3. Employee stock option granted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 qualified General Motors Stock Incentive Plan. The options are performance contingent stock options. The stock option contingently vests on March 5, 2009 followed by a four year performance period (March 5, 2009 - March 5, 2013). The stock options contain a single performance trigger which will vest all options if the price of General Motors common stock is equal to or greater than $40 during any 10 day period during any 30 day trading period commencing after March 5, 2009. Once the performance requirement is met, the options become exercisable at any time through the seventh anniversary of the option grant (March 5, 2015). After exercise, net shares must be held for two years while an active employee. If the performance trigger is not met by the fifth anniversary of the stock option grant (March 5, 2013), the stock option will expire.
