Defendants Valeo, Valeo Vision Mazamet, Valeo Sylvania LLC and Valeo Switches & Detection (collectively, Valeo)1, by their attorneys, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP, for their Emergency Ex Parte Motion to Shorten Time for Response and Hearing On Motion For Protection From Mediation Notice states: 1. Valeo has filed its Motion for Protection from Mediation Notice (Motion).

Capitalized items not defined in this Motion have the meaning as defined in the Motion 2. As detailed in the Motion, the subject adversary proceeding has been removed

from the mediation track for discovery on Plaintiffs fraudulent transfer claim against Valeo and the other defendants in a Joint Defense Group. Moreover the Joint Defense Group has asked concurrence in relief from the mediation stay for purposes of filing a dispositive motion. 3. Mediation at this time would be futile because: (a) Plaintiffs are unwilling to

compromise claims based on the Canadian Transfers, (b) the Joint Defense Group has not received the discovery responses it believes helpful or necessary to its dispositive motion and therefore will be unable to present such information to the mediator; and (c) Valeo has not yet been able to file its dispositive motion, which it believes will prevail, resulting in dismissal of the complaint as to the Canadian Transfers. 4. Despite the relief from the mediation stay for discovery and pending request for

concurrence from the mediation stay for filing a dispositive motion, on September 2, 2008

1 The named defendant Valeo Vision Mazamet is believed to refer to Valeo Vision SAS and Valeo Vision SAS proceeds as if it were a properly named defendant. The named defendant Valeo Switches & Detection is believed to refer to Valeo Switches & Detection Systems, Inc., and Valeo Switches & Detection Systems, Inc. proceeds as if it were a properly named defendant. Valeo Vision SAS and Valeo Switches & Detection Systems, Inc. reserve the right to assert (i) that they are not properly named defendants in this adversary proceeding and (ii) any related defenses. Plaintiffs have also named Valeo as a defendant in this adversary proceeding. To the best of defendants knowledge, information and belief, there is no related existing corporate entity named Valeo.

Plaintiffs serviced Valeo with a Notice of Scheduling Mediation (the Mediation Notice) scheduling mediation of the subject adversary proceeding September 23, 2008. 5. Valeo needs an emergency hearing on the subject notice prior to September 13,

2008, because that is the date under the Mediation Notice when it must serve its mediation statement, and before September 18, 2008, because that is the date by which it must pay its $3,000 mediation fee. WHEREFORE, Valeo requests that the Court schedule an emergency hearing on the Motion on or before September 12, 2008 and for such further relief as in proper and just.
