12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
In the interest of protecting the reputation of the products of

end, Manufacturer agrees to secure and maintain records of the names
and addresses of the first retail purchasers of End Products.

13. LABELING
Manufacturer shall affix to all Vehicles such labels as Ford supplies
(if not already affixed) and maintain the labels in place, but such
labeling at Ford's instructions shall not constitute recertification
of the Vehicle by Manufacturer.

14. INDEMNIFICATION
Ford and Manufacturer recognize that the burden of defending against
product liability allegations, whether or not meritless or frivolous,
should be borne by the party whose alleged negligence, wrongdoing or
defective product is at issue, regardless of whether it is a party to
the particular litigation. The parties also recognize that, under
existing law, there are circumstances where a claimant may sue only
one party even though the defect, wrongdoing or negligence alleged is
the principal responsibility of the other party. The parties also
recognize that this results in the named defendant bearing more than
its fair share of the cost of the litigation. In order to avoid
possible controversy between the parties as to which shall defend such
litigation, or bear the cost of defending such litigation, including
the cost of settlements or verdicts, the parties agree as follows:
(a) Indemnification by Ford. With respect to any Vehicle supplied by
Ford to Manufacturer, Ford shall indemnify, hold harmless and protect
Manufacturer from any loss, damage or expense, including, without
limitation, settlements, judgments, expert fees and reasonable
attorney's fees, resulting from or related to lawsuits, complaints or
claims against Manufacturer for property damage or personal injury
where Manufacturer's liability, if any, arises solely because of a
defect in manufacture, assembly, materials or design for which Ford
alone is responsible.

(b) Ford's Duty to Defend. Manufacturer shall promptly notify Ford
of any lawsuit, complaint or claim which Manufacturer has reason to
believe may be covered by this indemnity provision. If the claimant's
sole allegation against Manufacturer is that Manufacturer is strictly
liable for a defect for which Ford alone is responsible, and if Ford's
investigation discloses no basis for Manufacturer's liability other
than the allegations in the lawsuit, complaint, or claim, Ford shall
assume Manufacturer's defense upon Manufacturer's request.
Manufacturer, and/or its product liability insurance carrier, shall

<PAGE>

cooperate fully in the defense of the action as Ford, and/or its
Product liability insurance carrier, may reasonably require. Ford
shall have the right to assume Manufacturer's defense at any time,
provided that Ford acknowledges Manufacturer's right to indemnity
under this provision.

(c) Indemnification by Manufacturer. With respect to any Vehicle
supplied by Ford to Manufacturer, Manufacturer shall indemnify, hold
harmless and protect Ford from any loss, damage or expense, including,
without limitation, settlements, judgments, expert fees, and
attorney's fees, resulting from or related to lawsuits, complaints or
claims against Ford for property damage or personal injury, where
Ford's liability, if any, arises solely from modifications or
additions made by Manufacturer or from processing of Vehicles by
Manufacturer. Liability on the part of Ford which arises, if at all,
because Ford knew or should have known that the processing,
modification or additions made by Manufacturer were negligent,
improper or defective, or that Ford expressly or impliedly approved
the modifications or additions made by Manufacturer, shall be deemed
to be liability which arises "solely from processing, modifications or
additions made by Manufacturer" within the meaning of this paragraph.
However, Manufacturer shall not be obligated to indemnify Ford if the
modifications or additions were made or the processing was conducted
pursuant to express written approval provided by Ford.

(d) Manufacturer's Duty to Defend. Ford shall promptly notify
Manufacturer of any lawsuit, complaint or claim which Ford has reason
to believe may be covered by this indemnity provision, If Ford's
alleged liability arises solely from modifications or additions made
by Manufacturer or processing conducted by Manufacturer not pursuant
to express written approval from Ford, and if Manufacturer's
investigation discloses no basis for Ford's liability other than the
allegations in the lawsuit, complaint, or claim, Manufacturer shall
assume Ford's defense upon Ford's request. Ford and/or its product
liability carrier shall cooperate fully in the defense of the action
as Manufacturer, or its product liability carrier, may reasonably
require. Manufacturer shall have the right to assume Ford's defense at
any time, provided that Manufacturer acknowledges Ford's right to
indemnity under this provision.

(e) Cross-Claims or Third party Complaints. Neither party shall file
cross-claims or third-party complaints against the other without
notifying the other in advance. Where practicable, the notice should
be given sufficiently in advance to allow thorough discussion of
alternatives to such filing.

(f) Contributions to Settlement. In the appropriate case the parties
shall, where settlement is or may be warranted, make a reasonable
effort to agree upon the amount each party shall contribute to
settlement, based upon the nature of the plaintiff's allegations. For
example, if the case involves an allegation that a Manufacturer's
component is defective, a reasonable allocation would require the
Manufacturer to contribute all or most of any settlement amount. If,
however, the allegation concerns a component supplied by Ford, a
reasonable allocation would require Ford to contribute all or most of
any settlement amount. It is recognized that there shall be cases of
multiple allegations with respect to each party and that allocation of
responsibility shall be dependent on the circumstances of the case.

<PAGE>

(g) Contributions to Adverse Judgment. If the case, for any reason,
does not settle, the parties shall, in advance of trial, make a
reasonable attempt to agree upon the extent to which each company
shall contribute to satisfy any adverse judgment or verdict that may
be returned, based upon the principles set forth in the preceding
paragraph. Based on these principles, the parties shall likewise
attempt to agree upon the extent to which each shall contribute to the
cost of defending the litigation, including attorney's fees.

(h) Unilateral Settlement; Notifying Other Party. In cases where
both parties are named defendants, neither party shall unilaterally
enter into a settlement agreement without giving reasonable notice to,
and consulting in advance with, the other party.

15. INSURANCE
(a) Manufacturer shall maintain at all times a minimum limit of $1
million per occurrence of Commercial General Liability insurance,
including products, completed operations and blanket contractual
liability (or contractual liability coverage specific to this
Agreement) with insurers rated at least A VI by A.M. Best Company.
Manufacturer shall arrange to provide Ford with a certificate of
insurance showing the coverage specified in this paragraph. The
insurance policies providing the foregoing coverage shall provide that
the insurance company issuing such policy shall give Ford at least 30
days prior written notice of any material alterations, including
substantial reduction of aggregate limits, if such limits apply, or
any change or cancellation.

(b) So long as Vehicles are located on the premises or facilities
operated by Manufacturer or its agents or assigns, Manufacturer, at
its sole cost and expense, shall keep such Vehicles fully insured
under an automobile liability insurance policy with coverage not less
than $1 million combined single limit per occurrence.

16, TAXES
	(a) Personal Property Taxes. Unless otherwise agreed by Ford,
Manufacturer shall report, bear, and pay all applicable personal
property taxes on Vehicles.
	(b) Excise Taxes. All Vehicles purchased from Ford without
collection by Ford of the retailer's tax imposed by Section 4051 of
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Excise Tax") are for resale by
Manufacturer to Ford. In the event of Manufacturer's taxable use or
taxable sale of a Vehicle, Manufacturer shall report and pay the
Excise Tax. If Manufacturer uses, modifies or disposes of a Vehicle in
a manner that subjects Ford to Excise Tax liability for that Vehicle,
Manufacturer shall indemnify Ford for that liability and reimburse
Ford all Excise Taxes paid by Ford.

17. WARRANTIES
(a) No warranty obligation of Ford for any Vehicle shall be more
extensive than Ford's warranty obligation for such Vehicle under
Ford's warranty to retail purchasers. Ford shall supply Manufacturer
with copies of these warranties. These warranties shall be the only
warranties made or deemed to have been made by Ford end, with respect
to Manufacturer, shall be expressly IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER

<PAGE>

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES; GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS OR
REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FORA PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH THE REMEDY SET FORTH THEREIN
AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY THEREUNDER.

(b) With each Vehicle delivered by Manufacturer to dealers, or
retail customers on dealers' behalf, Manufacturer shall deliver copies
of any applicable Ford warranty and an Owner's Guide, owner
registration card and such other consumer and operating material as
Ford generally provides with that model of vehicle.

(c) The warranty obligations of Ford (and any governmental
certification made by Ford) shall cover only the Vehicles as
manufactured by Ford and provided to Manufacturer, and shall not
extend to any addition, modification or change of or to the Vehicle by
Manufacturer. Ford's warranty shall not be deemed to be voided by
additions, modifications, or changes to the Vehicle unless such
addition, modification or change causes a failure to a Ford component.

18. VEHICLE INVENTORY FINANCING AND SECURITY
(a) Manufacturer shall provide to Ford a copy of the Vehicle
Financing Agreement between Manufacturer and its financing
institution, if other than Ford Motor Credit Company. Manufacturer
shall notify Ford in advance of any proposed changes in its financing
arrangements, and such changes are subject to review and approval by
Ford.
(b) Manufacturer shall maintain a separate, current account for all
Vehicles in its custody in accordance with the Manual.  Manufacturer
shall not store any Vehicles at any location not identified by address
on Exhibit A.  Ford shall have the right to examine Vehicles and
Manufacturer's records in respect thereof at any time during regular
business hours.
(c) Except for the purpose of financing Manufacturer's acquisition
of Vehicles hereunder, Manufacturer shall not grant any security
interest, lien or other interest in any part of a Vehicle without
Ford's prior approval and shall not permit any other person, including
any governmental entity, to acquire such an interest adverse to Ford.

19. DEMONSTRATORS
Manufacturer may modify Vehicles purchased from Ford for use as
demonstrators in such quantities as specifically authorized by Ford.
Demonstrators shall not be repurchased by Ford pursuant to Paragraph 9
hereof.  Ford shall send Manufacturer the COV for such Vehicle when it
notifies Ford that a Vehicle has been designated a demonstrator.
Manufacturer shall notify Ford immediately of the sale date, name and
address of the Ford Dealer to which it subsequently sells the
Demonstrator. In no case shall Manufacturer send the Demonstrator to
anyone other than a Ford Dealer. For those converted Vehicles of the
types typically sold at retail by dealers other than Ford Dealers,
such as ambulances, buses, and motor homes, Manufacturer shall not be
required to send the Demonstrator to a Ford Dealer, but must notify
Ford immediately of the sale date and name and address of the
purchaser.

any reason, with or without cause, by written notice to the other
party. Written notice of termination shall be delivered personally or
by certified mail, return receipt requested. Termination shall be
effective at the end of the thirtieth (30) calendar day after the day

undamaged, unmodified and unsold, except that if such Vehicles are not
current model year Vehicles, Ford may offer to repurchase such
Vehicles at prices, terms and conditions it deems commercially
reasonable and Manufacturer may either accept such offer or dispose of
such Vehicles to Ford dealers.

complied with all applicable bulk sale laws, along with a warranty
with respect thereto that such property is owned by Manufacturer free
and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances.

PERSON OR ENTITY BY DAIMLERCHRYSLER APPLICABLE TO VEHICLE(S)
HEREUNDER; EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, SUCH LIMITED WARRANTY IS
EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

b. MANUFACTURER will furnish to customers, distributors or
DAIMLERCHRYSLER Dealers purchasing its End Products, a copy of

c. DAIMLERCHRYSLER's certification and warranty obligations apply
only to the Vehicle(s) as furnished to Manufacturer, notwithstanding
any knowledge regarding the use or uses intended to be made of
Vehicle(s), proposed changes, modifications or additions to
Vehicle(s), or any assistance, representations or suggestions that may
have been made by DAIMLERCHRYSLER personnel; provided, however, that
modifications to Vehicle(s) made by MANUFACTURER shall not void any
Vehicle(s) warranty by DAIMLERCHRYSLER if MANUFACTURER can establish
that such modifications did not adversely affect the warrantable item
in question.

d. MANUFACTURER represents and agrees that any modifications or
additions that it makes to Vehicle(s) furnished hereunder will be free
from defects in design, material or workmanship, including but not
limited to such defects, changes or additions that would cause End
Product to fail to meet applicable safety, emissions, noise and other
standards and regulations prescribed by federal, state, or local
authorities. Further, MANUFACTURER acknowledges its responsibility as
a manufacturer insofar as it modifies any Vehicle(s) furnished
hereunder, and in such capacity it agrees to certify and warrant the
Vehicle(s) as required by law after such changes or modifications have
been made. MANUFACTURER agrees that its warranty on any conversion,
modification or addition shall equal or exceed that period of time
and/or mileage as DAIMLERCHRYSLER may warrant on Vehicle(s) delivered

by DAIMLERCHRYSLER's warranty.

c.(i) If a product liability lawsuit is filed naming MANUFACTURER

jurisdiction that the bodily injury or property damage alleged by the
plaintiff was caused solely by a design defect or defect created by
DAIMLERCHRYSLER in the manufacture or assembly of a Vehicle(s), part
or accessory, which defect was not reasonably susceptible of discovery
by MANUFACTURER upon its receipt or during the conversion or
modification process, then DAIMLERCHRYSLER will indemnify and hold

to indemnify MANUFACTURER will be rendered null and void and be of no
force or effect.

as a defendant, which suit concerns any Vehicle(s) sold by
DAIMLERCHRYSLER to MANUFACTURER, then MANUFACTURER will indemnify and
hold DAIMLERCHRYSLER harmless from any and all losses, damages and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or
resulting from a claim involving MANUFACTURER's negligent or defective
design, manufacture or assembly of a conversion, conversion part or
accessory, or manufacture or installation of a specialized body which
