Specifically, it provides guidance on finishes, furnishings, lighting, and the proper use of the branded design elements for both the interior and exterior of the facility. These elements were targeted and approved during your site-specific Facility Image Consultation. They are crucial improvements to help the Chevrolet retail network align to the revitalized brand strategy and changing customer expectations. The site-specific drawings are meant only to communicate design intent for your facility. They are not intended for the purpose of planning review, the permit application process, pricing or construction. It is expected that licensed professionals will review the compliance of final work with local building ordinances, fire regulations, ADA regulations, and all other pertinent codes. Each site-specific drawing is marked with a version number. You can use that information to track modifications over the course of project execution. This DID is valid for the application of Chevrolet program standards at your site. Any updates due to process improvement or decisions by channel design groups will be made available online at www.gmfacilityimage.com This DID was produced by Gensler in our capacity as program manager for the implementation of GM Facility Image (GMFI) programs across all GM brands and channels. One Woodward, Suite 601 Detroit, MI 48226 313.965.1600 1-4 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 Next Steps: Construction Document Requirements This DID represents a conceptual design for a GM Facility Image program compliant facility. It will provide the dealer’s Architect of Record a basis for producing Construction Documents (CDs) for this facility. General Motors requires that all dealers in the General Motors Facility Image Program submit Construction Documents to Gensler for review prior to the start of their facility construction. What is Required: The following items, inclusive of all required elements described in the DID and Verification Report, must be included in the Construction Document submittal: 1. Electronic Portable Document (.PDF) Files of the Architectural and Civil Engineering sheets, as described below. Note that Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical Engineering drawings are not required. • Site Plan: This plan must show where expansion or alteration to the building footprint is proposed. Include property lines, setbacks, walks, curb cuts and parking lot striping, and locate signage, customer parking, customer site entrance, and service entrance. • Floor Plan: The plan must be dimensioned with room names and room numbers. Indicate areas of built-in millwork. If millwork or fixtures are to be purchased through a 3rd party vendor (such as DCI Marketing, Blair Companies, etc.), note accordingly. • Floor Finish Plan: Indicate the flooring pattern, call out flooring materials and locate floor transitions. This plan may be combined with the room finish plan. All materials and finishes must be called out on drawings - notes such as “GMFI finishes per DID package” are not acceptable call-outs. • Reflected Ceiling Plan and Lighting Specification: Indicate ceiling types, ceiling finishes, and tag light fixture locations. Provide a schedule of light fixture types and light fixture specifications. Submit manufacturer cut sheets of all light fixtures with submittal for review. • Finish Schedule/Material Finish Legend Specification: Provide schedule of finishes used including manufacturer, product line, product number, color, size, etc. This may be combined with the floor finish plan and exterior elevations. All materials and finishes must be called out on drawings - notes such as “GMFI finishes per DID package” are not acceptable call-outs. If alternate materials from the DID selections are specified, submit samples to Gensler for review. 1-5 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 The GMFI Process • Interior Elevations and Details: Dimensioned interior wall elevations and details, with materials and finishes noted. All materials and finishes must be tagged/called out on drawings - notes such as “GMFI finishes per DID package” are not acceptable callouts. If program-required millwork (Greeter Desk, Cashier Desk, Hospitality Counter, TV / Media Wall, Retail Parts Display, etc.) is to be constructed by the contractor (i.e., not purchased through an approved vendor) or is existing and to be refinished, elevations and details of these items are required. • Exterior Elevations and Sections: Provide dimensioned exterior wall elevations for the entire facility, and provide sections where appropriate. Note all materials and signage. Note all vendorpurchased items (e.g., Entry Element, Signage). All materials and finishes must be called out on drawings - notes such as “GMFI finishes per DID package” are not acceptable call-outs. • Furniture/Fixture Plan and Furniture Specification: Provide a plan showing the locations of all required furniture and fixtures (e.g., Brand-Focused Merchandise, Logo Screens, etc.).Include a furniture schedule that indicates manufacturer, model number/style and finish material description of intended furniture. For all intended furniture, provide manufacturer photos/brochures and finish material photos. 2. Include complete Construction Specifications if necessary to review materials and finishes. If alternate materials are specified, submit samples to Gensler for review. 3. If applicable, provide an itemized list of Approved Exceptions. Gensler will not review the submittal if exceptions are pending with General Motors. 4. If applicable, provide a list of any element(s) of the proposed facility design that differs from the issued DID configuration including plan layout, wall elevations, finish substitutions and alternate furniture selections. Note that if the Entry Element is to be field-fabricated by the dealer’s contractor, the dealer must provide plans, elevations, and sections with dimensions and noting all finish (ACM) materials. Field-fabricated entry elements will be evaluated by the same standards as vendor-provided entry elements. 1-6 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 How to Submit: Construction Document submittals must be emailed to gmfi_cdreview@gensler.com Any other type of submission will not be accepted and will not be returned. Do not send hardcopy printouts, compact discs, USB storage devices, or anything other than an email. All emails must have the BAC Number and Dealership Name in the email subject line. Gensler’s incoming email capacity is 8MB. Emails larger than this will be rejected by the email server. If the submittal is larger than 8MB, separate it into multiple emails to ensure receipt and indicate in the email subject line (e.g., 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc.). Please be sure to add gmfi_cd-review@gensler.com to your address book to ensure that your email server does not treat Gensler responses as spam. What Happens After I Submit? Submittals take up to 10 business days to review. Gensler recommends that CD submittals be completed as soon as is feasible, and that complete submittals be transmitted for review well in advance of EBE deadlines. Since dealer CD submissions are at a higher volume at the end of each EBE quarter, the review process typically takes longer during these times. To avoid the possibility of jeopardizing EBE compliance, do not wait until the final days of the quarter to submit drawings. Upon completion of the construction document review, Gensler will send an email stating whether or not the submitted documents are in compliance with the Design Intent Document and the current GMFI Program requirements. If the drawings are compliant, the dealer may proceed with the start of construction. If the drawings are noncompliant, dealer will be required to revise non-compliant items and resubmit construction documents for an additional review. An itemized checklist based on the verification report will be included to identify compliant and non-compliant elements. Gensler will review the initial submittal and up to two additional resubmittals to correct non-compliant issues. Any further submissions will be charged as an hourly service, invoiced to the dealer’s BARS account. 1-7 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 The GMFI Process Please Note: • Gensler will not review incomplete, preliminary, schematic design, design development or any other type of in-progress documentation sets. Only 100% complete construction documents meeting the criteria above will be reviewed for image compliance. • The CD submittal must meet the criteria of the latest DID version available at the time of CD review. The latest version of the DID and Verification Report are available via General Motor’s GlobalConnect interface. • The GMFI review is only for image compliance, i.e. conformance with the visual and aesthetic design concept as expressed in the DID and by the GMFI Program. It will not consider technical construction details, suitability, costs, and/or code and zoning issues. Gensler’s action on a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component, nor of an item as delivered and installed if it does not conform to the DID and the GMFI Program. • The dealer, not Gensler or General Motors, is responsible for errors and omissions in the CD submittal and overall conformance with all requirements of the DID and the GMFI Program. • The CD submittal shall not be used as a substitute for the GMFI Exceptions Process. Verification Requirements Once Construction Documents have been approved, the project moves into the Verification phase. There are three ‘gates’ for Facility Image program compliance in this phase: Start of Construction, Mid-Point of Construction and Construction Complete. At each gate, the dealer must work with his Zone Manager to gather and submit evidence of compliance. Start of Construction Two of these seven items are required: 1. Photo with date stamp of major excavation (footings, site utilities, etc.) 2. Photo with date stamp of major exterior building demolition (fascia removal, roof and wall demolition, entrance reconfiguration) 1-8 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 3. Photo with date stamp of major interior building demolition(floor tile removal, partition/ceiling removal,interior barricades, etc) 4. Copy of Building Permit issued by city 5. Copy of signed Contract for Construction showing contractor’s determination of cost of project 6. Photo with date stamp of significant building materials stored on site 7. Copy of P.O. or shipping invoice for long-lead items (glass doors, elevators, ACM) Mid-Point of Construction At this stage, the dealer must submit a copy of an approved electrical permit. Alternatively, the dealer may submit evidence of an electrical inspector’s visit. Construction Complete Upon completion of new or renovated dealerships enrolled in the GM Facility Image Program, Gensler has been authorized to notify General Motors that the completed facility is in compliance with the mandated Facility Image. To expedite this final verification process Gensler requests that GM dealers provide the information listed below: 1. Certificate of Occupancy/Temporary Permit approving dealer to perform customary business at the completed location. 2. Digital photographs (see required list on gmfacilityimage.com) provided on a compact disc. Note: This disc will not be returned. Each photograph must be of adequate file size and resolution to clearly describe the facility. Typically, each image should be a minimum of 150 kilobytes. 3. A .pdf copy of the floor plan of the building with a layout of all furniture, as installed. 4. .jpg or .pdf copies of color cut sheets of the furniture with full specifications, product numbers and manufacturers names, along with finish and upholstery images. 5. Specifications of the actual furnishings and finishes included in the facility, including manufacturer, model, product number and finish. 6. Detailed photographs of all building finishes, samples of furniture finishes, including laminates, woods, and fabrics. 1-9 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 The GMFI Process All information must be shipped via a verifiable/trackable overnight delivery service. The package should include a contact name, office telephone number, mobile telephone number, and email address should Gensler need to contact someone for additional information. Gensler will not accept any electronic mail (email) files, hard copy photographs, etc. CD(s) are required for compliance purposes. Ship to: Gensler One Woodward Avenue, Suite 601 Detroit, MI 48226 Attn: GMFI Verification Team Gensler will review the submitted materials and provide the completed Verification Report, color copies of the photographs formatted and printed from the provided CD, and a copy of the Dealer-provided Certificate of Occupancy to General Motors advising them of facility image compliance or non-compliance. In all cases, final approval of a GM facility is the responsibility of GM. After reviewing Gensler’s evaluation, GM will notify dealers in writing of compliance or non-compliance. If the submitted information and photographs do not clearly present the complete facility adequately for review and verification, additional information may be requested. A complete list of required photographs to be included on the Verification CD may be found on www.gmfacilityimage.com. 1-10 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 GMFI/Gensler Sustainable Design Intent The incorporation of sustainable building design strategies affords building owners opportunities to reduce the cost of building operations, extend the long-term performance of their facilities, improve the indoor health and safety of the building and its occupants, and reduce the impact of building construction and operation on the surrounding environment. Other benefits (e.g., tax subsidies, utility rebates, and general goodwill within dealers’ communities) may also be available and depend on the locale of construction. There are several nationally recognized sustainable design certification programs for which dealers’ facility projects may be eligible. The choice of which program, and to which level of certification or compliance is achieved, should be made by individual dealers with the assistance of their architects and design/engineering/construction professionals. The United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program is a prominent sustainable design certification program. LEED has been widely adopted by municipalities, institutions, and corporations across the country. Dealers who are interested in pursuing LEED certification through the USGBC can find detailed information at: http://www.usgbc.org Contact information for LEED-accredited professionals with experience in the execution of sustainable design projects can be found at: http://www.usgbc.org/myUSGBC/Members/MembersDirectory.aspx. There are many elements of facility design that affect operational costs and environmental impact. The most impactful strategies are those that reduce energy consumption and the maintenance required for energy systems. Efficient and effective dealership lighting strategies also play a key role, and these have the added benefit of improving vehicle merchandising. The interior lighting program compiled by the Gensler Facility Image Team in this document is intended to guide projects toward the realization of these benefits. 1-11 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 Gensler has provided material and product specifications for the Chevrolet facility image program. These specifications identify specific manufacturers and providers whose products and materials offer both superior performance and sustainable design benefits. These are part of the approved FF&E packages for all of the new branded retail environments. Each of the selections and sources were evaluated on the following criteria: • Commercial quality and durability suitable for long-term use, based on best practices in the automotive and commercial interior industries • Sustainable practices, production techniques and recycled content • Sourcing accessibility by local providers and support through nationally distributed manufacturers Sustainable design practices carefully incorporated into facility improvements will deliver a better facility for the dealer’s bottom line, establish the dealer’s environmental leadership in their communities, and improve dealership environments for customers and staff.

Pattison Sign Group must coordinate final approval and installation of all signs. Customer Parking While exact layout will vary, all Chevrolet facilities must accommodate an identified customer parking area which is oriented toward the front entrance or in as close proximity to the front entrance as possible. Special emphasis should be placed on locally ADA-compliant parking placed as close to the main entrance as possible. 2-12 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 4 3 1 5 2 6 8 7 1.

Properly Identified Customer Parking 2-13 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 Vehicle Visibility Requirements The required facility image condition is for customers to have unobstructed views of GM vehicles and brand entry elements. This is a key component of customers’ arrival and entry experience at the dealer’s facility. This applies to both walk-up approaches to the store (including views from the exterior into the store), and upon passage through the customer entrance into the showroom interior. An additional desirable condition is for potential customers driving past stores to enjoy views of vehicles through showroom glass during the day and evening. Stores must refrain from placing sales workstations and other large fixed furniture (other than greeter desks) within 20 feet of customer entry elements or in places that block the customer’s views of vehicles. Posters, sales materials, and the like should not be affixed to the glass or glass doors. Exterior glass must be “clear”- that is, non-tinted in terms of glass color, without interior blinds, drapes, etc along the interior. There must not be darkening or opaqueing film applied to showroom glass. Solar fabric mechanical shades on the interior side of glass may be proposed by dealers only in cases of extreme sun conditions that interfere with customer views and comfort. GMFI Consutant Travelers or GM Zone Managers will make final decisions regarding the suitability of solar mechanical shades. If approved, the solar fabric mechanical shade must conform with the general specification in Section 4: Resources: Materials and Finishes. A balance of visible light transmittance, outside reflectance, and energy concerns must be considered when decisions are made 2-14 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 Acceptable Not Acceptable about showroom glass. Low-e coating and other factory applied micro-molecular metallic solar films may be used to improve energy performance provided the increased reflectivity of the glass does not significantly impair daytime views of the vehicles through the glass. Maximum outside reflectance of no greater than 29% (16% preferred), minimum visible light transmittance at 53% (60% or greater, preferred) are the visual parameters for the properties of the showroom glass. In certain circumstances, predominantly in the southern USA, some stores have large and deep “porches” - overhangs or soffits along the principal façade - and have placed vehicles below, in front of the showroom glass, and in clear view of approaching customers. This is an acceptable condition provided that the overhang or soffit is generally as wide as the store’s principal façade, the underside soffit height is a minimum of 12 feet high and a minimum of 20’ deep, and that soffit lighting is included to properly illuminate vehicles after sunset. In cases such as this, sales workstations are permitted against the glass exterior wall, provided they do not interfere with customer entry. 2-15 Chevrolet Facility Image Design Intent | Version 7.0 Exterior Entry Element Guidelines The exterior entry element should be located on the primary showroom facade. The general intent is that this entry element will surround the main public entry doors. However, site constraints may require that public doors not be part of the entry element if there is lot-line construction or parking adjacent to the building on a minor elevation. Any such deviation from the general intent must be approved by GMFI.

To effectively sell and service the Volt, dealers must provide charging stations. This may be accomplished with either AC charging stations in and around the facility, a solar-powered charging canopy on site, or both. AC Charging Stations If the dealer chooses to only provide AC charging stations, at least two must be provided and located as indicated below. 1. A charging station must be in the customer parking area for the sales facility. Ideally, this would be established in an area where 2-4 parking spaces converge, allowing the charger to have access to multiple parked vehicles. 2. A charging station must also be either alongside an exterior wall near the rear or side of the building or on a pedestal in the service parking area. In addition, the dealer may consider providing charging stations in these locations: • In the showroom and new car delivery spaces to demonstrate the charging procedure. • In the service area, preferably along a shop wall between two bays.
