{PAGE} STANDARD PROVISIONS
The following Standard Provisions are part of General Motors Dealer Sales and Service Agreement(s) (Form GMMS 1012).
PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
The purpose of this Agreement is to promote a relationship between General Motors and its Dealers which encourages and facilitates cooperation and mutual effort to satisfy customers, and permits General Motors and its dealers to fully realize their opportunities for business success. General Motors has established a network of authorized dealers operating at approved locations to effectively sell and service its Products and to build and maintain consumer confidence and satisfaction in Dealer and General Motors. Consequently, General Motors relies upon each Dealer to provide appropriate skill, capital, equipment, staff and facilities to properly sell, service, protect the reputation, and satisfy the customers of General Motors Products in a manner that demonstrates a caring attitude toward those customers. At the same time, Dealer relies upon General Motors to provide sales and service support and to continually strive to enhance the quality and competitiveness of its Products. This mutual dependence requires a spirit of cooperation, trust and confidence between General Motors and its dealers. To facilitate attainment of cooperation, trust and confidence, and to provide General Motors with the benefit of dealer advice regarding many decisions which affect dealer business operations, General Motors has established mechanisms to obtain dealer input in the decision making process.
This Agreement (i) authorizes Dealer to sell and service General Motors Products and represent itself as a General Motors Dealer; (ii) states the terms under which Dealer and General Motors agree to do business together; (iii) states the responsibilities of Dealer and General Motors to each other and to customers; and (iv) reflects the mutual dependence of the parties in achieving their business objectives.
ARTICLE 1. APPOINTMENT AS AUTHORIZED DEALER
General Motors appoints Dealer as a non-exclusive dealer of General Motors Products. Dealer has the right to buy Products and the obligation to market and service those Products in accordance with this Agreement and related documents.

{/TABLE}
(hereafter called the "Dealer") and Ford Motor Company, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at Dearborn, Michigan (hereinafter called the "Company").
PREAMBLE
The purpose of this agreement is to (i) establish the Dealer as an authorized dealer in COMPANY PRODUCTS including VEHICLES (as herein defined), (ii) set forth the respective responsibilities of the Company in producing and selling those products to the Dealer and of the Dealer in reselling and providing service for them and (iii) recognize the interdependence of both parties in achieving their mutual objectives of satisfactory sales, service and profits by continuing to develop and retain a broad base of satisfied owners of COMPANY PRODUCTS.
In entering into this agreement, the Company and the Dealer recognize that the success of the Company and of each of its authorized dealers depends largely on the reputation and competitiveness of COMPANY PRODUCTS and dealers' services, and on how well each fulfills its responsibilities under this agreement.
It is the opinion of the Company that sales and service of COMPANY PRODUCTS usually can best be provided to the public though a system of independent franchised dealers, with each dealer fulfilling its responsibilities in a given locality from properly located, adequate, well-equipped and attractive dealerships, which are staffed by competent personnel and provided with the necessary working capital. The Dealer recognizes that, in such a franchise system, the Company must plan for the establishment and maintenance of the numbers, locations and sizes of dealers necessary for satisfactory and proper sales and service representation in each market area as it exists and as it develops and changes. At the same time, the Company endeavors to provide each of its dealers with a reasonable profit opportunity based on the potential for sales and service of COMPANY PRODUCTS within its locality.
{PAGE}
The Company endeavors to make available to its dealers a variety of quality products, responsive to broad wants and needs of the buying public, which are attractively styled, of sound engineering design and produced on a timely basis at competitive prices. The development, production and sale of such products require that the Company and its manufacturing sources make large continuing investments in plants, equipment, tools and other facilities, engineering and styling research and development, quality control procedures, trained personnel and marketing programs. Heavy commitments must also be made in advance for raw materials and finished parts. For purposes of making these investments and commitments, planning production and estimating costs for setting prices, the Company assumes in advance an estimated volume of sales for each of its products. Within each year, it develops production schedules from orders submitted by its franchised dealers and its and their best estimates of the market demand for COMPANY PRODUCTS.
In turn, each of the Company's franchised dealers makes important investments or commitments in retail sales and service facilities and equipment, in working capital, in inventories of vehicles, parts and accessories, and trained sales and service personnel based on annual planning volumes for their markets.
If satisfactory volumes for either the Company or a dealer are not realized, each may suffer because of commitments already made and the cost of manufacturing and of selling each product may be increased. Each dealer must give the Company orders for the products needed to serve its market. The Company seeks to adjust production schedules, to the extent feasible, to fill dealer orders, and to allocate fairly any product in short supply, but inevitably both the Company and its dealers suffer loss of profits to the extent they cannot meet market demands. Thus, the automotive business is a high risk business in which the Company, its manufacturing sources and its dealers can succeed only though cooperative and competitive effort in their respective areas of manufacturing, sales, service and customer satisfaction.
Because it is the dealer who deals directly with, and develops the sale of COMPANY PRODUCTS to the consuming public, the Company substantially relies on its dealers to provide successful sales and merchandising programs, competent service operations and effective owner relations programs. To do this, dealers must carry out their responsibilities of establishing and maintaining adequate wholesale and retail finance plans, new and used vehicle sales programs, parts and service sales programs, personnel training and supportive capitalization and working capital. To assist its dealers in these responsibilities, the Company establishes and periodically updates standards of operation and planning guides based on its experience and current conditions. It also offers sales and service training courses, advice as to facilities, counseling in the various phases of new and used vehicle merchandising, parts and service merchandising, leasing, daily rentals and facilities development. It also conducts national advertising, promotional and other marketing programs and assists dealers in developing complementary group and individual programs.
To enable the Company to provide such assistance, it requires dealers to submit uniform and accurate sales, operating and financial reports from which it can derive and disseminate analytical and comparative operating data and advice to dealers. The Company also solicits dealers to bring to its attention through their National Dealer Council organization any mutual dealer problems or complaints as they arise.
Because the Company relies heavily on its dealers for success, it reserves the right to cease doing business with any dealer who is not contributing sufficiently to such success. Similarly, the Company recognizes that its dealers look to it to provide competitive products and programs and that, if it does not do so, any dealer may elect to cease doing business with the Company.
The Company has elected to enter into this agreement with the Dealer with confidence in the Dealer's integrity and ability, its intention to carry out its responsibilities set forth in this agreement, and its desire to provide courteous, competent and satisfying sales and service representation to consumers for COMPANY PRODUCTS, and in reliance upon its representations as to the persons who will participate in the ownership and management of the dealership.
The dealer has elected to enter into this agreement with the Company with confidence in its integrity and ability, its intention to provide competitive products and assist the Dealer to market them successfully, and its desire to maintain high quality dealers.
