The way I interpret the payoff is that GM used money given to it in exchange for stock to pay off a secured loan. Kind of like using a credit card to pay off a car loan so that if you were to have problems, you wouldn't lose the car. As the TARP money doesn't have intrest attached, and the loan presumably does, this makes economic sense.
