formed under and for the benefit of one or more employee benefit plans ("Plans")
of  General Motors Corporation ("GM"), its subsidiaries and unrelated employers.
GMIMCo  is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
of  1940.  Its  principal business is providing investment advice and investment
management  services  with  respect  to  the  assets of the Plans and of certain
direct  and  indirect  subsidiaries  of  GM  and other entities.  The Trusts and
GMIMCo  are  referred  to  herein  as  the  "Reporting  Persons."

GMIMCo  has  the responsibility to select and terminate investment managers with
respect  to  the Plans.  It also itself manages certain assets of the Plans. One
investment  manager acting with respect to the Plans is Aldrich Eastman & Waltch
(the  "Manager").  GMIMCo  and the Manager have discretionary authority over the
assets of the Plans which they manage including voting and investment power with
respect  to  securities  of  the  Issuer included among such assets.  In view of
GMIMCo's  management  of  certain  assets of the Plans and GMIMCo's authority to
terminate  the  Manager,  the  following  information  is  being  provided as of

or unrelated investment managers, who, in so acting, act independently of GMIMCo
(although  the  appointment  of  such  investment  managers  is  subject  to
authorization  of  and  termination  by  GMIMCo  as noted above). No information
