1 Instructions For Filing a Claim With The CLAIM FORM & DECLARATION MLC Asbestos PI TRUST (the Claim Form ), is required of all Injured Parties filing a claim with the MLC ASBESTOS PI TRUST (the Trust ). These instructions are intended to summarize certain significant issues related to filing a personal injury claim with the Trust. Nothing in these instructions is intended to replace or modify the requirements of the MLC Asbestos PI Trust Distribution Procedures ("TDP"). All claimants are encouraged to thoroughly read and understand the TDP before filing a claim with the Trust. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Instructions shall have the meanings assigned in the TDP. Submitting a Completed Claim to the Trust: Claimants must complete the Claim Form as thoroughly and accurately as possible. All applicable questions must be answered. To submit a valid personal injury claim, a claimant must provide: A completed Claim Form; and A medical diagnosis of a compensable disease; and Evidence of exposure to an asbestos-containing Old GM 1 product with the dates of commencement and termination of such exposure. If applicable, a claimant must also provide: A death certificate for the Injured Party; A Certificate of Official Capacity or other estate documentation if applicable per state law; and/or Documentation of Economic Loss Claim Form Part 1: INJURED PARTY INFORMATION 1.1: Review the definitions of both claim types before checking the appropriate box as to whether the claim is asserted to be an Auto Mechanic Claim or an Other Claim. Section 5.3(i) of the TDP defines these claims types as follows: Auto Mechanic Claim- In order for a claimant to qualify as an auto mechanic under this TDP, said claimant must have worked professionally as a mechanic in the automotive servicing and repair industry performing work on General Motors marine engines, brakes and/or clutches on cars, trucks, buses, or other vehicles. This work typically would have involved changing brakes and brake pads as well as clutches and clutch facings or other similar General Motors friction products such as Electo- Motive railroad friction products. Also included under this definition of auto mechanic are individuals who worked alongside such brake mechanics, but in another capacity, including but not limited to those individuals working in said industry as body repairmen, parts department employees, or persons who cleaned up the facilities where such brake and clutch work was done. Other Claim- Claims held by persons other than auto mechanics, including but not limited to shade tree mechanics, automobile hobbyists, individuals who occasionally performed brake and/or clutch work on their own vehicles and/or the vehicles of friends and neighbors, or any other individuals who were not regularly employed as professional auto mechanics. 1 Old GM means Motors Liquidation Company (f/k/a General Motors Corporation; MLC of Harlem, Inc. (f/k/a Chevrolet-Saturn of Harlem, Inc.); MLCS, LLC (f/k/a Saturn, LLC); MLCS Distribution Corporation (f/k/a Saturn Distribution Corporation); Remediation and Liability Management Company, Inc.; and Environmental Corporate Remediation Company, Inc. 1
2 Instructions For Filing a Claim With 1.2: Provide the full name, social security number and date of birth of the injured party for whom the claim is being filed. If the injured party is living and not represented by counsel, please provide current contact information. 1.3: Check the appropriate box indicating whether the injured party is living. If the injured party is deceased, provide the Date of Death and indicate whether the injured party's death was asbestos-related. If applicable, please provide the full name and contact information of the Official Representative as well as a description of the Official Representative's relationship to the injured party. Additionally, provide one of the following if required by state law; Certificate of Official Capacity Other applicable document authorizing a person to act of behalf of the Injured Party 1.4: Provide the injured party s law firm contact information, including firm name, attorney name, , and phone number, paralegal/administrative assistant name, , phone number and address. 1.5: Check the appropriate box. Pursuant to Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) of the TDP, a claimant may elect to submit a claim for either Expedited Review (ER) or Individual Review (IR). The ER process is designed primarily to provide an expeditious, efficient and inexpensive method for liquidating all categories of PI Trust claims (except those involving Lung Cancer 2 and all Foreign Claims). ER is a method of review intended for claims that can be easily verified by the Trust as meeting the presumptive Medical/Exposure criteria for the relevant disease level. ER will provide qualifying claimants fixed claims payment subject to the Payment Percentage. Accordingly, ER provides claimants with a substantially less burdensome process for pursuing PI Trust claims than the IR process described below and in Section 5.3(b) of the TDP. Alternatively, a claimant may elect to have a claim undergo the IR process if the claim does not meet presumptive Medical/Exposure criteria for any of the Disease Levels in TDP Section 5.3 or to determine whether the liquidated claims value exceeds the Scheduled Value. The IR Process provides the claimant with an opportunity for individual consideration and evaluation of the Medical/Exposure information submitted as well as the liquidated value of the claim. The IR process is intended to result in payments equal to the liquidated value for each claim multiplied by the Payment Percentage; however, the liquidated value of any PI Trust claim that undergoes IR may be determined to be less than the claimant would have received under ER. Because the detailed examination and valuation process related to IR requires substantial time and effort, claimants electing to undergo the IR process will ordinarily have a longer waiting period for payment than would have been the case had the claimants elected the ER process. Foreign Claim should be checked if the claimant s exposure to an asbestos-containing product or conduct for which Old GM has legal responsibility occurred outside of the United States and its Territories and Possessions, and outside of the Provinces and Territories of Canada. 2
3 Instructions For Filing a Claim With Claim Form Part 2: DIAGNOSED DISEASE Check only the box identifying the highest Disease Level for which the injured party has been diagnosed and provide the first date of diagnosis for the Disease Level claimed. Section 5.3 of the TDP states: The proof of claim form shall require the claimant to assert his or her claim for the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing. Irrespective of the Disease Level alleged on the proof of claim form, all claims shall be deemed to be a claim for the highest Disease Level for which the claim qualifies at the time of filing, and all lower Disease Levels for which the claim may also qualify at the time of filing or in the future shall be treated as subsumed into the higher Disease Level for both processing and payment purposes. Medical Evidence All diagnoses of a Disease Level shall be accompanied by either (i) a statement by the physician providing the diagnosis that at least ten (10) years have elapsed between the date of first exposure to asbestos or asbestoscontaining products and the diagnosis, or (ii) a history of the claimant s exposure sufficient to establish a 10- year latency period. A finding by a physician after the Effective Date (March 31, 2011) that a claimant s disease is consistent with or compatible with asbestosis shall not alone be treated by the Trust as a diagnosis. Unacceptable Doctors and Medical Facilities The Trust must have reasonable confidence that the medical evidence provided in support of the claim is credible and consistent with recognized medical standards. The Trust has determined, based on currently available information, that medical reports or medical evidence from certain doctors and medical facilities may not meet the reliability standards of this section. Accordingly, until further notice, the Trust will not accept medical reports and/or medical evidence from the following doctors and medical facilities: Dr. James Ballard, Dr. Kevin Cooper (of Pascagoula, Mississippi), Dr. Todd Coulter, Dr. Andrew Harron, Dr. Ray Harron, Dr. Glynn Hilbun, Dr. Barry Levy, Dr. George Martindale, Dr. Gregory Nayden, Dr. W. Allen Oaks, Netherland & Mason, Inc., Respiratory Testing Services, Inc. and Occupational Diagnostics. Medical/Exposure Criteria Level I: Asbestosis/Pleural Disease: (1) Diagnosis of a Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease 2, and (2) six months Debtor Exposure (as defined in Section 5.7(b)(3) of the TDP) prior to December 31, 1982, and (3) five years cumulative occupational exposure to asbestos. 2 Evidence of Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, for purposes of meeting the criteria for establishing Disease Levels I, II, IV, and VI, means either (i) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader of 1/0 or higher on the ILO scale or (ii)(x) a chest X-ray read by a qualified B reader or other Qualified Physician, (y) a CT scan read by a Qualified Physician, or (z) pathology, in each case showing either bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification. Evidence submitted to demonstrate (i) or (ii) above must be in the form of a written report stating the results (e.g., an ILO report, a written radiology report or a pathology report). Solely for asbestos claims filed against a Debtor or another defendant in the tort system prior to the Commencement Date (as defined herein in footnote 4), if an ILO reading is not available, either (i) a chest X-ray or a CT scan read by a Qualified Physician, or (ii) pathology, in each case showing bilateral interstitial fibrosis, bilateral pleural plaques, bilateral pleural thickening, or bilateral pleural calcification consistent with or compatible with a diagnosis of asbestos-related disease, shall be evidence of a Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease for purposes of meeting the presumptive medical requirements of Disease Levels I, II, IV and VI. Pathological proof of asbestosis may be based on the pathological grading system for asbestosis described in the Special Issue of the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Asbestos-associated Diseases, Vol. 106, No. 11, App. 3 (October 8, 1982). For all purposes of the TDP, a Qualified Physician is a physician who is board-certified (or in the case of Canadian Claims or Foreign Claims, a physician who is certified or qualified under comparable medical standards or criteria of the jurisdiction in question) in one or more relevant specialized fields of medicine such as pulmonology, radiology, internal medicine or occupational medicine; provided, however, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, that the requirement for board certification in this provision shall not apply to otherwise qualified physicians whose X-ray and/or CT scan readings are submitted for deceased holders of PI Trust Claims. 3
4 Instructions For Filing a Claim With Level II: Asbestosis/Pleural Disease: (1) Diagnosis of Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, plus (a) TLC less than 80%, or (b) FVC less than 80% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater than or equal to 65%, and (2) six months Debtor Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the pulmonary disease in question. Level III: Severe Asbestosis: (1) Diagnosis of asbestosis with ILO of 2/1 or greater, or asbestosis determined by pathological evidence of asbestos, plus (a) TLC less than 65%, or (b) FVC less than 65% and FEV1/FVC ratio greater than 65%, (2) six months Debtor Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure 3 to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the pulmonary disease in question. Level IV: Other Cancer: (1) Diagnosis of a primary colo-rectal, laryngeal, esophageal, pharyngeal, or stomach cancer, plus evidence of an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, (2) six months Debtor Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the other cancer in question. Level V: Lung Cancer 2: (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer; (2) Debtor Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, and (3) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the lung cancer in question. Lung Cancer 2 (Level V) claims are claims that do not meet the more stringent medical and/or exposure requirements of Lung Cancer 1 (Level VI) claims. All claims in this Disease Level shall be individually evaluated. The estimated likely average of the individual evaluation awards for this category is $16,000 for Auto Mechanic Claims and $2,500 for Other Claims, with such awards capped at $40,000 for Auto Mechanic Claims and $15,000 for Other Claims unless the claim qualifies for Extraordinary Claim treatment. Level V claims that show no evidence of either an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease or Significant Occupational Exposure may be individually evaluated, although it is not expected that such claims shall be treated as having any significant value, especially if the claimant is also a Smoker. In any event, no presumption of validity shall be available for any claims in this category. Level VI: Lung Cancer 1 : (1) Diagnosis of a primary lung cancer plus evidence of an underlying Bilateral Asbestos-Related Nonmalignant Disease, (2) six months Debtor Exposure prior to December 31, 1982, (3) Significant Occupational Exposure to asbestos, and (4) supporting medical documentation establishing asbestos exposure as a contributing factor in causing the lung cancer in question. Level VII: Mesothelioma: (1) Diagnosis of mesothelioma; and (2) Debtor Exposure. 3 The term Significant Occupational Exposure is defined in Section 5.7(b)(2) of the TDP. 4
