The following table reflects the primary products and services offered by the continuing operations of each of our
lines of business.

Global Automotive Services
Global Automotive Services includes our North American Automotive Finance operations, International Automotive
Finance operations, and Insurance operations. Our Global Automotive Services business had $106.7 billion of assets at
December 31, 2010, and generated $7.4 billion of total net revenue in 2010.

A significant portion of our Global Automotive Services business is conducted with or through GM- and Chrysler
Group LLC (Chrysler)-franchised dealers and their customers.
On November 30, 2006, we entered into an agreement with GM that, subject to certain conditions and limitations,
whenever GM offers vehicle financing and leasing incentives to customers, it would do so exclusively through Ally. Most
recently, this agreement was modified on May 22, 2009. As a result of these modifications: (1) through December 31,
2010, GM could offer retail financing incentive programs through a third-party financing source under certain specified
circumstances and, in some cases, subject to the limitation that pricing offered by the third party meets certain restrictions,
and after December 31, 2010, GM can offer any incentive programs on a graduated basis through third parties on a
nonexclusive, side-by-side basis with Ally provided that the pricing of the third parties meets certain requirements;
(2) Ally will have no obligation to provide operating lease financing products; and (3) Ally will have no targets against
which it could be assessed penalties. The modified agreement will expire on December 31, 2013. A primary objective of
Ally under the agreement continues to be supporting distribution and marketing of GM products.
On August 6, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Chrysler (which replaced a term sheet that was originally
effective on April 30, 2009) to make available automotive financing products and services to Chrysler dealers and
customers. We are Chrysler's preferred provider of new wholesale financing for dealer inventory in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico, along with other international markets upon the mutual agreement of the parties. We provide dealer
financing and services and retail financing to qualified Chrysler dealers and customers as we deem appropriate according
to our credit policies and in our sole discretion. Chrysler is obligated to provide us with certain exclusivity privileges
including the use of Ally for designated minimum threshold percentages of certain Chrysler retail financing subvention
programs. The agreement extends through April 30, 2013, with automatic one-year renewals unless either we or Chrysler
provides sufficient notice of nonrenewal. During 2010, Chrysler also selected Ally to be the preferred financing provider
for Fiat vehicles in the United States. Under this agreement, our North American Automotive Finance operations will
offer retail financing, leasing, wholesale financing, working capital and facility loans, and remarketing services for Fiat
vehicles in the United States.
In 2010, we also further diversified our Global Automotive Services customer base by establishing agreements with
other manufacturers. In March 2010, we were selected by Spyker Cars N.V., which purchased Saab Automobile from
GM, as the preferred source of wholesale and retail financing for qualified Saab dealers and customers in North America
and internationally. Additionally, in November 2010, we were selected as the recommended provider of finance and
insurance products and services for Saab dealerships in the United States. In April 2010, we were selected by Thor
Industries, Inc. (Thor) as the preferred financial provider for its recreational vehicles. Thor is the world's largest
manufacturer of recreation vehicles, including brands such as Damon, Four Winds, Airstream, Dutchmen, Komfort,
Breckenridge, CrossRoads, General Coach, and Keystone RV.
Automotive Finance
Our North American Automotive Finance operations consist of our automotive finance operations in the United
States and Canada. At December 31, 2010, our North American Automotive Finance operations had $81.9 billion of
assets and generated $4.0 billion of total net revenue in 2010.
Our International Automotive Finance operations are in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. At December 31, 2010,
our International Automotive Finance operations had $16.0 billion of assets and generated $1.0 billion of total net revenue
in 2010. Through our longstanding relationship with GM, we have extensive experience operating in international markets
and broad global capabilities. We currently originate loans in 15 countries. During 2010 and 2009, we have significantly
streamlined our international presence to focus on strategic

operations in five core markets: Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, and China through our joint venture,
GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited (GMAC-SAIC). In China, GMAC-SAIC is a leading automotive
finance company with broad geographic coverage and a full suite of products. We own 40% of GMAC-SAIC. The other
joint venture partners include Shanghai Automotive Group Finance Company LTD and Shanghai General Motors
Corporation Limited.
Our success as an automotive finance provider is driven by the consistent and broad range of products and services
we offer to dealers who originate loans and leases to their retail customers who are acquiring new and used automobiles.
In the United States and Canada, Ally and other automotive finance providers purchase these loans and leases from
automotive dealers. In other countries, we offer retail installment loans and leases directly to retail customers of the
dealers. Automotive dealers are independently owned businesses and are our primary customer.
Automotive dealers require a full range of financial products, including new and used vehicle inventory financing,
inventory insurance, working capital and capital improvement loans, and vehicle remarketing services to conduct their
respective businesses as well as service contracts and guaranteed asset protection (GAP) insurance to offer their
customers. We have consistently provided this full suite of products to the dealer.
For consumers, we offer retail automotive financing for new and used vehicles and leasing for new vehicles. In the
United States, retail financing for the purchase of vehicles takes the form of installment sale financing. When we refer to
consumer automobile loans in this document, we are including retail installment sales financing unless the context
suggests otherwise. During 2010, we originated a total of 1.9 million automotive loans and leases worldwide totaling
approximately $43.0 billion. We provided financing for 40% and 38% of GM's and Chrysler's North American retail
sales including leases, respectively, and 22% of GM's international retail sales including leases in countries where both
GM and we operate and we had retail financing volume, excluding China. For additional information about our
relationship and business transactions with GM, refer to Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our consumer automotive financing operations generate revenue through finance charges or lease payments and fees
paid by customers on the retail contracts and leases. We also recognize a gain or loss on the remarketing of the vehicles
financed through lease contracts. When the lease contract is originated, we estimate the residual value of the leased
vehicle at lease termination. At lease termination, our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or
lower than the original estimate, which may be revised over time.
GM or Chrysler may elect as a marketing incentive to sponsor special financing programs for retail sales of their
respective vehicles. The manufacturer can lower the financing rate paid by the customer on either a retail contract or a
lease by paying us the present value of the difference between the customer rate and our standard market rates at contract
inception. These marketing incentives are referred to as rate support or subvention. GM may also from time to time offer
lease pull-ahead programs, which encourage consumers to terminate existing leases early if they acquire a new GM
vehicle. As part of these programs, we waive all or a portion of the customer's remaining payment obligation. In most
cases, GM compensates us for a portion of the foregone revenue from those waived payments after consideration of the
extent that our remarketing sale proceeds are higher than otherwise would be realized if the vehicle had been remarketed
at lease contract maturity. Historically, the manufacturer elected to lower a customer's lease payments through a residual
support incentive program; in these instances, the manufacturer and we agreed to increase the projected value of the
vehicle at the time the lease contract was signed, and the manufacturer reimbursed us if the remarketing sales proceeds
were less than the adjusted residual value. We have not had any residual support incentive programs of material size on
leases originated in 2009 or 2010 with any manufacturers.
Our commercial automotive financing operations primarily fund dealer purchases of new and used vehicles through
wholesale or floorplan financing. During 2010, we financed an average of $30.5 billion of dealer vehicle

inventory worldwide through wholesale or floorplan financings. We financed 86% and 75% of GM's and Chrysler's
North American dealer inventory, respectively, during 2010, and 75% of GM's international dealer inventory in countries
where GM operates and we provide dealer inventory financing, excluding China. Additional commercial offerings include
automotive dealer term loans, revolving lines of credit, and dealer fleet financing.
Wholesale automotive financing represents the largest portion of our commercial automotive financing business. We
extend lines of credit to individual dealers. In general, each wholesale credit line is secured by all the vehicles financed
and, in some instances, by other assets owned by the dealer or by a personal guarantee. The amount we advance to dealers
is equal to 100% of the wholesale invoice price of new vehicles. Interest on wholesale automotive financing is generally
payable monthly and is usually indexed to a floating rate benchmark. The rate for a particular dealer is based on the
dealer's creditworthiness and eligibility for various incentive programs, among other factors.
Insurance
Our Insurance operations offer both consumer and commercial insurance products sold primarily through the
automotive dealer channel. As part of our focus on offering dealers a broad range of products, we provide vehicle
extended service contracts and mechanical breakdown coverages and underwrite selected commercial insurance coverages
in the United States and internationally, primarily covering dealers' wholesale vehicle inventory, as well as personal
automobile insurance in certain countries outside the United States. We sell vehicle extended service contracts with
mechanical breakdown and maintenance coverages. Our Insurance operations had $8.8 billion of assets at December 31,
2010, and generated $2.4 billion of total net revenue in 2010.
Our vehicle extended service contracts for retail customers offer owners and lessees mechanical repair protection and
roadside assistance for new and used vehicles beyond the manufacturer's new vehicle warranty. These extended service
contracts are marketed to the public through automotive dealerships and on a direct response basis in the United States and
Canada. The extended service contracts cover virtually all vehicle makes and models. We also offer GAP products, which
allow the recovery of a specified economic loss beyond the covered vehicle's value in the event the vehicle is damaged
and declared a total loss. Our U.K.-based Car Care Plan subsidiary provides automotive extended service contracts and
GAP products in Europe and Latin America.
Wholesale vehicle inventory insurance for dealers provides physical damage protection for dealers' floorplan
vehicles. Dealers are generally required to maintain this insurance by their floorplan finance provider. We offer vehicle
inventory insurance in the United States to virtually all new car franchised dealerships. Through our international
operations, we reinsure dealer vehicle inventory and other lines of insurance in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
International operations also manage a fee-focused insurance program through which commissions are earned from third-
party insurers offering insurance products primarily to Ally customers worldwide.
Our ABA Seguros subsidiary provides personal automobile insurance and certain commercial insurance in Mexico.
We also provide personal automobile insurance in Canada.
A significant aspect of our Insurance operations is the investment of proceeds from premiums and other revenue
sources. We will use these investments to satisfy our obligations related to future claims at the time these claims are
settled. Our Insurance operations have an Investment Committee, which develops guidelines and strategies for these
investments. The guidelines established by this committee reflect our risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, regulatory
requirements, and rating agency considerations, among other factors.

Mortgage
Our Mortgage operations are now reported as two distinct segments: (1) Origination and Servicing operations and
(2) Legacy Portfolio and Other operations. These operations are conducted through the mortgage operations of Ally Bank
in the United States, ResMor Trust in Canada, and subsidiaries of the Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) legal entity in
the United States. Our Mortgage operations had $36.8 billion of assets at December 31, 2010, and generated $2.7 billion
of total net revenue in 2010.
Origination and Servicing
Our Origination and Servicing operations is one of the leading originators of conforming and government-insured
residential mortgage loans in the United States. We also originate and purchase high-quality government-insured
residential mortgage loans in Canada. We are one of the largest residential mortgage loan servicers in the United States
and we provide collateralized lines of credit to other mortgage originators, which we refer to as warehouse lending. We
finance our mortgage loan originations primarily in Ally Bank in the United States and in ResMor Trust in Canada.
During 2010, we originated or purchased approximately 300,000 mortgage loans totaling $69.5 billion in the United
States: $61.5 billion through our network of correspondents and $8.0 billion through our retail and direct network, which
includes our Ditech branded direct-to-consumer channel. We sell the conforming mortgages we originate or purchase in
sales that take the form of securitizations guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and sell government-insured mortgage loans we originate or
purchase in securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) in the United
States and sell the insured mortgages we originate in Canada as National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities
(NHA-MBS) issued under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's NHA-MBS program or through whole-loan
sales. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae are collectively known as the Government-sponsored Enterprises or
GSEs. We also selectively originate prime jumbo mortgage loans in the United States. In 2010, we sold $67.8 billion of
mortgage loans guaranteed by the GSEs, or 94.6% of total loans sold. At December 31, 2010, we were the primary
servicer of 2.4 million mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $361 billion. Our Originating and Servicing
operations had $24.5 billion of assets at December 31, 2010, and generated $1.8 billion of total net revenue during the
year ended December 31, 2010.
Legacy Portfolio and Other
Our Legacy Portfolio and Other operations primarily consists of loans originated prior to January 1, 2009, and
includes noncore business activities including discontinued operations, portfolios in runoff, and cash held in the ResCap
legal entity. These activities, all of which we have discontinued, include, among other things: lending to real estate
developers and homebuilders in the United States and the United Kingdom; purchasing, selling and securitizing
nonconforming residential mortgage loans (with the exception of U.S. prime jumbo mortgage loans) in both the United
States and internationally; certain conforming origination channels closed in 2008 and our mortgage reinsurance business.
During 2009 and 2010, we performed a strategic review of our mortgage business. As a result of the review, we exited the
European mortgage market through the sale of our United Kingdom and continental Europe operations. The sale of these
operations was completed on October 1, 2010. We have substantially reduced the risk in our Mortgage operations since
the onset of the housing crisis through a significant reduction in total assets, primarily through the runoff and divestiture
of noncore businesses and assets. In 2010, we sold $1.6 billion in domestic legacy mortgage loans to investors through
nonagency securitizations. At December 31, 2010, our Legacy Portfolio and Other operations had total assets of $12.3
billion that included $1.4 billion of nonrecourse assets and cash, mortgage loans held-for-investment with a net carrying
value of $8.9 billion, and mortgage loans held-for-sale with a net carrying value of $2.0 billion, which have been marked
to their fair value at 47% of their unpaid principal balance on average. In addition, we have reached agreements with
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, significantly limiting our repurchase obligations with each counterparty. Our Mortgage
operations holds reserves of $830 million at December 31, 2010, for potential repurchase obligations related to potential
breaches of representations and warranties.
