6.     COMMENCEMENT QF BAILMENT

The Bailment begins upon Manufacturer’s Acceptance of Delivery (“Commencement of the Bailment”). Such acceptance constitutes acknowledgement that the Vehicle was received in the condition, quantity and state described.

7.     STORAGE

(a) Upon Commencement of the Bailment, Manufacturer shall maintain Vehicles at Manufacturer’s location, at no charge to Manufacturer, for no more than 90 days. If there is no purchaser for the End Product after 90 days from Commencement of the Bailment, storage charges will begin to accrue on the Vehicle (“Storage Charge”). Beginning on the ninety-first (91st) day until such time that the Vehicle is re-billed to an Authorized Ford Dealer, Manufacturer shall pay daily Storage Charges to Ford as set forth below:

Manufacturer’s Storage Charges shall appear in Ford Motor Credit Company’s Dealer Finance system on the first day of the month and shall be payable the same day (the 1st).  On a monthly basis, Ford will provide Manufacturer with information regarding the Storage Charges for each Vehicle.

i.             Manufacturer shall pay a daily storage charge based on the Invoice Amount of each vehicle beginning on the Storage Charge Start Date for such Vehicle, in an amount equal to the Prime Rate plus (2 point, 3 points, 5 points or 8 points as set forth above) as the “Storage Charge”. The term “Invoice Amount” shall mean that amount reflected on the applicable Vehicle invoice that can be accessed by Ford and Manufacturer via the Lason Vision system online at www.fleet.ford.com. The term “Prime Rate” means the interest rate for “Bank prime loans” under the column entitled “Week Ending” for the Friday preceding the last Monday of a calendar month as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release No. H.15 (519) issued by the Federal Reserve Board.  In the event such Release is discontinued or modified to eliminate the reporting of a 30-day bank prime loans rate, then Ford will substitute, in its sole discretion, a comparable report or release of the bank prime loans rate published by a comparable source.

ii.          The Storage Charge will be calculated on the basis of 360-day year. For purposes of computing the Storage Charge on a Vehicle, the Storage Charge shall change on the first day of each month following the Storage Charge Start Date following any month in which there is a change in the Prime Rate. The Storage Charge in effect on the first day of a month shall be deemed to be in effect throughout such month.

Manufacturer shall not move any Vehicles from the approved location to one not approved by Ford without first obtaining the written authorization of Ford. Ford shall have the right to enter onto Manufacturer’s premises, at reasonable times and upon prior reasonable notice, to inspect the Vehicles and Manufacturer’s records with respect thereto.

(c) Manufacturer, at its sole cost and expense, shall ensure that Vehicles do not deteriorate from a “like new” condition in appearance or quality during the period of storage.

(d) Upon request by Ford, any or all of the Vehicles shall be immediately returned to Ford as set forth in paragraph 9 herein.

8.     LOSS

Ford shall not be responsible for any delay in delivering the Vehicles to Manufacturer. Manufacturer shall assume all risks of loss with respect to the Vehicles, including all loss or damage that occurs despite Manufacturer’s exercise of reasonable care from the time that Manufacturer accepted the Vehicle and until the Bailment ends. Manufacturer is liable for any and all loss or shortage resulting from its failure to examine any shipment and for any damage and other loss resulting from its failure to comply with any shipping, loading, packaging, storage or other instructions issued by Ford.

9.     END OF BAILMENT

For each Vehicle, the Bailment shall end in one of the following ways (1) at the time that the Vehicle is sold by Ford to an Authorized Ford Dealer according to the procedures set forth in the Manual; or (2) upon authorized return of the Vehicle(s) to Ford by Manufacturer. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events set forth in (a) — (e) herein, the Vehicle(s) must be returned to Ford by Manufacturer at Manufacturer’s expense, to the place and in the manner requested by Ford; otherwise, if Ford requests such return of the Vehicle(s), Ford shall bear the expense: (a) Manufacturer becomes the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed in a court in any jurisdiction, whether voluntary or involuntary; (b) a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or a substantial portion of Manufacturer’s assets; (c) Manufacturer makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (d) Manufacturer fails to perform any material covenant or obligation in this agreement; or (e) any representation or warranty in this agreement by Manufacturer ceases to be true and correct in all material respects.

18.    LABELING

Manufacturer shall affix to all Vehicles such labels as Ford supplies (if not already affixed) and maintain the labels in place.

19.    INDEMNIFICATION

Ford and Manufacturer recognize that the burden of defending against product liability allegations, whether or not meritless or frivolous, should be borne by the party whose alleged negligence, wrongdoing or defective product is at issue, regardless of whether it is a party to the particular litigation. The parties also recognize that, under existing law, there are circumstances where a claimant may sue only one party even though the defect, wrongdoing or negligence alleged is the principal responsibility of the other party. The parties also recognize that this results in the

8

named defendant bearing more than its fair share of the cost of the litigation. In order to avoid possible controversy between the parties as to which shall defend such litigation, or bear the cost of defending such litigation, including the cost of settlements or verdicts, the parties agree as follows:

(a) Indemnification by Ford. With respect to any Vehicle supplied by Ford to Manufacturer, Ford shall indemnify, hold harmless and protect Manufacturer from any loss, damage or expense, including, without limitation, settlements, judgments, expert fees and reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from or related to lawsuits, complaints or claims against Manufacturer for property damage or personal injury where Manufacturer’s liability, if any, arises solely because of a defect in manufacture, assembly, materials or design for which Ford alone is responsible.

(b) Manufacturer, and/or its product liability insurance carrier, shall cooperate fully in the defense of the action as Ford, and/or its Product liability insurance carrier, may reasonably require. Ford shall have the right to assume Manufacturer’s defense at any time, provided that Ford acknowledges Manufacturer’s right to indemnity under this provision.

(c) Indemnification by Manufacturer. With respect to any Vehicle supplied by Ford to Manufacturer, Manufacturer or its contractors, subcontractors, vendors, agents and/or employees, shall indemnify, hold harmless and protect Ford from any loss, damage or expense, including, without limitation, settlements, judgments, expert fees, and attorney’s fees, resulting from or related to lawsuits, complaints or claims against Ford for property damage or personal injury, where Ford’s liability, if any, arises solely from modifications or additions made by Manufacturer or from processing of Vehicles by Manufacturer. Liability on the part of Ford which arises, if at all, because Ford knew or should have known that the processing, modification or additions made by Manufacturer were negligent, improper or defective, or that Ford expressly or impliedly approved the modifications or additions made by Manufacturer, shall be deemed to be liability which arises “solely from processing, modifications or additions made by Manufacturer” within the meaning of this paragraph. However, Manufacturer shall not be obligated to indemnify Ford if the modifications or additions were made or the processing was conducted pursuant to express written instructions provided by Ford.

(d) Manufacturer’s Duty to Defend. Ford shall notify Manufacturer of any lawsuit, complaint or claim that Ford has reason to believe may be covered by this indemnity provision. If Ford’s alleged liability arises solely from modifications or additions made by Manufacturer or processing conducted by Manufacturer not pursuant to express written instructions from Ford, and if Manufacturer’s investigation discloses no basis for Ford’s liability other than the allegations in the lawsuit, complaint, or claim, Manufacturer shall assume Ford’s defense upon Ford’s request. Ford and/or its product liability carrier shall cooperate fully in the defense of the action as Manufacturer, or its product liability carrier, may reasonably require. Manufacturer shall have the right to assume Ford’s defense at any time, provided that Manufacturer acknowledges Ford’s right to indemnity under this provision.

9

(e) Cross-Claims or Third Party Complaints. Neither party shall file cross-claims or third-party complaints against the other without notifying the other in advance. Where practicable, the notice should be given sufficiently in advance to allow thorough discussion of alternatives to such filing.

(f) Contributions to Settlement. In the appropriate case, the parties shall, where settlement is or may be warranted, make a reasonable effort to agree upon the amount each party shall contribute to settlement, based upon the nature of the plaintiffs allegations. For example, if the case involves an allegation that a Manufacturer’s component is defective, a reasonable allocation would require the Manufacturer to contribute all or most of any settlement amount. If, however, the allegation concerns a component supplied by Ford, a reasonable allocation would require Ford to contribute all or most of any settlement amount. It is recognized that there shall be cases of multiple allegations with respect to each party and that allocation of responsibility shall be dependent on the circumstances of the case.

(g) Contributions to Adverse Judgment. If the case, for any reason, does not settle, the parties shall, in advance of trial, make a reasonable attempt to agree upon the extent to which each company shall contribute to satisfy any adverse judgment or verdict that may be returned, based upon the principles set forth in the preceding paragraph. Based on these principles, the parties shall likewise attempt to agree upon the extent to which each shall contribute to the cost of defending the litigation, including attorney’s fees.

(h) Unilateral Settlement; Notifying Other Party. In cases where both parties are named defendants, neither party shall unilaterally enter into a settlement agreement without giving reasonable notice to, and consulting in advance with, the other party.

20.    INSURANCE

At its sole cost and expense, Manufacturer shall procure and maintain insurance continuously throughout the term of this Agreement from such companies as are acceptable to Ford and listed in the current “Best’s Insurance Guide” as possessing a minimum policy holders rating of “A-” (Excellent) and a financial category no lower than “VI” ($25,000,000 to $50,000,000 of adjusted policyholders surplus). The following insurance shall cover Manufacturer activities under this Agreement whether such activities are by itself or by any Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable:

(a) Liability Insurance

·                       Workers’ Compensation insurance for statutory limits or a State certificate of self insurance, and employer’s liability insurance for not less than one million ($1,000,000) per occurrence.

·                       Occurrence type commercial general liability insurance, including products and completed operations, but not limited to blanket contractual coverage, for bodily injury

10

including death, personal injury, and property damage with limits of not less than ten million ($10,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence.

·                       Comprehensive Automobile liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with limits of not less than five million ($5,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence.

(b) With the exception of Workers’ Compensation, each insurance policy listed above, and any excess or umbrella policy carried by Manufacturer with additional limits than those specified above, must name Ford Motor Company (or the appropriate Company subsidiary or affiliate) as an additional insured under the policy(s). All insurance policies of the Manufacturer shall be endorsed to state that the policy will be primary, and will not be excess to or contributory with, any self-insurance or insurance policies carried by Ford. The insurance policy shall provide that the policy may not be cancelled or materially altered without 30 days prior written notice to Ford. Manufacturer shall furnish to Ford an acceptable certificate of insurance evidencing the coverage required herein. The furnishing of acceptable evidence of required coverage should not relieve Manufacturer from any liability or obligation for which it is otherwise responsible to Ford.

(c) Manufacturer shall require that its subcontractors procure and/or maintain insurance coverage at the limits described above. Manufacturer shall indemnify and be fully responsible for any cost to Ford resulting from said subcontractor’s failure to procure and/or maintain said insurance.

21.   TAXES

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Ford shall report, bear, and pay all applicable personal property taxes on Vehicles and Manufacturer shall report, bear, and pay all applicable personal property taxes on Modifications. In the event a tax jurisdiction issues a forced assessment against one party for the full value of End Products, each party agrees to indemnify the other for the assessment amount attributable to their respective property.

22.   WARRANTIES

(a) No warranty obligation of Ford for any Vehicle shall be more extensive than Ford’s warranty obligation for such Vehicle under Ford’s warranty to retail purchasers and shall be expressly IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH THE REMEDY SET FORTH THEREIN AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY THEREUNDER.

(b) With each Vehicle delivered by Manufacturer to Authorized Ford Dealers, or retail customers on an Authorized Ford Dealers’ behalf, Manufacturer shall deliver copies of any applicable Ford warranty and an Owner’s Guide, owner registration card and such other consumer and operating material as Ford generally provides with that model of Vehicle.

11

(c) The warranty obligations of Ford (and any governmental certification made by Ford) shall cover only the Vehicles as manufactured by Ford and provided to Manufacturer, and shall not extend to any addition, modification or change of or to the Vehicle by Manufacturer as a Final Stage Manufacturer. Ford’s warranty does not cover any failures of a Ford component usually covered by the Ford warranty if such failure is caused by any addition, modification, or change to the Vehicle once the Vehicle has left Ford’s possession. In such event, the cost of repair and any related charges shall be paid for by Manufacturer and shall in no event be covered by Ford’s warranty.

23.    TERMINATION

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by either party, at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, by written notice to the other party.

Termination shall be effective at the end of the thirtieth (30) calendar day after the day of receipt of such written Notice or at such later time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties.

Upon termination of this Agreement by Ford for the reasons set forth in subsection (b) of this paragraph, all Vehicles in the possession of Manufacturer must be returned to Ford by Manufacturer at Manufacturer’s expense, to the place and in the manner requested by Ford, and Ford shall have the right to cancel any and all shipments scheduled for Manufacturer after Ford gives such Notice.

(e) Ford shall have no other obligations to Manufacturer upon termination of this Agreement except those set forth in this Section 23.

24.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Ford may use Financial Reports provided only to assess Manufacturer’s ongoing ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement and for no other purpose, unless Manufacturer

12

agrees otherwise in writing. Ford agrees that it shall protect the disclosed Financial Reports by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the dissemination to third parties or publication of the Financial Reports as Ford uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. Ford is permitted to disseminate the Financial Reports to its employees and those employees of any of its subsidiaries, its parent company and any of its parent company’s subsidiaries, provided such employees are made fully aware of the obligation of confidentiality contained within this Agreement. Manufacturer certifies that any information contained in the Financial Reports shall be true, correct and complete and that the financial information therein fairly presents the financial condition of Manufacturer in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Manufacturer acknowledges and intends that Ford shall rely, and shall have the right to rely, on such information. For the purpose of this Agreement, a Related Company is any parent company of Manufacturer and any subsidiary or affiliate in which any of them owns or controls at least 25% of the voting stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest. If requested by Ford, Manufacturer will provide to Ford Letters of Credit and/or Personal Guarantees and/or Corporate Guarantees. Such letters of Credit, Personal Guarantees, Corporate Guarantees and Financial Statements will be collected from Manufacturer by Ford Motor Credit Company on behalf of Ford.
