Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant .

Ford Motor Company (the “Company”) submitted an application for term loans totaling $11.4 billion to the U.S. Department of Energy (the “DOE”) dated November 18, 2008 pursuant to the DOE’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program (the “ATVM Program”). The Company’s application, which was deemed substantially complete on December 16, 2008, relates to ATVM Program expenditures approved by the DOE to be made by the Company extending beyond 2011. By mutual agreement of the Company and the DOE, the Company’s application was amended and restated on June 12, 2009 (as so amended and restated, the “Application”) to request, initially, term loans totaling $5.937 billion to fund up to 80% of the ATVM Program expenditures approved through mid-2012. Loans to fund up to 80% of the approved ATVM Program expenditures beyond that point will require further Congressional appropriation and are subject to further approvals by the DOE. The ATVM Program was authorized by section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, as amended from time to time (“Section 136”), to provide up to $25 billion of loans to automobile and automobile part manufacturers for the cost of re-equipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States to produce advanced technology vehicles or qualified components, and for associated engineering integration costs. Loans under the ATVM will be made by and through the Federal Financing Bank, an instrumentality of the United States government created by the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1973 that is under the general supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury (“FFB”).

On September 16, 2009, the Company and DOE entered into a Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement dated as of September 16, 2009 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which DOE agreed to (i) arrange a 13-year multi-draw term loan facility (the “Facility”) under the ATVM Program in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5.937 billion, (ii) designate the Company as a borrower under the ATVM Program and (iii) cause FFB to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase of notes to be issued by the Company evidencing such loans. The Arrangement Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein, and the Note Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The proceeds of advances under the Facility will be used to finance certain costs eligible for financing under the ATVM Program (“Eligible Project Costs”) that are incurred through mid-2012 in the implementation of thirteen advanced technology vehicle programs approved by DOE (each, a “Project”). With the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and related loan documents, the Company became able to request loans under the Facility. The Arrangement Agreement limits the amount of advances that may be used to fund Eligible Project Costs for each Project, and the Company’s ability to borrow to finance Eligible Project Costs with respect to a Project is conditioned on the Company meeting agreed timing milestones and fuel economy targets for that Project.

Maturity, Interest Rate and Amortization. Advances may be requested from September 16, 2009 through June 30, 2012, and the loans will mature on June 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company has submitted draw requests totaling approximately $886 million to date and expects that such draw requests will be funded by September 30, 2009. Each advance will bear interest at a blended rate based on the Treasury yield curve at the time such advance is borrowed and the principal amortization schedule for that advance. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears. (Based on the Treasury yield curve as of September 16, 2009, the interest rate would be 3.22% per annum.) The principal amount of the loans will be payable in equal quarterly installments commencing on September 15, 2012 through the Maturity Date.

-3-

Collateral. The Company’s obligations under the Facility will be secured by a first priority security interest in any assets purchased or developed with the proceeds of the loans and a junior security interest in all of the collateral pledged under the Company’s existing Credit Agreement dated as of December 15, 2006 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) subordinated solely to (a) perfected security interests securing certain indebtedness, as defined in the Arrangement Agreement, and letters of credit not to exceed $19,100,000,000 and short-term cash management and hedging obligations in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000,000 and (b) certain other permitted liens described in the Arrangement Agreement.

Guarantees. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that, together with the Company, hold a substantial portion of the Company’s consolidated domestic automotive assets (excluding cash) and that guarantee the Existing Credit Agreement will guarantee the Company's obligations under the Facility, and future material domestic subsidiaries will become guarantors when formed or acquired.

Affirmative Covenants . The Arrangement Agreement contains affirmative covenants substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement (including similar baskets and exceptions), including delivery of the Company’s financial statements and those of certain of its subsidiaries, delivery of compliance certificates and notices of default, maintenance of the Company’s automotive business and corporate existence, delivery of certain future guarantees and collateral, as well as certain other affirmative covenants required in connection with the ATVM Program, including compliance with ATVM Program requirements, introduction of advanced technology vehicles to meet or exceed projected overall annual fuel economy improvements and delivery of progress reports and audit reports with respect to the Projects.

Negative Covenants . The Arrangement Agreement contains negative covenants substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement, including restrictive covenants that limit, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to pay dividends, make certain repurchases of equity or repay certain of its material indebtedness prior to maturity, its ability and the ability of the guarantors to incur secured indebtedness, the Company’s ability to merge or consolidate with another person or to grant liens on the collateral securing the loans, and the ability of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries whose equity has been pledged under the Existing Credit Agreement to incur indebtedness. The Arrangement Agreement also contains negative pledge and sale-leaseback covenants substantially similar to covenants in the Existing Credit Agreement and the Company’s existing senior unsecured debt. The Arrangement Agreement also contains a negative covenant substantially similar to the liquidity covenant in the Existing Credit Agreement requiring that the Company not permit Available Liquidity (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) to be less than $4,000,000,000.

Events of Default . The Arrangement Agreement contains the following events of default that are substantially similar to those in the Existing Credit Agreement or otherwise required in connection with the ATVM Program:

•

failure to make payments when due;

•

any representation or warranty is materially incorrect;

•

breach of covenants under any Transaction Documents (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement), subject to grace periods consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement;

•

cross-payment default with respect to debt for borrowed money of the Company or any significant guarantor in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000,000 or more;

-4-

•

cross-acceleration to indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any significant guarantor with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000,000 or more;

•

bankruptcy of the Company, any significant guarantor, Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, Ford Canada, Volvo or certain other Volvo-related subsidiaries;

•

U.S. judgments against the Company or any significant guarantor not vacated, discharged, satisfied, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days, that involve a liability of either (a) $100,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more, in the case of any single judgment or decree or (b) $200,000,000 (or the foreign currency equivalent thereof) or more in the aggregate;

•

change in control;

•

invalidity of any material guarantee or any security interest subject to a materiality threshold;

•

occurrence of certain ERISA events; and

•

failure to fund certain costs related to the Projects required to be paid by the Company as described in the Arrangement Agreement.

The Arrangement Agreement includes usual and customary notice periods and remedies with respect to the occurrence of an event of default.

Item 8.01. Other Events .

On September 17, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had finalized the loan documents related to the Facility and that it expects to receive approximately $900 million in loan proceeds by September 30, 2009. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated by reference herein.

(d) Maximum Note Amount Amendments . If at any time ( x ) the aggregate amount of Advances that the Borrower or DOE anticipates will be requested under Note A or Note B, as the case may be, during the next three months would cause the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding under any such Note to exceed the Maximum Principal Amount of such Note and ( y ) the aggregate amount of Advances that the Borrower or DOE anticipates will be requested during such period under both Note A and Note B would not cause the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding under both Notes to exceed the Maximum Total Loan Amount, either the Borrower or DOE may request that the other, and upon such request both DOE and the Borrower shall, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, and DOE shall use reasonable efforts to cause FFB to execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, within a reasonable period of such request, such amendments or supplements hereto, to the relevant Notes or to any other Loan Documents, and such further instruments, and take such further actions, as may be necessary to effectuate a reallocation of the Maximum Total Loan Amount between the Maximum Total Loan A Amount and the Maximum Total Loan B Amount to accommodate the amount of Advances that the Borrower or DOE, as the case may be, anticipates will be requested under each Note during the remaining Availability Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree ( i ) to use reasonable efforts to anticipate the need to enter into the amendments specified in this Section 2.3(d) to allow as much advance notice of the need for such amendments as is practicable and to limit the number of such amendments as much as practicable and ( ii ) that DOE shall be under no obligation to deliver an Advance Request Approval Notice with respect to any Advance Request that would cause the aggregate Advances under Note A to exceed the Maximum Total Loan A Amount, the aggregate Advances under Note B to exceed the Maximum Total Loan B Amount or the aggregate Advances under both Notes to exceed the Maximum Total Loan Amount until the necessary amendments or supplements hereto, to the relevant Notes or to any other Loan Documents have been executed and such further instruments, or further actions, have occurred to effectuate reallocation of the Maximum Total Loan Amount between the Maximum Total Loan A Amount and the Maximum Total Loan B Amount that would permit the Advances requested in such Advance Request to be made without any such amount being exceeded.

2.4 Mechanics for Funding Advances .

(a) Advance Funding .

(i) Satisfaction of Conditions . Promptly after receipt of an Advance Request complying with Sections 2.3(a) ( Mechanics for Requesting Advances ) and 2.3(b), DOE shall review such Advance Request and the attachments thereto to determine whether all certificates and documentation required under Section 2.3 have been delivered to it.

For any requested Advance for which an Advance Request Approval Notice has been issued pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) and for which no Drawstop Notice has been issued pursuant to Section 2.4(b), FFB shall fund such Advance on the Requested Advance Date in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and the relevant Note. Such funds shall be applied as specified in the Funding Agreements, provided that if any Drawstop Notice has been issued and is in effect on the Requested Advance Date with respect to any funds received by the Borrower, such funds shall be returned by the Borrower to FFB pursuant to Section 2.4(b).

(b) Drawstop Notices .

(i) Issuance . Following the issuance of any Advance Request Approval Notice by DOE pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and on or prior to the Requested Advance Date, DOE or FFB may, from time to time, issue a notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “ Drawstop Notice ”) to the Borrower and to DOE or FFB, as the case may be, if and only if DOE or FFB, as the case may be, determines that:

(A) the conditions in Section 5.3 with respect to such Advance or Advances are not met, or having been met, are no longer met; or

(B) to the extent the Advance Request Approval Notice has been issued for any Advance under the relevant Note and the Note Purchase Agreement, the conditions precedent to such Advance contained in such Note and the Note Purchase Agreement are not met, or having been met, are no longer met.

(ii) Consequences . If a Drawstop Notice is issued, FFB shall not be obligated to make the requested Advance or Advances set forth on such Drawstop Notice, provided that, if FFB makes any such Advance or Advances to the Borrower following the issuance of a Drawstop Notice, the Borrower shall return such Advance or Advances to FFB immediately upon receipt thereof, and provided further that, any amount required to be returned by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall accrue interest at the Late Charge Rate from the date such Advance or Advances are made until such Advance or Advances are returned. Following the return of such Advance or Advances, FFB shall deliver an invoice to the Borrower setting forth the interest due and payable with respect to such returned amount. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days following delivery of such invoice, to pay such interest amounts as directed by FFB.

(i) Neither DOE nor FFB shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or to any other Lender Party arising from the issuance of a Drawstop Notice or the failure to issue any Advance Request Approval Notice or any other certificate or notice contemplated by this Section 2.4 unless ( x ) such Drawstop Notice has not been withdrawn within five Business Days after receipt by DOE or FFB, as the case may be, from the Borrower of notice that the Borrower believes that DOE or FFB, as the case may be, was not entitled to deliver the Drawstop Notice or ( y ) such failure to issue any such Advance Request Approval Notice or any other certificate shall continue for five Business Days after the date otherwise specified for delivery hereunder.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.4(c)(i), neither DOE nor FFB shall have any liability for any action taken (including the delivery of a Drawstop Notice) or omitted to be taken (including the failure to fund any Advance or Advances following the issuance of a Drawstop Notice) or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of any of its other duties hereunder if DOE or FFB, as the case may be, acted reasonably in exercising or interpreting its statutory authority and applicable regulations in taking any such action, omitting to take any action or performing its duties hereunder. In no event shall DOE, FFB or any subsequent holder of any Note be liable ( A ) for acting in accordance with or relying upon any entitlement order, instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from the Obligors or any entity acting on behalf of the Obligors, ( B ) for any indirect, consequential, punitive or special damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated, or ( C ) in the case of FFB or any subsequent holder of any Note, for acting in accordance with or relying upon any Drawstop Notice issued by DOE.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither DOE nor FFB shall incur any liability to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or to any other Lender Party for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any of the following circumstances beyond the control of DOE, FFB or their respective agents: any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (other than FFB or DOE, unless DOE or FFB, as the case may be, is required pursuant to applicable law to issue regulations prohibiting it from performing such duty or fulfilling such duty, obligation or responsibility), any act of God, fire, flood, severe weather, epidemic, quarantine restriction, explosion, sabotage, act of war, act of terrorism, riot, civil commotion, lapse of the statutory authority of the United States Department of the Treasury to raise cash through the issuance of Treasury debt instruments, disruption or failure of the Treasury Financial Communications System, closure of the Federal Government, or unforeseen or unscheduled closure or evacuation of DOE’s or FFB’s office (each such circumstance, a “ Force Majeure Event ”); it being understood that DOE or FFB, as the case may be, shall resume performance hereunder as soon as such Force Majeure Event ceases to prevent such Lender Party from performing hereunder.

2.5 Advance Requirements under the Funding Agreements .

Unless otherwise specified in the Funding Agreements, all determinations to be made with respect to the Funding Agreements shall be made by DOE.

2.7 Reallocation of Advances . Not more than once every six months, DOE shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to deliver a written notice (the “ Loan Reclassification Notice ”) to the Borrower requesting the reclassification of all, or any portion, of ( x ) the outstanding Advances made under Note B secured by the ATVM Collateral into Advances made under Note A secured by the Existing Collateral or ( y ) the outstanding Advances made under Note A secured by the Existing Collateral into Advances made under Note B secured by the ATVM Collateral to ensure that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances under Note B on the date of such reclassification are approximately 40% of the estimated Net Book Value of the ATVM Collateral (including, for the avoidance of doubt, assets whose acquisition or Development by the Borrower has been or is to be financed with such Advance or any other Advances previously made hereunder but that are not yet included in the Asset Register) after giving effect to such reclassification; provided that in no event may the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at any time under Note B exceed the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Advances the proceeds of which were used to fund capitalizable facilities and tooling. The Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, within a reasonable period following delivery of such Loan Reclassification Notice, such amendments or supplements hereto or to any other Loan Document, and such further instruments, and take such further actions, as may be necessary in DOE’s reasonable judgment to effectuate such reclassification of Advances.

(c) Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given under the Transaction Documents or existing at law or in equity. No delay or failure to exercise any right or power accruing under any Transaction Document upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or otherwise shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

(e) If any proceeding has been commenced to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to DOE or FFB, then and in every such case, subject, in each case, to any determination in such proceeding, ( i ) the parties hereto shall be restored to their respective former positions hereunder and ( ii ) thereafter, all rights and remedies of DOE or FFB, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

If a declaration of acceleration in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) shall have been withdrawn in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, DOE shall forthwith deliver to each relevant Collateral Trustee a notice of cancellation of the respective Notice of Acceleration theretofore delivered to such Collateral Trustee.

(g) DOE shall have the right, to be exercised (or not) in its complete discretion, to waive any covenant, Default or Event of Default by a writing setting forth the terms, conditions and extent of such waiver signed by DOE and delivered to the other parties hereto. Any such waiver may only be effected in writing duly executed by DOE, and no other course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any provision hereof. Unless such writing expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence that occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.

(h) For the purpose of enabling DOE to exercise the rights and remedies under this Section 10.2, Borrower hereby grants to DOE, a non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default) without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower, to use any of the patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications constituting Collateral, now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the ATVM Collateral Trustee shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in herein, in the ATVM Collateral Trust Agreement or in any other Loan Document to which it is a party, or any fiduciary relationship with DOE, FFB or any holder of the Notes, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the ATVM Collateral Trust Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the ATVM Collateral Trustee.

No delay or omission in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy ( x ) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or ( y ) by any Lender Party under any Existing Collateral Security Document, including any rights and remedies in connection with the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right, power, privilege or remedy of the Lender Parties, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any right, power, privilege or remedy or of any breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single right, power, privilege or remedy ( x ) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or ( y ) by any Lender Party under any Existing Collateral Security Document, or of any breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or remedy or of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter occurring.

12.6 Severability; Consents .

(a) The holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by DOE hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of DOE to pursue any other remedy available to it. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the parties hereto agree that such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any other provisions of this Agreement and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof.

(b) In the event that DOE’s consent is required under any of the Transaction Documents, the determination whether to grant or withhold such consent shall be made by DOE in its sole discretion without any implied duty towards any other Person, except as otherwise expressly provided therein.

12.7 Judgment Currency .

The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “ rate of exchange ” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant Currency of Denomination that are documented and reasonable in light of market conditions at the time of such conversion.

12.8 Indemnification .

(a) In addition to any and all rights of reimbursement, indemnification, subrogation or any other rights pursuant to this Agreement or under law or in equity, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will pay, and will protect, indemnify, and hold harmless DOE, FFB, each other governmental agency and instrumentality of the United States and each holder or holders of the Notes or any portion thereof and their respective designees, agents and contractors, and all of their respective directors, officers and employees (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), on an after-tax basis, from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Person as the same are incurred for) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other expenses (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) to which such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or relating to any suit, action or proceeding arising from or relating to the entering into and performance of any Transaction Document or the disbursement of, or use of the proceeds of, any Advance under the Funding Agreements, the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein or in any Loan Document or the consummation of any transactions to which any of the Lender Parties are party as contemplated in any Existing Collateral Security Documents including, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the fees of counsel selected by such Indemnified Person incurred in connection with any investigation, litigation or other proceeding or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 12.8 (each, an “ Indemnified Liability ” and any claims under this Section 12.8 in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities being referred to herein, collectively, as “ Indemnity Claims ”), provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 12.8 to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(b) All sums paid and costs incurred by any Indemnified Person with respect to any matter indemnified hereunder shall be added to the Note A Secured Obligations or the Note B Secured Obligations, as the case may be, and be secured by the ATVM Collateral Security Documents or the Existing Collateral Security Documents, as the case may be, and shall be immediately due and payable on demand. Each such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Borrower in a timely manner of any such amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder, provided that any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12.8.

(c) Each Indemnified Person within ten days after the receipt by it of notice of the commencement of any action for which indemnity may be sought by it, or by any Person controlling it, from the Borrower on account of the agreements contained in this Section 12.8, shall notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure of such Indemnified Person to so notify the Borrower of any such action shall not release the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person.

(d) To the extent that the undertaking in the preceding clauses of this Section 12.8 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any applicable Law or public policy, and to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of any such unenforceability (other than due to application of this Section 12.8), the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of such undertakings, on the basis of the relative fault of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on the other hand.

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.8 shall survive foreclosure under the Security Documents and satisfaction or discharge of the Note A Secured Obligations and the Note B Secured Obligations, and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of any Indemnified Person.

(f) Any amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.8 shall be payable within the later to occur of ( i ) 30 Business Days after the Borrower receives an invoice for such amounts from any applicable Indemnified Person, and ( ii ) five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such Indemnified Person expects to pay such costs on account of which the Borrower’s indemnity hereunder is payable, and if not paid by such applicable date shall bear interest at the Late Charge Rate from and after such applicable date until paid in full.

(g) The Borrower shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in the defense of any Indemnity Claim, provided that such Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, at the Borrower’s expense, and such participation by the Borrower in the defense thereof shall not release the Borrower of any liability that it may have to the applicable Indemnified Person. Any Indemnified Person against whom any Indemnity Claim is made shall be entitled to compromise or settle any such Indemnity Claim, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any such compromise or settlement effected without its prior written consent unless, in the case of an Indemnified Person that is a branch or agency of the United States federal government only, ( i ) such Indemnified Person is required by law (other than any regulation issued by DOE or FFB, unless DOE or FFB, as the case may be, is required pursuant to applicable law to issue regulations requiring it to compromise or settle such Indemnity Claim) to compromise or settle such Indemnity Claim, ( ii ) such Indemnified Person shall have provided a legal opinion to the Borrower from outside counsel reasonably acceptable to the Borrower that such Indemnified Person is required by law to compromise or settle such Indemnity Claim and ( iii ) such settlement or compromise is reasonable in light of the defenses available to such Indemnified Person and the probability of such Indemnified Person prevailing at trial.

(h) Upon payment of any Indemnity Claim by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.8, the Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnified Person may have relating thereto, and the applicable Indemnified Person shall at the request and expense of the Borrower cooperate with the Borrower and give at the request and expense of the Borrower such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable the Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims.

(i) No Indemnified Person shall be obliged to pursue first any recovery under any other indemnity or reimbursement obligation before seeking recovery under the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

(j) If and to the extent that DOE ( i ) shall be fully paid in cash or immediately-available funds by the Borrower for any Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any payments of Reimbursement Amounts, DOE shall not be entitled to be indemnified in respect of such payments under this Section 12.8 and ( ii ) shall be fully paid in cash or immediately available funds in respect of any Indemnified Liability pursuant to this Section 12.8, DOE shall not be entitled to be reimbursed under Section 4.1 ( Reimbursement and Other Payment Obligations ) for such Indemnified Liability, provided that in the event that DOE shall be entitled at any time to seek reimbursement and indemnification in respect of any item pursuant to both Section 4.1 and this Section 12.8, then DOE shall be entitled to be paid, and may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to seek recovery, under either of such sections, either sequentially, concurrently or in the alternative, and provided further that in the event that any amount that DOE shall be entitled to be paid under either Section 4.1 or this Section 12.8, as applicable, shall not be equal to the amount that DOE is entitled to be paid under the other such section, then DOE shall be entitled to be paid the lesser amount under either applicable section, at its option as set forth in the preceding proviso, and DOE shall be entitled to be paid the excess amount under the applicable section.

12.9 Limitation on Liability . No claim shall be made by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates against DOE, FFB or any subsequent holder of any Note or any portion of any Note or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law) in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

12.10 Successors and Assigns .

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Except as permitted under Section 9.7(a) ( Fundamental Changes ), the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of DOE and/or FFB, as the case may be.

(c) FFB may assign any or all of its rights, benefits and obligations under the Transaction Documents and with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Funding Agreements, provided that any such assignment of any rights, benefits and obligations under the Existing Collateral Security Documents or with respect to any Existing Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of the Existing Collateral Security Documents, provided further that such assignee, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, ( x ) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints DOE to act as its agent hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, ( y ) hereby irrevocably authorizes DOE to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are necessary or appropriate, as determined by DOE, under the Transaction Documents and ( z ) hereby authorizes DOE to enter into all such amendments or modifications of any Transaction Document on behalf of such assignee and or grant all waivers as are necessary or appropriate, as determined by DOE, under the Transaction Documents (other than amendments to the Note, which amendments shall also require the consent of such assignee), provided further, however, that ( A ) neither DOE nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be ( i ) liable to any assignee for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or ( ii ) responsible in any manner to any assignee for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Obligor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by DOE under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for any failure of any Obligor party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder and ( B ) DOE may conclusively rely upon information supplied by FFB or such assignee in taking any action, or exercising any rights, in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.10.

12.11 Participations . FFB may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in any or all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and with respect to the Collateral without the consent of the Borrower or any Collateral Trustee, provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following the grant of any participation, FFB shall continue to remain fully liable for its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Note and the Borrower and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with FFB in connection with FFB’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

12.12 Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments .

(1) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of any Advance, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder a Prepayment Price for such Advance equal to the sum of:

(A) the price for such Advance that would, if such Advance (including all unpaid interest accrued thereon through the Intended Prepayment Date) were purchased by a third party and held to the Maturity Date, produce a yield to the third-party purchaser for the period from the date of purchase to the Maturity Date substantially equal to the interest rate that would be set on a loan from the Secretary of the Treasury to FFB to purchase an obligation having a payment schedule identical to the payment schedule of such Advance for the period from the Intended Prepayment Date to the Maturity Date; and

(B) all unpaid Late Charges (if any) accrued on such Advance through the Intended Prepayment Date;

(3) in the event that the Borrower elects to prepay this Note in its entirety, then the Borrower shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the sum of the Prepayment Prices for all outstanding Advances (determined in accordance with the principles of clause (1) of this subparagraph (d)).

(1) the prepayment is made to satisfy the Borrower's obligation to make a mandatory prepayment under the "Security Instruments" (as that term is defined in paragraph 19 of this Note); and

(2) the Borrower has certified to that fact in the respective Prepayment Election Notice.

(g) In the event that the Borrower makes a Prepayment Election with respect to any Portion of an Advance, then the Prepayment Price paid for such Portion will be applied as provided in paragraph 13 of this Note, and, with respect to application to outstanding principal, such Prepayment Price shall be applied to principal installments in the inverse order of maturity.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STATEMENT ON FORD'S GREEN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

NOTE TO EDITOR: Ford Motor Company is the first manufacturer to finalize loans under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program, commonly referred to as Section 136. Congress approved this program as part of the 2007 Energy bill. It provides up to $25 billion in loans to companies making cars and components in U.S. factories that increase fuel economy at least 25 percent above 2005 levels. As part of a competitive process, Ford was selected to receive a total of $5.9 billion in loans through early 2012 to fund the development of advanced fuel-efficient vehicles and technologies. The following is a statement from Ford Group Vice President for Government and Community Relations Ziad Ojakli:

WASHINGTON, DC , September 17, 2009. – “Yesterday, Ford and the Department of Energy finalized the arrangements for loans provided under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program, an initiative which focuses on investment in the leading fuel economy technologies in American manufacturing. The company greatly appreciates the leadership of Secretary Steven Chu and the expertise of the Department of Energy officials who were dedicated to a timely and successful conclusion.

Ford is absolutely committed to fuel economy leadership with every new model we introduce. And this green partnership between Ford and the U.S. government will help accelerate the development of advanced technologies for even better fuel-efficiency and lower emissions. In addition, it will help Ford retool 11 plants in five states and protect and retain thousands of 'green' jobs. This government-industry partnership also advances our shared goals of increasing energy security, addressing climate change and supporting manufacturing jobs.”
