                        NISSAN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP ADDENDUM

This Nissan Public Ownership Addendum (the "Addendum") is entered into effective
the date last set forth below by Nissan Motor Corporation in U.S.A. ("Nissan" or
"Seller") and Hutchins Eugene Nissan, Inc. ("Hutchins" or "Dealer"]. In
consideration of the agreements and mutual covenants set forth herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP ADDENDUM

The Public Ownership Addendum is an addendum to, supplements and modifies the
Nissan Dealer Sales and Service Agreement between Nissan and Dealer (the "Dealer
Agreement"), including the Standard Provisions thereto (the "Standard
Provisions"). To the extent that this Addendum conflicts with the Dealer
Agreement, the Addendum controls and shall govern the relationship between the
parties. The Dealer Agreement, to the extent not modified or amended, remains in
full force and effect.

2. DEFINITIONS

The parties agree that the following terms, as used in the Addendum and the
Dealer Agreement shall be defined exclusively as set forth below.

"Nissan Products" shall mean Nissan Vehicles, Genuine Parts and Accessories,
Nissan Security+Plus and such other products and services offered by Nissan to
Dealer and designated in writing by Nissan as a Nissan Product.

"Dealer Principal" shall mean the person named in the Final Article of the
Dealer Agreement as "Principal Owner" upon whose personal qualifications,
expertise, integrity, experience, ability and representations Nissan has relied
in entering into this Addendum, and any successor approved in writing by Nissan.
For purposes of this Addendum, the terms "Dealer Principal" and "Principal
Owner" are used interchangeably.

"Business Plan" shall mean the written plan meeting Nissan's approval that is
prepared and executed by the Dealer and that contains Dealer's plan and
commitment to develop its business throughout the PMA, including but not limited
to its plan and commitment with respect to organizational, operational,
financial, succession and other issues as well as certain standards on which its
performance hereunder will be evaluated.

3. OWNERSHIP

This Agreement has been entered into by Nissan in reliance upon the commitment,
representation, and agreement of Dealer to provide the personal services of
Dealer Principal and Executive Manager; and in reliance upon the representations
and agreements of Dealer as follows: i) Dealer represents that LITHIA MOTORS,
INC. owns 100% of HUTCHINS

                                       1
<PAGE>

EUGENE NISSAN, INC. , (if applicable) and LITHIA MOTORS, INC. will, at all times
during the term of this Addendum, exercise full management and control of
HUTCHINS EUGENE NISSAN, INC. ; ii) Dealer represents that LITHIA MOTORS, INC.
owns 100% of Dealer and will, at all times during the term of this Addendum,
exercise full management and control of Dealer.

In view of the fact that the Dealer Agreement and this Addendum is a personal
services agreement, and in view of its objectives and purposes, this Addendum
and the rights and privileges conferred on Dealer hereunder are not assignable,
transferable or salable; and no property right or interest herein is or shall be
deemed to be sold, conveyed or transferred. Dealer agrees, on behalf of itself
and, LITHIA MOTORS, INC., that any change in the ownership of Dealer other than
specified herein requires the prior written consent of Nissan, if Dealer desires
to remain an Authorized Nissan Dealer. Dealer agrees that, without the prior
written consent of Nissan: i) No sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer
of any of the capital stock or ownership interest of Dealer will be made. ii)
Dealer will not be merged with or into, or consolidated with, any other entity
without Nissan's prior written consent, nor will the principal assets necessary
for the performance of Dealer's obligations under this Addendum or the Dealer
Agreement be sold, transferred or assigned without Nissan's prior, written
consent. Dealer represent that no capital stock, or securities convertible into
capital stock, of Dealer will be issued, sold or otherwise transferred by Dealer
directly or indirectly to any automobile manufacturer, automobile distributor,
or potential competitor of Seller, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing.

If any person or entity acquires more than 20% of LITHIA MOTORS, INC.'s common
stock issued and outstanding at any time, and Nissan determines that such person
or entity does not have interests compatible with those of Nissan, or is
otherwise not qualified to have an ownership interest in a Nissan dealership (an
"Adverse Person"), Dealer must terminate the Dealer Agreement or transfer
Dealer's principal assets or 100% of the outstanding stock of Dealer to a third
party acceptable to Nissan unless, within 90 days after notification of Nissan's
determination, the Adverse Person's ownership interest is reduced to less than
20%

The parties to this Addendum expressly agree that, while changes in the
ownership of LITHIA MOTORS, INC. may not be entirely within the control of
Dealer, in light of the personal services nature of the Dealer Agreement and
Nissan's substantial interest in the owners of its dealers and distribution
network, and in consideration of Nissan's willingness to enter into this Public
Ownership Addendum with Dealer, any transaction involving the ownership and
stock of LITHIA MOTORS, INC. and HUTCHINS EUGENE NISSAN, INC. which violates the
provisions of this Section 3 of this Addendum shall constitute a substantial and
material breach of the Dealer Agreement and this Addendum and grounds for
termination of the Dealer Agreement and this Addendum.

4. MANAGEMENT

The Dealer Agreement and this Addendum have been entered into in reliance on the
following representations and agreements of Dealer that: i) . The Dealer
Principal of Dealer will, subject

                                       2
<PAGE>

to any other obligations set forth in the Dealer Agreement and this Addendum,
devote his/her professional efforts to the business operations of Dealer and the
entity for which he/she is responsible; ii) Executive Manger will devote his
full time and professional efforts to the affairs of Dealer; iii) The Officers
and Directors of Dealer are set forth in Schedule "A".

Nissan and Dealer agree that the retention by Dealer of qualified management is
of critical importance to the successful operation of Dealer and to the
achievement of their mutual purposes and objectives. The Dealer Agreement and
Addendum have been entered into by Nissan in reliance upon, and in consideration
of, among other things, the following representations and agreements of LITHIA
MOTORS, INC., and Dealer, that: i) The Dealer Principal and the Executive
Manager shall have full and complete control over the Dealership Operations,
subject to the powers of the Board of Directors of Dealer, to manage the
business and affairs of Dealer, and at all times the Dealer Principal shall be a
member of the Board of Directors of Dealer and the Executive Manager shall be an
officer of Dealer; ii) The Board of Directors of Dealer shall delegate the day
to day management of the Dealership Operations to the Executive Manager. The
Board of Directors of Dealer will not exercise any extraordinary powers or
interfere unduly in the day-to-day Dealership Operations; iii) Executive
Manager, subject to any other obligations set forth in the Dealer Agreement,
shall be physically present at the Dealership Facilities on a full-time basis;
iv) Dealer acknowledges and agrees that, in view of the increased
responsibilities of the Dealer Principal of Dealer, Nissan has and will apply
heightened standards with respect to the personal, business and financial
qualifications, expertise, reputation, integrity, experience and ability of a
proposed Dealer Principal;. v) Nissan may from time to time develop standards
and/or procedures for evaluating the performance of Dealer. Nissan may, from
time to time, evaluate the performance of the Dealer and will advise Dealer, the
Dealer Principal and the Executive Manager of the results of such evaluations.

5. TERM

This Addendum and the Dealer Agreement shall have a term commencing on its
effective date and continuing for a term of five years unless sooner terminated
in accordance with the provisions of the Dealer Agreement and this Addendum.
Should Dealer be in full compliance with its obligations under the Dealer
Agreement and this Addendum at the end of this term, Dealer will be offered a
new Dealer Agreement and Public Ownership Addendum, in the form then in use by
Nissan.

6. BUSINESS PLAN

Dealer and Nissan shall periodically execute a Business Plan in the form
specified in Nissan's Business Planning Process Workbook that describes how
Dealer will fulfill its sales, service, customer relations, marketing and other
commitments hereunder. The Business Plan is subject to Nissan's approval, is an
essential part of the Dealer Agreement and Public Ownership addendum and is
hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Addendum and the Dealer
Agreement.

The Business Plan shall include the following elements: i) a statement of
Dealer's legal and financial structure, including capitalization, line of credit
and equity ownership; ii) the sales,

                                       3
<PAGE>

service, customer relations, marketing and other standards on which Dealer's
performance will be evaluated; iii.) a detailed organizational structure and
staffing plans for the dealer; iv) specific plans for maximizing owner loyalty
and customer satisfaction; v) advertising, merchandising, and marketing plans;
vi) successorship, including the identity of the proposed successors to Dealer,
Dealer Principal (Principal Owner) and/or Executive Manager; and vii) other
standards or plans as agreed by Nissan and dealer. The standards on which
dealer's sales performance will be evaluated will include (i) market share
objectives for Nissan products set by the parties, and (ii) sales penetration
achieved by dealer in each of the various segments in which Nissan vehicles
compete.

Dealer shall review and update its Business Plan annually, or more often if
needed, and submit it to Nissan for review and approval. If Nissan determines
that changes to the proposed Business Plan are necessary, Dealer will make such
changes and resubmit the proposed Business Plan to Nissan. The updated business
plan shall (i) analyze Dealer's performance relative to the objectives,
standards, and plans set forth in the business plan for the preceding year or
other period, (ii) identify any deficiencies in Dealer's performance, and (iii)
specify the steps that Dealer will take to remedy such deficiencies.

If, based on the evaluation thereof made by Nissan, Dealer shall fail to
substantially fulfill its responsibilities with respect to: i) the
implementation of the plans set forth in the Business Plan, including but not
limited to any deviation therefrom; ii) the performance of its sales, service,
customer relations or other obligations based on the standards established
therefor in the Business Plan; or iii) any other material responsibilities
assumed by Dealer, Nissan will notify Dealer of such failure and will review
with Dealer the nature and extent of such failure and the reasons which, in
Nissan's opinion, account for such failure. Thereafter, Nissan will provide
Dealer with a reasonable opportunity to correct the failure. If Dealer fails to
make substantial progress towards remedying such failure before the expiration
of such period, Nissan may terminate the Dealer Agreement, such termination to
be effective at least sixty (60) days after notice is given

7. OTHER DEALER RESPONSIBILITIES

A. Branding and Business Name: Dealer shall actively and effectively promote the
"Nissan" name. Under no circumstances shall the name "Nissan" be subordinated to
or promoted less aggressively than any other name (e.g., "LITHIA MOTORS, INC.")
by Dealer.

B. Financial and Operational Reporting: Dealer shall furnish to Nissan annual
reviewed financial statements and, upon demand, shall furnish annual certified
financial statements, and otherwise disclose to Nissan in a format satisfactory
to Nissan the financial and operational results of Dealer's Nissan business.

C. Examination and Audit: Nissan shall be entitled, at all reasonable times
during regular business hours and upon advance notice, to examine, audit and
make and take copies of all records, accounts and supporting data of Dealer,
HUTCHINS EUGENE NISSAN, INC. and

                                       4
<PAGE>

LITHIA MOTORS, INC. relating to the business, ownership or operations of Dealer.

D. Disclosure of Financial Information to Affiliated Companies: Nissan shall be
entitled to disclose to and receive from affiliated companies, including but not
limited to Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, all financial statements and
reports provided by Dealer, HUTCHINS EUGENE NISSAN, INC. and/or LITHIA MOTORS,
INC.

8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

            The parties acknowledge that, at the state and federal level,
various courts and agencies would, in the absence of this Paragraph 8, be
available to them to resolve claims or controversies which might arise between
them. The parties agree that it is inconsistent with their relationship for
either to use courts or governmental agencies to resolve such claims or
controversies.

            THEREFORE, CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNITED STATES
ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C. SEC. 1 ET SEQ.), THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AGREE
THAT THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, WHICH INCLUDES
BINDING ARBITRATION, SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE,
CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS
UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTES (HEREINAFTER "DISPUTES"). SECTION 16 OF THE
STANDARD PROVISIONS IS DELETED IN ITS ENTIRETY.

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

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

9. RELEASE

Dealer hereby releases Nissan from any and all claims and causes of action that
they or any of them may have against Nissan for money damages or other relief
relating to or arising out of any event occurring prior to the execution of the
Addendum, except for any accounts payable by Nissan to Dealer in connection with
the provision of any services under the Dealer Agreement

                                       5
<PAGE>

and any claim described in Section 11.A.1 of the Standard Provisions. In
connection with this release, Dealer expressly acknowledges and waive their
respective rights under California Civil Code, Section 1542, which provides:

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

10. EXCLUSIVITY AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

A. Exclusivity: The additional provisions set forth in Attachment "A" --
"Exclusivity Provisions" -- are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this
Addendum and Dealer Agreement.

B. Right of First Refusal: The additional provisions set forth in Attachment "B"

                            PUBLIC OWNERSHIP ADDENDUM

Exclusivity Provisions

      In order for Dealer to maintain competitive Dealership Facilities to
effectively market NMC Products, Dealer hereby agrees to abide by and never
challenge the following provisions (hereinafter "Exclusivity Provisions"). These
Exclusivity Provisions shall be effective on or before __________________, 1998
and continue in effect thereafter so long as Dealer (or its principals) are
authorized NMC dealers and these provisions shall be binding on any
successors-in-interest, assigns or purchasers of "Hutchins".

            a) The only line-make of new, unused motor vehicles which Dealer
shall display and sell at the Approved Site shall be the NMC line and make of
motor vehicles. Dealer shall not conduct any dealership operations for any other
make or line of vehicles from the Approved Site.

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

            c) Dealer shall not advertise or promote any make or line of new,
unused vehicles from the Approved Site other than the NMC line; and

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

            e) Any failure by Dealer to abide by the foregoing subparts (a)
through (d) shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement warranting its
termination, and shall constitute "good cause" for its termination.

                            PUBLIC OWNERSHIP ADDENDUM

Seller's Right of First Refusal on Sale of Assets.

      In addition to its rights under Articles Third and Fourth and Section 15
of the Standard Provisions, Dealer agrees that, commencing __________________,
1998 and continuing in effect thereafter so long as Dealer (or its principals)
are authorized NMC dealers, and these provisions shall be binding on any
successors-in-interest, assigns or purchasers of "Hutchins"., whenever there is
a proposal to sell substantially all of the assets necessary to conduct the
Dealership Operations, Seller shall have the additional right and option, but
not the obligation, to purchase the dealership assets or ownership interests
pursuant to this provision.

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

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

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

            d) If Seller determines pursuant to paragraph (c) above that the
buy/sell agreement is not bona fide, Seller will so notify Dealer. Dealer shall
have ten (10) days from its receipt of such notice within which to withdraw its
proposal. Seller's exercise of its rights hereunder shall be null and void if
Dealer withdraws its proposal within such time period. If the proposal is not
withdrawn, Seller shall have the option, but no obligation, under this provision
to purchase the principal assets of Dealer utilized in the Dealership
Operations, including real estate

<PAGE>

and leasehold interest, and to terminate all rights granted Dealer hereunder. If
the New Dealership Facilities are leased by Dealer from an affiliated company,
the right to purchase the principal assets of Dealer shall include the right to
lease the New Dealership Facilities. The purchase price of Dealer's assets shall
be at their fair market value as a going concern as negotiated by the parties
and the other terms of sale shall be those agreed by Dealer and Seller. If
Dealer and Seller are unable to reach a negotiated settlement in a reasonable
time, the price and other terms of sale shall be established by arbitration in
accordance with the rules of JAMS/Endispute.

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

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

            a) In addition to its rights under Articles Third and Fourth and
Section 15 of the Standard Provisions, Dealer agrees that, commencing
__________________, 1998 and continuing in effect thereafter so long as Dealer
(or its principals) are authorized NMC dealers, and these provisions shall be
binding on any successors-in-interest, assigns or purchasers of "Hutchins",
should Dealer seek to sell or lease all or substantially all of the Approved
Site to a third party for use as a NMC New Motor Vehicle Dealership, Seller
shall have the additional right and option, but not the obligation, to purchase
or lease the Approved Site pursuant to this provision. A sale or lease for use
other than a NMC New Motor Vehicle Dealership is void.

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

                                 EXHIBIT 10.27

                              HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
                       DEALER SALES AND SERVICE AGREEMENT
                               STANDARD PROVISIONS

     The Standard Provisions set forth below are expressly incorporated in and
made a part of the HMA Dealer Sales and Service Agreement.

10.   SALE OF HYUNDAI PRODUCTS

     A.   DEALER'S AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE HYUNDAI PRODUCTS

          1.   Quantities

     DEALER agrees to purchase Hyundai Products in such quantities and varieties
as may be necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. HMA will
distribute such products pursuant to such procedures as HMA may deem appropriate
from time to time. HMA's agreement to sell may only be established by written
confirmation by HMA that the product will be shipped. HMA will use its best
efforts to provide Hyundai Products to DEALER subject to available supply from
FACTORY, HMA's marketing requirements, and any change or discontinuance with
respect to any Hyundai Product.

     HMA and DEALER recognize that certain Hyundai Products may be in short
supply from time to time because of factors which are beyond the control of HMA
or FACTORY. Where such a shortage is determined by HMA to exist, HMA will
endeavor to allocate the affected Hyundai Product(s) among its Dealers in a fair
and equitable manner, as it may determine in its sole discretion.

     HMA agrees to provide DEALER with an explanation of the method used to
distribute such products and, upon written request, will advise DEALER of total
sales by model to all Dealers collectively in the Region and to DEALER
individually.

     DEALER acknowledges that certain products manufactured by or for FACTORY
may be distributed in the United States by distributors other than HMA. Entering
into this Agreement, therefore, confers no rights or benefits upon DEALER with
respect to the sale or servicing of such products.

          2.   Prices and Other Terms of Sale

     HMA reserves the right, without prior notice to DEALER, to establish and
revise prices and other terms of sale for all Hyundai Products sold to DEALER
under this Agreement. HMA, however, will provide notice to DEALER of any
revision in prices and other terms of sale before shipping any Hyundai Product
subject to such revision.

          3.   Payment For Hyundai Products

     DEALER agrees to pay for Hyundai Products pursuant to such procedures as
HMA may designate from time to time. Such procedures may include electronic
funds transfer and other automatic collection systems. Automatic collections
will be against DEALER's then applicable wholesale credit line. HMA will advise
DEALER in writing of the implementation

<PAGE>

of such systems. DEALER will make arrangements with its designated financial
institution to accommodate the use of such systems.

          4.   Delivery of Hyundai Products

               a.   Mode and Place of Delivery

     HMA will select the distribution points, carriers and the mode of
transportation and will be responsible for all charges in effecting delivery of
Hyundai Products to DEALER. DEALER agrees to reimburse HMA for all delivery,
freight and other related charges as they appear on HMA's invoice to DEALER.

               b.   Title and Risk of Loss

     Subject to the terms of sale which HMA may establish from time to time,
title and risk of loss to Hyundai Products will pass to DEALER upon tender of
the Hyundai Products to DEALER or its authorized agent HMA will retain, and
DEALER hereby grants to HMA, a security interest in, and the right to retain or
repossess, all Hyundai Products sold to DEALER by HMA until HMA is paid in full
therefor.

               c.   Diversion of Deliveries

     If DEALER should fail or refuse or for any reason be unable to take
delivery of any Hyundai Products, or if DEALER should request diversion of a
shipment from HMA, DEALER will be responsible, and will pay HMA promptly upon
demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by HMA as a result of such
diversion. HMA may direct that the returned Hyundai Products be delivered to
another destination. The amount charged DEALER, however, will not exceed the
charge of returning the products to the original point of shipment plus any
demurrage, storage or related charges.

               d.   Failure or Delay of Delivery

     DEALER will not be liable for any delay or failure to accept delivery and
HMA will not be liable for delay or failure to deliver Hyundai Products, where
such delay or failure to deliver is due, in whole or in part, to any event of
Force Majeure, or any delay or failure of FACTORY or other supplier of HMA or
any carrier to deliver Hyundai Products.

               e.   Damage Claims

     As between HMA and DEALER, HMA assumes responsibility for damage to Hyundai
Products occurring prior to delivery to DEALER or its authorized agent. DEALER
agrees, however, to submit such claims in the manner required in the Hyundai
Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual.

               f.   Option to Repurchase Damaged Motor Vehicles

     DEALER agrees to notify HMA promptly if any new motor vehicle(s) in
DEALER's inventory, other than those used as demonstrators, should for any
reason be substantially damaged. To preserve the quality and value of new
Hyundai Motor Vehicles offered to the public, HMA will have the option to
repurchase any or all such vehicles at a price equal to the net purchase price
paid by DEALER to HMA. HMA will make appropriate payment for repurchased
vehicles directly to any lienholder. DEALER agrees to assign its rights under
any insurance contract relating to the repurchased vehicle(s) to HMA.

                                       2

          5.   Warranties on Hyundai Products

     DEALER understands and agrees that the only warranties that will be
applicable to each new Hyundai Product sold to DEALER by HMA will be the written
limited warranty or warranties expressly furnished by FACTORY or HMA or as
stated in the Hyundai Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual, as it may be
revised from time to time. With respect to DEALER, such limited warranties are
in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or any liability
for commercial losses based on negligence or strict liability. Except for its
limited liability under such written warranty or warranties, neither FACTORY nor
HMA assumes any other warranty obligation or liability. DEALER is not authorized
to assume any additional warranty obligations or liabilities on behalf of HMA or
FACTORY. Any such additional obligations or liabilities assumed by DEALER will
be solely the responsibility of DEALER.

          6.   Effect of Change of Design, Specifications or Options

     HMA reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion and without
notice to change the design or specifications of any Hyundai Product or the
availability of options in any Hyundai Product. HMA is under no obligation to
make any similar change upon any product previously purchased by or shipped to
DEALER. No change will be considered a model year change unless so specified by
HMA.

          7.   Effect of Discontinuance of Manufacture

     The manufacture and production of all or part of any Hyundai Product,
whether motor vehicle, parts, options, or accessories, including any model,
series, or body style of any Hyundai Motor Vehicle, may be discontinued at any
time without any obligation or liability to DEALER on the part of FACTORY or HMA
by reason thereof.

     B.   DEALER'S AGREEMENT TO PROMOTE AND SELL HYUNDAI PRODUCTS

          1.   Best Efforts

     DEALER is an integral part of a network of authorized Hyundai Dealers
dedicated to the vigorous and effective promotion and sale of Hyundai Products.
Accordingly, DEALER agrees to use its best efforts to effectively promote and
sell Hyundai Products to Customers in DEALER's primary market area.

          2.   Adequate Vehicle Inventory

     As a duly authorized Hyundai Dealer, DEALER recognizes that its Customers
will expect DEALER to stock a reasonable quantity and variety of current model
Hyundai Motor Vehicles. Accordingly, DEALER agrees to stock and sell, subject to
available supply, all models and types of Hyundai Motor Vehicles in the Hyundai
Product Addendum and that it will, at all times, maintain at least the minimum
inventory of Hyundai Motor Vehicles requested by HMA. DEALER will maintain all
Hyundai Motor Vehicles for display and demonstration purposes in showroom ready
condition

          3.   Hyundai Dealer Advertising Association

     HMA and DEALER recognize the benefits which may be derived from a

                                       3
<PAGE>

comprehensive joint advertising effort by Hyundai Dealers. Accordingly, HMA
agrees to assist Hyundai Dealers, including DEALER, in the establishment of a
cooperative advertising association. DEALER agrees to cooperate with HMA in the
formation of such association and, once it is established, to participate
actively and to contribute to it in accordance with the by-laws of the
association.

            The Hyundai Dealer Advertising Association will finance its
advertising programs through the assessment of a fixed amount for each new
Hyundai Motor Vehicle purchased by Hyundai Dealers. As a service to the Dealer
Association, HMA will collect the agreed amount, provided that the Association
maintains control over the amount of the assessment and the manner in which the
funds are expended and so long as such funds are expended for the promotion of
Hyundai Products which may also include Parts and Service advertising campaigns
from time to time.

          4.   Primary Market Area

     While DEALER is required to vigorously develop its primary market area,
nothing contained in this Agreement will limit or be construed to limit the
geographical area in which DEALER may promote, or the persons to whom DEALER may
sell, Hyundai Products.

     The primary market area is a geographic area which HMA will designate from
time to time for the sole purpose of evaluating DEALER'S performance of its
sales and service obligations hereunder. DEALER recognizes that the designation
of a primary market area is not intended to be permanent and that HMA may, in
its sole discretion, change DEALER's primary market area from time to time.

          5.   Appointment of New Dealers

     DEALER agrees that HMA will have the right, from time to time, to appoint
or to relocate new or additional authorized Hyundai Dealers in or near the
primary market area served by DEALER based upon such reasonable criteria as HMA
may establish in its sole discretion.

     C.   DEALER'S SALES OPERATIONS

          1.   Sales Organization

     To enable DEALER to fulfill its responsibilities satisfactorily under this
Agreement, DEALER agrees to organize and maintain an adequate and trained sales
organization.

          2.   Fair Dealing

     HMA has selected DEALER because of the reputation of its Owner(s) and the
General Manager, identified herein, for integrity and their commitment to fair
dealing. DEALER will at all times maintain a high standard of ethics in
advertising, promoting and selling Hyundai Products and will not engage in any
misrepresentation or unfair or deceptive trade practices. DEALER will not
advertise Hyundai Products in a manner likely to mislead or deceive the public
or to impair the good will of HMA or DEALER or the reputation of Hyundai
Products. Furthermore, DEALER will deal with its Customers in a courteous, fair
and forthright manner and will not engage in any deceptive or fraudulent
practices, including without limitation, bait and switch and improper retention
of deposits.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          3.   Disclosure as to Prices of Hyundai Products

     DEALER agrees to explain to purchasers of Hyundai Products the items which
make up the purchase price and to give such purchasers itemized invoices and any
other information required by law. DEALER further agrees that it will not make
any misleading statements as to the items which make up the total selling price
of any Hyundai Motor Vehicle, or as to the prices related to such items
including destination or other charges paid to HMA. DEALER also agrees not to
charge Customers for any services for which DEALER is reimbursed by HMA,
including predelivery inspection and adjustment services, without disclosing the
fact of such reimbursement to the Customer.

          4.   Disclosure as to Parts or Accessories

     DEALER recognizes that its Customers have a right to expect that any
product that they purchase from DEALER meets the high quality standards
associated with HMA, FACTORY, the Hyundai Marks and Hyundai Products in general.
Accordingly, DEALER agrees that, if it sells or installs any part or accessory
that is not a Hyundai Genuine Part or Accessory, it will disclose such fact to
the Customer and will advise the Customer that the item is not included in
warranties furnished by HMA or FACTORY. In all cases, the purchaser's contract
of purchase and sale will include written notice of such disclosure. In
addition, DEALER will clearly explain to the Customer the extent of any warranty
covering the equipment, part or accessory involved and will deliver a copy of
such warranty to the Customer at the time of sale.

     DEALER agrees that it will not represent or offer to sell as new Hyundai
Genuine Parts or Accessories, any parts or accessories used by it in the repair
or servicing of Hyundai Motor Vehicles which are not in fact Hyundai Genuine
Parts or Accessories.

     D.   ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY HMA

          1.   Sales Training Assistance

     To assist DEALER in the fulfillment of its sales responsibilities under
this Agreement, HMA will offer general and specialized sales management and
sales training programs for the benefit and use of DEALER's sales organization.
DEALER recognizes the importance of having a well trained sales staff to meet
its obligations hereunder and agrees to require its sales personnel to
participate in such programs as HMA may offer from time to time for their
benefit.

          2.   Sales Promotion Assistance

     In order that authorized Hyundai Dealers may be assured of the benefits of
comprehensive advertising and promotion of Hyundai Products, HMA agrees to
establish and maintain general advertising and promotion programs and will from
time to time make sales promotion and campaign materials available to DEALER to
promote the sale of such Hyundai Products at a reasonable charge where
applicable. DEALER agrees to cooperate in HMA's advertising programs and to
fully utilize the materials offered DEALER by HMA.

          3.   Field Sales Personnel Assistance

     To assist DEALER in handling its sales responsibilities under this
Agreement, HMA agrees to provide trained field sales personnel to advise and
counsel DEALER on sales-related

                                       5
<PAGE>

subjects, including but not limited to merchandising, training and sales
management.

     E.   EVALUATION OF DEALER'S SALES PERFORMANCE

     HMA will evaluate DEALER's sales performance at least annually and agrees
to review such evaluations with DEALER so that DEALER may take prompt action if
necessary to improve its sales performance to such satisfactory levels as HMA
may reasonably require. HMA will provide DEALER with a copy of such evaluation
upon request. HMA may, at its discretion, evaluate DEALER's sales performance
based on one or more of the following criteria:

     1. Achievement of fair and reasonable sales objectives as HMA may establish
at its discretion;

     2. A comparison of sales and/or registrations of Hyundai Motor Vehicles to
sales and/or registrations of other line makes: (i) in DEALER's primary market
area; (ii) in HMA's Region or any area thereof as HMA may reasonably establish;
or (iii) nationally;

     3. The trend of DEALER's sales performance over a reasonable period of
time,

     4. The manner in which DEALER has conducted its sales operations, including
advertising, sales promotions and Customer relations;

     5. The availability of new motor vehicles to DEALER from HMA; or

     6. Significant local conditions that may have affected DEALER's
performance.

11.  SERVICE AND PARTS

     A.   DEALER RESPONSIBILITIES

     DEALER recognizes that its Customers are entitled to prompt, courteous and
professional service and that Customer satisfaction is vital to the mutual
success of DEALER and HMA. DEALER agrees, therefore: to take all reasonable
steps to provide service and parts for all Hyundai Motor Vehicles, regardless of
where purchased, and whether or not under warranty; to ensure that necessary
repairs on Customer vehicles are accurately diagnosed and performed in
accordance with the highest professional standards; to advise the Customer and
obtain his or her consent prior to the initiation of any repairs; and, to treat
the Customer courteously and fairly at all times.

     1. New Motor Vehicle Predelivery Service

     DEALER will perform predelivery service on each new Hyundai Motor Vehicle
prior to delivery to the retail Customer according to HMA'S instructions. Any
required campaign or policy service will also be completed at the time of
predelivery service.

     2. Warranty and Policy Service

     DEALER will perform warranty service on each Hyundai Motor Vehicle at the
time of

                                       6
<PAGE>

predelivery service and when requested by the owner according to the
requirements of the Hyundai Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual. DEALER will
perform policy service as HMA may require from time to time. DEALER will provide
each owner for whom warranty or policy service is performed with a copy of the
repair order stating all services performed.

     3.   Campaign Inspections

     HMA may, from time to time, require DEALER to inspect and correct
conditions in Hyundai Motor Vehicles. DEALER agrees to perform such campaign
inspections regardless of where or from whom the subject Hyundai Motor Vehicles
were purchased. Because of the importance of campaign inspections to the overall
reputation of Hyundai Motor Vehicles for their high quality standards, HMA may
ship parts and other materials to DEALER without DEALER's authorization. DEALER
will accept such shipments and upon completion of the campaign, HMA will credit
DEALER for any extra parts and materials so shipped provided DEALER returns or
otherwise disposes of such parts and materials according to HMA's instructions.

     4.   Reimbursement Rates

     HMA agrees to compensate DEALER for all warranty, policy, and campaign
inspection work, including labor and diagnosis, in accordance with procedures
and at rates to be announced from time to time by HMA and in accordance with
applicable law. DEALER agrees that such rates will constitute full and complete
payment to DEALER for such work. Both parties agree that warranty and policy
service is provided for the benefit of Customers and DEALER agrees that the
Customer will not be obligated to pay any charges for warranty or policy work,
except as required by law.

     HMA will reimburse DEALER for predelivery service at an authorized labor
and/or diagnosis rate and according to the predelivery service time allowances
as established by HMA or as required by law.

     If DEALER wishes to adjust the established reimbursement rate for labor and
diagnosis in connection with warranty, policy or predelivery service performed
on Customer's vehicles, DEALER agrees to make the appropriate written
application to HMA and to comply with such applicable procedures or policies as
may be set forth in the Hyundai Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual.

     5.   Independent Warranty or Service Contract

     DEALER recognizes that HMA's limited warranties are provided to Customer at
no additional expense. HMA recognizes that DEALER is free to sell warranty or
service contract protection for Hyundai Motor Vehicles which is different from
and independent of HMA's warranties. In order to avoid any misconception among
its Customers, however, DEALER agrees that if it elects to sell such independent
warranties or service contracts to Customers:

     a. DEALER will conspicuously disclose in writing upon the Customer's
purchase order the extent to which the independent warranty or service contract
protection purchased by the Customer overlaps that provided by HMA or FACTORY;
and

                                       7
<PAGE>

     b. Whenever a Customer purchases such independent warranty or service
contract protection and seeks service on a Hyundai Product during the period of
time that such Product is also covered by the limited warranty provided by HMA
or FACTORY, DEALER will not apply for, and agrees that it will not be entitled
to, reimbursement under such limited warranty unless DEALER has advised the
Customer in writing, on all copies of the repair order, that the service was
provided pursuant to HMA's limited warranty and not the independent warranty or
service contract protection that the Customer purchased.

     6.   Installation and Use of Non-Genuine Parts or Accessories

     DEALER understands that it has the right to sell, install or use products
which are not Hyundai Genuine Parts or Accessories.

     DEALER agrees, however, that its Customers may reasonably expect that any
part or accessory which DEALER sells, installs or uses in the repair or
servicing of Hyundai Motor Vehicles meets the high quality standards of Hyundai
Genuine Parts or Accessories. Therefore, in cases where DEALER does not sell,
install or use a Hyundai Genuine Part or Accessory, DEALER will only utilize
such other parts or accessories as:

     Will not adversely affect the mechanical operation of the Hyundai Motor
     Vehicle being serviced or repaired; or

     Are equivalent in quality and design to Hyundai Genuine Parts or
     Accessories.

     In the event any disagreement arises between HMA and DEALER regarding the
use by DEALER of parts other than Hyundai Genuine Parts or Accessories or parts
expressly approved by HMA, DEALER agrees that it will have the burden of proving
either:

     That the parts replaced will not adversely affect the mechanical operation
     of the Hyundai Motor Vehicle being serviced or repaired; or

     That parts used by it are equivalent in quality and design to Hyundai
     Genuine Parts or Accessories or parts expressly approved by HMA.

     If DEALER uses parts or accessories which are not Hyundai Genuine Parts or
Accessories or are not approved in writing by HMA for use in Hyundai Motor
Vehicles, DEALER does so at its own risk and neither HMA nor FACTORY will be
responsible to DEALER or to any third party for any products liability, warranty
or other claim which may arise as a consequence of the installation and/or use
of such parts.

     7.   Safety and Emission Control Laws

     DEALER agrees to comply and operate consistently with all applicable
provisions of federal, state and local motor vehicle safety and emission control
laws, rules and regulations.

     In addition, HMA and DEALER will each provide the other with such
information and assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other in
connection with the performance of obligations imposed on either party by any
applicable federal, state and local motor vehicle

                                       8
<PAGE>

safety and emission control requirements.

     In the event that the laws of the state in which DEALER is located require
motor vehicle dealers or distributors to install in new or used motor vehicles,
prior to the retail sale thereof, any safety devices or other equipment not
installed or supplied as standard equipment by FACTORY or HMA, then DEALER,
prior to its sale of any Hyundai Motor Vehicles on which such installations are
so required, will properly install such devices or equipment on such Hyundai
Motor Vehicles. DEALER will comply with state and local laws pertaining to
installation of such equipment, including without limitation, the reporting
thereof.

     B.   SERVICE AND PARTS OPERATIONS

          1.   Service and Parts Personnel

     DEALER agrees to establish and maintain a complete service and parts
organization, including a service manager, a parts manager and a sufficient
number of Customer relations, service and parts personnel who meet such
educational, management, technical training and competency standards as HMA may
establish or approve.

          2.   Handling of Service Complaints

     DEALER understands that the development and maintenance of Customer
confidence and satisfaction in Hyundai Products requires DEALER's full support.
DEALER, therefore, agrees to investigate and handle all complaints from
Customers according to procedures prescribed by HMA and in a manner calculated
to secure and maintain the Customers' good will towards DEALER, HMA and Hyundai
Products. Moreover, DEALER agrees to cooperate with HMA and to provide such
information as HMA may in its judgment require to comply with any federal or
state consumer protection law, rule or regulation, including without limitation,
warranty and repair or replace laws or to avoid any liability thereunder.
Furthermore, DEALER agrees to participate in and cooperate with such Customer
complaint resolution procedures as HMA may designate from time to time.

          3.   Service Equipment and Special Tools

     DEALER agrees to procure such service equipment and special tools as HMA
may require from time to time, and to maintain the same in good repair and in
proper calibration to enable DEALER to fulfill its service responsibilities
under this Agreement.

          4.   Parts Inventory

     DEALER will stock a sufficient quantity and variety of parts and
accessories to meet Customer demand and to perform warranty repairs and special
policy work. DEALER recognizes, however, that its Customers may reasonably
expect that DEALER will have Hyundai Genuine Parts or Accessories immediately
available for purchase or installation. DEALER, therefore, agrees to carry in
stock at all times during the term of this Agreement a complete inventory of
Hyundai Genuine Parts or Accessories, as listed in HMA's current inventory
guide, to enable DEALER to meet its Customers' needs and to fulfill its service
responsibilities under this Agreement. HMA reserves the right to audit DEALER's
inventory from time to time and may require DEALER to supplement its inventory
to meet its obligations hereunder.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     DEALER will install and maintain a parts inventory control system approved
by HMA to track availability and sales of parts.

     C.   ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY HMA

          1.   Service Training Assistance

     DEALER recognizes the importance of providing consistent, dependable and
high quality service to its Customers. DEALER agrees that frequent training and
refresher courses are a necessary prerequisite to providing such service.

     To assist DEALER in fulfilling its service and parts responsibilities
hereunder, HMA from time to time will offer general and specialized service and
technical training programs and materials. DEALER will require its service
and/or parts personnel to participate in such programs.

          2.   Service Manuals and Materials

     HMA agrees to provide DEALER with copies of such DEALER service manuals and
bulletins, publications and technical data as HMA deems necessary for the
effective operation of DEALER's service and parts organization. DEALER will have
responsibility for keeping such manuals, publications and data current and
available for consultation by its parts and service employees.

          3.   Field Service Personnel Assistance

     To assist DEALER in handling its parts and service responsibilities under
this Agreement, HMA agrees to make available field service personnel who will,
from time to time, advise and counsel DEALER on parts and service related
subjects, including product quality, technical adjustment, repair and
replacement of product components, parts inventory, parts sales, Customer
relations, warranty administration, and service and parts merchandising,
training and management.

     D.   EVALUATION OF DEALER'S SERVICE AND PARTS PERFORMANCE

     DEALER's service and parts performance is extremely important to the
effective representation of Hyundai Products. Therefore, under this Agreement,
HMA will periodically evaluate DEALER'S performance of its service and parts
responsibilities, including without limitation: warranty service; Customer
relations; service and parts merchandising, management and operations; new
vehicle predelivery service; parts inventory; tools and equipment; competency of
service and parts personnel; participation of DEALER's personnel in various
training programs; and the adequacy of service and parts facilities. HMA agrees
to review such evaluations with DEALER so that DEALER may take prompt action if
necessary to improve its service and parts performance to satisfactory levels as
HMA may reasonably require. HMA will provide DEALER with a copy of the
evaluation upon request.

12.  DEALER LOCATION

                                       10
<PAGE>

     A.   RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEALER

     HMA has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon DEALER's
representation that it will establish and maintain dealership facilities and
operations only at the location(s) identified in paragraph 6. DEALER agrees,
therefore, that it will not, under any circumstances, conduct Dealer operations
at any other location, whether as a satellite operation, subdealership, through
an associate Dealer or otherwise, without the prior written consent of HMA.

     Moreover, it is the mutual desire of DEALER and HMA that DEALER's
facilities reflect a distinctive first-class appearance in common with all other
duly authorized Hyundai Dealers. Accordingly, DEALER agrees to procure from
approved sources and install all items necessary to insure that DEALER'S retail
environment complies in all respects with such distinctive first-class
appearance. In addition, DEALER agrees that all of its facilities will be
satisfactory as to space, appearance, amenities, layout, equipment, and signage
and will at all times be in accordance with HMA's minimum facilities standards,
as amended from time to time.

     B.   OPERATING HOURS

     DEALER agrees that the transportation, service and maintenance needs of its
Customers can be met properly only if DEALER keeps its dealership premises open
for business during hours which are reasonable and convenient for such
Customers. Accordingly, DEALER will maintain its respective dealership
operations open for business during days and hours which are customary and
lawful for such operations in the community or locality in which DEALER is
located and in accordance with industry standards.

     C.   SIGNS

     Subject to applicable law, DEALER agrees to purchase from sources
designated by HMA and to erect and maintain at the dealership location(s),
entirely at DEALER's expense, standard product and service signs of types
authorized by HMA, as well as such other authorized signs as are necessary to
identify the dealership operations effectively and as recommended by HMA. DEALER
shall in no way alter or modify such authorized signs without obtaining prior
written approval from HMA.

     D.   DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS

     To facilitate the accurate and prompt reporting of relevant DEALER
operational and financial data including, without limitation, sales reports,
warranty claims and parts purchasing and to ensure rapid communication with
authorized Hyundai Dealers, HMA requires DEALER, and DEALER agrees, to acquire,
install, maintain and upgrade at DEALER's sole expense, electronic data
processing systems, compatible with HMA's data systems, from a source designated
by HMA. The computer terminals for such system will be installed and maintained
at the DEALER location(s) identified herein Furthermore, DEALER agrees to
utilize said system in accordance with HMA's instructions.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     E.   FACILITY PLANNING ASSISTANCE

     To assist DEALER in planning, building and maintaining the dealership
facilities, HMA will make available to DEALER, upon request, sample copies of
building layout plans, facility planning recommendations, and an applicable
identification program covering the placement, installation and maintenance of
authorized signs. In addition, representatives of HMA will be available to
DEALER from time to time to counsel and advise DEALER regarding the proper
organization and maintenance of the dealership's exterior and interior
facilities and any expansion or alteration thereof.

     F.   EVALUATION OF DEALERSHIP FACILITIES

     HMA will periodically evaluate the adequacy of DEALER's facilities pursuant
to its responsibilities under this Agreement. In making such evaluations, HMA
will consider: the actual building and land space provided by DEALER for the
performance of its responsibilities under this Agreement; compliance with HMA's
then current requirements for dealership operations, the appearance, condition,
layout and signage of the dealership facilities; and such other factors, if any.
which in HMA's judgment may directly relate to DEALER's performance of its
responsibilities under this Agreement. HMA will discuss such evaluations with
DEALER, so that DEALER may take prompt action, if necessary, to comply with
HMA's minimum facility standards. HMA will provide DEALER with a copy of the
evaluation upon request.

13.  CAPITAL STANDARDS

     A.   NET WORKING CAPITAL

     The net working capital required to conduct the business of DEALER properly
depends upon many factors, including the nature, size and volume of DEALER's
vehicle sales, service and parts operations. Therefore, DEALER agrees to
establish and maintain actual net working capital in an amount not less than the
minimum net working capital specified in a separate Minimum Net Working Capital
Agreement made between DEALER and HMA and executed by DEALER and HMA
concurrently with this Agreement. If HMA determines, in its sole discretion,
that changed circumstances require it to adjust the net working capital
requirement hereunder, DEALER agrees to revise its minimum net working capital
to be used in the dealership's operation accordingly and within a reasonable
period of time.

     B.   WHOLESALE CREDIT

     DEALER recognizes that in order to operate its dealership successfully and
to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, it must maintain flooring and lines
of credit adequate to meet its ongoing obligations. Accordingly, DEALER agrees
to obtain, maintain and increase as HMA may require, adequate flooring and lines
of credit from any reputable financial institution or other credit source.
Subject to the foregoing obligations, DEALER is free to do its financing
business, wholesale or retail or both, with whomever it chooses and to the
extent it desires.

14.  ACCOUNTS, RECORDS AND REPORTS

                                       12
<PAGE>

     A.   UNIFORM ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

     HMA uses the operating information provided by its Dealers to develop
composite operating statistics which are useful to Dealers and to HMA in
business management. In order for such information to be useful, however,
Hyundai Dealers must submit data which is accurate and based on uniform
accounting procedures. Accordingly, DEALER agrees to maintain a uniform
accounting system designated by HMA, and in accordance with the Hyundai
Accounting Manual, as amended from time to time. In addition, DEALER will
furnish to HMA, by the tenth (10th) of each month, in a format prescribed by
HMA, a complete and accurate financial and operating statement covering the
preceding month and calendar year-to-date operations. DEALER will also promptly
furnish to HMA a copy of any adjusted financial or operating statement prepared
by or for DEALER.

     B.   SALES REPORTING

     HMA requires timely sales information to evaluate correctly current market
trends and to maintain a fair and equitable vehicle distribution system. In
addition, such data is necessary for HMA to evaluate DEALER's sales performance
and to provide meaningful advice and recommendations to DEALER.

     Accordingly, DEALER agrees to:

     1. Accurately report to HMA, with such relevant information as HMA may
reasonably require, the delivery of each new motor vehicle to a purchaser by the
end of the day in which the vehicle is delivered to the purchaser thereof; and

     2. Furnish HMA with such other reports as HMA may reasonably require from
time to time.

     C.   SALES AND SERVICE RECORDS

     DEALER agrees to keep complete and up-to-date records regarding the sale
and servicing of Hyundai Products for a minimum of five (5) years, exclusive of
any retention period required by any governmental entity. In order that the
policies and procedures relating to the application for reimbursement for
warranty, policy work and predelivery service may be applied uniformly to all
Dealers, DEALER agrees to prepare, keep current and retain records in support of
requests for reimbursement for warranty and policy work performed by DEALER in
accordance with the policies and procedures prescribed in the Hyundai Warranty
Policies and Procedures Manual and standards established by HMA consistent with
said manual.

     D.   AUDIT OF DEALER RECORDS

     DEALER agrees that HMA will have the right, at all reasonable times and
during DEALER'S regular business hours, to examine, audit and reproduce all
records, accounts and all other data relating to the sale and service of Hyundai
Products by DEALER. HMA will provide a

                                       13
<PAGE>

copy of the report of the examination or audit to DEALER upon request.

     E.   CONFIDENTIALITY

     HMA agrees that it will not provide any data or documents submitted to it
by DEALER to any third party, except FACTORY, unless authorized by DEALER,
required by law, or otherwise pertinent to legal proceedings. DEALER agrees,
however, that HMA may use such data or documents to generate composite data
which HMA believes will be useful to assist its Dealers in improving dealership
operations. Such composite data will not specifically identify any Dealer.

15.  TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND TRADE NAMES

     A.   USE BY DEALER

     HMA is the exclusive owner of, or is authorized to use and to permit DEALER
and others to use, the Hyundai Marks. HMA grants to DEALER the nonexclusive
privilege of displaying or otherwise using the Hyundai Marks in connection with
the promotion and sale of Hyundai Products and the conduct of DEALER operations
at the location(s) approved herein.

     DEALER agrees, however, that it will promptly discontinue the display and
use of any such Hyundai Marks, and will change the manner in which any Hyundai
Marks are displayed and used, when for any reason, it is requested to do so by
HMA. DEALER further agrees that it will do nothing to impair the value of or
contest the right of HMA to the exclusive use of any trademark, design mark,
service mark or trade name at any time acquired, claimed or adopted by HMA. In
addition, no company owned by or affiliated with DEALER or any of its Owners may
use any Hyundai Mark or product name without the prior written consent of HMA.

     B.   DISCONTINUANCE OF USE

     Upon termination, non-renewal or expiration of this Agreement, DEALER
agrees that it will immediately discontinue all use of the word Hyundai and the
Hyundai Marks, or any semblance thereof and cease representing itself as an
authorized Hyundai Dealer. Thereafter, DEALER will not use, either directly or
indirectly, any Hyundai Marks or any other similar marks in a manner likely to
cause confusion or mistake or to deceive the public. In addition, DEALER will
promptly remove all product signs bearing the word Hyundai or the Hyundai Marks
from its facilities at DEALER's sole cost and expense.

     In the event DEALER fails to comply with its obligations herein within
thirty (30) days of termination, non-renewal or expiration, HMA will have the
right to enter upon DEALER'S premises and remove, without liability, all signs
bearing the word Hyundai or any Hyundai Marks. DEALER will reimburse HMA for any
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this
paragraph, including reasonable attorney's fees.

16.  TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

     associated with the Hyundai Marks. Such violations of law may include,
     without limitation, any finding or adjudication by any court of competent
     jurisdiction or government agency that DEALER has engaged in any
     misrepresentation or unfair or deceptive trade practice;

          c. Submission by DEALER to HMA of: (i) false claims for reimbursement,

     similar power, and such filing or appointment is not vacated within thirty
     (30) days or there is any levy under attachment or execution or similar
     process which is not vacated or removed by payment or bonding within ten
     (10) days.

          2.   Termination Upon Sixty Days Notice

determines, in its sole discretion, that the matter may require termination of
this Agreement, HMA will so advise

                                       15

     relinquishment or discontinuance of use by DEALER, of any of the locations
     approved herein or of other principal assets required in the conduct of
     dealership operations, without the prior written consent of HMA;

          f. Any dispute, disagreement or controversy between or among partners,

     HMA;

     Vehicles, whether for showroom display, demonstration or immediate sale;

          s. Failure to maintain an adequate parts inventory;

          3.   Termination For Failure of Performance

     If, upon evaluation of DEALER's performance pursuant to paragraphs 10(E),
11(D) and/or 12(F) herein, HMA determines that DEALER has failed to perform
adequately its sales, service or parts responsibilities or to provide adequate
dealership facilities, HMA will endeavor to review promptly with DEALER the
nature and extent of such failure(s). As soon as practicable thereafter, HMA
will notify DEALER in writing of DEALER's failure of performance and will grant
DEALER 180 days from the date of such notice to correct such failure(s). If
DEALER fails or refuses to correct such failure(s) or has not made substantial
progress towards remedying such failure(s) at the expiration of such period, HMA
may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days notice or such other notice as
may be required by law.

          4.   Termination of HMA

     This Agreement will terminate upon the effective date of the termination or
expiration of HMA's right to distribute Hyundai Products.

                                       17
<PAGE>

          5.   Termination Upon Death or Incapacity

     HMA has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the personal services
of Owner(s) and General Manager and is concerned that DEALER continues to be
owned and operated by persons who meet HMA's requirements. In order to ensure
that it is represented by qualified persons, and to protect its interests, and
subject to paragraphs 16(B)(5)(a)-(c), HMA will have the right to terminate this
Agreement in the event of the death of an Owner or upon the incapacity of any
Owner who is also the General Manager identified herein, upon written notice to
DEALER. HMA will provide such notice within a reasonable time after Owner's
death or incapacity. Termination hereunder will be effective ninety (90) days
from the date of such notice.

               a.   Succession to Majority Ownership by Designated Successor

     Notwithstanding its right to terminate upon the death of any Owner, HMA
agrees to permit succession to majority ownership by any person approved as a
Successor Owner as provided herein. Accordingly, at any time during the term of
this Agreement, any Majority Owner may nominate a candidate to assume his or her
ownership interest in the dealership upon the death or incapacity of the
requesting Owner. Such nomination must be made on a form provided by HMA. In the
event that the Majority Owner is also the General Manager, such Owner may also
nominate the candidate to succeed as General Manager.

     As soon as practicable after such nomination, HMA will request such
personal and financial information from the Majority Owner and/or the candidate
as it reasonably and customarily may require in evaluating candidates for
ownership and/or management. Owner agrees that HMA may apply criteria then
currently used by HMA in qualifying Owners and/or General Managers of authorized
Dealers. Upon receipt of all requested information, HMA will either approve or
disapprove such candidate. If HMA initially approves the candidate, said
approval will remain in effect for the term of this Agreement. HMA agrees that
the Majority Owner may renominate a candidate after the expiration of this
Agreement and HMA will review such nomination: (i) so long as HMA and DEALER
have entered into a new Hyundai Dealer Sales and Service Agreement; and (ii) the
proposed candidate continues to comply with the then current criteria used by
HMA in qualifying such candidates.

     If HMA does not initially qualify the candidate, HMA agrees to review its
decision with the Majority Owner. The Majority Owner is free at any time to
renew his or her nomination. However, in such instance, the candidate must again
qualify pursuant to HMA's then current criteria. The Majority Owner may, by
written notice, withdraw a nomination at any time, even if HMA previously has
qualified said candidate.

     In the event that the Majority Owner has obtained approval of his or her
candidate as Successor Owner, and upon the death of the Majority Owner, HMA
agrees to enter into a new Hyundai Dealer Sales and Service Agreement promptly
with the Successor Owner and any remaining Owner(s). The term of the new
agreement shall be for one year. The Majority Owner recognizes, however, that
before HMA shall be obligated to appoint the approved Successor Owner as the new
Majority Owner, HMA shall have the right to request assurances from the legal
representative of the Majority Owner's estate that there is no conflict between
the appointment of the Successor Owner hereunder and any valid will executed by
the Majority Owner. In any case where a Successor Owner has been designated
pursuant to this paragraph but

                                       18
<PAGE>

the beneficial interest of the deceased Majority Owner in DEALER has passed by
will or by the laws of intestate succession to another person, then HMA will
proceed as though the Majority Owner had withdrawn his or her nomination of the
Successor Owner pursuant to this paragraph.

               b.   Succession to Ownership After Death of Owner

     Except for those cases in which a Successor Owner is appointed pursuant to
the foregoing paragraph 16(B)(5)(a), if any Owner's interest in DEALER passes by
will (or in the absence of a will, if such interest would pass by the laws of
intestate succession) to any person (heir), HMA agrees to review the
qualifications of such heir to succeed as Owner of DEALER. Such right to be
considered will not arise until the legal representative of the Owner's estate
notifies HMA within ninety (90) days of the date of notice of termination
hereunder of the heir's interest in succeeding Owner and provided that:

                    (i)  there has been no change in the General Manager of
                         DEALER; or

                    (ii) the notice from the legal representative proposes a new
                         DEALER General Manager candidate for HMA's approval.

     The effect of notice from the legal representative will be to suspend the
notice of termination issued hereunder.

     Upon receipt of such notice, HMA will investigate and make a determination
as to the proposed new Owner's qualifications as provided in paragraph
16(B)(5)(d) herein. HMA expressly retains the right to terminate this Agreement
if the proposed new Owner fails to meet HMA's then current ownership and/or
General Manager qualification requirements.

               c.   Succession Upon Incapacity of Owner

     The parties agree that, as used herein, incapacity will refer to any
physical or mental ailment which, in HMA's opinion, adversely affects Owner's
ability to meet his or her obligations under this Agreement. Termination for
incapacity will apply only where the incapacitated Owner is also the General
Manager identified herein.

     Prior to the effective date of any notice of termination hereunder, an
incapacitated Owner, or his or her legal representative, may propose a new
candidate for the position of General Manager to HMA. Such proposal must be in
writing and will suspend the pending notice of termination until HMA advises
DEALER of its approval or disapproval of the new candidate. Upon receipt of the
notice, HMA will investigate and make a determination as to the qualifications
of the proposed General Manager as provided in paragraph 16(B)(5)(d) herein.

               d.   HMA's Investigation and Determination

     Any heir wishing to succeed to ownership pursuant to paragraph 16(B)(5)(b)
or any person seeking to be a General Manager pursuant to either paragraph
16(B)(5)(b) or (c) must complete such application and submit such personal and
financial information in such form as HMA may reasonably and customarily require
in connection with its review. All requested information must be provided
promptly and in no case later than thirty (30) days after receipt of

                                       19
<PAGE>

such request. Upon the submission of all requested information, HMA agrees to
review the qualifications of the applicant pursuant to the then current criteria
generally applied by HMA in qualifying Dealer Owners and/or General Managers.
HMA will either approve or disapprove the application within ninety (90) days of
full compliance with all of HMA's requests for information. If HMA approves the
application, it will offer to enter into a new Hyundai Dealer Sales and Service
Agreement with DEALER or its successor in interest in the form then currently in
use, except that the newly approved applicants will be identified as new Owner
and/or General Manager as appropriate. Except in cases involving the death of a
Minority Owner, discussed in the next sentence, the new agreement will be for a
term of one (1) year. In cases involving the death of a Minority Owner, which
does not result in a change in General Manager, if HMA approves the heir as new
Minority Owner, then HMA and DEALER will simply amend the current Agreement to
reflect the new minority ownership.

     In the event that HMA disapproves the applicant or the applicant withdraws
his or her application to be approved as Owner or General Manager or fails to
provide the required information in a timely fashion, HMA may reinstate the
notice of termination by written notice to DEALER and to the proposed new Owner,
candidate for General Manager and/or incapacitated Owner.

     C.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF TERMINATION

     If any period of notice of termination required under this paragraph 16 is
less than that required by applicable law, the period of notice required
hereunder will be deemed to be the minimum period required by such law.

     D.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION

          1.   DEALER's Conduct

     Upon receipt of any notice of termination, expiration or non-renewal,
DEALER agrees to conduct itself and its operations until the effective date of
termination, expiration or non-renewal in a manner which will not injure the
reputation or good will of the Hyundai Marks or HMA and is consistent with its
obligations hereunder.

          2.   The Right to Purchase

     Upon sending any notice of termination, expiration or non-renewal
hereunder, HMA will have no further obligation whatsoever to sell and DEALER
will have no right to purchase any Hyundai Products. Any decision to permit
DEALER to purchase Hyundai Products thereafter will be in HMA's sole discretion
and will not be construed as a waiver of the termination or a renewal, extension
or continuation of this Agreement.

     Upon the expiration or prior termination of this Agreement, HMA will have
the right to cancel any and all pending requests by DEALER to purchase Hyundai
Products and any shipments of same scheduled for delivery to DEALER.

          3.   Repurchase of Hyundai Products

                                       20
<PAGE>

               a.   HMA's Obligations

     Upon expiration, non-renewal or termination of this Agreement, HMA will
repurchase from DEALER the following products which DEALER initially purchased
from HMA or from a source designated by HMA:

     (i) New, unused, unmodified and undamaged current model Hyundai Motor
Vehicles then in DEALER's inventory. The prices of such Motor Vehicles will be
the price at which they were originally purchased by DEALER, less all prior
refunds or other allowances made by HMA to DEALER with respect thereto.

     (ii) New, unused and undamaged Hyundai Genuine Parts or Accessories then
unsold in DEALER's inventory which are in good and saleable condition, provided
that they are listed in the then current Hyundai Dealer Parts Price List. The
prices for such parts and accessories will be the prices last established by HMA
for the sale of identical parts or accessories to Dealers in the area in which
DEALER is located.

     (iii) Tools and equipment required or recommended by HMA and then owned by
DEALER which are especially designed for servicing Hyundai Motor Vehicles. The
prices for such tools and equipment will be the price paid by DEALER less
appropriate depreciation or such other price as the parties may negotiate.

     (iv) Signs which HMA has required or recommended for identification of
DEALER. The price of such signs will be the price paid by DEALER less
appropriate depreciation or such other price as the parties may negotiate.

     HMA shall have no obligation to repurchase products as provided herein in
the event it agrees to enter into a new Hyundai Dealer Sales and Service
Agreement with DEALER.

               b.   DEALER's Responsibilities

     DEALER's right to reimbursement hereunder is contingent upon the following:

     (i) Within thirty (30) days after the date of expiration or the effective
date of termination of this Agreement, DEALER will request HMA in writing to
purchase its qualifying inventory and will provide HMA with a detailed and
accurate list of such inventory. After receiving such list, HMA may, in its
discretion, enter upon DEALER's premises to verify such inventory as qualifying
under Paragraph 16(D)(3)(a) herein. If DEALER does not provide HMA with a list
of inventory, then HMA may enter upon DEALER's premises, without liability, to
take inventory and DEALER will reimburse HMA for any costs and expenses incurred
in connection therewith.

     (ii) Upon HMA's instructions, DEALER will deliver such products as HMA will
agree to repurchase hereunder to HMA's place of business at DEALER's expense. If
DEALER fails to do so. HMA may transport such products and deduct the cost
therefor from the repurchase price.

     (iii) DEALER agrees to execute and deliver to HMA instruments satisfactory

                                       21
<PAGE>

to HMA conveying good and marketable title to such property as HMA may require.
If such property is subject to any lien or charge of any kind, DEALER agrees to
secure the discharge and satisfaction thereof prior to the repurchase of such
property by HMA. DEALER further agrees to comply with the requirements of any
federal or state laws which relate to the repurchase including bulk sales or
transfer laws.

     (iv) DEALER agrees that it must remove, at its own expense, all signage
bearing the Hyundai Marks before it is eligible for payment hereunder.

               c.   Payment by HMA

     HMA will pay DEALER for such items as DEALER may request repurchase and
which qualify hereunder as soon as practicable upon DEALER's compliance with the
obligations set forth herein and upon computation of any outstanding
indebtedness of DEALER to HMA, which indebtedness HMA may offset from any
amounts due to DEALER hereunder.

               d.   Disagreement Regarding Valuation

     If DEALER disagrees with HMA's valuation of any item herein, and DEALER and
HMA have not resolved their disagreement within sixty (60) days of the effective
date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, HMA will pay to DEALER the
amount to which it reasonably believes DEALER is entitled. DEALER's exclusive
remedy to recover any additional sums which it believes is due under this
paragraph will be by arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association. The site of the arbitration will
be the office of the American Arbitration Association in the locality of HMA's
principal place of business or Regional Office.

17.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OR OPTION TO PURCHASE

     HMA has entered into this Agreement to secure market representation at the
location(s) identified herein. The vitality of HMA's authorized Dealer network
and the effective sale and servicing of Hyundai Products nationwide is dependent
upon the continued representation of HMA by its authorized Dealers at their
approved location(s). Accordingly, DEALER agrees that in the event that HMA
refuses to approve a transfer or sale of any ownership interest in the
dealership, pursuant to paragraph 5, HMA will have the right of first refusal or
an option to purchase the dealership assets, including any leasehold interest or
realty, as provided herein.

     A.   HMA'S RIGHTS

     HMA must advise DEALER in writing of its decision to exercise its right of
first refusal or option to purchase the dealership within thirty (30) days of
its refusal to approve any sale or transfer pursuant to paragraph 5. DEALER
agrees that HMA will have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any third
party it may select. HMA hereby guarantees the full payment of the purchase
price by such assignee. DEALER may render HMA's exercise of its rights hereunder
null and void if it withdraws its buy/sell proposal within thirty (30) days
following receipt of HMA's notice exercising such rights.

                                       22
<PAGE>

     If DEALER has entered into a bona fide arm's length written buy/sell
agreement regarding ownership of DEALER or its rights under this Agreement,
HMA's right under this paragraph will be a right of first refusal, permitting
HMA to assume the buyer's rights and obligations under such written agreement.

     If DEALER has not entered into a bona fide arm's length written buy/sell
agreement governing such transfer or sale, then HMA'S rights hereunder will be
the option to purchase the principal assets of DEALER utilized in the dealership
operations, including real estate and/or leasehold interest, and to terminate
this Agreement.

     B.   PURCHASE PRICE

     If DEALER has entered into a bona fide arm's length buy/sell agreement as
provided herein, the purchase price and other terms of sale will be those set
forth in such agreement and any related documents. HMA may request and DEALER
agrees to provide any and all supporting documents relating to the transfer
which HMA may require to assess the bona fides of the agreement. Refusal to
provide such documentation or to state that no such documents exist will create
the presumption that the buy/sell agreement is not a bona fide agreement. In the
absence of a bona fide arm's length buy/sell agreement, the purchase price will
be the fair market value as negotiated by the parties. If the parties are unable
to reach a negotiated sale in a reasonable time, the price and other terms of
sale will be established exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The site
of the arbitration will be the office of the American Arbitration Association in
the locality of HMA's principal place of business or Regional Office.

     C.   TRANSFER CONDITIONS

     Upon HMA's exercise of its rights and tender of the purchase price
hereunder, DEALER will transfer the affected real property by warranty deed
conveying marketable title free and clear of all liens, claims, mortgages,
encumbrances, tenancies and occupancies. The warranty deed will be in proper
form for recording and DEALER will deliver complete possession of the property
and the deed at time of closing. DEALER will also furnish to HMA copies of any
easements, licenses or other documents affecting the property or dealership
operations and will assign any permits or licenses which are necessary for the
use of the property or the conduct of such DEALER operations.

     DEALER also agrees to execute and deliver to HMA instruments satisfactory
to HMA conveying title to all personal property, including leasehold interests,
involved in the transfer or sale to HMA. If any personal property is subject to
any lien or charge of any kind, DEALER agrees to secure the discharge and
satisfaction thereof prior to the transfer or sale of such property to HMA.

18.  DEFENSE AND INDEMNIFICATION

     A.   DEFENSE AND INDEMNIFICATION BY HMA

                                       23
<PAGE>

     HMA will assume the defense of DEALER and agrees to indemnify and hold
DEALER harmless in any legal proceeding naming DEALER as a defendant and
involving any Hyundai Product when the proceeding also involves allegations of:

          (1)  Breach of any Hyundai warranty related to the Hyundai Product,
               bodily injury or property damage allegedly caused solely by a
               defect in design, manufacture or assembly of a Hyundai Product
               (except for tires not manufactured by FACTORY), provided that the
               defect could not reasonably have been discovered by DEALER by
               reasonable inspection or during the predelivery service on the
               Hyundai Product required hereunder;

          (2)  Any misrepresentation or misleading statement or unfair or
               deceptive trade practice of HMA; or

          (3)  Any substantial damage to a Hyundai Product purchased by DEALER
               from HMA which was repaired by HMA and where DEALER had not been
               notified of such damage in writing prior to the delivery of the
               subject vehicle, part or accessory to a retail Customer; and

     Provided:

          (4)  That DEALER promptly delivers to HMA, in a manner to be
               designated by HMA, copies of any summons and complaint and
               requests in writing a defense and/or indemnification as provided
               herein;

          (5)  That the complaint does not involve allegations of DEALER
               misconduct, including but not limited to, improper or
               unsatisfactory service or repair, misrepresentation, or any claim
               of DEALER's unfair or deceptive trade practice;

          (6)  That the Hyundai Product which is the subject of the lawsuit was
               not altered by or for DEALER;

          (7)  That DEALER agrees to cooperate fully in the defense of such
               action as HMA may reasonably require; and

          (8)  That DEALER agrees that HMA may offset any recovery on DEALER's
               behalf against any indemnification that may be required
               hereunder.

     B.   DEFENSE AND INDEMNIFICATION BY DEALER

     DEALER will assume the defense of HMA and FACTORY and indemnify and hold
them harmless in any legal proceeding naming HMA or FACTORY as a defendant when
the legal proceeding involves allegations of:

          (1)  DEALER's alleged failure to comply, in whole or in part, with any

                                       24
<PAGE>

               obligation assumed by DEALER pursuant to this Agreement;

          (2)  DEALER's alleged negligent or improper repairing or servicing of
               a new or used Hyundai Motor Vehicle or equipment, or such other
               motor vehicles or equipment as may be sold or serviced by DEALER;

          (3)  DEALER's alleged breach of any contract or warranty other than
               that provided by HMA or FACTORY;

          (4)  DEALER'S alleged misleading statements, misrepresentations, or
               deceptive or unfair trade practices; or

          (5)  Any modification or alteration made by or on behalf of DEALER to
               a Hyundai Product, except those made pursuant to the express
               instruction of HMA; and

     Provided:

          (6)  That HMA or FACTORY promptly delivers to DEALER, copies of any
               summons and complaint and requests in writing a defense and/or
               indemnification as provided herein.

          (7)  That HMA or FACTORY agree to cooperate fully in the defense of
               such action as DEALER may reasonably require; and

          (8)  That the complaint does not involve allegations of liability
               premised upon separate HMA or FACTORY conduct or omissions.

     C.   EXTENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

     The assumption of the defense of a party includes the obligation of
selecting counsel and paying all attorney's fees, court costs and expenses
(including expert's fees). The assumption of the obligation to indemnify and
hold harmless will include payment of any judgment amount awarded on any claim
subject to the indemnity and hold harmless provision and any settlement amount
as the indemnifying party may agree to pay to resolve such claim.

     D.   CONDITIONAL DEFENSE AND/OR INDEMNIFICATION

     In agreeing to defend and/or indemnify each other, DEALER and HMA each may
make their agreement conditional on the continued existence of the state of
facts as then known to such party and may provide for the withdrawal of such
defense and/or indemnification at such time as facts arise which, if known at
the time of the original request for a defense and/or indemnification, would
have caused either DEALER or HMA to refuse such request.

                                       25
<PAGE>

     The party withdrawing from its agreement to defend and/or indemnify will
give timely notice of its intent to withdraw. Such notice will be in writing and
will be effective upon receipt. Moreover, the withdrawing party will be
responsible for all costs and expenses of defense up to the date of receipt of
the notice of withdrawal.

     E.   THE EFFECT OF SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In any case where a request for a defense and/or indemnification is
rejected, or is not made at the outset of any legal proceeding, and subsequent
developments in the case make clear that the allegations which initially
precluded a request or an acceptance of a request for a defense and/or
indemnification are no longer at issue therein or are without foundation, then
any party having a right to a defense and/or indemnification hereunder may still
tender such request for a defense and/or indemnification to the other party.
Neither DEALER nor HMA, however, will be required to agree to such subsequent
request for a defense and/or indemnification where that party would be unduly
prejudiced by such a delay.

     F.   TIME TO RESPOND AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES

     DEALER and HMA will have thirty (30) days from the receipt of a request for
a defense and/or indemnification to conduct an investigation to determine
whether or not, or under what conditions, it may agree to defend and/or
indemnify pursuant to this paragraph 18. If local rules require a response to
the complaint in the lawsuit prior to the time provided hereunder for a response
to such request, the requesting party will take all steps necessary, including
obtaining counsel, to protect its own interest in the lawsuit until DEALER or
HMA assumes the requested defense and/or indemnification. In the event that HMA
or DEALER agrees to assume defense and/or indemnification obligations hereunder,
such party will have the right to engage and direct counsel of its own choosing
and, except in cases where the request is made pursuant to paragraph 18(E)
herein, will have the obligation to reimburse the requesting party for all
reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred prior to such
assumption.

     G.   SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATION

     The obligations of the parties set forth in this Paragraph 18 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

19.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     A.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT

statutory liabilities) known or unknown, of any kind whatsoever, arising out of
or in connection with any prior agreements, business transactions, course of
dealing, discussions or negotiations between the parties prior to the effective
date hereof and regardless of whether DEALER knows or suspects the claim to
exist in its favor at the time of executing the release and whether or not if
known to it, it would have materially affected its release hereunder.

purchase of any Hyundai Products, audit adjustments or reimbursement for any
services.

state in which DEALER is located.

     H.   WAIVERS

     Any failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other
party of any provision herein will not be deemed to be a waiver by such party of
any subsequent breach

                                       27
<PAGE>

or violation of the same or any other provision.

HMA to authorized Hyundai Dealers in general at any time prior to the expiration
of the term of this Agreement, HMA may, by written notice to DEALER, terminate
this Agreement and replace it with a new agreement in the new and superseding
form for a term not less than the then unexpired term of this Agreement. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing, the rights and obligations of DEALER that may
otherwise become applicable upon any termination or expiration of the term of
this Agreement will not be applicable in the event of the execution by HMA and
DEALER of any new or superseding Dealer agreement and the matured rights and
obligations of either party hereunder will continue under the new agreement.

     K.   INDEPENDENT ENTITY

     DEALER is an independently owned business entity. This Agreement does not
make DEALER the agent or legal representative of HMA or FACTORY for any purpose
whatsoever. DEALER is not granted any express or implied right or authority to
assume or to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of or in the name
of HMA or FACTORY or to bind it (or them) in any manner whatsoever.

     L.   FORCE MAJEURE

     Neither party will be liable for any breach of this Agreement to the extent
caused by or resulting from prohibition or restriction by law or regulation of
any government, fire, flood, storm, war, strike, lockout or other labor
troubles, accident, riot, act of God or other events beyond that party's
control.

     M.   NO FRANCHISE FEE

     DEALER warrants and agrees that it has paid no fee, nor has it provided any
goods or services in lieu of same, to HMA in consideration of entering into this
Agreement and that the sole consideration for HMA's entering into this Agreement
was DEALER's ability, integrity, assurance of personal services and expressed
intention to deal fairly and equitably with HMA and the public and any other
promises recited herein.

consequences thereof, or in connection with any transaction contemplated between
