Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation law of Delaware provides as follows:
§145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.
(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
2
Table of Contents
to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's
conduct was unlawful.
(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason
of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this
section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director
or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors
who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,
or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors,
even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such
directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the
stockholders.
(e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this
section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and
officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions,
if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as
to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification
or to advancement of
3
Table of Contents
expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a
bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after
the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification
or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of
such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such
action or omission has occurred.
(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred
by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such liability under this section.
(h) For purposes of this section, references to "the corporation" shall include,
in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(i) For purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed
on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at
the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by,
such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its
participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner
"not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section.
(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(k) The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and
determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this
section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation's obligation
to advance expenses (including attorneys' fees).
8 Del. C. §145.
In accordance with the Delaware Law, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Ford
contains a provision to limit the personal liability of the directors of Ford for violations of
their fiduciary duty. This provision eliminates each director's liability to Ford or its
stockholders for monetary damages except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
Ford or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law providing for
liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or
4
Table of Contents
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director
derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal
liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty
of care, including any such actions involving gross negligence.
Pursuant to most of Ford's employee benefit plans, including, without limitation, its Deferred
Compensation Plan, Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, Savings and Stock Investment Plan for
Salaried Employees, Tax-Efficient Savings Plan for Hourly Employees, long-term incentive plans, and
stock option plans, the Company indemnifies directors, officers and employees of Ford against all
loss, cost, liability or expense resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which such
persons are involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under such plans except as
provided in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Ford is insured for liabilities it may incur pursuant to its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation relating to the indemnification of its directors, officers and employees. In
addition, directors, officers and certain employees are insured against certain losses which may
arise out of their employment and which are not recoverable under the indemnification provisions of
Ford's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change
to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering hereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
