derivative contracts was supported by quoted market prices or similar current market transactions. In accordance with EITF 02-3, we previously deferred day-one gains on purchased MSRs and certain residential loan commitments. When SFAS 157 was adopted on January 1, 2008, the day-one gains previously deferred under EITF 02-3 were recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment that increased beginning retained earnings by $23 million.
 
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 clarifies that


29


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). Additionally, SFAS 157 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability.
 
SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:
 
  Level 1  Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical asset or liabilities as of the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market, and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.
 
  Level 2  Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 3  Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent management’s best assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.
 
Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.
 
Available-for-sale securities — Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, which is primarily based on observable market prices. If observable market prices are not available, our valuations are based on internally developed discounted cash flow models that use a market-based discount rate and consider recent market transactions, experience with similar securities, current business conditions, and analysis of the underlying collateral, as available. In order to estimate cash flows, we are required to utilize various significant assumptions including market observable inputs (e.g., forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (including prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses). We classified 12% of the available-for-sale securities reported at fair value as Level 3. Available-for-sale securities account for 28% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.
 
Trading securities — Trading securities are recorded at fair value and include retained interests in assets sold through off-balance sheet securitizations and purchased securities. The securities may be asset-backed or asset-related asset-backed securities (including senior and subordinated interests), interest-only, principal-only, or residual interests and may be investment grade, noninvestment grade, or unrated securities. We base our valuation of trading securities on observable market prices when available; however, observable market prices are not available for a significant portion of these assets due to illiquidity in the markets. When observable market prices are not available, valuations are primarily based on internally developed discounted cash flow models that use a market-based discount rate. The valuation considers recent market transactions, experience with similar securities, current business conditions, and analysis of the underlying collateral, as available. In order to estimate cash flows, we utilize various significant assumptions including market observable inputs (e.g., forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (e.g., prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses). We classified 79% of the trading securities reported at fair value as Level 3. Trading securities account for 9% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.

Loans held-for-sale — The entire loans held-for-sale portfolio is accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value. Only loans that are currently being carried at fair value are included within the accompanying nonrecurring fair value measurement tables. We classified 49% of the loans held-for-sale reported at fair value as Level 3. Loans held-for-sale account for 21% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.
 
Approximately 19% of the total loans held-for-sale and carried at fair value are automotive loans. We based our valuation of automotive loans held-for-sale on internally developed discounted cash flow models and have classified all these loans as Level 3. These valuation models estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the loan’s principal market, which depending upon characteristics of the loans may be the whole-loan or securitization market. Although we utilize and give priority to market observable inputs, such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, we are typically required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. While numerous controls exist to calibrate, corroborate, and validate these internal inputs, these internal inputs require the use of judgment and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s value. Accordingly, we classified all automotive loans held-for-sale as Level 3.
 
Approximately 60% of the total loans carried at fair value are mortgage loans. We originate or purchase mortgage loans in the United States that we intend to sell to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae (collectively, the Agencies). Additionally, we originate or purchase mortgage loans both domestically and internationally that we intend to sell into the secondary markets via whole-loan sales or securitizations.
 
Mortgage loans held-for-sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility (domestic only), product type, interest rate, and credit quality. Two valuation methodologies are used to determine the fair value of loans held-for-sale. The methodology used depends on the exit market as described below.
 
Loans valued using observable market prices for identical or similar assets — This includes all domestic loans that can be sold to the Agencies, which are valued predominantly by published forward agency prices. This will also include all nonagency domestic loans or international loans where recently negotiated market prices for the loan pool exist with a counterparty (which approximates fair value) or quoted market prices for similar loans are available. As these valuations are derived from quoted market prices, we classify these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures. As of September 30, 2008, 85% of the mortgage loans held-for-sale currently being carried at fair value are classified as Level 2. Due to the current illiquidity of the mortgage market, it may be necessary to look for alternative sources of value, including the whole-loan purchase market for similar loans and place more reliance on the valuations using internal models.
 
Loans valued using internal models — To the extent observable market prices are not available, we will determine the fair value of loans held-for-sale using internally developed valuation models. These valuation models estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the loan’s principal market, which depending upon characteristics of the loan, may be the whole-loan or securitization market. Although we utilize and give priority to market observable inputs such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, we are typically required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. While numerous controls exist to calibrate, corroborate, and validate these internal inputs, these internal inputs require the use of judgment and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. Accordingly, we classify these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. As of September 30, 2008, 15% of the mortgage loans held-for-sale currently being carried at fair value are classified as Level 3.
 
Due to limited sales activity and periodically unobservable prices in certain markets, certain loans held-for-sale may transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 in future periods.

Consumer finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income — Under SFAS 159, we elected the fair value option for certain mortgage loans held-for-investment. The elected loans collateralized on-balance sheet securitization debt in which we estimated credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets that could have, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The elected loans represent a portion of the consumer finance receivable and loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance that was not elected under SFAS 159 was reported on the balance sheet at the principal amount outstanding, net of charge-offs, allowance for loan losses, and net deferred loan fees.
 
The mortgage loans held-for-investment that collateralized securitization debt were legally isolated from us and are beyond the reach of our creditors. The loans are measured at fair value using a portfolio approach or an in-use premise. The objective in fair valuing the loans and related securitization debt is to properly account for our retained economic interest in the securitizations. As a result of reduced liquidity in capital markets, values of both these loans and the securitized bonds are expected to be volatile.
 
Since this approach involves the use of significant unobservable inputs, we classified all the mortgage loans held-for-investment elected under SFAS 159 as Level 3. As of September 30, 2008, 83% of all consumer finance receivables and loans reported at fair value are classified as Level 3. Consumer finance receivables and loans account for 10% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008. Refer to the section within this note titled Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)  for additional information.
 
Investment in operating leases, net — In light of the prevailing market conditions, particularly weakness in the economy and the associated decline in demand for certain used vehicle values, we concluded triggering events occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2008, and the three months ended June 30, 2008, that required an evaluation of certain operating leases held by our North American Automotive Finance operations in accordance with SFAS 144. A $93 million impairment of vehicle operating leases was recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations during the three months ended September 30, 2008, that resulted from a sharp decline in used vehicle prices for trucks in Canada, reducing our expected residual value for these vehicles. When combined with a similar impairment charge recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2008, related to sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada, our North American Automotive Finance operations realized impairment charges on its investment in operating lease assets of $808 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The impaired operating leases were included within the nonrecurring fair value measurement tables. We determined a lease was impaired when the undiscounted expected cash flows was lower than the carrying value of the asset. The fair value of these impaired leases was then measured based upon discounted cash flows. We considered all the discounted expected cash flows when determining the fair value, including customer payments, the expected residual value upon remarketing the vehicle at lease termination, and future payments from GM under residual risk-sharing agreements. Based upon the use of internally developed discounted cash flow models, we classified all the impaired leases as Level 3. Our investment in operating leases accounts for 2% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008. For further details with respect to impaired operating leases, refer to Note 4 — Impairment of Investment in Operating Leases.
 
Mortgage servicing rights — We typically retain MSRs when we sell assets into the secondary market. MSRs do not trade in an active market with observable prices; therefore, we use internally developed discounted cash flow models to estimate the fair value of MSRs. These internal valuation models estimate net cash flows based on internal operating assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants, combined with market-based assumptions for loan prepayment rates, interest rates, and discount rates that we believe approximate yields required by investors in this asset. Cash flows primarily include servicing fees, float income, and late fees, in each case less operating costs to service the loans. The estimated cash flows are discounted using an option-adjusted spread derived discount rate. All MSRs are classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2008. MSRs account for 16% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.

Derivative instruments — We manage risk through our balance of loan production and servicing businesses while using portfolios of financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage risk related specifically to the value of loans held-for-sale, loans held-for-investment, MSRs, foreign currency debt, and off-balance sheet securitizations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded net economic hedge gains of $773 million. Derivatives economically hedging MSRs accounted for 64% of the gains and the remaining 36% primarily of gains on economic hedges for finance receivable and loans, loans held-for-sale, and foreign currency debt.
 
We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of our hedging strategies. Certain of these derivatives are exchange traded, such as Eurodollar futures, or traded within highly active dealer markets, such as agency to-be-announced securities. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, we utilize the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 1. We classified 1% of the derivative assets and 4% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 1 at September 30, 2008.
 
We also execute over-the-counter derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, floors, caps, corridors, and swaptions. We utilize third-party-developed valuation models that are widely accepted in the market to value these over-the-counter derivative contracts. The specific terms of the contract are entered into the model, as well as market observable inputs such as interest rate forward curves and interpolated volatility assumptions. As all significant inputs into these models are market observable, these over-the-counter derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 at September 30, 2008. We classified 76% of the derivative assets and 47% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 2 at September 30, 2008.
 
We also hold certain derivative contracts that are structured specifically to meet a particular hedging objective. These derivative contracts often are utilized to hedge risks inherent within certain on-balance sheet securitizations. In order to hedge risks on particular bond classes or securitization collateral, the derivative’s notional amount is often indexed to the hedged item. As a result, we typically are required to use internally developed prepayment assumptions as an input into the model, in order to forecast future notional amounts on these structured derivative contracts. Accordingly, these derivative contracts were classified as Level 3. We classified 23% of the derivative assets and 49% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 3 at September 30, 2008.
 
SFAS 157 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability. We consider our credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties in the valuation of derivative instruments through a credit valuation adjustment (CVA). The CVA calculation utilizes our credit default swap spreads and the spreads of the counterparty. In situations where our net position with a counterparty is a liability, our credit default spread is used to calculate the required adjustment. In net asset positions, the counterparty’s credit default spread is used.
 
CVA calculations are not utilized when securities are collateralized, when asset-backed securities are in a liability position, or when netting arrangements are in place with our derivative counterparties. Under netting arrangements, cash collateral is required to be posted based upon the net underlying market value of the open positions. The posting of cash collateral typically occurs daily, subject to certain dollar thresholds. As a result, our exposure to credit risk is considered materially mitigated; therefore, we do not adjust these valuations specifically for credit.
 
Derivative assets account for 11% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008. Derivative liabilities account for 39% of all liabilities reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.
 
Repossessed and foreclosed assets — Foreclosed upon or repossessed assets resulting from loan defaults are carried at the lower of either cost or fair value less costs to sell and are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Only assets that are being carried at fair value less costs to sell are included in the fair value disclosures.

The majority of assets acquired due to default are foreclosed assets. We revalue foreclosed assets on a periodic basis. Properties that are valued based upon independent third-party appraisals less costs to sell are classified as Level 2. When third-party appraisals are not obtained, valuations are typically obtained from third-party broker price opinion; however, depending on the circumstances, the property list price or other sales price information may be used in lieu of a broker price opinion. Based on historical experience, these values are adjusted downward to take into account damage and other factors that typically cause the actual liquidation value of foreclosed properties to be less than broker price opinion or other price sources. This valuation adjustment is necessary to ensure the valuation ascribed to these assets considers unique factors and circumstances surrounding the foreclosed asset. As a result of applying internally developed adjustments to the third-party-provided valuation of the foreclosed property, these assets are classified as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. As of September 30, 2008, 38% and 62% of foreclosed and repossessed properties carried at fair value less costs to sell are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. Repossessed and foreclosed assets account for 3% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.
 
Investment in used vehicles held-for-sale — Our investment in used vehicles is carried at the lower of either cost or fair value less costs to sell and is included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Only assets that are being carried at fair value less costs to sell are included in the nonrecurring fair value tables. The prevailing market conditions, primarily weakness in the economy of the United States and Canada, have created a decline in used vehicle prices, which lowered the fair value of certain vehicles below cost, primarily sport-utility vehicles and trucks. The fair value was determined based on our recent remarketing experience related to our investment in used vehicles held-for-sale. We classified all these assets as Level 3. Our investment in used vehicles held-for-sale accounts for less than 1% of all assets reported at fair value at September 30, 2008.
 
On-balance sheet securitization debt — Under SFAS 159, we elected the fair value option for certain mortgage loans held-for-investment and on-balance sheet securitization debt. In particular, we elected the fair value option on securitization debt issued by domestic on-balance sheet securitization vehicles as of January 1, 2008, in which we estimated credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets could have, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The objective in measuring the loans and related securitization debt at fair value was to approximate our retained economic interest and economic exposure to the collateral securing the securitization debt. The remaining on-balance sheet securitization debt that was not elected under SFAS 159 is reported on the balance sheet at cost, net of premiums or discounts and issuance costs.
 
We value securitization debt that was elected pursuant to the fair value option and any economically retained positions using market observables prices whenever possible. The securitization debt is principally in the form of asset- and mortgage-backed securities collateralized by the underlying mortgage loans held-for-investment. Due to the attributes of the underlying collateral and current market conditions, observable prices for these instruments are typically not available in active markets. In these situations, we consider observed transactions as Level 2 inputs in our discounted cash flow models. Additionally, the discounted cash flow models utilize other market observable inputs such as interest rates, and internally derived inputs including prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. Fair value option elected financing securitization debt is classified as Level 3 as a result of the reliance on significant assumptions and estimates for model inputs. On-balance sheet securitization debt accounts for 56% of all liabilities reported at fair value at September 30, 2008. As a result of reduced liquidity in capital markets, values of both the elected loans and the securitized debt are expected to be volatile. Refer to the section within this note Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)  for a complete description of these securitizations.
 
Collateralized Debt Obligations — We elected the fair value option for all collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). CDOs are collateralized by trading securities, which are already carried at fair value. Due to the availability of market information on the CDO collateral, we derive the fair value of CDO debt using the CDO collateral fair value and adjust accordingly for any retained economic positions. While a portion of the CDO

collateral may utilize market observable prices for valuation purposes, the majority of the CDO collateral is valued using valuation models that utilize significant internal inputs. Further, the retained economic positions also use valuation models that utilize significant internal inputs. As a result, CDO debt is classified as Level 3. CDOs account for 4% of all liabilities reported at fair value at September 30, 2008. Refer to the section within this note titled Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) for a complete description of the CDOs.

Nonrecurring Fair Value
 
We may be required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or certain impairment measures under GAAP. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures under SFAS 157.
 
The following table displays the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)
 
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 159, which permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are required to be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
 
We elected to measure at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities held by our ResCap operations including certain collateralized debt obligations and certain mortgage loans held-for-investment and related debt held in financing securitization structures that existed as of adoption. Our intent in electing fair value for these items was to mitigate a divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure for certain assets and liabilities as described in the paragraphs following the table below. The after-tax cumulative effect to retained earnings for these fair value elections was a decrease of $178 million on January 1, 2008.
 
The following table represents the carrying value of the affected instruments before and after the changes in accounting related to the adoption of SFAS 159.

On-balance Sheet Securitizations
 
In prior years, ResCap executed certain domestic securitizations that did not meet sale criteria under SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities (SFAS 140). As part of these domestic on-balance sheet securitizations, we typically retained the economic residual interest in the securitization. The economic residual entitles us to excess cash flows that remain at each distribution date after absorbing any credit losses in the securitization. Because sale treatment was not achieved under SFAS 140, the mortgage loan collateral remained on the balance sheet and was classified as consumer finance receivable and loans, the securitization’s debt was classified as secured debt, and the economic residuals were not carried on the balance sheet. After execution of the securitizations, we were required under GAAP to continue recording an allowance for credit losses on these held-for-investment loans.
 
As a result of market conditions and deteriorating credit performance commencing in 2007, economic exposure on certain of these domestic on-balance sheet securitizations were reduced to zero or approximating zero, thus indicating we expected minimal to no future cash flows to be received on the economic residual. While we no longer were economically exposed to credit losses in the securitizations, we were required to continue recording additional allowance for credit losses on the securitization collateral as credit performance

deteriorated. Further, in accordance with GAAP, we did not record any offsetting reduction in the securitization’s debt balances, even though any nonperformance of the assets will ultimately pass through as a reduction of the amount owed to the debt holders, once they are contractually extinguished. As a result, we were required to record accounting losses beyond our economic exposure.
 
In order to mitigate the divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure, we elected the fair value option for a portion of the domestic on-balance sheet securitizations on January 1, 2008. In particular, we elected the fair value option for domestic on-balance sheet securitization vehicles in which we estimated that the credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets could, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The fair value option election was made at a securitization level; thus the election was made for both the mortgage loans held-for-investment and the related portion of on-balance sheet securitized debt for these particular securitizations.
 
As part of the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159, we removed various items that were previously included in the carrying value of the respective consumer loans and on-balance sheet securitization debt. We removed $489 million of allowance for credit losses and other net deferred and upfront costs included in the carrying value of the fair value-elected loans and debt. The removal of these items, as well as the adjustment required in order to have the item’s carrying value equal fair value at January 1, 2008, resulted in a $3.8 billion decrease recorded to beginning retained earnings for the fair value-elected mortgage loans held-for-investment (of which $556 million was our estimate of the decrease in fair value to credit quality) offset by a $3.6 billion gain related to the elected on-balance sheet securitization debt. These fair value option elections did not have a material impact on our deferred tax balances.
 
Subsequent to the fair value election for loans held-for-investment, we continued to carry the fair value-elected loans within consumer finance receivable and loans, net of unearned income, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We no longer record allowance for credit losses on these fair value-elected loans, and amortization of net deferred costs/fees no longer occurs because the deferred amounts were removed as part of the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159. Our policy is to separately record interest income on the fair value-elected loans unless the loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they are 60 days past due; these amounts continue be classified within consumer financing revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value adjustment recorded for the loans is classified as other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Subsequent to the fair value election for the respective on-balance sheet securitization debt, we no longer amortize upfront transaction costs on the fair value-elected securitization debt since these deferred amounts were removed as part of the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159. The fair value-elected debt balances continue to be recorded as secured debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our policy is to separately record interest expense on the fair value-elected securitization debt, which continues to be classified within interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value adjustment recorded for this fair value-elected debt is classified within other income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Collateralized Debt Obligations
 
Our ResCap operations executed two collateralized debt obligation securitizations in 2004 and 2005 named CDO I and CDO II. Similar to the on-balance sheet securitizations discussed above, we retained certain economic interests in the CDOs that entitled us to the excess cash flows that remain at each distribution date, after absorbing any credit losses in the CDOs. These CDOs were required to be consolidated under FIN 46(R), thus the CDO collateral remained on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as investment securities. Under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the collateral is recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with revaluation adjustments recorded through current period earnings. The fair value adjustments related to investment securities are classified within investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The CDO debt issued to third

parties, which was required to be carried at amortized cost, was classified as secured debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our retained economic interests are not carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Similar to the on-balance sheet securitizations discussed above, we experienced significant devaluation in our retained economic interests in the on-balance sheet CDO transactions during 2007. The devaluation of our retained economic interests was primarily the result of cash flows being contractually diverted away from our retained interest to build cash reserves as a direct result of certain failed securitization triggers and significant illiquidity in the CDO market. While our economic exposure was reduced to approximately zero, as evidenced by our retained economic interest values, we continued writing down the CDO collateral with no offsetting reduction in the associated CDO debt balances. Thus, prior to fair value option election, we were recording accounting losses beyond our economic exposure. In order to mitigate the divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure, we elected the fair value option for the debt balances recorded for CDO I and CDO II on January 1, 2008.
 
As part of the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159, we removed deferred upfront securitization costs related to CDO I and CDO II. The removal of the deferred deal costs, as well as the adjustment required to have the item’s carrying value equal fair value at January 1, 2008, resulted in a net cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings of $35 million. These fair value option elections did not have a material impact on our deferred tax balances.
 
Subsequent to the fair value option election for the CDO debt, we no longer amortize upfront securitization costs for these transactions, as these amounts were removed as part of the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 159. The fair value-elected CDO debt balances continue to be carried within secured debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our policy is to separately record interest expense on the CDO debt, which continues to be classified within interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The fair value adjustment recorded for the CDO debt is classified within investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

Interest income on mortgage loans held-for-investment is measured by multiplying the unpaid principal balance on the loans by the coupon rate and the days interest due. Interest expense on the on-balance sheet securitizations is measured by multiplying bond principal by the coupon rate and days interest due to the investor.

15.    Restructuring Charges
 
On September 3, 2008, ResCap announced additional restructuring initiatives to optimize the mortgage business as the downturn in the credit and mortgage market persist. In response to the conditions, ResCap has enacted a plan to significantly streamline its operations, reduce costs, adjust its lending footprint, and refocus its resources on strategic lending and servicing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, ResCap incurred restructuring charges of $76 million related to this plan.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
Overview
 
GMAC is a leading, independent, globally diversified, financial services firm with approximately $211 billion of assets at September 30, 2008. Founded in 1919 as a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation (General Motors or GM), GMAC was established to provide GM dealers with the automotive financing necessary to acquire and maintain vehicle inventories and to provide retail customers the means by which to finance vehicle purchases through GM dealers. On November 30, 2006, GM sold a 51% interest in us for approximately $7.4 billion (the Sale Transactions) to FIM Holdings LLC (FIM Holdings), an investment consortium led by Cerberus FIM Investors, LLC, the sole managing member. The consortium also includes an affiliate of Citigroup Inc., Aozora Bank Ltd., and a subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
 
Our products and services have expanded beyond automotive financing as we currently operate in the following lines of business — Global Automotive Finance, Mortgage (Residential Capital, LLC or ResCap), and Insurance. The following table summarizes the operating results of each line of business for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Operating results for each of the lines of business are more fully described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) sections that follow.

•     Our Global Automotive Finance operations offer a wide range of financial services and products (directly and indirectly) to retail automotive consumers, automotive dealerships, and other commercial businesses. Our Global Automotive Finance operations consist of two separate reportable segments — North American Automotive Finance operations and International Automotive Finance operations. The products and services offered by our Global Automotive Finance operations include the purchase of retail installment sales contracts and leases, offering of term loans, dealer floor plan financing and other lines of credit to dealers, fleet leasing, and vehicle remarketing services. Whereas most of our operations focus on prime automotive financing to and through GM or GM-affiliated dealers, our Nuvell operations, which is part of our North American Automotive Finance operations, focuses on nonprime automotive financing through GM-affiliated dealers and also provides private-label automotive financing. Our National operations, which is also part of our North American Automotive Finance operations, focuses on prime and nonprime financing through non-GM dealers. In addition, our Global Automotive Finance operations utilize asset securitization and whole-loan sales as a critical component of our diversified funding strategy.
 
In response to the current credit environment and other market conditions, our North American Automotive Finance operations has temporarily implemented a more conservative purchase policy for


48


Table of Contents

consumer automotive financing. Specifically, in the United States we have generally limited purchases to contracts with customers having a credit score of 700 or above, and have restricted contracts with higher advance rates and longer terms. We have also recently increased the rates we charge dealers for nonincentivized consumer automotive financing. These changes in pricing and underwriting are related to the current market environment, which have reduced our access to funding and increased our cost of funds. Additionally, our International Automotive Finance operations recently announced plans to cease retail and wholesale originations in Australia, New Zealand, and retail originations in certain European markets and further plans to implement a more conservative pricing policy throughout remaining European markets to more closely align lending activity with the current capital markets. We expect these actions to remain in place until the credit markets stabilize and accessibility improves. While future market conditions remain uncertain, we expect global automotive financing volume to decrease in the near term as a result of these actions.
 
•     Our ResCap operations engage in the origination, purchase, servicing, sale, and securitization of consumer (i.e., residential) mortgage loans and mortgage-related products (e.g., real estate services). Typically, mortgage loans are originated and sold to investors in the secondary market including securitization transactions in which the assets are legally sold but are accounted for as secured financings. In response to market conditions, ResCap has significantly reduced its production of loans that do not conform to the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. ResCap has further curtailed activities related to both its business capital group, which provides financing and equity capital to residential land developers and homebuilders and its international business group, which includes substantially all of its operations outside of the United States. Certain agreements are in place between ResCap and us that restrict ResCap’s ability to declare dividends or prepay subordinated indebtedness owed to us and inhibit our ability to return funds for dividend and debt payments.
 
•     Our Insurance operations offer vehicle service contracts and underwrite personal automobile insurance coverages (ranging from preferred to nonstandard risks), homeowners’ insurance coverage, and selected commercial insurance and reinsurance coverages in the United States and internationally. We are a leading provider of vehicle service contracts with mechanical breakdown and maintenance coverages. Our vehicle service contracts offer vehicle owners and lessees mechanical repair protection and roadside assistance for new and used vehicles beyond the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. We underwrite and market nonstandard, standard, and preferred-risk physical damage and liability insurance coverages for passenger automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and commercial automobiles through independent agency, direct response, and internet channels. Additionally, we market private-label insurance through a long-term agency relationship with Homesite Insurance, a national provider of home insurance products. We provide commercial insurance, primarily covering dealers’ wholesale vehicle inventory, and reinsurance products. Internationally, our subsidiary ABA Seguros provides certain commercial business insurance exclusively in Mexico.
 
•     Other operations consist of our Commercial Finance Group, certain equity investments, corporate activities, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable segments.

We reported a net loss of $2.5 billion and $5.6 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $1.6 billion for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Results during the three months ended September 30, 2008, were attributable to a significant loss at ResCap, caused by continued adverse conditions in the mortgage business, and increased provision for credit losses related to deterioration in used vehicle prices and weaker consumer and dealer credit performance. Results were also adversely affected by realized losses and valuation adjustments on assets held-for-sale and certain investment securities as a result of illiquidity in the credit and capital markets.
 
Total financing revenue decreased by 14% and 10% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, primarily due to decreases experienced by ResCap as a result of a decrease in the size of the loan portfolio caused by lower levels of loan production as the operations have focused on prime conforming originations, continued portfolio runoff, and reductions caused by the deconsolidation of $27.4 billion in securitization trusts during the second half of 2007. Additionally, our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced decreases in consumer finance

Table of Contents

revenue due to lower interest rates and a lower asset base, as a result of increased securitization and whole-loan sale activity throughout 2007 as the business moved to an originate-to-distribute model during the second half of 2007. The asset base also declined due to declines in new vehicle financing originations, due to tighter underwriting standards and lower industry sales. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in operating lease income of 11% and 22% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The operating lease portfolio and the associated revenue were higher for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to September 30, 2007, primarily due to the continued recovery of the operating lease portfolio from the transfer of approximately $12.6 billion of net operating lease assets to GM during November 2006 as part of the Sale Transactions. Similarly, depreciation expense on operating lease assets increased 11% and 19% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, as a result of the larger portfolio. The increase in operating lease income was partially offset by a significant decrease in volume during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as we increased pricing as a result of the impact of significant reductions of used vehicle prices.
 
Interest expense decreased 22% and 20% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The decrease during both periods was primarily due to lower average borrowings at ResCap due to a $52.2 billion reduction in the asset base, which was partially offset by higher funding rates due to unfavorable market conditions resulting in lower advance rates, and increases in cost of funds on unsecured debt due to the step-up in coupon resulting from rating downgrades.
 
The impairment of vehicle operating lease assets recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, for $93 million and $808 million, respectively, was the result of declining vehicle sales and lower used vehicle prices for certain vehicle segments. The impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2008, was specifically driven by continued weakness in the Canadian used vehicle market, particularly trucks. The impairment recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2008, resulted from a sharp decline in demand and used vehicle sale prices for sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada. No such impairment was recognized during 2007.
 
Net loan servicing income decreased 58% in the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, but increased 23% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease during the three-month period was primarily due to unfavorable mortgage servicing valuations caused by a projected increase in the cost to service assets. Costs were projected to increase due to unfavorable delinquency trends and more severe defaults. During both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced a decrease driven by lower servicing fees collected from GM, as certain operating leases transferred during the Sale Transactions reached the end of their lease term. The overall increase during the nine-month period was primarily driven by favorable hedging activities and mortgage servicing rights valuations at our ResCap operations, compared to the same period in 2007.
 
Insurance premiums and service revenue earned decreased 2% in the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, but increased 4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily due to challenging domestic pricing conditions. The nine-month period increased primarily due to favorable growth in our international operations, both organically and through the acquisition of Provident Insurance in June 2007.
 
The net gain on mortgage and automotive loans was $25 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $320 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and was a net loss of $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net gain of $42 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The losses recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2007, reflect significant declines in the fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale and obligations to fund mortgage loans due to lower investor demand and lack of domestic and foreign market liquidity. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, such fair value adjustments were not as significant compared to 2007. Additionally, losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, were curtailed by focusing loans originations and sales primarily on our prime conforming and government-

sponsored products. The net gain on mortgage and automotive loans declined $1.7 billion during the nine-month period, compared to 2007, primarily due to the sale of certain mortgage loans to enhance liquidity at significantly lower prices due to the absence of traditional investor demand. Additionally, unfavorable pricing on automotive loans and decreased securitization activity impacted our North American Automotive Finance operations.
 
Our investment loss was $216 million and $263 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to investment income of $13 million and $548 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decreases primarily related to extreme market volatility that resulted in unfavorable valuation adjustments, higher realized losses, and impairment charges on certain investments. The valuation adjustments, specifically during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, include declines in the fair value of asset-backed securities and retained interests held by ResCap and our North American Automotive Finance operations as a result of increased credit losses, rating agency downgrades, declines in the value of underlying collateral, market illiquidity, and changes in discount rate assumptions in certain foreign markets.
 
Other income decreased 38% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, and remained stable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease during the three months ended September 30, 2008, was primarily driven by unfavorable valuation adjustments related to assets and liabilities elected to be measured at fair value as of the beginning of 2008 and decreased real estate-related revenue due to the continued stress in the mortgage and capital market and its effect on homebuilders. Other income remained stable during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, because these adverse impacts in 2008 were offset by debt extinguishment gains of $1.2 billion recognized in 2008.
 
The provision for credit losses unfavorably increased 14% and 13% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in the provision during both periods was primarily caused by higher expected residual losses on retail balloon contracts due to deteriorating automotive resale values and how those deteriorating values affected our various GM support agreements. The provision also increased for mortgage loans due to increased frequency and severity of loss in certain international locations. These increases were partially offset by lower loan origination levels and the deconsolidation of various financing securitizations during the second half of 2007, which resulted in a lower expense during 2008, due to a smaller held-for-investment portfolio. Additionally, certain fair value elections were made on January 1, 2008, which resulted in a lower provision expense because these elected assets within the held-for-investment portfolio were no longer subject to an allowance.
 
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased 3% in the three months September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, but increased 11% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to a change in product mix and favorable reserve development within our domestic reinsurance business. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to growth in our international operations, both organically and through the Provident acquisition, and higher spring and summer weather losses in 2008, which adversely affected our dealer inventory insurance and reinsurance operations. The increase for the nine-month period was partially offset by a change in product mix and reserve development within our domestic reinsurance business.
 
Goodwill impairment decreased 96% for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our North American Automotive Finance operations recognized impairment of $14 million and our Commercial Finance Group operations recognized impairment of $2 million, which resulted in a total consolidated impairment of $16 million. As of September 30, 2008, our North American Automotive Finance operations and Commercial Finance Group have no remaining goodwill. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the impairment charge of $455 million related to our ResCap operations.
 
Other operating expense increased 40% and 19% in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. Expenses increased in both periods primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments, higher mortgage representation and warranty expense, higher restructuring costs, higher professional service fees, and greater losses on operating lease disposals, as a result of less favorable remarketing results. Additionally, remarketing costs increased due

to an increase in returned vehicle volume. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, mortgage representation and warranty expenses increased $138 million, restructuring expenses increased $97 million, professional service expenses increased $47 million, and operating lease disposal losses increased $93 million, compared to the same period in 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, mortgage representation and warranty expenses increased $37 million, restructuring expenses increased $181 million, professional service expenses increased $178 million, and operating lease disposal losses increased $223 million, compared to the same period in 2007.
 
Our consolidated tax benefit increased 44% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, and the consolidated tax expense decreased 61% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The changes during both periods were primarily due to earnings reductions in both the auto finance and mortgage operations. Included within tax expense were additional valuation allowances in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, of $99 million and $764 million, respectively. These valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets of certain foreign operations, primarily mortgage operations in continental Europe, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. These valuation allowances were established because, based on historical losses and expected future taxable income, it was no longer more-likely-than-not that these net deferred tax assets would be realized.
 
Effective November 28, 2006, GMAC and certain U.S. subsidiaries became pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subsequent to November 28, 2006, U.S. federal, state, and local income tax expense is generally not incurred by these entities as they ceased to be taxable entities in all but a few local tax jurisdictions that continue to tax LLCs or partnerships. Our banking, insurance, and foreign subsidiaries are generally taxable corporations and continue to be subject to U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes.

Global Automotive Finance operations experienced a net loss of $294 million and $753 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to net income of $554 million and $1.3 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced an increase in credit reserves as a result of continued deterioration in used vehicle prices, which affected certain retail balloon contracts and leases, as well as overall weakness in economic conditions during 2008. Also, results were impacted by an impairment related to vehicle operating lease residual values, weaker consumer and dealer credit performance, and valuation losses on assets held-for-sale and certain investment securities due to weaker economic conditions. Additionally, declines in new vehicle financing originations, due to tighter underwriting standards and lower industry sales, adversely impacted results.
 
Total financing revenue increased 1% and 8% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. Operating lease revenue (along with


54


Table of Contents

the related depreciation expense) increased during both periods due to an increase in the average size of the operating lease portfolio. The operating lease portfolio and the associated revenue were higher for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to September 30, 2007, primarily due to the continued recovery of the operating lease portfolio from the transfer of approximately $12.6 billion of net operating lease assets to GM during November 2006 as part of the Sale Transactions. The increase in operating lease income was partially offset by a significant decrease in volume during the three months ended September 30, 2008, as we increased pricing as a result of the impact of significant reductions of used vehicle prices. Total financing revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, was also impacted by an increase in commercial revenue caused by favorable foreign currency translation adjustments and growth in our International operations, partially offset by decreases due to lower interest rates in the domestic market. The increase in total financing revenue was also partially offset by a decline in consumer revenue during both periods. Consumer revenue, combined with interest income on consumer loans held-for-sale, decreased approximately 12% and 10% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in consumer asset levels. Consumer finance receivables, including loans held-for-sale, declined by $5.1 billion, or approximately 9%, since September 30, 2007. Lower consumer asset levels were the result of increased securitization and whole-loan sale activities during 2007 and the first half of 2008 as the business refocused on an originate-to-distribute model. Asset levels were also adversely impacted by declines in new financing originations during the three months ended September 30, 2008, due to tighter underwriting standards and lower industry sales. The $112 million and $394 million of income on consumer loans held-for-sale for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, related to interest on loans that are expected to be sold in whole-loan and securitization transactions over the next twelve months. In addition to lower consumer asset levels, consumer revenue and the related interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, were adversely impacted by lower domestic interest rates.
 
Interest expense increased 4% and 3% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same period in 2007. The expense increased during both periods primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency movements, increased funding costs related to asset growth in certain international markets, and increased credit spreads.
 
The $93 million and $808 million impairment of vehicle operating lease assets recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, resulted from declines in demand and in used vehicle sale prices for certain portfolio segments, primarily trucks and sport-utility vehicles. The impairment for the three-month period related specifically to additional economic weakness in the Canadian used truck market. The results for the nine months ended September, 30, 2008, also included impairment recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2008, related to declines in demand and used vehicle sale prices in both the United States and Canada.
 
Servicing fees decreased 26% and 29% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. The decreases for both periods were primarily the result of decreases in servicing fees collected from GM, as certain operating leases transferred during the Sale Transactions reached the end of their lease term.
 
Net gains on automotive loans decreased 34% and 59% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The decreases for both periods were primarily the result of current market conditions and unfavorable valuation adjustments related to the loans held-for-sale portfolio of our North American Automotive Finance operations. Results for the nine-month period were further impacted by unfavorable pricing due to deterioration in market conditions and decreased securitization activity. The three months ended September 30, 2008, also experienced fewer securitization activities compared to 2007; however, certain fixed pricing arrangements in previously established flow agreements generated higher gains compared to 2007.
 
Investment income decreased 139% and 60% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The decrease was primarily related to weak economic conditions affecting the performance of the investments, a decrease in the size of the investment portfolio, and a decrease of income on retained interests.
 
Other income increased 25% and 33% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, due to higher interest income on intercompany loans


55


Table of Contents

caused by higher lending levels. The intercompany lending activities represent the activity of our Global Automotive Finance operations before the elimination of balances and transactions with our other reportable segments. Also contributing to the increases were favorable foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
The provision for credit losses was $437 million and $906 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $85 million and $323 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The increases during both periods were primarily driven by expected credit losses related to retail balloon contract loans as demand for used vehicles continued to decrease causing a significant reduction in underlying collateral values and because of weakness in wholesale dealer performance. In addition, both periods experienced increased loss severity due to unfavorable economic conditions.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, goodwill impairment of $14 million for our North American Automotive Finance operations was recognized as a result of our annual assessment. No such impairment was recognized in 2007.
 
Other noninterest expenses increased 28% and 34% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. The expenses increased for both periods primarily due to increased restructuring costs at our North American Automotive Finance operations and greater losses on operating lease disposals as a result of less favorable remarketing experience. Additionally, remarketing costs increased due to an increase in returned vehicle volume.
 
Our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced a tax benefit of $100 million and $53 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $23 million and $122 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The tax benefit during both periods primarily resulted from operating losses, particularly in our foreign operations. Certain of our U.S. subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax expense due to their status as pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our banking and foreign subsidiaries are generally taxable corporations and continue to be subject to U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income tax.

Our consumer automotive financing volume and penetration levels are significantly influenced by the nature, timing, and extent of GM’s use of rate, residual, and other financing incentives for marketing purposes on consumer retail automotive contracts and leases. Despite declining vehicle sales, our total North American penetration levels during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, generally remained


56


Table of Contents

stable due to the increase in the retail penetration levels offsetting against the decrease in the lease penetration levels. The decline in the North American lease penetration level during the three months ended September 30, 2008, was the result of decreased lease volume due to funding volatility in the capital markets combined with significant reductions in values of certain used vehicle prices. The consumer penetration levels of our International operations slightly increased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007, primarily due to increased penetration levels in our Asia Pacific and European operations.

Our wholesale automotive financing continued to be the primary funding source for GM-dealer inventories. Penetration levels in North America continued to reflect traditionally strong levels, despite increased rates charged to dealers during the three months ended September 30, 2008, and the challenging economic environment. The wholesale penetration levels of our International operations decreased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007, primarily due to decreased penetration levels in our European operations.

Increases in the level of allowance from 2007 levels were reflective of unfavorable economic conditions, despite the overall decrease in the size of the on-balance sheet consumer portfolio. The increases in provision and charge-offs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007, were primarily attributable to losses incurred on our North American balloon finance contracts whereby an increasing number of customers are returning vehicles at the end of the term and the vehicles are then sold at auction for significant losses given the decline in prices for certain types of used vehicles. The increased reserves related to our balloon finance contracts were primarily impacted by a decrease in used vehicle prices and how those decreases affected our various GM support agreements. In addition to the overall increase in the level of the allowance, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of the total on-balance sheet consumer portfolio experienced an increase in comparison with 2007. The increased use of off-balance sheet securitizations and whole-loan sales activity within our North American Automotive Finance operations resulted in the sale of contracts of a better credit quality as the process of creating a pool of retail finance receivables for securitization or sale typically excludes accounts that are greater than 30 days delinquent. In addition, the process involves selecting from a pool of receivables that are currently outstanding and thereby represent relatively seasoned accounts. A seasoned portfolio that excludes delinquent accounts historically results in better credit performance than the on-balance sheet portfolio of retail finance receivables on which the allowance for credit losses is based.
 
Consumer Credit
The following tables summarize pertinent loss experience in the consumer managed and on-balance sheet automotive retail contract portfolios. The managed portfolio includes retail receivables held on-balance sheet for investment and off-balance sheet receivables. The off-balance sheet portion of the managed portfolio includes receivables securitized and sold that we continue to service and in which we retain an interest or risk of loss but excludes securitized and sold finance receivables that we continue to service but in which we retain no interest or risk of loss.
 
We believe that the disclosure of the credit experience of the managed portfolio presents a more complete presentation of our risk of loss in the underlying assets (typically in the form of a subordinated retained interest). Consistent with the presentation on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, retail contracts presented in the tables below represent the principal balance of the finance receivables discounted for any unearned interest income and rate support received from GM.

Charge-offs in both the North American and International managed portfolios increased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. In North America, severity of losses increased compared to prior year levels, mainly due to significant reductions in values of used vehicle prices. Increased charge-offs in the International portfolio primarily reflect weakness in Latin America.

Delinquencies in the North American managed portfolio decreased as of September 30, 2008, compared to September 30, 2007. We attribute much of the decrease to a shift in underwriting standards that has occurred since 2007. During the second half of 2006 through the first half of 2007, we underwrote a number of U.S. retail contracts that resulted in an unusually high rate of early payment defaults. When the early

Table of Contents

defaults began, we tightened our underwriting policy to reduce this production. As a result, delinquency rates have improved. The decrease in delinquencies also reflected expanded resources dedicated to servicing and collection efforts. International consumer credit portfolio performance remained strong as delinquencies have declined compared to the prior year level.
 
In addition to the preceding loss and delinquency data, the following tables summarize bankruptcy information for the U.S. consumer automotive retail contract portfolio (which represented approximately 49% and 46% of our on-balance sheet consumer automotive retail contract portfolio as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively) and repossession information for the Global Automotive Finance operations consumer automotive retail contract portfolio:

Bankruptcy filings continued to decrease during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, consistent with decreases experienced throughout the year ended December 31, 2007. The decreases throughout both periods were related to the gradual emergence of consumers who filed bankruptcy in 2005 prior to a change in bankruptcy law that made it more difficult for some consumers to qualify for certain bankruptcy protection. The significant increase of bankruptcy filings prior to the change in law resulted in a situation where the number of contracts emerging from bankruptcy exceeds the number of contracts entering bankruptcy.
 
Consistent with the decrease in delinquency trends, our International operations experienced decreased repossessions for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Our North American Automotive Finance operation, however, experienced increased repossessions primarily attributable to the impact of weak economic conditions on our consumer contracts.

Commercial Credit
The credit risk of our commercial portfolio is tied to overall economic conditions in the countries in which we operate and the particular circumstances of individual borrowers.
 
At September 30, 2008, the commercial receivables that had been securitized and accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions primarily represented wholesale lines of credit extended to automotive dealerships, which historically have experienced low charge-offs, and some dealer term loans. As a result, only the on-balance sheet commercial portfolio credit experience is presented in the following table.

(a)     Includes loans where it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan.
 
Charge-offs on the commercial portfolio remained at traditionally low levels as these receivables were generally secured by vehicles, real estate, and other forms of collateral, which help mitigate losses on the loans in the event of default. Impaired loans increased between December 31, 2007, and September 30, 2008, primarily due to the economic pressures placed on dealers as a result of declining domestic sales volume, declining profitability, and a challenging credit environment.

ResCap experienced a net loss of $1.9 billion and $4.6 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a net loss of $2.3 billion and $3.4 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The 2008 results were adversely affected by continued pressure in the domestic housing markets and the foreign mortgage and capital markets. The adverse conditions resulted in lower net interest margins, high provisions for loan losses, lower loan production, realized losses on sales of mortgage loans, declines in fair value related to mortgage loans held-for-sale and trading securities, and continued real estate investment impairments. As market conditions persist, particularly in the foreign markets, these unfavorable impacts on our results of operations may continue.
 
The net financing loss was $62 million and $163 million for the three months and nine months September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a net financing loss of $61 million and net financing revenue of $168 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decreases in total financing revenue for both periods were due to the decreases in the average mortgage loan and lending receivable asset balances resulting from declines in mortgage production, reductions caused by the deconsolidation of $27.4 billion in securitization trusts in 2007, the sale of ResCap’s resort finance business, and continued portfolio run-off. The decreases were further attributable to an increase in nonaccrual loans caused by higher delinquencies and a decrease in commercial lending yields, primarily as a result of an increase in nonaccrual loans. Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower average borrowings, partially

offset by higher funding rates and increased cost of funds. Funding rates were higher due to unfavorable market conditions generating lower advance rates, and the cost of funds increased on our unsecured debt due to the step-up in coupon caused by rating downgrades. Additionally, during the nine-month period, the cost of funds increased due to refinancing initiatives completed during the second quarter of 2008.
 
Net loan servicing income was $108 million and $1.1 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $328 million and $773 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to negative mortgage servicing valuations as a result of a projected increase in the cost of servicing assets resulting from higher delinquencies and defaults. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, was primarily due to slower prepayment speeds and a steeper overall yield curve during the first quarter of 2008, resulting in a positive impact on hedging activities and a favorable valuation on the mortgage servicing rights.
 
The net loss on mortgage loans was $138 million and $1.9 billion for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $570 million and $631 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The losses in the three months ended September 30, 2008, were primarily the result of the sale of certain mortgage loans and distressed assets to enhance liquidity. Additionally, losses during the three months ended September 30, 2008, were impacted by a decline in the fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale and commitments in certain foreign markets. Losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, were curtailed by focusing loans originations and sales primarily on our prime conforming and government-sponsored products.
 
Other expense was $45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $139 million for the same period in 2007. Other income was $279 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $593 million for the same period in 2007. The favorable decrease in other expense during the three-month period was primarily attributable to smaller losses on investment securities compared to 2007. Additionally, the 2008 results included a $42 million gain on the retirement of ResCap debt during the three months ended September 30, 2008, which resulted from our contribution of ResCap notes that had been previously purchased in open-market repurchase transactions. No such gains were recognized in 2007. These positive factors were offset by decreased real estate-related revenue and unfavorable fair value adjustments related to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), on January 1, 2008. Real estate-related revenue decreased due to the continued stress in the mortgage and capital markets and its affect on homebuilders. This resulted in higher write-downs on lot option projects and model homes, declines in model home lease income and lot option fees, and decreases in equity earnings on real estate projects. In addition to the previously mentioned adverse impacts on the three-month period, the nine-month period was also significantly affected by higher losses on investment securities, primarily due to the decline in the fair value of our mortgage-backed securities and retained interests that continue to be held through off-balance sheet securitization, resulting from increasing credit losses, rating agency downgrades, declines in the value of underlying collateral, market illiquidity, and changes in discount rate assumptions. Additionally, the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, included losses related to the sale of certain servicing advance receivables and an impairment of $255 million related to the held-for-sale treatment of ResCap’s resort finance business. The impairment resulted from a fair value adjustment to the resort finance business due to its held-for-sale classification. These adverse impacts were partially offset by a $1.2 billion gain on the retirement of debt recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
The provision for credit losses decreased 26% and 19% during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The provision decreased during both periods primarily due to the deconsolidation of $27.4 billion of mortgage loans held-for-investment. Additionally, certain fair value elections were made on January 1, 2008, under SFAS 159 that resulted in a lower provision expense because these elected assets were no longer subject to an allowance. These decreases were partially offset by increases attributable to home price depreciation, higher delinquencies, and increased severity and frequency assumptions in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, as well as a higher provision for loan losses and specific reserves on the commercial lending portfolio due to the continued deteriorating market conditions.

Noninterest expense increased 85% and 13% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same period in 2007. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in unrealized and realized currency losses due to the strengthening U.S. dollar and the reduced hedging position caused by the limited availability of willing counterparties to enter into forward arrangements. The increases were also impacted by increased restructuring costs, loan repurchase reserves due to credit deterioration in loans eligible for repurchase and loss severity of repurchased loans, and captive reinsurance reserves, partially offset by lower compensation expense, lower benefit expense, and decreased commissions due to lower loan production.
 
The income tax benefit decreased $116 million and $90 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared the same periods in 2007. The decreases were primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax valuation allowances by the foreign operations offset by significant pretax losses in the foreign operations throughout 2008. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, deferred tax valuation allowances of $99 million and $764 million, respectively, were established. The valuation allowances resulted primarily from further declines in the international markets and the likelihood that these tax benefits will not be realized in future periods.
 
Mortgage Loan Production, Sales and Servicing
ResCap’s mortgage loan production was $11.9 billion and $50.8 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $29.3 billion and $101.7 billion for the same periods in 2007. ResCap’s domestic loan production decreased $9.0 billion, or 44%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and $31.4 billion, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. ResCap’s international loan production decreased $8.4 billion, or 93%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and $19.4 billion, or 83%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007. ResCap’s domestic loan production decreased due to declines in nonprime, prime conforming, prime nonconforming, and prime second-lien products. Prime conforming production decreased due to declining trends in the domestic mortgage origination market and due to current market conditions and tighter credit standards furthered by the closure of retail and wholesale channels. These results were partially offset by increases in government product. International production decreased significantly due to discontinued loan originations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Latin America, and Australia, and on Canadian noninsured loans during the first half of 2008. Currently, ResCap now originates only prime conforming and government mortgages in the United States and high quality insured mortgages in Canada.

Nonperforming Assets
The following table summarizes the unpaid principal balance for nonperforming assets in the on-balance sheet held-for-sale and held-for-investment residential mortgage loan portfolios. Nonperforming assets are nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and restructured loans. Mortgage loans and lending receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are 60 and 90 days past due, respectively, or when the timely collection of the principal of the loan, in whole or in part, is doubtful.

In addition, includes nonaccrual restructured loans that are not included in restructured loans of $127 million as of September 30, 2008; $16 million as of December 31, 2007, and $24 million as of September 30, 2007.

(c)     Includes nonaccrual restructured loans that are not included in restructured loans of $406 million as of September 30, 2007.
 
The classification of a loan as nonperforming does not necessarily indicate that the principal amount of the loan is ultimately uncollectible in whole or in part. In certain cases, borrowers make payments to bring

their loans contractually current, and, in all cases, our mortgage loans are collateralized by residential real estate. As a result, ResCap’s experience has been that any amount of ultimate loss for mortgage loans other than second-lien loans is substantially less than the unpaid principal balance of a nonperforming loan.

(a)     Management uses the combined ratio as a primary measure of underwriting profitability with its components measured using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Underwriting profitability is indicated by a combined ratio under 100% and is calculated as the sum of all incurred losses and expenses (excluding interest and income tax expense) divided by the total of premiums and service revenues earned and other income.
 
Net income from Insurance operations totaled $97 million and $364 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $117 million and $391 million for the same periods in 2007. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008, decreased compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to higher realized investment losses, which were driven by other-than-temporary impairment recognized on certain investment securities, losses on sales of securities to reduce portfolio exposure to the financial services sector, and unfavorable investment market volatility. The decrease was partially offset by a favorable settlement of a prior year tax return. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, decreased compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to an increase in insurance and investment losses, partially offset by a favorable resolution of a tax audit and the favorable settlement of a prior year tax liability.
 
Insurance premiums and service revenue earned decreased 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, but increased 4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Insurance premiums and service revenues earned decreased for the three-month period primarily due to challenging domestic pricing conditions. The nine-month period increased primarily due to favorable growth in our international operations, both organically and through the acquisition of Provident Insurance in June 2007.

The combination of investment and other income decreased 78% and 24% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. Investment income decreased primarily due to actions taken during the three months ended September 30, 2008, to reduce exposure to market volatility, which resulted in realized investment losses of $90 million for the three-month period. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was partially offset by investment income generated from the acquisition of Provident Insurance in June 2007.
 
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $610 million and $1.9 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $659 million and $1.8 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to a change in product mix and favorable reserve development within our domestic reinsurance business. The increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to growth in our international operations, both organically and through the Provident acquisition, and higher spring and summer weather losses in 2008, which adversely affected our dealer inventory insurance and reinsurance operations. The increase for the nine-month period was partially offset by a change in product mix and reserve development within our domestic reinsurance business.
 
Acquisition and underwriting expense totaled $433 million and $1.3 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $466 million and $1.3 billion for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to lower volumes of U.S. business. Activity for the nine-month period remained relatively flat, compared to the same period in 2007.
 
Other Operations
 
Other operations experienced a net loss of $414 million and $574 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a net loss of $6 million and net income of $79 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease for both periods was primarily due to increased interest expense for corporate activities due to increased borrowings, other-than-temporary impairment recognized on certain investment securities due to adverse market conditions, decreased equity investment income, and expenses related to the repurchase of equity-based compensation awards. The three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, also included intercompany eliminations of $19 million and $42 million, respectively, related to the extinguishment of ResCap debt, which are ultimately eliminated in consolidation. We experienced equity investment net losses of $8 million and $46 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to net income of $10 million and $71 million for the same periods in 2007. The losses were primarily attributable to the decline in credit market conditions and unfavorable asset revaluations.
 
Other operations also include the results of our Commercial Finance Group. Our Commercial Finance Group experienced net income of $26 million and $25 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $16 million and $46 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to a $29 million gain recognized during July 2008 related to the sale of operations in Poland, offset partially by increases in factoring customer loss reserves as a result of the current market pressures on retailers. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to increased interest expense, as a result of higher asset levels and higher interest spreads, unfavorable asset valuation adjustments, and increased customer loss reserves, partially offset by the gain recognized for the sale of operations in Poland. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was also impacted by the absence of a $12 million favorable gain impact recognized during February 2007 related to the sale of certain loans.

Funding and Liquidity
 
Funding Strategy
Our liquidity and ongoing profitability are largely dependent upon our timely access to capital and the costs associated with raising funds in different segments of the capital markets. The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet changes in loan and lease demand, debt maturities, and unexpected deposit withdrawals. Our primary funding objective is to ensure that we have adequate, reliable access to liquidity throughout all market cycles, including periods of financial distress.
 
The ongoing stress in the credit markets intensified in the most recent quarter and as a result we have had to realign our priorities regarding our funding strategy. Historically, a key part of our strategy was to regularly access the public markets and to vigilantly manage our funding costs. However, due to market constraints we have had very limited access to public markets financing in 2008 and funding costs have escalated as inter-bank rates and credit spreads have widened. In today’s market, we are managing our liquidity using the following practices:
 
  •     Existing secured funding programs — Over the past several years our strategy has been to maintain a prudent amount of committed credit capacity. Lack of access to the public markets in the current credit environment has resulted in an increased level of utilization across our secured facilities. We maintain access to many of our key secured funding programs beyond 2009, including our whole loan forward flow agreements and our secured revolving credit facility. Also, in September 2008, we extended our funding facility with Citi for one year at $13.8 billion, which includes $3.7 billion that could be made available upon successful syndication of the facility.
 
  •     New secured funding transactions — We continue to actively work on new secured funding transactions in the private market with various lenders both domestically and internationally. These transactions are in various stages of development.
 
  •     GMAC Bank — In July 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) granted a 10-year extension of GMAC Bank’s current ownership structure by extending the existing disposition requirement that was established in connection with the Sale Transactions. As a regulated financial institution, GMAC Bank has access to funding through Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and brokered certificates of deposit. GMAC Bank continues to grow and is becoming a more prominent part of our funding strategy. The deposit base has grown from $12.8 billion at December 31, 2007, to $17.7 billion at September 30, 2008. As a regulated entity, GMAC Bank is subject to significant restrictions on transactions with, or providing any financial support to, any affiliate, including GMAC or any of its subsidiaries.
 
  •     Reduced asset originations — While GMAC Bank is becoming a more prominent source of funding for the Company, we are still heavily reliant on funding from the capital markets as well as our credit providers. Our access to the capital markets has been extremely limited in 2008 compared to past years, and, as a result, we have increased the utilization of our committed credit facilities. Given the constraints on our funding capacity, we have adjusted our loan originations accordingly. In October 2008, we implemented a more conservative purchase policy for consumer auto financing in the United States as a result of the lack of stability in the global capital and credit markets. The changes included limiting purchases to contracts with a credit score of 700 or above. Additionally, we are restricting contracts with higher advance rates and longer terms. Similar actions are being taken internationally.
 
  •     Participation in Governmental Relief Packages —
 
  –     On September 11, 2008, the automotive division of GMAC Bank was granted access to the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window and Term Auction Facility (TAF). The Discount Window is the primary credit facility under which the Federal Reserve extends collateralized loans to depository institutions at terms from overnight up to ninety days. The TAF program auctions a pre-announced quantity of collateralized credit starting with a minimum bid for term funds of 28-day or 84-day maturity. The automotive division of GMAC Bank has pledged $5.2 billion of automotive loans and leasing financings to participate in the Discount Window and TAF program at varying collateral requirements. At September 30, 2008, GMAC Bank had no outstanding borrowings under these programs with unused capacity of $4.1 billion.

  –     We applied, were approved, and began selling asset-backed commercial paper to the Federal Reserve’s Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) that went into effect on October 27, 2008.
 
  –     We are currently in discussions with the Federal Reserve for approval to become a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act. As a bank holding company, we would expect to have expanded opportunities for funding and access to capital. If we submit a formal application and the application is approved, we would become subject to the consolidated supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve and would also be subject to the Federal Reserve’s risk-based and leverage capital requirements and information reporting requirements for bank holding companies. If we were to become a bank holding company, GMAC Bank would continue to be subject to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which currently restrict GMAC Bank’s ability to lend to affiliates, purchase assets from them, or enter into certain other affiliate transactions, including any entity that directly or indirectly controls or is under common control with GMAC Bank.
 
Recent Funding Developments
Our funding strategy and liquidity position have been adversely affected by the ongoing stress in the credit markets that began in the middle of 2007 and reached unprecedented levels during recent months. The capital markets remain highly volatile, and our access to liquidity has been significantly reduced. These conditions, in addition to the reduction in our credit ratings, have resulted in increased borrowing costs and our inability to access the unsecured debt markets in a cost-effective manner. Furthermore, we have regular renewals of outstanding bank loans and credit facilities. Although our material committed facilities due to mature in the third quarter were renewed, albeit at revised terms, some facilities have not renewed placing additional pressure on our liquidity position. Our inability to renew the remaining loans and facilities as they mature could have a further negative impact on our liquidity position. We also have significant maturities of unsecured notes each year. In addition, a significant portion of our customers are those of GM, GM dealers, and GM-related employees. As a result, a significant adverse change in GM’s business or financial position could have an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
 
Our business continues to be affected by these conditions and has led us to take several actions to manage resources during this volatile environment. Certain of these steps have included the following: aligning automotive originations with available committed funding sources in the United States and abroad; streamlining operations to suit the current business plans; growing GMAC Bank within applicable regulatory guidelines; reducing risk in the balance sheet; and divesting select non-core operations. We are also focused on pursuing strategies to increase flexibility and access to liquidity with the primary focus of continuing to support automotive dealers and customers. Ongoing initiatives include participating in the Federal Reserve’s commercial paper purchase program through the company’s asset-backed conduit, New Center Asset Trust (NCAT), and evaluating the use of other government programs, such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Furthermore, we are engaging in discussions with federal regulatory authorities regarding bank holding company status. We also may commence a private offer to exchange a significant amount of outstanding indebtedness for a reduced principal amount of new indebtedness. If unanticipated market factors emerge or GMAC is unable to successfully execute some or all of its current plans, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, operations, and/or financial position.
 
We have recently taken the following additional actions intended to improve liquidity and support the capital structure of ResCap:
 
  •     During the second quarter of 2008, Cerberus committed to purchase certain assets at ResCap’s option consisting of performing and nonperforming mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other assets for net cash proceeds of $300 million. During the third quarter, the following transactions were completed with Cerberus:
 
  –     On July 14 and 15, 2008, ResCap, through its consolidated subsidiary, GMAC Mortgage LLC (GMAC Mortgage), agreed to sell securitized excess servicing on two populations of loans to Cerberus consisting of $13.8 billion in unpaid principal balance of Freddie Mac loans and $24.8 billion in unpaid principal balance of Fannie Mae loans, capturing $591 million and $982 million of notional interest-only securities, respectively. The sales closed on July 30, 2008, with net proceeds of $175 million to ResCap.

  –     On September 30, 2008, ResCap completed the sale of certain of its model home assets to MHPool Holdings LLC (MHPool Holdings), an affiliate of Cerberus, for cash consideration consisting of approximately $80 million, subject to certain adjustments, primarily relating to the sales of homes between June 20, 2008, and September 30, 2008, resulting in a net purchase price from MHPool Holdings of approximately $59 million.
 
  •     On September 30, 2008, we contributed ResCap notes that we had previously purchased in open-market transactions with a face amount of $93 million and a fair value of approximately $51 million. Accordingly, ResCap recorded a capital contribution for our purchase price of $51 million and a gain of $42 million on extinguishment of debt representing the difference between the carrying value and GMAC’s fair market value purchase price. In addition, we forgave $3 million of accrued interest related to these notes increasing the total capital contribution to $54 million.
 
  •     On September 30, 2008, we also forgave debt outstanding of $102 million under the loan and security agreement (the GMAC Secured MSR Facility) with Residential Funding Corporation LLC (RFC) and GMAC Mortgage. The debt forgiveness reduces the overall GMAC Secured MSR Facility indebtedness. This facility was due to mature on October 17, 2008. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the GMAC Secured MSR Facility matured and was renewed to May 1, 2009, with additional amendments to the original terms most notably the advance rates reduced from 85.0% to 76.6% and the reduction of the amount of GMAC’s lending commitment by $84 million as of October 17, 2008, with a subsequent commitment reduction of $84 million effective as of October 22, 2008, and further commitment reductions equal to $102 million representing the outstanding indebtedness forgiven by GMAC on September 30, 2008, as a contribution of capital to ResCap and its subsidiaries.
 
  •     On July 31, 2008, ResCap and GMAC finalized the Resort Finance Sale Agreement pursuant to which GMAC Commercial Finance LLC (GMACCF) acquired 100% of ResCap’s Resort Finance business for a cash purchase price equal to the fair market value of the business. On June 3, 2008, ResCap received an initial deposit of $250 million representing estimated net proceeds related to this transaction. Upon final pricing and execution of the sale, ResCap was required to repay a portion of the initial deposit to GMACCF in the amount of $154 million representing the difference between the deposit it had received and the valuation.
 
  •     Under the Receivables Factoring Facility, GMACCF has purchased an additional $167 million face amount of receivables from ResCap during the three months ended September 30, 2008 ($754 million of purchases since June 17, 2008), with cash proceeds from all the sales to date totaling $641 million. ResCap recorded a cumulative net loss of $113 million related to these transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
  •     On October 31, 2008, the GMAC Board of Directors approved forgiveness of ResCap’s debt related to the GMAC Secured MSR Facility equal to the amount required to maintain a consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, of $350 million as of October 31, 2008. As a result of this debt forgiveness, ResCap will remain in compliance with its credit facility financial covenants as of October 31, 2008, which requires ResCap to maintain a monthly consolidated tangible net worth of $250 million, among other requirements. For this purpose, consolidated tangible net worth is defined as ResCap’s consolidated equity, excluding intangible assets and equity in GMAC Bank to the extent included in ResCap’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
Even with the implementation of the actions described above, ResCap remains heavily dependent on GMAC and its affiliates for funding and there can be no assurance that GMAC or its affiliates will continue such actions.
 
ResCap remains highly leveraged relative to its cash flow and continues to recognize substantial losses resulting in a significant deterioration in capital. During the third quarter of 2008, ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, fell below $1.0 billion giving Fannie Mae the right to pursue certain remedies under the master agreement and contract between GMAC Mortgage, LLC, its consolidated subsidiary, and Fannie Mae. In light of the decline in ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, Fannie Mae has requested additional security for some of ResCap’s potential obligations under its agreements with them. ResCap has reached an agreement in principle with Fannie Mae, under the terms of which ResCap will provide them additional collateral valued at $200 million, and agree to sell and transfer the servicing on


73


Table of Contents

mortgage loans having an unpaid principal balance of approximately $12.7 billion, or approximately 9% of the total principal balance of loans ResCap services for them. Fannie Mae has indicated that in return for these actions, they will agree to forbear, until January 31, 2009, from exercising contractual remedies otherwise available due to the decline in consolidated tangible net worth, as defined. Actions based on these remedies could have included, among other things, reducing ResCap’s ability to sell loans to them, reducing its capacity to service loans for them, or requiring it to transfer servicing of loans ResCap services for them. Management believes that selling the servicing related to the loans described above will have an incremental positive impact on ResCap’s liquidity and overall cost of servicing, since it will no longer be required to advance delinquent payments on those loans. Meeting Fannie Mae’s collateral request will have a negative impact on ResCap’s liquidity. Moreover, if Fannie Mae deems ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, to be inadequate following the expiration of the forbearance period referred to above, and if Fannie Mae then determines to exercise their contractual remedies as described above, it would adversely affect our profitability and financial condition. There continues to be a risk that ResCap will not be able to meet its debt service obligations, default on its financial debt covenants due to insufficient capital, and/or be in a negative liquidity position in 2008. As a result, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue operating as a going concern.
 
ResCap actively manages its liquidity and capital positions and is continually working on initiatives to address its debt covenant compliance and liquidity needs, including debt maturing in the next twelve months and the identified risks and uncertainties. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
ResCap’s initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: continue to work with all of its key credit providers to optimize all available liquidity options; continued reduction of assets and other restructuring activities; focused production on government and prime conforming products; exploration of potential alliances, joint ventures, and other transactions with third parties; pursuit of possible liquidity and capital benefits from the TARP; and continued exploration of opportunities for funding and capital support from GMAC and its affiliates. Most of these initiatives are outside of ResCap control resulting in an increased uncertainty to their successful execution.
 
If additional financing or capital were to be obtained from GMAC, its affiliates, and/or third parties, the terms may contain covenants that restrict ResCap’s freedom to operate its business. Additionally, ResCap’s ability to participate in any governmental investment program or the TARP, either directly or indirectly through GMAC, is unknown at this time.
 
In light of ResCap’s liquidity and capital needs, combined with volatile conditions in the marketplace, there is substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to operate as a going concern. If GMAC no longer continues to support the capital or liquidity needs of ResCap or ResCap is unable to successfully execute its other initiatives, it would have a material adverse effect on ResCap’s business, results of operations, and financial position.
 
GMAC Bank Matters
In connection with the change of control of GMAC Bank that resulted from the Sale Transactions, the FDIC required each of Cerberus FIM, LLC; Cerberus FIM Investors, LLC; and FIM Holdings LLC (collectively, the FIM Entities), to enter into a two-year disposition agreement. That agreement required, among other things, the FIM Entities to complete, by no later than November 30, 2008, one of the following actions: (1) become registered with the appropriate federal banking agency as a depository institution holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act or the Home Owners’ Loan Act; (2) divest control of GMAC Bank to one or more persons or entities other than prohibited transferees; (3) terminate GMAC Bank’s status as an FDIC-insured depository institution; or (4) obtain from the FDIC a waiver of the requirements set forth in this sentence on the ground that applicable law and FDIC policy permit similarly situated companies to acquire control of FDIC-insured industrial banks. On July 15, 2008, the FDIC granted a 10-year extension of the disposition requirement. Pursuant to the extension, the FIM Entities have until November 30, 2018, to complete one of the four actions enumerated above. Certain agreements were entered into in connection with this extension. The agreements included a Parent Company Agreement (the PA) among GMAC, the FIM Entities, IB Finance Holding Company, LLC, GMAC Bank, and the FDIC. The PA requires GMAC to maintain its capital at a level such that the ratio of its total equity to total assets is at least 5%. The PA defines


74


Table of Contents

“total equity” and “total assets” as total equity and total assets, respectively, as reported on our consolidated balance sheet in its quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC. In the event that our ratio of total equity to total assets falls below 5%, the PA requires us to submit a plan to restore compliance. On October 30, 2008, we notified the FDIC that the ratio of our total equity to total assets was 4.38% and that we would submit a plan to restore compliance in accordance with the PA.
 
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $5.4 billion for the same period in 2007. Net cash used by operating activities primarily includes cash used for the origination and purchase of certain mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale and the cash proceeds from the sales of and principal repayments on such loans. Our ability to originate and sell mortgage loans at previously experienced volumes has been hindered by the continued depressed U.S. housing market and certain foreign mortgage and capital markets. These conditions contributed to an increase in net cash flow from operating activities as cash inflows from collections and sales of mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale outpaced cash outflows from origination and purchases of new loans.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.5 billion for the first nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $11.5 billion for the same period in 2007. Considering the impact of sales activity, net cash flows associated with loans and finance receivables held-for-investment decreased approximately $18.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease in cash was partially offset by an increase in cash from proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale investment securities, net of purchases, of $6.1 billion and lower net cash outflows from operating lease activities of $5.2 billion in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period a year ago.
 
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, totaled $18.2 billion, compared to $8.3 billion for the same period in 2007. This change was largely related to lower levels of cash provided from issuing long-term debt and a $7.1 billion increase in net cash outflows to pay down short-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. These decreases in cash from financing activities were partially offset by increases in certificate and brokered deposit balances as part of our diversified funding strategy and lower levels of cash used to pay down long-term debt.

(b)     Excludes fair value adjustment as described in Note 13 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(c)     Includes consumer and commercial bank deposits and dealer wholesale deposits.
 
Short-term Debt
We obtain short-term funding from the sale of floating-rate demand notes under a program referred to as GMAC LLC Demand Notes. These notes can be redeemed at any time at the option of the holder thereof without restriction. Our domestic and international unsecured and secured commercial paper programs also provide short-term funding, as do short-term bank loans. Renewing our short-term debt maturities, particularly unsecured debt, including Demand Notes, has been more challenging this quarter due to the heightened credit market turmoil. Demand Notes outstanding decreased by $1.8 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we had $19.0 billion in short-term debt outstanding, a decline of $14.8 billion from December 31, 2007. Refer to Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our outstanding short-term debt.
 
Long-term Debt
Historically, the unsecured debt markets were a key source of long-term financing for us. However, given our current ratings profile and market environment, we have been unable to access the unsecured debt markets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we did not issue unsecured long-term debt in the capital markets.

Secured Financings and Off-balance Sheet Securitizations
For the first nine months of 2008, more than 97% of our North American Automotive Finance operations volume was funded through secured funding arrangements or automotive whole-loan sales. In the three months ended September 30, 2008, our North American Automotive Finance operations executed approximately $4.0 billion in automotive whole-loan sales and off-balance sheet securitizations. In addition, our North American Automotive Finance operations executed approximately $5.3 billion in secured funding during the quarter. Our International Automotive Finance operations funds approximately 32% of its operations through securitizations and other forms of secured funding.
 
ResCap utilizes committed and uncommitted secured facilities to fund inventories of mortgage loans held-for-investment, mortgage loans held-for-sale, lending receivables, mortgage servicing cash flows, and securities. These facilities provide funding for residential mortgage loans prior to their subsequent sale or securitization. Although unused capacity exists under the secured committed facilities, use of such capacity is conditioned upon certain collateral eligibility requirements and, as a result, access to such capacity under these facilities may be limited. The unused capacity on the committed secured facilities can be utilized only upon pledge of eligible assets that ResCap may not currently have available or the capacity can provide funding for future asset acquisitions. ResCap also utilizes off-balance sheet financings. ResCap’s total off-balance sheet financings outstanding were $127 billion as of September 30, 2008, and $136 billion as of December 31, 2007. A significant portion of off-balance sheet financing relates to securitizations issued in off-balance sheet trusts.
 
As a part of ResCap’s historical capital markets activity, predominantly in its international operations, several of its securitizations have certain servicer obligations contingent on actions by bond holders. These servicer obligations exist in its Dutch, German, and Australian securitization structures. Certain of these obligations provide the investors of the trust with the ability to put back these securities to the trust at a specified date in the future at par less losses previously allocated to the bond classes. ResCap, as servicer of the trust, is obligated to advance the funds required to redeem bond holders. ResCap has the option to purchase loans from the trust at their par value, the proceeds of which then can be used to offset the trust’s obligation to repay the servicer. The specific dates that these options can be exercised range from seven to twelve years from the securitization date. The earliest exercise date for these options is the third quarter of 2009.
 
The total estimated amount of Dutch and German bonds subject to these servicer obligations is approximately $7.6 billion beginning in 2009 through 2019. The estimated obligation considers contractual amortization, prepayments, and defaults among other management assumptions. The portion that is exercisable prior to December 31, 2009 and 2010, is 1.1% of the total and 6.5% of the total, respectively. Approximately 70.3% of the total estimated bonds are eligible for this servicer obligation beginning in 2013 and after.
 
The total estimated amount of Australian bonds subject to these servicer obligations is approximately $88 million, all of which are exercisable in 2011.

The following table summarizes assets that are restricted as collateral for the payment of related debt obligations. These restrictions primarily arise from securitization transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and repurchase agreements. Excluded from the table is $3.3 billion of assets used to support certain global funding facilities. This support has been provided by transferring these assets to a wholly owned subsidiary of GMAC, which then provides a guarantee in favor of lenders under certain funding facilities.

We accept commercial and consumer deposits through GMAC Bank in the United States. As of September 30, 2008, GMAC Bank had approximately $17.7 billion of deposits, compared to $12.8 billion as of December 31, 2007. Deposits are an efficient and cost-effective source of funding for us so we have been offering competitive rates in an effort to increase our deposit levels. We also have banking operations in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, and Poland that fund automotive assets.

Revolving credit facilities — As of December 31, 2007, we had four unsecured syndicated bank facilities totaling approximately $7.8 billion. GMAC had a $3.0 billion 364-day facility maturing in June 2008 and a $3.0 billion five-year term facility maturing June 2012. ResCap had an $875 million 364-day facility maturing June 2008 and an $875 million three-year term facility maturing June 2010. In June 2008, lenders in the GMAC and ResCap unsecured revolving credit facilities were given the option of transferring their existing credit commitments to a new GMAC secured revolving credit facility at a multiple of their existing commitment amount. Of the 38 banks given this option, 30 of them, composing over 90% of the existing commitment amounts, exercised this option. All of the ResCap lenders opted to transfer their commitments, while some GMAC lenders chose not to transfer their commitments; therefore, they remained in the existing GMAC five-year term facility with amended terms and conditions. The remaining commitments total $486 million and are available until June 2012. As of September 30, 2008, the five-year term facility was fully drawn.
 
Bank lines — As of September 30, 2008, we maintained $521 million in committed unsecured bank facilities in Canada and $1.1 billion in International operations, primarily in Europe.
 
Bank term loan — During June 2008, GMAC acquired $1.3 billion of the outstanding $1.8 billion ResCap term loan due to mature on July 28, 2008. This transaction was incorporated into the $3.5 billion senior secured credit facility extended from GMAC to subsidiaries of ResCap and therefore utilizes $1.3 billion of

Global Automotive Finance lines of credit — Our International operations utilize credit lines from local banks and local branches of multinational financial institutions. The lines generally have a documented credit limit to establish total capacity, but lenders are not obligated to fulfill loan requests if there is unutilized capacity. Also, lenders are not obligated to renew outstanding loans when they mature. The outstanding loans under these credit lines tend to be short-term in nature and therefore are renewed throughout the year. These credit lines are typically supported by a parent guarantee from GMAC LLC. As of September 30, 2008, our nonconsolidated Chinese affiliate (GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited) had $1.6 billion of bank line capacity and $1.0 billion outstanding which is not included in the table above.
 
ResCap lines of credit — ResCap’s lines of credit are used for general working capital purposes and have short-term maturities.

(c)     Potential capacity includes undrawn credit commitments that serve as backup liquidity to support our asset-backed commercial paper program (NCAT). There was $9.0 billion and $12.0 billion of potential capacity that was supporting $5.9 billion and $6.9 billion of outstanding NCAT commercial paper as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 respectively. The NCAT commercial paper outstanding is not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(d)     Excludes portion of bilateral secured facility that is available only upon syndication.
 
Syndicated Facilities — These are facilities that include 10 or more banks in the syndicate group. The primary syndicated facilities include the following:
 
  •     NCAT and TACN — New Center Asset Trust (NCAT) is a special-purpose entity administered by us for the purpose of funding assets as part of our securitization funding programs. This entity funds assets primarily through the issuance of asset-backed commercial paper. The total capacity represents credit commitments that serve as backup liquidity to support the outstanding commercial paper. In June 2008, we added a feature to this program that allows us to transfer NCAT credit commitments to another secured facility, Total Asset Collateralized Notes LLC (TACN), which is bank funded. The purpose of this feature is to give us the flexibility to more efficiently utilize our credit commitments and ensure access to liquidity in the event of market disruptions in the asset-backed commercial paper market. At September 30, 2008, NCAT had commercial paper outstanding of $5.9 billion, which is not included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A total of $1.0 billion of NCAT commitments have been transferred to TACN. As of September 30, 2008, there was $655 million outstanding under TACN. Total capacity for NCAT and TACN combined was $10.0 billion as of September 30, 2008.

  •     Secured Revolving Credit Facility — In June 2008, we entered into a new secured revolving credit facility with capacity of $11.4 billion. This facility is secured by U.S. and Canadian automotive finance assets, and the borrowers under the facility are structured as bankruptcy remote special-purpose entities. Capacity under this facility declines to $7.9 billion after two years and ultimately matures in June 2011.
 
This facility includes a leverage ratio covenant that requires our reporting segments, excluding the ResCap reporting segment, to have a ratio of consolidated borrowed funds to consolidated net worth not to exceed 11.0:1. For purposes of this calculation, the numerator is our total debt on a consolidated basis (excluding obligations of bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities), less the total debt of the ResCap reporting segment in our consolidated balance sheet (excluding obligations of bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities). The denominator is our consolidated net worth less ResCap’s consolidated net worth and certain extensions of credit from us to ResCap. As of September 30, 2008, the leverage ratio was 10.0:1. The following table summarizes the calculation of the leverage ratio covenant.

(a)     We remain subject to a leverage ratio as previously calculated prior to the new June 2008 secured revolving credit facility, but on significantly reduced debt balances relative to prior periods. As of September 30, 2008, the leverage ratio as calculated based on the previous methodology was 10.6:1.
 
  •     Variable note funding facility — This facility is available to fund U.S. dealer floor plan receivables at all times, including in the event of GM filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. The facility has two separate maturity dates with $3.0 billion coming due in March 2009 and another $3.0 billion coming due in March 2010.
 
Global Automotive Finance operations secured facilities (North American and International operations) — These are primarily private securitization facilities that permanently fund a specific pool of assets. Many of the facilities are revolving; therefore, they allow for the funding of additional assets during the commitment period, usually 364 days. Internationally, there are also secured bank lines that provided $1.3 billion of total capacity at September 30, 2008.
 
Bilateral secured facility — Effective September 11, 2008, we renewed a funding facility with Citi under which we could have access to funding of up to $13.8 billion for a variety of automotive assets and mortgage assets. The amount available for immediate funding is $10.1 billion, while the additional $3.7 billion would be made available upon successful syndication of the facility. The availability under the facility is now allocated to specific business lines whereas previously the facility had provided more flexibility regarding the allocation of credit capacity. As of September 11, 2008, there was $10.6 billion allocated to fund automotive assets, while Commercial Finance and ResCap had committed credit capacity of $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion respectively.
 
ResCap facilities — In June 2008, ResCap reached agreements to amend substantially all of its secured bilateral facilities (repurchase agreements, facilities for mortgage servicing rights, and others) thus extending the maturities of these facilities from various dates in 2008 to May and June 2009.
 
Prior to June 2008, certain of ResCap’s credit facilities contained a financial covenant, among other covenants, requiring it to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in each respective agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The most restrictive provision in these credit agreements required a minimum tangible net worth of $5.4 billion. After June 2008, and the completion of ResCap’s debt

refinancing, this financial covenant was removed from all agreements that had contained it. ResCap complied with these provisions up to the date it renegotiated its debt obligations.
 
Certain of these renegotiated credit facilities contain financial covenants, among other covenants, requiring ResCap to maintain consolidated tangible net worth of $250 million as of the end of each month and consolidated liquidity of $750 million, subject to applicable grace periods. For these purposes, consolidated tangible net worth means consolidated equity excluding intangible assets and any equity in GMAC Bank to the extent included in ResCap’s consolidated balance sheet, and consolidated liquidity is defined as consolidated cash and cash equivalents excluding cash and cash equivalents of GMAC Bank to the extent included in ResCap’s consolidated balance sheet. These financial covenants are also included in certain of ResCap’s bilateral facilities. In addition, certain of ResCap’s facilities are subject to sequential declines in advance rates if its consolidated tangible net worth falls below $1.5 billion, $1.0 billion, and $0.5 billion, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2008, ResCap held consolidated tangible net worth of $350 million, as defined, and remained in compliance with the most restrictive consolidated tangible net worth covenant minimum of $250 million. In addition, ResCap complied with its consolidated liquidity requirement of $750 million.
 
Repurchase agreements — ResCap has relationships with banks and securities firms to provide funding for mortgage loans and securities through repurchase agreements and other similar arrangements on a domestic and international basis. In June 2008, ResCap closed a new syndicated $2.5 billion whole-loan repurchase agreement to fund domestic conforming collateral. This facility matures in June 2009.
 
RLA and MALA — RLA and MALA facilities were terminated during the second quarter of 2008. Prior to the termination, the decline in borrowings under these facilities reflect ResCap’s decision in 2007 to restrict warehouse-lending activities and nontraditional mortgage originations as well as continuing disruptions in the asset-backed commercial paper market (which made borrowings under this facility less available and more expensive).
 
Other — Other secured facilities include certain facilities to fund mortgage loans prior to their sale or securitization. Internationally, this includes $2.4 billion of liquidity commitments to fund loans in the United Kingdom; $151 million of liquidity commitments to fund loans originated in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain; and a $212 million liquidity commitment to fund loans in Australia. On September 26, 2008, the size of one of the international aggregation facilities in the United Kingdom was reduced to $2.2 billion from $4.3 billion in recognition of reduced funding needs. Domestically, secured facilities to fund mortgage servicing advances had capacity of $700 million as of September 30, 2008.
 
Commercial Finance operations — Maintains conduits to fund trade receivables and includes credit capacity of $1.7 billion under the bilateral secured facility with Citi.
 
Whole-loan forward flow agreements — These represent commitments to purchase U.S. automotive retail assets. One of our long-term strategic financing agreements includes a commitment from a financial institution to purchase up to $10.0 billion of U.S. retail auto finance contracts every year through June 2010. There is $16.0 billion of capacity under this funding arrangement as of September 30, 2008. Our other long-term strategic financing agreement provides funding of up to $4.8 billion through October 2010.
 
The following table shows the current capacity and potential capacity under our secured uncommitted facilities as of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007. Current capacity represents funding capacity that is available upon request as excess collateral resides in certain facilities. The potential capacity on the committed secured facilities can be utilized only upon pledge of eligible assets. The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not legally obligated to advance funds under them.

Federal Reserve Board advances — On September 11, 2008, the automotive division of GMAC Bank was granted access to the TAF. The Discount Window is the primary credit facility under which the Federal Reserve extends collateralized loans to depository institutions at terms from overnight up to ninety days. The TAF program auctions a pre-announced quantity of collateralized credit starting with a minimum bid for term funds of 28-day or 84-day maturity. The automotive division of GMAC Bank has pledged $5.2 billion of automotive loans and leasing financings to participate in the Discount Window and TAF program at varying collateral requirements. At September 30, 2008, GMAC Bank had no outstanding borrowings under these programs with unused capacity of $4.1 billion.
 
FHLB Advances — GMAC Bank has entered into an advances agreement with Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Under the agreement, as of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, GMAC Bank had assets pledged and restricted as collateral totaling $32.9 billion and $28.4 billion, respectively, under the FHLB’s existing blanket lien on all GMAC Bank assets. However, the FHLB will allow GMAC Bank to encumber any assets restricted as collateral not needed to collateralize existing FHLB advances. As of September 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, GMAC Bank had $15.0 billion and $12.8 billion, respectively, of assets pledged under security interest that were not collateralizing FHLB advances and available to be encumbered elsewhere. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the FHLB updated their guidelines used to determine the capacity for the advances agreement. If these guidelines had been in place on September 30, 2008, the total capacity under the advances agreement would have been $10.4 billion versus the $10.8 billion disclosed in the table above.
 
Credit Ratings
The cost and availability of unsecured financing are influenced by credit ratings, which are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security, or obligation. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets. This is particularly true for certain institutional investors whose investment guidelines require investment-grade ratings on term debt and the two highest rating categories for short-term debt (particularly money market investors).

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
We have identified critical accounting estimates that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness, and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows under different conditions or using different assumptions.
 
Our most critical accounting estimates are:
 
  •  Valuation of loans held-for-sale
 
  •  Determination of the allowance for credit losses
 
  •  Valuation of automotive lease residuals
 
  •  Valuation of mortgage servicing rights
 
  •  Valuation of interests in securitized assets
 
  •  Determination of reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses
 
Change in Accounting Principle
 
On January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 157 applies to assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not required to be measured at fair value under GAAP. If an entity elects fair value for a particular financial instrument under SFAS 159, the fair value measurement is within scope of the measurement and disclosure requirements of SFAS 157.
 
We follow the fair value hierarchy set forth in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in order to prioritize the data utilized to measure fair value. We strive to obtain quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs). If Level 1 inputs are not available, we attempt to obtain Level 2 inputs, observable market prices in inactive markets, or we derive the fair value measurement using observable market prices for similar assets or liabilities. When neither Level 1 nor Level 2 inputs are available, we use Level 3 inputs to estimate fair value measurements. The Level 3 inputs are based on, but not limited to, internal valuation models and management’s assumptions related to the type of instrument, the contractual terms of the instrument, and the level of liquidity for the instrument within the market.
 
We review and modify, as necessary, our fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. As such, there may be reclassifications between hierarchy levels.
 
At September 30, 2008, approximately 14% of total assets, or $29.0 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Approximately 51% of the assets reported at fair value were valued using Level 3 inputs. At September 30, 2008, approximately 2% of total liabilities, or $4.1 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Approximately 80% of the liabilities reported at fair value were valued using Level 3 inputs. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for descriptions of valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.
 
Due to the nature of ResCap’s mortgage banking operations, a large percentage of our fair value assets and liabilities are Level 3. These mortgage banking operations can be broadly described as follows:
 
  •  ResCap enters into interest rate lock commitments with borrowers or mortgage purchase commitments with correspondent lenders and other sellers. These commitments typically are considered derivative instruments under GAAP and are accounted for at fair value. Because of the underlying attributes of these mortgage loan commitments and because they do not trade in any market, these derivatives typically are Level 3 items.
 
  •  ResCap funds or purchases mortgage loans. We have not elected fair value for our mortgage loans held-for-sale portfolio. Rather, these loans are accounted for at lower of cost or fair value under GAAP.


86


Table of Contents

  The loans are valued differently depending on the underlying characteristics of the loan. Generally speaking, loans that will be sold to agencies and international loans where recently negotiated market prices for the pool exist with a counterparty are Level 2, while domestic loans that cannot be sold to agencies and delinquent loans are Level 3 due to lack of observable market prices.
 
  •  ResCap ultimately sells its mortgage loans included in the held-for-sale portfolio, either to the agencies, to whole-loan purchasers, or securitization structures. When we sell loans, we typically will retain servicing rights. We have opted to carry our servicing rights at fair value under SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. Further, when the loans are sold into off-balance sheet securitizations, we often retain residual interests and/or certain classes of bonds. These retained bonds may include interest-only strips, principal-only securities, or principal and interest-paying bonds (typically the subordinated bonds), all of which are carried at fair value within investment securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the lack of observable market prices or data, our servicing rights and retained residual interests typically are Level 3 items.
 
  •  ResCap has previously executed securitizations that have not qualified for sale treatment under SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The collateral in these securitizations are classified as consumer finance receivables and loans and the related debt is recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have elected fair value for both the collateral and debt in certain of these securitizations. Due to the characteristics of the underlying loan collateral (nonprime and home equities), the collateral and debt are both classified as Level 3. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the fair value election.
 
We also have certain operations outside our mortgage banking activities that result in our holding Level 3 assets and liabilities. These include on-balance sheet collateralized debt obligation transactions, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and other financial instruments.
 
Due to the amount of our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in market prices. While we execute various hedging strategies to mitigate our exposure to changes in fair value, we cannot fully eliminate our exposure to volatility caused by fluctuations in market prices. Beginning in 2007 and continuing into 2008, the global credit markets have experienced severe dislocation. Market demand for asset-backed securities, particularly those backed by mortgage assets, has significantly contracted and in many markets has virtually disappeared. Further, market demand for whole-loan purchases has also contracted. These unprecedented market conditions have adversely impacted us and our competitors. As these market conditions continue, our assets and liabilities are subject to valuation adjustment and changes in the inputs we utilize to measure fair value.
 
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain recurring changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities have been included in our financial results. As a result of further deterioration in the mortgage market and underlying collateral valuations, we experienced declines in the fair value of our mortgage loans held-for-sale, resulting in significant valuation losses materially impacting our financial results. At the same time, our mortgage loans held-for-investment, which are classified as consumer finance receivables and loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and debt held in our on-balance sheet securitizations, in which we elected the fair value option under SFAS 159, experienced offsetting valuation declines. As the mortgage loan held-for-investment asset declines in value, resulting in losses, the securitized debt declines, resulting in offsetting valuation gains. For the nine months ended, we have additional increases in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and associated hedging derivatives primarily due to slower prepayment speeds enhancing the value of our mortgage servicing rights and a steeper overall yield curve in the first quarter of 2008, resulting in a positive impact of our hedging activity, and favorable valuation of our mortgage servicing right and derivative assets, partially offset by a projected increase in the cost of servicing that resulted from expected higher delinquencies and loan defaults. The decrease in the fair value of trading securities for the three and nine months ended were substantially attributable to the decline in the fair value of residual interests that continue to be held by us through our off-balance sheet securitizations, resulting from increasing credit losses, rating agency downgrades, declines in value of underlying collateral, market illiquidity, and changes in discount rate assumptions in certain foreign markets.


87


Table of Contents

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain nonrecurring changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities have been included in our financial results. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, a $93 million impairment of vehicle operating leases was recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations that resulted from a sharp decline in used vehicle prices for trucks in Canada, reducing our expected residual value for these vehicles. When combined with a similar impairment charge recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2008, related to sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada, our North American Automotive Finance operations realized impairment charges on its investment in operating lease assets of $808 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These declines in used vehicle prices are also reflected in the lower of cost of fair value adjustments related to our investment in used vehicles held-for-sale.
 
We have numerous internal controls in place to ensure the appropriateness of fair value measurements. Significant fair value measures are subject to detailed analytics and management review and approval. We have an established model validation policy and program in place that covers all models used to generate fair value measurements. This model validation program ensures a controlled environment is used for the development, implementation, and use of the models and change procedures. Further, this program uses a risk-based approach to select models to be reviewed and validated by an independent internal risk group to ensure the models are consistent with their intended use, the logic within the models is reliable, and the inputs and outputs from these models are appropriate. Additionally, a wide array of operational controls is in place to ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable, including controls over the inputs into, and the outputs from, the fair value measurement models. For example, we backtest the internal assumptions used within models against actual performance. We also monitor the market for recent trades, market surveys, or other market information that may be used to benchmark model inputs or outputs. Certain valuations will also be benchmarked to market indices when appropriate and available. We have scheduled model and/or input recalibrations that occur on a periodic basis but will recalibrate earlier if significant variances are observed as part of the backtesting or benchmarking noted above.
 
Considerable judgment is used in forming conclusions from market observable data used to estimate our Level 2 fair value measurements and in estimating inputs to our internal valuation models used to estimate our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant affect on fair value measurements. Accordingly, our estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
 
Besides elections made under SFAS 159, there have been no significant changes in the methodologies and processes used in developing these estimates from what was described in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and GMAC’s and Residential Capital LLC’s (ResCap) actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q. Such factors include, among others, the following: securing low cost funding for GMAC and ResCap; maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between GMAC and GM; our ability to maintain an appropriate level of debt; the profitability and financial condition of GM; restrictions on ResCap’s ability to pay dividends to us; recent developments in the residential mortgage and capital markets; continued deterioration in the residual value of off-lease vehicles; the impact on ResCap of the continuing decline in the U.S. housing market; changes in U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or disruptions in the markets in which our mortgage subsidiaries operate; disruptions in the markets in which we fund GMAC’s and ResCap’s operations, with resulting negative impact on our liquidity; uncertainty concerning our ability to access federal liquidity programs; changes in our contractual servicing rights; costs and risks associated with litigation; changes in our accounting assumptions that may require or that result from changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result in an impact on earnings; changes in the credit ratings of ResCap, GMAC, or GM; changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rate, or political stability in the markets in which we operate; and changes in the existing or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies, or other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Our automotive financing, mortgage, and insurance activities give rise to market risk, representing the potential loss in the fair value of assets or liabilities caused by movements in market variables, such as interest rates, foreign-exchange rates, and equity prices. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates related to financing, investing, and cash management activities. More specifically, we have entered into contracts to provide financing, to retain mortgage servicing rights, and to retain various assets related to securitization activities all of which are exposed in varying degrees to changes in value due to movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the mismatch between assets and the related liabilities used for funding. We enter into various financial instruments, including derivatives, to maintain the desired level of exposure to the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Refer to Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
 
We are exposed to foreign-currency risk arising from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign-exchange rates will affect future earnings or asset and liability values related to our global operations. Our most significant foreign-currency exposures relate to the Euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and Australian dollar.
 
We are also exposed to equity price risk, primarily in our Insurance operations, which invests in equity securities that are subject to price risk influenced by capital market movements. Our equity securities are considered investments, and we do not enter into derivatives to modify the risks associated with our Insurance operations’ investment portfolio.
 
While the diversity of activities from our complementary lines of business may partially mitigate market risk, we also actively manage this risk. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate, foreign-currency exchange rate, equity price risks, and any of their related hedge positions. Positions are monitored using a variety of analytical techniques including market value, sensitivity analysis, and value at risk models.
 
Since December 31, 2007, there have been no material changes in these market risks. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for further discussion on value at risk and sensitivity analysis.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of our management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our evaluation, GMAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2008.
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within GMAC have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Risks Related to Our Business
Our business and the businesses of our subsidiaries, including ResCap, require substantial capital, and continued disruption in our funding sources and access to the capital markets could continue to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
 
Our liquidity and ongoing profitability are, in large part, dependent upon our timely access to capital and the costs associated with raising funds in different segments of the capital markets. We depend and will continue to depend on our ability to access diversified funding alternatives to meet future cash flow requirements and to continue to fund our operations. Our funding strategy and liquidity position have been significantly adversely affected by the ongoing stress in the credit markets that began in the middle of 2007 and reached unprecedented levels during recent months. The capital markets remain highly volatile, and access to liquidity has been significantly reduced. These conditions, in addition to the reduction in our credit ratings, have resulted in increased borrowing costs and our inability to access the unsecured debt markets in a cost-effective manner. This has resulted in an increased reliance on asset-backed and other secured sources of funding. Some of these facilities have not renewed placing additional pressure on our liquidity position. Our inability to renew the remaining loans and facilities as they mature could have a further negative impact on our liquidity position. We also have significant maturities of unsecured notes each year. In order to retire these instruments, we either will need to refinance this debt or generate sufficient cash to retire the debt.
 
In addition, continued or further negative events specific to us or our 49% owner and largest customer, GM, could further adversely impact our funding sources. Furthermore, we have recently provided a significant amount of funding to ResCap and may provide additional funding to ResCap in the future; as a result, any negative events with respect to ResCap could serve as a drain on our financial resources and have an adverse effect on our liquidity and consolidated financial position. We have not made, and are not making, any commitment to continue to fund ResCap or to forgive ResCap debt and are not subject to any contractual obligation to do so.
 
ResCap’s liquidity has been significantly impaired, and may be further impaired, due to circumstances beyond our control, such as adverse changes in the economy and general market conditions. Continued deterioration in our business performance could further limit, and recent reductions in ResCap’s credit ratings have limited, its ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms. During recent volatile times in the capital and secondary markets, especially since August 2007, access to aggregation and other forms of financing, as well as access to securitization and secondary markets for the sale of ResCap’s loans, has been severely constricted. Furthermore, our access to capital has been impacted by changes in the market value of our mortgage products and the willingness of market participants to provide liquidity for such products.

Table of Contents

 
The profitability and financial condition of our operations are heavily dependent upon the operations of GM.
 
A significant portion of our customers are those of GM, GM dealers, and GM-related employees. As a result, a significant adverse change in GM’s business, including significant adverse changes in GM’s liquidity position and access to the capital markets, the production or sale of GM vehicles, the quality or resale value of GM vehicles, the use of GM marketing incentives, GM’s relationships with its key suppliers, GM’s relationship with the United Auto Workers and other labor unions, and other factors impacting GM or its employees could have a significantly adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
 
We provide vehicle financing through purchases of retail automotive and lease contracts with retail customers of primarily GM dealers. We also finance the purchase of new and used vehicles by GM dealers through wholesale financing, extend other financing to GM dealers, provide fleet financing for GM dealers to buy vehicles they rent or lease to others, provide wholesale vehicle inventory insurance to GM dealers, provide automotive extended service contracts through GM dealers, and offer other services to GM dealers. In 2007, our shares of GM retail sales and sales to dealers were 35% and 82%, respectively, in markets where GM operates. As a result, GM’s level of automobile production and sales directly impacts our financing and leasing volume, the premium revenue for wholesale vehicle inventory insurance, the volume of automotive extended service contracts, and the profitability and financial condition of the GM dealers to whom we provide wholesale financing, term loans, and fleet financing. In addition, the quality of GM vehicles affects our obligations under automotive extended service contracts relating to such vehicles. Further, the resale value of GM vehicles, which may be impacted by various factors relating to GM’s business such as brand image or the number of new GM vehicles produced, affects the remarketing proceeds we receive upon the sale of repossessed vehicles and off-lease vehicles at lease termination.
 
The occurrence of recent adverse developments in the mortgage finance and credit markets has adversely affected ResCap’s business, liquidity and capital position and has raised substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
ResCap has been negatively impacted by the events and conditions in the broader mortgage banking industry, most severely but not limited to the nonprime and nonconforming mortgage loan markets. Fair market valuations of mortgage loans held-for-sale, mortgage servicing rights, securitized interests that continue to be held by ResCap and other assets and liabilities it records at fair value have significantly deteriorated due to weakening housing prices, increasing rates of delinquencies and defaults of mortgage loans. These same deteriorating factors have also resulted in higher provision for loan losses on ResCap’s mortgage loans held-for-investment and real estate lending portfolios. The market deterioration has resulted in rating agency downgrades of asset- and mortgage-backed securities which in turn has led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance ResCap’s operations. Most recently, the widely publicized credit defaults and/or acquisitions of large financial institutions in the marketplace has further restricted credit in the United States and international lending markets. ResCap is highly leveraged relative to its cash flow and continues to recognize substantial losses resulting in a significant deterioration in capital. Furthermore, in light of the decline in ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, Fannie Mae has requested additional security for some of ResCap’s potential obligations under its agreements with them. ResCap has reached an agreement in principle with Fannie Mae, under the terms of which ResCap will provide them additional collateral valued at $200 million, and agree to sell and transfer the servicing on mortgage loans having an unpaid principal balance of approximately $12.7 billion, or approximately 9% of the total principal balance of loans ResCap services for them. Fannie Mae has indicated that in return for these actions, they will agree to forbear, until January 31, 2009, from exercising contractual remedies otherwise available due to the decline in consolidated tangible net worth, as defined. Actions based on these remedies could have included, among other things, reducing ResCap’s ability to sell loans to them, reducing its capacity to service loans for them, or requiring it to transfer servicing of loans ResCap services for them. Management believes that selling the servicing related to the loans described above will have an incremental positive impact on ResCap’s liquidity and overall cost of servicing, since it will no longer be required to advance delinquent payments on those loans. Meeting Fannie Mae’s collateral request will have a negative impact on ResCap’s liquidity. Moreover, if Fannie Mae deems ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, to be inadequate following the expiration of the forbearance period referred to above, and if Fannie Mae then determines to exercise their contractual remedies as described above, it would adversely affect our profitability

and financial condition. There continues to be a risk that ResCap will not be able to meet its debt service obligations, default on its financial debt covenants due to insufficient capital and/or be in a negative liquidity position in 2008. Additionally, ResCap’s ability to participate in any governmental investment program or the TARP, either directly or indirectly through GMAC, is unknown at this time. In light of ResCap’s liquidity and capital needs, combined with volatile conditions in the marketplace, there is substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to continue as a going concern. If unanticipated market factors emerge and/or GMAC no longer continues to support ResCap’s capital or liquidity needs, or ResCap is unable to successfully execute its other initiatives, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
 
Our profitability and financial condition has been materially adversely affected by declines in the residual value of off-lease vehicles, and the residual value of off-lease vehicles may continue to decrease.
 
Our expectation of the residual value of a vehicle subject to an automotive lease contract is a critical element used to determine the amount of the lease payments under the contract at the time the customer enters into it. As a result, to the extent the actual residual value of the vehicle, as reflected in the sales proceeds received upon remarketing at lease termination, is less than the expected residual value for the vehicle at lease inception, we incur additional depreciation expense and/or a loss on the lease transaction. General economic conditions, the supply of off-lease vehicles, and new vehicle market prices heavily influence used vehicle prices and thus the actual residual value of off-lease vehicles. Also contributing to the weakness in the used vehicle market are the historically low consumer confidence levels, which influence major purchases, and the weakening financial condition of auto dealers. The recent sharp decline in demand and used vehicle sale prices for sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada has affected GMAC’s remarketing proceeds for these vehicles, and has resulted in impairments of $716 million and $93 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively. Weak residual values also contributed to the loss provision of $109 million and $240 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively, on our balloon finance contract portfolio.
 
These trends may continue or worsen. GM’s brand image, consumer preference for GM products, and GM’s marketing programs that influence the new and used vehicle market for GM vehicles also influence lease residual values. In addition, our ability to efficiently process and effectively market off-lease vehicles impacts the disposal costs and proceeds realized from the vehicle sales. While GM provides support for lease residual values, including through residual support programs, this support by GM does not in all cases entitle us to full reimbursement for the difference between the remarketing sales proceeds for off-lease vehicles and the residual value specified in the lease contract. Differences between the actual residual values realized on leased vehicles and our expectations of such values at contract inception could continue to have a negative impact on our profitability and financial condition.
 
General business and economic conditions may significantly and adversely affect our revenues, profitability, and financial condition.
 
Our business and earnings are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and in the markets in which we operate outside the United States. A downturn in economic conditions resulting in increased short- and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in the debt capital markets, unemployment rates, consumer and commercial bankruptcy filings, or a decline in the strength of national and local economies and other factors that negatively impact household incomes could decrease demand for our financing and mortgage products and increase mortgage and financing delinquency and losses on our customer and dealer financing operations. We have been negatively impacted due to (i) the significant stress in the residential real estate and related capital markets in 2007 and 2008, and, in particular, the lack of home price appreciation in many markets in which we lend and (ii) decreases in new and used vehicle purchases, which have reduced the demand for automotive retail and wholesale financing.
 
If the rate of inflation were to increase, or if the debt capital markets or the economies of the United States or our markets outside the United States were to continue in their current condition or further weaken, or if home prices or new and used vehicle purchases continue at the currently reduced levels or experience further declines, we could continue to be adversely affected, and it could become more expensive for us to conduct our business. For example, business and economic conditions that negatively impact household incomes or housing prices could continue in their current condition or further decrease (i) the demand for our

mortgage loans and new and used vehicle financing and (ii) the value of the collateral underlying our portfolio of mortgage and new and used vehicle loans held for investment and interests that continue to be held by us, and further increase the number of consumers who become delinquent or default on their loans. In addition, the rate of delinquencies, foreclosures, and losses on our loans (especially our nonprime mortgage loans) as experienced recently could be higher during more severe economic slowdowns.
 
Any sustained period of increased delinquencies, foreclosures, or losses could further harm our ability to sell our mortgage and new and used vehicle loans, the prices we receive for our mortgage and new and used vehicle loans, or the value of our portfolio of mortgage and new and used vehicle loans held for investment or interests from our securitizations, which could harm our revenues, profitability, and financial condition. Continued adverse business and economic conditions could, and in the near term likely will, further impact demand for housing, new and used vehicles, the cost of construction, and other related factors that have harmed, and could continue to harm, the revenues and profitability of our business capital operations.
 
In addition, our business and earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. government and its agencies and similar governmental authorities in the markets in which we operate outside the United States. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. The Federal Reserve’s policies influence the new and used vehicle financing market and the size of the mortgage origination market, which significantly impacts the earnings of our businesses and the earnings of our business capital activities. The Federal Reserve’s policies also influence the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest bearing liabilities. Changes in those policies are beyond our control and difficult to predict, and could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and financial condition.
 
Risks Related to Our Becoming a Bank Holding Company
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by new regulations to which we may become subject as a result of becoming a bank holding company, by new regulations or by changes in other regulations or the application thereof.
 
We are currently in discussions with the Federal Reserve regarding becoming a bank holding company under the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Any application may not ultimately be approved. If we submit a formal application and it is approved, we expect to be able to continue to engage in most of the activities in which we currently engage. However, it is possible that certain of our existing activities will not be deemed to be permissible under applicable regulations if our application is successful. In addition, if we successfully convert into a bank holding company, we will be subject to the comprehensive, consolidated supervision of the Federal Reserve, including risk-based and leverage capital requirements and information reporting requirements. This regulatory oversight is established to protect depositors, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not security holders.
 
The financial services industry, in general, is heavily regulated. Proposals for legislation further regulating the financial services industry are continually being introduced in the United States Congress and in state legislatures. The agencies regulating the financial services industry also periodically adopt changes to their regulations. In light of current conditions in the U.S. financial markets and economy, regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. For instance, in October 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which in turn created the TARP and the CPP. We are unable to predict how these programs will be implemented or in what form or whether any additional or similar changes to statutes or regulations, including the interpretation or implementation thereof, will occur in the future. Any such action could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are also affected by the policies adopted by regulatory authorities and bodies of the United States and other governments. For example, the actions of the Federal Reserve and international central banking authorities directly impact our cost of funds for lending, capital raising, and investment activities and may impact the value of financial instruments we hold. In addition, such changes in monetary policy may affect the credit quality of our customers. Changes in domestic and international monetary policy are beyond our control and difficult to predict.

2.1   Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to motivate certain employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to put forth maximum efforts toward the growth, profitability, and success of the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing incentives to such employees through payments that are aligned to the ownership interests of the Company.

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded “employee benefit plan” (as such term is defined and used under ERISA) which is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of ERISA, and thus the Plan is intended to be treated as and subject to the “top-hat” plan requirements under ERISA.
 
2.3   Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to be a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” as such term is defined and used under Code Section 409A, and thus the Plan is intended to be fully subject to and fully compliant with Code Section 409A.
 
3.0   TERM OF PLAN; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

3.2   Termination of Plan. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that no action authorized by this Section 3.2 shall reduce the amount of any outstanding Award or otherwise adversely change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s prior written consent.

-6-


 

3.3   Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend the Plan at any time with or without prior notice; provided, however, that no action authorized by this Section 3.3 shall reduce the amount of any outstanding Award or otherwise adversely change the terms and conditions thereof without the Participant’s prior written consent.
 
3.4   Amendment or Cancellation of Award Letters. The Committee may amend or modify any Award Letter at any time; provided, however, that if the amendment or modification adversely affects the Participant, such amendment or modification shall be by mutual agreement between the Committee and the Participant or such other persons as may then have an interest therein.
 
3.5   Restrictions to Amendment of Plan. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, any amendment to the Plan or to any Award Letter that would result in compensation payable under the Plan to be subject to the penalty tax imposed by Code Section 409A shall be null and void and of no effect as if the Plan had never been amended.

4.1   Responsibility. The Committee shall have the responsibility, in its sole discretion, to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.

In addition, the Committee, or any person to whom it has delegated duties under this Section 4.5, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent.

The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the bps subject to each Award. Notwithstanding the Committee’s authority to determine Participants and Awards, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall have the authority to grant RSUs to any Participants who do not receive SARs Awards. The Chief Executive Officer shall present the RSU Participants and Award bps to the Committee from time to time or upon the Committee’s request, so that the Committee may determine whether it has any objection to such compensation for these Participants.

In addition, for the purpose of preventing any dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to adjust, in an equitable manner, the bps available for grant or granted under the Plan, as well as the Strike Price of outstanding SARs or any other affected term.

On or after an IPO, Participants who hold RSUs shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents to the same extent and in the same manner as equity holders of the Company’s common stock, if and when such holders receive dividends under such common stock. The Dividend Equivalent shall be subject to the same Vesting schedule and forfeiture rules applicable to the related RSU Award.

9.3   Confidentiality. While the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, and at all times thereafter, a Participant shall not disclose to anyone or make use of any trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of the Company, including such trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of any customer or client or other entity to which the Company owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which he or she acquires during his or her employment with the Company, including but not limited to records kept in the ordinary course of business, except:
  (a)   as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with his or her work as an employee of the Company; or

-10-

  (d)   to the Participant’s spouse, attorney, and/or his or her personal tax and financial advisors as reasonably necessary or appropriate to advance the Participant’s tax, financial and other personal planning (each an “Exempt Person”), provided, however, that any disclosure or use of any trade secret or proprietary or confidential information of the Company by an Exempt Person shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 9.3 by the Participant.
9.4   Non-Disparagement.

9.5   Enforcement of Section 9. If a Participant materially violates any provision of this Section 9, he or she shall immediately forfeit any right, title and interest to any Award that has not yet been paid.

9.6   Enforcement of Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Covenants. If a Participant violates or threatens to violate any provisions of this Section 9, the Company shall not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief, without the posting of a bond, as may be available to restrain the Participant and any business, firm, partnership, individual, corporation or entity participating in the breach or threatened breach from the violation of the provisions of this Section 9. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available at law or in equity for breach or threatened breach of this Section 9, including the recovery of damages. If the Company is successful in enforcing its rights under this provision, the affected Participant shall reimburse the Company for its legal fees and costs associated with such enforcement action.

10.7   Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Letter or take such unilateral action so that all or a portion of the Awards will be Paid if a Participant has an Unforeseeable Emergency, provided that such Payment fully complies with Code Section 409A.

If any Participant or Beneficiary, or his or her legal representative, has a claim for benefits under the Plan which is not being paid, such claimant may file a written claim with the Committee setting forth the amount and nature of the claim, supporting facts, and the claimant’s address. Written notice of the disposition of a claim by the Committee shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the claim is filed. In the event of special circumstances, the Committee may extend the period for determination for up to an additional 90 days, in which case it shall so advise the claimant. If the claim is denied, the reasons for the denial shall be specifically set forth in writing, pertinent provisions of the Plan shall be cited, including an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure, and, if the claim is perfectible, an explanation as to how the claimant can perfect the claim shall be provided.

-12-


 

12.2   Golden Parachute Excise Tax Reduction. If a Participant becomes subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 (the “Parachute Excise Tax”), then the Company and the Participant agree that the aggregate “parachute payment” (as such term is used under Code Section 280G) shall be reduced to 299.99% of the Participant’s “base amount” (as such term is used under Code Section 280G). If such reduction occurs under this Section 12.2, the Participant may select in his or her own discretion what portion of the parachute payments will be so reduced.
 
12.3   Code Section 409A. The Plan is subject to Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have full authority to operate the Plan and to override or amend any provision in the Plan or any Award Letter in order for the Plan to be fully compliant — both in form and in operation — with Code Section 409A.
 
12.4   No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and any Subsidiary and their directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts payable or provided under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.
 
13.0   MISCELLANEOUS
 
13.1   Listing of Awards and Related Matters. If at any time the Committee shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of Awards with respect to any Award on any securities exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of an Award, such Award may not be exercised, distributed or paid out, as the case may be, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
 
13.2   No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan.
 
13.3   Nontransferability. Awards granted under the Plan, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
 
13.4   Voting and Distribution Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to any voting rights, distributions or any other rights or privileges of an equity holder as a result of the grant of an Award.
 
13.5   No Right to Continued Employment or Service or to Grants. The Participant’s rights, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any Subsidiary as an officer, employee, or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant under the Plan, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary reserves the right to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time. The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to give any Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.

-13-


 

13.6   Awards Subject to Foreign Laws. The Committee may grant Awards to individual Participants who are subject to the tax and/or other laws of nations other than the United States, and such Awards may have terms and conditions as determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws. The Committee may take any action that it deems advisable to obtain approval of such Awards by the appropriate foreign governmental entity; provided, however, that no such Awards may be granted pursuant to this Section 13.4 and no action may be taken which would result in a violation of the Exchange Act or any other applicable law.
 
13.7   Governing Law. The Plan, all Awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law.

     7. Indemnification and Contribution. Notwithstanding Section 4 hereof, In the event that the Purchaser sells the SCs within six months after the Closing Date and, in connection with such resale, uses a copy of the Covered Documents as originally provided, as amended or supplemented by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b) (it being understood and

agreed that the Company is not obligated to provide any updated information with regard to the matters discussed in the Covered Documents):
     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred directly in connection with resales where the Purchaser complied with the representations, warranties and agreements in Section 3(b) (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) herein (provided that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have violated any such representation, warranty or agreement as a result of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact in the Covered Documents) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Covered Documents as of the Closing Date or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein as of the Closing Date a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made on the Closing Date, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon Purchaser Information; and provided, however, that such indemnity with respect to the Covered Documents shall not inure to the benefit of the Purchaser (or any person controlling the Purchaser) to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability of the Purchaser results from the fact that the Purchaser sold SCs to a person to whom there was not sent or given at or prior to the settlement date of the sale of such SCs a copy of the final Covered Documents (as amended or supplemented through such date in any case where the Company has previously furnished the Purchaser with copies thereof on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding such settlement date), in any case where the untrue statement or omission of a material fact which caused such loss, claim, damage or liability was contained in such Covered Documents and was corrected in the Covered Documents (as amended or supplemented), and provided, further, that neither the Company nor you will be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the information contained in the Covered Documents.
     (b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, their respective directors or officers and any person controlling the Company to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 7(a) above from the Company to you for breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser made in Section 3(b).
     (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). Subject to the third preceding sentence, the indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate counsel satisfactory to the indemnifying party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding, effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.
     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or Section 7(b) hereof or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the offering of the SCs but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     (e) The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses pursuant to Section 7(d); which
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that the indemnifying party believes that it will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, or the officers of any of the Company and the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser or on behalf of the Purchaser or any person controlling the Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company and their respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the SCs.
     9. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Purchaser, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Cerberus International, Ltd. c/o Premier Fund Services Limited, First Commercial Centre, Second Floor, Suite No. 2, East Mall Drive, P.O.

     10. Nonassignability. The rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the parties hereto.
     11. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and (subject to Section 10 hereof) assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
     12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Re:
  Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates, Series 256
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as special counsel to GMAC Mortgage, LLC (the “Seller”) in connection with the sale of the original notional principal balance of certain Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates, Series 256 (the “Purchaser SCs”) to Cerberus International, Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated July 30, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
     The Purchaser SCs are being issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by Purchase Agreement and this letter is delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of such records, documents and other instruments as in our judgment were necessary or appropriate, including an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement.
     As to facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon certificates of public officials or certificates or opinions of officers or other representatives of the Seller. We have also relied upon the representations and warranties set forth in, or made pursuant to, the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we have made such investigations of such matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. Further, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of the document submitted to us as an original and the conformity with the original document of all documents submitted to us as copies.
     On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, it is our opinion that:
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-1-2


 

1. The Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.
2. The execution and delivery by the Seller of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions therein contemplated do not result in the violation of any provisions of the Applicable Laws. As used in this opinion, the term “Applicable Laws” means those state laws of the State of New York that, in our experience and without independent investigation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; provided that the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include state securities or blue sky laws or any rules or regulations thereunder and any antifraud or similar laws.
     The foregoing opinions and other statements are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
     A. Members of our firm are admitted to the bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinions are limited to matters arising under the laws of the State of New York as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction or as to the municipal laws or the laws, rules or regulations of any local agencies or governmental authorities of or within the State of New York, or in each case as to any matters arising thereunder or relating thereto. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you or any other person of any development or circumstance or any kind including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter, even in such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, conclusion or any matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter.
     B. Our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief. In addition, we advise you that rights to indemnification may be limited by applicable law or public policy.
     C. With respect to the Purchase Agreement being executed or to be executed by any party, except with respect to the Seller, we have assumed, to the extent relevant to the opinions set forth herein, that (i) such party has been duly organized and is existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) such party has full rights, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement to which it is a party and such Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and, is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement or obligation, as the case may be, of, such party.
     This letter is solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction described in the first paragraph above and may not be quoted or relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to,

any other person, nor may this letter be relied upon by you for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

Re: Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates,
      Series 256
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am internal counsel employed by Residential Funding Company, LLC, and have acted as counsel to GMAC Mortgage, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and successor by merger to GMAC Mortgage Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), and have advised the Company with respect to certain matters in connection with the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
     I have examined, or caused to be examined, originals, or a copy certified to my satisfaction, of the Purchase Agreement and such other documents, certificates and instruments which I have deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with this opinion. As to matters of fact, I have examined and relied without independent verification upon representations, warranties and covenants of parties to the above documents contained therein and, where I have deemed appropriate, representations or certifications of officers of parties to the Purchase Agreement or public officials. In rendering this opinion letter, I have assumed with your permission and without independent verification, (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, (ii) with respect to parties other than the Company, the due authorization, execution and delivery of such documents, and the necessary entity power with respect thereto, and with respect to all parties, the enforceability of such documents and (iii) that there is not and will not be any other oral or written agreement, usage of trade, or course of dealing among the parties that modifies or supplements the agreements expressed in the Purchase Agreement.
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-2-2


 

     Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     Based upon the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations herein expressed, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly formed, is validly existing as a limited liability company and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
2. The Company has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
3. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;
4. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental authority which, if adversely determined, would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
5. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any state or federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made; and
6. The Company is not in violation of any of its limited liability company organizational documents, and neither the execution or delivery of or performance by the Company under the Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation by the Company of any other of the transactions contemplated therein, will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the passing of time or notification, or both, would constitute a default) under, any of the limited liability company organizational documents of the Company, or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, or any state or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company or any order of any state or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:
(a)   I am admitted to practice in the State of Texas and the District of Columbia, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas and the District of Columbia and the Federal laws of the United States of America. However, insofar as the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 above relate to matters that are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, I am generally familiar with the laws of the State of Delaware as they relate to the organization and governance of limited liability companies, and I do not feel it necessary to consult with Delaware counsel. I do not express any opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or any other matter not specifically addressed above.
(b)   The opinions expressed above do not address any of the following legal issues: (i) Federal securities laws and regulations administered by the Securities and Exchange
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-2-3


 

    Commission, state “Blue Sky” laws and regulations, and laws and regulations relating to commodity (and other) futures and indices and other similar instruments, (ii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations (e.g., ERISA), (iii) Federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, (iv) Federal and state laws and regulations concerning filing and notice requirements (e.g., Hart-Scott-Rodino and Exon-Florio), (v) the statutes and ordinances, administrative decisions and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the Federal, state or regional level) and judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with the foregoing, (vi) Federal and state tax laws and regulations, (vii) Federal and state racketeering laws and regulations (e.g., RICO), (viii) Federal and state labor laws and regulations, (ix) Federal and state bank regulatory laws, (x) Federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning (1) national and local emergency, (2) possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states, and (3) criminal and civil forfeiture laws, and (xi) other Federal and state statutes of general application to the extent they provide for criminal prosecution (e.g., mail fraud and wire fraud statutes).
(c)   In rendering the opinions above, I have only considered the applicability of statutes, rules, and regulations that a lawyer in the State of Texas and the District of Columbia exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Company, to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or both.
     The opinions set forth herein are intended solely for the benefit of the addressee hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and shall not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without my prior written consent.
     Except for reproductions for inclusion in transcripts of the documentation relating to the transactions contemplated herein, this opinion may not be copied or otherwise reproduced or quoted from, in whole or in part, without my prior written consent.
     This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed and is limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date of this opinion.

EXCLUDED INFORMATION
(ATTACHED HERETO)
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

     Modeling Assumptions
     To prepare the yield table below, we have employed the following assumptions (the “Modeling Assumptions”), among others:
    As of July 1, 2008, each Mortgage represented in the related Mortgage Group has an Excess Yield Rate, interest rate, remaining term to maturity and loan age equal to the weighted average Excess Yield Rate, interest rate, remaining term to maturity and loan age for that Mortgage Group shown in the table on page S-7.
 
    The Class Coupons for the WAC/IO SCs remain constant at their initial Class Coupons.
 
    Payments on the Classes are always received on the 15th of the month, whether or not a Business Day.
 
    Each Class is outstanding from the Closing Date to retirement and no exchanges occur.
 
    The Classes are purchased at the prices listed in the table, plus accrued interest from the first day of the month of the Closing Date.
     When reading the table and the related text, you should bear in mind that the Modeling Assumptions, like any other stated assumptions, are unlikely to be entirely consistent with actual experience. For example, most of the Mortgages will not have the characteristics assumed, the Class Coupons for the WAC/IO SC Classes will vary over time and many Payment Dates will occur on a Business Day after the 15th of the month.
Yield Table
     The following table shows, at various percentages of CPR, pre-tax yields to maturity (corporate bond equivalent) of each Class. We have prepared this table using the Modeling Assumptions and the assumed prices shown in the table, plus accrued interest from July 1, 2008. Actual sales may not occur at the assumed prices.
     The Mortgages will have characteristics that are more diverse than those assumed, and Mortgage prepayment rates will differ from the constant rates shown. These differences will affect the actual payment behavior and yields of the Classes. In the case of the WAC/IO Classes, disproportionately fast prepayments on the related Mortgages with relatively higher Excess Yield Rates would increase the likelihood of a reduced or negative yield.

The SCs will be issued by Freddie Mac (the “Issuer”) pursuant to the Pass-Through Certificates Master Trust Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2007 (the “Master Trust Agreement”), as supplemented by the Terms Supplement, dated as of July 15, 2008 (the “Terms Supplement”, and together with the Master Trust Agreement, the “Trust Agreement”) and will represent ownership interests in excess servicing fees attributable to certain first lien, single-family, fixed rate conventional mortgage loans currently serviced by the Company on behalf of the Issuer and recharacterized as excess yield pursuant to the Master Agreement #MA08021951, dated as of March 18, 2008 (which includes a provision titled “Release of Excess Yield to Seller”), together with a supplementary Term Sheet with respect to the excess yield relating to the SCs (together, the “Master Agreement”). The SCs will be sold to the Company by the Issuer pursuant to an agreement to purchase excess yield between the Issuer and the Company, dated as of July 25, 2008 (the “Agreement to Purchase Excess Yield”). This Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), the related Agreement to Purchase Excess Yield Agreement and the related Master Agreement are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.” The SCs will be issued in the minimum denominations and will have the terms set forth in the offering circular dated December 31, 2007 (the “Offering Circular”) and the related offering circular supplement dated July 15, 2008 (the “Offering Circular Supplement”).

     “The information is provided solely by [such Purchaser], not as agent for any issuer, and although it may be based on data supplied to it by an issuer, the issuer has not participated in its preparation and makes no representations regarding its accuracy or completeness.”
     (xi) It shall not disseminate, through any medium including its website, any such statistical or other information which is based on the notional principal balances of any SCs (or the scheduled balances of any Mortgage Loans) reflected in any SC Trust Factors (as that term is defined in the Offering Documents) until after Freddie Mac has published such SC Trust Factors or otherwise made them available.
     (xii) The Company did not participate in the preparation of the Purchaser Information.

          (b) The Company has delivered to the Purchaser a copy of the Covered Documents. The Company may amend or supplement the Covered Documents at any time, but is under no obligation to do so.

          The Company will furnish you with conformed copies of the above opinions, certificates and documents as you reasonably request.
          7. Indemnification and Contribution. Notwithstanding Section 4 hereof, In the event that the Purchaser sells the SCs within six months after the Closing Date and, in connection with such resale, uses a copy of the Covered Documents as originally provided, as amended or supplemented by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b) (it being understood and agreed that the Company is not obligated to provide any updated information with regard to the matters discussed in the Covered Documents):
          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred directly in connection with resales where the Purchaser complied with the representations, warranties and agreements in Section 3(b) (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) herein (provided that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have violated any such representation, warranty or agreement as a result of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact in the Covered Documents) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Covered Documents as of the Closing Date or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein as of the Closing Date a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made on the Closing Date, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon Purchaser Information; and provided, however, that such indemnity with respect to the Covered Documents shall not inure to the benefit of the Purchaser (or any person controlling the Purchaser) to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability of the Purchaser results from the fact that the Purchaser sold SCs to a person to whom there was not sent or given at or prior to the settlement date of the sale of such SCs a copy of the final Covered Documents (as amended or supplemented through such date in any case where the Company has previously furnished the Purchaser with copies thereof on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding such settlement date), in any case where the untrue statement or omission of a material fact which caused such loss, claim, damage or liability was contained in such Covered Documents and was corrected in the Covered Documents (as amended or supplemented), and provided, further, that neither the Company nor you will be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the information contained in the Covered Documents.
          (b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, their respective directors or officers and any person controlling the Company to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 7(a) above from the Company to you for breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser made in Section 3(b).
          (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). Subject to the third preceding sentence, the indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate counsel satisfactory to the indemnifying party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding, effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.
          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or Section 7(b) hereof or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the offering of the SCs but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          (e) The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses pursuant to Section 7(d); which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that the indemnifying party believes that it will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party

which made such payment. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          8. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, or the officers of any of the Company and the Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Purchaser or on behalf of the Purchaser or any person controlling the Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company and their respective directors or officers or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the SCs.
          9. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Purchaser, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Cerberus Partners, L.P. c/o Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. 299 Park Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10171, Attention: Michael Hisler, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Lowenstein Sandler PC 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10020, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at GMAC Mortgage, LLC 1100 Virginia Drive, Ft.

Re: Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates, Series 256
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as special counsel to GMAC Mortgage, LLC (the “Seller”) in connection with the sale of the original notional principal balance of certain Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates, Series 256 (the “Purchased SCs”) to Cerberus Partners, L.P. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated July 30, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
     The Purchased SCs are being issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by Purchase Agreement and this letter is delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of such records, documents and other instruments as in our judgment were necessary or appropriate, including an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement.
     As to facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon certificates of public officials or certificates or opinions of officers or other representatives of the Seller. We have also relied upon the representations and warranties set forth in, or made pursuant to, the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we have made such investigations of such matters of law as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. Further, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of the document submitted to us as an original and the conformity with the original document of all documents submitted to us as copies.
     On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, it is our opinion that:
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-1-2


 

1. The Purchase Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.
2. The execution and delivery by the Seller of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions therein contemplated do not result in the violation of any provisions of the Applicable Laws. As used in this opinion, the term “Applicable Laws” means those state laws of the State of New York that, in our experience and without independent investigation, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; provided that the term “Applicable Laws” shall not include state securities or blue sky laws or any rules or regulations thereunder and any antifraud or similar laws.
     The foregoing opinions and other statements are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
     A. Members of our firm are admitted to the bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinions are limited to matters arising under the laws of the State of New York as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion as to the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction or as to the municipal laws or the laws, rules or regulations of any local agencies or governmental authorities of or within the State of New York, or in each case as to any matters arising thereunder or relating thereto. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you or any other person of any development or circumstance or any kind including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter, even in such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, conclusion or any matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter.
     B. Our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief. In addition, we advise you that rights to indemnification may be limited by applicable law or public policy.
     C. With respect to the Purchase Agreement being executed or to be executed by any party, except with respect to the Seller, we have assumed, to the extent relevant to the opinions set forth herein, that (i) such party has been duly organized and is existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) such party has full rights, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement to which it is a party and such Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and, is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement or obligation, as the case may be, of, such party.
     This letter is solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction described in the first paragraph above and may not be quoted or relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to,
 
    Purchase Agreement

any other person, nor may this letter be relied upon by you for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

299 Park Avenue, 22nd Floor
New York, New York 10171
     Re: Freddie Mac Stripped Interest Certificates,
Series 256
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am internal counsel employed by Residential Funding Company, LLC, and have acted as counsel to GMAC Mortgage, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and successor by merger to GMAC Mortgage Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), and have advised the Company with respect to certain matters in connection with the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”).
     I have examined, or caused to be examined, originals, or a copy certified to my satisfaction, of the Purchase Agreement and such other documents, certificates and instruments which I have deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with this opinion. As to matters of fact, I have examined and relied without independent verification upon representations, warranties and covenants of parties to the above documents contained therein and, where I have deemed appropriate, representations or certifications of officers of parties to the Purchase Agreement or public officials. In rendering this opinion letter, I have assumed with your permission and without independent verification, (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, (ii) with respect to parties other than the Company, the due authorization, execution and delivery of such documents, and the necessary entity power with respect thereto, and with respect to all parties, the enforceability of such documents and (iii) that there is not and will not be any other oral or written agreement, usage of trade, or course of dealing among the parties that modifies or supplements the agreements expressed in the Purchase Agreement.
     Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     Based upon the foregoing, but subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations herein expressed, I am of the opinion that:
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-2-2


 

1. The Company has been duly formed, is validly existing as a limited liability company and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
2. The Company has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
3. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;
4. There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other governmental authority which, if adversely determined, would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
5. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any state or federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made; and
6. The Company is not in violation of any of its limited liability company organizational documents, and neither the execution or delivery of or performance by the Company under the Purchase Agreement, nor the consummation by the Company of any other of the transactions contemplated therein, will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the passing of time or notification, or both, would constitute a default) under, any of the limited liability company organizational documents of the Company, or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound, or any state or federal statute or regulation applicable to the Company or any order of any state or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:
(a)   I am admitted to practice in the State of Texas and the District of Columbia, and I render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas and the District of Columbia and the Federal laws of the United States of America. However, insofar as the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 above relate to matters that are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, I am generally familiar with the laws of the State of Delaware as they relate to the organization and governance of limited liability companies, and I do not feel it necessary to consult with Delaware counsel. I do not express any opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or any other matter not specifically addressed above.
 
(b)   The opinions expressed above do not address any of the following legal issues: (i) Federal securities laws and regulations administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission, state “Blue Sky” laws and regulations, and laws and regulations relating to commodity (and other) futures and indices and other similar instruments, (ii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations (e.g., ERISA), (iii) Federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations, (iv) Federal and state laws and regulations concerning filing and notice requirements (e.g., Hart-Scott-Rodino and Exon-Florio), (v) the statutes and ordinances, administrative decisions and the rules and regulations of
 
    Purchase Agreement

A-2-3


 

    counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the Federal, state or regional level) and judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with the foregoing, (vi) Federal and state tax laws and regulations, (vii) Federal and state racketeering laws and regulations (e.g., RICO), (viii) Federal and state labor laws and regulations, (ix) Federal and state bank regulatory laws, (x) Federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning (1) national and local emergency, (2) possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states, and (3) criminal and civil forfeiture laws, and (xi) other Federal and state statutes of general application to the extent they provide for criminal prosecution (e.g., mail fraud and wire fraud statutes).
 
(c)   In rendering the opinions above, I have only considered the applicability of statutes, rules, and regulations that a lawyer in the State of Texas and the District of Columbia exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Company, to the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, or both.
          The opinions set forth herein are intended solely for the benefit of the addressee hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and shall not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without my prior written consent.
          Except for reproductions for inclusion in transcripts of the documentation relating to the transactions contemplated herein, this opinion may not be copied or otherwise reproduced or quoted from, in whole or in part, without my prior written consent.
          This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed and is limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date of this opinion.

EXCLUDED INFORMATION
(ATTACHED HERETO)
 
    Purchase Agreement — Freddie Mac Series 256

     Modeling Assumptions
     To prepare the yield table below, we have employed the following assumptions (the “Modeling Assumptions”), among others:
    As of July 1, 2008, each Mortgage represented in the related Mortgage Group has an Excess Yield Rate, interest rate, remaining term to maturity and loan age equal to the weighted average Excess Yield Rate, interest rate, remaining term to maturity and loan age for that Mortgage Group shown in the table on page S-7.
 
    The Class Coupons for the WAC/IO SCs remain constant at their initial Class Coupons.
 
    Payments on the Classes are always received on the 15th of the month, whether or not a Business Day.
 
    Each Class is outstanding from the Closing Date to retirement and no exchanges occur.
 
    The Classes are purchased at the prices listed in the table, plus accrued interest from the first day of the month of the Closing Date.
     When reading the table and the related text, you should bear in mind that the Modeling Assumptions, like any other stated assumptions, are unlikely to be entirely consistent with actual experience. For example, most of the Mortgages will not have the characteristics assumed, the Class Coupons for the WAC/IO SC Classes will vary over time and many Payment Dates will occur on a Business Day after the 15th of the month.
Yield Table
     The following table shows, at various percentages of CPR, pre-tax yields to maturity (corporate bond equivalent) of each Class. We have prepared this table using the Modeling Assumptions and the assumed prices shown in the table, plus accrued interest from July 1, 2008. Actual sales may not occur at the assumed prices.
     The Mortgages will have characteristics that are more diverse than those assumed, and Mortgage prepayment rates will differ from the constant rates shown. These differences will affect the actual payment behavior and yields of the Classes. In the case of the WAC/IO Classes, disproportionately fast prepayments on the related Mortgages with relatively higher Excess Yield Rates would increase the likelihood of a reduced or negative yield.
     See Prepayment, Yield and Suitability Considerations — Tabular Information in Supplements in the Offering Circular for a description of yield calculations and the CPR prepayment model.

If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach such a resolution within thirty days of the delivery of the Notice of Dispute, Buyer and Seller shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm of national reputation mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). If a Notice of Dispute is not delivered on or before the expiration of such 30-day period (or if Buyer notifies Seller in writing that there is no such dispute), the calculations prepared by Seller shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. In the event a Notice of Dispute is timely delivered with respect to only certain of the amounts or certain portions of the amounts set forth therein but not others, then any undisputed amount or portion thereof shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive.
          (f) The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its written determination as soon as reasonably possible (which the Parties hereto agree should not be later than sixty days following the date on which the items remaining in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm) to Seller and Buyer. The Independent Accounting Firm may only resolve disagreements as to matters covered by the Notice of Dispute. All matters not covered by the Notice of Dispute shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller and Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall promptly provide their assertions regarding the Proration Amount and Additional Proceeds Amount, as the case may be, in writing to the Independent Accounting Firm, with a copy to each other. The Independent Accounting Firm shall conduct its determination activities in a manner wherein all materials submitted to it are held in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third parties (other than any designated authorized representative of a Party). The Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items. In no event may the Independent Accounting Firm’s resolution of any difference be for an amount which is outside the range of disagreement between Buyer’s position and Seller’s position. Buyer and Seller shall provide the Independent Accounting Firm with access to all books and records reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with this Section 2.4(f) (subject to the execution of customary access letters, if requested, with respect to the work product of a Party’s independent accountant).

          (e) Subject Assets.
     (i) Seller has full right to sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Interests to Buyer, subject to receipt of the Required Seller Consents. Seller is the owner of the Interests, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (except for any such Encumbrances being released prior to or effective upon the Closing). At the Closing, Seller shall transfer all right, title and interest in the Interests to Buyer, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any kind (other than those imposed by applicable securities Laws), and, except for those Ancillary Transfer Documents executed and delivered to Buyer by Seller at Closing, no novations or assignments shall be necessary to vest Buyer at the Closing with such right, title and interest. The Interests constitute all of the outstanding membership interests (or other form of equity- or equity-like interests) of Subsidiary. Subsidiary has good and valid title to each Subject Asset, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any nature whatsoever except for Permitted Encumbrances and any other Encumbrances being released prior to or effective upon the Closing. For each Subject Asset, it was the policy of Subsidiary or Subsidiary’s predecessor in title to obtain a title insurance policy in favor of (A) Subsidiary, or (b) a predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary, and each predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary has transferred the Subject Asset to a subsequent predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary or to Subsidiary using a general warranty deed. The Services to be performed by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates under the Servicing Agreement, shall, at Closing, constitute all

 


 

services necessary to operate the Subject Assets in all material respects as currently operated. The sole business conducted by Subsidiary is and has been the ownership of the Subject Assets, the Excluded Assets and the model homes sold by Subsidiary prior to June 30, 2008, and, except for obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby or as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1(e)(i) of the ResCap Disclosure Letters, Subsidiary has not incurred any Liabilities other than Retained Liabilities, Assumed Liabilities and those Liabilities satisfied in full prior to the Closing. None of the Assets have been sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of since the Cut-Off Date, other than the Excluded Assets. Subsidiary has no employees.
     (ii) Except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the ResCap Disclosure Letters, there are no pending or, to ResCap’s Knowledge, threatened Claims concerning any Subject Asset that constitutes real property (the “Model Homes”) or the MSRAs or the obligations or rights of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates or other Persons in and to the Model Homes or under the MSRAs. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled Affiliates has received any written notice from any Governmental Entity that there currently is any pending condemnation or eminent domain proceeding relating to the Model Homes, or that any such proceeding is currently contemplated. To ResCap’s Knowledge, except as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in material liability to Subsidiary or Buyer: (i) each Model Home has been used and occupied only as a model home and/or as a sales office for the marketing of other homes in the applicable Community or for storage of items relating to the applicable Community in accordance with applicable Laws and for no other purpose, (ii) the construction of the Model Homes and all improvements in the Communities in which the Model Homes are located (or the phase of the Community in which the Model Home is located if the Community is being developed in phases) have been completed in compliance with applicable Law to the extent necessary to allow for use of the Model Homes as single family residences following Retrofit (as defined in the MSRAs), (iii) except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the ResCap Disclosure Letters, the applicable builder has complied with all state disclosure requirements and community covenants in respect of the Subject Assets and (iv) no property underlying any of the Model Homes contains Hazardous Materials in amounts that would violate applicable Law.
     (iii) Each MSRA is in full force and effect and, upon the execution and delivery of the Limited Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to the Pool 1 MSRA, will be the valid and binding obligation of Subsidiary to the extent assumed thereby and, to ResCap’s Knowledge, the other parties thereto are in compliance in all material respects with all terms and conditions in the MSRAs and, except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(iii) of the ResCap Disclosure Letters, there does not exist under the MSRAs any material violation, breach or event of default, or alleged material violation, breach or event of default, or event or condition that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material violation, breach or event of default thereunder on the part of Subsidiary or, to ResCap’s Knowledge, any other party to the MSRAs. The MSRAs, the Note and the Guaranty constitute the only Contracts in effect between ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates, on the one hand, and the applicable builder or any of its

 


 

Affiliates, on the other hand, concerning the Subject Assets. As of the Closing, other than the MSRAs, the Note and the Guaranty, there are no Contracts or indebtedness to which ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates is a party with respect to which the Subject Assets are bound.
          (f) Liabilities. Except for those items included as a reduction to the purchase price in the calculation of the Proration Amount in accordance with Exhibit D, all liabilities required to be paid prior to or as of 12:01 a.m. (New York City Time) on the Closing Date by ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates, including Subsidiary, in respect of any of the Interests or Subject Assets (including under the MSRAs, the Note or the Guaranty) have been fully paid by ResCap or the applicable controlled Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, (i) since its formation, Subsidiary has always been and is an entity disregarded from its sole owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes and no deficiency for any Taxes has been asserted or assessed with respect to any of the Interests or Subject Assets that has not been satisfied by payment, settled or withdrawn, (ii) there is no audit, claim or controversy currently asserted or threatened in writing with respect to the any of the Interests or Subject Assets in respect of any Taxes and (iii) there are no Encumbrances or security interests on any of the Interests or Subject Assets that arose in connection with any failure to pay any Taxes.

No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Interests (or the transfer of control of any of the Subject Assets as a result thereof) pursuant to this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates with respect to which Buyer or Subsidiary has any obligation or liability.
          (h) Non-Foreign Person. Seller’s sole owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes is not a “foreign person” for purposes of Section 1445 of the Code.
          (i) No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.1, neither ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates or other Persons makes any express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of ResCap or Seller or with respect to the Interests or Assets.
     Section 3.2 Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to ResCap as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (except with respect to any representation or warranty made as of a specified date, which shall be made only as of such date) that:
          (a) Due Organization. Buyer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

If at any time after the Closing, Subsidiary, Buyer or any of their respective controlled Affiliates receives proceeds or other payments in respect of any of the Excluded Assets, Buyer and Subsidiary shall, or shall cause the controlled Affiliate to (if applicable), (i) accept and hold such proceeds or payments in trust for the account and sole benefit of ResCap and have no equitable or beneficial interest in any such proceeds or payments and (ii) deliver such proceeds and payments (free of any withholding, setoff, recoupment or deduction of any kind) promptly (but in any event no later than three Business Days after the date on which such Person receives such proceeds or payment) to ResCap. From and after the Closing, Subsidiary shall not, and Buyer shall cause Subsidiary not to, cause or permit any Excluded Asset to become subject to any Encumbrance prior to the sale thereof pursuant to this Section 4.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.4, (i) Subsidiary shall be under no obligation to (x) take any action that would be in violation of applicable Law or any contract with respect to which Subsidiary is bound or subject or (y) except as set forth in those Contracts executed and delivered to Buyer prior to the date hereof, or in any other Contract (including deeds) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, make any representations or warranties or provide any indemnification in respect of any of the Excluded Assets or otherwise relating to any sale or transfer thereof, and (ii) any Liability incurred by Subsidiary in connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of any Excluded Assets or otherwise arising from Subsidiary’s compliance with this Section 4.4 shall constitute “Retained Liabilities” for purposes of Section 7.2(a)(iii).
     Section 4.5 Tax Matters.
          (a) Seller shall be liable for and Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, any and all Taxes applicable to the Interests or Subject Assets attributable to periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay all Taxes applicable to the Interests or Subject Assets attributable to periods (or portions thereof) beginning on the day after the Closing Date.
          (b) Except with respect to Taxes included in the calculation of the Proration Amount hereunder, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse any Tax paid by the other party all or a portion of which Tax is the responsibility of Seller or Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4. Within a reasonable time prior to the payment of any such Tax, the party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other party of the Tax payable and the portion that is the liability of each party, although failure to do so shall not relieve the other party from its liability hereunder except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by such delay.

 


 

          (c) After the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall, as reasonably requested by the other, (i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns relating to the Interests or Subject Assets which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audit of, or dispute with taxing authorities regarding, and any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to, liability for Taxes, in the preparation or conduct of litigation or investigation of claims, and in connection with the preparation of financial statements or other documents to be filed with any taxing authority, in each case with respect to the Interests or Subject Assets; (iii) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes relating to the Interests or Subject Assets; (iv) provide timely notice to the other party in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the Interests or Subject Assets for taxable periods for which the other party is responsible under this Section 4.4; and (v) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any taxable audit or information request with respect to any Tax periods for which the other is responsible under this Section 4.4. Until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller will, to the extent necessary in connection with any Taxes (including the tax basis of any acquired asset) or other matters relating to the Interests or Subject Assets for any period ending at or prior to the Closing, and without charge to Buyer, retain all original books, records and other documents and all electronically archived data not deliverable to Buyer at Closing related to the Interests or Subject Assets. Any information obtained pursuant to this Section 4.4 or pursuant to any other Section hereof providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the Parties, except to the extent such information is required to be disclosed by Law, regulation or judicial order.
          (d) Seller shall prepare and file, and Buyer shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of, all Tax Returns, if any, relating to any Transfer Taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     Section 4.6 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, each Party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, promptly to execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents or instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the other Party hereto and necessary for the requesting Party to satisfy obligations hereunder or to obtain the benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
     Section 7.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(e)(i), 3.1(g), 3.2(a), 3.2(b) and 3.2(e) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants in this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.
     Section 7.2 Indemnification.
          (a) From and after the Closing, ResCap shall indemnify and defend Buyer, its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsidiary), managing member, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, damages, losses, deficiencies, liabilities, penalties, fines, interest, costs, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including, without limitation, the cost and expenses of any litigations, actions, judgments and settlements related thereto, and the reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys and accountants incurred in the investigation or defense thereof or the enforcement of rights hereunder) (collectively, “Losses”) related to or arising out of any one or more of the following:

 


 

     (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in this Agreement (without giving effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar qualifications contained in such representations or warranties);
     (ii) any breach by ResCap or Seller of any covenant to be performed or complied with by ResCap or Seller under this Agreement; or
     (iii) the Retained Liabilities.
          (b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and defend ResCap, its Affiliates, managing member, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “ResCap Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses related to or arising out of any one or more of the following:
     (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement (without giving effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar qualifications contained in such representations or warranties);
     (ii) any breach by Buyer of any covenant to be performed or complied with by Buyer under this Agreement;
     (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; or
     (iv) the ownership or use of the Subject Assets after the Closing, except to the extent such Losses constitute Retained Liabilities.
     Section 7.3 Notice of Claim; Defense.
          (a) If any third party institutes or asserts any claim, demand, investigation, action or proceeding (each of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) against any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) that may give rise to Losses for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this Article VII (a “Third-Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying (to the extent such information is reasonable available) the nature of such claim and, if available, the estimated amount of all related Liabilities, which estimate shall be subject to change (a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Article VII to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Parties to provide a timely and adequate Claim Notice. If a Claim Notice has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then the relevant representation and warranties shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.
          (b) The Indemnifying Party will have 20 days (or such lesser number of days as set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigation matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice

 


 

reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party that it has determined in good faith that (i) there is a reasonable probability that such claim may materially and adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of money damages, (ii) a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, or (iii) there are specific defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be adverse to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it shall have conclusively established its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Parties may participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of their choice, in any such Proceeding; provided, that the Indemnified Parties and their counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection with such Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not (i) consent to, or enter into, any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or does not provide for a full and complete written release by such third party of the Indemnified Party, (ii) consent to, or enter into, any compromise or settlement, consent to the entry of any judgment, or admit any liability or wrongdoing with respect to any Third-Party Claim unless it involves only the payment of money damages all of which will be borne by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with its indemnification obligations hereunder and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or otherwise involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to retain counsel and assume control of such defense or if both the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party are parties to or subjects of such Proceeding and conflicts of interests exist between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Parties shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Proceeding and assume control of the defense in connection with such Proceeding, and, to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder in connection with such Proceeding, the fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one firm as such counsel per jurisdiction selected by the Indemnified Parties shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Proceeding that is entered into without its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
          (c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim and (ii) grant the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, experts and representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the books, records, personnel (including as witnesses or deponents at trial and during the discovery process) and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the Claim Notice, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties).
          (d) From and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VII are the exclusive remedy of the

 


 

Indemnified Parties (a) for any inaccuracy in any of the representations or any breach of any of the warranties or covenants contained herein or (b) otherwise with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and matters arising out of, relating to or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement, whether based on statute, contract, tort, property or otherwise, and whether or not arising from the relevant Party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault.
     Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.
          (a) To the extent that a Party hereto shall have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any other Person hereunder, such obligation shall not include lost profits or other consequential, special, punitive, incidental or indirect damages (and the injured Party shall not recover for such amounts), except to the extent such amounts are required to be paid to a third party other than an Indemnified Party or a Person affiliated therewith.
          (b) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, ResCap shall not have any obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) relating to or arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by ResCap and Seller pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) or (iii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification thereunder shall exceed 0.5% of the Firm Bid Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (the “Deductible”), and once the Deductible is exceeded, ResCap shall be liable for only those Losses in excess of the Deductible.
          (c) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in no event shall the aggregate liability of ResCap for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) relating to or arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by ResCap and Seller pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) or (iii) exceed an amount equal to the Firm Bid Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (the “Cap”).
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that neither the Deductible nor the Cap shall apply with respect to any Losses pursuant to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii).
          (e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Person (or any of its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) with respect to such Losses and (ii) any other recoveries pursuant to indemnification rights directly relating to such Loss obtained by the Indemnified Person (or any of its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) from any other third party, less, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, all Losses related to the pursuing and receipt of such recoveries and any related recoveries. If any such net proceeds or recoveries are actually received by an Indemnified Person (or any of its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Person has made a payment to the Indemnified Person with respect thereto, the Indemnified Person (or such Affiliate) shall pay to the Indemnifying Person the amount of such net proceeds or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Person’s payment).

 


 

          (f) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Person shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates) against any insurance company from which the Indemnified Person (and its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) has insurance in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Person (and its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) and Indemnifying Person shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights. To the extent the exercise of rights under this Section 7.4(f) directly results in higher insurance premiums for the Indemnified Person, the incremental cost of such higher premiums shall constitute “Losses.”
          (g) If (i) the Indemnifying Party has expressly confirmed in writing its obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim (or been deemed to have confirmed its obligation to indemnify by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim) and (ii) the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from a third party unaffiliated with such Indemnified Party, then, promptly at the written request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights in respect of such third party indemnification; provided, that (x) any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such efforts shall constitute Losses hereunder and (y) the Indemnified Party shall not be required to bring any action or pursue any claim under arbitration or mediation to enforce its rights or otherwise take any action that the Indemnified Party determines in its reasonable judgment would be detrimental in any material respect to any ongoing business relationship with such third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, ResCap shall not have any right, directly or indirectly, to pursue any indemnification rights of Buyer or Subsidiary under the MSRAs or otherwise, except to the extent directed in writing by Buyer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.
          (h) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses, whether by asserting claims against a third party (subject to clause (g) above) or by otherwise qualifying for a benefit that would reduce or eliminate an indemnified matter; provided, that no party shall be required to use such efforts if such efforts (i) would require such party to pay any out-of-pocket amount; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of an opportunity to mitigate any Loss that involves paying an out-of-pocket amount, then such Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable notification to the Indemnifying Party of such opportunity and if, after receipt of such notification, the Indemnifying Party elects to provide an Indemnified Party with immediately available funds with instructions to use such funds to mitigate any Losses, such Indemnified Party shall use such funds for purposes of satisfying its obligations under this subsection (h) in accordance with the reasonable instructions of the Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that funds supplied by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party and used to mitigate Losses shall not represent payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party for reimbursement of indemnified Losses); provided, further, that failure by the Indemnified Party to provide any such notification shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent, and solely to the extent, the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Indemnifying Party of an opportunity to mitigate any Loss as contemplated hereby and the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such

 


 

failure, or (ii) otherwise would be detrimental in any material respect to any ongoing business relationship of the Indemnified Party with any third party.

     Section 8.11 Commitment Regarding Actions of Controlled Affiliates. With respect to any covenant requiring any controlled Party or controlled Affiliate of a Party to take an action or omit to take an action, such Party shall cause such controlled Affiliate to comply with such covenant. Any failure by any Party’s controlled Affiliates to do so shall also constitute a breach of such covenant by such Party.
     Section 8.12 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause the other Party hereto irreparable harm.

ResCap hereby agrees to provide, or cause its controlled Affiliates to provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause other third parties to provide, to Subsidiary and Buyer, the Services (as defined below) with the same degree of care, skill, and diligence and in substantially the same manner as such services have been obtained by Subsidiary or any of the Prior Owners with respect to the Subject Assets during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates) (the “Required Servicing Standard”); provided, however, that ResCap may only use third parties to provide Services so long as such third parties (or similar third parties) provided such Services (directly or indirectly) to Subsidiary as of the Closing Date. The term “Prior Owners” means, collectively, DOA Properties III (Models), LLC and GMAC Model Home Finance, LLC.
               Section 9.2 Services. As used in this Agreement, the term “Services” means all services obtained by Subsidiary or a Prior Owner with respect to the Subject Assets during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap or its

               Section 9.3 Change in Services. Any material change in the manner in which the Services are provided (a “Material Change in Service”), including any change in the employees or third parties providing such Services, shall require Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. To the fullest extent practicable, Buyer shall receive a written request for consent from ResCap at least five business days prior to any proposed Material Change in Service, together with reasonable documentation describing the material terms of such proposed Material Change in Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that certain Material Changes in Service may be outside of ResCap’s control (“Involuntary Changes”), including the resignation of any employee or the termination by any third party service provider of its provision of services to ResCap, and that any Involuntary Change shall not require Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) ResCap shall confer with Buyer in determining the appropriate course of conduct in addressing any Involuntary Changes and (ii) ResCap shall obtain Buyer’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to taking any action in response to such Involuntary Change that, if taken, would constitute a Material Change in Service.

All undisputed invoices shall be paid by Buyer to ResCap by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Buyer of ResCap’s invoice, in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by ResCap to Buyer.
               Section 10.3 Service Cost Disputes. In the event that Buyer has a good faith dispute with regard to any costs invoiced by ResCap hereunder, Buyer shall provide ResCap with written notice of such dispute, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of such dispute, at or prior to the time payment would have otherwise been due, and Buyer may withhold payment of any disputed amounts pending resolution of the dispute. Buyer’s failure to pay amounts disputed in accordance with the preceding

2


 

sentence shall not be grounds for a claim of breach or suspension of the provision of Services by ResCap, its controlled Affiliates or any third party service provider.
               Section 10.4 Records and Inspection. During the term of this Agreement, ResCap shall maintain complete and accurate records of the Services provided, costs invoiced to Buyer and payments made thereunder. All such records shall be available for inspection by Buyer or its representative.

               Section 11.1 Independent Contractors. ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third party service providers in the performance of the Services, shall be acting as independent contractors to Subsidiary and Buyer and its Affiliates, and not as partners, joint venturers or agents of Buyer. Neither ResCap nor Buyer intends to create by this Agreement an employer-employee relationship. Each of ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third party service providers, on the one hand, and Subsidiary and Buyer, on the other hand, shall retain control over their respective personnel, and their respective employees shall not be considered employees of the other. Except as expressly provided pursuant to any signing authority granted pursuant to any power of attorney or written consent of the board of directors of Buyer, neither ResCap, any of its controlled Affiliates or any third party service providers, on the one hand, nor Subsidiary or Buyer, on the other hand, shall have any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other pursuant to this Agreement.
               Section 11.2 Cooperation. ResCap shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its, employees, agents, representatives, third party service providers and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to Buyer and its Affiliates. Buyer shall and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to Buyer.
               Section 11.3 Steering Committee. As promptly as practicable, ResCap and Buyer shall form a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”), which shall consist of two individuals, one of whom shall be nominated by ResCap and one of whom shall be nominated by Buyer.

          ARTICLE XII Service Standard; Compliance with Laws.
               Section 12.1 Service Standard. ResCap shall, or shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, or shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third party service providers to, provide the Services.
               Section 12.2 Compliance With Laws. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall violate any applicable Laws in connection with its performance of the Services.
               Section 12.3 Third Party Service Provider. In each instance hereunder where ResCap shall use a third party service provider to provide the Services, ResCap shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause such third party service providers to provide the Services in accordance with the Required Servicing Standard and other applicable terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of any such third party service provider to perform any Services in accordance with the Required Servicing Standard or other applicable terms hereof shall constitute a breach by ResCap of the Requisite Servicing Standard or such other term, as the case may be, and Subsidiary and Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies provided in this Agreement with respect to such ResCap breach.
          ARTICLE XIII Service Disruptions. If ResCap, its controlled Affiliates’ or any third party service provider’s performance of any Services is interrupted in whole or in part for any reason for more than three (3) full Business Days, then Subsidiary and Buyer has the right (in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement or by Law), at ResCap’s sole cost and expense, to make commercially reasonable arrangements to procure such interrupted Services from an alternative source for the period and to the extent reasonably necessitated by such interruption, or, if longer, for the duration of the contract entered into with such alternative source (provided, that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the duration of the contract with such alternate source to the shortest period of time that is reasonably practical).
          ARTICLE XIV Indemnification.
               Section 14.1 Buyer Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ResCap Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses arising out of any third party claims in connection with or arising from the performance of the obligations of ResCap and its controlled Affiliates under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
               Section 14.2 ResCap Indemnity. ResCap shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsidiary) and

4


 

its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses arising out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
               Section 14.3 Procedure. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any action for which an indemnified party intends to claim indemnification hereunder (provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from its indemnification obligations, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure). The indemnified party agrees that that the indemnifying party will have the right to assume and control the defense or settlement of such action, with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any action, it shall have conclusively established its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to such action and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim in the event such settlement or compromise imposes any liability or obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnified party agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action covered by indemnification hereunder.
               Section 14.4 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER RESCAP NOR BUYER SHALL BE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, TREBLE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR INTERNAL COSTS; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT, IF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS HELD LIABLE PURSUANT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM FOR ANY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER SECTION 6.1 OR SECTION 6.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR AND OBLIGATED TO REIMBURSE THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR SUCH DAMAGES.
          ARTICLE XV Term and Termination.
               Section 15.1 Term.

          ARTICLE XVI Confidentiality.
               Section 16.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public information, in any form, furnished or made available directly or indirectly by one party hereto or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other hereto or any of its Affiliates or third party service providers (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, and in the case of Buyer as the Disclosing Party the term Confidential Information shall also include any non-public information concerning Buyer, any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Subsidiary) or any of the Subject Assets.
               Section 16.2 Obligations of Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of such Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event shall the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care in its treatment of such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, and shall limit its disclosure of such Confidential Information to those employees, other personnel and third party service providers who have a need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and directed to use, hold and protect such Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8.2 by any Person to whom it discloses or provides access to Confidential Information.
               Section 16.3 Exclusions.

6


 

          (i) This Agreement imposes no obligation upon the Receiving Party with respect to Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge without violation of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or any other Person to whom the Receiving Party disclosed or provided access to the Confidential Information of the other party or of its Affiliates; (ii) is received on a non-confidential basis by the Receiving Party from a third party that, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is rightfully in possession of, and with a right to make an unrestricted disclosure of, such information; or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party.
          (ii) If the Receiving Party is required (by applicable law, rule or regulation or a subpoena, court order, similar judicial process, regulatory agency, Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or stock exchange rule) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will, to the extent consistent with legal and regulatory requirements: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such requirement, (ii) reasonably consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such requirement and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Receiving Party is required to disclose and to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.
               Section 16.4 Ownership of Confidential Information. Neither the Receiving Party nor any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers shall obtain any rights with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and in all cases the Disclosing Party shall retain all right, title and interest in its Confidential Information.
               Section 16.5 Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s option, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is in the possession or under the control of the Receiving Party or any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers (including all copies thereof).

7


 

successors, legal representatives and assigns. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that Buyer may assign or delegate, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates so long as Buyer remains responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than ResCap, Buyer and each of its controlled Affiliates, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that, the Buyer Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights pursuant to this Agreement) and the ResCap Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights pursuant to this Agreement) shall be third party beneficiaries of such Sections of this Agreement, entitled to enforce those specified provisions hereof.
               Section 17.3 Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

The captions and headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof. References to Articles, Sections, and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and phrases of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
               Section 17.4 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
               Section 17.5 Disputes. Any controversy or dispute arising out of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), including, without limitation, any dispute under Section 2.3 hereof, shall be submitted to the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee fails to reach unanimous agreement on the resolution of such Dispute within twenty (20) Business Days, then either ResCap or Buyer may seek remedies under Delaware law, and in connection therewith, such Dispute shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, each Party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive

8


 

jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. Each Party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
               Section 17.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
               Section 17.7 Force Majeure. Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, neither party shall be responsible to the other for any delay in or failure of performance of its obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations under Section 2) to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including any act of God, fire, earthquake, failures of its computers or electronic transmissions (but solely to the extent outside its reasonable control), strike or other labor disputes, war, embargo or other governmental act, or riot; provided, however, that the party affected thereby gives the other party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any event that is likely to cause any delay or failure setting forth a reasonable estimate of the length of any delay and any expectation that it shall be unable to resume performance; and provided, further, that said affected party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that event and resume performance with the least possible delay. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates for Services during the period of time when ResCap is not providing, or causing to be provided, such Services.
               Section 17.8 Conflicts. In case of conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement shall control.
               Section 17.9 Schedules. All Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

SERVICING AGREEMENT
          THIS SERVICING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 30, 2008, among Residential Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ResCap”), on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates (as defined in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below)) and MHPool Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), on behalf of itself and Subsidiary.

ResCap, DOA Holding Properties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ResCap, DOA Properties IIIB (KB Models), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Holdings (“Subsidiary”) and Buyer entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the Closing Date, Buyer purchased from ResCap, and ResCap sold to Buyer, the Interests.
          B. The parties desire to enter into this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
          C. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
     1. Agreement to Provide Services.
          1.1. Agreement. ResCap hereby agrees to provide, or cause its controlled Affiliates to provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause other third parties to provide, to Subsidiary and Buyer, the Services (as defined below) with the same degree of care, skill, and diligence and in substantially the same manner as such services have been obtained by Subsidiary or any of the Prior Owners with respect to the Subject Assets during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates) (the “Required Servicing Standard”); provided, however, that ResCap may only use third parties to provide Services so long as such third parties (or similar third parties) provided such Services (directly or indirectly) to Subsidiary as of the Closing Date. The term “Prior Owners” means, collectively, DOA Properties III (Models), LLC and GMAC Model Home Finance, LLC.
          1.2. Services. As used in this Agreement, the term “Services” means all services obtained by Subsidiary or a Prior Owner with respect to the Subject Assets

 


 

during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of third party services made available by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates) that are necessary or advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, to own, operate and maintain the Subject Assets as owned, operated and maintained by Subsidiary or a Prior Owner during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, including, without limitation, the services described in the schedules attached hereto (the “Schedules”).
          1.3. Change in Services. Any material change in the manner in which the Services are provided (a “Material Change in Service”), including any change in the employees or third parties providing such Services, shall require Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. To the fullest extent practicable, Buyer shall receive a written request for consent from ResCap at least five business days prior to any proposed Material Change in Service, together with reasonable documentation describing the material terms of such proposed Material Change in Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that certain Material Changes in Service may be outside of ResCap’s control (“Involuntary Changes”), including the resignation of any employee or the termination by any third party service provider of its provision of services to ResCap, and that any Involuntary Change shall not require Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) ResCap shall confer with Buyer in determining the appropriate course of conduct in addressing any Involuntary Changes and (ii) ResCap shall obtain Buyer’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to taking any action in response to such Involuntary Change that, if taken, would constitute a Material Change in Service.
     2. Payment of Services.
          2.1. Service Costs. From Closing until the thirty (30) day anniversary thereof, ResCap shall bear all costs of providing the Services. Thereafter, in consideration for each Service, Buyer shall reimburse ResCap as set forth on Schedule I hereto.
          2.2. Invoicing of Service Costs. During the applicable term of each Service, ResCap shall invoice Buyer for the Applicable Service Cost promptly after the end of each calendar month during such term. Buyer shall include with each invoice a reasonably detailed description of the Services performed, the costs charged, and such other details as may be necessary to support the invoice. All undisputed invoices shall be paid by Buyer to ResCap by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Buyer of ResCap’s invoice, in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by ResCap to Buyer.
          2.3. Service Cost Disputes. In the event that Buyer has a good faith dispute with regard to any costs invoiced by ResCap hereunder, Buyer shall provide ResCap with written notice of such dispute, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of such dispute, at or prior to the time payment would have otherwise been due, and Buyer may withhold payment of any disputed amounts pending resolution of the dispute. Buyer’s failure to pay amounts disputed in accordance with the preceding

2


 

sentence shall not be grounds for a claim of breach or suspension of the provision of Services by ResCap, its controlled Affiliates or any third party service provider.
          2.4. Records and Inspection. During the term of this Agreement, ResCap shall maintain complete and accurate records of the Services provided, costs invoiced to Buyer and payments made thereunder. All such records shall be available for inspection by Buyer or its representative.
     3. Relationship between the Parties.
          3.1. Independent Contractors. ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third party service providers in the performance of the Services, shall be acting as independent contractors to Subsidiary and Buyer and its Affiliates, and not as partners, joint venturers or agents of Buyer. Neither ResCap nor Buyer intends to create by this Agreement an employer-employee relationship. Each of ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third party service providers, on the one hand, and Subsidiary and Buyer, on the other hand, shall retain control over their respective personnel, and their respective employees shall not be considered employees of the other. Except as expressly provided pursuant to any signing authority granted pursuant to any power of attorney or written consent of the board of directors of Buyer, neither ResCap, any of its controlled Affiliates or any third party service providers, on the one hand, nor Subsidiary or Buyer, on the other hand, shall have any right, power or authority to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other pursuant to this Agreement.
          3.2. Cooperation. ResCap shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its, employees, agents, representatives, third party service providers and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to Buyer and its Affiliates. Buyer shall and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to Buyer.
          3.3. Steering Committee. As promptly as practicable, ResCap and Buyer shall form a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”), which shall consist of two individuals, one of whom shall be nominated by ResCap and one of whom shall be nominated by Buyer.

     4. Service Standard; Compliance with Laws.
          4.1. Service Standard. ResCap shall, or shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, or shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third party service providers to, provide the Services.
          4.2. Compliance With Laws. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall violate any applicable Laws in connection with its performance of the Services.
          4.3. Third Party Service Provider. In each instance hereunder where ResCap shall use a third party service provider to provide the Services, ResCap shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause such third party service providers to provide the Services in accordance with the Required Servicing Standard and other applicable terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of any such third party service provider to perform any Services in accordance with the Required Servicing Standard or other applicable terms hereof shall constitute a breach by ResCap of the Requisite Servicing Standard or such other term, as the case may be, and Subsidiary and Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies provided in this Agreement with respect to such ResCap breach.
     5. Service Disruptions. If ResCap, its controlled Affiliates’ or any third party service provider’s performance of any Services is interrupted in whole or in part for any reason for more than three (3) full Business Days, then Subsidiary and Buyer has the right (in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement or by Law), at ResCap’s sole cost and expense, to make commercially reasonable arrangements to procure such interrupted Services from an alternative source for the period and to the extent reasonably necessitated by such interruption, or, if longer, for the duration of the contract entered into with such alternative source (provided, that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the duration of the contract with such alternate source to the shortest period of time that is reasonably practical).
     6. Indemnification.
          6.1. Buyer Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ResCap Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses arising out of any third party claims in connection with or arising from the performance of the obligations of ResCap and its controlled Affiliates under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
          6.2. ResCap Indemnity. ResCap shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsidiary) and its

4


 

and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses arising out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third party.
          6.3. Procedure. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any action for which an indemnified party intends to claim indemnification hereunder (provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from its indemnification obligations, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure). The indemnified party agrees that that the indemnifying party will have the right to assume and control the defense or settlement of such action, with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any action, it shall have conclusively established its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to such action and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim in the event such settlement or compromise imposes any liability or obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnified party agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action covered by indemnification hereunder.
          6.4. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER RESCAP NOR BUYER SHALL BE REQUIRED TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, TREBLE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR INTERNAL COSTS; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT, IF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS HELD LIABLE PURSUANT TO A THIRD-PARTY CLAIM FOR ANY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER SECTION 6.1 OR SECTION 6.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR AND OBLIGATED TO REIMBURSE THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR SUCH DAMAGES.
     7. Term and Termination.
          7.1. Term. This Agreement shall be effective from and after the Closing Date and continue until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Services have been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) the dissolution of Buyer. This Agreement shall terminate automatically (without further action by any of the parties hereto) at the end of the term set forth in the preceding sentence. ResCap shall provide, or cause to be provided to, Buyer and Subsidiary each Service until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Buyer notifies ResCap in writing to terminate such Service pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof and (ii) the dissolution of Buyer.

5


 

          7.2. Termination of Services. Buyer may terminate its right to receive any particular Service for any or no reason by providing ResCap not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice setting forth the termination date for such Service.
          7.3. Obligations on Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement or any Service, (i) ResCap shall cooperate, and cause its controlled Affiliates to cooperate, and shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause its third party service providers to cooperate, with all reasonable requests by Buyer in connection with the transition of such Services, including the transfer and retention of records and data pertaining to the Services or the Subsidiary to Buyer or its designees (in a mutually agreed industry standard electronic format), (ii) ResCap shall return to Buyer or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, destroy, at Buyer’s option, all Confidential Information (including data) relating to the Subsidiary or the Services that is in ResCap’s, any of its controlled Affiliates’ or any third party service provider’s possession or control; (iii) no party hereto shall be relieved of any liability for any breach or nonfulfillment of any of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Service prior to termination of such Service; and (iv) Section 2 (as to any unpaid amounts), Sections 6, 8 and 9 and this Section 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or of any Service.
     8. Confidentiality.
          8.1. Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public information, in any form, furnished or made available directly or indirectly by one party hereto or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other hereto or any of its Affiliates or third party service providers (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to this Agreement, and in the case of Buyer as the Disclosing Party the term Confidential Information shall also include any non-public information concerning Buyer, any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Subsidiary) or any of the Subject Assets.
          8.2. Obligations of Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of such Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event shall the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care in its treatment of such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, and shall limit its disclosure of such Confidential Information to those employees, other personnel and third party service providers who have a need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and directed to use, hold and protect such Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8.2 by any Person to whom it discloses or provides access to Confidential Information.
          8.3. Exclusions.

6


 

          (a) This Agreement imposes no obligation upon the Receiving Party with respect to Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge without violation of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or any other Person to whom the Receiving Party disclosed or provided access to the Confidential Information of the other party or of its Affiliates; (ii) is received on a non-confidential basis by the Receiving Party from a third party that, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is rightfully in possession of, and with a right to make an unrestricted disclosure of, such information; or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party.
          (b) If the Receiving Party is required (by applicable law, rule or regulation or a subpoena, court order, similar judicial process, regulatory agency, Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or stock exchange rule) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will, to the extent consistent with legal and regulatory requirements: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such requirement, (ii) reasonably consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such requirement and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Receiving Party is required to disclose and to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.
          8.4. Ownership of Confidential Information. Neither the Receiving Party nor any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers shall obtain any rights with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and in all cases the Disclosing Party shall retain all right, title and interest in its Confidential Information.
          8.5. Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s option, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that is in the possession or under the control of the Receiving Party or any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers (including all copies thereof).
     9. General Provisions.
          9.1. Miscellaneous Provisions. Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.5, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, 8.11 and 8.12 of the Purchase Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis as if set forth herein.
          9.2. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns. No party hereto may assign any of its

7


 

rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that Buyer may assign or delegate, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more of its Affiliates so long as Buyer remains responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than ResCap, Buyer and each of its controlled Affiliates, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that, the Buyer Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights pursuant to this Agreement) and the ResCap Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights pursuant to this Agreement) shall be third party beneficiaries of such Sections of this Agreement, entitled to enforce those specified provisions hereof.
          9.3. Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Terms defined in the singular in this Agreement shall also include the plural and vice versa. The captions and headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof. References to Articles, Sections, and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and phrases of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
          9.4. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
          9.5. Disputes. Any controversy or dispute arising out of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), including, without limitation, any dispute under Section 2.3 hereof, shall be submitted to the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee fails to reach unanimous agreement on the resolution of such Dispute within twenty (20) Business Days, then either ResCap or Buyer may seek remedies under Delaware law, and in connection therewith, such Dispute shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, each Party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are

8


 

an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. Each Party hereto irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
     9.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
          9.7. Force Majeure. Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, neither party shall be responsible to the other for any delay in or failure of performance of its obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations under Section 2) to the extent such delay or failure is attributable to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including any act of God, fire, earthquake, failures of its computers or electronic transmissions (but solely to the extent outside its reasonable control), strike or other labor disputes, war, embargo or other governmental act, or riot; provided, however, that the party affected thereby gives the other party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any event that is likely to cause any delay or failure setting forth a reasonable estimate of the length of any delay and any expectation that it shall be unable to resume performance; and provided, further, that said affected party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to expeditiously overcome the effects of that event and resume performance with the least possible delay. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates for Services during the period of time when ResCap is not providing, or causing to be provided, such Services.
          9.8. Conflicts. In case of conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement shall control.
          9.9. Schedules. All Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
