You should not purchase the securities described in this prospectus unless you understand and know you can bear all of the investment risks involved.

#### FORD MOTOR COMPANY
We incorporated in Delaware in 1919. We acquired the business of a Michigan company, also known as Ford Motor Company, which had been incorporated in 1903 to produce and sell automobiles designed and engineered by Henry Ford. We are a global company based in Dearborn, Michigan. We are committed to helping build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. Our Ford+ plan for growth and value creation combines existing strengths, new capabilities, and always-on relationships with customers to enrich experiences for and deepen the loyalty of those customers. We develop and deliver innovative, must-have Ford trucks, sport utility vehicles, commercial vans and cars, and Lincoln luxury vehicles, along with connected services. With our change in segments (as discussed below) effective January 1, 2023, we do that through three customer-centered business segments: Ford Blue, engineering iconic gas-powered and hybrid vehicles; Ford Model e, inventing breakthrough electric vehicles ("EVs") along with embedded software that defines always-on digital experiences for all customers; and Ford Pro, helping commercial customers transform and expand their businesses with vehicles and services tailored to their needs. Additionally, we are pursuing mobility solutions through Ford Next (previously Mobility), and provide financial services through Ford Motor Credit Company LLC ("Ford Credit"). Our headquarters are located at One American Road, Dearborn, Michigan 48126 and our telephone number is 313-322-3000.

On January 1, 2023, we implemented a new operating model and reporting structure. With this change, we will analyze the results of our business through the following reportable segments: Ford Blue, Ford Model e, and Ford Pro (combined, replacing the Automotive Segment); Ford Next (previously Mobility); and Ford Credit. As a result of the change, beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, we will report our results in these five reportable segments. Company adjusted EBIT will include the financial results of these five reportable segments and Corporate Other, and net income will comprise the financial results of the five reportable segments and Corporate Other, as well as Interest on Debt, Special Items, and Taxes.

Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities as of December 31, 2022.

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

*Mobility Segment.* Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs for Ford's autonomous vehicles and related businesses, Ford's equity ownership in Argo AI (a developer of autonomous driving systems), and other mobility businesses and investments

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

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
We, or our affiliates, will use the net proceeds from the sale of securities for general corporate purposes, unless we state otherwise in a prospectus supplement. If we intend to use the proceeds to repay outstanding debt, we will provide details about the debt that is being repaid.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We will issue debt securities in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of January 30, 2002 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank. The Indenture may be supplemented from time to time.

The Indenture is a contract between us and The Bank of New York Mellon acting as Trustee. The Trustee has two main roles. First, the Trustee can enforce your rights against us if an "Event of Default" described below occurs. Second, the Trustee performs certain administrative duties for us.

The Indenture is summarized below. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. We filed the Indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement, and we suggest that you read those parts of the Indenture that are important to you. You especially need to read the Indenture to get a complete understanding of your rights and our obligations under the covenants described below under Limitation on Liens, Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks, and Merger and Consolidation. Throughout the summary we have included parenthetical references to the Indenture so that you can easily locate the provisions being discussed.

The specific terms of each series of debt securities will be described in the particular prospectus supplement relating to that series. The prospectus supplement may or may not modify the general terms found in this prospectus and will be filed with the SEC. For a complete description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, you should read both this prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to that particular series.

#### General
The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued under it. Therefore, additional debt securities may be issued under the Indenture.

The prospectus supplement, which will accompany this prospectus, will describe the particular series of debt securities being offered by including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the designation or title of the series of debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the total principal amount of the series of debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the percentage of the principal amount at which the series of debt securities will be offered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the date or dates on which principal will be payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the rate or rates of interest (which may be either fixed or variable) and/or the method of determining such rate or rates of interest, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, or the method of determining such date or dates, and the date or dates on which any interest will be payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the terms for redemption, extension, or early repayment, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the currencies in which the series of debt securities are issued and payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the provision for any sinking fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any additional restrictive covenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any additional Events of Default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • whether the series of debt securities are issuable in certificated form;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any provisions modifying the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any special tax implications, including provisions for original issue discount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any provisions for convertibility or exchangeability of the debt securities into or for any other securities;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • whether the debt securities are subject to subordination and the terms of such subordination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any other terms.

The debt securities will be our unsecured obligations. Senior debt securities will rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (parent company only). Subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. See "— Subordination."

Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, will be paid by us in immediately available funds.

The Indenture does not contain any provisions that give you protection in the event we issue a large amount of debt or we are acquired by another entity.

#### Limitation on Liens
The Indenture restricts our ability to pledge some of our assets as security for other debt. Unless we secure the debt securities on an equal basis, the restriction does not permit us to have or guarantee any debt that is secured by (1) any of our principal U.S. plants or (2) the stock or debt of any of our subsidiaries that own or lease one of these plants. This restriction does not apply until the total amount of our secured debt plus the discounted value of the amount of rent we must pay under sale and leaseback transactions involving principal U.S. plants exceeds 5% of our consolidated net tangible automotive assets. This restriction also does not apply to any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • liens of a company that exist at the time such company becomes our subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • liens in our favor or in the favor of our subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain liens given to a government;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • liens on property that exist at the time we acquire the property or liens that we give to secure our paying for the property; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any extension or replacement of any of the above. (Section 10.04)

#### Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks
The Indenture prohibits us from selling and leasing back any principal U.S. plant for a term of more than three years. This restriction does not apply if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • we could create secured debt in an amount equal to the discounted value of the rent to be paid under the lease without violating the limitation on liens provision discussed above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the lease is with or between any of our subsidiaries; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • within 120 days of selling the U.S. plant, we retire our funded debt in an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the plant or the fair market value of the plant, whichever is greater. (Section 10.05)

#### Merger and Consolidation
The Indenture prohibits us from merging or consolidating with any company, or selling all or substantially all of our assets to any company, if after we do so the surviving company would violate the limitation on liens or the limitation on sales and leasebacks discussed above. This does not apply if the surviving company secures the debt securities on an equal basis with the other secured debt of the company. (Sections 8.01 and 8.03)

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Events of Default and Notice Thereof
The Indenture defines an "Event of Default" as being any one of the following events:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • failure to pay interest for 30 days after becoming due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • failure to pay principal or any premium for five business days after becoming due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • failure to make a sinking fund payment for five days after becoming due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • failure to perform any other covenant applicable to the debt securities for 90 days after notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • any other Event of Default provided in the prospectus supplement.

An Event of Default for a particular series of debt securities will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any other series of debt securities issued under the Indenture. (Section 5.01)

If an Event of Default occurs and continues, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the total principal amount of the series may declare the entire principal amount (or, if they are Original Issue Discount Securities (as defined in the Indenture), the portion of the principal amount as specified in the terms of such series) of all of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. If this happens, subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the debt securities of that series can void the declaration. (Section 5.02)

The Indenture provides that within 90 days after default under a series of debt securities, the Trustee will give the holders of that series notice of all uncured defaults known to it. (The term "default" includes the events specified above without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice.) The Trustee may withhold notice of any default (except a default in the payment of principal, interest or any premium) if it believes that it is in the interest of the holders. (Section 6.01)

Annually, we must send to the Trustee a certificate describing any existing defaults under the Indenture. (Section 10.06)

Other than its duties in case of a default, the Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order, or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the Trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability. (Section 6.02) If they provide this reasonable indemnification, the holders of a majority of the total principal amount of any series of debt securities may direct the Trustee how to act under the Indenture. (Section 5.12)

#### Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, we will have two options to discharge our obligations under a series of debt securities before their maturity date. These options are known as "defeasance" and "covenant defeasance". Defeasance means that we will be deemed to have paid the entire amount of the applicable series of debt securities and we will be released from all of our obligations relating to that series (except for certain obligations, such as registering transfers of the securities). Covenant defeasance means that as to the applicable series of debt securities we will not have to comply with the covenants described above under Limitation on Liens, Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks and Merger and Consolidation. In addition, if the prospectus supplement states that any additional covenants relating to that series of debt securities are subject to the covenant defeasance provision in the Indenture, then we also would not have to comply with those covenants. (Sections 14.01, 14.02, and 14.03)

To elect either defeasance or covenant defeasance for any series of debt securities, we must deposit with the Trustee an amount of money and/or U.S. government obligations that will be sufficient to pay principal, interest, and any premium or sinking fund payments on the debt securities when those amounts are scheduled to be paid. In addition, we must provide a legal opinion stating that as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance you will not be required to recognize income, gain, or loss for federal income tax purposes and you will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, and at the same times as if the defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

For defeasance, that opinion must be based on either an Internal Revenue Service ruling or a change in law since the date the debt securities were issued. We must also meet other conditions, such as there being no Events of Default. The amount deposited with the Trustee can be decreased at a later date if in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants the deposits are greater than the amount then needed to pay principal, interest, and any premium or sinking fund payments on the debt securities when those amounts are scheduled to be paid. (Sections 14.04 and 14.05)

Our obligations relating to the debt securities will be reinstated if the Trustee is unable to pay the debt securities with the deposits held in trust, due to an order of any court or governmental authority. (Section 14.06) It is possible that a series of debt securities for which we elect covenant defeasance may later be declared immediately due in full because of an Event of Default (not relating to the covenants that were defeased). If that happens, we must pay the debt securities in full at that time, using the deposits held in trust or other money. (Section 14.03)

#### Modification of the Indenture
With certain exceptions, our rights and obligations and your rights under a particular series of debt securities may be modified with the consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the total principal amount of those debt securities. No modification of the principal or interest payment terms, and no modification reducing the percentage required for modifications, will be effective against you without your consent. (Section 9.02)

#### Subordination
The extent to which a particular series of subordinated debt securities is subordinated to our Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for that series and the Indenture may be modified by a supplemental indenture to reflect such subordination provisions. The particular terms of subordination of an issue of subordinated debt securities may supersede the general provisions of the Indenture summarized below.

The Indenture provides that any subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our Senior Indebtedness. This means that in the event we become subject to any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, or similar proceeding or we voluntarily liquidate, dissolve, or otherwise wind up our affairs, then the holders of all Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to be paid in full, before the holders of any subordinated debt securities are paid. In addition, (a) if we default in the payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default exists and all grace periods with respect thereto have expired under any Senior indebtedness, then, so long as any such default continues, no payment can be made on the subordinated debt securities; and (b) if any series of subordinated debt securities are declared due and payable before their stated maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture (other than because of our insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, or the like), then no payment on the subordinated debt securities can be made unless holders of the Senior Indebtedness are paid in full.

The term "Senior Indebtedness" means (a) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of our indebtedness, whether presently outstanding or later created, (i) for money we borrow, (ii) constituting obligations of others that we either assume or guarantee, (iii) in respect of letters of credit and acceptances issued or made by banks, or (iv) constituting purchase money indebtedness, which means indebtedness, the proceeds of which we use to acquire property or which we issue as all or part of our payment for such property, (b) all deferrals, renewals, extensions, and refundings of, and amendments, modifications, and supplements to, any such indebtedness, and (c) all of our other general unsecured obligations and liabilities, including trade payables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Indebtedness does not include any of our indebtedness that by its terms is subordinate in right of payment to or of equal rank with the subordinated debt securities.

#### Global Securities
Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities of a series will be issued in the form of one or more global certificates that will be deposited with The Depository Trust Company,

------

New York, New York ("DTC"), which will act as depositary for the global certificates. Beneficial interests in global certificates will be shown on, and transfers of global certificates will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants. Therefore, if you wish to own debt securities that are represented by one or more global certificates, you can do so only indirectly or "beneficially" through an account with a broker, bank, or other financial institution that has an account with DTC (that is, a DTC participant) or through an account directly with DTC if you are a DTC participant.

While the debt securities are represented by one or more global certificates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You will not be able to have the debt securities registered in your name.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You will not be able to receive a physical certificate for the debt securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the Trustee and any of our agents, under the debt securities will run only to DTC as the registered owner of the debt securities. For example, once we make payment to DTC, we will have no further responsibility for the payment even if DTC or your broker, bank, or other financial institution fails to pass it on so that you receive it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Your rights under the debt securities relating to payments, transfers, exchanges, and other matters will be governed by applicable law and by the contractual arrangements between you and your broker, bank, or other financial institution, and/or the contractual arrangements you or your broker, bank, or financial institution has with DTC. Neither we nor the Trustee has any responsibility for the actions of DTC or your broker, bank, or financial institution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You may not be able to sell your interests in the debt securities to some insurance companies and others who are required by law to own their debt securities in the form of physical certificates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Because the debt securities will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, when you buy or sell interests in the debt securities, payment for them will have to be made in immediately available funds. This could affect the attractiveness of the debt securities to others.

A global certificate generally can be transferred only as a whole, unless it is being transferred to certain nominees of the depositary or it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in physical form. (Section 2.05) If a global certificate is exchanged for debt securities in physical form, they will be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, or another denomination stated in the prospectus supplement.

#### DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
This section contains a description of our capital stock. This description includes not only our common stock, but also our Class B stock and preferred stock, certain terms of which affect the common stock, and the preferred share purchase rights, one of which is attached to each share of our common stock. The following summary of the terms of our capital stock is not meant to be complete and is qualified by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation and the preferred share rights plan. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 6,000,000,000 shares of common stock, 530,117,376 shares of Class B stock, and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding 3,915,319,622 shares of common stock and 70,852,076 shares of Class B stock.

#### Common Stock and Class B Stock
***Rights to Dividends and on Liquidation.*** Each share of common stock and Class B stock is entitled to share equally in dividends (other than dividends declared with respect to any outstanding preferred stock) when and as declared by our board of directors, except as stated below under the subheading "Stock Dividends."

Upon liquidation, subject to the rights of any other class or series of stock having a preference on liquidation, each share of common stock will be entitled to the first $.50 available for distribution to common and Class B stockholders, each share of Class B stock will be entitled to the next $1.00 so available, each share of common stock will be entitled to the next $.50 available, and each share of common and Class B stock will be entitled to an equal amount after that. Any outstanding preferred stock would rank senior to the common stock and Class B Stock in respect of liquidation rights and could rank senior to that stock in respect of dividend rights.

***Voting — General.*** All general voting power is vested in the holders of common stock and the holders of Class B stock, voting together without regard to class, except as stated below in the subheading "Voting by Class." The voting power of the shares of stock is determined as described below. However, we could in the future create series of preferred stock with voting rights equal to or greater than our common stock or Class B stock.

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share, and each holder of Class B stock is entitled to a number of votes per share derived by a formula contained in our restated certificate of incorporation. As long as at least 60,749,880 shares of Class B stock remain outstanding, the formula will result in holders of Class B stock having 40% of the general voting power and holders of common stock and, if issued, any preferred stock with voting power having 60% of the general voting power.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class B stock falls below 60,749,880, but remains at least 33,749,932, then the formula will result in the general voting power of holders of Class B stock declining to 30% and the general voting power of holders of common stock and, if issued, any preferred stock with voting power increasing to 70%.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class B stock falls below 33,749,932, then each holder of Class B stock will be entitled to only one vote per share.

Based on the number of shares of Class B stock and common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022, each holder of Class B stock would be entitled to 36.84 votes per share. Of the outstanding Class B stock as of December 31, 2022, 70,778,212 shares were held in a voting trust. The trust requires the trustee to vote all the shares in the trust as directed by holders of a plurality of the shares in the trust.

***Right of Preferred Stock to Elect a Maximum of Two Directors in Event of Default.*** It would be customary for any preferred stock that we may issue to provide that if at any time we are delinquent in the payment of six or more quarters' worth of dividends (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the preferred stock, voting as a class, would be entitled to elect two directors (who would be in addition

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

to the directors elected by the stockholders generally). These voting rights are required to be provided if the preferred stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and are provided for in our Series B preferred stock.

***Non-Cumulative Voting Rights.*** Our common stock and Class B stock, as well as any preferred stock with voting power we may issue, do not and will not have cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders who have more than 50% of the votes for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so.

***Voting by Class.*** If we want to take any of the following actions, we must obtain the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B stock, voting as a class:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • issue any additional shares of Class B stock (with certain exceptions);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reduce the number of outstanding shares of Class B stock other than by holders of Class B stock converting Class B stock into common stock or selling it to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • change the capital stock provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • merge or consolidate with or into another corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • dispose of all or substantially all of our property and assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • transfer any assets to another corporation and in connection therewith distribute stock or other securities of that corporation to our stockholders; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • voluntarily liquidate or dissolve.

***Voting Provisions of Delaware Law.*** In addition to the votes described above, any special requirements of Delaware law must be met. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions on the votes required to amend certificates of incorporation, merge or consolidate, sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all assets, and voluntarily dissolve.

***Ownership and Conversion of Class B Stock.*** In general, only members of the Ford family or their descendants or trusts or corporations in which they have specified interests can own or be registered as record holders of shares of Class B stock, or can enjoy for their own benefit the special rights and powers of Class B stock. A holder of shares of Class B stock can convert those shares into an equal number of shares of common stock for the purpose of selling or disposing of those shares. Shares of Class B stock acquired by the Company or converted into common stock cannot be reissued by the Company.

***Preemptive and Other Subscription Rights.*** Holders of common stock do not have any right to purchase additional shares of common stock if we sell shares to others. If, however, we sell Class B stock or obligations or shares convertible into Class B stock (subject to the limits on who can own Class B stock described above), then holders of Class B stock will have a right to purchase, on a ratable basis and at a price just as favorable, additional shares of Class B stock or those obligations or shares convertible into Class B stock.

In addition, if shares of common stock (or shares or obligations convertible into such stock) are offered to holders of common stock, then we must offer to the holders of Class B stock shares of Class B stock (or shares or obligations convertible into such stock), on a ratable basis, and at the same price per share.

***Stock Dividends.*** If we declare and pay a dividend in our stock, we must pay it in shares of common stock to holders of common stock and in shares of Class B stock to holders of Class B stock.

***Ultimate Rights of Holders of Class B Stock.*** If and when the number of outstanding shares of Class B stock falls below 33,749,932, the Class B stock will become freely transferable and will become substantially equivalent to common stock. At that time, holders of Class B stock will have one vote for each share held, will have no special class vote, will be offered common stock if common stock is offered to holders of common stock, will receive common stock if a stock dividend is declared, and will have

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the right to convert such shares into an equal number of shares of common stock irrespective of the purpose of conversion.

***Miscellaneous; Dilution.*** If we increase the number of outstanding shares of Class B stock (by, for example, doing a stock split or stock dividend), or if we consolidate or combine all outstanding shares of Class B stock so that the number of outstanding shares is reduced, then the threshold numbers of outstanding Class B stock (that is, 60,749,880 and 33,749,932) that trigger voting power changes will automatically adjust by a proportionate amount.

#### Preferred Stock
We may issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, without stockholder approval. Subject to limitations prescribed by law, our board of directors is authorized to fix for any series of preferred stock the number of shares of such series and the designation, relative powers, preferences, and rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of such series.

For any series of preferred stock that we may issue, our board of directors will determine and the prospectus supplement relating to such series will describe:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The designation and number of shares of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The rate and time at which, and the preferences and conditions under which, any dividends will be paid on shares of such series, as well as whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative and participating or non-participating;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any provisions relating to convertibility or exchangeability of the shares of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The rights and preferences, if any, of holders of shares of such series upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The voting powers, if any, of the holders of shares of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any provisions relating to the redemption of the shares of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions on, or acquire or redeem, other securities while shares of such series are outstanding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any conditions or restrictions on our ability to issue additional shares of such series or other securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Any other relative power, preferences and participating, optional or special rights of shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof.

All shares of preferred stock that we may issue will be identical and of equal rank except as to the particular terms thereof that may be fixed by our board of directors, and all shares of each series of preferred stock will be identical and of equal rank except as to the dates from which cumulative dividends, if any, thereon will be cumulative.

As described below, we have authorized a series of preferred stock in connection with our rights plan. See "Preferred Share Purchase Rights".

#### Preferred Share Purchase Rights
On September 11, 2009, we entered into a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, which Tax Benefit Preservation Plan was amended on September 9, 2021 (as amended, the "Plan") with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, and our Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (the "Rights") for each outstanding share of common stock, and each outstanding share of Class B stock under the terms of the Plan. Each share of common stock we issue will be accompanied by a Right. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share at a purchase price of $35.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Plan.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Until the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the tenth business day following the public announcement that a person or group has become an "Acquiring Person" by acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (or the Board becoming aware of an Acquiring Person, as defined in the Plan) or (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day (or, except in certain circumstances, such later date as may be specified by the Board) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group (with certain exceptions) of 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date"), the Rights will be evidenced, with respect to common stock and Class B stock certificates outstanding as of the Record Date (or any book-entry shares in respect thereof), by such common stock or Class B stock certificate (or registration in book-entry form) together with the summary of rights ("Summary of Rights") describing the Plan and mailed to stockholders of record on the Record Date, and the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of common stock or Class B stock. Any person or group that beneficially owned 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock on September 11, 2009 are not deemed an Acquiring Person unless and until such person or group acquires beneficial ownership of additional shares of common stock representing one-half of one percent (0.5%) or more of the shares of common stock then outstanding. Under the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, exempt any person or group from being deemed an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Plan if the Board determines that such person's or group's ownership of common stock will not jeopardize or endanger our availability, or otherwise limit in any way the use of, our net operating losses, tax credits, and other tax assets (the "Tax Attributes").

The Plan provides that, until the Distribution Date (or earlier expiration or redemption of the Rights), the Rights will be attached to and will be transferred with and only with the common stock and Class B stock. Until the Distribution Date (or the earlier expiration or redemption of the Rights), new shares of common stock and Class B stock issued after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuances of common stock and Class B stock will contain a notation incorporating the Plan by reference (with respect to shares represented by certificates) or notice thereof will be provided in accordance with applicable law (with respect to uncertificated shares). Until the Distribution Date (or earlier expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any certificates representing shares of common stock and Class B stock outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of the Summary of Rights, or the transfer by book-entry of any uncertificated shares of common stock and Class B stock, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such shares. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the common stock and Class B stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire upon the earliest of the close of business on September 30, 2024 (unless that date is advanced or extended by the Board), the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged under the Plan, the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute if the Board determines that the Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of our Tax Attributes, or the beginning of our taxable year to which the Board determines that no Tax Attributes may be carried forward.

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights is subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Preferred Stock of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Stock at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Stock with a conversion price, less than the then-current market price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends payable in Preferred Stock) or of subscription rights or warrants.

The number of outstanding Rights is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend on the common stock and Class B stock payable in shares of common stock or Class B stock or subdivisions, consolidations, or combinations of the common stock occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Shares of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $10.00 per share, and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of the greater of (a) $1.00 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock and Class B stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

Because of the nature of the Preferred Stock's dividend, liquidation, and voting rights, the value of the one one-thousandth interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one share of common stock.

In the event that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereupon become null and void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of a Right (including payment of the Purchase Price) that number of shares of common stock having a market value of two times the Purchase Price.

At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person but prior to the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the voting power of the shares of common stock and Class B stock then outstanding, the Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such Acquiring Person, which will have become null and void), in whole or in part, for shares of common stock or Preferred Stock (or a series of our preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences, and privileges), at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock or Class B stock, or a fractional share of Preferred Stock (or other stock) equivalent in value thereto, per Right (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions).

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price. No fractional shares of Preferred Stock, common stock, or Class B stock will be issued (other than fractions of Preferred Stock which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, which may, at our election, be evidenced by depositary receipts), and in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be made based on the current market price of the Preferred Stock, the common stock, or Class B stock.

At any time prior to the time an Acquiring Person becomes such, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (the "Redemption Price") payable, at our option, in cash, shares of common stock, or such other form of consideration as the Board shall determine. The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis, and with such conditions as the Board in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

For so long as the Rights are then redeemable, we may, except with respect to the Redemption Price, amend the Plan in any manner. After the Rights are no longer redeemable, we may, except with respect to the Redemption Price, amend the Plan in any manner that does not adversely affect the interests of holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person).

Until a Right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as our stockholder, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

#### DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
We may elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock rather than full shares of preferred stock. In that event, we will issue to the public receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary shares will represent a fraction (to be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement) of a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company selected by us. The depositary will have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock underlying the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying that depositary share. Those rights may include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, and liquidation rights.

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under a deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, in accordance with the terms of the offering. The following description of the material terms of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts is only a summary and you should refer to the forms of the deposit agreement and depositary receipts that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific depositary shares.

Pending the preparation of definitive engraved depositary receipts, the depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the definitive depositary receipts but not in definitive form. These temporary depositary receipts entitle their holders to all the rights of definitive depositary receipts. Temporary depositary receipts will then be exchangeable for definitive depositary receipts at our expense.

***Dividends and Other Distributions.*** The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received with respect to the underlying stock to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by those holders.

If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares that are entitled to receive the distribution, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the applicable holders.

***Withdrawal of Underlying Preferred Stock.*** Unless we say otherwise in a prospectus supplement, holders may surrender depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary and, upon payment of any unpaid amount due to the depositary, be entitled to receive the number of whole shares of underlying preferred stock and all money and other property represented by the related depositary shares. We will not issue any partial shares of preferred stock. If the holder delivers depositary receipts evidencing a number of depositary shares that represent more than a whole number of shares of preferred stock, the depositary will issue a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares to that holder.

***Redemption of Depositary Shares.*** If a series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of that series of underlying stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to that series of underlying stock. Whenever we redeem shares of underlying stock that are held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the shares of underlying stock so redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or proportionately or other equitable method, as may be determined by the depositary.

***Voting.*** Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the underlying stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record holders of

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the depositary shares underlying the preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the underlying stock) will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of the underlying stock represented by that holder's depositary shares. The depositary will then try, as far as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying those depositary shares in accordance with those instructions, and we will agree to take all actions which may be deemed necessary by the depositary to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote the underlying shares to the extent it does not receive specific instructions with respect to the depositary shares representing the preferred stock.

***Conversion or Exchange of Preferred Stock.*** If the deposited preferred stock is convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, the following will apply. The depositary shares, as such, will not be convertible into or exchangeable for such other securities. Rather, any holder of the depositary shares may surrender the related depositary receipts, together with any amounts payable by the holder in connection with the conversion or the exchange, to the depositary with written instructions to cause conversion or exchange of the preferred stock represented by the depositary shares into or for such other securities. If only some of the depositary shares are to be converted or exchanged, a new depositary receipt or receipts will be issued for any depositary shares not to be converted or exchanged.

***Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement.*** The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may at any time be amended by agreement between us and the depositary. However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us upon not less than 60 days' notice whereupon the depositary shall deliver or make available to each holder of depositary shares, upon surrender of the depositary receipts held by such holder, the number of whole or fractional shares of preferred stock represented by such receipts. The deposit agreement will automatically terminate if (a) all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or converted into or exchanged for any other securities into or for which the underlying preferred stock is convertible or exchangeable or (b) there has been a final distribution of the underlying stock in connection with our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up and the underlying stock has been distributed to the holders of depositary receipts.

***Charges of Depositary.*** We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will also pay charges of the depositary in connection with its duties under the deposit agreement. Holders of depositary receipts will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and those other charges, including a fee for any permitted withdrawal of shares of underlying stock upon surrender of depositary receipts, as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

***Reports.*** The depositary will forward to holders of depositary receipts all reports and communications from us that we deliver to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the underlying stock.

***Limitation on Liability.*** Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing our respective obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our respective duties under the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or underlying stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by persons presenting underlying stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

In the event the depositary receives conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any holders of depositary shares, on the one hand, and us, on the other, the depositary will act on our claims, requests, or instructions.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

***Resignation and Removal of Depositary.*** The depositary may resign at any time by delivering notice to us of its election to resign. We may remove the depositary at any time. Any resignation or removal will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of the appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

#### DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
The following is a general description of the terms of the warrants we may issue from time to time. Particular terms of any warrants we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such warrants.

#### General
We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, or any combination thereof.

#### DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND STOCK PURCHASE UNITS
The following is a general description of the terms of the stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units we may issue from time to time. Particular terms of any stock purchase contracts and/or stock purchase units we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such stock purchase contracts and/or stock purchase units.

We may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to holders, a specified number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares at a future date. The consideration per share of common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares may be fixed at the time that the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. Any stock purchase contract may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of shares issuable pursuant to such stock purchase contract upon the occurrence of certain events.

The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units ("stock purchase units"), consisting of a stock purchase contract and debt securities, trust preferred securities, or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, in each case securing holders' obligations to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to holders of the stock purchase units, or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities to or through agents or underwriters or directly to one or more purchasers. Securities also may be sold by or through broker-dealers in connection with, or upon the termination or expiration of, equity derivative contracts between us or our affiliates and such broker-dealers or their affiliates.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

#### By Agents
We may use agents to sell the securities. The agents will agree to use their reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment.

#### By Underwriters
We may sell the securities to underwriters. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. Each underwriter will be obligated to purchase all the securities allocated to it under the underwriting agreement. The underwriters may change any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions they give to dealers.

#### Direct Sales
We may sell securities directly to you. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.

As one of the means of direct issuance of securities, we may utilize the services of any available electronic auction system to conduct an electronic "dutch auction" of the offered securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in the auction of those offered securities, if so described in the prospectus supplement.

#### General Information
Any underwriters or agents will be identified and their compensation described in a prospectus supplement.

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers, and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make.

Underwriters, dealers, and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses.

#### EXPERTS
The financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

#### Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Law") empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

In accordance with the Delaware Law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Ford contains a provision to limit the personal liability of the directors of Ford for violations of their fiduciary duty. This provision eliminates each director's liability to Ford or its stockholders for monetary damages except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to Ford or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence.

Pursuant to most of Ford's employee benefit plans, including, without limitation, its Deferred Compensation Plan, Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, Savings and Stock Investment Plan, long-term incentive plans and stock option plans, directors, officers and employees of Ford are indemnified against all loss, cost, liability or expense resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which such persons are involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under such plans.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Pursuant to underwriting agreements, forms of which have been filed as exhibits to registration statements relating to underwritten offerings of securities issued or guaranteed by Ford, the underwriters have agreed to indemnify Ford, each officer and director of Ford and each person, if any, who controls Ford within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under said Act.

Ford is insured for liabilities it may incur pursuant to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the indemnification of its directors, officers and employees. In addition, directors, officers and certain key employees are insured against certain losses which may arise out of their employment and which are not recoverable under the indemnification provisions of Ford's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

#### Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (A) Paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and (B) Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1, Form S-3, Form SF3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (C) Provided, further, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is for an offering of asset-backed securities on Form SF-1 or Form SF-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment is provided pursuant to Item 1100(c) of Regulation AB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) If the registration is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statement relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.) (the "Registration Statement") in respect of the Securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

The various parts of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits thereto, but excluding Form T-1, and, if applicable, including information ("Rule 430A Information"), if any, deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), each as amended at the time such part became effective; any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Act is referred to as the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement" and after such filing the term "Registration Statement" shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement.

Any reference herein to the term "Preliminary Prospectus" shall be deemed to refer to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective together with any prospectus or supplement relating to a particular series of Designated Securities filed thereafter with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act that is or is deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement and that omits any Rule 430B Information (as defined below).

Any reference herein to the term "Statutory Prospectus" shall be deemed to refer to the Preliminary Prospectus relating to a particular series of Designated Securities that is or is deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Time of Sale (as defined below) (including the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective).

Any information included in the Final Prospectus that was omitted from the Registration Statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Rule 430B Information."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom will act as representative (the "Representative"). The term "Representative" also refers to when it alone constitutes the Underwriters. This Underwriting Agreement shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the Securities and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall state the aggregate principal amount or the aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the principal amount or the aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter, whether any of such Designated Securities shall be covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts (as defined in Section 3 hereof) and the commission payable to the Underwriters with respect thereto, and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package (defined below) with respect thereto and the Indenture) the terms of such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile transmissions. Each Pricing Agreement shall be deemed to be an agreement by the Company and the Underwriters to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Underwriters is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of any Designated Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any of the other Underwriters is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Representative or such Underwriter has advised or is advising the Company on other matters). The Underwriters advise that the Underwriters and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities and financial services and that they or their affiliates may enter into contractual relationships with purchasers or potential purchasers of the Company's securities and that some of these services or relationships may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and need not be disclosed to the Company, unless otherwise required by law. The Company has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or any other person with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission in the form heretofore delivered to the Representative, and such registration statement in such form has been declared effective by the Commission; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Other than any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, and any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Act or Rule 134 under the Act, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any "written communication" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any Designated Securities required to be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives being referred to herein as a "Issuer Free Writing Prospectus") without the Underwriters' consent, other than a final term sheet reflecting the final terms of the Designated Securities which is attached as Exhibit A to the Pricing Agreement (the "Final Term Sheet") and other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Representative (being referred to herein as a "Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) (i) At the respective times the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act and at the Time of Delivery, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations under the Act; (ii) the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus complied when filed with the Commission in all material respects with the rules and regulations under the Act; (iii) the documents incorporated by reference in the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference, when they are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and (iv) each Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the Act and has been filed or will be filed in accordance with the Act (to the extent required thereby);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) (i) At the respective times the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) as of the time when sales of the Designated Securities were first made (the "Time of Sale"), the Statutory Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and any other Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, considered together (collectively, the "General Disclosure Package") did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) as of its date and at the Time of Delivery, the Final Prospectus did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; <u>provided, however,</u> that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representative expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or in the Final Prospectus relating to such Designated Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Designated Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representative, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus; the electronic roadshow, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) When the Registration Statement became effective the Indenture was, and at all times thereafter the Indenture has been and will be, duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and when the Registration Statement became effective the Indenture conformed, and at all times thereafter the Indenture has conformed and will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and authority, and has all licenses, permits, orders and other governmental and regulatory approvals, to own or lease its properties and conduct its business in the jurisdictions in which such business is transacted as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus with only such exceptions as are not material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Company; upon execution and delivery of each Pricing Agreement by the Company, such Pricing Agreement shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and, when executed and delivered by the Representative, will be a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company in accordance with its terms; on the date of each Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities covered thereby, such Designated Securities shall be duly authorized, and, with respect to debt securities, if any, when such Designated Securities are authenticated as contemplated by the Indenture and issued and delivered in accordance with this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities and, in the case of any Contract Securities, pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts applicable to such Contract Securities, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, which will be substantially in the form included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and the Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company, and, as executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument of the Company in accordance with its terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In the event that any of the Securities are purchased pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts, each of such Delayed Delivery Contracts has been duly authorized by the Company and, when executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the purchaser thereunder, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company in accordance with its terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) There is no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any regulatory authority or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company which is required for, and the absence of which would materially affect, the issue and sale of any Designated Securities as contemplated by this Agreement or, in the case of any Contract Securities, Delayed Delivery Contracts with respect to such Contract Securities, or the execution, delivery or performance of the Indenture, except the registration under the Act of the Securities, the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under the securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the public offering of the Securities by the Underwriters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who have certified certain of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, is, to the best knowledge of the Company, an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company as required by the Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) (A) (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), and (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Act, the Company was not an "ineligible issuer" as defined in Rule 405 of the Act; and (B) at the time of filing Registration Statement No. 333- , at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a *bona fide* offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Act) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an "ineligible issuer" as defined in Rule 405 under the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Upon the execution of the Pricing Agreement applicable to any Designated Securities and authorization by the Representative of the release of the Underwriters' Securities, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Underwriters' Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and, in connection with such offer or the sale of such Designated Securities, will use the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, together with any amendment or supplement thereto, that specifically describes such Designated Securities, in the form which has been most recently distributed to them by the Company, only as permitted or contemplated thereby, and will offer and sell such Designated Securities only as permitted by the Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Representative will use its best efforts to inform the Company when it has authorized the sale of the Underwriters' Securities to the public and when it has been advised that such Underwriters' Securities have been sold by the several Underwriters within a reasonable period of time after such sales are completed.

The Company may specify in Schedule II to the Pricing Agreement applicable to any Designated Securities that the Underwriters are authorized to solicit offers to purchase Designated Securities from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts (herein called "Delayed Delivery Contracts"), substantially in the form of Annex III attached hereto but with such changes therein as the Representative and the Company may authorize or approve. If so specified, the Underwriters will endeavor to make such arrangements, and as compensation therefor the Company will pay to the Representative, for the accounts of the Underwriters, at the Time of Delivery (as defined in Section 4 hereof), such commission, if any, as may be set forth in such Pricing Agreement. Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, shall be with institutional investors of the types described in the Final Prospectus and subject to other conditions therein set forth. The Company will enter into a Delayed Delivery Contract in each case where the Underwriters have arranged for such a contract and the Company has advised the Representative of its approval of the proposed sale of Contract Securities to the purchaser thereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that the minimum principal amount of Contract Securities covered by any Delayed Delivery Contract (or the aggregate amount under Delayed Delivery Contracts with related purchasers) shall be $1,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of all Contract Securities shall not exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount specified in Schedule II to the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein, unless the Company shall otherwise agree in writing. However, if the aggregate principal amount of Contract Securities requested for delayed delivery is less than the minimum aggregate principal amount specified in such Schedule II, the Company will have the right to reject all requests. Each Underwriter to whom Contract Securities have been attributed will make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by the purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Delayed Delivery Contract covering such Contract Securities, but no Underwriter will have any liability in respect of the validity or performance of any Delayed Delivery Contract.

The Company will notify the Representative not later than 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding the Time of Delivery specified in the applicable Pricing Agreement (or such other time and date as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing), such notice to be confirmed in writing prior to such Time of Delivery, of the principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Contract Securities, and the name of, and principal amount or number of shares thereof to be purchased by, each purchaser. The principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Contract Securities to be deducted from the Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule I to the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities shall be, in each case, the principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Contract Securities of which the Company has been advised in writing prior to the time of Delivery by the Representative as having been attributed to such Underwriter, provided that, if the Company has not been so advised, the amount of Contract Securities to be so deducted shall be, in each case, that proportion of Contract Securities which the principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Designated Securities to be purchased by such Underwriter under such Pricing Agreement bears to the total principal amount of the Designated Securities (rounded, as the Representative may determine, to the nearest $1,000 principal amount or whole share) and that, subject to Section 8 hereof, the total principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Underwriters' Securities to be purchased by all of the Underwriters pursuant to such Pricing Agreement shall be the total principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Designated Securities set forth in Schedule I to such Pricing Agreement less the principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of the Contract Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Underwriters' Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant to the Pricing Agreement relating thereto shall be delivered (to the extent practicable) in the form of one or more global securities, or if so specified in such Pricing Agreement in definitive form, by the Company to the Representative, for the account of such Underwriter, against payment of the purchase price therefor by such Underwriter or on its behalf, by wire or internal bank transfer to an account specified by the Company, in the funds specified in such Pricing Agreement, all at the place and time and date specified in such Pricing Agreement or at such other place and time and date as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing, such time and date being herein called the "Time of Delivery" for such Securities. If any Underwriters' Securities are to be delivered in definitive form, the Underwriters' Securities so delivered shall be in such authorized denominations and shall be registered in such name or names as the Representative shall request in writing at least 36 hours prior to the Time of Delivery. For the purpose of expediting the checking of such Securities by the Representative, the Company agrees to make such Securities available to the Representative not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day next preceding the Time of Delivery at the offices of the Representative designated in Section 11 hereof. If any Underwriters' Securities are to be delivered in global form, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Underwriters' Securities as delivered shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (the "Depository") and registered in the name of the Depository's nominee.

Concurrently with the delivery of and payment for the Underwriters' Securities, the Company will pay to the Representative for the accounts of the Underwriters by wire or internal bank transfer to an account specified by the Representative (or by such other method of payment as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing), in the amount of any compensation payable by the Company to the Underwriters in respect of any Delayed Delivery Contracts as provided in Section 3 hereof and in the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities, or such amount may be deducted from the amounts delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. The Company agrees with each of the Underwriters of any Designated Securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To make no amendment or any supplement to the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities and prior to the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities prior to having furnished the Representative with a copy of the proposed form thereof and given the Representative a reasonable opportunity to review the same; to file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Final Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required by law in connection with the offering or sale of such Designated Securities, and during such same period to advise the Representative, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or become effective or any supplement to the Final Prospectus or any amended Final Prospectus has been filed or electronically transmitted for filing, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, of the suspension of the qualification of such Designated Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to such Designated Securities or suspending any such qualification, to use promptly its best efforts to obtain its withdrawal;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Promptly from time to time to take such action as the Representative may reasonably request in order to qualify such Designated Securities for offering and sale under the securities laws of such states as the Representative may request and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as necessary under such laws for the distribution of such Designated Securities, provided that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business, or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, and provided further that the expense of maintaining any such qualification more than one year from the date of the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities shall be at the expense of the Underwriters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Registration Statement (excluding exhibits) and copies of the Final Prospectus in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request; and if, before a period of six months shall have elapsed after the date of the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities and the delivery of a prospectus shall be at the time required by law in connection with sales of any such Designated Securities or would be required but for Rule 172 under the Act, either (i) any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Final Prospectus would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference into the Final Prospectus in order to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, to notify the Representative and upon its request to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer participating in the distribution of such Designated Securities as many copies as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request of an amendment or a supplement to the Final Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and in case any Underwriter is required by law to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of any of such Designated Securities or would be required but for Rule 172 under the Act at any time six months or more after the date of such Pricing Agreement, upon the request of the Representative, but at the expense of such Underwriter, to prepare and deliver to such Underwriter as many copies as the Representative may request of an amended or supplemented prospectus complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than eighteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such date is defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act), an earnings statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries complying with Rule 158 under the Act and covering a period of at least twelve consecutive months beginning after such effective date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) During a period of five years from the date of the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities, to furnish to the Representative copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to security holders, and to deliver to the Representative, during such same period, (i) as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange on which any of the Securities or any class of securities of the Company is listed, and (ii) such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request (such financial statements to be on a consolidated basis to the extent that the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in reports furnished to its security holders generally or to the Commission);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) To pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including the cost of all qualifications of such Designated Securities under state securities laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters in connection with such qualifications and with legal investment surveys), any fees of rating agencies with respect to the Securities and the cost of printing this Agreement, each Pricing Agreement and any Delayed Delivery Contracts (it being understood that, except as provided in this subsection (f) and in Section 10 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the cost of printing any Agreement among Underwriters, the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of such Designated Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers that they may make);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) To comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any "issuer free writing prospectus," as defined in such rule, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If any time prior to the Time of Delivery (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the General Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with law, to immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph 5(a) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and to furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements to the General Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in the General Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or so that the General Disclosure Package will comply with law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Except for the final term sheet, a form of which is attached to the Pricing Agreement as Exhibit A thereto, each Underwriter severally agrees and covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Act, a free writing prospectus or Company information prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of such Underwriter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. The obligations of the Underwriters of any Designated Securities under the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities shall be subject, in the discretion of the Representative, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, true and correct, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, in all material respects, and the following additional conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Company counsel, which may be internal counsel, satisfactory to the Representative, in its reasonable judgment, shall have furnished to the Underwriters a written opinion and negative assurance letter, dated the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, in form satisfactory to the Representative in its reasonable judgment, to the effect of Exhibit A-1 and A-2 hereto, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, shall have furnished to the Representative its written opinion, dated the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, in form satisfactory to the Representative in its reasonable judgment, to the effect of Exhibit B-1 and B-2 hereto, respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) (A) At the time of execution of the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Representative shall have received a letter dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative in its reasonable judgment, from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the General Disclosure Package; and (B) at the Time of Delivery, the Representative shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a letter, dated as of the Time of Delivery, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (A) of this paragraph (d), except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days prior to the Time of Delivery, and such letter shall contain statements and information with respect to certain financial information contained in the Final Prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there shall not have occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting particularly the business or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or any material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, which in any such case makes it impracticable or inadvisable in the reasonable judgment of the Representative to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Since the time of execution of the Pricing Agreement applicable to the Designated Securities, the United States shall not have become engaged in hostilities which have resulted in the declaration of a national emergency or a declaration of war, which makes it impracticable or inadvisable in the reasonable judgment of the Representative to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Final Prospectus; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representative, at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, certificates in form satisfactory to the Representative in its reasonable judgment to the effect that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of such Time of Delivery as though made at and as of such Time of Delivery;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Company has duly performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at or prior to such Time of Delivery;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission, the Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus have been timely filed with the Commission under the Act (in the case of a Specified Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act), and all requests for additional information on the part of the Commission have been complied with or otherwise satisfied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) At the Time of Sale (which may be assumed to be the date of the Pricing Agreement) relating to the Designated Securities, the Registration Statement did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) At the Time of Sale (which may be assumed to be the date of the Pricing Agreement) relating to the Designated Securities and at the Time of Delivery, each of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

<u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that no such certificate shall apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein.

In the case of debt securities, the obligations of the Company and the Underwriters of any Designated Securities under the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Designated Securities are subject to the additional condition that there shall have been furnished to the Company and such Underwriters, at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, such certificates of officers as shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative and the Company, be appropriate to indicate that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter of the applicable Designated Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject with respect to such Designated Securities, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including without limitation the Rule 430B Information, the General Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Designated Securities, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; <u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representative expressly for use therein.

The indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Underwriter of the applicable Designated Securities will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject with respect to such Designated Securities, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including without limitation the Rule 430B Information, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to such Designated Securities, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

The indemnity agreement in this subsection (b) shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, and in the event that such indemnified party shall not so notify the indemnifying party within 30 days following receipt of any such notice by such indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall have no further liability under such subsection to such indemnified party unless such indemnifying party shall have received other notice addressed and delivered in the manner provided in the second paragraph of Section 11 hereof of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its reasonable judgment, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus with respect to such Designated Securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement applicable to such Securities, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or other parties to purchase such Underwriters' Securities on the terms contained herein. If within 36 hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Underwriters' Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure another party or other parties to purchase such Underwriters' Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representative notifies the Company that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Underwriters' Securities, or the Company notifies the Representative that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Underwriters' Securities, the Representative or the Company, respectively, shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Underwriters' Securities for a period of not more than seven days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, or any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus which in the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and counsel for the Company referred to in Section 6(b) hereof may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if it had originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities. In the event that neither the Representative nor the Company arrange for another party or parties to purchase such Underwriters' Securities as provided in this Section, the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase and pay for the Underwriters' Securities which such non-defaulting Underwriter agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities and, in addition, to require each such non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall have so failed to purchase up to an amount thereof equal to 10% of the principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of the Underwriters' Securities which such non-defaulting Underwriter has otherwise agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities; <u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that if the aggregate principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of Underwriters' Securities which any such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall have so failed to purchase is more than one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount or aggregate number of shares, as the case may be, of the Designated Securities, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities may be terminated either by the Company or, through the Representative, by such Underwriters as have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 50% or more of the remaining Designated Securities under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses referred to in Section 5(f) hereof and the indemnification provided in Section 7 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Underwriters and the Company hereunder, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of its officers or directors or any controlling person, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or if any Designated Securities are not delivered by the Company because the condition set forth either in the last paragraph of Section 6 or in Section 6(g) has not been met, then the Company shall be under no liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement except as provided in Section 5(f) and Section 7 hereof; but if for any other reason any Designated Securities are not delivered by the Company as provided herein, the Company will be liable to reimburse the Underwriters, through the Representative, for all out-of-pocket expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, as approved in writing by the Representative, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company shall then have no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Section 5(f) and Section 7 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. In all dealings with the Company under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement, the Representative shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representative.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, or by telegram if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to the Representative or the Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the Representative, and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the Company at One American Road, Dearborn, Michigan 48126, attention of the Secretary; <u>provided</u>, <u>however,</u> that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by registered mail directly to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by the Representative upon request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters and the Company, and to the extent provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and any person who controls any Underwriter or the Company, and their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Designated Securities from any Underwriter shall be construed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 13. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by each of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, and by each of the parties hereto and thereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this letter and your acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement.

Re: Registration of Securities

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on or about February 10, 2023, by Ford Motor Company, (the "Company"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance and sale from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the following securities in one or more series: (i) debt securities of the Company ("Debt Securities"), consisting of debentures, notes and/or other unsecured evidences of indebtedness, which may be unsubordinated or subordinated to certain other obligations of the Company; (ii) preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company ("Preferred Stock"); (iii) depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a share of Preferred Stock ("Depositary Shares"), to be evidenced by depositary receipts (the "Depositary Receipts") issued pursuant to a Deposit Agreement among the Company, a bank or trust company selected by the Company to act as a depositary (the "Depositary") and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Receipts (the "Deposit Agreement"); (iv) common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"); (v) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Common Stock ("Warrants"); (vi) stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase shares of Common Stock , Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares at a future date or dates ("Purchase Contracts"); and (vi) units consisting of a Purchase Contract and Debt Securities, or debt obligations of third parties, in each case securing the holder's obligation under a Purchase Contract ("Units," and together with the Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares, Common Stock, Warrants, Trust Preferred Securities, Trust Guarantees and Purchase Contracts, "Securities").

As Managing Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company, I am familiar with the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws and with the affairs of the Company. I also have examined such other documents and instruments and have made such further investigation as I have deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) in the case of convertible Debt Securities, appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the issuance of the Securities into which such Debt Securities are convertible, (iii) the indenture between the Company and the Trustee pursuant to which the Debt Securities are to be issued (the "Indenture") has been qualified under the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), (iv) the form or forms of the Debt Securities and the final terms thereof have been duly approved or established by such corporate action and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and (v) the Debt Securities have been duly executed, authenticated, completed, issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with such corporate action, the Indenture and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Debt Securities will thereupon be legally issued and binding obligations of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock (iii) the forms of the Preferred Stock and any related Depositary Shares and the final terms thereof have been duly approved or established by such action (including the filing of the certificate of designations relating to the Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State), (iv) the Preferred Stock and any related Depositary Shares have been duly issued and sold against payment therefor in accordance with such corporate action and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and (v), with respect to such Depositary Shares only, the Depositary has duly executed the Depositary Receipts in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement (the Company having deposited the Preferred Stock with the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), the Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (provided that the consideration paid therefor is not less than the par value thereof), will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights, and will have the rights set forth in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as then amended, including the amendment effected by the Certificate of Designations relating to the Preferred Stock, and such Depositary Shares will represent legal and valid interests in the shares of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the issuance of Common Stock, (iii) Common Stock shall have been duly issued and sold by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with such corporate action and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, and (iv) if issued in physical form, certificates representing shares of Common Stock have been duly executed by the duly authorized officers of the Company in accordance with applicable law or, if issued in book entry form, an appropriate account statement evidencing shares of Common Stock credited to the purchaser's account maintained with the Company's transfer agent for Common Stock has been issued by said transfer agent, such Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (provided that the consideration paid therefor is not less than the par value thereof), will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights, and will have the rights set forth in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as then amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) the appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the form, terms, execution and delivery of the Warrants, as well as the Securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) Warrants with such terms are duly executed, attested, issued and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company against payment in the manner provided for in the warrant agreement pursuant to which the Warrants are to be issued and such corporate action, such Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) the appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the form, terms, execution and delivery of the Purchase Contracts, as well as the Securities that are to be purchased under the Purchase Contracts, and (iii) the Purchase Contracts with such terms are duly executed, attested, issued and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company against payment therefor in the manner provided for in the Purchase Contracts and such corporate action, such Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. When (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act have been complied with, (ii) the appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Company to authorize the form, terms, execution and delivery of the Units and (iii) the Units with such terms are duly executed, attested, issued and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company against payment therefor in the manner provided for in the agreement pursuant to which the Units are to be issued and such corporate action, such Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

My opinions expressed above are subject to the qualifications that I express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law or judicially developed doctrine in this area (such as substantive consolidation or equitable subordination) affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. I wish to point out that I am a member of the Bar of the State of Michigan. I have made, or caused to be made, such investigation as I have deemed appropriate with respect to the laws of other jurisdictions in connection with the opinions expressed herein, and nothing has come to my attention in the course of such investigation which would lead me to question the correctness of such opinions.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.
