ITEM 4               OWNERSHIP.

(a)-(c)
                               Subject to the discussion below, as of December
                     31, 1999, the Committee may be deemed the beneficial owner,
                     on behalf of the Plan, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and
                     13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
                     (the "Act"), of a total of 77,073,652 shares of Common
                     Stock, representing approximately 16.4% of the shares of
                     Common Stock outstanding (based on the 470,781,539 shares
                     outstanding as of October 31, 1999 as reported in the
                     Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September
                     30, 1999), as to all of which shares the Committee may be
                     deemed to share the power to direct the voting or
                     disposition thereof.

                               The Committee is a named fiduciary (in accordance
                     with ERISA) of the Plan and in such capacity has and
                     exercises the power to appoint, and terminate the
                     appointment of, investment managers for holdings of
                     securities or other property contributed to the Plan by GM.
                     The Committee, as a named fiduciary for the Plan, has also
                     retained General Motors Investment Management Corporation
                     ("GMIMCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM that is
                     registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
                     as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
                     of 1940, as amended, to perform certain investment
                     management and administrative functions for the Plan,
                     including to appoint independent investment managers for
                     all other holdings of the Plan. GMIMCo has appointed
                     various independent investment managers for the Plan, some
                     of whom have authority to cause the Plan to acquire
                     publicly traded equity securities, including shares of
                     Common Stock.

                               Pursuant to appointment by the Committee, at
                     December 31, 1999, United States Trust Company of New York
                     ("U.S. Trust"), as trustee and investment manager, held and
                     had the power to vote and dispose of 77,073,652 shares of
                     Common Stock owned by the Plan, representing approximately
                     16.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                               Neither the Committee nor GMIMCo has directed
                     U.S. Trust with respect to the voting or the disposition or
                     continued ownership by the Plan of any shares of Common
                     Stock over which they had management. Although the
                     Committee does not exercise voting or dispositive powers
                     with respect to any shares of Common Stock owned by the
                     Plan, it may be deemed to be a beneficial owner, on behalf
                     of the Plan, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of
                     the Act of the shares of Common Stock held in trust and
                     managed for the Plan by U.S. Trust because it has the power
                     under certain circumstances to terminate within 60 days the
                     appointment of U.S. Trust as trustee and investment manager
                     for the Plan with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding
                     the foregoing, the filing of this statement is not an

                     Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, a beneficial owner of
                     any of the securities covered by this statement and such
                     beneficial ownership is disclaimed.
