FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1.  PRESENTATION

For purposes of this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references mean Ford Motor Company, our consolidated subsidiaries, and our consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires otherwise. We also make reference to Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, herein referenced to as Ford Credit. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods, and at the dates, presented.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.  Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K Report”).

Global Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures.  As a result, extraordinary actions were taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world. These actions included travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, by late March 2020, we had idled all of our significant manufacturing operations in regions around the world. By May 2020, we restarted manufacturing operations in a phased manner at locations around the world.

Our results include adjustments to our assets and liabilities recorded during the first nine months of 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19, the most significant of which were a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets (see Note 5) and a charge to the provision for credit losses on Ford Credit’s finance receivables (see Note 8). The majority of these adjustments were recorded in the first quarter and there were no material adjustments to our assets and liabilities related to COVID-19 in the third quarter.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new credit loss standard and all of the related amendments, which replaced the incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects lifetime expected credit losses. We adopted the changes in accounting for credit losses by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new credit loss standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2020, for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, was as follows (in millions):
Balance at

Liabilities
Deferred income taxes 490  (58) 432 
Equity
Retained earnings 20,320  (202) 20,118 

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform:  Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.  On April 1, 2020, we adopted the new standard, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform (e.g., discontinuation of LIBOR) if certain criteria are met. As of September 30, 2020, we have not yet elected any optional expedients provided in the standard.  We will apply the accounting relief as relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications are made during the reference rate reform transition period. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We also adopted the following ASUs during 2020, none of which had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures:
ASU Effective Date
2020-01 Clarifying the Interaction between Equity Securities, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging January 1, 2020
2018-18 Clarifying the Interaction between Collaborative Arrangements and Revenue from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2020
2018-15
Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract
January 1, 2020

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued)

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in return rights and marketing incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Estimates of marketing incentives are based on expected retail and fleet sales volumes, mix of products to be sold, and incentive programs to be offered. Customer acceptance of products and programs, as well as other market conditions, will impact these estimates. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease in revenue of $454 million in the third quarter of 2019 and an increase in revenue of $168 million in the third quarter of 2020 related to revenue recognized in prior periods.

We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). We had a balance of $4.2 billion and $4.1 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately $300 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2020, $1.2 billion in 2021, and $2.6 billion thereafter. We recognized $274 million and $295 million of unearned amounts as revenue during the third quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively, and $864 million and $901 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. We had a balance of $270 million and $278 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. We recognized $17 million and $20 million of amortization during the third quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively, and $56 million and $59 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

For interim tax reporting, we estimate one single effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Based on all available evidence, we established a valuation allowance against certain net operating losses and tax credits of $1 billion during the first nine months of 2020, as it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider the trade-offs between cash preservation and cash outlays to preserve tax credits.

NOTE 7. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and if it has a remaining time to maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts that meet the above criteria are reported at par value on our consolidated balance sheets.

Marketable Securities

Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than three months at the date of purchase, and other securities for which there is more than an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal, are classified as marketable securities.

Realized gains and losses and interest income on all of our marketable securities and unrealized gains and losses on securities not classified as available for sale are recorded in Other income/(loss), net. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in Unrealized gains and losses on securities, a component of Other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax. Realized gains and losses and reclassifications of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income are measured using the specific identification method.

On a quarterly basis, we review our available-for-sale debt securities for credit losses. We compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, we determine if a credit loss allowance is necessary. If a credit loss allowance is necessary, we will record an allowance, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, and recognize the corresponding charge in Other income/(loss), net. Factors we consider include the severity of the impairment, the reason for the decline in value, interest rate changes, and counterparty long-term ratings.

NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Ford Credit manages finance receivables as “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios.  The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed.

Finance receivables are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses.

For all finance receivables, Ford Credit defines "past due" as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date.

__________
(a)Net finance receivables subject to fair value exclude finance leases.
(b)The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Ford Credit’s finance leases are comprised of sales-type and direct financing leases. Financing revenue from finance leases for the third quarter of 2019 and 2020 was $90 million and $96 million, respectively, and for the first nine months of 2019 and 2020 was $279 million and $268 million, respectively, and is included in Ford Credit revenues on our consolidated income statements.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, accrued interest was $251 million and $184 million, respectively, which we report in Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheets.

Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, were consumer receivables of $38.3 billion and $41.1 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $26.8 billion and $17.4 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions.

Credit Quality

Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on aging. Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:

Pass – current to 60 days past due;
Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status; and
Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged off, as measured using the fair value of collateral less costs to sell.

Non-Consumer Portfolio. Ford Credit uses a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical dealer performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that are considered most significant in predicting a dealer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Ford Credit also considers numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the dealer’s operations, including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with Ford Credit and other creditors. The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on an internal dealer risk rating analysis.

Non-Accrual of Revenue. The accrual of financing revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or when it is 90 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if a concession is granted to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that Ford Credit otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. Ford Credit does not grant concessions on the principal balance of the receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven.

Ford Credit offered various programs to provide relief to customers and dealers impacted by COVID-19.  These programs, which were broadly available to all customers and dealers during the first half of 2020, included payment extensions.  Ford Credit concluded that these programs did not meet TDR criteria. As of September 30, 2020, in the United States, Ford Credit has received payments on nearly all the pandemic extensions offered to its customers, and no dealers were delinquent on their payments. The volume of payment extensions has returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and Ford Credit continues to grant payment extensions to customers and dealers under its normal business practices.

NOTE 8. FORD CREDIT FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in finance receivables as of the balance sheet date.

Additions to the allowance for credit losses are made by recording charges to Ford Credit interest, operating, and other expenses on our consolidated income statements. The uncollectible portion of a finance receivable is charged to the allowance for credit losses at the earlier of when an account is deemed to be uncollectible or when an account is 120 days delinquent, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer or borrower, the value of the collateral, recourse to guarantors, and other factors.

Charge-offs on finance receivables include uncollected amounts related to principal, interest, late fees, and other allowable charges. Recoveries on finance receivables previously charged off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses. In the event Ford Credit repossesses the collateral, the receivable is charged off and the collateral is recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell and reported in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Consumer Portfolio

Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to individuals and businesses that finance the acquisition of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from dealers for personal or commercial use. Retail financing includes retail installment contracts for new and used vehicles and finance leases with retail customers, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers.

For consumer receivables that share similar risk characteristics such as product type, initial credit risk, term, vintage, geography, and other relevant factors, Ford Credit estimates the lifetime expected credit loss allowance based on a collective assessment using measurement models and management judgment. The lifetime expected credit losses for the receivables is determined by applying probability of default and loss given default models to monthly expected exposures, then discounting these cash flows to present value using the receivable’s original effective interest rate or the current effective interest rate for a variable rate receivable. Probability of default models are developed from internal risk scoring models taking into account the expected probability of payment and time to default, adjusted for macroeconomic outlook and recent performance. The models consider factors such as risk evaluation at the time of origination, historical trends in credit losses (which include the impact of TDRs), and the composition and recent performance of the present portfolio (including vehicle brand, term, risk evaluation, and new / used vehicles). The loss given default is the percentage of the expected balance due at default that is not recoverable, taking into account the expected collateral value and trends in recoveries (including key metrics such as delinquencies, repossessions, and bankruptcies). Monthly exposures are equal to the receivables’ expected outstanding principal and interest balance.

The loss allowance incorporates forward-looking macroeconomic conditions for baseline, upturn, and downturn scenarios. Three separate credit loss allowances are calculated from these scenarios. They are then probability-weighted to determine the credit loss allowance recognized in the financial statements. Ford Credit uses forecasts from a third party that revert to a long-term historical average after a reasonable and supportable forecasting period, which is specific to the particular macroeconomic variable and which varies by market. Ford Credit updates the forward-looking macroeconomic forecasts quarterly.

If management does not believe these models reflect lifetime expected credit losses for the portfolio, an adjustment is made to reflect management judgment regarding observable changes in recent or expected economic trends and conditions, portfolio composition, and other relevant factors.

On an ongoing basis, Ford Credit reviews its models, including macroeconomic factors, the selection of macroeconomic scenarios, and their weighting, to ensure they reflect the risk of the portfolio.

Non-Consumer Portfolio

Dealer financing includes wholesale loans to dealers to finance vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing, as well as loans to dealers to finance working capital, improvements to dealership facilities, the purchase of dealership real estate, and other dealer programs.

Dealer financing is evaluated on an individual dealer basis by segmenting dealers by risk characteristics (such as the amount of the loans, the nature of the collateral, the financial status of the dealer, and any TDR modifications) to determine if an individual dealer requires a specific allowance for credit loss. If required, the allowance is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the dealer’s receivables discounted at the loans’ original effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell.

For the remaining dealer financing, Ford Credit estimates an allowance for credit losses on a collective basis.

Wholesale Loans. Ford Credit estimates the allowance for credit losses for wholesale loans based on historical loss-to-receivable (“LTR”) ratios, expected future cash flows, and the fair value of collateral. For wholesale loans with similar risk characteristics, the allowance for credit losses is estimated on a collective basis using the LTR model and management judgment. The LTR model is based on the most recent years of history. An LTR is calculated by dividing credit losses (i.e., charge-offs net of recoveries) by average net finance receivables, excluding unearned interest supplements and allowance for credit losses. The average LTR is multiplied by the end-of-period balances, representing the lifetime expected credit loss reserve.

Dealer Loans. Ford Credit uses a weighted-average remaining maturity method to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss reserve for dealer loans. The loss model is based on the industry-wide commercial real estate credit losses, adjusted to factor in the historical credit losses for the dealer loans portfolio. The expected credit loss is calculated under different economic scenarios that are weighted to provide the total lifetime expected credit loss. 

After establishing the collective and specific allowance for credit losses, if management believes the allowance does not reflect all losses inherent in the portfolio due to changes in recent economic trends and conditions, or other relevant forward-looking economic factors, an adjustment is made based on management judgment.

(b)Primarily represents amounts related to translation adjustments.
(c)Cumulative pre-tax adjustments recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. See Note 2 for additional information.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, the allowance for credit losses increased $29 million and $801 million, respectively. The change in the third quarter of 2020 reflects an increase to the reserve of $20 million associated with higher balances in Ford Credit’s finance receivables portfolio, as well as an increase for translation adjustments. The relatively moderate reserve increase in the third quarter of 2020 also reflects Ford Credit’s view that future economic conditions are largely unchanged from its assumptions at June 30, 2020. The change in the first nine months of 2020 reflects an increase to the reserve of $252 million related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, with the remainder primarily related to economic conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The change to the reserve due to the impact of COVID-19 reflects economic uncertainty which, along with the expectation of continued higher unemployment, has increased the probability of default and loss given default rates used in Ford Credit’s estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses for its consumer portfolio, especially in the United States.  These economic trends and conditions are also expected to negatively impact dealers. Although net charge-offs during the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 remained low, reflecting government relief programs and customer payment deferral programs, the future impact of COVID-19 on credit losses is expected to be adverse.

The service cost component is included in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses. Other components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) are included in Other income/(loss), net on our consolidated income statements.

As part of our ongoing global redesign activities, we recognized additional expense of $50 million and $92 million in the third quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively, and $245 million and $167 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2020, respectively, related to separation programs, settlements, and curtailments. 

The settlements and curtailments required plan remeasurements at current discount rates, asset returns, and economic conditions.  This resulted in remeasurement losses of $54 million in the third quarter and gains of $116 million in the first nine months of 2020. Until our global redesign actions are completed, we anticipate further adjustments to our plans in subsequent periods.

In the third quarter of 2020, we also recognized a settlement loss of $48 million related to a non-US pension plan.

Pension Plan Contributions

During 2020, we expect to contribute between $500 million and $700 million of cash to our global funded pension plans. We also expect to make about $350 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans. In the first nine months of 2020, we contributed $429 million to our worldwide funded pension plans and made $267 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

NOTE 16. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

We record costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company. We record costs associated with involuntary separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

Global Redesign

As previously announced, we are executing a global redesign of our business. Redesign-related activities, including employee separation costs, facility-related charges, payments to dealers and suppliers, and other expenses, are recorded in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses. See Note 17 for additional information related to assets held for sale. Below are actions we have initiated as part of the redesign.

Brazil. In February 2019, Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. (“Ford Brazil”), our subsidiary in Brazil, committed to a plan to exit the commercial heavy truck business in South America.  As a result, Ford Brazil ceased production at the São Bernardo do Campo plant in Brazil during 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, Ford Brazil completed a sale of the plant machinery and equipment, and also entered into a separate agreement to sell the land and buildings.

Russia. In March 2019, Ford Sollers Netherlands B.V. (“Ford Sollers”), a joint venture between Ford and Sollers PJSC (“Sollers”) in which Ford had control, announced its plan to restructure its business in Russia to focus exclusively on commercial vehicles and to exit the passenger car segment. As a result of these actions, Ford acquired 100% ownership of Ford Sollers and ceased production at the Naberezhnye Chelny and St. Petersburg vehicle assembly plants and the Elabuga engine plant during the second quarter of 2019.

Subsequent to completion of the restructuring actions, in July 2019, Ford sold a 51% controlling interest in the restructured entity to Sollers, which resulted in deconsolidation of the Ford Sollers subsidiary. Our continued involvement in Ford Sollers is accounted for as an equity method investment.

In the third quarter of 2020, we committed to a plan to sell certain manufacturing assets, which are not part of the restructured Ford Sollers joint venture.

United Kingdom. In June 2019, Ford Motor Company Limited (“Ford of Britain”), a subsidiary of Ford, announced its plan to exit the Ford Bridgend plant in South Wales in 2020. Ford of Britain ceased production at the Bridgend plant and the facility was closed in September 2020.

India. In the third quarter of 2019, Ford committed to a plan to sell specific net assets in our India Automotive operations.

Other Global Redesign Actions. In 2018, we announced our plan to end production at the Ford Aquitaine Industries plant in Bordeaux, France. We ceased production and the facility was closed in July 2019. In March 2019, we announced our plan to phase-out the production of the C-Max at the Saarlouis Body and Assembly Plant in Germany. We ceased production of the C-Max in June 2019. In addition, we are continuing to reduce our global workforce and take other restructuring actions.

We also recorded $821 million and $64 million in the third quarter of 2019 and 2020, respectively, and $1.4 billion and $114 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2020, respectively, for the impairment of long-lived assets, accelerated depreciation and other non-cash items. We estimate that we will incur total charges in 2020 that range between $700 million and $1.2 billion related to the actions above, primarily attributable to employee separations, accelerated depreciation, and dealer and supplier settlements.

Other Actions

United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) Voluntary Separation Packages. As agreed in the collective bargaining agreement ratified in November 2019, during the first quarter of 2020, we offered voluntary separation packages to our UAW hourly workforce who were eligible for normal or early retirement, and recorded associated costs of $201 million in Cost of sales. All separations are expected to occur before the end of the year.

Automotive Segment

Brazil and Russia. In the third quarter of 2020, as part of our global redesign, we committed to plans to sell manufacturing assets in Brazil and Russia. As a result, we classified assets of $39 million as held for sale at September 30, 2020.

India. In the third quarter of 2019, we committed to a plan to sell specific net assets in our India Automotive operations. We entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (“Mahindra”), with Mahindra owning a 51% controlling stake and Ford owning a 49% stake. Under the terms of the transaction, we will sell certain India Automotive operations to the joint venture. The sale was expected to close within twelve months of the definitive agreement, but has been deferred primarily due to COVID-19 related shutdowns, which have delayed the necessary regulatory approvals and other steps required to establish the joint venture. Although completion of the transaction has extended beyond our initial expectations, our assessment of the planned sale is that it is still probable. Accordingly, as we continue to meet the held-for-sale classification criteria, we have reported the assets and liabilities of these operations as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization of those assets.

The assets and liabilities of our India Automotive operations classified as held for sale were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 17. HELD-FOR-SALE OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES (Continued)

We recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $804 million in 2019, of which $799 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2019, and $3 million and $21 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the held-for-sale assets to fair value less cost to sell. These charges are reported in Cost of sales. The value is measured on a nonrecurring basis and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We determined fair value using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds to be received, which we conclude is most representative of the value of the assets given the current market conditions, the characteristics of viable market participants, and the pending sales transaction. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions that may impact the final proceeds received.

Mobility Segment

On June 1, 2020, we completed a transaction with VW that reduced our ownership interest in the autonomous vehicle technology company Argo AI and resulted in Ford and VW holding equal interests in Argo AI, with the remaining interest consisting of incentive units and founders’ equity. The transaction involved us selling a portion of our Argo AI equity to VW for $500 million and VW making additional investments in Argo AI, including contributing its Autonomous Intelligent Driving company. As a result of the transaction, we deconsolidated Argo AI, remeasured our retained investment in Argo AI at fair value, and recognized a $3.5 billion gain in Other income/(loss), of which $2.9 billion related to our retained investment in Argo AI. We measured the fair value of Argo AI using the income approach. The significant assumptions used in the valuation included Argo AI’s projected long-term cash flows and related terminal value, discounted at a rate typically used for a company at Argo AI’s stage of development.

Our retained investment in Argo AI immediately after the transaction consisted of an equity method investment of $2.4 billion and a preferred equity security investment of $400 million, reflected on our consolidated balance sheets in Equity in net assets of affiliated companies and Other assets, respectively. The difference between the fair value of our equity method investment and our share of the carrying value of Argo AI’s net assets primarily related to indefinite-lived assets. We also agreed to future funding of Argo AI of $600 million, subject to capital calls, which will increase our preferred equity investment.

Argo AI is a variable interest entity of which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2020, our maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with Argo AI is limited to our $2.8 billion of investments.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingencies primarily consist of guarantees and indemnifications, litigation and claims, and warranty and field service actions.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

Financial Guarantees. Financial guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. Subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee. The probability of default is applied to the expected exposure at the time of default less recoveries to determine the expected payments. Factors to consider when estimating the probability of default include the obligor’s financial position, forecasted economic environment, historical loss rates, and other communications. The liability recorded represents Ford’s exposure to credit risk. The maximum potential payments for financial guarantees were $162 million and $437 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to financial guarantees was $33 million and $40 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Our financial guarantees consist of debt and lease obligations of certain joint ventures, as well as certain financial obligations of outside third parties, including suppliers, to support our business and economic growth. Expiration dates vary through 2033, and guarantees will terminate on payment and / or cancellation of the underlying obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by failure of the joint venture or other third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from a third party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full, and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other circumstances.

Non-Financial Guarantees. Non-financial guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. We regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under a guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment is recorded. The maximum potential payments for non-financial guarantees were $587 million and $266 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to non-financial guarantees was $200 million and $59 million at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

We guarantee the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $260 million as of September 30, 2020 represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on resale.  Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $58 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee.

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; power generation contracts; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or a third-party claim. While some of these indemnifications are limited in nature, many of them do not limit potential payment. Therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of future payments that could result from claims made under these unlimited indemnities.

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Litigation and Claims

Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; environmental matters; shareholder or investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, or demands for field service actions, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures.

The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome.

We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time.

For the majority of matters, which generally arise out of alleged defects in our products, we establish an accrual based on our extensive historical experience with similar matters. We do not believe there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual for these matters.

For the remaining matters, where our historical experience with similar matters is of more limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate the matters primarily based on the individual facts and circumstances. For non-pattern matters, we evaluate whether there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss in excess of any accrual that can be estimated. Our estimate of reasonably possible loss in excess of our accruals for all material matters currently reflects indirect tax and customs matters, for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to about $900 million.

As noted, the litigation process is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. Our assessments are based on our knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount that we have accrued and / or disclosed.

Warranty and Field Service Actions

We accrue the estimated cost of both base warranty coverages and field service actions at the time of sale. We establish our estimate of base warranty obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. We establish our estimates of field service action obligations using a patterned estimation model, using historical information regarding the nature, frequency, severity, and average cost of claims for each model year. In addition, from time to time, we issue extended warranties at our expense, the estimated cost of which is accrued at the time of issuance. Warranty and field service action obligations are reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis.

We recognize the benefit from a recovery of the costs associated with our warranty and field service actions when specifics of the recovery have been agreed with our supplier and the amount of recovery is virtually certain. Recoveries are reported in Trade and other receivables, net and Other assets.

The estimate of our future warranty and field service action costs, net of estimated supplier recoveries, for the periods ended September 30 was as follows (in millions):
First Nine Months
  2019 2020
Beginning balance $ 5,137  $ 5,702

NOTE 20. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We report segment information consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of the Company. Accordingly, we analyze the results of our business through the following segments: Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit. Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities.

Automotive Segment

Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. This segment includes revenues and costs related to our electrification vehicle programs. The segment includes the following regional business units:  North America, South America, Europe, China (including Taiwan), and
the International Markets Group.

Mobility Segment

Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs related to our autonomous vehicles and our investment in mobility through Ford Smart Mobility LLC (“FSM”). Autonomous vehicles includes self-driving systems development and vehicle integration, autonomous vehicle research and advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle transportation-as-a-service network development, user experience, and business strategy and business development teams. FSM designs and builds mobility products and subscription services on its own, and collaborates with service providers and technology companies. 

Ford Credit Segment

The Ford Credit segment is comprised of the Ford Credit business on a consolidated basis, which is primarily vehicle-related financing and leasing activities.

Corporate Other

Corporate Other primarily includes corporate governance expenses, interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment) and gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other investments, and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, and are not allocated to specific Automotive business units or operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. The underlying assets and liabilities associated with these activities remain with the respective Automotive and Mobility segments.

Interest on Debt

Interest on Debt is presented as a separate reconciling item and consists of interest expense on Automotive and Other debt. The underlying liability is reported in the Automotive segment and in Corporate Other.

Special Items

Special Items are presented as a separate reconciling item. They consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. We also report these special items separately to help investors track amounts related to these activities and to allow investors analyzing our results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The impact of COVID-19 has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. There have been extraordinary actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world, including travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.  Although restrictions have been eased in many locations, some areas that had previously eased restrictions have reverted to more stringent limitations on daily activities, which presently includes areas within Mexico and Europe.

Remote Work Arrangements and Resumption of Manufacturing Operations

The remote work arrangements that we implemented earlier this year remain in place in most locations. Our remote work arrangements have been designed to allow for continued operation of non-production business-critical functions, including financial reporting systems and internal control. Our controls and procedures have incorporated remote work arrangements using appropriate digital tools.

A successful phased restart of our manufacturing plants, supply network, and other dependent functions occurred in the second quarter of 2020. In significant regions, we have returned to pre-COVID-19 production levels.

Liquidity

We ended the third quarter of 2020 with $45 billion of liquidity, including nearly $30 billion of cash. During the third quarter, we fully repaid the drawn amounts under our $15.5 billion corporate revolvers.

Enhanced Safety Standards

When we returned to work, we established new protocols to help protect the health and safety of our workforce.  Those measures remain in place today, including a daily, online health self-certification, a no-touch temperature scan upon entering our facilities, a policy requiring the use of face masks in our facilities, and measures to provide additional personal protective equipment, including face shields, when employees’ jobs do not allow them to socially distance. We have also enhanced our cleaning protocols and adjusted our operating patterns and breaks to reduce potential employee interaction where possible.

Medical Supplies

We continue to produce medical masks for our employees and dealers. In addition, we have donated 25 million medical-grade face masks to communities in need across the United States, a quarter of the way to reaching our goal of donating 100 million masks through 2021.

Forward Looking Information

The full impact of COVID-19 on future results depends on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak, its impact on our customers, dealers, and suppliers, and the rate at which economic conditions return to pre-COVID-19 levels. Despite the successful restart of our manufacturing operations in the second quarter of 2020 and the strong results we delivered in the third quarter of 2020, we expect our full year 2020 results of operations to be adversely affected by COVID-19. Moreover, new restrictions, such as those that are presently in effect in Mexico and Europe, could have an adverse effect on production, supply chains, distribution, and demand for vehicles. For additional information on the impact and potential impact of COVID-19 on us, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 74.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the third quarter of 2020, the net income attributable to Ford Motor Company was $2,385 million, and Company adjusted EBIT was $3,644 million.

Net income/(loss) includes certain items (“special items”) that are excluded from Company adjusted EBIT. These items are discussed in more detail in Note 20 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. We report special items separately to allow investors analyzing our results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results. Our pre-tax and tax special items were as follows (in millions):

(a)Transit Connect impact of $187 million was accrued in the third quarter of 2019 and paid in the second half of 2020.
(b)Includes related tax effect on special items and tax special items.

We recorded $390 million of pre-tax special item charges in the third quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting global redesign actions in Europe.

In Note 20 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, special items are reflected as a separate reconciling item, as opposed to being allocated among the Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit segments. This reflects the fact that management excludes these items from its review of operating segment results for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources.

In the third quarter of 2020, our diluted earnings per share of Common and Class B Stock was $0.60 and our diluted adjusted earnings per share was $0.65.

Net income/(loss) margin was 6.4% in the third quarter of 2020, up 5.2 percentage points from a year ago. Company adjusted EBIT margin was 9.7% in the third quarter of 2020, up 4.9 percentage points from a year ago.

The year-over-year increases of $1,960 million in net income/(loss) and $1,851 million in Company adjusted EBIT in the third quarter of 2020 were driven by improvements in Automotive EBIT and Ford Credit EBT.

Our results in the third quarter of 2020, particularly in North America, were largely due to short-term offsets to the negative impact COVID-19 has had on our operations and the automotive industry in general. Specifically, demand for new vehicles was higher than expected, and with inventories limited due to the suspension of production in the first half of the year, pricing was healthy and incentives were lower.

The table below shows our third quarter 2020 net income/(loss) attributable to Ford and Company adjusted EBIT by segment.

In the third quarter of 2020, wholesales were down 5 percent driven by lower industry volume. Third quarter 2020 revenue was up 2 percent, driven by favorable mix and higher net pricing, partially offset by lower volume.

Our third quarter 2020 Automotive segment EBIT was $2.6 billion, up $1.3 billion from a year ago, and our third quarter 2020 Automotive EBIT margin was 7.6 percent. The higher EBIT was driven by higher net pricing and lower structural cost, partially offset by higher material cost related to product updates and lower volume and mix.

In South America, third quarter 2020 wholesales declined 39 percent from a year ago, driven by COVID-related lower industry volume, coupled with our decision to exit unprofitable fleet sales in Brazil. Third quarter 2020 revenue decreased 39 percent, driven by lower volume and weaker currencies, partially offset by higher net pricing.

South America’s third quarter 2020 EBIT loss improved $57 million from a year ago with an EBIT margin of negative 17.1 percent. The EBIT improvement reflects aggressive pricing to mitigate high inflation and currency weakening as well as cost reduction efforts. This was South America’s fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year EBIT improvement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Definitions and Information Regarding Automotive Causal Factors

In general, we measure year-over-year change in Automotive segment EBIT using the causal factors listed below, with net pricing and cost variances calculated at present-period volume and mix and exchange:

Market Factors (exclude the impact of unconsolidated affiliate wholesale units):
Volume and Mix – primarily measures EBIT variance from changes in wholesale unit volumes (at prior-year average contribution margin per unit) driven by changes in industry volume, market share, and dealer stocks, as well as the EBIT variance resulting from changes in product mix, including mix among vehicle lines and mix of trim levels and options within a vehicle line
Net Pricing – primarily measures EBIT variance driven by changes in wholesale unit prices to dealers and marketing incentive programs such as rebate programs, low-rate financing offers, special lease offers, and stock adjustments on dealer inventory

Cost:
Contribution Costs – primarily measures EBIT variance driven by per-unit changes in cost categories that typically vary with volume, such as material costs (including commodity and component costs), warranty expense, and freight and duty costs
Structural Costs – primarily measures EBIT variance driven by absolute change in cost categories that typically do not have a directly proportionate relationship to production volume. Structural costs include the following cost categories:
Manufacturing, Including Volume-Related consists primarily of costs for hourly and salaried manufacturing personnel, plant overhead (such as utilities and taxes), and new product launch expense. These costs could be affected by volume for operating pattern actions such as overtime, line-speed, and shift schedules
Engineering consists primarily of costs for engineering personnel, prototype materials, testing, and outside engineering services
Spending-Related consists primarily of depreciation and amortization of our manufacturing and engineering assets, but also includes asset retirements and operating leases
Advertising and Sales Promotions includes costs for advertising, marketing programs, brand promotions, customer mailings and promotional events, and auto shows
Administrative and Selling includes primarily costs for salaried personnel and purchased services related to our staff activities and selling functions, as well as associated information technology costs
Pension and OPEB consists primarily of past service pension costs and other postretirement employee benefit costs

Exchange – primarily measures EBIT variance driven by one or more of the following: (i) transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the relevant entities, (ii) effects of converting functional currency income to U.S. dollars, (iii) effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities of the relevant entities in currencies other than their functional currency, or (iv) results of our foreign currency hedging

Other includes a variety of items, such as parts and services earnings, royalties, government incentives, and compensation-related changes

In addition, definitions and calculations used in this report include:

Wholesales and Revenue – wholesale unit volumes include all Ford and Lincoln badged units (whether produced by Ford or by an unconsolidated affiliate) that are sold to dealerships, units manufactured by Ford that are sold to other manufacturers, units distributed by Ford for other manufacturers, and local brand units produced by our China joint venture, Jiangling Motors Corporation, Ltd. (“JMC”), that are sold to dealerships. Vehicles sold to daily rental car companies that are subject to a guaranteed repurchase option (i.e., rental repurchase), as well as other sales of finished vehicles for which the recognition of revenue is deferred (e.g., consignments), also are included in wholesale unit volumes. Revenue from certain vehicles in wholesale unit volumes (specifically, Ford badged vehicles produced and distributed by our unconsolidated affiliates, as well as JMC brand vehicles) are not included in our revenue

Industry Volume and Market Share – based, in part, on estimated vehicle registrations; includes medium and heavy duty trucks

SAAR – seasonally adjusted annual rate

Mobility Segment

Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs related to our autonomous vehicles and our investment in mobility through Ford Smart Mobility LLC (“FSM”). Autonomous vehicles includes self-driving systems development and vehicle integration, autonomous vehicle research and advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle transportation-as-a-service network development, user experience, and business strategy and business development teams. FSM designs and builds mobility products and subscription services on its own, and collaborates with service providers and technology companies. 

In our Mobility segment, our third quarter 2020 EBIT loss was $281 million, a $9 million improvement from a year ago.

U.S. auction values in the third quarter of 2020 were 5 percent higher than a year ago. Full year 2020 auction values are now forecasted to be up about 2 percent, consistent with third party estimates.

Ford Credit’s third quarter 2020 EBT of $1,123 million was $387 million higher than a year ago, primarily reflecting favorable auction performance on off-lease vehicles, a higher gain in market valuation adjustments to derivatives, and lower operating costs, partially offset by unfavorable volume resulting from lower receivables.

Definitions and Information Regarding Ford Credit Causal Factors

In general, we measure year-over-year changes in Ford Credit’s EBT using the causal factors listed below:

Volume and Mix:
Volume primarily measures changes in net financing margin driven by changes in average managed receivables at prior period financing margin yield (defined below in financing margin) at prior period exchange rates. Volume changes are primarily driven by the volume of new and used vehicles sold and leased, the extent to which Ford Credit purchases retail financing and operating lease contracts, the extent to which Ford Credit provides wholesale financing, the sales price of the vehicles financed, the level of dealer inventories, Ford-sponsored special financing programs available exclusively through Ford Credit, and the availability of cost-effective funding
Mix primarily measures changes in net financing margin driven by period-over-period changes in the composition of Ford Credit’s average managed receivables by product within each region

Financing Margin:
Financing margin variance is the period-to-period change in financing margin yield multiplied by the present period average managed receivables at prior period exchange rates. This calculation is performed at the product and country level and then aggregated. Financing margin yield equals revenue, less interest expense and scheduled depreciation for the period, divided by average managed receivables for the same period
Financing margin changes are driven by changes in revenue and interest expense. Changes in revenue are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, cost assumptions in pricing, mix of business, and competitive environment. Changes in interest expense are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, borrowing spreads, and asset-liability management

Credit Loss:
Credit loss is the change in the provision for credit losses at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits the provision for credit losses into net charge-offs and the change in the allowance for credit losses
Net charge-off changes are primarily driven by the number of repossessions, severity per repossession, and recoveries. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are primarily driven by changes in historical trends in credit losses and recoveries, changes in the composition and size of Ford Credit’s present portfolio, changes in trends in historical used vehicle values, and changes in forward looking macroeconomic conditions. For additional information, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section

Lease Residual:
Lease residual measures changes to residual performance at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits residual performance primarily into residual gains and losses, and the change in accumulated supplemental depreciation
Residual gain and loss changes are primarily driven by the number of vehicles returned to Ford Credit and sold, and the difference between the auction value and the depreciated value (which includes both base and accumulated supplemental depreciation) of the vehicles sold. Changes in accumulated supplemental depreciation are primarily driven by changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the expected auction value at the end of the lease term and changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold. Accumulated depreciation reflects early termination losses on operating leases due to customer default events for all periods presented. For additional information, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2019 Form 10-K Report

Exchange:
Reflects changes in EBT driven by the effects of converting functional currency income to U.S. dollars

Other:
Primarily includes operating expenses, other revenue, insurance expenses, and other income at prior period exchange rates
Changes in operating expenses are primarily driven by salaried personnel costs, facilities costs, and costs associated with the origination and servicing of customer contracts
In general, other income changes are primarily driven by changes in earnings related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives (primarily related to movements in interest rates) and other miscellaneous items

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In addition, the following definitions and calculations apply to Ford Credit when used in this report:

Cash (as shown in the Funding Structure, Liquidity, and Leverage tables) – Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, excluding amounts related to insurance activities

Debt (as shown in the Key Metrics and Leverage tables) – Debt on Ford Credit’s balance sheets. Includes debt issued in securitizations and payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions

Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) – Reflects Ford Credit’s income before income taxes

Return on Equity (ROE) (as shown in the Key Metrics table) – Reflects return on equity calculated by annualizing net income for the period and dividing by monthly average equity for the period

Securitization Cash (as shown in the Liquidity table) – Cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors (for example, a reserve fund)

Securitizations (as shown in the Public Term Funding Plan table) – Public securitization transactions, Rule 144A offerings sponsored by Ford Credit, and widely distributed offerings by Ford Credit Canada

Term Asset-Backed Securities (as shown in the Funding Structure table) – Obligations issued in securitization transactions that are payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements

Total Net Receivables (as shown in the Key Metrics and Ford Credit Net Receivables Reconciliation To Managed Receivables tables) – Includes finance receivables (retail financing and wholesale) sold for legal purposes and net investment in operating leases included in securitization transactions that do not satisfy the requirements for accounting sale treatment. These receivables and operating leases are reported on Ford Credit’s balance sheets and are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations of Ford Credit or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Corporate Other

Corporate Other primarily includes corporate governance expenses, interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment) and gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other investments, and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, and are not allocated to specific Automotive business units or operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. In the third quarter of 2020, Corporate Other had a $158 million profit, compared with an $18 million profit a year ago. The improvement is primarily explained by mark-to-market gains on our investments, partially offset by lower interest income and the nonrecurrence of Pivotal Software mark-to-market gains in the third quarter of 2019.

Interest on Debt

Interest on Debt consists of interest expense on Automotive and Other debt. Third quarter 2020 interest expense on Automotive and Other debt was $498 million, which is $222 million higher than a year ago, more than explained by higher U.S. debt interest expense.

Taxes

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, we recognized tax provisions of $366 million and $1.2 billion, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of 13.3% and 43.8%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months includes tax expense of $1 billion for valuation allowances against certain tax credits recorded as deferred tax assets.

Our third quarter and first nine months of 2020 adjusted effective tax rates, which exclude special items, were 16.7% and 371%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

COVID-19 has created significant volatility in the global economy, led to reduced economic activity, and adversely affected our operations in the first half of 2020. Moreover, our suspension of production earlier this year put pressure on our Automotive liquidity. By May 2020, we restarted manufacturing operations in a phased manner at locations around the world, and in significant regions, we have returned to pre-COVID-19 production levels. Throughout, we demonstrated discipline in the management of our balance sheet and continued to maintain strong liquidity to ensure financial flexibility in these uncertain times. As discussed in more detail below, we ended the third quarter of 2020 with $45.5 billion of liquidity, including $29.5 billion of cash.

We consider our key balance sheet metrics to be: (i) Company cash, which includes cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash, excluding Ford Credit’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash; and (ii) Company liquidity, which includes Company cash, less restricted cash, and total available committed credit lines, excluding Ford Credit’s total available committed credit lines.

For plans without interim remeasurement, the discount rate and rate of expected return assumptions are unchanged from year-end 2019.

Liquidity. At September 30, 2020, we had Company cash of $29.5 billion, an increase of $7.2 billion compared with December 31, 2019, primarily due to our unsecured debt issuance in the second quarter of 2020. At September 30, 2020, about 91% of Company cash was held by consolidated entities domiciled in the United States. To be prepared for an economic downturn, we target an ongoing Company cash balance at or above $20 billion. We expect to have periods when we will be above or below this amount due to: (i) future cash flow expectations, such as for investments in future opportunities, capital investments, debt maturities, pension contributions, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment.

Our Company cash investments primarily include U.S. Department of Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions, investment-grade corporate securities, investment-grade commercial paper, and debt obligations of a select group of non-U.S. governments, non-U.S. governmental agencies, and supranational institutions. The average maturity of these investments is approximately one year and adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs. We monitor our Company cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.

At September 30, 2020, we had Company liquidity of $45.5 billion, an increase of $10.1 billion from December 31, 2019, primarily explained by our higher cash balance and our improved cash flow as discussed below under “Changes in Company Cash.”
50

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Changes in Company Cash. In managing our business, we classify changes in Company cash into operating and non-operating items. Operating items include: Company adjusted EBIT excluding Ford Credit EBT, capital spending, depreciation and tooling amortization, changes in working capital, Ford Credit distributions, and all other and timing differences. Non-operating items include: Global Redesign (including separation payments), changes in Automotive and Other debt, contributions to funded pension plans, shareholder distributions, and other items (including acquisitions and divestitures and other transactions with Ford Credit).

With respect to “Changes in working capital,” in general we carry relatively low Automotive segment trade receivables compared with our trade payables because the majority of our Automotive wholesales are financed (primarily by Ford Credit) immediately upon sale of vehicles to dealers, which generally occurs shortly after being produced. In contrast, our Automotive trade payables are based primarily on industry-standard production supplier payment terms of generally about 45 days. As a result, our cash flow tends to improve as wholesale volumes increase, but can deteriorate when wholesale volumes decrease. Our resumption of manufacturing operations and return to pre-COVID-19 production levels at most of our assembly plants resulted in an improvement of our cash flow as described below. Even in normal economic conditions, these working capital balances generally are subject to seasonal changes that can impact cash flow. For example, we typically experience cash flow timing differences associated with inventories and payables due to our annual summer and December shutdown periods when production, and therefore inventories and wholesale volumes, are usually at their lowest levels, while payables continue to come due and be paid. The net impact of this typically results in cash outflows from changes in our working capital balances during these shutdown periods.

A financial institution offers a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their Ford receivables (i.e., our payment obligations to the suppliers) to the financial institution on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms provide. Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SCF program has no bearing on our payment terms, the amounts we pay, or our liquidity. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the SCF financial institution. Moreover, we do not provide any guarantees in connection with the SCF program. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding amount of Ford receivables that suppliers elected to sell to the SCF financial institution was $153 million. The amount settled through the SCF program during the third quarter of 2020 was $251 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Our third quarter 2020 Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was up $6.4 billion year over year. This improvement is more than explained by the Company excluding Ford Credit operating cash flow, which is up $6.7 billion year over year. Our Company adjusted free cash flow was positive $6.3 billion, which was $6.1 billion higher than a year ago, driven by rebuilding the payables depleted in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID-related suspension of production, which was worth about $4 billion, and higher adjusted EBIT in the third quarter of 2020.

Capital spending was $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2020, $0.6 billion lower than a year ago. We expect full year 2020 capital spending to be between $5.9 billion and $6.4 billion, down from our prior expectation of $6.1 billion to $6.6 billion, and down between $1.2 billion and $1.7 billion from the $7.6 billion of capital spending in 2019.

Third quarter 2020 working capital was $3.9 billion positive, more than explained by the rebuilding of payables, which were depleted in the first half 2020 due to the COVID-related suspension of production. Higher receivables and inventory balances provided a partial offset.

Third quarter 2020 all other and timing differences were $0.8 billion negative, reflecting assorted timing differences including differences between accrual-based EBIT and the associated cash flows (e.g., marketing incentive and warranty payments to dealers), interest payments on Automotive and Other debt, and cash taxes.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, we contributed $147 million and $429 million, respectively, to our worldwide funded pension plans. We continue to expect to contribute between $500 million and $700 million to our funded plans (most of which are mandatory contributions).

There were no shareholder distributions in the third quarter of 2020.

Available Credit Lines. Total Company committed credit lines excluding Ford Credit at September 30, 2020 were $18.5 billion, consisting of $13.5 billion of our corporate credit facility, $2 billion of our supplemental revolving credit facility, $1.5 billion of our delayed draw term loan facility, and $1.5 billion of local credit facilities. In the first quarter of 2020, we submitted borrowing notices to our lenders for the full amounts of both our corporate credit facility and our supplemental revolving credit facility. On July 27, 2020, we repaid $5.7 billion of our corporate credit facility and the full $2 billion under our supplemental revolving credit facility, and on September 24, 2020, we repaid the remaining $7.7 billion outstanding under our corporate credit facility. At September 30, 2020, the utilized portion of the corporate credit facility was $27 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit, and no portion of the supplemental revolving credit facility was utilized. The $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility was drawn in full in 2019 and remains outstanding. In addition, $900 million of committed Company credit lines excluding Ford Credit was utilized under local credit facilities for our affiliates as of September 30, 2020.

Our corporate and supplemental revolving credit facilities were amended in the third quarter of 2020 to extend the maturity dates by one year for a portion of the commitments under each facility. Following the corporate credit facility amendment, $0.4 billion of commitments mature on April 30, 2022, $3 billion of commitments mature on July 27, 2023, and $10.1 billion of commitments mature on April 30, 2024. Following the supplemental revolving credit facility amendment, $0.2 billion of commitments mature on April 30, 2022 and $1.8 billion of commitments mature on July 27, 2023.

The corporate credit facility is unsecured and free of material adverse change conditions to borrowing, restrictive financial covenants (for example, interest or fixed-charge coverage ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and minimum net worth requirements), and credit rating triggers that could limit our ability to obtain funding or trigger early repayment. The corporate credit facility contains a liquidity covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum of $4 billion in aggregate of domestic cash, cash equivalents, and loaned and marketable securities and / or availability under the facility. Further, the terms of the corporate and supplemental revolving credit facilities prohibit share repurchases (with limited exceptions) while any portion of either facility is outstanding and the payment of dividends on our common or Class B stock while more than 50% of the aggregate amount of commitments under the two facilities is utilized. The terms and conditions of the delayed draw term loan (other than the restrictions on share repurchases and dividends) and the supplemental revolving credit facility are consistent with our corporate credit facility.
52

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Each of the corporate credit facility, supplemental revolving credit facility, delayed draw term loan, and our Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE”) include a covenant that requires us to provide guarantees from certain of our subsidiaries in the event that our senior, unsecured, long-term debt does not maintain at least two investment grade ratings from Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P. The following subsidiaries have provided unsecured guarantees to the lenders under the credit facilities and to the DOE: Ford Component Sales, LLC; Ford European Holdings LLC; Ford Global Technologies, LLC; Ford Holdings LLC (the parent company of Ford Credit); Ford International Capital LLC; Ford Mexico Holdings LLC; Ford Motor Service Company; Ford Smart Mobility LLC; and Ford Trading Company, LLC.

In the second quarter of 2020, Ford Motor Company Limited, our operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“Ford of Britain”), entered into, and drew in full, a £625 million term loan credit facility with a syndicate of banks to support Ford of Britain’s general export activities.  Accordingly, U.K. Export Finance (“UKEF”) provided a £500 million guarantee of the credit facility under its new Export Development Guarantee scheme, which supports high value commercial lending to U.K. exporters. We have also guaranteed Ford of Britain’s obligations under the credit facility to the lenders.  As of September 30, 2020, the full £625 million remained outstanding. This five-year, non-amortizing loan matures on June 30, 2025.

Debt. As shown in Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, at September 30, 2020, Company debt excluding Ford Credit was $24.2 billion, including Automotive debt of $23.7 billion. These September 30, 2020 balances were $8.9 billion and $9.1 billion, respectively, higher than at December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting our $8 billion unsecured debt issuance in April 2020, and $15.8 billion lower than at June 30, 2020, primarily reflecting the full repayment of our corporate and supplemental revolving credit facilities in the third quarter of 2020.

Leverage. We manage Company debt (excluding Ford Credit) levels with a leverage framework that targets investment grade credit ratings through a normal business cycle; however, during these uncertain times, we have increased our debt balance and prioritized actions that preserve or improve our cash balance. The leverage framework includes a ratio of total company debt (excluding Ford Credit), underfunded pension liabilities, operating leases, and other adjustments, divided by Company adjusted EBIT (excluding Ford Credit EBT), and further adjusted to exclude depreciation and tooling amortization (excluding Ford Credit).

Ford Credit’s leverage is calculated as a separate business as described in the Liquidity - Ford Credit Segment section of Item 2. Ford Credit is self-funding and its debt, which is used to fund its operations, is separate from our Automotive and Other debt.

Ford Credit Segment

Ford Credit ended the third quarter of 2020 with $31.3 billion of liquidity. During the quarter, Ford Credit completed $7 billion of public term funding. Lower expected originations as a result of COVID-19 are projected to decrease the size of Ford Credit’s balance sheet and reduce Ford Credit’s funding requirements in 2020. Ford Credit expects to modestly increase ABS mix and prudently issue unsecured debt going forward.

Key elements of Ford Credit’s funding strategy include:

Maintain strong liquidity; continue to renew and expand committed ABS capacity
Prudently access public markets
Flexibility to increase ABS mix as needed; preserving assets and committed capacity
Target managed leverage of 8:1 to 9:1
Maintain self-liquidating balance sheet

Ford Credit’s liquidity profile continues to be diverse, robust, and focused on maintaining liquidity levels that meet its business and funding requirements. Ford Credit regularly stress tests its balance sheet and liquidity to ensure that it continues to meet its financial obligations through economic cycles.

Managed receivables were $141 billion at September 30, 2020, and were funded primarily with term debt and term asset-backed securities. Securitized funding as a percent of managed receivables was 38% at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Ford Credit expects the ABS mix to increase modestly going forward. The calendarization of the funding plan will result in quarterly fluctuations of the securitized funding percentage.

Ford Credit’s net liquidity available for use will fluctuate quarterly based on factors including near-term debt maturities, receivable growth, and timing of funding transactions.

At September 30, 2020, Ford Credit’s net liquidity available for use was $31.3 billion, $1.8 billion lower than year-end 2019. Ford Credit’s sources of liquidity include cash, committed asset-backed facilities, and unsecured credit facilities. At September 30, 2020, Ford Credit’s liquidity sources including cash totaled $54.4 billion, up $0.1 billion from year-end 2019.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Balance Sheet Liquidity Profile. Ford Credit defines its balance sheet liquidity profile as the cumulative maturities, including the impact of expected prepayments and allowance for credit losses, of its finance receivables, investment in operating leases, and cash, less the cumulative debt maturities over upcoming annual periods. Ford Credit’s balance sheet is inherently liquid because of the short-term nature of its finance receivables, investment in operating leases, and cash. Ford Credit ensures its cumulative debt maturities have a longer tenor than its cumulative asset maturities. This positive maturity profile is intended to provide additional liquidity after all of its assets have been funded and is in addition to its liquidity stress test.

The following table shows Ford Credit’s cumulative maturities for assets and total debt for the periods presented and unsecured long-term debt maturities in the individual periods presented (in billions):
October - December

Total debt (b) 21  67  90  132 
Memo: Unsecured Long-Term Debt Maturities 17  14  34 
__________
(a)Includes gross finance receivables less the allowance for credit losses (including certain finance receivables that are reclassified in consolidation to Trade and other receivables), investment in operating leases net of accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding amounts related to insurance activities). Amounts shown include the impact of expected prepayments.
(b)Excludes unamortized debt (discount) / premium, unamortized issuance costs, and fair value adjustments.

Maturities of investment in operating leases consist primarily of the portion of rental payments attributable to depreciation over the remaining life of the lease and the expected residual value at lease termination. Maturities of finance receivables and investment in operating leases in the table above include expected prepayments for Ford Credit’s retail installment sale contracts and investment in operating leases. The table above also reflects adjustments to debt maturities to match the asset-backed debt maturities with the underlying asset maturities. All wholesale securitization transactions and wholesale receivables are shown maturing in the next 12 months, even if the maturities extend beyond third quarter 2021. The retail securitization transactions under certain committed asset-backed facilities are assumed to amortize immediately rather than amortizing after the expiration of the commitment period. As of September 30, 2020, Ford Credit had $153 billion of assets, $77 billion of which were unencumbered.

Funding and Liquidity Risks. Ford Credit’s funding plan is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control, including disruption in the capital markets (such as from the impact of COVID-19) and the effects of regulatory changes on the financial markets.

Despite Ford Credit’s diverse sources of funding and liquidity, its ability to maintain liquidity may be affected by, among others, the following factors (not necessarily listed in order of importance or probability of occurrence):

Prolonged disruption of the debt and securitization markets;
Global capital market volatility;
Market capacity for Ford- and Ford Credit-sponsored investments;
General demand for the type of securities Ford Credit offers;
Ford Credit’s ability to continue funding through asset-backed financing structures;
Performance of the underlying assets within Ford Credit’s asset-backed financing structures;
Inability to obtain hedging instruments;
Accounting and regulatory changes (including LIBOR); and
Ford Credit’s ability to maintain credit facilities and committed asset-backed facilities.

Total Company

Pension Plans - Underfunded Balances. As of September 30, 2020, our total Company pension underfunded status reported on our consolidated balance sheets was $5.8 billion and reflects the net underfunded status at December 31, 2019, updated for service and interest cost, expected return on assets, curtailment and settlement gains, and associated interim remeasurement (where applicable), separation expense, actual benefit payments, and cash contributions.  For plans without interim remeasurement, the discount rate and rate of expected return assumptions are unchanged from year-end 2019.

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). We analyze total Company performance using an adjusted ROIC financial metric based on an after-tax, rolling four quarter average. The following table contains the calculation of our ROIC for the periods shown (in billions):

CREDIT RATINGS

Our short-term and long-term debt is rated by four credit rating agencies designated as nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: DBRS, Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P.

In several markets, locally recognized rating agencies also rate us. A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the credit risk associated with a corporate entity or particular securities issued by that entity. Rating agencies’ ratings of us are based on information provided by us and other sources. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating agency may have different criteria for evaluating company risk and, therefore, ratings should be evaluated independently for each rating agency.

The following rating actions were taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020:

On August 11, 2020, S&P affirmed the credit ratings for Ford and Ford Credit at BB+, removed the ratings from CreditWatch with negative implications, and revised the outlook to negative.

The following table summarizes certain of the credit ratings and outlook presently assigned by these four NRSROs:

OUTLOOK

We provided 2020 Company guidance in our earnings release furnished on Form 8-K dated October 28, 2020. The guidance is based on our expectations as of October 28, 2020 and assumes no material change to the current economic environment, continued steady improvement in the stability of the global automotive supply base, and no further significant COVID-19-related disruptions to production or distribution since the third quarter of 2020. Our actual results could differ materially from our guidance due to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2019 Form 10-K Report and as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC, including the updates in Item 1A of this 10-Q Report.
2020 Guidance
Total Company
Adjusted EBIT (a)
Q4 $(0.5) - $0.0 billion
Full Year $0.6 - $1.1 billion
Capital spending $5.9 - $6.4 billion
Pension contributions $0.5 - $0.7 billion
Global Redesign EBIT charges $0.7 - $1.2 billion
Global Redesign cash effects $0.7 - $1.2 billion
Ford Credit
Auction values Up about 2% (b)
Total public funding issuances $21 - $24 billion
(a)When we provide guidance for Adjusted EBIT we do not provide guidance for net income/(loss), the most comparable GAAP measure, because, as described in more detail below in “Non-GAAP Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures,” it includes items that are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.
(b)On average compared with full year 2019 at constant mix.

For fourth quarter 2020, we expect Company adjusted EBIT to be between a loss of $0.5 billion and breakeven. The key drivers behind the lower expected quarter-over-quarter Company adjusted EBIT are described below.

First, we expect a reduction in wholesales of about 100,000 units associated with the F-150 changeover. The approximate 100,000 unit impact in the fourth quarter of 2020 is expected to outweigh the effect of our UAW ratification bonus in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was about $600 million.

Second, we expect higher structural and other costs due to manufacturing launch activities for the Mustang Mach-E and Bronco Sport, advertising launch activities for new products, including the all-new Bronco brand, and higher material and other costs.

Third, we expect Ford Credit’s EBT to be lower, driven by strong but lower auction values and lower disposals at auction, but higher than a year ago.

For full year 2020, we expect Company adjusted EBIT to be in the range of $0.6 billion to $1.1 billion.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP MEASURES

We use both generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. The non-GAAP measures listed below are intended to be considered by users as supplemental information to their equivalent GAAP measures, to aid investors in better understanding our financial results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends, and a means to assess our period-over-period results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted.

Company Adjusted EBIT (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Income Attributable to Ford) – Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) excludes interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), taxes and pre-tax special items. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. Pre-tax special items consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities.  When we provide guidance for adjusted EBIT, we do not provide guidance on a net income basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

Company Adjusted EBIT Margin (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Company Net Income Margin) – Company Adjusted EBIT margin is Company adjusted EBIT divided by Company revenue. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Earnings Per Share) – Measure of Company’s diluted net earnings per share adjusted for impact of pre-tax special items (described above), tax special items and restructuring impacts in noncontrolling interests. The measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate performance of our business excluding items not indicative of the underlying run rate of our business. When we provide guidance for adjusted earnings per share, we do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of Company’s tax rate excluding pre-tax special items (described above) and tax special items. The measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting. When we provide guidance for adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide guidance on an effective tax rate basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

Company Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Cash Provided By / (Used In) Operating Activities) – Measure of Company’s operating cash flow excluding Ford Credit’s operating cash flows. The measure contains elements management considers operating activities, including Automotive and Mobility capital spending, Ford Credit distributions to its parent, and settlement of derivatives. The measure excludes cash outflows for funded pension contributions, global redesign (including separations), and other items that are considered operating cash flows under U.S. GAAP. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management’s assessment of the Company’s operating cash flow performance. When we provide guidance for Company adjusted free cash flow, we do not provide guidance for net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities because the GAAP measure will include items that are difficult to quantify or predict with reasonable certainty, including cash flows related to the Company's exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices (separate from any related hedges), Ford Credit's operating cash flows, and cash flows related to special items, including separation payments, each of which individually or in the aggregate could have a significant impact to our net cash provided by/(used in) our operating activities.
62

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Adjusted ROIC – Calculated as the sum of adjusted net operating profit after cash tax from the last four quarters, divided by the average invested capital over the last four quarters. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“Adjusted ROIC”) provides management and investors with useful information to evaluate the Company’s after-cash tax operating return on its invested capital for the period presented. Adjusted net operating profit after cash tax measures operating results less special items, interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and certain pension/OPEB costs. Average invested capital is the sum of average balance sheet equity, debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and net pension/OPEB liability.

Ford Credit Managed Receivables (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Finance Receivables plus Net Investment in Operating Leases) – Measure of Ford Credit’s total net receivables, excluding unearned interest supplements and residual support, allowance for credit losses, and other (primarily accumulated supplemental depreciation). The measure is useful to management and investors as it closely approximates the customer’s outstanding balance on the receivables, which is the basis for earning revenue.

Ford Credit Managed Leverage (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Financial Statement Leverage) – Ford Credit’s debt-to-equity ratio adjusted (i) to exclude cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (other than amounts related to insurance activities), and (ii) for derivative accounting. The measure is useful to investors because it reflects the way Ford Credit manages its business. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are deducted because they generally correspond to excess debt beyond the amount required to support operations and on-balance sheet securitization transactions. Derivative accounting adjustments are made to asset, debt, and equity positions to reflect the impact of interest rate instruments used with Ford Credit’s term-debt issuances and securitization transactions. Ford Credit generally repays its debt obligations as they mature, so the interim effects of changes in market interest rates are excluded in the calculation of managed leverage.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Automotive Segment

Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of September 30, 2020, was an asset of $244 million, compared with a liability of $596 million as of December 31, 2019. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, would have been $2.3 billion at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of September 30, 2020, was an asset of $3 million, compared with a liability of $24 million at December 31, 2019. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices would have been $114 million at September 30, 2020, compared with $112 million at December 31, 2019.

Ford Credit Segment
  
Interest Rate Risk. To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of its pre-tax cash flow to changes in interest rates, Ford Credit uses interest rate scenarios that assume a hypothetical, instantaneous increase or decrease of one percentage point in all interest rates across all maturities (a “parallel shift”), as well as a base case that assumes that all interest rates remain constant at existing levels. The differences in pre-tax cash flow between these scenarios and the base case over a 12-month period represent an estimate of the sensitivity of Ford Credit’s pre-tax cash flow. Under this model, Ford Credit estimates that at September 30, 2020, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increase its pre-tax cash flow by $4 million over the next 12 months, compared with a decrease of $26 million at December 31, 2019. In reality, interest rate changes are rarely instantaneous or parallel and rates could move more or less than the one percentage point assumed in Ford Credit’s analysis. As a result, the actual impact to pre-tax cash flow could be higher or lower than the results detailed above.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. James D. Farley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and John T. Lawler, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2020, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Effective October 1, 2020, James D. Farley, Jr., formerly our Chief Operating Officer, succeeded James P. Hackett as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hackett will serve as Advisor to the Company until his retirement on March 31, 2021. Also effective October 1, 2020, John T. Lawler, formerly our CEO of Ford Autonomous Vehicles and Vice President, Mobility Partnerships, succeeded Tim Stone as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Stone elected to resign from the Company to pursue a new opportunity.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

OTHER MATTERS

Brazilian Tax Matters (as previously reported on page 23 of our 2019 Form 10-K Report, on page 72 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and on page 72 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020). One Brazilian state (São Paulo) and the Brazilian federal tax authority currently have outstanding substantial tax assessments against Ford Brazil related to state and federal tax incentives Ford Brazil receives for its operations in the Brazilian state of Bahia. All assessments have been appealed to the relevant administrative court of each jurisdiction. In the State of Minas Gerais, one case that had been pending at the administrative level was dismissed on April 1, 2020, and on July 13, 2020, the other two cases that were on appeal to the judicial court were dismissed. Our appeals with the State of São Paulo and the federal tax authority remain at the administrative level. To proceed with an appeal within the judicial court system, an appellant may be required to post collateral, which would likely be significant. To date we have not been required to post any collateral.

The state assessments are part of a broader conflict among various states in Brazil. The federal legislature enacted laws designed to encourage the states to end that conflict, and in 2017 the states reached an agreement on a framework for resolution. Ford Brazil continues to pursue a resolution under the framework and expects the amount of any remaining assessments by the states to be resolved under that framework. The federal assessments are outside the scope of the legislation.

Emissions Certification (as previously reported on page 23 of our 2019 Form 10-K Report). Beginning in 2018 and continuing into 2020, the Company investigated a potential concern involving its U.S. emissions certification process. The matter focused on issues related to road load estimations, including analytical modeling and coastdown testing. The potential concern did not involve the use of defeat devices (see page 8 of our 2019 Form 10-K Report for a definition of defeat devices). We voluntarily disclosed this matter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) on February 18, 2019 and February 21, 2019, respectively. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) opened a criminal investigation into the matter. In addition, we notified a number of other state and federal agencies. We cooperated fully with these government agencies. We received notifications from CARB and DOJ that these agencies have closed their inquiries into the matter referenced above and do not intend to take any further action. Reviews opened by EPA and Environment and Climate Change Canada remain open.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

The following risk factor supplements the risk factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in our 2019 Form 10-K Report, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K:

Ford and Ford Credit’s financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19.  We face various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the deadly global outbreak of COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. There have been extraordinary actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world, including travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. To the extent cases surge in any locations, stringent limitations on daily activities that may have been eased previously could be reinstated in those areas.

Consistent with the actions taken by governmental authorities, in late March 2020, we idled our manufacturing operations in regions around the world other than China, where manufacturing operations were suspended in January and February before beginning to resume operations in March. By May 2020, taking a phased approach and after introducing new safety protocols at our plants, we resumed manufacturing operations around the world.

The economic slowdown attributable to COVID-19 led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world. As described in more detail under “Industry sales volume in any of our key markets can be volatile and could decline if there is a financial crisis, recession, or significant geopolitical event” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, a sustained decline in vehicle sales would have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.

The predominant share of Ford Credit’s business consists of financing Ford and Lincoln vehicles, and the duration or reemergence of COVID-19 or similar public health issues may negatively impact the level of originations at Ford Credit. For example, Ford’s suspension of manufacturing operations, a significant decline in dealer showroom traffic, and / or a reduction of operations at dealers may lead to a significant decline in Ford Credit’s consumer and non-consumer originations. Moreover, a sustained decline in sales could have a significant adverse effect on dealer profitability and creditworthiness. Further, COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on many businesses and unemployment rates have increased sharply from pre-COVID-19 levels. Ford Credit expects the economic uncertainty and higher unemployment to result in higher defaults in its consumer portfolio, and prolonged unemployment is expected to have a negative impact on both new and used vehicle demand.

The global economic slowdown and stay-at-home orders enacted across the United States disrupted auction activity in many locations, which adversely impacted and caused delays in realizing the resale value for off-lease and repossessed vehicles. Although auction performance has improved, future or additional restrictions could have a similar adverse impact on Ford Credit. For more information about the impact of higher credit losses and lower residual values on Ford Credit’s business, see “Ford Credit could experience higher-than-expected credit losses, lower-than-anticipated residual values, or higher-than-expected return volumes for leased vehicles” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As described in more detail under “Ford and Ford Credit’s access to debt, securitization, or derivative markets around the world at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts could be affected by credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruption, regulatory requirements, or other factors” in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the volatility created by COVID-19 adversely affected Ford Credit’s access to the debt and securitization markets and its cost of funding, and any volatility in the capital markets as a result of a surge in cases of COVID-19 or for any other reason could have an adverse impact on Ford Credit’s access to those markets and its cost of funding.
74

Item 1A. Risk Factors (Continued)
The full impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the outbreak (including any potential second wave or future waves), its impact on our customers, dealers, and suppliers, how quickly normal economic conditions, operations, and the demand for our products can resume, the duration and severity of the current recession, and any permanent behavioral changes that the pandemic may cause. For example, in the event manufacturing operations are again suspended, fully ramping up our production schedule to prior levels may take longer than the prior resumption and will depend, in part, on whether our suppliers and dealers have resumed normal operations. Our automotive operations generally do not realize revenue while our manufacturing operations are suspended, but we continue to incur operating and non-operating expenses, resulting in a deterioration of our cash flow. Accordingly, any significant future disruption to our production schedule, whether as a result of our own or a supplier’s suspension of operations, could have a substantial adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. Further, government-sponsored liquidity or stimulus programs in response to COVID-19 may not be available to our customers, suppliers, dealers, or us, and if available, may nevertheless be insufficient to address the impacts of COVID-19. Moreover, our supply and distribution chains may be disrupted by supplier or dealer bankruptcies or their permanent discontinuation of operations. We continue to expect our full year 2020 results of operations to be adversely affected by COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, but not limited to, our competitiveness, demand or market acceptance for our products, and shifting consumer preferences.

Mr. James D. Farley, Jr.
[Redacted]

Dear Jim,

Congratulations on your appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, Ford Motor Company, effective October 1, 2020, reporting to Bill Ford.

This accession acknowledgement describes in detail the compensation package the Compensation Committee has approved for you.

Base Salary:

Your annualized base salary will be $1,700,000, payable monthly.

Annual Incentive Compensation Plan Target:

Your 2020 bonus target will be adjusted to $1,952,500 which is a pro-rated amount for months worked as EVP, COO and CEO. Beginning in 2021 and subject to Compensation Committee approval, your annual bonus target will be equivalent to 200% of your annual base salary.
Final AICP awards are dependent on Company performance and are subject to final approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based on your individual performance. The award for the 2020 performance year will be paid in March 2021 and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan.

Long Term Incentives – Accession Grant:

In consideration of your appointment as President and CEO, you will receive an additional 2020 stock grant valued at $4,000,000. The value of this grant will be delivered in the form of 100% stock options with a grant date of August 5, 2020.

The quantity of stock options will be determined by the Black-Scholes method based on the closing price Fair Market Value (FMV) of Ford Common Stock on the grant date. The stock options will be subject to three-year vesting – 33% vest one year from grant date, another 33% after two years from grant date, and the balance of 34% after three years from grant date. The stock options will have a ten-year term. You will have the right to exercise these stock options after both of the following conditions are met:
The options have vested.
The closing price of Ford stock meets or exceeds $9.24 for at least 20 consecutive trading days at any time during the life of the options. $9.24 is the average closing price of Ford stock during the month of December 2019.

1



You will be notified of the quantity of stock options as soon as practicable after the August 5, 2020 grant date.

Long Term Incentives – Annual Grant:

Your March 2021 stock grant will be an amount typical for the Company’s CEO as determined by the Compensation Committee. For reference, the annual stock grants for previous CEOs have had a typical grant date value of $11 million to $13 million.

All stock awards are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and subject to all terms and conditions of the Company’s 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Benefits and Perquisites:

Information concerning perquisites afforded the President and CEO position, and changes to your other benefits will be communicated to you by the Compensation and Benefit Office at your convenience in the coming weeks. All items described in this letter, and communicated to you in the future, are subject to terms, conditions, and requirements of the Company’s existing benefit plans and programs. The terms of these benefit plans or programs may be amended from time to time in the future.

Nature of Employment:

You will be an at-will employee of the Company, meaning that your employment may be terminated at any time, by the Company or by you, for any reason, except as prohibited by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company terminates your employment for reasons, other than "for cause" (as defined in Attachment I), during the first five (5) years of your appointment to President and CEO, or if there is a change in control (as defined in Attachment I) of the Company during the first five (5) years of your appointment to President and CEO accompanied by a termination of your employment for good reason (as defined in Attachment I) the Company will pay you one (1) times your annual base salary plus annual bonus target and remove any outstanding vesting requirements (including the $9.24 price requirement), for the $4,000,000 accession stock option grant. Should you leave Ford and accept this separation payment, it is made on the condition that you do not join a competitor for two (2) years after the date of your termination and also sign and deliver an acceptable Waiver and Release. You will not be entitled to any separation payment if you are terminated or released at any time "for cause,” as described in Attachment I, or if you retire.

Recoupment Policy:

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a recoupment policy that applies to: (i) awards paid in the current and future years pursuant to the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan; (ii) Final Awards for Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units in the current performance year and future performance years; and (iii) stock options granted in the current year and future years (the “Awards”).
The Awards will be subject to recoupment by the Company from an officer under the following circumstances: (i) the Company issues a material restatement of its financial statements and such restatement was caused by such officer’s intentional misconduct; (ii) such officer was found to be in violation of non-compete provisions of any plan or agreement; or (iii) such officer has committed ethical or criminal violations. The Compensation Committee will consider all relevant factors and exercise business judgment in determining any appropriate amounts to recoup up to 100% of any Awards.

Tax Consequences and Possible Delays in Payment to Avoid Penalties:
Except as otherwise provided, you are solely responsible and liable for all taxes that may arise in connection with the compensation and benefits that you receive from Ford. This includes any tax arising under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). In the event Ford determines that you are a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A, any nonqualified deferred compensation benefit payable upon termination of employment while a “specified employee” will be
2



delayed until the first day of the seventh month following such termination. Nothing in this agreement obligates the Company to minimize any of your individual tax obligations resulting from this agreement.

Please consult your personal financial or tax advisor about the tax consequences of your compensation and benefits. No one at Ford is authorized to provide this advice to you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Kiersten Robinson

Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Section 8, the term “Covered Employee” shall mean a Key Employee who is a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of any Award that otherwise would be awarded to any participant for any Performance Period. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, increase the amount of any Award that otherwise would be awarded to any participant for a Performance Period to an amount that is higher than the applicable Pro Forma Award Amount based on exceptional individual, unit, group or Company performance; provided, however, that the total amount of all Awards made for a Performance Period shall not exceed the related Maximum Award Pool. Individual Award amounts may be less than or greater than 100% of the related Target Award. The determinations by the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee of individual Award amounts for Employees who are not Section 16 Persons shall be subject to a maximum funding amount and any other limitations specified by the Compensation Committee.

5

        (b) Deferral of Awards. Subject to the terms, conditions and eligibility requirements of the DC Plan, Key Employees who receive an Award under the Plan are eligible to defer payment of all or part of such Award under the DC Plan under the same terms as if such Award had been an award of supplemental compensation made under the SC Plan. In no event may any deferral election made under the DC Plan pursuant to this paragraph be made later than the last day of the sixth month of the applicable Performance Period. Additionally, no deferral election may be made under the DC Plan pursuant to this paragraph if, at the time of such election, the amount of any Award subject to such deferral election is substantially certain.

        (c) Mandatory Deferral of Awards. The Compensation Committee shall determine whether, and the extent to which, any Awards under the Plan will be mandatorily deferred and the terms of any such deferral. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, Awards may be mandatorily deferred by such Committee in the same manner as if they had been awards of supplemental compensation made under the SC Plan. In no event may any mandatory deferral pursuant to this paragraph be made later than the last day of the sixth month of the applicable Performance Period. Additionally, no mandatory deferral may be made pursuant to this paragraph if, at the time of such mandatory deferral, the amount of any Award subject to such mandatory deferral is substantially certain.

    16. Effect of Death.

        (a) Distribution upon Death. Subject to Section 15, and any applicable deferral plan or arrangement (including the DC Plan), and except as otherwise provided in Section 16(b), if a participant dies prior to distribution of all or part of an Award, the undistributed amount of such participant's Award shall be distributed in a single lump sum cash payment in accordance with Section 15(a) and applicable law. Any such payment will be paid at, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, such time as the participant’s Award would have been paid to the participant if the participant had survived and fulfilled all applicable earning out conditions under Section 17 and any applicable deferral plan or arrangement (including the DC Plan) until the date of death.

        (b) Designation of Beneficiaries by U.S. Participants. Notwithstanding Section 16(a), a participant who is subject to U.S. laws may file a written beneficiary designation with the Company (in such form and manner, and subject to such limitations, as the Compensation Committee may determine) to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any undistributed amount of an Award that was not deferred under a Company deferral arrangement or plan and that would have been payable to such participant had the participant survived and fulfilled all applicable earning out conditions under Section 17 and any applicable deferral plan or arrangement (including the DC Plan) until the time of death. Any such beneficiary designation shall be controlling; provided, however, that if applicable law requires the Company to pay all or any portion of such an amount to the legal representative(s) of the participant, such payment shall satisfy any and all liability and/or obligation under the Plan with respect to such participant. Participants may revoke or change such a beneficiary designation from time to time. Subject to the provisions of Section 15, and any applicable deferral plan or arrangement (including the DC Plan), upon the death of a participant who has designated a beneficiary in accordance with this Section 16(b), the undistributed amount of such participant's Award shall be distributed to any surviving designated beneficiary or beneficiaries in a single lump sum cash payment in accordance with Section 15(a) at, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, such time as the participant’s Award would have been paid to the participant if such participant had survived. If a participant who is subject to U.S. law does not file a written beneficiary designation in accordance with this Section 16(b), or such designated beneficiary does not survive the participant, any undistributed amount of an Award that otherwise would have been payable to such participant shall be paid to such participant’s legal estate.
    
    17. Conditions to Payment of Awards.

        (a) Effect of Competitive Activity. Anything in the Plan notwithstanding, and subject to paragraph (c) hereof and, if applicable, any conditions under the DC Plan or any other deferral plan or arrangement relating to payment of an Award, if the employment of any participant shall terminate, for any reason other than death, prior to the distribution date established pursuant to Section 15(a) for payment of an Award, such participant


6

shall receive payment of an Award only if, during the entire period from the making of an Award until such distribution date, such participant shall have earned out such Award

        (i) by continuing in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, or

        (ii) if his or her employment shall have been terminated for any reason other than death, by (a) making himself or herself available, upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to consult with, supply information to and otherwise cooperate with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to any matter that shall have been handled by him or her or under his or her supervision while he or she was in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, and (b) refraining from engaging in any activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any activity of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof.

        (b) Nonfulfillment of Competitive Activity Conditions; Waiver of Conditions Under the Plan. In the event of a participant's nonfulfillment of any condition set forth in paragraph (a) above, such participant's rights under the Plan to receive or defer payment of an Award under the Plan shall be forfeited and canceled; provided, however, that the nonfulfillment of such condition may at any time (whether before, at the time of or subsequent to termination of employment) be waived in the following manner:
        (i) with respect to a participant who at any time shall have been a Section 16 Person, such waiver may be granted by the Compensation Committee upon its determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have been and will not be any substantial adverse effect upon the Company or any Subsidiary thereof; and

        (ii) with respect to any other participant, such waiver may be granted by the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee (or any committee appointed by it) upon its determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have been and will not be any such substantial adverse effect.

        (c) Effect of Inimical Conduct. Anything in the Plan to the contrary, the right of a participant, following termination of such participant's employment with the Company, to receive payment or to defer payment of an Award under Section 15 shall terminate on and as of the date on which it his been determined that such participant at any time (whether before or subsequent to termination of such participant's employment) acted in a manner inimical to the best interests of the Company. Any such determination shall be made by (i) the Compensation Committee with respect to any participant who at any time shall have been a Section 16 Person, and (ii) the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee (or any committee appointed by it for the purpose) with respect to any other participant. Such Committee (or any such other committee) may make such determination at any time prior to payment in full of an Award. Conduct which constitutes engaging in any activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any activity of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be governed by Section 17(a)(ii) and shall not be subject to any determination under this paragraph (c).

    18. Limitations. A participant shall not have any interest in any Award until it is distributed in accordance with the Plan. The fact that a Key Employee has been selected to be a participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle such participant to receive an Award for such period. The determination as to whether or not such participant shall be paid an Award for such Performance Period shall be determined solely in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14 and 17 hereof. All payments and distributions to be made thereunder shall be paid from the general assets of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any employee, former employee or any other person. The Plan shall not constitute part of any participant's or employee's employment contract with the Company or any participating subsidiary. Participation in the Plan shall not create or imply a right to continued employment.

    19. Withholding of Taxes, etc. The Company shall have the right to withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local income taxes, FICA or Medicare taxes or other amounts that the Company may be required by law to pay with respect to any Award, including withholding payment from a participant's current compensation. The Company has no duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes an


7

individual’s tax liabilities, including tax liabilities arising as a result of any distribution or Awards under the Plan. No claim shall be made against the Plan relating to tax liabilities arising from employment with the Company and/or any compensation or benefit arrangements sponsored or maintained by the Company, including this Plan.

    20. No Assignment of Benefits. No rights or benefits under the Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, be subject to assignment (except for the designation of beneficiaries pursuant to Section 16(a)), nor shall such rights or benefits be subject to attachment or legal process for or against a participant or his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries, as the case may be.

    21. Administration Expense. The entire expense of offering and administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its participating Subsidiaries.

    22. Access of Independent Certified Public Accountants and Committee to Information. The Company's independent certified public accountants shall have full access to the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall furnish to such accountants such information as to the financial condition and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries as such accountants may from time to time request, in order that such accountants may take any action required or requested to be taken by them under the Plan. The Chief Financial Officer or, in the event of his or her absence or disability to act, the principal accounting officer of the Company shall furnish to the Committee such information as the Committee may request to assist it in carrying out or interpreting this Plan. Neither such accountants, in reporting amounts required or requested under the Plan, nor the Chief Financial Officer, or any other director, officer or employee of the Company, in furnishing information to such accountants or to the Committee, shall be liable for any error therein, if such accountants or other person, as the case may be, shall have acted in good faith.

    23. Amendment, Modification, Suspension and Termination of the Plan; Rescissions and Corrections. The Compensation Committee, at any time may terminate, and at any time and from time to time, and in any respect, may amend or modify the Plan or suspend any of its provisions; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall, without the consent of a participant, adversely affect any right or obligation with respect to any Award theretofore made. The Committee at any time may rescind or correct any actions made in error or that jeopardize the intended tax status or legal compliance of the Plan.
    
    24. Indemnification and Exculpation.

        (a) Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Compensation Committee or a member of the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which such person may be or become a party or in which such person may be or become involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such person in settlement thereof (with the Company's written approval) or paid by such person in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment in favor of the Company based upon a finding of such person's lack of good faith; subject, however, to the condition that upon the institution of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against such person, such person shall in writing give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such person undertakes to handle and defend it on such person's behalf. The right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right to which such person may be entitled as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold such person harmless.

        (b) Exculpation. Each member of the Compensation Committee and each member of the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any information furnished in connection with the administration of the Plan or any appropriate person or persons other than such person. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Compensation Committee or a member of the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee be held liable for any determination made or other action


8

taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such information, or for any action (including the furnishing of information) taken or any failure to act, if in good faith.

    25. Finality of Determinations. Each determination, interpretation or other action made or taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan by the Compensation Committee or the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons, including, but without limitation thereto, the Company, its stockholders, the Compensation Committee and each of the members thereof, the Annual Incentive Compensation Committee and each of the members thereof, and the directors, officers, and employees of the Company, the Plan participants, and their respective successors in interest.

    26. Code Section 409A. All Awards are intended to be exempt from, or in compliance with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and the regulations issued thereunder, and the Plan is to be construed accordingly. The Company reserves the right to take such action as the Company deems necessary or desirable to ensure Awards are exempt from, or comply with, Code Section 409A, and the regulations issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any employee or beneficiary receiving a distribution of cash, Stock, or Other Stock-Based Award shall be responsible for any taxes related to such distribution, including any taxes under Code Section 409A.

    27. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.

After September 30, 2020, I will perform my employment duties on an as needed basis and as directed by Ford until the Separation Date.

I shall continue to be compensated at my current annual salary until the Separation Date, provided, however, if I commence full-time employment with another employer at any time prior to the Separation Date, I will from that time forward cease to receive compensation from Ford. I agree and acknowledge that I would not otherwise be entitled to continued employment through the Separation Date as described in this paragraph but for my execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Ford terminates my employment for Cause prior to the Separation Date, Ford shall have no further obligations to me hereunder. For purposes hereof, “Cause” means (i) my conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence in providing services to Ford, (iii) my violation of any securities laws or regulations, (iv) my violation of any other laws that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect my ability to provide services to Ford, or (v) my violation of any of my obligations hereunder, or any conduct contrary to or in breach of my representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 6,

2.Separation Benefits

In exchange for the consideration set forth herein, the sufficiency of which I hereby acknowledge, and subject to my execution of, and continued compliance with, this Waiver and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”), as well as my execution and non-revocation of Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Second Release of Claims”), I will be entitled to receive the compensation items, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

I understand that in order to receive the consideration described in this Paragraph 2, I am required to (i) sign this Agreement and return the document to Kiersten Robinson, Chief Human Resources Officer, no later than 12:00 pm Eastern Time September 30, 2020, and (ii) no earlier than my Separation Date, and no later than October 21, 2020, sign and return the
1



Second Release of Claims to Kiersten Robinson. I further understand that I will not be entitled to the consideration in this Paragraph 2 if I fail to timely execute or if I revoke the Second Release of Claims, and that I shall forfeit any unpaid consideration described in this Paragraph 2. I understand that my employment at Ford will end upon my Separation Date and this Agreement will remain in effect, whether or not I choose to sign and not revoke the Second Release of Claims.

I understand that I will not be entitled to any other separation payment, that all other unvested time-based restricted stock units, unexercised stock options, performance-based restricted stock units still in their performance periods, and any final award not yet granted related to any performance-based restricted stock units whose performance period has ended will be forfeited except as specified in Exhibit A.

3.Release of Claims

In consideration of the benefits described herein, I unconditionally and irrevocably waive, abandon and release any and all rights or claims of any kind (including all claims that relate to my employment or termination of employment) that I may have, or my heirs, executors, agents or assigns may have, against Ford Motor Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries, respective officers, directors, board members, agents or employees, and the employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company, and their fiduciaries (the “Released Entities”).

Furthermore, I represent that (a) I have not sustained any injuries during the time of my employment which are compensable as part of a workers’ compensation claim, and (b) as of the date of my execution of this Agreement, I am not aware of any non-compliance by the Released Entities with, or their potential violation of, any federal or state statute, regulation, other administrative guidance, or common law doctrine, including but not limited to non-compliance or potential violation of any statute, regulation, guidance, or common law doctrine regarding discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, national origin, religion, or other protected status. I understand that the Company has relied on these material representations in determining the amount of the benefits described herein and deciding to enter into this Agreement. Except as provided in Paragraph 4 below, I agree not to start any proceedings of any kind against the Released Entities relating in any way to my employment or the termination of my employment and I agree to terminate any proceedings I may have begun or withdraw from any I may be participating in relating to my employment. This waiver and release includes, but is not limited to, any and all rights or claims, whether known or unknown, I may have under all laws (including statutes, regulations, other administrative guidance, and common law doctrines), such as the following:

Anti-discrimination statutes, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 1981 and 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and Executive Order 11,246, which prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of handicap; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment on account of disability; the Equal Pay Act,
2



which prohibits paying men and women unequal pay for equal work; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations prohibiting employment discrimination.

Federal employment statutes, such as the WARN Act, which requires that advance notice be given of certain work force reductions; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which among other things, protects employee benefits; the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which regulates wage and hour matters; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which requires employers to provide leaves of absence under certain circumstances; and any other federal laws relating to employment, such as veterans’ reemployment rights laws.

Any other laws, such as any federal, state or local laws or regulations, or any common law doctrines related in any way to employment, employment discrimination, or workers compensation benefits, any federal, state or local law enforcing employment contracts, either express or implied or requiring an employer to deal with employees fairly and in good faith, and any other federal, state, or local laws providing recourse for alleged defamation, slander, libel, fraud, wrongful discharge, constructive discharge or tort-based claims, including but not limited to, intentional infliction of emotional distress.

4.Rights or Claims That Survive

I do not waive or release any rights or claims I may have that arise solely from actions taken, or events or occurrences taking place, after this Agreement is signed or any rights or claims that are not permitted by law to be waived or released, such as workers’ compensation claims. I also do not waive and release (i) any claims I may have against the Company for reimbursement of authorized expenses if the expense was incurred prior to my Separation Date, (ii) with respect to any amounts or benefits to which I may be entitled under and in accordance with Paragraph 2 of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) any rights that I may have to indemnification under the terms of any applicable indemnification agreement with the Company, the organizational documents of the Company, the terms of any insurance policy, the terms of any Company indemnification policy, the terms of applicable law or otherwise, and (iv) vested rights, if any, under and in accordance with the terms of any applicable employee benefit plan in which I participate and amendments thereto. Rights or claims that the Company may have against me also survive. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to affect the independent right and responsibility of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or a state or local fair employment practices agency acting as an EEOC referral agency. I also understand that nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or document prohibits me from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal, state, or local government agency (including law enforcement) about a potential violation of a federal, state, or local law or regulation. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement or document prohibits me from cooperating or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by a federal, state, or local government agency charged with enforcement of any law. However, to the extent an action or proceeding may be brought by
3



any government agency with respect to any alleged acts or omissions prior to my execution of this Agreement, I expressly acknowledge and agree that I have relinquished any entitlement to, and will not accept, any form of monetary damages or any other form of relief in connection with any such action or proceeding. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent me from disclosing factual information regarding any discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or other unlawful employment practices I may claim to have experienced or witnessed at Ford.

5.Confidential Information

In consideration of the benefits described herein, I agree to keep secret and forever hold in strictest confidence, and shall not, furnish, make available or disclose to any third party or use for my benefit or the benefit of any third party, any Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, Confidential Information means any information relating to the business or affairs of the Company, including but not limited to information relating to financial statements, customer identities, potential customers, employees, suppliers, servicing methods, equipment, product or service programs, cycle plans, strategies and information, databases and information systems, analyses, profit margins, comparative or futuring studies, information relating to litigation and other disputes, public relations strategies, or other proprietary information used by the Company, whether or not generated by the Company or purchased by the Company through business consultants. Confidential Information shall not include any information in the public domain or becomes known in the industry through no wrongful act on my part. I acknowledge that the Confidential Information is vital, sensitive, confidential and proprietary to the Company.

I acknowledge and agree that my promise to keep confidential the Confidential Information is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company if I break my promise and that the Company may not have an adequate remedy at law if I break or threaten to break my promise. Accordingly, I agree that in such event, the Company will be entitled to immediate temporary injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages, subject to a hearing as soon thereafter as possible in a court of competent jurisdiction. I agree to promptly pay the Company liquidated damages in an amount equal to the value of the consideration described herein if I break my promise and divulge Confidential Information, and any unpaid consideration shall be forfeited. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for failing to keep my promise, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

Furthermore, I agree to abide by any ongoing duties I owe to the Company which inure to the benefit of the Company, whether legal or contractual in nature, which by their terms extend beyond the duration of my employment (such as ongoing duties to reasonably assist the Company in securing its intellectual property), to the extent they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

4



With respect to my obligations to maintain in confidence any and all confidential and/or trade secret information of the Company, I understand that the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), provides me with immunity from criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for my disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, provided that it is disclosed solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding and the document is filed under seal so that it is not disclosed to the public.

6.Representations and Warranties

I hereby represent and warrant that I have not breached my duties of confidentiality or loyalty to the Company, whether contractual or legal in nature (including the duty to not make any disparaging statements and the duty to comply with all securities laws and regulations), as of the date of execution of this Agreement.

In the event that it is discovered at any time that I have breached or threatened to breach any such obligation, either before or after the execution of this Agreement, I agree to promptly pay the Company liquidated damages in an amount equal to the value of the consideration described in Paragraph 2 and any unpaid consideration described in Paragraph 2 shall be forfeited. In addition, in the event that I disparage or threaten to disparage the Company (either before or after this Agreement is executed), or it is discovered that I disparaged the Company during my employment, I agree that such conduct shall be grounds for “for cause” termination of my employment pursuant to Paragraph 1.

Ford agrees that Ford Public Affairs and/or the Ford Media Center shall not publish any material that disparages me.

However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for failing to keep my promise, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove. Nor shall anything contained herein be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it under other Company agreements and plans applicable to me.

7.Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement

In consideration of the benefits described herein, I also agree that until my Separation Date, and for a period of two (2) years immediately following my Separation Date, I shall not, directly or indirectly, work for or associate with any business that competes in trade or commerce with Ford, its subsidiaries or its affiliates, whether individually or as an owner, partner, agent, employee, consultant, or otherwise; provided that, it will not be a breach of the foregoing covenant for me to provide services to or otherwise work or associate with any business in the technology sector the primary business of which does not consist of the design (including related software and artificial intelligence), manufacture and sale of automobiles or automobile parts, transportation, or self-driving vehicles. The Company agrees that neither my employment with ASAPP, Inc., nor my provision of services to
5



Wildlife Studios, or GoBrands, Inc., violate this paragraph. I further agree to refrain until my Separation Date, and for two (2) years following my Separation Date, from taking any action that will cause the termination or interference of existing business relationships between or among Ford, its subsidiaries or its affiliates, on the one hand, and any of their customers or suppliers with whom I had direct or indirect contact while working for Ford, on the other. I further agree that Ford and its subsidiaries and affiliates have invested substantial time and effort to identify, recruit, and train their personnel and that, until my Separation Date and for a period of two (2) years following my Separation Date (“Restricted Period”), I will not, either directly or indirectly, on my behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, in any capacity, recruit, solicit for hire, or hire or assist others in recruiting, soliciting for hire or hiring any person who is or during the Restricted Period becomes an employee, agency employee, contract employee or consultant of Ford or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided however that the foregoing will not prohibit me or any of my affiliates from hiring any person who responds to a general advertisement or solicitation not specifically directed at employees of Ford or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The recruitment of individuals who have retired from Ford or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall not violate this Paragraph; however, nothing herein shall excuse such individuals from any requirement to submit a predetermination request or avoid inimical conduct pursuant to any applicable retirement plan.

In the event that I breach the provisions of this Paragraph 7, I will be required and agree to promptly repay the full amount of consideration provided to me under Paragraph 2. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for failing to keep my promise, including an injunction and/or the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

8.Return of Company Materials Upon Termination

I acknowledge that all written and/or electronic materials or documents containing Confidential Information prepared by me or coming into my possession because of my employment with the Company is and shall remain the property of the Company. I agree to make reasonable efforts to identify and locate all such written materials or documents in my possession, custody or control and return to the Company all such items in my possession, together with all copies of such items, and any other Company property, equipment, or materials, upon the Separation Date. By my execution of this Agreement, I hereby certify that I have or will have complied with this paragraph by the
Separation Date.

9.Business Reputation

I acknowledge that the business reputation of the Company is a valuable asset. I agree that I shall take no action which can be deemed to be inimical to the best interests of the Company, including but not limited to: publishing material that disparages the Company, participating in interviews disparaging the Company or taking action in any other manner or way disparaging the Company. In the event that I engage in any of the foregoing, I agree to promptly pay liquidated damages to the Company in an amount equal to the value of the
6



consideration described in Paragraph 2 and any unpaid consideration described in Paragraph 2 shall be forfeited. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for failing to keep my promise, including the recovery of any damages which it is able to prove.

10.Legal Proceedings and Cooperation

I agree that I will, to the extent reasonably requested in writing, cooperate with and serve in any capacity reasonably requested by the Company in any pending or future investigation (including internal investigation), litigation or proceedings in which the Company is a party, and regarding which I, by virtue of my employment with the Company, have knowledge or information which the Company deems relevant to said litigation, investigation, or proceedings including, but not limited to, acting as the Company’s representative or on behalf of the Company in any said investigation, litigation, or proceedings. I further agree that I will, without the necessity for subpoena, provide in any jurisdiction in which the Company requests, truthful testimony relevant to said investigation, litigation, or proceedings. In connection with the foregoing, the Company will attempt to accommodate my schedule, provide me with reasonable advance notice of the time(s) at which my services are needed and reimburse me for reasonable expenses to the extent required under any operative duty to indemnify.

I further agree to notify the Company within a reasonable period of time should I learn of a subpoena or other court order requiring my participation in any legal proceeding relating to or stemming from my employment with the Company. “Reasonable period of time” means sufficiently in advance of the date on which I must respond to such subpoena or other court order so that the Company can intervene to challenge or quash such subpoena or other court order.

11.No Reapplication or Rehire

In consideration of the promises made by the Company in the Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, I recognize and promise that I will not seek or accept employment or direct independent contractor status with Ford Motor Company, or any Released Entities in any capacity; I will not work on any Ford Company related business through outside vendors; and I will not perform work on Ford Motor Company premises. The Company and I agree that this provision is not intended to prohibit me from accepting employment or independent contractor status with a vendor of Ford Motor Company, or having an ownership interest or leadership management role with such a vendor, so long as I do not personally work on, and am not involved in, any aspect of the vendor’s business that is related to Ford Motor Company. Neither Ford Motor Company, nor any of the Released Entities, have any obligation to hire me or to do business with any vendor that I am associated with as an owner or employee. I further agree that this paragraph of the Agreement is sufficient legal grounds for denying employment and/or termination of employment, and will constitute a legitimate, non-discriminatory, non-retaliatory reason for Ford Motor Company and/or any other Released Entity to terminate my employment, and Ford Motor Company and/or any other Released Entity will have the absolute right to terminate such employment.

12.Enforceability and Interpretation

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other terms shall be considered separate and independent from the other provisions of this Agreement. The invalidity of any one provision shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, excluding its choice of law provisions. It is expressly understood and agreed that although I consider the restrictions contained in Paragraph 7 to be reasonable, if a final determination is made that the time or scope or any other restriction contained in Paragraph 7 is an unenforceable restriction against me, the provisions of such restriction shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and scope and to such other extent as is determined or indicated to be reasonable and enforceable. Alternatively, if it is determined that any restriction contained in Paragraph 7 is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. Furthermore, both parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement are the only provisions governing employee’s termination of employment with the Company and waiver and release of any and all claims against the Company and that these provisions of this Agreement can only be modified by a written agreement.

13.Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

a)In the event that any dispute arises about the validity, interpretation, effect or alleged violations of this Agreement, or about any matter that may arise between me and the Company in the future (other than claims for benefits under any employee benefit plan), except as set forth in Paragraph 7, the parties agree to submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration in Michigan before an experienced employment arbitrator licensed to practice law in Michigan and selected in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules applicable to employment disputes. The arbitrator may not modify or change this Agreement in any way.

b)The arbitrator shall have the authority to resolve all arbitrable claims with finality, in accordance with the arbitration rules. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any disputes about whether a claim is arbitrable, except that only a civil court of competent jurisdiction may resolve a dispute regarding the scope or enforceability of Paragraph 13(c).The arbitrator will not have authority or jurisdiction to decide class certification or representative action issues.

c)Class Action Waiver. I shall not institute or participate in, and the arbitrator shall not have the authority to hear an arbitrable dispute on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, nor shall the arbitrator have the authority to grant class-wide relief, relief on a consolidated basis, or other relief extending beyond the individual claimant. I understand that both Ford and I are waiving our rights to bring (or join, participate, or intervene in) any claim, controversy, or dispute covered by this arbitration provision as a class, collective, or other representative action. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is
8



unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

If both (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) a court finds the class action waiver, or a portion thereof, unenforceable, then the parties agree that any claims as to which this class action waiver are enforceable shall be resolved by arbitration prior to litigation of the claims to which the class action waiver was deemed unenforceable. The parties agree that the claims to which the class action waiver was deemed unenforceable shall be stayed pending resolution of the claims subject to arbitration.

d)I agree to pay my attorney’s fees and the expenses for any witnesses that support my position. I understand that the Company will pay all expenses of the arbitration, including required travel and other expenses of the arbitrator, AAA representatives, and any witness produced at the direction of the arbitrator, as well as the costs relating to any proof produced by the Company at the direction of the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator directs otherwise in the award as provided for in the Administrative Fee Schedule. Arbitration in this manner shall be the exclusive remedy for any arbitrable dispute. The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be fully enforceable and subject to an entry of judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

e)Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate as set forth in this Paragraph, the parties shall have the right, before, during or after any arbitration proceeding, to obtain equitable remedies available in a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable statutes and court rules. Any such claim or judicial proceeding shall be filed in a state or federal court located in Wayne County, Michigan. I expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wayne County, Michigan for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or related to this Paragraph 13. Any such proceeding or claim shall be governed by Michigan law, without regard to Michigan choice-of-law principles. The institution of any suit permitted by this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of the agreement to arbitrate as set forth in this paragraph.
f)The agreement to arbitrate as set forth in this Paragraph does not apply to any claims regarding the provision of benefits under any employee benefit plan (the “Plan”). In order to make a claim for benefits under any Plan, I understand that I must first exhaust my administrative remedies under the procedures set forth in the Plan and as established by the Plan Administrator. Once I have exhausted my administrative remedies, if I wish to challenge any administrative denial further, I may only bring an action in connection with the Plan in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan to the extent permitted under the Plan. The institution of any suit permitted by this paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of the agreement to arbitrate as set forth in this Paragraph.

9



g)This Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (“FAA”). Ford and I expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the FAA, even in the event I am otherwise exempted from the FAA, and expressly agree that any disputes in this regard be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator.

14.Informed Consent I acknowledge that:

I have carefully read this Agreement and have had a reasonable period of time in which to consider the Agreement;

I fully understand what the Agreement means, and I am entering into it voluntarily, of my own free will, without coercion or duress, and with the full understanding of the significance and binding effect of this Agreement;

I have been advised in writing to consult with an attorney of my own choice (and not related to the Company) prior to signing this Agreement and the Company strongly recommends I do so;

I am receiving valuable consideration in exchange for my execution of this Agreement in the form of the consideration described herein that exceed the consideration I would be entitled to if I quit or was terminated and did not execute this Agreement;

If, after being offered this Agreement but before this Agreement becomes effective, I separately quit or am terminated from my employment with Ford, the Company may in its sole discretion revoke this Agreement, rendering this Agreement null and void;

I have not relied on any statements, promises or agreements of any kind made to me in connection with my decision to sign this Agreement except for those terms set forth in this Agreement; and

I understand that, in deciding to enter into this Agreement, the Company has relied upon representations made by me herein, including without limitation those in paragraphs 6 and 9, each of which are hereby made material. I further understand that, should the Company discover that any such representation is false or inaccurate before the Effective Date, the Company may in its sole discretion revoke this Agreement, rendering this Agreement null and void.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES A GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.

By signing below, I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
SECOND RELEASE OF CLAIMS
I, Tim Stone, hereby agree as follows:
(A)    In consideration of the benefits described in Paragraph 2 of the Executive Waiver and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”), I unconditionally and irrevocably waive, abandon and release any and all rights or claims of any kind (including all claims that relate to my employment or termination of employment) that I may have, or my heirs, executors, agents or assigns may have, against Ford Motor Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries, respective officers, directors, board members, agents or employees, and the employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company, and their fiduciaries (the “Released Entities”).
Furthermore, I represent that (a) I have not sustained any injuries during the time of my employment which are compensable as part of a workers’ compensation claim; and (b) as of the date of my execution of this Agreement, I am not aware of any non-compliance by the Released Entities with, or their potential violation of, any federal or state statute, regulation, other administrative guidance, or common law doctrine, including but not limited to non-compliance or potential violation of any statute, regulation, guidance, or common law doctrine regarding discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, national origin, religion, or other protected status. I understand that the Company has relied on these material representations in determining the amount of the benefits described in the Agreement and in deciding to enter into the Agreement. Except as provided in Section B below, I agree not to start any proceedings of any kind against the Released Entities relating in any way to my employment or the termination of my employment and I agree to terminate any proceedings I may have begun or withdraw from any I may be participating in relating to my employment. This waiver and release includes, but is not limited to, any and all rights or claims, whether known or unknown, I may have under all laws (including statutes, regulations, other administrative guidance, and common law doctrines), such as the following:
Anti-discrimination statutes, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), which prohibits age discrimination in employment; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 1981 and 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and Executive Order 11,246, which prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of handicap; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment on account of disability; the Equal Pay Act, which prohibits paying men and women unequal pay for equal work; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations prohibiting employment discrimination.

Federal employment statutes, such as the WARN Act, which requires that advance notice be given of certain work force reductions; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which among other things, protects employee benefits; the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which regulates wage and hour
14



matters; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which requires employers to provide leaves of absence under certain circumstances; and any other federal laws relating to employment, such as veterans’ reemployment rights laws.

Any other laws, such as any federal, state or local laws or regulations, or any common law doctrines related in any way to employment, employment discrimination, or workers compensation benefits, any federal, state or local law enforcing employment contracts, either express or implied or requiring an employer to deal with employees fairly and in good faith, and any other federal, state, or local laws providing recourse for alleged defamation, slander, libel, fraud, wrongful discharge, constructive discharge or tort-based claims, including but not limited to, intentional infliction of emotional distress.

(B)    I do not waive or release any rights or claims I may have that arise solely from actions taken, or events or occurrences taking place, after this Second Release of Claims (“Release”) is signed or any rights or claims that are not permitted by law to be waived or released, such as workers’ compensation claims. I also do not waive and release (i) any claims I may have against the Company for reimbursement of authorized expenses if the expense was incurred prior to my separation date, (ii) with respect to any amounts or benefits to which I may be entitled under and in accordance with Paragraph 2 of the Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) any rights that I may have to indemnification under the terms of any applicable indemnification agreement with the Company, the organizational documents of the Company, the terms of any insurance policy, the terms of any Company indemnification policy, the terms of applicable law or otherwise, and (iv) vested rights, if any, under and in accordance with the terms of any applicable employee benefit plan in which I participate and amendments thereto. Rights or claims that the Company or the Released Entities may have against me also survive. Nothing in this Release or the Agreement shall be construed to affect the independent right and responsibility of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or a state or local fair employment practices agency acting as an EEOC referral agency. I also understand that nothing in this Release or the Agreement or any other agreement or document prohibits me from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company or Released Entities, with any federal government agency about a potential violation of a federal law or regulation. However, to the extent an action or proceeding may be brought by any federal government agency with respect to any alleged acts or omissions prior to my execution of this Release, I expressly acknowledge and agree that I have relinquished any entitlement to, and will not accept, any form of monetary damages or any other form of relief in connection with any such action or proceeding.
(C)    I specifically acknowledge and agree that this Release incorporates all terms and conditions provided under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, Paragraph 13 (Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver) of the Agreement. I specifically acknowledge and agree that all representations and warranties I made under the Agreement remain accurate and are in full force.

If I do not execute the Release or if I revoke the Release, I shall forfeit any consideration described in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement, and shall be obligated to repay any paid consideration described in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement,. I understand that my employment at Ford will end upon my Separation Date and the Agreement will remain in effect, whether or not I choose to sign and not revoke this Release.
(E)    I acknowledge that:
I have carefully read this Release and have had a reasonable period of time in which to consider the Release;
I fully understand what the Release means, and I am entering into it voluntarily, of my own free will, without coercion or duress, and with the full understanding of the significance and binding effect of this Release;

Exhibit 10.4
Terms and Conditions of Stock Option Agreement
Ford Motor Company Long-Term Incentive Plan
Effective for Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Ford Motor Company Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Please refer to Appendix A for Additional Country-Specific Information
1.    The Option may not be exercised prior to the date one year from the date of the Stock Option Agreement of which these terms and conditions are a part (the Agreement). Thereafter, the Option may be exercised in installments as follows:
(a) Beginning on the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Option may be exercised to the extent of 33% of the shares originally covered thereby;
(b) Beginning on the date two years from the date of the Agreement, the Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional 33% of the shares originally covered thereby;
(c) Beginning on the date three years from the date of the Agreement, the Option may be exercised to the extent of an additional 34% of the shares originally covered thereby; and
(d) To the extent not exercised, installments shall be cumulative and may be exercised in whole or in part;
all subject to the Agreement and these terms and conditions and any rules and regulations established by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your stock option grant included an incentive stock option (ISO), the ISO portion of the grant would be maximized within permissible regulatory limits. This could result in a different number of options vesting on the first three anniversary dates of the grant under the nonqualified option (NQO) and/or the ISO portion of the grant than the number indicated by the schedule above. In any event, the total number of NQOs and ISOs in the grant, will, as a whole, vest according to the schedule above. Your grant information (available online via Morgan Stanley’s Benefit Access website - www.benefitaccess.com or through a Morgan Stanley phone representative) will reflect the specific number of ISOs and NQOs vesting on the specific dates.

2.    The Stock Appreciation Right, if any, granted by the Company to the Optionee under the Agreement shall entitle the Optionee to receive, without payment to the Company and as the Optionee may elect, either (a) that number of shares of Stock determined by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Option (or the portion or portions thereof which the Optionee from time to time elects to use for purposes of this clause (a)), multiplied by the amount by which the fair market value of a share of Stock on the day
1



this right is exercised exceeds the option price set forth in the Agreement (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the Spread), by (ii) the fair market value of a share of Stock on the exercise date; or (b) cash in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Option (or the portion or portions thereof which the Optionee from time to time elects to use for purposes of this clause (b)), by (ii) the amount of the Spread; or (c) a combination of shares of Stock and cash, in amounts determined as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above; all subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and any rules and regulations established by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

The right of the Optionee to exercise any Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled if and to the extent that the Option is exercised. The right of the Optionee to exercise the Option shall be cancelled if and to the extent that shares covered by the Option are used to calculate shares or cash received upon exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right.

Fair market value shall mean the closing price at which Stock shall have been reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the date as of which such computation is to be made or, if no such closing price shall have been reported on such day, on the next preceding day on which such closing price of Stock shall have been reported on such Exchange.

If any fractional share of Stock would otherwise be deliverable to the Optionee upon exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right, the Optionee shall be paid a cash amount equal to the same fraction of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of exercise.

Any Stock Appreciation Right shall become and remain exercisable by the Optionee only to the extent that the Option becomes and remains exercisable.

3.    Except as provided in the immediately following two paragraphs, if, prior to the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Company, with or without cause, or by the act, death, incapacity or retirement of the Optionee, the Optionee's right to exercise the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate on the date of such termination of employment and all rights hereunder and under the Agreement shall cease.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the next preceding paragraph, if the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated by reason of retirement, release because of disability or death, and the Optionee had remained in the employ of the Company for at least six months following the date of the Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, all the Optionee's rights hereunder and under the Agreement shall continue in effect or continue to accrue until the date ten years after the date of the Agreement, subject, in the event of the Optionee's death during such ten-year period, to the provisions of the sixth paragraph of this Article and subject to any other limitation contained herein or in the Agreement on the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right in effect at the date of exercise.
2




Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Agreement, if the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated at any time by reason of a sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, a transfer to a Joint Venture (as hereinafter defined)) of the division, operation or subsidiary in which the Optionee was employed or to which the Optionee was assigned, all the Optionee's rights under the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right granted to him or her shall become immediately exercisable and continue in effect until the date five years after the date of such termination (but not later than the date ten years from the date of grant of the Option), provided the Optionee shall satisfy both of the following conditions:
(a) the Optionee, at the date of such termination, had remained in the employ of the Company for at least three months following the grant of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right, and (b) the Optionee continues to be or becomes employed in such division, operation or subsidiary following such sale or other disposition and remains in such employ until the date of exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right (unless the Committee, or any committee appointed by it for the purpose, shall waive this condition (b)).

Upon termination of the Optionee's employment with such (former) division, operation or subsidiary following such sale or other disposition, any then existing right of the Optionee to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) if the Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of disability, death or retirement with the approval of his or her employer, the Optionee's rights shall continue as provided in the preceding sentence with the same effect as if his or her employment had not terminated; (ii) if the Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of discharge or voluntary quit, the Optionee's rights shall terminate on the date of such termination of employment and all rights under the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall cease; and (iii) if the Optionee's employment is terminated for any reason other than a reason set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the Optionee shall have the right, within three months after such termination, to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right to the extent that it or any installment thereof shall have accrued at the date of such termination and shall not have been exercised, subject in the case of any such termination to the provisions of Article 4 hereof and any other limitation on the exercise of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right in effect at the date of exercise. For purposes of this paragraph, the term Joint Venture shall mean any joint venture corporation or partnership, or comparable entity, in which the Company has a substantial equity interest.

If, on or after the date one year from the date of the Agreement, the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated for any reason except retirement, release because of disability, death, release because of a sale or other disposition of the division, operation or subsidiary in which the Optionee was employed or to which the Optionee was assigned, discharge, release in the best interest of the Company or voluntary quit, the Optionee shall have the right, within three months after such termination, to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right to the extent that it or
3



any installment thereof shall have accrued at the date of such termination of employment and shall not have been exercised, subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof and any other limitation contained herein or in the Agreement on the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right in effect at the date of exercise.

If the Optionee's employment with the Company shall be terminated at any time by reason of discharge, release in the best interest of the Company or voluntary quit, the Optionee's right to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate on the date of such termination of employment and all rights hereunder and under the Agreement shall cease.

If the Optionee shall die within the applicable period specified in the second, third, or fourth paragraph of this Article, the beneficiary designated pursuant to Article 7 hereof or, if no such designation is in effect, the executor or administrator of the estate of the decedent or the person or persons to whom the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall have been validly transferred by the executor or the administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, within the same period of time as the period during which the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right if the Optionee had not died, to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right (except that, if the fourth paragraph of this Article shall apply to the Optionee, the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only to the extent that it or any installment thereof shall have accrued at the date of death and shall not have been exercised, and except that the period of time within which the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable following the date of the Optionee's death shall not be less than one year (unless the Option by its terms expires earlier)), subject to the provision that neither the Option nor any Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised under any circumstances beyond ten years from the date of the Agreement and to any other limitation on the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right in effect at the date of exercise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement or in these terms and conditions, neither the Option nor any Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercised on or after the date ten years from the date of the Agreement.

4.    Anything contained herein or in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the right of the Optionee to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right following termination of the Optionee's employment with the Company shall remain effective only if, during the entire period from the date of the Optionee's termination to the date of such exercise, the Optionee shall have earned out such right by (i) making himself or herself available, upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to consult with, supply information to and otherwise cooperate with the Company or any subsidiary thereof with respect to any matter that shall have been handled by him or her or under his or her supervision while he or she was in the employ of the Company or of any subsidiary thereof, and (ii) refraining from engaging in any activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any activity of the Company or any subsidiary thereof.
4




In the event of the Optionee's nonfulfillment of the condition set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Optionee's right to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall cease; provided, however, that the nonfulfillment of such condition may at any time (whether before, at the time of or subsequent to termination of his or her employment) be waived in the following manner:
(1) if the Optionee at any time shall have been subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) or the liability provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (any such Optionee being hereinafter called a Section 16 Person), such waiver may be granted by the Committee upon its determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have been and will not be any substantial adverse effect upon the Company or any subsidiary thereof by reason of the nonfulfillment of such condition; and
(2) if the Optionee shall not at any time have been a Section 16 Person, such waiver may be granted by the Committee (or any committee appointed by it for the purpose) upon its determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have been and will not be any such substantial adverse effect.
Anything contained herein or in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the right of the Optionee to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right following termination of the Optionee's employment with the Company shall cease on and as of the date on which it has been determined by the Committee that the Optionee at any time (whether before or subsequent to termination of the Optionee's employment) acted in a manner inimical to the best interests of the Company. Conduct which constitutes engaging in an activity that is directly or indirectly in competition with any activity of the Company or any subsidiary thereof shall be governed by the four immediately preceding paragraphs of this Article and shall not be subject to any determination under this paragraph.

5.    Payment for any shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of the Option shall be made in full at the time of exercise. Such payment may be made in cash, by wire, by delivery of shares of Stock beneficially owned by the Optionee or by a combination of cash and Stock, at the election of the Optionee; provided, however, that any shares of Stock so delivered shall have been beneficially owned by the Optionee for a period of not less than six months (or 12 months if the stock being surrendered was acquired through the exercise of an ISO) prior to the date of such exercise. Any shares of Stock so delivered shall be valued at their fair market value (determined as provided in Article 2 hereof) on the date of such exercise.

The Optionee, from time to time during the period when the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right may by their terms be exercised (a) may exercise the Option in whole or in part by delivering to the Company or its designee (i) a written notice signed by the Optionee stating the number of shares that the Optionee has elected to purchase at that
5



time from the Company, and (ii) a check in an amount, or (in accordance with the preceding paragraph) shares of Stock having a value, equal to the purchase price of the shares then to be purchased, or a combination of shares of Stock and cash, or (b) may exercise any Stock Appreciation Right in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a written notice signed by the Optionee stating (i) the number of shares covered by the Option he or she has elected to use to compute the number of shares, and/or (ii) the number of shares covered by the Option he or she has elected to use to compute the amount of cash, to be received from the Company pursuant to exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee, if it shall deem it necessary or desirable for any reason connected with any law or regulation of any governmental authority relating to the regulation of securities, may require the Optionee to execute and file with it such evidence as it may deem necessary that the Optionee is acquiring any shares of Stock for investment and not with a view to their distribution and, by way of the adoption of rules and regulations or otherwise, impose conditions as to the time and manner of exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right by any person or class of persons.

As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company or its designee of such notice, check and/or shares of Stock (if the Option is exercised in whole or in part) and such evidence of intent to acquire for investment as may be required by the Committee, the Company shall issue the appropriate number of shares in the name of the Optionee and deliver the certificate therefor to the Optionee and/or deliver a check payable to the order of the Optionee for the appropriate amount of cash. The number of shares shall be adjusted appropriately, or other appropriate arrangements shall be made, for any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local law.

6.    As a condition of the granting of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right, the Optionee and the Optionee's successors and assigns agree that any dispute or disagreement which shall arise under or as a result of the Agreement or these terms and conditions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and judgment and that any such determination and any interpretation by the Committee of the Agreement or of these terms and conditions shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes.

7.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise, neither the Option nor any Stock Appreciation Right is transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Optionee's lifetime, each is exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. Once transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, neither the Option nor any Stock Appreciation Right shall be further transferable. Any transferee of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall take the same subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. No such transfer of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions set forth herein. No assignment or
6



transfer of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right, or of the rights represented thereby, other than as provided in this Article, shall vest in the purported assignee or transferee any interest or right therein whatsoever.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Optionee may file with the Company or its designee a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries (subject to such limitations as to the classes and number of beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries and such other limitations as the Committee from time to time may prescribe) to exercise, in the event of the Optionee's death, the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and to receipt by the Company of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the acceptance by the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Optionee may from time to time revoke or change any such designation of beneficiary and any designation of beneficiary by the Optionee shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Committee shall be in doubt as to the entitlement of any such beneficiary to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may determine to recognize only an exercise by the legal representative of the Optionee, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone. If the Optionee has not designated a beneficiary or beneficiaries, the executor or administrator of the estate of the decedent or the person or persons to whom the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall have been validly transferred by the executor or administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the rights of a beneficiary with respect to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

8.    The Optionee, a beneficiary designated pursuant to Article 7 hereof or a transferee of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any share covered by the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right until such person shall have become the holder of record of such share, and, except as provided in Article 10 hereof, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash or securities or other property) or distributions or other rights in respect of such share for which the record date is prior to the date upon which such person shall become the holder of record thereof.

9.    The existence of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings whether of a similar character or otherwise.

10.    The shares covered by the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right are shares of Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the delivery by the Company of all
7



of the shares of Stock and/or cash deliverable upon exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right, the Company shall effect the payment of a stock dividend on Stock payable in shares of Stock, a subdivision or combination of the shares of Stock, or a reclassification of Stock, the number and price of shares remaining under the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall be appropriately adjusted. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustment shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise become subject to the Option.

11.    Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, (a) the issue by the Company of shares of Stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of Stock of any class, for cash or property or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, or (b) the payment of a stock dividend on any other class of the Company's stock, or (c) any subdivision or combination of the shares of any other class of the Company's stock, or (d) any reclassification of any other class of the Company's stock, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Stock subject to the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right.

12.    After any merger of one or more corporations into the Company, or after any consolidation of the Company and one or more corporations in which the Company shall be the surviving corporation, the Optionee shall, at no additional cost, be entitled upon any exercise of the Option or any exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right for Stock, to receive (subject to any required action by stockholders), in lieu of the number of shares as to which the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall then be so exercised, the number and class of shares of stock or other securities to which the Optionee would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger or consolidation if at the time of such merger or consolidation the Optionee had been a holder of record of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares as to which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall then be so exercised. Comparable rights shall accrue to the Optionee in the event of successive mergers or consolidations of the character described above or in the event of any exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right for cash following any such merger or consolidation. Anything contained herein or in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon any merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate; but if a period of one year from the date of the Agreement shall have expired, the Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right in whole or in part to the extent it shall not have been exercised, without regard to the installment provisions of Article 1 hereof but subject to any other limitation contained herein or in the Agreement on the exercise of the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right in effect on the date of exercise. In the event of any other event affecting Stock, an appropriate
8



adjustment shall be made in the number and price of shares remaining under, and other terms and provisions of, the Option and any Stock Appreciation Right. The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise become subject to the Option.

13.    Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, in order for the Company to perform its requirements under the Plan, the Company may process, for an indefinite period of time, personal data about Optionee. Such data includes, but is not limited to, the information provided in the Option grant materials and any changes thereto, and other appropriate personal data about Optionee, including information about Optionee's participation in the Plan and options exercised under the Plan from time to time. Optionee also hereby gives for an indefinite period of time Optionee's explicit consent to the Company to collect, use, store and transfer any such personal data for use in the United States of America or any other required location. The legal persons for whom the personal data is intended include Ford and any of its subsidiaries, the outside plan administrator as selected by the Company from time to time and any other person that the Company may deem appropriate in its administration of the Plan. Optionee has been informed of Optionee's right to access and correct Optionee's personal data by contacting Optionee's local Human Resources Representative. Optionee has been informed of Optionee's right to withdraw at any time Optionee's consent to the processing of personal data. Optionee has been informed that the provision of personal data is voluntary. Optionee understands that the transfer of the information outlined here is important to the administration of the Plan. Optionee's consent is given freely and is valid as long as it is needed for administration of the Plan or to comply with applicable legal requirements. Optionee's failure to consent to the Company's collection, use, storage and transfer of such personal data may limit Optionee's right to participate in the Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Company" shall be deemed to include Ford Motor Company, Optionee's employer, and any other affiliate of Ford Motor Company involved in the administration of the Plan.

14.    Optionee acknowledges that the Company is entitled to terminate the Plan unilaterally, and Optionee hereby waives any right to receive Plan benefits in the event that the Plan is terminated or Optionee's right to exercise the Option otherwise terminates under the terms of the Agreement. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company's grant of the option to Optionee is not an element of the Optionee's compensation and that the option is awarded in the Company's discretion. Optionee further acknowledges that receipt of the Option does not entitle Optionee to any further grants of an Option in the future, and that the Company does not guarantee that benefits under the Plan will have a particular value or be granted to Optionee in the future.

15.    Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of the Agreement or these terms and conditions, the Optionee agrees not to exercise the Option or any Stock Appreciation
9



Right, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares or deliver any cash pursuant to the Agreement, if the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right or the issuance of such shares or delivery of such cash would constitute a violation by the Optionee or by the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination of the Committee in this connection shall be final and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes. The Company shall in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Option or any Stock Appreciation Right or the issuance of shares or delivery of cash pursuant thereto to comply with any law or any regulation of any governmental authority.

16.    Every notice relating to the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by registered mail with return receipt requested. All notices to the Company shall be addressed to:

Either party by notice to the other may designate a different address to which notices shall be addressed. Any notice given by the Company to the Optionee at his or her last designated address shall be effective to bind any other person who shall acquire rights under the Agreement.

18.    The Agreement has been made in and it and these terms and conditions shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan.
