ITEM 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

ITEM 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

ITEM 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On July 10, 2009, General Motors Company (“New GM”), formerly known as NGMCO, Inc. and successor-in-interest to Vehicle Acquisition Holdings LLC, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Motors Liquidation Company (“Old GM”), formerly known as General Motors Corporation, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Saturn LLC (“Saturn LLC”), Saturn Distribution Corporation (“Saturn Distribution”) and Chevrolet-Saturn of Harlem, Inc. (“Harlem”, and collectively with Old GM, Saturn LLC and Saturn Distribution, the “Sellers”). The sale was consummated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase Agreement , dated as of June 26, 2009, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), between Sellers and New GM. The Purchase Agreement was entered into in connection with the Sellers’ filing of voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and was completed pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “363 Sale”) and the Bankruptcy Court’s sale order dated July 5, 2009.

In connection with the closing of the 363 Sale and pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price paid by New GM to Old GM equaled the sum of (i) a credit bid in an amount equal to the aggregate of (A) $19,760,624,198 of principal amount of debt under Old GM’s existing credit agreement with the U.S. Treasury (the “UST Loan”), plus $1,172,811,274 of principal amount of notes issued as additional compensation for the UST Loan, plus, in each case, interest on such debt owed as of the closing date of the 363 Sale (the “Closing Date”) by Old GM and its subsidiaries, and (B) $33,300,000,000 of principal amount of debt under Old GM’s debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), plus $2,221,110,000 of principal amount of notes issued as additional compensation for the DIP Facility, plus, in each case, interest thereon owed as of the Closing Date by Old GM and its subsidiaries, less $8,247,488,605 of principal amount of debt owed under the DIP Facility, (ii) the U.S. Treasury’s return of the warrants previously issued to the U.S. Treasury by Old GM, (iii) the issuance by New GM to Old GM of (a) 50,000,000 shares (10%) of New GM’s common stock and (b) warrants to acquire newly issued shares of New GM’s common stock initially exercisable for a total of 90,909,090 shares of New GM’s common stock (15% of New GM’s common stock on a fully diluted basis) on the respective terms specified therein, and (iv) the assumption by New GM or its designated subsidiaries of certain specified liabilities of Old GM and certain of its subsidiaries (including $7,072,488,605 of debt owed under the DIP Facility). In the event that the estimated aggregate general unsecured claims against the Sellers, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court upon the request of Old GM, exceeds $35 billion, New GM is required to issue, as an adjustment to the purchase price, up to approximately an additional 2% of its common stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) to Old GM, based on the extent to which such claims exceed $35 billion, with the full amount of the Adjustment Shares being payable if such excess amount is greater than or equal to $7 billion. In connection with the closing of the 363 Sale and pursuant to Sections 363(b) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Sellers sold to New GM substantially all of the assets of the Sellers (other than certain specified assets, including certain real property, Old GM’s equity interests in certain of Old GM’s subsidiaries, and certain contractual obligations owed to Old GM).

US Loan Agreement and VEBA Note Agreement

On July 10, 2009, New GM entered into (i) a secured credit agreement (the “US Loan Agreement”) with the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which New GM assumed $7,072,488,605 of principal amount of debt incurred by Old GM under the DIP Facility and all of Old GM’s obligations with respect thereto, and (ii) a secured note agreement (the “VEBA Note Agreement” and, together with the US Loan Agreement, the “US Facilities”) with the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the “New VEBA”), pursuant to which New GM issued a note in a principal amount of $2,500,000,000 in favor of the New VEBA in connection with and as required by the Purchase Agreement. The loans under the US Loan Agreement (the “Loans”) are scheduled to mature on July 10, 2015. Each Loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate plus 4.0% or the LIBOR rate (which will be no less than 2.0%) plus 5.0%, per annum. The notes under the VEBA Note Agreement (the “Notes”) are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2017. Each Note has an implied interest rate equal to 9.0% per annum, compounded annually, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, accreting from July 15, 2009.

New GM is required to prepay the Loans and the Notes (on a pro rata basis) in an amount equal to the amount of net cash proceeds received from certain asset dispositions, casualty events, extraordinary receipts and the incurrence of certain debt. New GM may also voluntarily repay Loans and/or Notes (as applicable) in whole or in part at any time. Once repaid, amounts borrowed under the US Loan Agreement may not be reborrowed.

Certain of New GM’s domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) guaranteed New GM’s obligations under the US Facilities and the other Guarantors’ obligations under the other documents entered into in connection therewith. The US Facilities are secured by substantially all of New GM’s and the Guarantors’ U.S. assets, including New GM’s and the Guarantors’ equity interests in certain of their foreign subsidiaries (limited in most cases to 65% of the equity interests of the pledged foreign subsidiaries due to tax considerations), subject to certain exclusions (the “Collateral”).

The US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement contain various representations and warranties that were made by New GM and its controlled U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries on the effective date (and, with respect to the US Loan Agreement, will be required to be made on certain other dates). The US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement also contain various affirmative covenants requiring New GM and its controlled U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries to take certain actions and negative covenants restricting their ability to take certain actions. The affirmative covenants are generally applicable to New GM and its controlled U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and impose obligations on them with respect to, among other things, financial and other reporting to the U.S. Treasury (including periodic confirmation of compliance with certain expense policies and executive privilege and compensation requirements) and the New VEBA, corporate existence, preservation of the Collateral and other property, payment of taxes and compliance with certain laws.

The negative covenants in the US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement generally apply to New GM and its controlled U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and restrict them with respect to, among other things, fundamental changes, liens, restricted payments and restrictions on subsidiary distributions, amendments or waivers of certain documents, negative pledge clauses, sales of

assets and indebtedness. However, both the US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement permit New GM and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness secured by a first-priority lien on the Collateral (and other assets), in each case subject to meeting a specified maximum consolidated leverage ratio, after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness. If such indebtedness is to be secured by a first-priority lien on the collateral, the obligations under the US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement will be restructured to be secured by a second priority-lien on such collateral.

The US Loan Agreement and the VEBA Note Agreement also contain various events of default that entitle the U.S. Treasury or the New VEBA, as applicable, to accelerate the repayment of the Loans and the Notes, as the case may be, upon their occurrence and continuation. In addition, upon the occurrence and continuation of any default or event of default, interest under the US Loan Agreement accrues at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the interest rate otherwise applicable to the Loans and the implied interest rate on the Notes increases to a rate equal to 11% per annum, compounded annually. The events of default relate to, among other things, New GM’s failure to pay principal or interest on the Loans or to make payments on the Notes (as applicable); the Guarantors’ failure to pay on their guarantees; the failure to pay other amounts due under the loan documents or the secured note documents; the failure to perform the covenants in the loan documents or the secured note documents; the representations and warranties in the US Loan Agreement or the VEBA Note Agreement being false or misleading in any material respect; undischarged judgments in excess of $100 million; certain bankruptcy events; the termination of any loan documents or secured note documents, the invalidity of security interests in the Collateral; certain prohibited transactions under ERISA; a change of control; a default under the Canadian Loan Agreement (as discussed below) (other than the vitality commitment); and a default under other indebtedness if the default (including a default of the vitality commitment under the Canadian Loan Agreement) results in the holder thereof accelerating the maturity of indebtedness in excess of $100 million in the aggregate.

Proceeds of the US Loan Agreement were deposited in escrow for the benefit of the U.S. Treasury and are to be released at New GM’s request on any date only if the following conditions are met: (i) each of the representations and warranties made by New GM or the Guarantors in or pursuant to the loan documents is true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date; (ii) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date immediately prior to or after giving effect to the withdrawal requested to be made on such date; and (iii) New GM has delivered a notice to the U.S. Treasury with respect to, among other things, the amount and intended use of such disbursement and the U.S. Treasury shall have approved the use of the requested disbursement in its sole discretion.

Canadian Loan Agreement

On July 10, 2009, General Motors of Canada Limited (“GMCL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of New GM, and certain of GMCL’s subsidiaries entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing loan agreement with Export Development Canada (“EDC”) (the “Canadian Loan Agreement”). Following the amendment and restatement, GMCL has US$1,288,135,593 term loan maturing on July 10, 2015. Amounts outstanding under the Canadian Loan Agreement accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month CDOR rate (which will be no less than 2.0%) plus 5.0%, and accrued interest is payable quarterly. GMCL may voluntarily repay the loans under the Canadian Loan Agreement in whole or in part at any time. Once repaid, amounts borrowed under the Canadian Loan Agreement may not be reborrowed.

The Canadian Loan Agreement has been guaranteed by New GM, and by 1908 Holdings Ltd., Parkwood Holdings Ltd., and GM Overseas Funding LLC, each of which is a subsidiary of GMCL (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). New GM’s guarantee of GMCL’s obligations under the Canadian Loan Agreement is secured by a lien on the equity of GMCL. Because 65% of New GM’s ownership interest in GMCL was previously pledged to secure the obligations under the US Facilities, EDC received a first priority lien on 35% of New GM’s equity interest in GMCL and a second priority lien on the remaining 65%. With certain exceptions, GMCL’s obligations under the Canadian Loan Agreement are secured by a first lien on substantially all of its and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ assets, including GMCL’s ownership interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors and that portion of the equity interests of General Motors Product Services Inc. owned by GMCL.

The Canadian Loan Agreement contains various representations and warranties made by GMCL and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the effective date. The Canadian Loan Agreement also contains various affirmative covenants requiring GMCL and the Subsidiary Guarantors to take certain actions and negative covenants restricting the ability of GMCL and the Subsidiary Guarantors to take certain actions. The affirmative covenants impose obligations on GMCL and the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to, among other things, financial and other reporting to EDC, reporting on and preservation of the collateral pledged in connection with the Canadian Loan Agreement, executive privileges and compensation, restrictions on expenses and compliance with applicable laws. The negative covenants in the Canadian Loan Agreement are similar to the negative covenants under the US Facilities (as applicable to GMCL and the Subsidiary Guarantors) and also require GMCL to maintain certain minimum levels of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and address specific requirements with respect to pension and compensation matters.

The Canadian Loan Agreement contains various events of default that entitle EDC to accelerate the maturity of the loans under the Canadian Loan Agreement. These events of default include, but are not limited to, failure to pay principal or interest on the loans, failure by New GM or the Subsidiary Guarantors to pay on their guarantees, failure to pay other amounts due under the loan documents, failure to perform the covenants in the loan documents, representations and warranties in the Canadian Loan Agreement being false or misleading in any material respect, undischarged judgments in excess of CDN$100 million; certain bankruptcy events, the termination of any loan documents, an event of default under the U.S. Facilities, or a default under indebtedness in excess of $100 million in the aggregate if the default results in the holder of that indebtedness accelerating its maturity.

Stockholders Agreement

New GM, the U.S. Treasury, the New VEBA and 7176384 Canada Inc. (“Canada Holdings”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated as of July 10, 2009 (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Stockholders Agreement provides that the board of directors of New GM shall be composed of 13 members. The initial board of directors will consist of 10 members who are designated by the U.S. Treasury, one member who is designated by the New VEBA, one member who is designated by Canada Holdings and the chief executive officer of New GM. At least two-thirds of the directors must be determined by the board of New GM to be independent within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange rules. So long as the New VEBA holds at least 50% of the shares of

New GM common stock it held at the closing of the 363 Sale, the New VEBA shall have the right to designate one nominee to the New GM board of directors. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until an initial public offering of New GM, the New GM board agrees to nominate and the stockholders agree to appoint the director designated by the New VEBA to the New GM board. After the initial public offering, subject to the New GM board approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the board of directors of New GM shall nominate the New VEBA nominee to be elected a member of the board and include the New VEBA nominee in the proxy statement and related materials. So long as Canada Holdings holds at least 50% of the shares of New GM common stock issued to it at the closing of the 363 Sale and until an initial public offering of New GM, Canada Holdings shall have the right to designate one nominee to the New GM board of directors, who shall be independent within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange rules. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the New GM board of directors agrees to nominate and the stockholders parties to the Stockholders Agreement agree to appoint the director designated by Canada Holdings to the New GM board.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides that the U.S. Treasury and Canada Holdings shall use their reasonable best efforts to exercise their demand registration rights under the Equity Registration Rights Agreement and cause an initial public offering to occur within one year of the date of the Stockholders Agreement, unless New GM is already taking steps and proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect an initial public offering. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until the initial public offering of New GM, so long as Canada Holdings beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding New GM common stock, New GM may not, without the prior written consent of Canada Holdings, take any action to effectuate (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of New GM; (ii) any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New GM; or (iii) an issuance of New GM common stock at a price per share less than fair market value, as determined in good faith by the board of directors (other than pursuant to an employee benefit plan).

A copy of the Stockholders Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On July 10, 2009, in connection with the closing of the 363 Sale, New GM issued 304,131,356 shares of New GM’s common stock to the U.S. Treasury (and all of the shares of New GM’s common stock owned by the U.S. Treasury prior to the closing of the transactions were surrendered to New GM for cancellation), 58,368,644 shares of New GM’s common stock to Canada Holdings, 87,500,000 shares of New GM’s common stock to the New VEBA and 50,000,000 shares of New GM’s common stock to Old GM.

In addition, on the same date, New GM also issued 83,898,305 shares of New GM’s Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to the U.S. Treasury, 16,101,695 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to Canada Holdings and 260,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to the New VEBA. The Series A Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $25 per share and accrue cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 9% per annum (payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15) if, as and when declared by the board of New GM. So long

as any share of the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on New GM’s common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock. On or after December 31, 2014, New GM may redeem, in whole or in part, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of (i) $25 per share and (ii) subject to limited exceptions, any accrued and unpaid dividends.

On July 10, 2009, also in connection with the closing of the 363 Sale, New GM issued two warrants to Old GM, one to acquire 45,454,545 newly issued shares of New GM common stock, exercisable at any time prior to the seventh anniversary of issuance, with an exercise price set at $30.00 per share and the other to acquire 45,454,545 newly issued shares of New GM common stock, exercisable at any time prior to the tenth anniversary of issuance, with an exercise price set at $55.00 per share. On July 10, 2009, New GM also issued a warrant to the New VEBA to acquire 15,151,515 newly issued shares of New GM common stock, exercisable at any time prior to December 31, 2015, with an exercise price set at $126.92 per share. The number of shares of New GM common stock underlying each of the warrants issued to Old GM and the New VEBA and the per share exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment as a result of certain events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits and stock dividends.

The foregoing securities were issued to the U.S. Treasury, Canada Holdings, the New VEBA and Old GM in connection with the formation of New GM and the completion of the 363 Sale. The consideration paid for these securities with respect to each of the U.S. Treasury, Canada Holdings, the New VEBA and Old GM is as follows:

ITEM 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On July 10, 2009, in connection with the closing of the 363 Sale, the board of directors of New GM accepted the resignations of David Markowitz as President and Secretary and Sadiq Malik as Vice President and Treasurer. In addition, New GM appointed Frederick A. Henderson as President and Chief Executive Officer, Ray G. Young as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Nicholas S. Cyprus as Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.

Frederick A. Henderson, 50, had been associated with Old GM since 1984. He was named Group Vice President and President of GMAP on January 1, 2002. He was appointed Group Vice President and Chairman of GME effective June 1, 2004. On January 1, 2006, Mr. Henderson was appointed Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. He became President and Chief Operating Officer for Old GM on March 3, 2008 and became Old GM’s President and Chief Executive Officer on March 29, 2009.

Ray G. Young, 47, had been associated with Old GM since 1986. Mr. Young was named Chief Financial Officer of GMNA on August 1, 2001, and was President and Managing Director of GM do Brasil and Mercosur Operations, beginning in January 2004. Mr. Young was appointed Group Vice President, Finance, on November 1, 2007. He became Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Old GM on March 3, 2008.

Nicholas S. Cyprus, 56, had been associated with Old GM since December 2006, when he became Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. He was Senior Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer for the Interpublic Group of Companies from May 2004 to March 2006. From 1999 to 2004, Mr. Cyprus was Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer at AT&T Corporation.

Douglas L. Henderson, brother of President and Chief Executive Officer Frederick A. Henderson, is employed by New GM. Mr. Douglas Henderson makes less than $180,000 per year, and receives salary and benefits comparable to those provided to other New GM employees in similar positions.

In connection with the 363 Sale, New GM assumed certain of the plans, contracts and arrangements, as amended to date, applicable to the compensation of Old GM’s CEO and senior executives, including Old GM’s senior leadership group. Each of Mr. Henderson, Mr. Young and Mr. Cyprus will initially be paid salaries equal to the salaries paid to them by Old GM immediately prior to their removal as officers of Old GM ($1,260,000, $720,000 and $522,000 per year, respectively). Copies of the Compensation Statements between Old GM and each of Mr. Henderson, Mr. Young and Mr. Cyprus are attached as Exhibit 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, in connection with the closing of the 363 Sale, New GM assumed Old GM’s Salaried Retirement Program (“SRP”) and Executive Retirement Plan (“ERP”), as amended. As of December 31, 2008, the present value of the accumulated benefits with respect to Mr. Henderson, Mr. Young and Mr. Cyprus was $470,500, $346,700 and $2,900, respectively, under the SRP and $3,619,200, $789,600 and $54,200, respectively, under the ERP. Pursuant to the terms of the amended ERP, to become effective August 1, 2009, the present value of the accumulated benefits with respect to each of the participants thereunder was reduced by 10% in connection with the assumption of the amended ERP by New GM. As of December 31, 2008, Messrs. Henderson, Young and Cyprus were not eligible to retire under any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan. Upon termination of employment prior to retirement eligibility, Messrs. Henderson and Young are only eligible for a deferred vested benefit from the SRP, reduced for age, if received prior to age 65. Mr. Cyprus does not have a vested benefit under the SRP, so his benefit would be forfeited. In addition, New GM assumed the ERP Benefit Equalization Plan for Salaried Employees (the “ERP-BEP”). As of December 31, 2008, the aggregate balance in the ERP-BEP accounts of Mr. Henderson, Mr. Young and Mr. Cyprus was $73,337, $34,219 and $16,087, respectively.

In connection with the closing of the 363 Sale, on July 9, 2009, Edward E. Whitacre, Jr., Stephen Girsky and Frederick A. Henderson were elected to the board of directors, effective upon the closing of the 363 Sale. On July 10, 2009, after the closing of the 363 Sale, Edward E. Whitacre, Jr. was elected Chairman of the board of directors and Erroll B. Davis, Jr., Kent Kresa, Philip A. Laskawy, Kathryn V. Marinello and E. Neville Isdell were elected to the board, effective immediately. Directors Davis, Kresa, Laskawy, Marinello, Isdell and Whitacre were designated to the board by the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, director Girsky was designated to the board by the New VEBA pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and Mr. Henderson, as Chief Executive Officer of New GM, was required by the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to be named to the board. The U.S. Treasury has informed New GM that it expects to designate additional members to the board shortly.

Effective immediately upon the closing of the 363 Sale on July 10, 2009, Michael Tae and Duane Morse resigned as directors of New GM. Neither served on any committees of New GM and neither of their resignations is due to any disagreement with New GM.

Each member of the board who is not an employee of the New GM will be paid, in cash, an annual retainer of $200,000 for service on the board and, if applicable, one or more of the following annual retainers: (i) $10,000 for service as chair of any board committee; (ii) $20,000 for service on the audit committee of the board; and (iii) $150,000 for service as the Chairman of

the board. In addition, until August 1, 2009, the members of the board may be reimbursed for taxes related to income imputed to them for the use of company cars provided to non-employee directors.

ITEM 8.01

The rights of co-sale provided pursuant to this Section 5.1 must be exercised by any Co-Sale Holder within ten Business Days following receipt of the notice required by the preceding sentence, by delivery of a written notice to the Selling Holder indicating such Co-Sale Holder’s desire to exercise its rights and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock (up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 5.1(a)). If the proposed transferee or transferees fail to purchase shares of Common Stock from any Co-Sale Holder that has properly exercised its rights of co-sale under Section 5.1(a) on the terms specified above, then the Selling Holder shall not be permitted to make the proposed sale. If none of the Co-Sale Holders gives such notice prior to the expiration of the ten Business Day period for giving such notice, then the Selling Holder may sell the Sold Shares to any Person on terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the Selling Holder than those set forth in the Co-Sale Notice at any time within a period ending on the later to occur of (x) 120 days following the expiration of such period for giving notice or (y) if a definitive agreement to sell the Sold Shares is entered into by the Selling Holder within such 120-day period, the date on which all applicable approvals and consents of Governmental Authorities with respect to such proposed sale have been obtained and any applicable waiting period under Law have expired or been terminated. If the Selling Holder has not consummated the proposed sale within the time period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Selling Holder shall not sell any such shares of Common Stock without again complying with this Section 5.1.

(c) If any of the Co-Sale Holders exercise their rights under Section 5.1(a), the closing of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such rights have been exercised shall take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Selling Holder’s interests.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to any proposed sale by any Holder effected pursuant to the demand registration or piggyback provisions of the Equity Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 5.2 Drag-Along Rights. (a) At any time prior to the IPO, if UST (for purposes of this Section 5.2, the “Electing Holder”), determines to sell, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to an independent third party or parties (the “Drag-Along Buyer”), greater than 25% of the Initial Shares of Common Stock held by the Electing Holder, the Electing Holder may require each of VEBA and Canada (the “Non-Electing Holders”) to sell or cause to be sold up to a number of their shares of Common Stock as of such date in such transaction (by merger or otherwise), equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the contemplated sale and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Non-Electing Holder and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held, in the aggregate, by the Electing Holder and all Non-Electing Holders, to the Drag-Along Buyer, for the same consideration per share of Common Stock and on the same terms and conditions as the Electing Holder, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2 (the “Compelled Sale”) and to take such other actions with respect thereto as set forth in Section 5.2(b) below.

(b) The Corporation, if instructed in writing by the Electing Holder, shall send written notice (the “Compelled Sale Notice”) of the exercise of the rights pursuant to this Section 5.2 to each of the Non-Electing Holders setting forth the consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid pursuant to the Compelled Sale and the other terms and conditions of the transaction. Each Non-Electing Holder, upon receipt of the Compelled Sale Notice, will be obligated to (i) except in the case of the VEBA, vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of such Compelled Sale at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation called to vote on or approve such Compelled Sale (or any written consent solicited for such purpose), (ii) sell the requisite number of its shares of Common Stock, and participate in the Compelled Sale and (iii) otherwise take all necessary action, including, without limitation, expressly waiving any dissenter’s rights or rights of appraisal or similar rights, providing access to documents and records of the Corporation, entering into an agreement reflecting the terms of the Compelled Sale (although Non-Electing Holders shall not be required to provide representations, warranties and indemnities other than concerning each such Holder’s valid ownership of its shares of Common Stock free of all liens, and each such Holder’s authority, power and right to enter into and consummate the Compelled Sale without violating any other agreement), surrendering certificates or other instruments representing the shares of Common Stock, duly authorized for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power, cooperating in obtaining any applicable Governmental Approval and otherwise to cause the Corporation to consummate such Compelled Sale. Any such Compelled Sale Notice may be rescinded by the Electing Holder at any time prior to the execution of any agreement with respect to a Compelled Sale by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation and all of the Non-Electing Holders.

(c) The obligations of the Non-Electing Holders pursuant to this Section 5.2 are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) in the event that the Non-Electing Holders are required to provide the representations, warranties or indemnities in connection with the Compelled Sale described in Section 5.2(b) above, then, each such Holder (A) will not be liable for more than the lesser of (x) its pro rata share of such indemnification payments (based upon the total consideration received by such Holder divided by the total consideration received by all sellers in such Compelled Sale) and (y) the total proceeds actually received by such Holder as consideration for its shares of Common Stock in such Compelled Sale, and (B) such liability shall be several and not joint with any other Person; and

(ii) if any Holder is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each other Holder shall be given the same option.

(d) Each Holder shall be obligated to pay his, her or its pro rata share of the expenses incurred in connection with a consummated Compelled Sale (based upon the total consideration received by such Holder divided by the total consideration received by all sellers in such Compelled Sale) to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Holders and are not otherwise paid by the Corporation or the acquiring party (costs incurred by or on behalf of a Holder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder).

(e) If any Holder fails to sell to the Drag-Along Buyer its shares of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to this Section 5.2, each Holder agrees that the Board shall cause such shares of Common Stock to be sold to the Drag-Along Buyer on the Corporation’s books in consideration of the purchase price, and such Drag-Along Holder’s pro rata portion of the purchase price may be held in escrow, without interest, until such time as he, she or it takes such actions as the Board may reasonably request in connection with the transaction.

Section 5.3 Preemptive Rights.

(a) At any time prior to the IPO (and not including the IPO itself), the Corporation shall not issue any shares of Common Stock unless, prior to such issuance, the Corporation offers such shares of Common Stock to each Holder at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions.

(b) Not less than 20 Business Days prior to the closing of such offering (the “Preemptive Rights Period”), the Corporation shall send a written notice to each Holder stating the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered (the “Preemptive Rights Shares”), the proposed closing date and the price and terms on which it proposes to offer such shares of Common Stock.

(c) Within 10 Business Days after the receipt of the notice pursuant to Section 5.3(b), each Holder may elect, by written notice to the Corporation to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, at the price and on the terms specified in such notice, up to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and (B) the denominator of which is the number of total outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(d) The closing of any such purchase of shares of Common Stock by such Holder pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall occur concurrently with the closing of the proposed issuance, as applicable, subject to adjustment to obtain any necessary Governmental Approval.

(e) Upon the expiration of the Preemptive Rights Period, the Corporation shall be entitled to sell such Preemptive Rights Shares that the Holders have not elected to purchase for a period ending 120 days following the expiration of the Preemptive Rights Period on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Holders. Any Preemptive Rights Shares to be sold by the Corporation following the expiration of such period must be reoffered to the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3 or if any such agreement to Transfer is terminated.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not apply to the following issuances of shares of Common Stock:

(i) incentive shares of Common Stock issued to or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors and other service providers of or to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof or any applicable incentive plan of the Corporation;

(ii) securities issued upon conversion of convertible or exchangeable securities (including warrants) of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or were not issued in violation of this Section 5.3; and

(iii) a subdivision of shares of Common Stock (including any share distribution or split), any combination of shares of Common Stock (including any reverse share split), shares issued as a dividend or other distribution on the shares of Common Stock or any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or conversion of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Section 5.4 Information Rights.

(a) For so long as UST Beneficially Owns at least ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall deliver to UST:

(i) all financial statements, budgets, reports, liquidity statements, materials, data and other information required to be delivered to UST pursuant to Section 5 of the UST Secured Credit Agreement (provided that, if and for so long as the Corporation has complied with the applicable covenants under Section 5 of the Secured Credit Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have satisfied this Section 5.4(a)(i));

(ii) a monthly report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to UST, the contents of which shall be reasonably specified by UST to the Corporation from time to time;

(iii) from time to time such other information regarding the financial condition, operations, or business of the Corporation as UST may reasonably request; and

(iv) copies of all other information that the Corporation delivers to the Debtor, in its capacity as a shareholder of the Corporation.

provided that, for so long as Canada Beneficially Owns at least ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, the Corporation shall deliver to Canada copies of all information that the Corporation delivers to UST pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof.

(b) Prior to the IPO Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the VEBA (whether or not the notes issued pursuant to the VEBA Secured Note Agreement are then outstanding):

(i) all financial statements, budgets, reports, liquidity statements, materials, data and other information required to be delivered to the VEBA pursuant to Section 5.1 of the VEBA Secured Note Agreement (provided that, if and for so long as the Corporation has complied with the applicable covenants under Section 5.1 of the VEBA Secured Note Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have satisfied this Section 5.4(b)(i)); and

(ii) copies of all other information that the Corporation delivers to the Debtor, in its capacity as a shareholder of the Corporation.

Compensation Statement for Frederick A. Henderson

Exhibit 10.2

Name: Frederick A. Henderson

COMPENSATION STATEMENT


Commencing: January 1, 2009		Salary: $105,000.00 per month

I agree the salary cited will be my total salary during each monthly period in which GM continues it in effect for all hours worked, including overtime.

I acknowledge I am aware of trade secrets or other confidential and/or proprietary information concerning GM; the disclosure of which will cause irreparable harm to the Corporation. I agree that I will not disclose to any person or entity any such trade secret, confidential and/or proprietary information and, upon termination of my employment with GM, I shall return all documents or other materials containing such information to GM.

For a period of two years immediately following my voluntary termination of employment with GM or any of its subsidiaries, I will not, without the prior written consent of the GM Chief Executive Officer, engage in or perform any services of a similar nature to those I performed at GM for any other corporation or business engaged in the design, manufacture, development, promotion, sale, or financing of automobiles or trucks within North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia, or Europe in competition with GM, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any joint ventures to which GM or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is a party. If the terms of this paragraph are found by a court to be unenforceable due to the duration, products or territory covered, such court shall be authorized to interpret these terms in a manner that makes the paragraph enforceable within that particular jurisdiction. Further, I will not for a period of two years following my voluntary termination of employment with GM or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, knowingly, without the prior written consent of the Chairman of the GM Executive Compensation Committee, induce any of the employees of GM to leave the employ of GM for participation, directly or indirectly, with any existing or future business venture associated with me.

This Statement reaffirms that my employment is from month-to-month on a calendar month basis and I acknowledge GM retains the right in its discretion to increase or decrease my monthly compensation. The parties agree Michigan law applies to this Compensation Statement even if I am employed outside the state.

I agree that my job responsibilities with GM and a significant portion of my compensation are consideration for the confidentiality and non-compete agreements noted above. I acknowledge that my breach of the confidentiality or non-competition provisions of this agreement will cause irreparable harm to GM because of the weakened ability of GM to fairly compete and the inherent difficulty in quantifying the damage caused to GM from such breach. Such irreparable harm can and should be remedied by an injunction against me without any bond being required because any other potential remedy will not be as prompt, certain and full as is necessary to prevent such harm. I acknowledge that my breach of this non-compete agreement will cause GM a greater degree of harm than could be caused to me by living up to the terms because I am being compensated by GM at such a level so as to be able to sustain myself for the non-competition period and am also able to work in fields of business which are not competitive with GM, its affiliates or joint ventures. I further acknowledge that the non-competition provisions are reasonable in duration, geographical area and line of business.

Name: Frederick A. Henderson

By signing this compensation statement, I also acknowledge my responsibility to adhere to and believe I am in compliance with General Motors Corporation guidelines with respect to employee conduct as contained in the “Winning With Integrity – Our Values and Guidelines for Employee Conduct” materials. In addition, I agree that any award of cash, stock, stock options (or other compensation) made to me under any of the Corporation’s executive incentive compensation plans on or after January 1, 2007 or any unvested award previously granted is subject to recoupment by the Corporation in any situation where the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines that fraud, negligence, or intentional misconduct on my part was a significant contributing factor to the Corporation having to restate all or a portion of its financial statement(s). The determination regarding employee conduct and repayment under this provision shall be within the sole discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee of the General Motors Board of Directors and shall be final and binding on both parties to this Compensation Statement.

I acknowledge that, with the exception of the Agreements between General Motors Corporation and Frederick A. Henderson (RSU grants of June 6, 2000 and June 6, 2005), there are no other oral or written understandings or agreements in effect regarding my salary, nature or duration of employment, or the other matters set forth in this Compensation Statement.

No modification or amendment of this Compensation Statement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by both parties.

“Today marks a new beginning for General Motors, one that will allow every employee, including me, to get back to the business of designing, building and selling great cars and trucks and serving the needs of our customers,” said Fritz Henderson, president and CEO. “We are deeply appreciative for the support we have received during this historic transformation, and we will work hard to repay this trust by building a successful new General Motors.”

Created from the old GM’s strongest operations in an asset sale approved by the bankruptcy court on July 5, the new GM is built on:

•

Four core brands in the U.S. and the largest, strongest dealer network in the country,

•

A fresh lineup of Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC cars, trucks and crossovers, each with leading-edge designs and technologies that matter to both consumers and the environment,

•

A competitive cost structure, a cleaner balance sheet, and a stronger liquidity position that will enable GM to invest in new products, key technologies, and its future,

•

A winning culture focused on customers and products.

“One thing we have learned from the last 100 days is that GM can move quickly and decisively,” said Henderson. “Today, we take the intensity, decisiveness and speed of the past several months and transfer it from the triage of the bankruptcy process to the creation and operation of a new General Motors.

“Business as usual is over at GM,” said Henderson. “Today starts a new era for General Motors and everyone associated with the company. Going forward, the new General Motors is fully committed to listening to customers, responding to consumer and market trends, and empowering the people closest to the customer to make the decisions. Our goal is to build more of the cars, trucks, and crossovers that customers want, and to get them to market faster than ever before.”

Committed to great cars and trucks

The new General Motors launches with a clear and simple vision - to design, build and sell the best vehicles in the world.

“A successful auto company needs to focus on both the cost and the revenue sides of the business,” said Henderson. “Success on the revenue side means building the stylish, high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles that customers want - and getting them to market fast.”

Despite the recent downturn, GM has maintained its cadence of strong new products. In the U.S., for example, the Chevy Camaro has surged past its rivals to lead its segment, while the new Chevy Equinox, Cadillac SRX, and Buick LaCrosse are earning strong initial reviews. Later this year, the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon and GMC Terrain debut, followed next year by the Chevy Volt, Chevy Cruze and Cadillac CTS Coupe.

This emphasis on great new products is also reflected in the Chevy Agile now launching in Latin America, in the Chevy Cruze and Buick Excelle in Asia Pacific, and in the new Opel Astra in Europe.

Just last month, GM announced its intention to build a new small car at a plant in Orion Township, Michigan, which will add to GM’s growing portfolio of fuel-efficient cars and restore approximately 1,400 jobs.

GM also has moved aggressively to develop a full range of energy-saving technologies, including advanced internal combustion engines, biofuels, fuel cells, and hybrids. The company is also a leader in the development of extended-range electric vehicles, with its first model, the Chevy Volt, currently undergoing road testing and scheduled to launch in 2010. The new GM is also taking steps to make advanced battery development a core competency, and expects to make additional announcements on this matter late this summer.

“The success of our recent launches and the exciting new vehicles and technologies we have in the pipeline are evidence of our ongoing commitment to excel at everything we do,” said Henderson. “Our goal is to make each and every General Motors car, truck and crossover the best-in-class.”

Stronger brands and dealers

As part of its reinvention, the new GM has also focused its resources on four core brands and a stronger, more effective dealer network.

General Motors’ core brands - Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC - will have a total of just 34 U.S. nameplates by 2010. This emphasis on fewer, better entries will enable the new GM to put more resources into each nameplate, resulting in better products and stronger marketing.

In May, the company accelerated its dealer consolidation efforts, with the goal of reducing the number of GM dealers in the U.S. from 6,000 this spring to approximately 3,600 by the end of next year. Even so, GM will still have the largest dealer network in the U.S. and GM dealers have committed to continue to improve the total customer experience for GM customers.

“We’re also working on new ways to make car buying more convenient for our customers, including an innovative new partnership with eBay in California to revolutionize how people buy vehicles online,” Henderson said. “Customers will be able to bid on actual vehicles just like they do in an eBay auction, including the option of choosing a predetermined ‘buy it now’ price. We’ll be testing this and other ideas with our dealers over the next few weeks, and hope to expand and build upon them in the coming months. In all cases, our goal is to make the shopping and buying process as easy as possible for GM customers - - on their time and their terms. Stay tuned.”

A pledge to regain trust and confidence

General Motors Company is primarily owned by the governments of the United States, Canada and Ontario, and by a trust fund providing medical benefits to UAW retirees. Specifically, common stock will be owned by:

•

U.S. Department of the Treasury: 60.8 percent

•

UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust: 17.5 percent

•

Canada and Ontario governments: 11.7 percent

•

The old GM: 10 percent

“We are very appreciative of the support provided by the stakeholders through the transformation process. Though General Motors Company will not initially be publicly traded, we will be transparent in our financial and other reporting to further strengthen trust and confidence,” said Henderson. “We expect to take the company public again as soon as practical, starting next year, and to repay our government loans as soon as possible. We are required to pay off the loans by 2015, but our goal is to repay them much sooner.”

Stronger balance sheet

General Motors Company launches with a strong balance sheet, a competitive cost structure, and a strong cash position, enabling it to compete more effectively with both its U.S. and foreign-based competitors here in the U.S., and to continue its strong presence in growing global markets.

The new company acquired old GM’s strongest operations and will have a competitive operating cost structure, partly as a result of recent agreements with the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Canadian Auto Workers (CAW).

In the U.S., the new GM will be a far leaner company. By the end of 2010, the company will operate 34 assembly, powertrain, and stamping plants, down from 47 in 2008, and capacity utilization is expected to reach 100 percent during 2011. Overall U.S. employment will decline from about 91,000 at the end of 2008 to about 64,000 at the end of this year, creating a company sized to respond quickly to changes in the market, while still retaining the global scope necessary to develop world-class products and technologies.

The new GM will begin with a much stronger balance sheet, including U.S. debt of approximately $11 billion, which excludes preferred stock of $9 billion, and could change under fresh-start accounting. In total, obligations have been reduced by more than $40 billion, representing mostly unsecured debt and the VEBA trust fund that provides medical benefits to UAW retirees. The stronger balance sheet and lower break-even point will allow the new GM to reduce its risk, operate profitably at much lower volume levels, and reinvest in the business in the key areas of advanced technology and product development.

GM’s subsidiaries outside the United States were acquired by the new company and are expected to continue to operate normally without any interruption.

A new way of doing business

With the launch of the new General Motors, company leaders will work to change the culture of the company, making the speed and decisiveness that GM demonstrated over the past several months the new way of doing business, and adding an intensified focus on the customer.

Edward E. Whitacre, Jr., who oversaw the creation of the new AT&T, will serve as chairman of a GM board with a number of new directors. Henderson will continue as president and chief executive officer, working closely with Whitacre. He also will take responsibility for GM’s operations in North America, eliminating the GM North America president position.

To speed day-to-day decision-making, two senior leadership forums, the Automotive Strategy Board and Automotive Product Board, will be replaced by a single, smaller executive committee, which will meet more frequently and focus on business results, products, brands, and customers.

Bob Lutz has agreed to join the new GM as vice chairman responsible for all creative elements of products and customer relationships. Lutz and Tom Stephens, vice chairman, product development, will work together as a team, partnering with Ed Welburn, vice president of design, to guide all creative aspects of design. GM’s brands, marketing, advertising, and communications will report to Lutz for consistent messaging and results. He will report to Henderson, and be part of the newly formed executive committee.

“I am pleased to announce that we are ‘unretiring’ Bob Lutz so he can fill this important position in the new GM,” said Henderson. “He has a proven track record of unleashing creativity in the design and development of GM cars and trucks. This new role allows him to take that passion a step further, applying it to other parts of GM that connect directly with customers.”

General Motors will also end its regional operating structure, moving decisions closer to the customer. This eliminates the regional president positions and the regional strategy boards. Nick Reilly will be named executive vice president of GM International Operations (GMIO) which will be based in Shanghai.

GM is also removing layers of management - reducing the number of U.S. executives by 35 percent and overall U.S. salaried employment by 20 percent by the end of this year - flattening the organization and speeding decision making.

Additional details of the new structure and leadership moves will be communicated later this month, said Henderson. “These and other actions will simplify our organizational structure and reduce the level of bureaucracy that, in the past, has prevented GM from moving faster.”

More direct communications

Henderson also announced initiatives to open more direct communications between customers and GM employees at every level. “Beginning next week, we will launch a ‘Tell Fritz’ website where customers, or anyone else, can share ideas, concerns, and suggestions directly with senior management. I will personally review and respond to some of these communications every day.”

Henderson and other General Motors leaders will go on the road regularly to meet with consumers and others with a stake in the new GM. “In August, we’ll begin regular visits with customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and others - in the U.S. and abroad - who impact our relationships with customers. We’ll be listening to their ideas, and acting on the ones that will improve our ability to serve our customers better. And of course, other executives and I will continue to reach out to customers through our ongoing web and Twitter chats.

“Today we launch the new General Motors, and our promise is simple. We will be profitable, we will repay our loans as soon as possible, and our cars and trucks will be among the best in the world,” said Henderson. “We recognize that we’ve been given a rare second chance at GM, and we are very grateful for that. And we appreciate the fact that we now have the tools to get the job done.

“To our current customers, we appreciate the confidence that you have placed in us, and going forward, we’ll offer you nothing less than great cars, trucks and crossovers, with unmatched customer service. To those who have supported us through this challenging time, we are deeply grateful,” said Henderson. “And to those who have never tried a GM vehicle - or who have tried one and been disappointed - we look forward to the chance to win your business and earn your trust.”
