ARTICLE II FRAMEWORK

SECTION 2.1 Contractual Framework.

This Agreement establishes the contractual framework for dealings between Chrysler and Ally in the United States, including Puerto Rico on a best efforts basis, related to Consumer Financing, Dealer Financing, Remarketing, and Insurance (individually and collectively “Dealings”).

 

(b)  

From time to time, at Chrysler’s option and upon reasonable advance notice to Ally, Chrysler may designate as “Chrysler Products” any motor vehicles sold under a brand of Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and distributed through Chrysler Dealers, in which case this Agreement will apply to such vehicles.

 

(c)  

Each party will each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective Subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, Mexico, as applicable, to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to their dealings by executing one or more Opt-in Agreements in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A.

 

 

    (i)  

Upon execution of an Opt-in Agreement, the Subsidiary accedes to the rights, benefits and obligations of this Agreement, with those specific modifications, exceptions or additions set forth in a particular Opt-in Letter as necessary or appropriate to reflect operating and financing conditions in the relevant local market.

 

 

    (ii)  

If a Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of a party, then the other party may terminate all rights and obligations with respect to that former Subsidiary effective on 60 days’ prior notice.

 

 

    (iii)  

The parties may from time to time agree on the inclusion of their respective Subsidiaries in additional markets into this Agreement, the inclusion of which will be evidenced by the execution and delivery by such Subsidiaries of additional Opt-in Agreements.

 

(d)  

Nothing in this Agreement precludes Ally from providing or continuing to provide any financial services to OEMs other than Chrysler or dealers other than Chrysler Dealers, or from providing or continuing to provide insurance, mortgage, banking, or other non-automotive financial services.

 

(e)  

The specific terms and conditions related to individual Dealings in the United States that are not captured by this Agreement, or as to which the parties mutually agree to provide for more specific terms as to a specific transaction, series of transactions, or type of transaction, will be the subject of separate agreements (each an “Implementing Agreement”), and unless Ally and Chrysler specifically agree otherwise, including in such Implementing Agreement, this Agreement controls to the extent of any direct conflict between this Agreement and any such Implementing Agreement.

 

(f)  

Chrysler and Ally will reasonably cooperate with one another and assist the other in carrying out the other’s obligations under this Agreement and will execute and deliver documents and instruments reasonably necessary and appropriate to do so.

 

(g)  

The terms of this Agreement are intended to preserve the customer loyalty and dealer support benefits that would accrue to Chrysler as an OEM with an exclusive financing affiliate, while at the same time assuring that Ally receives a competitive level of return.

 

(h)  

Ally recognizes Chrysler’s desire to grow its automotive business and will continue to support Chrysler in that effort to the extent that it is consistent with Ally’s business interests.

ARTICLE III CONSUMER FINANCING

SECTION 3.1 General Service Obligations.

 

(a)  

In the United States, Ally will provide full and fair consideration to Applications spanning a broad spectrum of prime and nonprime Consumers received from a Chrysler Dealer with whom Ally has a Retail Financing relationship, applying credit risk underwriting standards consistent with its general practices for Consumer Financing, and will purchase such contracts, if appropriate in Ally’s sole discretion in accordance with its usual and customary standards for creditworthiness, subject to applicable safety and soundness standards.

 

(b)  

Ally’s decision whether to provide Consumer Financing to any Consumer will be made in its sole and absolute discretion and pursuant to its business judgment, without any influence by Chrysler (but this does not prohibit Chrysler from communicating with Ally about any aspect of Ally’s performance as a financial service provider under the Agreement).

 

(c)  

Ally will provide assistance to Chrysler Dealers with whom Ally has a Retail Financing relationship to finalize Consumer contracts related to Consumer Financing, consistent with its general practices as discussed from time to time with the U.S. Coordinating Committee.

SECTION 3.2 Subvention Programs.

 

(a)  

Chrysler will, in its sole discretion, set all terms and conditions of all Subvention Programs, including Consumer eligibility, program dates, covered Chrysler Products, base prices of Chrysler Products eligible for Subvention, applicable Consumer credit tiers, lending duration of offered Consumer Financing products (e.g., 36 months, 60 months, etc.), and geography, and a Subvention Program may contain any terms and conditions (e.g., it may relate to one or more Chrysler Products, one or more Chrysler brands, and one or more Consumer credit tiers), in each case subject to Section 3.2(a)(i) and (a)(ii) below.

 

 

    (i)

-7-


[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

  installment sale contract products), however nothing in this Agreement restricts Chrysler from operating several Subvention Programs at any particular time or offering Consumers a choice between alternative Subvention Programs; and

 

 

    (ii)  

Chrysler will not intentionally design a Chrysler Subvention Program with the intent of excluding Ally’s participation in such Subvention Program, but Chrysler will not be restricted from operating a Subvention Program on the basis that Ally has indicated an inability or unwillingness to participate in such a Subvention Program or, in fact, does not participate in such a Subvention Program.

 

(b)  

Chrysler will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Ally, including by e-mail or other electronic means, of all Subvention Programs at least five Business Days before the scheduled start date (except for routine special rate and special residual support changes, notice of which may be given one Business Day before the scheduled start date).

If Chrysler does not provide Ally at least five Business Days’ notice of such a Subvention Program, Ally will nevertheless use commercially reasonable efforts to implement that Subvention Program to the extent reasonably and practically possible under the circumstances.

 

 

    (ii)  

After receipt of notice of such a Subvention Program, Ally will notify Chrysler as promptly as practicable if Ally is unwilling or unable to implement or participate in that Subvention Program.

 

 

    (iii)  

If Ally cannot implement a Subvention Program concept as proposed by Chrysler, then Chrysler and Ally will reasonably cooperate to find a workable solution, if any, but:

 

 

          (A)  

Ally is not bound to participate in such Subvention Program; and

 

 

          (B)  

Chrysler is not bound to modify its proposed Subvention Program concept in order to accommodate Ally’s participation.

 

(c)  

Chrysler will solicit input from Ally as to individual Subvention Programs and will consult in good faith with Ally as to the terms and conditions of individual Subvention Programs to facilitate Ally’s ability to provide Retail Financing to support Chrysler’s business, but Chrysler is not bound to implement or modify the terms of any particular proposed Subvention Program in response to Ally’s input and will remain free, subject to Chrysler’s specific obligations in this Agreement, to design and implement Subvention Programs in its discretion.

 

(d)  

Chrysler will allow Ally to participate in any and all Subvention Programs on a side-by-side basis with any and all other financing sources.

(d)  

Chrysler’s compliance with the Exclusivity Thresholds will be reported to and assessed by the Coordinating Committee on a calendar quarterly basis, with compliance during any calendar quarterly periods in which an Exclusivity Threshold applied in part only (i.e., the quarterly period ending December 31, 2009) or in which more than one Exclusivity Threshold applied (i.e., the quarterly period ending June 30, 2010) being determined on the basis of a weighted average of the Retail Contracts dated and booked during the calendar quarterly periods.

    (i)  

The business plan will include guidelines for the parties’ operational implementation and timelines for achieving the Exclusivity Threshold by individual market (United States, Canada, and Mexico).

 

 

    (ii)

(a)  

If Ally and Chrysler have agreed that Capital Markets Disruption has occurred, and [***], in whole or in part, after the parties have attempted to [***], then:

 

 

    (i)  

Chrysler’s obligations under Section 3.3(b) or 3.3(c) above, as applicable, are suspended, and Chrysler may offer that Rate Support Subvention Program(s) on terms consistent with those offered to Ally through one or more third parties on a temporary basis, so long as the terms and conditions are consistent with those offered to Ally, (“Alternative Volume”) until Ally has notified Chrysler that the Capital Markets Disruption has ended.

Chrysler and Ally, respectively, will indemnify the other party’s and the other party’s Subsidiaries; directors; officers; employees; and representatives, in each case, in their capacities as such, against any and all damages, claims, causes of action, losses, and/or other liabilities incurred and arising from such party’s business or operations (i.e., in the case of Ally where the liabilities are primarily and traditionally are Ally’s as a financial services provider and in the case of Chrysler, where the liabilities are primarily and traditionally are Chrysler’s as a manufacturer), in each case to the extent related to a third party legal or enforcement action (“Indemnifiable Claim”).

 

 

    (i)  

The party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) must notify the other party of any third party action that may be an Indemnifiable Claim brought against the Indemnitee as promptly as reasonably practical; however, any failure to provide such notice does not relieve the indemnifying party from its indemnity obligations under this Agreement.

 

 

    (ii)  

The party from whom indemnification is sought (“Indemnitor”) may assume full control of the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim.

 

 

    (iii)  

If the Indemnitor does not assume control of the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim within a reasonable time of receiving notice of it from the Indemnitee and Indemnitee is prejudiced by such delay, then the Indemnitee may assume control of the defense of it, with full recourse against the Indemnitor for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense and/or settlement of the Indemnifiable Claim.

 

 

    (iv)  

The Indemnitee and Indemnitor will reasonably cooperate with each other in defense of the Indemnifiable Claim, regardless of which party has assumed control of the defense of it.

 

 

    (v)  

Neither the Indemnitee nor the Indemnitor may settle any third party claim related to the services provided under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, and without obtaining the unconditional release of the other party from all liability to the third claimant(s).

 

(b)  

If the indemnifiable damages, claims, causes of action, losses, and/or other liabilities arise out of the parties’ joint activities, then the parties will apportion the damages, claims, causes of action, losses, and/or other liabilities in good faith and in a fair manner under the circumstances.

SECTION 13.2 Limitation on Liability. Neither party will be liable to the other party:

 

(a)  

In tort, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)  

For equitable claims (but not including equitable remedies).

 

-22-


[***] Indicates that text has been omitted which is the subject of a confidential treatment request. This text has been separately filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

(c)  

For claims arising out of any contract with any customer, dealer, or other third party or otherwise in connection with their relationship with such Persons.

SECTION 13.3 Limitation on Damages. Neither party is liable under this Agreement for any:

 

(a)  

Damages caused by a Force Majeure Condition as defined in Section 15.6 below; or

 

(b)  

Indirect, incidental, consequential, or non-economic damages.

SECTION 13.4 Equitable Remedies. Nothing in this Agreement restricts either party’s ability to seek equitable remedies (as distinguished from claims), including specific performance of a party’s obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 13.5 Cumulative Remedies. Each party’s rights and remedies under, and/or in connection with, this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singly, concurrently, and/or successively in the exercising party’s sole, absolute discretion.

ARTICLE XIV CONFIDENTIALITY

SECTION 14.1 Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Neither party will use or disclose any Confidential Information of the other party or the terms of this Agreement, except:

 

(a)  

To its Representatives who have agreed to comply with the nondisclosure and use restrictions of this Agreement, and then only to the extent reasonably necessary for the disclosing party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Implementing Agreement.

 

(b)  

To its Subsidiaries that do not compete with the other party; its board of directors; and/or its external auditors.

 

(c)  

To the extent expressly consented to by the other party.

 

(d)  

To the extent required to be disclosed by any of the following, but before making any such disclosure the disclosing party will notify the other party of any such requirement to the extent legally permitted, so that such other party may seek an appropriate protective order at such other party’s sole cost and expense:

 

 

    (i)  

Order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency, or governmental body.

 

 

    (ii)  

By subpoena, summons, or other compulsory legal process.

 

 

    (iii)  

Law, regulation, or rule.

 

 

    (iv)  

In connection with any judicial or other adjudicatory proceeding in which Chrysler or Ally is a party.

SECTION 14.2 Nondisclosure of Chrysler Dealer and Chrysler Consumer Information. Subject to Section 14.1(c) and 14.1(d) above, Ally will not directly or indirectly share data about Chrysler Dealers or their customers with other OEMs, authorized vehicle distributors, or authorized vehicle dealers, absent the consent of Chrysler and the affected Chrysler Dealers or their customers (as applicable), and will put in place appropriate safeguards to protect such information from unauthorized disclosure.

 

(a)  

The foregoing restrictions do not apply to Ally’s “own experience” data about Chrysler Dealers or their customers or to data that is otherwise public.

(a)  

Upon written request, Chrysler and Ally will provide each other reasonable information regarding the processing of such information, including where and how such information is stored, who has access to such information and why and what security measures are taken to ensure that such information is protected from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, erasure, manipulation and destruction while in its possession or control.

 

(b)  

Chrysler and Ally will maintain sufficient procedures to detect and respond to security breaches involving Confidential Information and will inform each other as soon as practicable when either of them suspects or learns of malicious activity involving such Confidential Information, including an estimate of the activity’s effect on the other and the corrective action taken.

SECTION 14.4 Data Privacy. Chrysler and Ally each will treat the other’s Confidential Personal Information confidentially and use or disclose Confidential Personal Information only in connection with providing Consumer Financing Services and their other obligations under this Agreement.

(e)  

Chrysler and Ally will notify each other promptly upon the discovery of any loss, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, or unauthorized use of the other’s Confidential Personal Information and will indemnify the other party for such loss, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access or unauthorized use, including reasonable attorney fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 13.1 of this Agreement.
