                    DEALER TERM SALES AND SERVICE AGREEMENT
                                        
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into and effective the day last set forth below by and
between the Nissan Division of NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION IN U.S.A., a California
corporation, hereinafter called "Seller," and the entities and natural persons
identified in the Final Article of this Agreement.


                                 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish Dealer as an authorized dealer of
Nissan Products and to provide for the sale and servicing of Nissan Products in
a manner that will best serve owners, potential owners and purchasers of Nissan
Products as well as the interests of Seller, Dealer and other Authorized Nissan
Dealers. This Agreement sets forth: the rights which Dealer will enjoy as an
Authorized Nissan Dealer; the responsibilities which Dealer assumes in
consideration of its receipt of these rights; and the respective conditions,
rights and obligations of Seller and Dealer that apply to Seller's grant to
Dealer of such rights and Dealer's assumption of such responsibilities. It is
understood that each term and undertaking hereinafter described is material, and
relied upon, as the quid pro quo and consideration for this Agreement.

This is a personal services Agreement. In entering into this Agreement and
appointing Dealer as provided below, Seller is relying, among other things, upon
the personal qualifications, expertise, reputation, integrity, experience,
ability and representations of the individual named in the Final Article of this
Agreement as Dealer Principal (the "Dealer Principal") the individual named in
the Final Article of this Agreement as Executive Manager and the representations
of FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc.. ("FAA"), and FAA Dublin N, Inc., ("Dealer" or
"Dublin Nissan"). In addition to Dealer, Seller intends to look to FAA, the
Dealer Principal and the Executive Manager for the performance of Dealer's
obligations hereunder.

Nissan Products are intended for discriminate owners with the expectation that
such owners will be loyal and proud, but also demanding toward Seller and Dealer
with respect to Nissan Products and the manner in which they are sold and
serviced. Owners, potential owners and purchasers of Nissan Products are
expected to want, and are entitled to do business with, dealers who enjoy the
highest reputation in their communities and have well located, attractive and
efficient places of business, courteous personnel and outstanding service and
parts facilities. Nissan Products must be sold by enthusiastic dealers who are
not interested in short term results only but are willing to look toward long
term goals and who are devoted to creating and maintaining a positive total
ownership experience for owners of Nissan Products. Seller's standard of
excellence for Nissan Products must be matched by the dealers who sell them to
the public and who service them during their operative lives.

Achievement of the purposes of this Agreement is premised upon mutual
understanding and cooperation between Seller and Dealer. Dealer has entered into
this Agreement in reliance upon Seller's integrity and expressed intention to
deal fairly with Dealer and the consuming public. Seller has entered into this
Agreement in reliance upon the integrity and ability of the Dealer Principal and
Executive Manager and their expressed intention to deal fairly with the
consuming public and Seller.

It is the responsibility of Seller to market Nissan Products throughout the
Territory. It is the responsibility of Dealer to actively promote the retail
sale of Nissan Products and to provide courteous and efficient service of Nissan
Products. The success of both Seller and Dealer will depend on how well they
each fulfill their respective responsibilities under this Agreement. It is
recognized that: Seller will endeavor to provide motor vehicles of excellent
quality and

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
workmanship and to establish a network of Authorized Nissan Dealers that can
provide an outstanding sales and service effort at the retail level; and Dealer
will endeavor to fulfill its responsibilities through aggressive, sound, ethical
selling practices and through conscientious regard for customer service in all
aspects of its Nissan Dealership Operations.

Seller and Dealer shall refrain from engaging in conduct or activities which
might be detrimental to or reflect adversely upon the reputation of Seller,
Dealer or Nissan Products and shall engage in no discourteous, deceptive,
misleading or unethical practices or activities.

     (a) Owners. This Agreement has been entered into by Seller in reliance
         ------
upon, and in consideration of, among other things, the personal qualifications,

respect thereto of the Dealer Principal and Executive Manager named in the Final
Article of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and
agreements of FAA and Dealer as follows:

      (i)    FAA will at all times own 100% of the capital stock of Dealer and
Dealer will at all times be maintained as a separate entity.

      (ii)   The Executive Committee of Dealer is set forth in attached Schedule

      (iii)  The officers of Dealer are as set forth in attached Schedule "A".

      (iv)   FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc., ("FAA") owns 100% of the outstanding
stock of FAA Dublin N, Inc. (see Attachment "A" attached).

     (b) Changes in Ownership.  In view of the fact that this is a personal
         --------------------
services agreement with the Dealer Principal and Executive Manager and in view
of its objectives and purposes, this Agreement and the rights and privileges
conferred on Dealer hereunder are not assignable, transferable or salable by FAA
and Dealer, and no property right or interest is or shall be deemed to be sold,
conveyed or transferred to FAA and Dealer under this Agreement. FAA, Dealer, the
Dealer Principal and the Executive Manager agree that any change in the
ownership of Dealer other than specified herein requires the prior written
consent of Seller IF DEALER DESIRES TO REMAIN AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER and
that without the prior written consent of Seller:

      (i)    no sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any of the
currently outstanding capital stock or partnership interest of Dealer will be
made and no additional shares of capital stock, partnership interest or
securities convertible into shares of capital stock, of Dealer will be issued or
sold.

      (ii)   no sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any of the
currently outstanding capital stock of Dealer will be made and no additional
shares of capital stock, partnership interest or securities convertible into
shares of capital stock, of Dealer will be issued or sold.

Dealer's obligations under this Agreement will be sold, transferred or assigned.

      (iv)   Dealer will not enter into any transaction, including, without
limitation, any sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any of the
currently outstanding capital stock of Dealer, the issuance or sale of
additional shares of capital stock, partnership interest or securities

or into, or the consolidation of FAA Dublin N, Inc., with any other entity, if
as a result of such transaction, that FAA will cease to own at least 100% of the
capital stock or interest of Dealer.

      (v)   If any person or entity, after the date of the initial public
offering, acquires more than 20% of FAA's common stock issued and outstanding at
any time and Nissan determines that such person or entity does not have
interests compatible with those of Nissan, or is otherwise not qualified to have
an ownership interest in a Nissan dealership (an "Adverse Person"), FAA, upon
written notification by Nissan, must cause any subsidiaries, owned, or
controlled entities to

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
terminate its dealer agreements with Nissan or transfer the Nissan dealerships
to a third party acceptable to Nissan within 90 days after such notification,
unless, within 90 days after Nissan's determination, the adverse Person's
ownership interest is reduced to less than 20%.

     Any transaction involving the capital stock of Dublin Nissan, including a
public offering or trade of the shares of FAA, which does not violate
subparagraph (iv) above may be effected without obtaining the prior written
consent of Seller and without triggering a termination event under Section
12.A.(2) of the Standard Provisions.

     Dealer shall give Seller prior notice of any proposed change in said
ownership requiring the consent of Seller and immediate notice of the death or
incapacity of any Dealer Principal or Executive Manager. No such change, and no
assignment of this Agreement or of any right or interest herein, shall be
effective against Seller unless and until embodied in an appropriate amendment
to or assignment of this Agreement, as the case may be, duly executed and
delivered by Seller and by Dealer. Seller shall not, however, unreasonably
withhold its consent to any such change, subject to Seller's Rights of First
Refusal set forth in Article Tenth of this Agreement. Seller shall have no
obligation to transact business with any person who is not named either as a
Dealer Principal or Executive Manager of Dealer hereunder, or in the event of
death or incapacity, those persons named as the successors to the Dealer
Principal and/or Executive Manager in the successorship plan hereafter (upon
mutual consent of the parties) or otherwise to give effect to any proposed sale
or transfer of the ownership, partnership interest or management of Dealer and
FAA (other than changes in the ownership of FAA and Dealer which are expressly
permitted by this Article Third) prior to having concluded the evaluation of
such a proposal as provided in Section 15 of the Standard Provisions. Nissan may
conduct routine, day to day business with the person named as the Location
Manager for the location so designated. Dealer acknowledges Seller's right to
require consent to any change in the ownership of Dealer, and agrees that any
change or transfer without such consent from Seller is void, and of no force and
effect, and grounds for termination. FAA and Dealer further agree that they will
not challenge, contest, dispute, or litigate, except as provided in Article
15(c) hereafter:

     (i)    any action taken by Seller (including, without limitation,
termination of this Agreement) in response to an attempt to transfer ownership
of Dealer (except as provided by this Agreement) without Seller's consent; or

     (ii)   any decisions by Seller to withhold consent to a proposed change in
ownership of Dealer.

Agreement and in reliance on the following representations and agreements of FAA

      (ii)  Location Manager will devote 100% of his time to the affairs of the
relevant Dealership location.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     (b) Dealer.  Seller and Dealer agree that the retention by Dealer of
         ------
qualified management is of critical importance to the successful operation of
Dealer and to the achievement of the purposes and objectives of this Agreement.
This Agreement has been entered into by Seller in reliance upon, and in
consideration of, among other things, the personal qualifications, expertise,
reputation, integrity, experience, ability and representations with respect
thereto of the persons named as Dealer Principal and Executive Manager in the
Final Article of this Agreement and in reliance on the following representations
and agreements of FAA and Dealer, that:

      (i)    There must be an approved Executive Manager, acceptable to Nissan.
There must be an approved Location Manager employed by Dealer to manage each
Dealership location. As long as Thomas A. Price and the Executive Manager
subject to the provisions of Article 15(f) are employed by FAA and the Location
Manager is employed by Dealer, they will have full and complete control over the
Dealership Operations, subject only to the powers of the Board of Directors of
Dealer to manage the business and affairs of Dealer, and they will at all times
be members of the Board of Directors of Dealer. In addition, any replacements
for Price and Executive Manager will, so long as such replacements are employed
by FAA and Dealer, have full and complete control over the Dealership
Operations, subject only to the powers of the Board of Directors of Dealer to
manage the business and affairs of Dealer, and such replacements will at all
times be members of the Board of Directors of Dealer.

      (ii)   the Board of Directors of Dealer shall delegate the management of
the Dealership Operations to the Executive Manager identified in Article 15(f),
and FAA will not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws to provide
that its Board of Directors is entitled to exercise any extraordinary powers or
interfere unduly in the Dealership Operations.

      (iii)  Location Manager, subject to any other obligations set forth in
this Agreement, shall continually provide his personal services in operating the
dealership and will be physically present at the Dealership Facilities on a 
full-time basis.

     (c) Changes in Management. In view of the fact that this is a personal
         ---------------------
services Agreement with the Dealer Principal and Executive Manager and in view
of its objectives and purposes, Dealer and FAA agree that any change in the
Dealer Principal from that specified in the Final Article of this Agreement
requires the prior written consent of Seller. Any change to the Executive
Manager requires notice to Seller and timely replacement with an Executive
Manager acceptable to Seller. In addition, FAA and Dealer agree that no chief
executive officer, or person performing services and having responsibilities
similar to a chief executive officer, of FAA will be appointed, directly or
indirectly, without the prior written consent of Seller. Dealer shall give
Seller prior notice of any proposed change in Dealer Principal or Executive
Manager or the appointment of any chief executive or similar officer of FAA and
immediate notice of the death or incapacity of any Dealer Principal or Executive
Manager.  No change in Dealer Principal or Executive Manager and no appointment
of a chief executive or similar officer of FAA shall be effective unless and
until embodied in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement duly executed and
delivered by all of the parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing, Dealer and FAA
shall make their own, independent decisions concerning the hiring and firing of
its employees, including, without limitation, the Dealer Principal and Executive
Manager.

          Dealer shall give Seller prior written notice of any proposed change
in Dealer Principal, timely notice of any change to Executive Manger, and
immediate notice of the death or incapacity of Dealer Principal or Executive
Manager. No change in Dealer Principal or Executive Manager shall be effective
unless and until embodied in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement duly
executed and delivered by all of the parties hereto. Dealer acknowledges
Seller's right (as set forth herein and in the Standard Provisions) to require
consent to any change in the management of Dealer, and FAA and Dealer agree that
a change to the Dealer Principal or substitution of the Executive Manager,
without such consent from Seller is without

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
effect upon Seller, of no force and effect, and grounds for termination. FAA and
Dealer further agree that they will not challenge, contest, dispute, or
litigate, except as provided by Article Fifteenth (c):

     (i)    any action taken by Seller (including, without limitation,
termination of this Agreement) in response to an attempt to change the
management of Dealer without Seller's consent; or

     (ii)   any decision by Seller to withhold consent to a proposed change in
management of Dealer; or

     (iii)  any decision by Seller to withhold approval of a proposed management
candidate.

          To enable Seller to evaluate and respond to Dealer concerning any
proposed change in Dealer Principal or Executive Manager or the appointment of
any chief executive or similar officer of FAA agrees to provide, in the form
requested by Seller and in a timely manner, all applications and information
customarily requested by Seller to evaluate the proposed change. While Seller
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such change, it is agreed
that any successor Dealer Principal, Executive Manager or Location Manager or
similar officer of FAA must possess personal qualifications, expertise,
reputation, integrity, experience and ability which are, in the opinion of
Seller, satisfactory. Seller will determine whether, in its opinion, the
proposed change or appointment is likely to result in a successful dealership
operation with capable management that will satisfactorily perform Dealer's
obligations under this Agreement. Seller shall have no obligation to transact
business with any person who is not named as a Dealer Principal or Executive
Manager of Dealer hereunder prior to having concluded its evaluation of such
person. Upon FAA's request, Seller may, but has no obligation to, transact
business with an individual proposed by Dealer and acceptable to Seller during a
prolonged incapacity or unavailability of Dealer Principal and Executive
Manager.

               Any successor Dealer Principal or Executive Manager or similar

     ARTICLE TENTH: Right of First Refusal, Option to Purchase, Exclusivity

A.  Seller's Right of First Refusal and Option to Purchase

     In addition to its rights under this Agreement, in the event that FAA or
Dealer should desire to enter into a transaction which requires Seller's
consent, and without such consent would result in a breach of the covenants set
forth in Article Third, Sections (a)(i); (a)(ii); (a)(iii); (a)(iv); or (b) of
this Agreement or in the event that any of the covenants set forth in Article

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Third, Section (b); Article Fourth, Section (a) (vii); or Article Ninth, Section
(c) (ii) of this Agreement are breached, Seller shall have the additional right
and option to purchase the dealership assets or ownership interests under this
Right of First Refusal or Option to Purchase pursuant to this Article Tenth.

     (a) If Seller chooses to exercise its Right of First Refusal or Option to
Purchase, it must do so in its written refusal to consent to the proposed sale
or transfer pursuant to Section 15 of the Standard Provisions or, if Section 15
of the Standard Provisions does not apply, within sixty (60) days of receipt of
notification that a event triggering Seller's right of first refusal hereunder
has occurred. FAA and Dealer agree not to complete any proposed change or sale
prior to the expiration of the period for exercise of Seller's right of first
refusal and without Seller's prior written consent. Such exercise shall be null
and void if FAA and/or Dealer withdraws its proposal within thirty (30) days
following Dealer's receipt of Seller's notice exercising its rights of first
refusal. If Seller elects to exercise its Option to Purchase, it must so notify
FAA and Dealer in writing, specifying the nature of the breach upon which it is
relying, and, if practicable, providing FAA and Dealer with a reasonable
opportunity to cure the breach. If FAA or Dealer is not able to cure the breach
relied upon in the notice, or does not cure that breach, then FAA and Dealer may
attempt to sell or otherwise transfer the relevant Dealer Assets to an entity
acceptable to Seller within 60 days. If Seller reasonably does not approve such
a transfer, or if Dealer and FAA are unable to complete such a transaction,
Seller may request an additional 30 days for this purpose. If, at the end of
this period Seller reasonably does not approve a transfer, or, if Seller
reasonably does not approve the extension, then Seller may execute this Option
to Purchase.

     (b) After being exercised, Seller's right to purchase may be assigned to
any party, and Seller hereby agrees to guarantee the full payment of the
purchase price by such assignee. Seller's rights under this Article Tenth shall
be binding on and enforceable against any assignee or successor in interest of
Dealer or purchaser of Dealer's assets. Seller shall have no obligation to
exercise its rights hereunder.

     (c) If Dealer has entered into a bona fide written buy/sell agreement
respecting its Nissan dealership, Seller's right under this Article Tenth shall
be a right of first refusal, enabling Seller to assume the prospective
purchaser's purchase rights and obligations under such buy/sell agreement. The
purchase price and other terms of sale shall be those set forth in such
agreement and any related documents. Seller may request and Dealer agrees to
provide all other documents relating to Dealer and the proposed transfer,
including, but not limited to, those reflecting any other agreements or
understandings between the parties to the buy/sell agreement. If Dealer refuses
either to provide such documentation or to state in writing that no such
document exists, it shall be presumed that the agreement is not bona fide.

     (d) If Seller determines pursuant to paragraph (c) above that the buy/sell
agreement is not bona fide, Seller will so notify Dealer. Dealer shall have
twenty (20) days from its receipt of such notice within which to withdraw its
proposal. Seller's exercise of its rights hereunder shall be null and void if
Dealer withdraws its proposal within such time period. If the proposal is not
withdrawn, Seller shall have the option, but no obligation, under this Article
Tenth to purchase the principal assets of Dealer utilized in the Dealership
Operations, including real estate and leasehold interest or to purchase the
ownership interests of Dealer, and to terminate this Agreement and all rights
granted Dealer hereunder. If the Dealership Facilities are leased by Dealer from
an affiliated company, the right to purchase the principal assets, or the
ownership interests, of Dealer, shall include the right to lease the Dealership
Facilities. The purchase price shall be at the then fair market value as
determined by an independent appraiser selected by Seller and reasonably
acceptable to FAA and Dealer, and the other terms of sale shall be those agreed
by Seller, Dealer and FAA

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     (e)  Dealer shall transfer the affected property free and clear of liens,
claims, mortgages, and encumbrances.

     (f)  In addition to any other rights Seller may have at law, in equity or
hereunder, any conveyance of the dealership in violation of this right of first
refusal shall be voidable by Seller.

     (g)  In the event that Seller elects not to exercise its right of first
refusal to purchase the dealership assets or the ownership interests of the
Dealer; FAA and FAA Dublin N, Inc., agree that they will offer to sell such
assets or interests to an entity or persons acceptable to Seller.  If such
individuals are not interested in such a transaction and no other entity or
individuals acceptable to Seller can be found, then, at Seller's option, Seller
may approve a buyer proposed by FAA, may waive the linkage requirements between
dealerships, if any, or may propose a buyer to assume a bona fide offer procured
by Dealer.

B.  Right of First Refusal on Sale or Lease of Property to a Third Party.

          a)  In addition to its rights under Articles Third and Fourth and
Section 15 of the Standard Provisions, Dealer agrees that should Dealer seek to
sell or lease all or substantially all of the Approved Site to a third party for
use as a Nissan New Motor Vehicle Dealership, Seller shall have the additional
right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase or lease the Approved Site
pursuant to this Article Thirteenth. A sale or lease for use other than a Nissan
New Motor Vehicle Dealership, without Seller's consent, is void.

          b)  If Seller chooses to exercise its right of first refusal, it must
do so by written notice delivered to Dealer within 60 days of Seller's receipt
of notice of the proposed sale or lease by Dealer. Dealer agrees not to complete
any proposed sale or lease prior to the expiration of the period for exercise of
Seller's right of first refusal and without Seller's prior written consent, and
agrees to allow Seller to perform an environmental study of the property. Such
exercise shall be null and void if Dealer withdraws its sale or lease proposal
within thirty (30) days following Dealer's receipt of Seller's notice exercising
its right of first refusal.

          c)  After being exercised, Seller's right to purchase or lease may be
assigned to any party, and Seller hereby agrees to guarantee the full payment of
the purchase price or the rental payment by such assignee. Seller's rights under
this Article Thirteenth shall be binding on and enforceable against any assignee
or successor in interest of Dealer or purchaser of Dealer's assets. Seller shall
have no obligation to exercise its rights hereunder, and Seller may rescind its
offer if the property is determined to be contaminated pursuant to an
environmental study. Such contamination shall be deemed a breach of this
agreement by dealer.

          d)  Should Seller actually purchase or lease the facility, Dealer
shall also furnish to Seller copies of any easements, licenses, environmental
studies or other documents affecting the property.

          e)  Dealer shall transfer the affected property by deed conveying
marketable title free and clear of liens, claims, mortgages, encumbrances,
tenancies and occupancies, or, if applicable, by an assignment of any existing
lease. The Warranty Deed shall be in proper form for recording. Dealer shall
deliver complete possession of the property at the time of delivery of the Deed
or lease assignment. Dealer shall also furnish to Seller copies of any
easements, licenses, or other documents affecting the property and shall assign
any permits or licenses which are necessary for the conduct of the Dealership
Operations.

          f)  In addition to any other rights Seller may have at law, in equity
or hereunder, any sale or lease of the Approved Site in violation of this right
of first refusal shall be voidable by Seller.

C.  Exclusivity Provisions.

     In order for Dealer to maintain competitive Dealership Facilities to
effectively market Nissan Products, Dealer hereby agrees to abide by and never
challenge, except as provided in Article Fifteenth (c), the following provisions
(hereinafter "Exclusivity Provisions"). These Exclusivity Provisions shall be
effective on or before the execution of the Agreement, and continue in effect
thereafter so long as Dealer (or its principals) are authorized Nissan dealers
and these provisions shall be binding on any successors-in-interest, assignors
or purchasers of

Dealer:

          a)  The only line-make of new, unused motor vehicles which Dealer
shall display and sell at the Dealership Facilities shall be the Nissan line and
make of motor vehicles. Dealer shall not conduct any dealership operations for
any other make or line of new, unused vehicles from the Dealership Facilities
throughout the term of this Agreement.

          b)  Dealer shall sell and maintain a full line of Genuine Nissan Parts
and Accessories at the Dealership Facilities and shall provide a full range of
automotive servicing for Nissan vehicles at the Dealership Facilities pursuant
to Section 5 of the Standard Provisions to the Agreement. Nothing contained
herein, however, shall preclude Dealer from offering parts, accessories or
servicing for vehicles of other lines or makes so long as such products or
services are incidental to Dealer's Nissan Dealership Operations;

          c)  Dealer shall not advertise or promote any make or line of new,
unused vehicles from the Dealership Facilities other than the Nissan line; and

          d)  Dealer shall not install or maintain any sign at or near the
Dealership Facilities which would tend to lead the public into believing that
any line or make of vehicles other than the Nissan line is sold at the
Dealership Facilities.

     ARTICLE ELEVENTH: Breach By Dealer

     In the event (i) that any of the material representations and warranties of
Dealer, FAA, Thomas A. Price or Executive Manager, contained in this Agreement

violation of any of the covenants made by Dealer and FAA, Thomas A. Price or
Executive Manager, in Articles Third, Fourth and Ninth of this Agreement or
(iii) of the occurrence of any of the events warranting termination of this
Agreement as set forth in Section 12.A of the Standard Provisions, Seller may
terminate this Agreement, prior to the expiration date hereof, by giving Dealer
written notice thereof, specifying the nature of the breach; Dealer shall have
an opportunity to cure the breach within 45 days; at the expiration of this 45
day cure period, if the breach has not been satisfactorily cured, Seller may
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Dealer, such termination to
be effective upon the date specified in such notice, or such latter date as may
be required by any applicable statute with the effect set forth in Section 13 of
the Standard Provisions.

     ARTICLE TWELFTH: Execution of Agreement

     This Agreement, and any Addendum or amendment or notice with respect
thereto, shall be valid and binding on Seller only when it bears the signature
of either the President or an authorized Vice President of Seller and, when such
signature is a facsimile, the manual countersignature of an authorized employee
of Seller at the Director level and a duplicate original thereof is delivered
personally or by mail to the Dealership Location. This Agreement shall bind
Dealer and the other parties hereto only when it is signed by: a duly authorized

     (c) Section 12.A.(l) of the Standard Provisions is hereby amended to read

whether by operation of law or otherwise, by Dealer or FAA of any interest in or

     (d) Section 12.A.(3) of the Standard Provisions is hereby amended to read
as follows:

     "(3) Removal, resignation, withdrawal or elimination from Dealer for any
reason of the Executive Manager, or removal, resignation, withdrawal or

<PAGE>
 
reputation or financial standing of Dealer or its executive management
subsequent to the execution of this Agreement:"

     (g) Exhibits A and B are hereby incorporated by reference.

     ARTICLE FOURTEENTH: Branding / Business Name

     The parties acknowledge and agree that Dealer shall do business as Dublin
Nissan. Dealer agrees to include in its promotional, marketing and advertising
efforts the approved name of the Dealership or another name approved by Nissan
that includes the Nissan name. In all television, radio, print and other
advertising and marketing conducted by dealer, Dealer shall refer to itself as
"Dublin Nissan" or such other approved name. Dealer shall actively and
effectively promote primarily the "Nissan" name. Under no circumstances shall
the name "Nissan" be subordinated to or promoted less aggressively than any
other name (eg. "FAA") by Dealer.

     ARTICLE FIFTEENTH: Special Conditions

     (a) Adequate Representation of Entire Line of Nissan Vehicles

Dealer shall actively and effectively promote the sale of Nissan's entire line
of vehicles and products to customers located throughout the Primary Market
Area. In evaluating Dealer's sales performance, in addition to those factors
established in the Standard Provisions, Nissan will evaluate Dealer's
performance by vehicle segment. Dealer is obligated to adequately represent
Nissan in each and every model line. Adequate representation is the higher of
national, regional, state or DMA average, adjusted for segment popularity, as
set forth in the Business plan.

     (b)  Nissan Products

The definition of "Nissan Products" in the Standard Provisions is amended to
mean Nissan Vehicles (defined as Nissan Cars and Nissan Trucks as well as "near-
new" Nissan Vehicles of the current and three prior model years), Genuine Parts
and Accessories, Nissan Security+Plus and such other products and services
offered by Nissan to Dealer and designated by Nissan as a Nissan Product. Dealer
shall actively and effectively promote the sale of Nissan Products.
Effectiveness with respect to Nissan Security+Plus sales is measured by the
ratio of Security+Plus sales to new vehicles sales, compared to the higher of
national, regional, state or DMA average as set forth in the Business plan or as
otherwise set forth in the Business Plan.

     (c)  Dispute Resolution Process

          The parties acknowledge that, at the state and federal level, various
courts and agencies would, in the absence of this Article Fifteenth (d), be
available to them to resolve claims or controversies which might arise between
them. The parties agree that it is inconsistent with their relationship for
either to use courts or governmental agencies to resolve such claims or
controversies.

          THEREFORE, CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNITED STATES
ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C. SEC. 1 ET SEQ.), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AGREE
THAT THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, WHICH INCLUDES
BINDING ARBITRATION, SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE,
CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
TO

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS UNDER
ANY STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTES (HEREINAFTER "DISPUTES").

Section 16 of the Standard Provisions is deleted in its entirety.

There are two steps in the Dispute Resolution Process: Mediation and Binding
Arbitration. All Disputes must first be submitted to Mediation, unless that step
is waived by written agreement of the parties. Mediation is conducted by a panel
consisting of an equal number of representatives of the parties designated by
Nissan and selected by Dealer. The Mediation Panel will evaluate each position
and recommend a solution. This recommended solution is not binding.

If a dispute has not been resolved after Mediation, or if Dealer and Nissan have
agreed in writing to waive Mediation, the Dispute will be settled by Binding
Arbitration. SPECIFICALLY, THE PARTIES AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL SUCH DISPUTES BY
BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION
PROCEDURES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, WITH THE PREVAILING PARTY TO
RECOVER ITS COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY.  ALL ARBITRATION
AWARDS ARE BINDING AND NON- APPEALABLE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE
UNITED STATES ARBITRATION ACT. JUDGMENT UPON ANY SUCH AWARD MAY BE ENTERED AND
ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.

     (d)  Business Plan

     Dealer and Nissan shall execute a Business Plan in the form specified in
the Business Planning Process Workbook that describes how Dealer will fulfill it
sales, service, customer relations and other commitments hereunder, including
heightened performance standards that Dealer commits to meet;

     (e)  Option to Purchase

     If the Dealer Agreement is to expire or be terminated: i) Voluntarily by
Dealer; ii) By Nissan upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 12A. of the Standard Provisions to the Agreement (as modified herein);
or iii) As a result of the death or physical or mental incapacity of Principal
Owners, without a qualified successor under the successorship plan required in
the Business Plan under Section 6 of the Contiguous Market Ownership Addendum,
without a timely replacement, reasonably acceptable to Seller, Nissan has the
option to Purchase the principal assets of Dealer utilized in the dealership
business, including such real property as Nissan may elect to purchase, and
cancel the Agreement and all rights granted Dealer thereunder. The purchase
price of the dealership assets and real property and other terms will be
determined by agreement between the parties or, if the parties are unable to
reach agreement in a reasonable time, by arbitration pursuant to the Dispute
Resolution Process established in Paragraph 12 hereof. Nissan must advise Dealer
of its intent to exercise this option within 30 days after one party notifies
the other of its intent to terminate the Agreement. Nissan may assign its right
to exercise its option to purchase under this paragraph to any third party.

     (f)  Executive Manager Evaluation

     Dealer shall retain a qualified Executive Manager meeting Seller's approval
to be named under the Final Article of this Agreement.

Dealer has proposed Steven A. Haworth as Executive Manager.
