corporation whose business office is located in Detroit, Michigan (hereinafter “GM)”,
and Supreme Corporation, located at Goshen, IN (hereinafter “Manufacturer”),
effective February 29, 2008.

 

WHEREAS, GM is engaged in
the business of assembling and marketing complete and incomplete motor
vehicles, including trucks, truck chassis and cars (hereinafter “Vehicles”);
and

 

WHEREAS, Manufacturer is
engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing special bodies and
equipment installed on or in Vehicles (Vehicles modified, completed or altered

which will be terminated and superseded by this Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, independent
authorized GM dealers (hereinafter “Dealers”) may acquire End Products from
Manufacturer; and

 

WHEREAS, GM and Manufacturer
desire that GM sell Vehicles to Manufacturer on a restricted basis to be made
into End Products by Manufacturer for resale to Dealers so as to facilitate the
business operations of GM, its Dealers, and Manufacturer, including the
accommodation of the parties’ production schedules to the extent feasible; and

 

WHEREAS, implementation of
this Agreement will require, among other things, the establishment and
maintenance of an arrangement between Manufacturer and a financial institution
to finance the purchase of and facilitate the payment for the Vehicles from GM;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance
on and in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained in
this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Article 1: Term
of Agreement

 

1.1                                  The term of this agreement shall be five (5) years

Manual in writing at any time. The Manual is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Agreement, and all of the provisions now or hereafter
contained in the Manual shall be deemed to be part and parcel of this Agreement.
Manufacturer shall follow the policies and procedures set forth in the Manual
in the performance of its obligations hereunder. In case there is a conflict
between provisions of the Manual and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.

 

Article 3: Vehicle
Orders; Prices; Financing

 

3.1                                  Manufacturer shall submit orders to GM for
Vehicles electronically, or in such other manner as may be specified by GM.
There are numerous factors which affect the availability of Vehicles. GM
reserves to itself absolute discretion in accepting orders and distributing
Vehicles, and its judgment in such matters shall be final. Manufacturer’s
orders for Vehicles are not binding on GM until accepted by GM, and may be canceled
by Manufacturer until that time. An order is accepted by GM when the Vehicle is
released to production. Manufacturer shall be responsible for ordering Vehicles
with emissions systems that comply with the emissions laws in the states in
which the End Products will be sold.

 

3.2                                  Prices and other terms of sale applicable to
Vehicles are those set forth in GMPricing.com. Such prices may be changed by GM
at any time. Except as otherwise provided by GM in writing, such changes will
apply to Vehicles not shipped at the time the changes are effective. Vehicles
ordered under this Agreement are not eligible for any price protection
allowance that otherwise may have been available on orders submitted directly
by a Dealer to GM.

 

3.3                                  Manufacturer shall establish and maintain a
financing arrangement between Manufacturer and a financial institution for the
purpose of financing the purchase of and facilitating the payment for the
Vehicles from GM. The financial institution must be satisfactory to GM.
Manufacturer shall provide to GM a copy of the Agreement between Manufacturer
and its financial institution. Manufacturer shall notify GM in advance of any
proposed changes in its financing arrangement for review and acceptance by GM.
Manufacturer and its financial institution shall furnish GM with a statement as
to the maximum number of Vehicles that will be financed by such financial
institution at any particular time. This maximum number of Vehicles is referred
to in this Agreement and the Manual as the “Credit Limit.” Failure of
Manufacturer to obtain or retain a Vehicle inventory financing arrangement in
an amount satisfactory to GM and with a financial institution acceptable to GM
will result in termination of this Agreement.

 

3.4                                  Except for the purpose of financing Manufacturer’s
acquisition of Vehicles hereunder, Manufacturer shall not grant, nor cause or
permit to arise, any security, lien, or other interest in any part of an End
Product (other than a special body or equipment installed thereon by
Manufacturer) without GM’s prior written approval. Manufacturer shall promptly
reimburse GM for any money paid by GM to discharge any such adverse lien or
interest, if it elects or is required to do so.

 

2

 

3.5                                  GM shall have the right, with or without
advance notice, to examine Vehicles and Manufacturer’s records in respect
thereof at any time during regular business hours.

 

Article 4: Handling of
Vehicles

 

4.1                                  Upon receipt of Vehicles, Manufacturer shall
inspect each Vehicle for damage or shortage and shall accept custody of, and
execute an appropriate receipt for, each Vehicle. Manufacturer agrees to
resolve any damage or warranty claims in accordance with the Manual.

 

4.2                                  Manufacturer shall keep and maintain each
Vehicle delivered to it in safe storage (including, as appropriate, in a
defined area enclosed by an adequate fence and protected to the extent
appropriate in that vicinity by security personnel). Manufacturer shall not
store any Vehicle at any location not identified by address on Exhibit A.
Manufacturer’s obligation is to ensure that Vehicles do not deteriorate from a
like new condition in appearance or quality during the period of Manufacturer’s
control.

 

4.3                                  Manufacturer shall have corrected all damage
or shortages noted upon receipt. All repairs must be performed by an authorized
GM Dealer.

 

Article 5: Delivery;
Title and Risk of Loss; Insurance

 

5.1                                  GM will select the assembly and shipping
locations and the modes of transportation for delivery of Vehicles to Manufacturer.
Risk of loss shall pass to Manufacturer upon delivery by GM to a carrier
(F.O.B. GM’s assembly plant), and actual and legal title shall similarly pass
to Manufacturer but with restrictions for mutual benefit as further provided in
this Agreement. Delivery shall be to Manufacturer’s business premises
identified on Exhibit A, unless GM decides another location is
appropriate. Any claims for loss or damage to a Vehicle while in the possession
of a carrier must be noted on the delivery receipt and submitted to GM.

 

5.2                                  Manufacturer’s purchase and possession of
Vehicles hereunder is a restrictive purchase and possession for mutual benefit,
and Manufacturer acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to result in the
distribution of quality End Products only to GM’s Dealer network for the
particular Vehicle brand. Following an agreement by Manufacturer with a Dealer
for the Dealer’s purchase of an End Product, Manufacturer shall notify GM in a
manner specified by GM. Upon such notice, GM will credit Manufacturer for the
original cost of the Vehicle and charge the Dealer for that Vehicle. Within two
days after invoicing the Dealer, GM will initiate delivery of the Manufacturer’s
Statement or Certificate of Origin (“MSO”) for each Vehicle to Dealer.
Manufacturer agrees not to perform any modifications or alterations to the
Vehicle until issuance of the MSO. Manufacturer agrees that after ownership of
each Vehicle has been transferred to Dealer, Manufacturer’s possession of the
Vehicle is a bailment for purposes of upfitting and storage only.

5.3                                  Manufacturer shall, absent written agreement
to the contrary, be responsible for delivery of End Products to Dealers with
certification and labeling in accordance with Section 8.1 of this
Agreement, and for invoicing and collecting for its work on or in Vehicles.
Manufacturer acknowledges that the date of GM’s charge to a Dealer for a
Vehicle has significance for purposes of pricing, promotions, inventory
charges, and other purposes, and to the extent possible, Manufacturer shall
modify, alter or complete the End Product and ship the appropriate End Product
promptly upon a Dealer’s purchase of such End Product. Manufacturer agrees to
promptly negotiate a reasonable settlement in good faith with any Dealer which
incurs undue delay in delivery of an End Product.

 

5.4                                  Manufacturer hereby indemnifies and holds GM
harmless from and against any and all claim, cause of action, loss, damage, or
expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred from any
litigation, arising from or relating to any claim for injury or property damage
in connection with the manufacturing or marketing of End Products or with the
use, operation or storage of any Vehicle while Manufacturer has title, custody,
possession, or risk of loss under this Agreement.

 

5.5                                  Manufacturer shall obtain and maintain,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at its sole expense, the following
types of insurance coverage, with minimum limits as set forth below:

 

1.                                       Comprehensive General Liability coverage,
including products, completed operations and contractual liability, at a limit
acceptable to GM but not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence for personal
injury and property damage combined.

 

2.                                       Comprehensive Automobile Liability covering
all owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles at a limit of not less than $5,000,000
per occurrence for personal injury and property damage combined, including all
statutory coverages for all states of operation.

 

3.                                       Workers Compensation in the statutory limits
for all states of operation.

 

4.                                       Employers Liability in limits of not less
than $1,000,000 for all states of operation.

 

5.                                       Garage Keepers Legal Liability on a Direct
Primary coverage basis including comprehensive and collision coverage at a
limit equal to at least the highest value of vehicles in the Manufacturer’s
care, custody and control at any one time. Coverage should apply to all
vehicles while in the care, custody or control of Manufacturer for any cause of
physical damage on a primary basis without regard to negligence. (This coverage
should be maintained separate and distinct from coverage available under the
Manufacturer’s finance plan.)

 

4

 

6.                                       Manufacturer shall provide annually to GM a
certificate of insurance and insurance policy evidencing GM as an additional
insured for all above-mentioned coverages except Workers Compensation and
Employers Liability for all activities connected with this Agreement, and stating
that the above-listed insurance is primary to any coverage that may be
available to GM. Manufacturer shall provide at least thirty days’ prior written
notice to GM of cancellation, modification, expiration or material change to
any policy and, at that time, shall provide GM with a certificate of insurance
and insurance policy for the modified, renewed or replacement policy. Such
certificate(s) shall be in a form acceptable to, and underwritten by,
insurance company (ies) satisfactory to GM. The purchase of appropriate
insurance coverage by Manufacturer or the furnishing of certificate(s) of
insurance shall not release Manufacturer from its respective obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement. All coverage’s shall be maintained throughout
the duration of this Agreement with the exception of Comprehensive General
Liability coverage referenced in Section 5.5.1 above, which shall be
maintained for a period of ten years after termination of this Agreement.

 

Article 6. End Product
Demonstrators; Show and Event End Products

 

6.1                                  In some cases, Manufacturer may seek to loan
an End Product to Dealer(s) for demonstration purposes andlor to GM for
static display at a show or event, without reaching an agreement with Dealer
for the purchase for the End Product and without the Manufacturer reporting the
End Product or Vehicle to GM as “Sold”. GM, in its sole discretion, may approve
Manufacturer’s use of a limited number of such End Products for demonstrator
services (“End Product Demo” or “Demo”) to support the Manufacturer’s marketing
of End Products to Dealers and at shows and events. GM, in its sole discretion,
will specify the number of Demos that Manufacturer may have in use at any one
time. Manufacturer must enter the End Product Demo into the GM Demo program service,
in accordance with GM’s then standard requirements, as may change from time to
time for a specified minimum days service (Demo Period). Additionally, if a
Demo is loaned to GM for static display at a show or event, any such loan shall
be in accordance with GM’s then standard requirements for show and event Demos
loaned to GM, as may change from time to time, including by executing a Loan of
Upfit Vehicle Terms and Conditions.

 

6.2                                  GM will retain the MSO of Vehicles
incorporated into End Products enrolled in the Demo program, pending its
restricted sale to a Dealer at the end of the Demo Period.. Manufacturer shall
make every effort to “pre-sell” the Demo to a GM Dealer before the end of the
Demo Period.

 

6.3                                  Except as expressly provided in this Article 6
, all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to
title, risk of loss, labeling, certification, indemnification and insurance,
shall apply to End Product Manufacturer shall be

 

5

 

responsible for all costs related to the Demo End Products, including
tax, title, registration, fuel, maintenance, mileage, wear Demos and tear,
licensing fees, and insurance for the End Product.

 

Article 7: Upfitting;
Standard of Workmanship

 

7.1                                  Manufacturer shall not alter any Vehicle,
install any body or equipment thereon, or remove any Vehicle from its business
premises where originally delivered prior to:

 

a.                                       Approval by GM of its financial institution
for Demos or Show and Event End Products; or

 

b.                                      For all other Vehicles, sale of such Vehicle(s) by
Manufacturer to a Dealer as provided in this Agreement and notice thereof to
GM.

 

7.2                                  To the extent possible, Manufacturer shall
process Vehicles delivered under the terms of this Agreement on a first-in,
first-out basis.

 

7.3                                  Manufacturer shall use its best skills and
judgment and shall perform all work on its premises (unless an alternate
location to perform the work has been approved by GM) in accordance with the
highest professional standards of workmanship, and it shall exercise due care
to ensure that all work it performs is free from defects in design, materials,
and workmanship. Manufacturer shall further employ or retain persons with
appropriate technical competence for the work being performed. GM may provide
technical information on Vehicles to assist Manufacturer, but Manufacturer will
control and bear full responsibility for the design and manufacture of the End
Product.

 

7.4                                  Manufacturer acknowledges that the reputation
of GM and its products may be affected by the quality, reliability, and
durability of Manufacturer’s products and its conduct in the marketplace. GM
may provide Manufacturer with process guidelines and other information for
improving End Product quality, reliability and durability, and provide to
Manufacturer a periodic assessment of its processes. Manufacturer is
responsible for selecting and implementing processes which meet customer
expectations for quality, reliability, and durability.

 

7.5                                  Manufacturer agrees to maintain a viable
Dealer and consumer relations activity, to offer a competitive warranty on its
work to Dealers and consumers equal in duration and every other aspect to the
applicable chassis model year new Vehicle and powertrain warranties, and to
maintain through Dealers, and others at Manufacturer’s discretion, a system of
convenient Warranty corrections for consumers, and to make available to Dealers
service replacement parts with number identification systems (this shall
hereinafter be referred to as “Parts Number Identification”) for Warranty and
non-Warranty service for a reasonable period of time after End Products are
sold to consumers.

Article 8: Compliance
with Applicable Laws

 

8.1                                  Manufacturer shall comply with all federal,
state, and local laws, regulations, and standards in its performance of its
work. Manufacturer acknowledges its legal responsibility insofar as it is the
manufacturer of an End Product and agrees to certify, label and warrant its contribution
to the End Product in compliance with applicable laws, including but not
limited to warranty laws and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Further,
Manufacturer agrees to cooperate with GM in achieving compliance with
applicable laws and regulations, Manufacturer shall comply with and maintain a
copy of the “Document for Incomplete Vehicles” supplied by GM with certain
Vehicles and maintain a record of the name and address of the first retail
purchaser of each End Product and shall make such information available to GM
at the times and in the manner specified by GM. Manufacturer shall be
responsible for ensuring that End Products are sold to first retail purchasers
in compliance with federal and state emissions laws and federal fuel economy laws.
Manufacturer shall refer to GM’s annual letter to dealers and upfitters for
guidance concerning compliance with emissions laws.

 

8.2                                  Manufacturer shall promptly notify GM of any
real or potential defect in the End Products and be responsible for reporting
under the federal Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and
Documentation (T.R.E.A.D.) Act If Manufacturer believes that there is an
emission-related defect or failure in the End Products, GM and the Manufacturer
will exchange information and will consult with each other with respect to the
need and advisability of either or both filing an emission report to the
appropriate government agencies.

 

8.3                                  Manufacturer hereby indemnifies, agrees to
defend against and hold harmless GM from any claims, suits, loss, damage or
expense, including settlements, judgments, expert fees, and attorneys’ fees,
resulting from or related to any actual, potential, or threatened claim,
action, complaint, or proceeding against GM for, without limitations, any
unauthorized use of any trademark, patent, process, idea, method, or device by
Manufacturer in connection with modifications or additions made by or for
Manufacturing (including those modifications or additions made by Manufacturer
with assistance provided by GM under Section 5.3 hereof).

 

8.4                                  Even if not required by law, Manufacturer
shall affix to each End Product an Information Label for either an altered or
completed vehicle according to the specifications, including location of the
label, established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Manufacturer shall also comply with the requirements of the Automobile
Information Disclosure (Monroney) Act and the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act, as applicable. If Manufacturer’s work affects the information contained on
the window label placed on the Vehicle by GM, Manufacturer shall apply its own
additional label with appropriate disclosure or updated information. Nothing in
this Section shall relieve Manufacturer of its obligation to comply with
all applicable laws as specified in Section 8.1. of this Article.

 

Article 9: New  Vehicle Preparation; Vehicle Warranty and
Campaign Corrections by Manufacturer

 

9.1                                  Manufacturer shall have performed, by an
authorized GM Dealer, needed warranty and special policy repairs and
adjustments, and campaign corrections directed by GM. Such services may be
performed on Vehicles prior to upfitting so long as the

 

7

 

upfitting will not impact either directly or indirectly the Vehicle
components or systems affected by the services. Otherwise, such services shall
be performed after upfitting but before the End Products leave Manufacturer’s
possession. Manufacturer shall make End Products available to such Dealer in
such fashion as to facilitate the performance of services.

 

9.2                                  The written new Vehicle warranty provided
with each Vehicle contains the only GM warranty applicable to such Vehicle, and
GM neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligation
or liability in connection with such Vehicle. In particular, GM does not
assume, and hereby disclaims, any warranty or other liability or obligation,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND ANY PRODUCT LIABILITIES BASED UPON NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY,
to Manufacturer, except if Manufacturer becomes an owner of a Vehicle, and then
only to the extent of the written new Vehicle warranty. Manufacturer shall
ensure that General Motors’ written new Vehicle warranty and other product
information intended for the consumer are placed in the End Product and remain
with it when it leaves the custody of the Manufacturer. Manufacturer shall also
ensure that Manufacturer’s written new Vehicle warranty and other product information
intended for the consumer are placed in the End Product and remain with it when
it leaves the custody of the Manufacturer.

 

Article 10: Recall
Campaigns; Product Liability

 

10.1                            In the event of a recall campaign by GM
necessitated by a defect or nonconformity in a Vehicle for which Manufacturer
is responsible, in whole or in part, Manufacturer shall reimburse GM the direct
costs, expenses and any penalties which may be incurred, with the understanding
that the portion of such direct costs, expenses and penalties to be borne by
Manufacturer shall be proportional to the degree to which the defect or
non-conformity of Manufacturer’s work caused the recall. Prior to GM or
Manufacturer performing any recall campaign for which GM or Manufacturer
expects reimbursement, GM and Manufacturer will exchange information and will
consult with each other with respect to the need and advisability thereof;
provided, however, that the final decision as to whether or not to have such a
recall shall in every instance rest with General Motors.

 

10.2                            With respect to any actual, potential, or
threatened claim, action, or proceeding (hereinafter “Claim”), regardless of
whether such Claim is based on strict liability, negligence, warranty, or other
theory (hereinafter “Product Liability”), relating to any aspect of
Manufacturer’s work, each of the parties to this Agreement shall (a) communicate
and cooperate with the other and, if necessary, the appropriate insurance
carrier, to the fullest extent reasonably possible in investigation of the
facts and circumstances surrounding the Claim and in any litigation involving
the Claim; (b) refrain from taking any position adverse to the interests
of the other party to this Agreement; and (c) not, except in enforcement
of the rights hereunder, institute any claim, action, or proceeding, whether by
cross-complaint, third party complaint, interpleader, or otherwise, against the
other party to this Agreement.

 

8

 

10.3                            With respect to any Product Liability or
related liability, costs, and expense under this Article, the following are
applicable:

 

a.                                       Any settlement or payment to satisfy an
adverse judgment in any Claim shall be apportioned to GM and Manufacturer based
upon such judgment or, if there is no judgment or it is not definitive as to
causation, each party’s liability; and

 

b.                                      GM and Manufacturer shall bear their
respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with cooperation in
investigation and litigation, including those costs incurred for the production
of documents and answering of other discovery.

 

10,4                            In the event a Product Liability Claim is
brought against GM or Manufacturer relating to the other’s work, each party
shall promptly forward to the other party every summons and complaint and every
other court document received by it; and if the other party is named a party in
the action, in no event shall either party take any action toward settlement
without prior notification to the other party of such proposed action followed
by a reasonable period of time to allow the other party to respond to such
notification.

 

Article 11:  GM
Trademark Usage

 

11.1                            During the term of this Agreement, the
Manufacturer is granted a royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to
display the GM Fleet & Commercial authorized logo as depicted in Exhibit “B”
(the “Mark”). This Mark may be used only in communications with GM dealers,
provided that the following disclosure language appears prominently and in
close proximity to the Mark: “GM Special Vehicle Manufacturer means
Manufacturer orders and receives vehicles directly from GM, agrees to maintain
$10,000,000 product liability coverage, and agrees to comply with applicable
government safety regulations. Manufacturer and not GM is responsible for FMVSS
certification of the Modified or Upfitted Vehicle.” The Mark may not be used on
or in any End Product, on any End Product labeling, or on any communications
with, or materials intended for, the end user. The Manufacturer shall not have
any other right to use any GM Marks.

 

11.2                            The Mark may be used only to convey to GM
Dealers and end users that the Manufacturer (1) can order Vehicles
directly from GM, (2) can be shipped Vehicles directly from GM, (3) has
a direct transmittal and billing relationship with GM, and (4) meets GM
insurance requirements applicable to special vehicle Manufacturers. The Mark
may not under any circumstances be used to state or imply that GM endorses,
approves or authorizes in any way the End Products of Manufacturer. For
example, Manufacturer shall not use phrases such as “GM Authorized”, “GM
Approved”, or any similar terms or phrases where the use of GM’s trademark, or
similar statements, may cause confusion to end users or dealers about the nature
of GM’s limited relationship with Manufacturer.

 

11.3                            Other than as set forth in Sections 11.1 and
11.2, the Manufacturer is not authorized or licensed to use any GM source
identifiers in association with the promotion or offering of

their services to GM dealers or end users. GM source identifiers
include trademarks, trade dress, website URLs, rights of publicity, and other
intellectual property owned by GM that evoke GM, and GM’s related products and
services.

 

11.4                            Manufacturer hereby acknowledges that the
Proprietary Marks (defined as the various trademarks, service marks, names and
designs used in connection with General Motors products and services) are the
sole and exclusive property of GM. Manufacturer and/or its customers will not,
at any time, do or suffer to be done any act or thing which will in any way
impair the rights of GM with regard to the Proprietary Marks. In particular,
Manufacturer will not use, cause, or permit to be used, any of the Proprietary
Marks on any goods or in conjunction with any services, except as provided to
it by GM under this Agreement. Moreover, Manufacturer will not use the
Proprietary Marks to incur any obligations or indebtedness on behalf of GM.

 

11.5                            Manufacturer will not apply to register or
maintain a registration for any Proprietary Marks either alone or as part of
another mark, including internet domain name without General Motors prior
written approval. Manufacturer will not take any action that may adversely
affect the validity of the Proprietary Marks or the goodwill associated with
them.

 

11.6                            Manufacturer agrees to purchase and sell
goods bearing Proprietary Marks only from parties authorized or licensed by GM.
The Proprietary Marks may be not be used as part of the Manufacturer’s name
without the express written permission of GM.

 

11.7                            Manufacturer agrees to change or discontinue
the use of any Proprietary Marks upon GM’s request. Manufacturer agrees that no
company owned by or affiliated with Manufacturer or any of its owners may use
any Proprietary Mark to identify a business without GM’s prior written
permission.

 

11.8                            Compliance with the obligations set forth in
this Article requires, and the Manufacturer further agrees to maintain

obligations.

 

Article 12:  Indemnification;
Dispute Resolution

 

12.1                            In the event a suit or other proceeding is
commenced relating to any aspect of Manufacturer’s work, including any portions
of a Vehicle affected by Manufacturer’s work, Manufacturer agrees to hold GM
harmless and indemnify GM completely from Product Liability losses. Each party
shall retain the right to conduct its own defense to such suit or proceeding.

 

12.2                            In the event of any breach of any obligation

12.3                            If it cannot be determined whether, or the
extent to which, a settlement of or judgment in a Claim or a recall campaign

that plaintiff alleged was defective, then either party may submit the matter
to binding arbitration in order to determine the relative percentage allocable
to each party. Such disputes shall be finally settled under the Rules of
the American Arbitration Association, provided that the arbitration shall not
occur until after the conclusion of the case. There shall be three (3) arbiters,
one appointed by GM and one appointed by Manufacturer, with the third appointed
by the other two. Costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally.

export, re-export or transfer such products, software or technical data contrary
to U.S. export laws and regulations. Furthermore, Manufacturer agrees the
products, software or technical data supplied hereunder will not be exported,

sanctions; (b) any party for a prohibited military end-use or to a

 

11

 

prohibited military end-user; (c) any party that is engaged in
missile, nuclear, biological or chemical weapons end-uses; and (d) any
party on any of the U.S. Government’s various lists of restricted parties.

 

14.3         Manufacturer’s obligations under this Article shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

Article 15: Termination

 

15.1         This Agreement shall expire at the end of the
Term specified above without further notice unless terminated earlier as
specified below in this Article.

 

15.2         This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
end of the Term by either party at any time by written notice thereof 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 third business day after the day of receipt of such written notice
or at such later time as may be set forth in such notice.

 

15.3         If this Agreement is terminated by GM,
Manufacturer may purchase outright or have a Dealer purchase outright any or
all Vehicles in Manufacturer’s custody. The net purchase price for each such
Vehicle shall be the Dealer invoice price at which GM would have sold such
Vehicle to a Dealer on the date of GM’s invoice to Manufacturer inclusive of
any discounts or allowances (including model close-out allowance, if
applicable) that might have been available to such Dealer. Unless otherwise
agreed in writing, such purchase price shall be paid to GM by certified check
or bank check delivered not later than the aforesaid third business day. In the
alternative, GM shall retake possession of Vehicles in Manufacturer’s custody
and credit Manufacturer for Manufacturer’s original purchase price from GM.

 

15.4         If this Agreement is terminated by
Manufacturer, Manufacturer shall, prior to the effective date of termination,
have a Dealer purchase outright, or, for demonstrator or show and event units,
purchase outright all Vehicles in its custody in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2;
provided, however, that GM at its option may retake possession of such
Vehicles, or any of them, and (a) credit Manufacturer for Manufacturer’s
original purchase price from GM, and (b) charge Manufacturer the lesser of
the expense incurred by GM to redistribute such Vehicles or the destination
charge applicable to similar units delivered to any authorized GM Dealer near
Manufacturer’s business premises.

 

15.5         GM shall have a reasonable period, and in any
event not less than thirty days from the date of termination, in which to
remove Vehicles from Manufacturer’s premises, and Manufacturer’s obligation
under this Agreement in connection with safekeeping vehicles in its possession
shall continue during such period.

 

15.6         If GM retakes possession of any Vehicles
under this Article, the terms of this Agreement shall not apply to any Vehicles
upon which Manufacturer has installed

 

12

 

bodies or other equipment, or that are not in a new and unused
condition or have missing parts or components.

 

15.7         If this Agreement is terminated, any and all
funds in the Manufacturer’s Merchandising Reserve account, addressed in Article 16
herein, shall revert to GM.

 

Article 16:
Merchandising Reserve

 

16.1         To assist Manufacturer with merchandising and marketing expenses
resulting from sales of eligible GM Vehicles, GM may in its sole discretion
provide a merchandising reserve in an amount to be determined each model year
(hereinafter the “Merchandising Reserve”).

 

16.2         This Merchandising Reserve will be accumulated by GM for any eligible
Vehicles released to Dealers from September 1 through August 31 of
each year, until further notice. The Merchandising Reserve fund will be paid to
the Manufacturer’s open account twice a year (typically early Spring and early
Fall) unless GM notifies the Manufacturer otherwise.

 

16.3         Until the Merchandising Reserve is actually paid to Manufacturer, it
remains the sole property of GM. Also GM has the right to recoup, setoff or
deduct from the Merchandising Reserve any amounts due or to become due (whether
matured, contingent or liquidated) from Manufacturer to GM or its subsidiaries.
If this Agreement is terminated, any and all funds in the Merchandising Reserve
account shall not be paid to Manufacturer.

 

16.4         Merchandising Reserve funds are intended to assist Manufacturer with
its merchandising of eligible Vehicles to GM Dealers. As a condition to receipt
of these funds annually, Manufacturer must spend not less than an equal amount
to the reserve on such merchandising. GM may request receipts to support such
payments.

additional terms shall be valid or binding upon GM unless made in writing

FORD AUTHORIZED

 

CONVERTER POOL AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT is made this
first day of May, 2008(the “Effective Date”) between Supreme Corporation and
subsidiaries with its principal place of business at 2581 East Kercher Road,
Goshen, IN 46528 (“Manufacturer”) and Ford Motor Company, a Delaware
corporation with its principal place of business at The American Road,
Dearborn, Michigan 48126 (“Ford”) (the “Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, Ford is engaged in
the business of manufacturing and marketing completed and incomplete motor
vehicles, including Ford trucks and Ford truck chassis (“Vehicles”) and Ford
sells such Vehicles to its authorized Ford Lincoln and Mercury dealers (“Authorized
Ford Dealers”); and

 

WHEREAS, Manufacturer, as a
final stage manufacturer, is engaged in the business of manufacturing and
marketing modified completed vehicles and in the installation of special bodies
and equipment on or in incomplete Vehicles, which installations include
improvements, modifications, additions and changes (collectively, the “Modifications”)
(all of which vehicles, as modified by Manufacturer, are referred to herein as “End
Products”); and

 

WHEREAS, certain Authorized
Ford Dealers desire to purchase the End Products and as such, purchase the
Vehicles from Ford and the Modifications from the Manufacturer; and

 

WHEREAS, the price and terms
and conditions of purchase of the Modifications from the Manufacturer are
governed by agreement between the Manufacturer and the Authorized Ford Dealer,
and Ford has no liability, obligation or responsibility with respect to the
Modifications; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties to this
Agreement (the “Parties”) desire to provide for Manufacturer to maintain
Vehicles at Manufacturer’s location, at no charge to Manufacturer, for no more
than 90 days, so as to facilitate the business operations of Ford, its
Authorized Ford Dealers and Manufacturer, and so as to accommodate the
production schedules of Ford and Manufacturer to the extent feasible, and Ford
is willing to deliver such Vehicles on bailment to Manufacturer and
Manufacturer is willing to accept delivery of these Vehicles from Ford, subject
to the terms of this Agreement; and

 

1

 

WHEREAS, if there is no
purchaser for the End Product after 90 days from Commencement of Bailment (as
defined herein), Manufacturer shall pay Storage Charges (as defined herein) to
Ford as set forth herein; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises hereinafter contained,
the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                BAILMENT

 

Ford and Manufacturer agree
that this Agreement shall constitute a bailment of the Vehicles ordered by
Manufacturer from Ford (“Bailment”). Such Vehicles shall be held by Manufacturer
as bailee of the Vehicles in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

 

2.                FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURER

 

Manufacturer, as a final
stage manufacturer, shall enter into a separate agreement with Authorized Ford
Dealer for the price and terms and conditions of the purchase by Authorized
Ford Dealer for the Modifications and Ford shall have no liability, obligation
or responsibility for such Modifications or the terms and conditions thereof.

 

3.                FORD AUTHORIZED CONVERTER PROCEDURES MANUAL

 

Ford shall provide
Manufacturer with a copy of its Ford Authorized Converter Procedures Manual
(the “Manual”), setting forth the policies and procedures to be followed in the
handling of Vehicles, including Vehicle orders, inventory accounting for
Vehicles, repair of transportation damage and defective parts, special use
chassis, and similar matters. Manufacturer shall abide by the policies and
procedures as are set forth in the Manual. Ford reserves the right to change
the Manual at any time.

 

4.                ORDERS

 

Manufacturer shall submit
orders for Vehicles electronically or by other method specified by Ford in the
Manual. Ford shall have no obligation to accept any such order or to deliver to
Manufacturer on Bailment, any specific model or number of Vehicles, but may
deliver to Manufacturer such number and type of Vehicles ordered by
Manufacturer as Ford deems appropriate. Manufacturer shall provide to Ford, at
Ford’s request, forecasts of Manufacturer’s requirements for Vehicles.

 

5.                RECEIPT AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES

 

Manufacturer shall examine
Vehicles upon delivery and, upon satisfaction that the number of Vehicles
received as shown on the documents is accurate, accept delivery and sign the
invoices, delivery receipts, damage reports and other documents specified by
Ford (“Acceptance of Delivery”). Ford shall deliver the Vehicles to
Manufacturer at the locations listed in Exhibit A or at such other
locations as may be approved by Ford, in writing from time to time. Ford shall
not be responsible for any delay in delivering the Vehicles to Manufacturer.

 

2

 

6.                COMMENCEMENT OF BAILMENT

 

The Bailment begins upon
Manufacturer’s Acceptance of Delivery (“Commencement of the Bailment”). Such
acceptance constitutes acknowledgement that the Vehicle was received in the
condition, quantity and state described.

 

7.                STORAGE

 

(a) Upon Commencement
of the Bailment, Manufacturer shall maintain Vehicles at Manufacturer’s
location, at no charge to Manufacturer, for no more than 90 days. If there is
no purchaser for the End Product after 90 days from Commencement of the
Bailment, storage charges will begin to accrue on the Vehicle (“Storage Charge”).
Beginning on the ninety-first (91st) day until such time that the Vehicle is
re-billed to an Authorized Ford Dealer, Manufacturer shall pay daily Storage
Charges to Ford as set forth below:

 

0 to 90 days: No Charge

91-360 days: Prime Rate plus
1 point

361-450 days: Prime Rate
plus 5 points

451 + days:
Prime Rate plus 10 points

 

Manufacturer’s Storage
Charges shall appear in Ford Motor Credit Company’s Dealer Finance system on
the first day of the month and shall be payable the same day (the 1st). On a
monthly basis, Ford will provide Manufacturer with information regarding the
Storage Charges for each Vehicle.

 

i.       Manufacturer
shall pay a daily storage charge based on the Invoice Amount of each vehicle
beginning on the Storage Charge Start Date for such Vehicle, in an amount equal
to the Prime Rate pIus (1 point, 5 points
or 10 points as set forth above) as the “Storage Charge”. The term “Invoice
Amount” shall mean that amount reflected on the applicable Vehicle invoice that
can be accessed by Ford and Manufacturer via the Lason Vision system online at
www.fleet.ford.com. The term “Prime Rate” means the interest rate for “Bank
prime loans” under the column entitled “Week Ending” for the Friday preceding
the last Monday of a calendar month as reported in the Federal Reserve
Statistical Release No. H.15 (519)  issued by the Federal Reserve
Board. In the event such Release is discontinued or modified to eliminate the
reporting of a 30-day bank prime loans rate, then Ford will substitute, in its
sole discretion, a comparable report or release of the bank prime loans rate
published by a comparable source.

 

ii.    The Storage
Charge will be calculated on the basis of 360-day year. For purposes of
computing the Storage Charge on a Vehicle, the Storage Charge shall change on
the first day of each month following the Storage Charge Start Date following
any month in which there is a change in the Prime Rate. The Storage Charge in
effect on the first day of a month shall be deemed to be in effect throughout
such month.

 

3

 

(b) Vehicles shall be
stored only at the locations approved by Ford in Exhibit A hereto or at
such other locations as may be approved by Ford, in writing, from time to time.
Unless otherwise agreed, all Vehicles shall be kept at the approved location,
within a fenced and locked storage area, and shall be placed in an area within
the storage area separate from that used by Manufacturer to store any other
property. Manufacturer shall not move any Vehicles from the approved location
to one not approved by Ford without first obtaining the written authorization
of Ford. Ford shall have the right to enter onto Manufacturer’s premises, at
reasonable times and upon prior reasonable notice, to inspect the Vehicles and
Manufacturer’s records with respect thereto.

 

(c) Manufacturer, at
its sole cost and expense, shall ensure that Vehicles do not deteriorate from a
“like new” condition in appearance or quality during the period of storage.
Vehicles in inventory over 30 days are to be inspected and maintained by
Manufacturer in accordance with the vehicle inspection procedure outlined in
the Manual.

 

(d) Upon request by
Ford, any or all of the Vehicles shall be immediately returned to Ford as set
forth in paragraph 9 herein.

 

8.                LOSS

 

Ford shall not be
responsible for any delay in delivering the Vehicles to Manufacturer.
Manufacturer shall assume all risks of loss with respect to the Vehicles,
including all loss or damage that occurs despite Manufacturer’s exercise of
reasonable care from the time that Manufacturer accepted the Vehicle and until
the Bailment ends. Manufacturer is liable for any and all loss or shortage
resulting from its failure to examine any shipment and for any damage and other
loss resulting from its failure to comply with any shipping, loading,
packaging, storage or other instructions issued by Ford.

 

9.                END OF BAILMENT

 

For each Vehicle, the
Bailment shall end in one of the following ways (1) at the time that the
Vehicle is sold by Ford to an Authorized Ford Dealer according to the
procedures set forth in the Manual; or (2) upon authorized return of the
Vehicle(s) to Ford by Manufacturer. Upon the occurrence of any of the
following events set forth in (a) — (e) herein, the
Vehicle(s) must be returned to Ford by Manufacturer at Manufacturer’s
expense, to the place and in the manner requested by Ford; otherwise, if Ford
requests such return of the Vehicle(s), Ford shall bear the expense: (a) Manufacturer
becomes the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed in a court in any
jurisdiction, whether voluntary or involuntary; (b) a receiver or trustee
is appointed for all or a substantial portion of Manufacturer’s assets; (c) Manufacturer
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (d) Manufacturer
fails to perform any material covenant or obligation in this agreement; or (e) any
representation or warranty in this agreement by Manufacturer ceases to be true
and correct in all material respects.

 

10.          TITLE

 

Title to the Vehicles, is,
and will at all times remain, the sole and exclusive property of Ford until
sold by Ford to an Authorized Ford Dealer. Manufacturer has no property

 

4

 

rights or interest in any of
the Vehicles and cannot grant any rights or interest to a third party.
Manufacturer has no right to transfer any Vehicle or to use it except as directed
by Ford in this Agreement. Manufacturer has no right to retain possession of
any Vehicle after receipt of a written demand, at any time, by Ford for return
of the Vehicle. Neither this Agreement nor the Manufacturer’s obligations may
be assigned either by Manufacturer’s own act or by operation of law.

 

11.          UCC FILINGS

 

Manufacturer authorizes
Ford, at its option, to file UCC financing statement(s) evidencing this
Bailment and Ford’s ownership of the Vehicles. Manufacturer represents that it
is organized under the laws of the state of Texas.

 

12.          NOTICE TO MANUFACTURER’S CREDITORS

 

Within 10 business days
after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Manufacturer will (i) send
each of its secured creditors and lienholders written notification that it is
holding the Vehicles for Ford at Manufacturer’s facility, and (ii) provide
to Ford a list of the creditors and lienholders notified, together with a copy
of the written notification sent to secured creditors and lienholders.
Manufacturer will certify to Ford that it has notified all known secured
creditors and lienholders.

 

13.          USE OF VEHICLES

 

Subject to section 14
herein, Manufacturer shall not use the Vehicles in any manner other than to
make modifications to the Vehicles after such the Vehicle is sold by Ford to an
Authorized Ford Dealer. Manufacturer agrees that in no case shall it make any
addition or modification to any Vehicle until it has been purchased by an
Authorized Ford Dealer.

 

14.          SALE OF VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER; MODIFICATIONS

 

(a) Manufacturer shall
notify Ford electronically or by other methods specified by Ford in the Manual
when an Authorized Ford Dealer desires to purchase a Vehicle. Following such
notification, Ford may sell such Vehicle to one of its Authorized Ford Dealers
at such price and on such terms as Ford shall determine in its sole and
exclusive discretion.

 

(b) Subject to section
14(e) below, Manufacturer agrees that in no case, prior to the Vehicle
being purchased by an Authorized Ford Dealer from Ford, shall Manufacturer (i) make
any Modification to any Vehicle; (ii) install any body or equipment
thereon; or (iii) remove any Vehicle from the location approved by Ford.

5

 

(d) The price and terms
and conditions of the Modifications provided by Manufacturer to an Authorized
Ford Dealer, and any improvements, modifications or changes thereto, shall be
governed by a separate agreement between the Manufacturer and the Authorized
Ford Dealer and Ford shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility
with respect thereto to any person, including without limitation, Manufacturer,
Authorized Ford Dealer or other third Party.

 

(e) Ford may, from time
to time, allow Manufacturer to make a Modification and/or install a body or
equipment on certain Demonstrators or other such Vehicles authorized by Ford
prior to such Vehicle being purchased by an Authorized Ford Dealer from Ford,
provided that (i) Manufacturer obtains the prior written consent of Ford
in each case; (ii) such Modifications and installations do not decrease
the value of the Vehicle; (iii) such Vehicles are not driven unless
authorized by Ford; and (iv) Manufacturer is entirely responsible for such
Modification and installation made to the modified Vehicles. A Demonstrator
Vehicle is a vehicle (i) authorized by Ford to be modified or upfit prior
to being purchased by a Ford Dealer, and (ii) used for demonstration purposes
only. Demonstrator vehicles must be enrolled in and meet the requirements of
the Show Them The Value (“STTV”) Demonstrator Program for eligible Ford
Authorized Converter Pool Accounts. STTV Demonstration Program details are

reason.

 

15.          DEMONSTRATOR VEHICLES

arid conditions set forth in the annual Show Them The Value Demonstrator

other terms and conditions set forth by Ford from time to time. Use of Demo
Vehicles according to Ford’s terms and conditions shall be considered the
Allowable Use. Ford and Manufacturer agree that Demo Vehicles are on bailment
from Ford to the Manufacturer. Ford lends the Demos to Manufacturer to be held
and used by Manufacturer, only as a bailee of the Vehicle, in accordance with this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of the respective STTV program. Demos
shall not be removed from Manufacturer’s control without Ford’s prior written
approval, other than for the Allowable Use purposes. Demos shall remain the
property of Ford and Manufacturer shall bear the risk of loss or damage that
occurs to Demos except for loss or damage arising from the sole negligence of
Ford. The Demos shall at all times be properly used and maintained by
Manufacturer. Ford shall have the right to enter onto Manufacturer’s premises
at reasonable times to inspect or remove Demos. Manufacturer shall ensure that
Demos are operated at all times in a safe, careful and lawful manner by legally
qualified drivers who are employees of Manufacturer and stand in relations to
the Manufacturer as employee to employer or are otherwise authorized by
Manufacturer.

(c)               With respect to maintenance, repairs, and use
of Demos, Manufacturer shall:

 

i.                make all major repairs necessary to maintain
the Vehicle in good working order and condition. Title to all such repairs

illegal purpose or by a person under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.

 

7

 

xi.                  not use or operate the vehicle in any manner
or for any purpose that would cause any insurance specified in this Agreement
to be suspended, cancelled, held inapplicable or increased in cost.

xii.               not use or operate the demo outside of the
continental United States, without Ford’s express written consent.

xiii.           use, operate, and test the Vehicle only in accordance with the terms

arising from, or connected with, any violation or noncompliance with any of the
terms and provisions of any such authorization, permit, waiver or exemption by,
or resulting from the action or inaction of, Manufacturer or any of its agents
or employees.

 

16.          PREDELIVERY

 

Manufacturer
agrees to perform Pre-delivery Inspection on the Vehicle portion of each End
Product prior to delivery to the Authorized Ford Dealer in strict accordance
with the Body and Conversion Companies Pre-delivery Inspection Application.

 

17.          COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS

 

In
the interest of protecting the reputation of the products of Manufacturer and
Ford, and maintaining customer goodwill, Manufacturer agrees to:

 

(a) employ
components and workmanship of high commercial quality in the manufacture of End
Products and to assure that End Products conform in all respects to applicable
Federal and State laws, rules and regulations; and,

 

(b) provide
assistance to Ford in communicating promptly, when necessary, with the first
retail purchasers of End Products. To that end, Manufacturer agrees to secure
and maintain records of the names and addresses of the first retail purchasers
of End Products.

 

18.          LABELING

 

Manufacturer
shall affix to all Vehicles such labels as Ford supplies (if not already
affixed) and maintain the labels in place.

 

19.          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

 

8

 

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) Manufacturer,
and/or its product liability insurance carrier, shall 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 or its contractors, subcontractors, vendors, agents and/or
employees, 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 instructions
provided by Ford.

 

(d) Manufacturer’s
Duty to Defend. Ford shall notify Manufacturer of any lawsuit, complaint or
claim that 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 instructions 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.

 

9

 

(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 plaintiffs
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.

 

(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.

 

20.          INSURANCE

 

At its sole cost and
expense, Manufacturer shall procure and maintain insurance continuously
throughout the term of this Agreement from such companies as are acceptable to
Ford and listed in the current “Best’s Insurance Guide” as possessing a minimum
policy holders rating of “A-” (Excellent) and a financial category no lower
than “VI” ($25,000,000 to $50,000,000 of adjusted policyholders surplus). The
following insurance shall cover Manufacturer activities under this Agreement
whether such activities are by itself or by any Subcontractor or by anyone
directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for whose acts any
of them may be liable:

 

(a) Liability Insurance

 

·                Workers’ Compensation insurance for statutory
limits or a State certificate of self insurance, and employer’s liability
insurance for not less than one million ($1,000,000) per occurrence.

 

·                Occurrence type commercial general liability
insurance, including products and completed operations, but not limited to
blanket contractual coverage, for bodily injury

 

10

 

including
death, personal injury, and property damage with limits of not less than ten
million ($10,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence.

 

·                  Comprehensive
Automobile liability insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired
vehicles, with limits of not less than five million ($5,000,000) combined
single limit per occurrence.

 

(b) With the exception of Workers’ Compensation, each insurance
policy listed above, and any excess or umbrella policy carried by Manufacturer
with additional limits than those specified above, must name Ford Motor Company
(or the appropriate Company subsidiary or affiliate) as an additional insured
under the policy(s). All insurance policies of the Manufacturer shall be
endorsed to state that the policy will be primary, and will not be excess to or
contributory with, any self-insurance or insurance policies carried by Ford.
The insurance policy shall provide that the policy may not be cancelled or
materially altered without 30 days prior written notice to Ford. Manufacturer shall
furnish to Ford an acceptable certificate of insurance evidencing the coverage
required herein. The furnishing of acceptable evidence of required coverage
should not relieve Manufacturer from any liability or obligation for which it
is otherwise responsible to Ford.

 

(c) Manufacturer shall require that its subcontractors procure
and/or maintain insurance coverage at the limits described above. Manufacturer
shall indemnify and be fully responsible for any cost to Ford resulting from
said subcontractor’s failure to procure and/or maintain said insurance.

 

21. TAXES

 

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Ford shall report, bear, and
pay all applicable personal property taxes on Vehicles and Manufacturer shall
report, bear, and pay all applicable personal property taxes on Modifications.
In the event a tax jurisdiction issues a forced assessment against one party
for the full value of End Products, each party agrees to indemnify the other
for the assessment amount attributable to their respective property.

 

22. 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 and shall be expressly IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL
OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH THE REMEDY SET FORTH THEREIN AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY THEREUNDER.

 

(b) With each Vehicle delivered by Manufacturer to Authorized Ford
Dealers, or retail customers on an Authorized Ford 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.

 

11

 

(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 as a Final Stage
Manufacturer. Ford’s warranty does not cover any failures of a Ford component
usually covered by the Ford warranty if such failure is caused by any addition,
modification, or change to the Vehicle once the Vehicle has left Ford’s
possession. In such event, the cost of repair and any related charges shall be
paid for by Manufacturer and shall in no event be covered by Ford’s warranty.

 

23.         TERMINATION

 

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by either party, at any time,
for any reason, with or without cause, by written notice to the other party.

 

(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause, upon the
occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the other Party becomes the
subject of a bankruptcy petition filed in a court in any jurisdiction, whether
voluntary or involuntary; (ii) a receiver or trustee is appointed for all
or a substantial portion of the other Party’s assets; (iii) the other
Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) the other
Party fails to perform any material covenant or obligation in the Agreement; or
(v) any representation or warranty in the Agreement made by the other
party ceases to be true and correct in all material respects.

 

(c) Written Notice of termination shall be delivered personally or
by certified mail, return receipt requested to the person and at the address
provided herein for Notice. Termination shall be effective at the end of the
thirtieth (30) calendar day after the day of receipt of such written Notice or
at such later time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties.

 

(d) Upon termination of the Agreement by either party,
Manufacturer shall fully cooperate with Ford in returning to Ford all Vehicles
in its possession. Upon termination of this Agreement by Ford for the reasons
set forth in subsection (b) of this paragraph, all Vehicles in the
possession of Manufacturer must be returned to Ford by Manufacturer at
Manufacturer’s expense, to the place and in the manner requested by Ford, and
Ford shall have the right to cancel any and all shipments scheduled for
Manufacturer after Ford gives such Notice.

 

(e) Ford shall have no other obligations to Manufacturer upon
termination of this Agreement except those set forth in this Section 23.

 

24.         FINANCIAL
INFORMATION

 

On a quarterly basis, or as otherwise requested by Ford, Manufacturer
will provide the most current Financial Reports: (a) for the Manufacturer;
and, (b) for any Related Company of Manufacturer involved in the converter
business or in financing the Manufacturer. Financial Reports include income
statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements and supporting data. Ford may
use Financial Reports provided only to assess Manufacturer’s ongoing ability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and for no other purpose, unless
Manufacturer

 

12

 

agrees
otherwise in writing. Ford agrees that it shall protect the disclosed Financial
Reports by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree
of care, to prevent the dissemination to third parties or publication of the
Financial Reports as Ford uses to protect its own confidential information of a
like nature. Ford is permitted to disseminate the Financial Reports to its
employees and those employees of any of its subsidiaries, its parent company
and any of its parent company’s subsidiaries, provided such employees are made
fully aware of the obligation of confidentiality contained within this
Agreement. Manufacturer certifies that any information contained in the
Financial Reports shall be true, correct and complete and that the financial
information therein fairly presents the financial condition of Manufacturer in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Manufacturer
acknowledges and intends that Ford shall rely, and shall have the right to
rely, on such information. For the purpose of this Agreement, a Related Company
is any parent company of Manufacturer and any subsidiary or affiliate in which
any of them owns or controls at least 25% of
the voting stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest. If
requested by Ford, Manufacturer will provide to Ford Letters of Credit and/or
Personal Guarantees and/or Corporate Guarantees. Such letters of Credit,
Personal Guarantees, Corporate Guarantees and Financial Statements will be
collected from Manufacturer by Ford Motor Credit Company on behalf of Ford.

 

25.       GENERAL TERMS

 

(a) This agreement shall bind Ford when signed by a duly
authorized representative of Manufacturer and when it bears the signature of
Ford’s Commercial Truck Director. No waiver or modification of any term of this
Agreement, or creation of additional terms, shall be valid or binding upon Ford

enforce any term of this Agreement at any future time shall not be considered a
waiver of any right or remedy available hereunder or by law.
