The Company acknowledges that GM is an “accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act and, as such, the Company will be required to provide quarterly and annual financial information to GM for the purposes of GM’s Exchange Act reports earlier than the Company would otherwise be required to produce such information in connection with the Company’s own Exchange Act reports.

(e) Subject to applicable law and stock exchange regulations, with respect to the GM Trust, for so long as the GM Trust holds at least 2.5% of the then-outstanding Common Stock, and provided that such trust shall have executed a customary confidentiality agreement with respect to the use and treatment of confidential information and further provided that the Company shall be permitted to exclude such trust from receiving certain information if, based on the advice of counsel, such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege of

the Company, provided that to the extent practicable the Company shall provide such non-voting observer advance written notice of any such exclusion:

(d) The provisions of the Charter and these Bylaws, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities of a Stockholder otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Stockholders to replace such duties and liabilities of such Stockholder.

Such further notice shall be given as may be required by Law, but meetings may be held without notice if all the Common Holders entitled to vote at the meeting are present in person or by telephone or represented by proxy or if notice is waived in writing by those not present, either before or after the meeting.

Section 6.6. Quorum. Any number of Common Holders holding at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote with respect to the business to be transacted and who shall be present in person or by telephone or represented by proxy at any meeting duly called shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If such quorum is not present within sixty minutes after the time appointed for such meeting, such meeting shall be adjourned and the Board of Directors shall reschedule the meeting no fewer than three nor more than ten Business Days thereafter.

The percentage of the total votes entitled to be cast by any Common Holder or group of Common Holders with respect to such Common Holder’s or group of Common Holders’ Common Stock, calculated pursuant to this Section 6.7, is herein referred to as the “Voting Power” of such Common Holder or Common Holders.

(b) At any meeting of the Common Holders, each Common Holder entitled to vote on any matter coming before the meeting shall, as to such matter, have a vote, in person, by telephone or by proxy, equal to the Voting Power of the number of shares of Common Stock held in its name on the relevant record date established pursuant to Section 6.9.

(c) Except as otherwise specified herein, when a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Power of the capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Common Holders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of Law or the Charter or these Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Where a separate vote by any class of capital stock is required, the affirmative vote of the holders holding at least a majority of the Voting Power of the capital stock of such class present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting of such class shall be the act of such class, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of Law or the Charter or these Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

(d) Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Common Holders or any class of Stockholders or to express consent or dissent to any action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

stock may be represented or voted under a proxy that have been found to be invalid or irregular.

(a) Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of, or by any vote of, Common Holders or of any class of Stockholders, or any action or vote that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such Common Holders or class of Stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the Stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by Stockholders holding (i) in the case of any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting, or by vote, of the Common Holders, not less than a majority of the Voting Power of the outstanding Common Stock (or, with respect to the taking of any action that would require a higher percentage of Common Holders to approve hereunder, such higher percentage of the outstanding Common Stock), or (ii) in the case of any action required to be taken at any meeting of the Stockholders holding a particular class of capital stock, not less than a majority of the shares of capital stock of such class, as applicable. Any such consent or consents shall be delivered to the Company by delivery to the Company’s principal place of business, or an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the Stockholders are recorded. If action is so taken without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the Common Holders or of any class of Stockholders, a copy of such written consent shall be delivered promptly to all Common Holders or all Stockholders of such class who have not consented in writing. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the Common Holders or any class of Stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Stockholders at a meeting of the Common Holders or the Stockholders of such class.

(b) Common Holders may participate in meetings of the Common Holders, and Stockholders of any class may participate in meetings of such class of Stockholders, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a telephonic meeting pursuant to this Section 6.8(b) shall constitute presence at such meeting and shall constitute a waiver of any deficiency of notice.

Section 6.9. Record Date. For the purpose of determining the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Common Holders or any class of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a payment of any kind, or in order to make a determination of Stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of Stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than seventy calendar days prior to the date on which the particular

meeting or action requiring such determination of Common Holders is to be held or taken. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the date on which notices of the meetings are mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date. When a determination of the Common Holders has been made as provided in this Section 6.9, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty calendar days after the date originally fixed.

(b) Subject to Section 10.2(a), in the event that the Board of Directors, the Majority Holders (including at least two Common Holders) or the Fully-Diluted Majority Holders, as applicable, approve an initial Public Offering and sale of securities of the Issuer (including a sale of Equity Securities, debt securities, income deposit securities or securities of any other kind or combination) pursuant to a Public Offering, then each Stockholder (other than the Class F-2 Preferred Holder and the Class E Preferred Holder) and Director shall take all necessary or desirable actions required or deemed advisable by the Board of Directors or such Stockholders, as applicable, in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering, and enter into such agreement or agreements as are necessary to preserve the rights and obligations of the Stockholders hereunder as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such initial Public Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the case of a Public Offering that is required pursuant to Section 10.2(a), none of the Directors shall have any duty to the Stockholders to independently evaluate or approve any such action but merely to act in any necessary or desirable fashion to accommodate the implementation of such offering as determined by those persons requiring registration.

(c) Subject to Section 10.2(a), in the event that, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(b), the Board of Directors, the Majority Holders (including at least two Common Holders) or the Fully-Diluted Majority Holders, as applicable, so determine, each Stockholder (other than the Class F-2 Preferred Holder and the Class E Preferred Holder) who pursuant to the terms of the Charter or these Bylaws has any right to vote upon or consent to such transaction shall be deemed to have consented to and, if required under the Charter, these Bylaws or Law, shall vote in favor of a recapitalization, reorganization, conversion, contribution and/or exchange of such Stockholder’s capital stock into securities that the Board of Directors, the Majority Holders (including at least two Common Holders) or the Fully-Diluted Majority Holders, as applicable, find acceptable and shall take all necessary or desirable actions required or deemed advisable by the Board of Directors, the Majority Holders (including at least two Common Holders) or the Fully-Diluted Majority Holders, as applicable, in connection with the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, conversion, contribution and/or exchange; provided that, if in any such recapitalization, reorganization,

conversion, contribution and/or exchange, the Issuer provides for each holder of capital stock to receive cash, securities of the Issuer or other consideration in exchange for or in satisfaction of such holder’s capital stock, then (i) all holders of the same class or type of capital stock in the Company shall receive the same form and proportionate share of consideration as all other holders of such class or type of interests, and (ii) any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to the Stockholders in such recapitalization, reorganization, conversion, contribution and/or exchange shall be valued by the Board of Directors, the Majority Holders (including at least two Common Holders) or the Fully-Diluted Majority Holders, as applicable, in its or their, as applicable, reasonable discretion (which determination shall be binding, as a matter of contract, on each Stockholder pursuant to these Bylaws) and shall be distributed among the Stockholders according to the respective class of capital stock of the Stockholders in the Company as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such recapitalization, reorganization, conversion, contribution and/or exchange as if such consideration were received by the Company and an amount equal to the value thereof were distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1.

Section 10.3. Preemptive Rights. (a) The Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any Preemptive Securities (as defined below) of the Company to any Person unless, in each case, the Company shall have first offered to sell to each Common Holder and the holders of any Class F-2 Preferred Stock (each a “Preemptive Holder”) such Preemptive Holder’s Preemptive Share of the Preemptive Securities, at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to each such Preemptive Holder (the “Preemptive Offer”), which Preemptive Offer shall by its terms remain open and irrevocable for a period of at least ten calendar days from the date it is delivered by the Company (the “Preemptive Offer Period”). Each Preemptive Holder may elect to purchase all or any portion of such Preemptive Holder’s Preemptive Share of the Preemptive Securities as specified in the Preemptive Offer at the price and upon the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Company as soon as practical but in any event within the Preemptive Offer Period; provided that if the Company is issuing Preemptive Securities together as a unit with any other Securities, then any Preemptive Holder who elects to purchase the Preemptive Securities pursuant to this Section 10.3 must purchase the same proportionate mix of all of such securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Charter or these Bylaws, a Preemptive Holder may assign all or any portion of its right to acquire Preemptive Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders, and upon any such assignment, each such equityholder shall be deemed a Preemptive Holder for the purposes of this Section 10.3.

“Preemptive Securities” means, as applicable, (i) Common Stock or other common equity securities of the Company or other securities of the Company that vote together with the Common Stock, (ii) any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other common equity securities of the Company or other securities of the Company that vote together with the Common Stock, (iii) any rights or options directly or indirectly to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other common equity securities of the Company or other securities of the Company that vote together with the Common Stock or to subscribe for or to purchase any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other common equity securities of the Company, or (iv) any share appreciation rights, phantom share rights, or other similar rights to the extent related to Common Stock or other securities of the Company that vote together with the Common Stock, or (v) any Preemptive Securities issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, conversion, or other reorganization.

(b) Each Preemptive Holder’s “Preemptive Share” of Preemptive Securities shall be determined as follows: the total number of Preemptive Securities, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then held, directly or indirectly, by such Preemptive Holder on a Fully-Diluted Basis, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then held by all Preemptive Holders (including such Preemptive Holder) on a Fully-Diluted Basis.

(c) Upon the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period, the Company shall be entitled to sell such Preemptive Securities which the Preemptive Holders have not elected to purchase for a period ending on the later to occur of (i) one hundred twenty calendar days following the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period, or (ii) if a definitive agreement to Transfer the Preemptive Securities is entered into by the Company within such one hundred twenty calendar day period, the date on which all applicable approvals and consents of Governmental Entities and other Persons with respect to such proposed Transfer have been obtained and any applicable waiting periods under Law have expired or been terminated, in each case on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Preemptive Holders. Any Preemptive Securities to be sold by the Company following the expiration of such period must be reoffered to the Preemptive Holders pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.3 if any such agreement to Transfer is terminated.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall not apply to the following issuances of Preemptive Securities:

(i) Preemptive Securities issued to or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors and other service providers of or to the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms hereof or any applicable incentive plan of the Company;

(ii) securities issued by the Company in connection with a Public Offering;

(iii) securities issued as consideration in acquisitions or commercial borrowings or leasing;

(iv) securities issued upon conversion of convertible or exchangeable securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that were outstanding on June 30, 2009 or were not issued in violation of this Section 10.3; and,

(v) a subdivision of shares of capital stock (including any stock dividend or stock split), any combination of shares of capital stock (including any reverse stock split) or any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or conversion of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) The preemptive rights granted in this Section 10.3 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering and a Company Sale.

(f) Notwithstanding the procedural requirements of Sections 10.3(a) and (c) above, with respect to any issuance of Preemptive Securities to UST in connection with the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, in the event that the Company determines that it is necessary or advisable, the Company may complete a transaction covered by Section 10.3(a) above prior to making a Preemptive Offer to Preemptive Holders, provided that the Company (x) shall make the Preemptive Offer to Preemptive Holders promptly following completion of such transaction and (y) Preemptive Holders shall have no less than 10 calendar days to consider any such Preemptive Offer.

Section 10.4. Registration Rights of Certain Common Holders. The Common Holders shall have those registration rights attached hereto as Exhibit F. Exercise of such registration rights shall be subject to the priority allocation to the UST provided for in Section 10.2(a). Such exhibit is hereby incorporated into and made part of these Bylaws as if it were set forth fully herein.

ARTICLE XI

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 11.1. Non-Disclosure. Each Stockholder agrees that it will use, and will cause each of its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective partners,

members, managers, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, “Agents”) to use, its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the Company by limiting internal disclosure of any such information to those Persons who have an actual need to know such information in connection with the business of the Company or such Stockholder’s investment in the Company and will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, use such information other than in connection with the business of the Company or such Stockholder’s investment in the Company.

Section 11.2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 11.1, a Stockholder, its Affiliates and their Agents may disclose any Confidential Information: (a) to any Governmental Entity in connection with applications for approval of the transactions contemplated hereby and the other Transaction Documents (or, in the case of any regulated Affiliate of a Stockholder, in connection with audits by the applicable Governmental Entities), (b) to financial institutions in connection with financings of the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) in the case of any Stockholder, (i) to a bona fide potential Transferee if such Stockholder desires to undertake any Transfer of its capital stock permitted by these Bylaws, (ii) to its stockholders, limited partners, members, trust beneficiaries or other equityholders, as the case may be, all materials made available to such Stockholder pursuant to the terms of these Bylaws and (iii) to its indirect stockholders, limited partners, members, trust beneficiaries or other equityholders, as the case may be, so long as the Confidential Information disclosed to such Persons is limited to the materials delivered to such party pursuant to Section 4.4(a), provided that (A) in the case of subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this clause (c), prior to the disclosure of any Confidential Information, such Person shall execute an agreement containing substantially the terms set forth in Section 11.1 and this Section 11.2, and (B) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the disclosure of Confidential Information relating to commercial transactions or commercial relationships of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be strictly limited to such Persons who have an actual need to know such information in connection with the administration of their equity interest in such Stockholder, (d) to any rating or similar agency in connection with its analysis or review of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (e) in the case of the GM Trust, between such trust and its trustee and Agents, and (f) to any other Person if such party becomes compelled by Law (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, mandatory provision of Law, regulation or stock exchange rule) to disclose any of the Confidential Information. In addition, each Stockholder may report to its stockholders, limited partners, members, trust beneficiaries or other equityholders, as the case may be, the general status of such Stockholder’s investment in the Company (without disclosing specific Confidential Information). A disclosing Stockholder shall be responsible for a breach by any third Person to whom such disclosing Stockholder discloses Confidential Information in

accordance with the terms of subclauses (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of this Section 11.2. In the case of clause (f) above, the disclosing party shall (i) provide the other parties hereto with prompt written notice of such requirement so that such non-disclosing parties may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the terms of this Article XI and (ii) take such reasonable legally available steps as the non-disclosing parties may reasonably request to resist or narrow such requirement (at the expense of the non-disclosing parties). In the event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or that the non-disclosing parties waive compliance with the terms hereof, the disclosing party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is advised by counsel is required to be furnished, and to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such Confidential Information.
