Upon receipt of a timely Proof of Claim, General Motors shall issue to each Settlement Class member for each GM Pickup Truck owned a Certificate toward the purchase of any new and unused GM light-duty truck or automobile, including Chevrolet, Geo, GMC Truck, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac models (excluding Saturn or electric powered vehicle, specifically, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile or Pontiac) (“New GM Vehicles”). Certificates for Consumers may be used by the Consumer or any parent, child, sibling or spouse of the Consumer, who is residing within the same household as the Consumer at the time the Certificate is used. Consumers’ Certificates may be applied to the purchase of a New GM Vehicle at any time within 33 months after the date notice of final court approval of the settlement is mailed (“Consumer Redemption Period”). Consumer Certificates will be usable for $1,000 toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle during the first 15 months of the Consumer Redemption Period. The Consumer Certificate shall be freely transferable to any purchaser of the GM Pickup Truck identified on the Consumer Certificate, except an authorized General Motors dealer or its affiliated entities during the first 15 months. It may be used by the transferee as it would be used by the Consumer, provided the transferee is the current owner of the GM Pickup Truck at the time and provides proof of current ownership (registration or title). The Consumer Certificate is usable for $500 toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle during the final 18 months of the Consumer Redemption Period when used by the Consumer named on the Certificate. During the final 18 months of the Consumer Redemption Period, the Consumer Certificates shall be freely transferable following endorsement by the Consumer and are usable for $250 toward the purchase of any New GM Vehicle by the transferee, except it may not be used by a General Motors dealer or its affiliate to purchase any vehicle from General Motors. Certificates for Fleets and Governmental Entities may be applied by the Fleet or Governmental Entity toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle at any time within 50 months after the date notice of final court approval of the settlement is mailed (hereafter the “Fleet or Governmental Entity Redemption Period”). This Fleet or Governmental Entity Certificate is usable by the Fleet or Governmental Entity named on the Certificate for $1,000 towards the purchase of a New GM Vehicle during the first 15 months of the Fleet or Governmental Entity Redemption Period. The Fleet or Governmental Entity Certificate shall be freely transferable to any purchaser of the GM Pickup Truck identified on the Fleet or Governmental Entity Certificate, except an authorized General Motors dealer or its affiliated entities during the first 15 months. It may be used by the transferee as it would be used by the Fleet or Governmental Entity, provided the transferee is the current owner of the GM Pickup Trick at the time and provides proof of current ownership (registration or title). The Fleet or Governmental Entity Certificate is usable by the Fleet or Governmental Entity named on the Certificate for $250 toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle during the final 35 months of the Fleet or Governmental Entity Redemption Period. Government Entity Certificates may be used by any other department or divisions of that Governmental Entity. Alternatively, Consumers, Fleets and Governmental Entities may sell or transfer their interest in any or all of their Certificates without the sale of the GM Pickup Truck. In the event of such a sale or transfer, each Certificate may be exchanged for a “Third Party Certificate,” which shall be issued in the name of the person or entity designated. This Third Party Certificate may be used for the unexpired portion of the first 15 months of any Redemption Period and is not transferable further. Any time that elapses between submission of a request for a Third Party Certificate and the issuance shall be excluded from the unexpired portion of the first 15 months. The party designated on the Third Party Certificate may use it for $500 towards the purchase of any New GM Vehicle from an authorized dealer of that line and make, except that when used, at the user’s election, with any rebate and/or discount it may be used for $250 toward the purchase of any New GM Vehicle. Settlement Class members are not required to disclose their intention to use a Certificate toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle until they have made their best deal with the dealer. The Certificates may be used in addition to any incentives otherwise available to the purchaser at the time of the purchase of a New GM Vehicle, except for the Third Party Certificates as explained above. If a New Vehicle is ordered by any Certificate holder from an authorized GM dealer during the applicable Redemption Period, but General Motors is unable to deliver the vehicle within that period, the Certificate will be honored at the time of delivery of that New GM Vehicle. Only one (1) Certificate of any kind may be applied toward the purchase of each New GM Vehicle. A Certificate may only be used toward the purchase of a New GM Vehicle from an authorized General Motors dealer of that line and make. Any Certificate may be used toward the down payment on the purchase. Certificates may not be used toward the rental or lease of New GM Vehicles. No Trade-in of a GM Pickup Truck is required to purchase a New GM Vehicle with the use of a Certificate. No Certificates of any kind may be used by any authorized General Motors dealer or its affiliated entities toward the purchase of any vehicle from General Motors, and during the first 15 months of any Redemption Period, no Certificates may be transferred to any authorized General Motors dealer or its affiliated entities except for purposes of redemption. A Research Project will be established to research, develop and implement feasible and practical means to enhance fuel system safety for motor vehicles, in order to reduce the of injuries and deaths resulting from post-collision fires in existing vehicles and future designs. General Motors will fund the Research Project with $4.1 million over three years. The Research Project will be administered by an independent trustee. ADDITIONAL DETAILS(page 2 of 2).
