RELEASE AGREEMENT

Barbara A. Yastine and Ally Financial Inc. have reached the following Release Agreement. In this Release Agreement, "Employee" refers to Barbara A. Yastine, and "Company" refers to Ally Financial Inc., its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions, predecessors and successors, joint ventures, employee benefit plans, directors, officers, agents, employees, and assigns, including but not limited to IB Finance Holding Company, LLC and Ally Bank.

WHEREAS Company and Employee have decided it is in their best interest to terminate their employment relationship according to the terms set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

1. Provided that this signed and notarized document is received by James J. Duffy, Ally Financial Inc. Group Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, no later than March 31, 2015 and not revoked in accordance with Paragraph 18, Employee’s termination of employment will be reflected as a Mutually Satisfactory Separation effective June 19, 2015. Until then, effective on the date the seven (7) day revocation period referred to in Paragraph 18 of this Release Agreement expires, Employee will resign from her positions as Chairperson, CEO, and President of Ally Bank, and all related board positions, and commence a transitional assignment as an advisor to the Company CEO and Board of Directors as requested. Except as required to perform such requested tasks, Employee shall have no obligation to be present in Company’s business offices. During this transition, she will receive cash compensation equal to her 2014 total direct compensation rate of $425,000 per month (“Transition Compensation Rate”)

and remain eligible for all the benefits to which other active Company employees are eligible and subject to all the terms and conditions of employment to which other active Company employees are subject.

2. The Company and Employee have agreed on the wording of the announcement of Employee’s separation, which has been appended to this Release Agreement as Exhibit 1. The parties agree that the public disclosure and discussion about Employee’s employment and separation will be consistent with this announcement.

3. Employee agrees that the separation status, compensation, and consideration referred to in Paragraph 1 are more than the Company is required to provide under its normal policies and procedures. Employee agrees to remain actively employed in good standing and meet the specific objectives required of her transitional assignment until June 19, 2015. Notwithstanding the above, if Employee wishes to terminate her employment prior to June 19, 2015, she will provide the Company with two (2) weeks advance notice, at which point the Company may agree to a new separation date and pay Employee her Transition Compensation Rate (but no benefits) as if she remained employed through June 19, 2015. If the Company does not agree to the new separation date, which agreement will not be unreasonably withheld, Employee’s separation will be deemed a Voluntarily Resignation effective two (2) weeks from the date of her notice, and Employee will forfeit any right to continued payment of the Transition Compensation Rate or Company benefits under this Release Agreement as of her separation date. Under either scenario, the release language contained in Paragraph 4 will remain in full force and effect.
