          Paragraph 10.C hereof.

     ----------------

     FAA, Dealer and Nissan shall execute A Market Area Plan that describes how

          studies of the Primary Market Area and any contiguous market areas, or

          Provisions, they will base the Market Area Plan on their collaborative
          review and analysis of all relevant data, including such market
          studies. Section 4.B of the Standard Provisions is hereby deleted in
          its entirety.

               standards on which Dealer's performance will be evaluated, which
               standards Dealer acknowledges and agrees will be higher than

               responsible for a CMO;

          iii. a detailed organizational structure and staffing plans, including
               the number of certified sales, service and parts managers, sales

               Peninsula CMO;

          iv.  specific plans for maximizing owner loyalty and customer
               satisfaction, including hours of operation and customer
               convenience systems;

     B.   OPERATIONS
          ----------

          Dealer shall operate in accordance with the Business Plan and shall
          actively and effectively promote the sale of Nissan Products to
          customers located throughout the Primary Market Area. In particular,
          Dealer shall implement the plans and meet the performance standards
          established in the Business Plan.

     C.   ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN REVIEW
          ---------------------------

          Dealer shall review and update its Business Plan annually, or more
          often if needed, and submit it to Nissan for joint review. Updated
          Plans will include a performance evaluation and any proposed
          modifications to the prior year's plan. If Nissan, 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
          FAA and Dealer agree that changes to the proposed Plan are necessary,
          Dealer will make such changes and resubmit its Plan.

               I.   PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
                    ----------------------

               Dealer's performance of its obligations is essential to the

               Therefore, Dealer agrees to review its performance against the
               prior year's Business Plan in its updated Business Plan. Nissan,
               FAA and Dealer will use this analysis as a basis for jointly
               evaluating Dealer's performance so that any necessary
               improvements can be made. In evaluating Dealer's sales
               performance, in addition to those factors established in the
               Standard Provisions, Nissan will give consideration to: (a) sales
               volume or market share objectives for Nissan Products set by the
               parties, and (b) sales and market penetration achieved by Dealer
               in each of the various segments in which Nissan Vehicles compete.

               II.  PLAN MODIFICATIONS
                    ------------------

               Plans for operations are subject to update, but modifications can

10.  RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL OR OPTION TO PURCHASE
     ---------------------------------------------

     A.   DEALERSHIP ASSETS OR OWNERSHIP INTERESTS
          ----------------------------------------
 
          Whenever Dealer proposes to sell its principal assets or the owners of
          Dealer propose to sell a majority ownership interest in Dealer, in
          addition to its rights under Articles Third and Fourth of the Dealer
          Agreement and Section 15.B of the Standard Provisions, Nissan shall
          have the right and option to purchase the dealership assets or
          ownership interests pursuant to this Paragraph 10.

          i.   If Nissan chooses to exercise its option, it must do so in its
               written refusal to consent to the proposed sale or transfer
               pursuant to Section 15.B. Dealer agrees not to complete any
               proposed change or sale prior to the expiration of the period for
               exercise of Nissan's option and without Nissan's prior written
               consent. Such exercise shall be null and void if Dealer withdraws
               its proposal within thirty (30) days following Dealer's receipt
               of Nissan's notice exercising its option.

          ii.  After being exercised, Nissan's option may be assigned to any
               party, and Nissan hereby agrees to guarantee the full payment of
               the purchase price by such assignee. Nissan's rights under this
               Paragraph 10 shall be binding on and enforceable against any
               assignee or successor in interest of Dealer or purchaser of
               Dealer's assets. Nissan shall have no obligation to exercise its
               rights hereunder.

          iii. If Dealer has entered into a bona fide written buy/sell agreement
               respecting its Nissan dealership, Nissan's right under this
               Paragraph 10 shall be a right of first refusal, enabling Nissan
               to assume the prospective purchaser's 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. Nissan may request, FAA and Dealer agrees to
               provide all other documents relating to Dealer and to the
               proposed transfer, including, but not limited to, those
               reflecting any other agreements or understandings between the
               parties to the buy/sell agreement. Nissan shall have sixty (60)
               days from its receipt of all such documents in which to exercise
               its right of first refusal hereunder. If Dealer refuses either to

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
               provide such documentation or to state in writing that no such
               documents exist, it shall be presumed that the agreement is not
               bona fide.

          iv.  In the absence of a bona fide written buy/sell agreement, Nissan
               shall have the option, but no obligation, under this Paragraph 10
               to purchase the principal assets of Dealer utilized in the
               Dealership Operations, including real property and leasehold
               interest, 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 of Dealer shall include the right to lease the
               Dealership Facilities. The purchase price of Dealer's assets
               shall be at their fair market value as a going concern as
               negotiated by the parties and the other terms of sale shall be
               those agreed by Dealer and Nissan. If Dealer and Nissan are
               unable to reach a negotiated settlement in a reasonable time, the
               price and other terms of sale shall be established by arbitration
               pursuant to the Dispute Resolution Process established in
               Paragraph 12 hereof. If Nissan determines that the buy/sell
               agreement is not bona fide, Nissan will so notify Dealer. Dealer
               shall have ten (10) days from its receipt of such notice within
               which to withdraw its proposal. Nissan's exercise of its rights
               hereunder shall be null and void if Dealer withdraws its proposal
               within such time period.

          v.   Dealer shall transfer the affected property free and clear of
               liens, claims, mortgages, encumbrances, tenancies and
               occupancies. Dealer shall also furnish to Nissan copies of any
               easements, licenses, or other documents affecting the dealership
               and/or property and shall assign any permits or licenses which
               are necessary for the conduct of the Dealership Operations.

B.  REAL PROPERTY
    -------------

    Whenever Dealer proposes to sell or lease any of its Dealership Facilities
    and/or Dealership Locations, in addition to its rights under Article Third
    and Fourth of the Dealer Agreement and Section 15.B of the Standard
    Provisions, Nissan shall have the right and option to purchase or lease said
    Dealership Facilities and/or Dealership Locations pursuant to this Paragraph
    10.B.

    i)    If Nissan chooses to exercise its right of first refusal, it must do
          so by written notice delivered to Dealer within sixty (60) days of
          Nissan'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 Nissan's right of first
          refusal and without Nissan's prior written consent, and agrees to
          allow Nissan to perform an environmental study of the property. Dealer
          also agrees to furnish to Nissan copies of any easements, licenses,
          environmental studies or other documents affecting the property Such
          exercise shall be null and void if Dealer withdraws its sale

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          or lease proposal within thirty (30) days following Dealer's receipt
          of Nissan's notice exercising its right of first refusal.

    ii)   After being exercised, Nissan's right to purchase or lease may be
          assigned to any party, and Nissan hereby agrees to guarantee the full
          payment of the purchase price or the rental payment by such assignee.
          Nissan's rights under this Paragraph 10.B shall be binding on and
          enforceable against any assignee or successor in interest of Dealer or
          purchaser of Dealer's assets. Nissan 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.

    iii)  Dealer shall transfer the affected property by Warranty 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 assign any permit or licenses which are necessary
          for the conduct of the Dealership Operations.

     iv)  In addition to any other rights Nissan may have at law, in equity or
          hereunder, any sale or lease of the Dealership Facilities and/or the
          Dealership Locations in violation of this right of first refusal shall
          be voidable by Nissan.

     C.   OPTION TO PURCHASE
          ------------------

          If the CMO Agreement or the Dealer Agreement is to expire or be
          terminated for any reason, including but not limited to the death or
          physical or mental incapacity, without replacement in accordance with
          Section 9.C. hereinabove, of Dealer Principal, Nissan has the option
          to purchase the principal assets of Dealer utilized in the dealership
          business, including such real property as Nissan in its sole
          discretion may elect to purchase, and cancel the CMO Agreement and the
          Dealer 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 prior to the expiration of the CMO
          Agreement and/or the Dealer Agreement or within 30 days after one
          party notifies the other of its intent to terminate the CMO Agreement
          and/or the Dealer Agreement. Nissan may assign its right to exercise
          its option to purchase under this Paragraph 10.C to any third party.

11.  TERMINATION
     ----------- 

     A.   TERMINATION DUE TO ACTS OR EVENTS
          --------------------------------- 

          The following represent events which are within the control of or
          originate from actions taken by Dealer or its management or owners and
          which are so contrary to the intent and purpose of the CMO Agreement
          that they warrant its termination and the termination of the Dealer
          Agreement:

          (i)    Any conduct that warrants the termination of the Dealer
                 Agreement;

          (ii)   The termination of the Dealer Agreement;

          (iii)  The failure of Dealer to maintain at all times exclusive Nissan
                 sales, service, parts and/or other operations at the Dealership
                 Facilities and the Dealership Locations, except as Nissan
                 consents to in writing; or

           (iv)  Any actual or attempted sale or transfer of stock or any other
                 ownership interest in Dealer by way of a public offering
                 without Nissan's prior written consent;

          Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, Nissan may
          terminate the CMO Agreement by giving Dealer notice thereof, such
          termination to be effective upon the date specified in such notice, or
          such later date as may be required by any applicable statute.

     B.   TERMINATION FOR NON-PERFORMANCE
          -------------------------------

          If, based on the evaluation thereof made by Nissan, Dealer shall fail
          to substantially fulfill its responsibilities with respect to:

          (i)    the development of the Peninsula CMO according to the Market
                 Area Plan;

          (ii)   the implementation of the plans set forth in the Business Plan,
                 including but not limited to any deviation therefrom; or
            
          (iii)  the performance of its sales, service, customer relations or
                 other obligations based on the standards established therefor
                 in the Business Plan;

          Nissan will notify Dealer of such failure and will review with Dealer
          the nature and extent of such failure and the reasons which, in
          Nissan's or Dealer's opinion, account for such failure. Thereafter,
          Nissan will provide Dealer with a reasonable opportunity to correct
          the failure. If Dealer fails to make substantial progress towards
          remedying such failure before the expiration of such period, Nissan,
          may, direct Dealer to transfer its rights and obligations under this
          Agreement to another entity, acceptable to Nissan, within a reasonable
          time. Should Dealer fail to do so 

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
          Nissan may (a) terminate this Agreement by giving Dealer notice of
          termination, such termination to be effective at least sixty (60) days
          after such notice is given, (b) exercise its option to purchase the
          principal assets of Dealer utilized in the business, including such
          real property as Nissan in its sole discretion may elect to purchase,
          and cancel the CMO Agreement and the Dealer Agreement pursuant to
          Paragraph 10.C hereof, or (c) restructure the Peninsula CMO and
          reassign to other Authorized Nissan Dealers any areas necessary to
          achieve the maximum potential development of the Peninsula CMO.

12.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
     --------------------------

     A.   EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
          ----------------

          The parties acknowledge that, at the state and federal levels, various
          courts and agencies would, in the absence of this Paragraph 12, 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. (S)(S) 1 et seq.), NISSAN AND DEALER AGREE
          THAT THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OUTLINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH 12,
          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 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
          THE PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS UNDER ANY STATE OR
          FEDERAL STATUTES (hereinafter "Disputes").

          There are two steps in the Dispute Resolution Process: a) Mediation,
          and b) Binding Arbitration. All Disputes must first be submitted to
          Mediation, unless that step is waived by written agreement of the
          parties. If Mediation does not resolve the Dispute to their mutual
          satisfaction, the Dealer or Nissan can submit the Dispute to Binding
          Arbitration.

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

     B.   MEDIATION
          --------- 

          Dealer or Nissan can submit a Dispute to Mediation. Mediation is
          conducted by a panel consisting of a Nissan representative designated
          by Nissan, a Dealer representative designated by Dealer, and an
          independent professional mediator chosen by the parties'
          representatives. The Mediation Panel will evaluate each position and
          recommend a solution. This recommended solution is not binding.

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
     C.   BINDING ARBITRATION
          -------------------

          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.

13.  RELEASE
     -------

     Dealer hereby releases Nissan from any and all claims and causes of action
     that it may have against Nissan for money damages or other relief relating
     to or arising out of any event occurring prior to the execution of the CMO
     Agreement, except for any accounts payable by Nissan to Dealer in
     connection with the provision of any services under the Dealer Agreement
     and any claim described in Section 11.A.1 and .2 of the Standard
     Provisions. In connection with this release, Dealer expressly acknowledges
     and waives its rights under California Civil Code, Section 1542, which
     provides:

          A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES
          NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
          RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
          SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
