Avalanche; and 5) GMT 806: 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT.

Plaintiffs have insisted that General Motors produce specific

documents in connection with all seating positions for all vehicles

within the vehicle scope regardless of whether they involve the

same retractor manufacturer or design.

General Motors continues to maintain that the previously

defined vehicle scope is correct. However, in the spirit of

cooperation, General Motors voluntarily agrees to produce certain

documents for all seating positions for all vehicles that are

within the following revised vehicle scope (the GMT 800 based

vehicle was introduced in the 1999 model year): GMT 820: 2000-2006

Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade; 2) GMT 830: 2000-

2006 Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade ESV; 3)

GMT 880/800 crew cab pickups: 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC

Sierra; 4) GMT 805: 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche; and 5) GMT 806:

2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade EXT. The documents that General Motors

will produce in connection with the revised vehicle scope are as

follows:

• List of lawsuits and Not-In-Suit Matters (“NISMS”) in

which allegations of personal injury related to alleged

binding or jamming of seatbelt webbing, or failures to

retract into the retractor have been made.

• Customer Assistance Center (“CAC”) documents in which

allegations of binding or jamming of seatbelt webbing, or

failures to retract into the retractor have been made.

These documents would include certain non-privileged

portions of Product Allegation Resolution (“PAR”) files;

Reports of Preliminary Investigations (“1241's”); and

Owner Complaints.

• Technical Assistance Center (“TAC”) reports, including

field reports, in which allegations of binding or jamming

of seatbelt webbing, or failures to retract into the

retractor have been made.

2. Consumer Contact Information

consumer identified on the list of lawsuits and Not-In-Suit-Matter

(“NISM”), to the extent that such information is in General Motors’

possession.

3. Deposition of Gay Kent

General Motors voluntarily agrees to produce Gay Kent for

deposition with regard to NHTSA Recall Campaign I.D. Number

05V163000. The deposition will take place at 50 West Big Beaver

Road, Suite 200, Troy, Michigan 48084 on a mutually convenient

date.

Responses and to Produce Gay Kent for Deposition shall be withdrawn
