Chrysler and Nissan Confirm OEM Product Agreement

Auburn Hills, Michigan (ots/PRNewswire) -

Chrysler LLC and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced an
agreement for Nissan to supply Chrysler with a new car for limited
distribution in South America. Based on the Nissan Versa sedan, the
new car will be supplied to Chrysler on an Original Equipment
Manufacture (OEM) basis in 2009.

The OEM supply agreement is the second product exchange between
the two corporations, with Nissan affiliate JATCO already supplying
Chrysler with transmissions since 2004.

"This kind of tactical partnership allows us to maximize product
offerings yet minimize costly investments -- such as new plant
infrastructure, tooling and R&D," said Chrysler LLC President and
Vice Chairman Tom LaSorda. "This partnership will give Chrysler
nearly immediate access to vehicle segments in which we do not
currently compete."

"Nissan has a successful track-record of win-win product exchanges
and we are pleased to be entering into this second agreement with
Chrysler," said Carlos Tavares, Executive Vice President, Nissan
Motor Company.

The two companies have also agreed to maintain an open dialogue to
explore further product-sharing opportunities.

Chrysler LLC, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Mich., produces
Chrysler, Jeep(R), Dodge and Mopar(R) brand vehicles and products.
Its product lineup features some of the world's most recognizable
vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Jeep Wrangler and Dodge
Charger. The Chrysler Foundation -- the primary source of charitable
grants made by Chrysler -- annually supports hundreds of charitable
organizations with an emphasis on community growth and enrichment,
education, arts and culture, public policy, youth development and
disaster relief programs throughout the United States and,
increasingly, the world. Chrysler is a unit of Cerberus Capital
Management.

Nissan Motor Company generated global net revenues of 10.468
trillion yen in 2006. Nissan is present in all major global auto
markets selling a comprehensive range of cars, pickup trucks, SUVs
and light commercial vehicles under the Nissan and Infiniti brands.

focus on long-term sustainable and profitable growth driven by three
commitments:

automakers
