          2.       such employee has completed an eligibility computation
                   period in which such employee has performed in each of four
                   calendar months duties for which payment is made, with one
                   or more of the Participating Companies or a Subsidiary or
                   Affiliate, without a subsequent termination of employment;
                   or

          3.       such employee is employed after a termination of employment,
                   if such employee had become eligible under subparagraph 1 or
                   2 during such employee's previous employment.

          The Company may in its discretion determine, in the event of the
          acquisition by a Participating Company (by purchase, merger or
          otherwise) of all or part of the assets of another corporation, that
          the service of a person as an employee of such other corporation
          shall be included in ascertaining whether he or she has had such
          service as required under subparagraph 1, 2, or 3 above for
          eligibility, provided that he or she shall have become an employee of
          a Participating Company in connection with such acquisition.

          Leased employees are not considered employees and are therefore
          excluded from eligibility for membership in the Plan.  The term
          "leased employee" means any person (other than an employee of the
          Company) who pursuant to an agreement between the Company and any
          other person ("leasing organization") has performed services for the
          Company (or for the Company and related persons determined in
          accordance with section 414(n)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code) on a
          substantially full time basis for a period of at least one year, and
          such services are of a type historically performed by employees in
          the business field of the Company.  For purposes of this
          subparagraph, the term Company shall include the Company and its
          subsidiaries.

III.      MEMBERSHIP.

          Membership of any employee in the Plan shall be entirely voluntary
          except as otherwise provided in paragraph XXVI hereof.

          An eligible employee may elect membership in the Plan as of the first
          day of the first pay period commencing in any month or as of the date
          of any profit sharing distribution by delivering to the Company a
          notice of election to participate and a Tax-Efficient Savings
          agreement in accordance with paragraph IV hereunder.

          A newly-hired employee of a Participating Company may elect
          membership in the Plan prior to the date on which such employee would
          otherwise become eligible for membership in the Plan for the





                                       7
<PAGE>   8

          limited purpose of making a rollover contribution to the Plan as
          hereinafter provided.

IV.       TAX-EFFICIENT SAVINGS CONTRIBUTIONS.

          Each eligible employee, by filing with the Company a Tax-Efficient
          Savings agreement in such form as the Committee may prescribe, may
          elect to have contributed to the Plan on his or her behalf

          (a)      for each pay period, beginning with the first day of the
                   first pay period commencing in the first month following the
                   filing of such agreement, on or before the 23rd day (or such
                   later day as the Committee from time to time may
                   determine) of the month preceding such day, a Tax-Efficient
                   Savings Contribution in such amount as he or she may
                   authorize at a rate of not less than one percent nor more
                   than eighteen (18) percent (fifteen (15) percent up to the
                   first pay period after January 1, 1994) of his or her wages
                   for such pay period, and

          (b)      for each profit sharing distribution, following the filing
                   of such agreement, on or before the 15th day (or such later
                   day as the Committee from time to time may determine) of the
                   month preceding the month in which such distribution is
                   made, a Tax-Efficient Savings Contribution in such amount as
                   he or she may authorize at a rate of not less than ten
                   percent nor more than 100 percent, in multiples of ten
                   percent, of such profit sharing distribution.

          The Tax-Efficient Savings agreement shall specify that such
          Contributions are to be made in a full percentage amount of wages or
          profit sharing distributions, the amounts to be rounded down to the
          nearest full dollar.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph IV, the rate of
          Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions with respect to wages authorized
          by the employee may be decreased, increased or stopped by him or her
          only as of the first day of the first pay period commencing in any
          month by delivering to the Company on or before the 23rd day (or such
          later day as the Committee from time to time may determine) of the
          month preceding such date a notice of such change.  If an employee
          shall become ineligible to have Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions
          made to the Plan, his or her Tax-Efficient Savings agreement shall
          terminate forthwith.  If the Tax-Efficient Savings agreement of an
          employee shall terminate for any reason, the employee thereafter may,
          subject to the eligibility provisions of the Plan, resume the making
          of Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions to the Plan, as of the first
          day of the first pay period commencing in any month by delivering to
          the Company on or





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
          before the 23rd day (or such later day as the Committee from time to
          time may determine) of the month preceding such date a Tax-Efficient
          Savings agreement hereunder.

          The Company shall contribute to the Plan each month, out of current
          or accumulated earnings and profits, but not otherwise, an amount
          equal to the aggregate of the amounts of Tax-Efficient Savings
          Contributions to be contributed by the Company on behalf of employees
          pursuant to such employees' elections under Tax-Efficient Savings
          agreements with respect to such month.

          The total amount of Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions allowable
          under Tax-Efficient Savings agreements for any employee for any year
          beginning on or after January 1, 1988 shall not exceed the lesser of
          $7,000 multiplied by the cost-of-living adjustment factor prescribed
          by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 415(d) of the Internal
          Revenue Code or eighteen (18) percent (fifteen (15) percent up to the
          first pay period after January 1, 1994) of the employee's wages for
          that year plus 100 percent of the profit sharing distributions
          payable to the employee during that year, and for each employee who
          is a highly compensated employee for the year as defined below shall
          not exceed the percent of the employee's wages and profit sharing
          distributions for the year determined as follows.  There shall first
          be determined, under the following table, an average allowable
          tax-efficient savings percentage, for the eligible employees who are
          not highly compensated employees for the year as a group.

            If the average of the              The allowable average
            actual tax-efficient               tax-efficient savings
            savings percentages                percentage for eligible
            of eligible employees              employees who are highly
            who are not highly                 compensated employees
            compensated employees              shall not
            for the year is:                   exceed:                

            (a) 2% or less                     (a) 2.0 times the average of the 
                                               actual tax-efficient savings
                                               percentages for eligible 
                                               employees who are not highly 
                                               compensated employees.

            (b) over 2% but not more points    (b) 2.0 percentage added to the 
                than 8%                        average of the actual 
                                               tax-efficient savings percentages
                                               for eligible employees who are 
                                               not highly compensated employees.

            (c) more than 8%                 (c) 1.5 times the average of
                                             the tax-efficient savings
                                             percentages for eligible employees
                                             who are not highly compensated
                                             employees or, in any case, such
                                             lesser amount as the Secretary of
                                             the Treasury shall prescribe to
                                             prevent the multiple use of parts
                                             (a) and (b) of this limitation
                                             with respect to any highly
                                             compensated employees.

          The Committee shall, to the extent necessary to conform to the
          foregoing limitations, reduce the amounts of allowable Tax-Efficient
          Savings Contributions for such year with respect to any or all
          eligible employees.  Any such reductions by the Committee shall be
          done in such manner as the Committee from time to time may prescribe.

          "Average Tax-Efficient Savings contribution percentage" means the
          average of the Tax-Efficient Savings contribution percentages of the
          eligible employees in a group.

          "Tax-Efficient Savings contribution percentage" means the ratio
          (expressed as a percentage) of Tax-Efficient Savings contributions
          under the Plan on behalf of the eligible employee for the year to the
          eligible employee's compensation for the year.  "Compensation" for
          this purpose means compensation paid by the Company to the employee
          during the year which is required to be reported as wages on the
          employee's Form W-2, plus Tax-Efficient Savings contributions.  The
          determination of the Tax-Efficient Savings contribution percentage
          and the treatment of Tax-Efficient Savings contributions shall
          satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary
          of the Treasury pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.

          The Tax-Efficient Savings contribution percentage for any eligible
          employee who is a highly compensated employee for the year and who is
          eligible to have Tax-Efficient Savings contributions allocated to his
          account under two or more plans described in section 401(a) of the
          Internal Revenue Code or arrangements described in section 401(k) of
          the Internal Revenue Code that are maintained by the Company or an
          affiliated corporation shall be determined as if all such
          contributions were made under a single plan.

          The term "highly compensated employee" includes highly compensated
          active employees and highly compensated former employees.

          A highly compensated active employee includes any employee who
          performs service for the Company during the determination year and
          who, during the look-back year, which terms are defined below, (i)
          received compensation from the Company in excess of $75,000 (as





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
          adjusted pursuant to section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code);
          (ii) received compensation from the Company in excess of $50,000 (as
          adjusted pursuant to section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code) and
          was a member of the top-paid group for such year; or (iii) was an
          officer of the Company and received compensation during such year
          that is greater than 50 percent of the dollar limitation in effect
          under section 424(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.

          The term "highly compensated employee" also includes (i) employees
          who are both described in the preceding sentence if the term
          "determination year" is substituted for the term "look-back year" and
          the employee is one of the 100 employees who received the most
          compensation from the Company during the determination year; and (ii)
          employees who are 5 percent owners at any time during the look-back
          year or determination year.

          If no officer has satisfied the compensation requirement of (iii)
          above during either a determination year or look-back year, the
          highest paid officer for such year shall be treated as a highly
          compensated employee.

          For this purpose, the determination year shall be the plan year.  The
          look-back year shall be the twelve-month period immediately preceding
          the determination year.

          A highly compensated former employee includes any employee who
          separated from service (or was deemed to have separated) prior to the
          determination year, performs no service for the Company during the
          determination year, and was a highly compensated active employee for
          either the separation year or any determination year ending on or
          after the employee's 55th birthday.

          If an employee is, during a determination year or look-back year, a
          family member of either a 5 percent owner who is an active or former
          employee or a highly compensated employee who is one of the 10 most
          highly compensated employees ranked on the basis of compensation paid
          by the Company during such year, then the family member and the 5
          percent owner or top-ten highly compensated employee shall be
          aggregated.  In such case, the family member and 5 percent owner or
          top-ten highly compensated employee shall be treated as a single
          employee receiving compensation and plan contributions or benefits
          equal to the sum of such compensation and contributions or benefits
          of the family member and 5 percent owner or top-ten highly
          compensated employee.   For purposes of this section, family member
          includes the spouse, lineal ascendants and descendants of the
          employee or former employee and the spouses of such lineal ascendants
          and descendants.





                                       11
<PAGE>   12

          The determination of who is a highly compensated employee, including
          the determinations of the number and identity of employees in the
          top-paid group, the top 100 employees, the number of employees
          treated as officers and the compensation that is considered, will be
          made in accordance with section 414(g) of the Internal Revenue Code
          and the regulations thereunder.

          Subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to time may
          prescribe, a member whose Tax-Efficient Savings contributions to this
          Plan and similar contributions to all other plans in which the member
          is a participant exceed the limit of $7,000 multiplied by the
          cost-of-living adjustment factor prescribed by the Secretary of the
          Treasury for any year may request and receive return of such excess
          Tax-Efficient Savings contributions to this Plan for such year and
          earnings thereon by submitting a request for return of such excess in
          this Plan to the Committee in such form as shall be acceptable to the
          Committee.  Such amounts shall be returned to such member no later
          than April 15, 1989, and each April 15 thereafter, to members who
          submit such requests to the Committee no later than the immediately
          preceding March 1.

          Tax-Efficient Savings contributions and earnings thereon in excess of
          the limitations in this paragraph IV applicable to such contributions
          by employees shall be returned to members on whose behalf such
          contributions were made for the preceding plan year at such times and
          upon such terms as the Committee shall prescribe.  Income on excess
          contributions shall be allocated in the same manner that income is
          allocated to members' accounts during the plan year, and such method
          will be used consistently for all affected members.

          A newly-hired employee of a Participating Company who elects
          membership in the Plan in accordance with paragraph III may make a
          rollover contribution, as permitted under Section 402(a)(5) of the
          Internal Revenue Code, to the Plan in cash in an amount not exceeding
          the total amount of taxable proceeds distributed to such employee by
          a similar qualified plan maintained by his or her immediately
          preceding former employer.  The rollover contribution must be made by
          the employee within 60 days following the receipt by the employee of
          such distribution from such former employer's plan.  Rollover
          contributions shall be invested in accordance with the provisions of
          paragraph VII as the employee shall elect.  Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, the Plan may not receive a rollover contribution of a
          distribution from another qualified plan if such other plan provides,
          or at any time had provided, benefits through alternative forms of
          distribution including annuities, which are not available under this
          Plan.





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
          The Company may recover, without interest, the amount of its
          contributions made on account of a mistake in fact, provided that
          such recovery is made within one year after the date of such
          contribution.  Any recovery by the Company of its contributions to
          the Plan shall not exceed the value at the time of recovery of assets
          acquired with the Company's contributions and earnings thereon.

          In the event the deduction of the contribution made by the Company is
          disallowed under section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code, such
          contribution (to the extent disallowed) must be returned to the
          Company within one year of the disallowance of the deduction.

V.        MEMBER'S ACCOUNT IN TRUST FUND.

          At such times as the Trustee shall require in connection with the
          Trustee's purchases of Company stock pursuant to the provisions of
          paragraph XVII hereof, but not later than 30 days after the last day
          of each month, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (a) the Tax-
          Efficient Savings Contributions for such month, and (b) the amounts
          of payments by members with respect to loans and interest thereon
          pursuant to paragraph XI hereof; provided, however, that Tax-
          Efficient Savings Contributions and loan and interest payments for
          such month to be invested in the Common Stock Fund, in the Income
          Fund, in the Current Interest Fund, or in the Bond Fund shall be paid
          to the Trustee on or as soon as practicable after the last day of
          such month.  Upon receipt of such payments by the Trustee, the
          aggregate amount of such payments (and earnings thereon, as from time
          to time received by the Trustee) shall be credited to the respective
          accounts of the members, and the Trustee shall hold, invest and
          dispose of the same as provided in the Plan.

          The corpus or income of the trust may not be diverted to or used for
          any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the members or their
          beneficiaries.

VI.       VESTING.

          The assets credited to a member's account shall be fully vested and
          no portion of such account shall be subject to forfeiture for any
          reason whatsoever.

VII.      MEMBER'S ELECTION AS TO INVESTMENT OF FUNDS.

          Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions made on behalf of a member shall
          be invested in one of the following ways as the member shall elect:

          (a)      100 percent in Company stock, the Common Stock Fund, the
                   Income Fund, the Current Interest Fund, the Bond Fund; or





                                       13
<PAGE>   14

          (b)      any combination of the Common Stock Fund, Company stock, the
                   Income Fund, the Current Interest Fund and the Bond Fund, in
                   whole multiples of ten percent.

          A member's initial investment election hereunder shall be stated in
          his or her Tax-Efficient Savings agreement.  Each investment election
          hereunder with respect to wages shall remain in effect until changed
          by the member, and may be changed effective the first day of the
          first pay period commencing in any month in respect of Tax-Efficient
          Savings Contributions made thereafter by delivering a notice to the
          Company on or before the 23rd day (or such later day as the Committee
          from time to time may determine) of the preceding month.  Profit
          sharing distributions that members elect to have contributed to the
          Plan shall be invested in accordance with a member's election in
          effect with respect to weekly wages at the time profit sharing
          distributions are contributed to the Plan or, if the member does not
          have in effect such an election with respect to weekly wages, in
          accordance with the member's election.

VIII.  TRANSFER OF ASSETS TO OTHER INVESTMENT ELECTIONS.

          Any member may elect, at such times, in such manner, to such extent
          and with respect to such assets as the Committee from time to time
          may determine, to have the value of securities, cash, cash value of
          Common Stock Fund Units or cash value of Bond Fund Units in such
          member's account transferred by being invested in such account in
          such other of the ways in which Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions
          may be invested pursuant to this paragraph VIII as the member shall
          elect; provided, however, that:

          (a)      a member may not transfer the value of amounts credited to
                   his or her Income Fund subaccount except at such times as
                   the Committee may determine;

          (b)      a member may make one such transfer election each month, or
                   such additional number of such transfer elections as the
                   Committee may determine, and, in addition, a member may
                   elect to transfer the value of amounts credited to his or
                   her Income Fund subaccount at any such time as the Committee
                   may determine; and

          (c)      all such transfer elections shall be subject to such other
                   regulations as the Committee may prescribe, which may
                   specify, among other things, application procedures, minimum
                   and maximum amounts that may be transferred, procedures for
                   determining the value of assets the subject of a transfer





                                       14
<PAGE>   15
                   election and other matters which may include conditions or
                   restrictions applicable to transfer elections.

IX.       INVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS, INTEREST, ETC.

          Cash dividends and the cash proceeds of any other distribution
          received on Company stock shall be invested in Company stock.  Cash
          dividends and the cash proceeds of any other distribution in respect
          of Common Stock Fund investments shall be invested pursuant to
          subparagraph 4 of paragraph XIII hereof.  Cash dividends and the cash
          proceeds of any other distribution in respect of Bond Fund
          investments shall be invested pursuant to subparagraph 5 of paragraph
          XIII hereof.

X.        DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.

          Distribution of all assets in a member's account shall be governed by
          the following provisions:

          1.       Termination of Employment

                   In the case of a member's termination of employment for any
                   reason (whether voluntary or by discharge, with or without
                   cause), the securities, cash, cash value of the Common Stock
                   Fund Units and cash value of the Bond Fund Units in his or
                   her account shall be delivered to the member as soon as
                   practicable after the earlier of

                   (i)       receipt by the Company of a request for
                   distribution made by the member at or after termination of 
                   employment, or

                   (ii)      the end of the year in which such member attains
                   age sixty-five (65) or the date on which such member attains
                   age 70 if such member shall have so elected or, if later,
                   the date of termination of employment of such member

                   provided, however, that in the case of a member who has
                   attained age sixty-five (65), distribution shall be made no
                   later than the 60th day after the later of the close of the
                   year in which the member attains age sixty-five (65) or
                   terminates employment unless the member elects otherwise.
                   In the event of death of the member, distribution shall be
                   made to such member's beneficiaries hereunder as soon as
                   practicable after notice of such member's death is received
                   by the Company.

          2.       Attainment of Age 70-1/2





                                       15
<PAGE>   16

                   In the case of a member who has attained age seventy and
                   one-half (70-1/2) on or after January 1, 1988 and who has
                   not terminated employment, distribution of the securities,
                   cash, cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash
                   value of the Bond Fund Units in his or her account shall
                   begin not later than April 1 of the calendar year following
                   the calendar year in which the member attains age seventy
                   and one-half (70-1/2) and shall be made over a period of
                   fifteen (15) years; upon termination of such member's
                   employment, the assets remaining in the member's account
                   shall be distributed.  Such distribution shall be made in
                   accordance with section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue
                   Code and with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the
                   Treasury thereunder and subject to such regulations as the
                   Committee may prescribe.

          3.       Miscellaneous

                   For purposes of any distribution of assets in a member's
                   account pursuant to this paragraph X, the securities, cash,
                   cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash value of
                   the Bond Fund Units in his or her account shall be reduced
                   by the balance of any loan made to such member as provided
                   in paragraph XI hereof and interest thereon that is unpaid
                   at the effective date of such distribution.

                   Subject to the provisions of paragraph XVII hereof, and
                   subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to
                   time may prescribe, a member receiving a distribution
                   pursuant to this paragraph X may agree to sell to the
                   Trustee for purposes of the Plan all full shares of Company
                   stock covered by his or her distribution, such sale to be at
                   a price per share equal to the current market value of
                   Company stock on the effective date of the distribution.
                   The member so agreeing shall pay all applicable transfer
                   taxes incident to the sale of such shares to the Trustee,
                   and the amount thereof may be deducted from the payment made
                   by the Trustee to the member.

                   Assets held for the benefit of an alternate payee pursuant
                   to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by
                   section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
                   section 206(d) of ERISA shall be distributed prior to the
                   date on which assets would be distributed to a member if
                   such order so requires provided that such order requires
                   distribution of all assets held for the benefit of such
                   alternate payee.

                   In the event that distribution to a member or his or her
                   beneficiary or beneficiaries cannot be made because the
                   identity or location of such member or such beneficiary or





                                       16
<PAGE>   17
                   beneficiaries cannot be determined after reasonable efforts
                   and if the assets in such member's account for that reason
                   remain undistributed for a period of one year, the Committee
                   may direct that the assets in such member's account and all
                   further benefits with respect to such person shall be
                   forfeited and all liability for the payment thereof shall
                   terminate provided, however, that in the event that the
                   identity or location of the member or beneficiary is
                   subsequently determined, the value of the assets in such
                   member's account at the date of forfeiture shall be paid by
                   the Company to such person in a single sum.  The value of
                   the assets so forfeited shall be applied, as soon as
                   practicable, to reimburse the Company for its expense in
                   administering the Plan.  For such purposes, the value of the
                   securities, cash, cash value of Common Stock Fund Units and
                   cash value of the Bond Fund Units shall be determined as of
                   the date of the forfeiture, any Company stock to be valued
                   at a price per share equal to the average of the highest
                   price and the lowest price at which shares of Company stock
                   are sold on the date of such forfeiture or application or,
                   if no such sales were made on such date, on the next
                   preceding day on which there were such sales, in either case
                   as reported in the Composite Quotation Listing.

          4.       Rollovers

                   A member who receives a distribution after December 31, 1992
                   may elect to have the Trustee transfer directly to an
                   Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") of the member or to
                   another employer's plan in which the member is a participant
                   all or part of the assets included in the distribution,
                   including Company stock, except (i) a distribution required
                   to be made to a member who has attained age 70 1/2 and has
                   not terminated employment, and (ii) the portion of the
                   distribution that constitutes a return of the member's
                   after-tax contributions that were transferred from the Tax
                   Reduction Act Stock Ownership Plan for Hourly Employees when
                   that Plan was terminated in 1989.  Any transfer shall be
                   subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to
                   time may prescribe.  The member shall designate the IRA or
                   other employer's plan to which assets are to be transferred
                   and transfer shall be made subject to acceptance by the
                   transferee plan or IRA.


XI.       BORROWINGS WITH RESPECT TO ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO TAX-EFFICIENT
          SAVINGS CONTRIBUTIONS.





                                       17
<PAGE>   18

          Subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to time may
          prescribe, a member prior to termination of employment may apply for
          and receive a loan from the Plan in an amount not exceeding in the
          aggregate fifty percent of the value, at the time of any such loan,
          of the securities, cash (except any amount credited to such member's
          Income Fund subaccount), cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units,
          and cash value of the Bond Fund Units in his or her account that are
          attributable to Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions made on his or
          her behalf and that the member shall have designated to be used to
          provide the amount of the loan provided, however, that no amount
          credited to such member's Income Fund subaccount shall be used to
          provide any part of the loan.  No loan of less than $1,000 shall be
          made.  All loans from all plans of the Company and other members of a
          group of employers described in sections 414(b), 414(c), 414(m) and
          414(o) of the Internal Revenue Code are aggregated for purposes of
          the above limitation.

          All such loans shall (i) be available to all members on a reasonably
          equivalent basis, (ii) be adequately secured and (iii) bear a 
          reasonable rate of interest and be subject to such other requirements,
          including repayment terms, as the Committee from time to time may
          prescribe, provided, however, that (a) the entire amount of any such
          loan and all amounts of related interest must be repaid not later
          than 60 months (or, when permitted by law, such later date as the
          Committee may determine) after the month in which the loan is
          effective and (b) repayments shall be made by a member from his or
          her wages by payroll deductions or in such other manner as the
          Committee may prescribe.  In no event shall the repayment be made
          less frequently than once per calendar quarter.  For loans made after
          October 18, 1989, the Committee shall determine a rate of interest
          such that the Plan is provided with a return commensurate with the
          interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money
          for loans which would be made under similar circumstances.  Any loan
          to a member shall be secured by such member's interest in the Plan.
          All such requirements shall be applicable on a uniform and
          non-discriminatory basis to all members who may apply for such loans.

          Amounts paid by a member, including interest payments, with respect
          to any such loan shall be credited to a loan subaccount in such
          member's account.  Amounts in the loan subaccount shall be invested
          in accordance with such regulations as the Committee from time to
          time may prescribe.

XII.  WITHDRAWAL OF ASSETS.

          Prior to termination of employment a member shall not be permitted to
          withdraw all or any portion of the securities, cash, cash value





                                       18
<PAGE>   19
          of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash value of the Bond Fund Units
          in the member's account; provided, however, that such withdrawal
          shall be permitted (i) at any time after the member shall have
          attained age 59-1/2 or (ii) prior to attaining age 59-1/2, if
          withdrawal (i) is made on account of an immediate and heavy financial
          need of the member and (ii) is necessary to satisfy such financial
          need.  An immediate and heavy financial need shall be deemed to exist
          if the requirements of Treasury Regulation section
          1.401(k)-1(d)(2)(ii)(B) are met or if an expense of $500 or more is
          approved by the Committee as constituting an immediate and heavy
          financial need.  A withdrawal will be deemed necessary to satisfy
          such financial need if (i) the withdrawal is not in excess of the
          immediate and heavy financial need; (ii) the member has no other
          distribution or nontaxable loan privileges available from any plan
          maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries; (iii) the member's
          contributions to the Company's savings plans are suspended for twelve
          months after the withdrawal; and (iv) the annual limit on
          tax-efficient savings contributions in the taxable year of enrollment
          following the hardship withdrawal is reduced by the amount of tax
          efficient savings contributions made in the withdrawal year.  For
          years after 1988 any withdrawal on account of financial hardship
          cannot exceed the dollar amount of Tax-Efficient Savings
          Contributions made to the account of the member, exclusive of
          earnings thereon.  Any such withdrawal of assets shall be made as of
          the date specified by the Committee in its determination of the
          existence of a financial hardship.  The assets so withdrawn shall be
          delivered to the member as soon as practicable after the effective
          date of the withdrawal.

          Subject to the provisions of paragraph XVII hereof, and subject to
          such regulations as the Committee from time to time may prescribe, a
          member requesting any such withdrawal may agree to sell to the
          Trustee for purposes of the Plan all full shares of Company stock
          covered by his or her withdrawal request, such sale to be at a price
          per share equal to the current market value of Company stock on the
          effective date of the withdrawal.  The member so agreeing shall pay
          all applicable transfer taxes incident to the sale of such shares to
          the Trustee, and the amount thereof may be deducted from the payment
          made by the Trustee to the member.

          A member who receives a withdrawal after December 31, 1992 may elect
          to have the Trustee transfer directly to an Individual Retirement
          Account ("IRA") of the member or to another employer's plan in which
          the member is a participant all or part of the assets included in the
          withdrawal, including Company stock, except a withdrawal made by an
          active employee after attainment of age 70 1/2.  Any transfer shall
          be subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to time may
          prescribe.  The member shall designate the IRA or other





                                       19
<PAGE>   20

          employer's plan to which assets are to be transferred and transfer
          shall be made subject to acceptance by the transferee plan or IRA.

XIII.     INCOME FUND, INDEX FUND, CURRENT INTEREST FUND, COMMON STOCK FUND AND
          BOND FUND.

          1.       Income Fund.

                   (a)     For each member who elects pursuant to paragraph VII
                           to have Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions invested
                           in the Income Fund or for whom a transfer is made to
                           the Income Fund as provided in paragraph VIII
                           hereof, the Trustee shall establish an Income Fund
                           subaccount or subaccounts, which shall be parts of
                           the member's account under the Plan, and shall
                           credit to such subaccounts the sums so to be
                           transferred or invested under such member's election
                           or elections.  As soon as practicable following
                           receipt of any Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions
                           to be invested in the Income Fund and as soon as
                           practicable following the effective date of any
                           transfer made as provided in paragraph VIII hereof,
                           the Trustee shall pay to an Income Fund Manager a
                           sum equal to the sum so credited to the member's
                           subaccount.

                   (b)     The Trustee periodically shall credit to the
                           appropriate Income Fund subaccount of such member
                           proportionate amounts of any increases in the total
                           amount credited to the account of the Trustee under
                           the applicable Income Fund Contract (other than
                           increases due to payments by the Trustee to the
                           Income Fund Manager).

                   (c)     In the event that the total amount credited at any
                           time to the account of the Trustee under the
                           applicable Income Fund Contract is reduced for any
                           reason (other than by reason of payments by the
                           Income Fund Manager to the Trustee for distributions
                           to or withdrawals by members pursuant to the Plan),
                           the Trustee shall reduce the total amount credited
                           to the Income Fund subaccount or subaccounts of each
                           member by a proportionate amount.

                   (d)     Cash credited to members' subaccounts in the Income
                           Fund shall be distributed to members or may be
                           withdrawn or transferred by members only in
                           accordance with paragraphs VIII, X, XI, and XII
                           hereof.

                   (e)     The Company shall enter into one or more Income Fund
                           Contracts with one or more insurance companies or

                           organizations to the extent that such Income Fund
                           Contracts are available for members electing the
                           Income Fund option provided in this subparagraph 1
                           of paragraph XIII.

          2.       Index Fund.

                   The Trustee shall establish and administer the Index Fund in
                   accordance with the following:

                   (a)     Transfer to Common Stock Fund.

                           Effective immediately following the close of
                           business on November 30, 1988, the Trustee shall
                           transfer to the Common Stock Fund all assets of the
                           Index Fund that have not previously been transferred
                           pursuant to paragraph VIII hereof.  The Trustee
                           shall make appropriate adjustments in the accounts
                           of members to reflect such investment of Index Fund
                           assets in the Common Stock Fund in accordance with
                           subparagraph 4 of this paragraph XIII.  Thereafter,
                           no further investments shall be made of
                           contributions or assets of any kind in the Index
                           Fund, and the Index Fund shall no longer be
                           available as an investment election under the Plan.

          3.       Current Interest Fund.

                   The Trustee shall establish and manage the Current Interest
                   Fund in accordance with the following:

                   (a)     For each member who elects pursuant to paragraph VII
                           to have Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions invested
                           in the Current Interest Fund or for whom a transfer
                           is made as provided in paragraph VIII, the Trustee
                           shall establish a Current Interest Fund subaccount
                           or subaccounts, which shall be parts of the member's
                           account under the Plan, and shall credit to such
                           subaccounts the sums so to be invested or
                           transferred under such member's election or
                           elections.  As soon as practicable following receipt
                           of any Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions to be
                           invested in the Current Interest Fund and as soon as
                           practicable following the effective date of any
                           transfer made as provided in paragraph VIII, the
                           Trustee shall invest in the Current Interest Fund a
                           sum equal to the sum so credited to the appropriate
                           subaccount of the member.

                   (b)     Investments.

                           The Trustee shall invest the Tax-Efficient Savings
                           Contributions, and earnings thereon, received for
                           the accounts of members who elect to invest in the
                           Current Interest Fund according to the advice of the
                           Current Interest Fund Advisor, such assets to be
                           invested in money market obligations or the
                           equivalent thereof, with the goal of maximization of
                           current income to the extent consistent with the
                           preservation of capital, such investments to be made
                           in debt obligations consisting of marketable
                           securities issued by the United States Government or
                           its agencies or instrumentalities, domestic bank
                           certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances and
                           high grade commercial paper and other money market
                           obligations or the equivalent thereof, of a quality
                           comparable to the foregoing.  Securities may be sold
                           without regard to the length of time they have been
                           held.  Investments shall be subject to such
                           additional restrictions as from time to time shall
                           be provided in the agreement designating or
                           appointing the Current Interest Fund Advisor.

                   (c)     The Trustee periodically shall credit to the
                           appropriate Current Interest Fund subaccount of such
                           member proportionate amounts of any increases in
                           the total value of the Current Interest Fund (other
                           than increases due to increases in the amount of
                           contributions invested in, or amounts transferred
                           to, the Current Interest Fund).

                   (d)     In the event that the total value of the Current
                           Interest Fund is reduced for any reason (other than
                           by reason of distributions to or withdrawals or
                           transfers by members pursuant to the Plan), the
                           Trustee shall reduce the total amount credited to
                           the Current Interest Fund subaccount or subaccounts
                           of each member by a proportionate amount.

                   (e)     Cash credited to members' subaccounts in the Current
                           Interest Fund shall be distributed to members or may
                           be withdrawn or transferred by members only in
                           accordance with paragraphs VIII, X, XI and XII
                           hereof.

                   (f)     Current Interest Fund Value.

                           The term "Value" as used herein shall mean the value
                           in money of the net assets in the Current Interest
                           Fund.  The Current Interest Fund Value shall be
                           determined each valuation date.  Valuation dates
                           shall be the last day of each month, if such day is
                           a trading day of the New

                           York Stock Exchange next preceding such day, if such
                           day is not a trading day of the New York Stock
                           Exchange.  Current Interest Fund Values shall be
                           determined before giving effect to any distribution
                           or withdrawal and before crediting contributions or
                           transfers to members' accounts effective as of any
                           valuation date.  The Value of the Current Interest
                           Fund shall be computed as follows:

                           (i)      Securities listed on a national stock
                                    exchange shall be valued at the closing
                                    price on the valuation date, or, if no
                                    sales were made on that date, at the
                                    closing price on the next preceding day on
                                    which sales were made, in either case as
                                    reported in the Composite Quotation
                                    Listing.

                           (ii)     Securities traded only in over-the-counter
                                    markets shall be valued at the mean of the
                                    closing bid prices as listed in a
                                    publication or publications selected by the
                                    Trustee for the valuation date, or the next
                                    preceding day for which such prices are
                                    available, if not available for the
                                    valuation date.

                           (iii)    All other assets of the Current Interest
                                    Fund shall be valued at the fair market
                                    value as of the close of business on the
                                    valuation date.  Fair market value shall be
                                    determined by the Trustee in the reasonable
                                    exercise of its discretion, taking into
                                    account values supplied by a generally
                                    accepted pricing or quotation service or
                                    quotations furnished by one or more
                                    reputable sources, such as securities
                                    dealers, brokers, or investment bankers,
                                    values of comparable property, appraisals
                                    or other relevant information.

                           (iv)     Investment transactions, income and any
                                    expenses chargeable to the Current Interest
                                    Fund will be accounted for on an accrual
                                    basis.

                   (g)     Registered Name.

                           Securities held in the Current Interest Fund may be
                           registered in the name of the Trustee or its nominee.

                   The Trustee shall establish and administer the Common Stock
                   Fund in accordance with the following:

                   (a)     Investments.

                           For each member who elects pursuant to paragraph VII
                           to have Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions invested
                           in the Common Stock Fund or for whom a transfer is
                           made to the Common Stock Fund as provided in
                           paragraph VIII hereof or subparagraph 2 of this
                           paragraph XIII, the Trustee shall invest the sums so
                           to be invested or transferred in accordance with
                           instructions of a person, company, corporation or
                           other organization appointed by the Company.  The
                           Trustee may be appointed for such purpose.

                           Investments shall be made with the objective of
                           providing investment results that closely correspond
                           to the price and yield performance of the publicly
                           traded common stocks (i) of the 500 corporations
                           included in Standard and Poor's 500 Index and (ii)
                           of the corporations having capitalizations of at
                           least $100 million as publicly reported from time to
                           time and not included in the Standard & Poor's 500
                           Index.  Assets shall be invested in the common stock
                           of each of such corporations in the same percentage
                           weighting as the capitalization of such corporation
                           is as a percentage of the total of the
                           capitalizations of all of such corporations.

                           Investments of all or a portion of Common Stock Fund
                           assets may be made in any common, collective or
                           commingled fund when, in the opinion of the Trustee,
                           such investments are consistent with the objective
                           of the Common Stock Fund.  A portion of the funds of
                           the Common Stock Fund may be held in cash or
                           invested in short-term obligations when deemed
                           advisable by the Trustee.  Securities may be sold
                           without regard to the length of time they have been
                           held.  A different market index of publicly traded
                           common stocks may be selected by the Company for
                           investments of Common Stock Fund assets in the event
                           Standard & Poor's Corporation discontinues its 500
                           Index or for other reasons.

                   (b)     Common Stock Fund Units.

                           Members shall have no ownership in any particular
                           asset of the Common Stock Fund.  The Trustee shall
                           be the sole owner of all Common Stock Fund assets.

                           expressed in Common Stock Fund Units.  All Common
                           Stock Fund Units shall be of equal value and no
                           Common Stock Fund Unit shall have priority or
                           preference over any other.  Common Stock Fund Units
                           shall be credited by the Trustee to accounts of
                           members as of each valuation date.

                   (c)     Common Stock Fund Unit Prices.

                           herein, shall mean the value in money of an
                           individual Common Stock Fund Unit expressed to the
                           nearest cent.  The Common Stock Fund Unit Price as
                           of November 30, 1988 shall be such amount as the
                           Committee shall determine.  The number of Common
                           Stock Fund Units as of November 30, 1988 shall be
                           determined by dividing the total amounts received by
                           the Trustee pursuant to subparagraph 2 of paragraph
                           XIII hereof for investment in the Common Stock Fund
                           by such Common Stock Fund Unit Price.  Thereafter,
                           the Common Stock Unit Price shall be redetermined
                           each valuation date.  Valuation dates shall be the
                           last day of each month, if such day is a trading day
                           of the New York Stock Exchange, or the trading day
                           of the New York Stock Exchange next preceding such
                           day, if such day is not a trading day of the New
                           York Stock Exchange.  The Common Stock Fund Unit
                           Price for each valuation date shall be determined by
                           dividing the net asset value of the Common Stock
                           Fund on such valuation date by the number of Common
                           Stock Fund Units outstanding on such valuation
                           date.  Common Stock Fund Unit Prices shall be
                           determined before giving effect to any distribution
                           or withdrawal and before crediting contributions to
                           members' accounts effective as of any valuation
                           date.  Net asset value of the Common Stock Fund
                           shall be computed as follows:

                           (i)      Securities listed on a national stock
                                    exchange shall be valued at the closing

                                    sales were made on that date, at the
                                    closing price on the next preceding day on
                                    which sales were made, in either case as
                                    reported in the Composite Quotation
                                    Listing.

                                    markets shall be valued at the mean of the

                                    publication or publications selected by the
                                    Trustee for the valuation date, or the next
                                    preceding day for which such prices are

                                    Fair market value shall be determined by
                                    the Trustee in the reasonable exercise of
                                    its discretion, taking into account values
                                    supplied by a generally accepted pricing or

                                    thereto as practicable.

                           (iv)     Common Stock Fund Units credited to

                                    distributed shall be valued at the Common
                                    Stock Fund Unit Price for the valuation

                           Investments shall be made with the objective of
                           providing investment results that closely correspond
                           to the price and yield performance of the Lehman
                           Brothers Aggregate Index (formerly called the

                           notes and bonds and mortgage-backed securities and
                           other securities that, in the aggregate, typify the
                           securities that are included in the Lehman Aggregate
                           Index.

                           Investments of all or a portion of Bond Fund assets
                           may be made in any common, collective or commingled

                           when, in the opinion of the Trustee or the person,
                           company, corporation or other organization appointed
                           by the Company to manage all or a portion of the
                           Bond Fund, such investments are consistent with the
                           objective of the Bond Fund.  To the extent that
                           assets are so invested, they shall be subject to the
                           terms and conditions of the Declaration of Trust of
                           such common, collective or commingled fund, as
                           amended from time to time.  A portion of the funds
                           of the Bond Fund may be held in cash or invested in
                           short-term obligations when deemed advisable by the
                           Trustee or the person, company, corporation or other
                           organization appointed by the Company to manage all
                           or a portion of the Bond Fund.  Securities may be
                           sold without regard to the length of time they have
                           been held.  A different market index of publicly
                           traded fixed income securities may be selected by
                           the Company for investments of Bond Fund assets in
                           the event the Lehman Aggregate Index is discontinued
                           or for other reasons.

                   (b)     Bond Fund Units.

                           Members shall have no ownership in any particular
                           asset of the Bond Fund.  The Trustee shall be the
                           sole owner of all Bond Fund assets.  Proportionate
                           interests in the Bond Fund shall be expressed in
                           Bond Fund Units.  All Bond Fund Units shall be of
                           equal value and no Bond Fund Unit shall have
                           priority or preference over any other.  Bond Fund
                           Units shall be credited by the Trustee to accounts
                           of members as of each valuation date.

                   (c)     Bond Fund Unit Prices.

                           The term "Bond Fund Unit Price," as used herein,
                           shall mean the value in money of an individual Bond
                           Fund Unit expressed to the nearest cent.  The Bond
                           Fund Unit Price as of January 31, 1994 shall be such
                           amount as the Committee shall determine.  The number
                           of Bond Fund Units as of January 31, 1994 shall be
                           determined by dividing the total amounts received by
                           the Trustee pursuant to paragraphs VII and VIII
                           hereof for investment in the Bond Fund for the month
                           of January 1994 by such Bond Fund Unit Price.
                           Thereafter, the Bond Fund Unit Price shall be
                           redetermined each valuation date.  Valuation dates
                           shall be the last day of each month, if such day is
                           a day on which Federal Reserve Banks are open for
                           trading, or the day next preceding such day on which
                           Federal Reserve Banks are open for 




                                       28

                           trading, if such day is not a day on which Federal 
                           Reserve Banks are open for trading.  The Bond
                           Fund Unit Price for each valuation date shall be
                           determined by dividing the net asset value of the
                           Bond Fund on such valuation date by the number of
                           Bond Fund Units outstanding on such valuation date. 
                           Bond Fund Unit Prices shall be determined before
                           giving effect to any distribution or withdrawal and
                           before crediting contributions to members' accounts
                           effective as of any valuation date.  Net asset value
                           of the Bond Fund shall be computed as follows:

                            (i)     All assets of the Bond Fund, including any
                                    interest in a common, collective or
                                    commingled fund, shall be valued at the
                                    fair market value as of the close of
                                    business on the valuation date.  Fair
                                    market value shall be determined by the
                                    Trustee in the reasonable exercise of its
                                    discretion, taking into account values
                                    supplied by a generally accepted pricing or
                                    quotation service or quotations furnished
                                    by one or more reputable sources, such as
                                    securities dealers, brokers, or investment
                                    bankers, values of comparable property,
                                    appraisals or other relevant information
                                    and, in the case of a common, collective or
                                    commingled fund, fair market value shall be
                                    the unit value of such fund for a date the
                                    same as the valuation date, or as close
                                    thereto as practicable.

                           (ii)     Bond Fund Units credited to members'
                                    accounts with respect to Tax-Efficient
                                    Savings Contributions made during any month
                                    shall be credited at the Bond Fund Unit
                                    Price determined as of the valuation date
                                    for the end of the month for which such
                                    contributions were made.  Bond Fund Units
                                    withdrawn or distributed shall be valued at
                                    the Bond Fund Unit Price for the valuation
                                    date coinciding with the effective date of
                                    such withdrawal or distribution.

                         (iii)      Investment transactions, income and any
                                    expenses chargeable to the Bond Fund will
                                    be accounted for on an accrual basis.

                   (d)   Distribution and Withdrawal From Bond Fund.

                           The cash value of Bond Fund Units shall be 
                           distributed to members or may be withdrawn by 
                           members only in





                                       29
<PAGE>   30

                           accordance with paragraphs X and XII hereof.  All 
                           distributions and withdrawals shall be only in cash.

                   (e)     Registered Name.

                           Securities held in the Bond Fund may be registered 
                           in the name of the Trustee or its nominee.

XIV.  MEMBER'S SEMIANNUAL STATEMENT.

          As soon as practicable after June 30 and December 31 of each year,
          there shall be furnished to each member a statement as of June 30 and
          December 31 of such year of the securities, cash, Common Stock Fund
          Units and Bond Fund Units in his or her account and the Common Stock
          Fund Unit Price and Bond Fund Unit Price as of the midyear and
          year-end valuation dates, respectively.  Such statements shall be
          deemed to have been accepted by the member and his or her
          beneficiaries designated hereunder as correct unless written notice
          to the contrary shall be received by the Company within 30 days after
          the mailing of such statement to the member.

XV.  NOTICES, ETC.

          All notices, statements and other communications from the Trustee or
          a Participating Company to an employee, member or designated
          beneficiary required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed to have
          been duly given, furnished, delivered or transmitted, as the case may
          be, when delivered to (or when mailed by first-class mail, postage
          prepaid and addressed to) the employee, member or beneficiary at his
          or her address last appearing on the books of such Participating
          Company or, in the case of an employee, delivered to the employee at
          his or her normal work station.

          All notices, instructions and other communications from an employee
          or member to the Company or Trustee required or permitted hereunder
          (including, without limitation, authorizations, Tax-Efficient Savings
          agreements and terminations thereof, investment and other elections,
          requests for withdrawal or loans and designations of beneficiaries
          and revocations and changes thereof) shall be in the respective forms
          from time to time prescribed therefor by the Committee, shall be
          mailed by first-class mail or delivered to such location as shall be
          specified in regulations or upon the forms prescribed by the
          Committee and shall be deemed to have been duly given and delivered
          upon receipt by the Company or Trustee, as the case may be, at such
          location.

          From time to time as necessary to facilitate the administration of
          the Plan and the trust created thereunder, the Company, the Trustee





                                       30
<PAGE>   31
          and the Committee shall deliver to each other copies or
          consolidations of such notices, instructions or other communications
          in respect of the Plan or such trust as it may receive from
          employees, members or beneficiaries.

XVI.  TRUSTEE.

          The Company shall appoint one or more individuals or corporations to
          act as Trustee under the Plan, and at any time may remove the Trustee
          and appoint a successor Trustee.  The Company may, without reference
          to or action by any employee, member or beneficiary or any other
          Participating Company, enter into such Trust Agreement with the
          Trustee and from time to time enter into such further agreements with
          the Trustee or other parties, make such amendments to such Trust
          Agreement or further agreements and take such other steps and execute
          such other instruments as the Company in its sole discretion may deem
          necessary or desirable to carry the Plan into effect or to facilitate
          its administration.

          The Trustee and the Company may by mutual agreement in writing
          arrange for the delegation by the Trustee to the Committee of any of
          the functions of the Trustee, except the custody of assets, the
          voting of Company stock held by the Trustee and the purchase and sale
          or redemption of securities.

XVII.  PURCHASES OF SECURITIES BY THE TRUSTEE.

          Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions and earnings thereon in the
          accounts of members shall be invested by the Trustee as soon as
          practicable after receipt thereof by the Trustee, subject to the
          following provisions of this paragraph XVII and, in the case of funds
          to be invested in Common Stock Fund securities or in Current Interest
          Fund securities or in Bond Fund securities, paragraph XIII.

          Any current cash balance in a member's account after the investing of
          contributions for the last pay period of a plan year shall be
          invested at such time and to such extent as the Trustee may elect.
          At any time or from time to time, the Committee may adopt such
          regulations or practices as it may deem appropriate with respect to
          the minimum fractional interest in a share of Company stock, in a
          Common Stock Fund Unit and in a Bond Fund Unit in which the cash in a
          member's account shall be invested.

          The shares of Company stock from time to time required for purposes
          of the Plan shall be purchased by the Trustee from the Company, or
          from such other person or corporation, on such stock exchange or in
          such other manner, as the Company by action of its Board of Directors
          or any committee or person designated by the Board of





                                       31
<PAGE>   32

          Directors, from time to time in its sole discretion may designate or
          prescribe; provided, however, that the Trustee at all times may
          purchase such shares from members who have agreed to sell the same to
          the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of paragraph X and paragraph
          XII, and provided further that the Trustee at all times may use for
          purposes of the Plan such shares as are removed from a member's
          account pursuant to the member's election to have an amount equal to
          the value of such shares transferred pursuant to paragraph VIII
          hereof, and the Trustee shall treat such shares as having been
          purchased by it at a price equal to such amount, and provided further
          that except as required by any such designation by the Board of
          Directors, such shares shall be purchased by the Trustee from such
          source and in such manner as the Trustee from time to time in its
          sole discretion may determine.  Any shares so purchased from the
          Company may be either treasury stock or newly-issued stock, and shall
          be purchased at a price per share equal to the average of the highest
          price and the lowest price at which shares of Company stock are sold
          on the date of purchase or, if no such sales were made on such date,
          on the next preceding day on which there were such sales, in either
          case as reported in the Composite Quotation Listing.  All funds in
          the accounts of the several members that become available
          simultaneously for investment in Company stock may be invested
          simultaneously or over a period of time, but funds that become
          available first shall be invested first.  If such funds that become
          available simultaneously for investment are used to purchase shares
          of Company stock at more than one price, the total number of shares
          so purchased shall be allocated on a full or fractional share basis,
          or both, as the case may be, to the respective accounts of the
          members ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of funds in
          their accounts so used.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
          not invest any of the funds in the members' accounts in any shares of
          Company stock, unless at the time of purchase thereof by the Trustee
          such shares shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

          The shares of Company stock held by the Trustee under the Plan shall
          be registered in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, but shall
          not be voted by the Trustee or such nominee except as provided in
          paragraph XVIII hereof.

          In the sole discretion of the Trustee, investments in Company stock
          in respect of the accounts of more than one member may be represented
          by a single certificate.

          In the event that any option, right or warrant shall be received by
          the Trustee on Company stock to the credit of one or more members'
          accounts, the Trustee shall sell the same, at public or private sale





                                       32
<PAGE>   33
          and at such price and upon such other terms as it may determine, and
          credit the proceeds thereof to the respective accounts of such
          members, ratably in accordance with their interests therein, unless
          the Committee shall determine that such option, right or warrant
          should be exercised, in which case the Trustee shall exercise the
          same upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe.

XVIII.  VOTING OF COMPANY STOCK.

          The Trustee, itself or by its nominee, shall be entitled to vote, and
          shall vote, shares of Company stock in the accounts of members or
          otherwise held by the Trustee under the Plan as follows:

          1.       The Company shall adopt reasonable measures to notify the
                   member of the date and purposes of each meeting of
                   stockholders of the Company at which holders of shares of
                   Company stock shall be entitled to vote, and to request
                   instructions from the member to the Trustee as to the voting
                   at such meeting of full shares of Company stock and
                   fractions thereof in any account of the member.

          2.       In each case, the Trustee, itself or by proxy, shall vote
                   full shares of Company stock and fractions thereof in such
                   account of the member in accordance with the instructions of
                   the member.

          3.       If prior to the time of such meeting of stockholders the
                   Trustee shall not have received instructions from the member
                   in respect of any shares of Company stock in such account of
                   the member, and if the Trustee otherwise holds shares of
                   Company stock under the Plan, the Trustee shall vote thereat
                   such shares proportionately in the same manner as the
                   Trustee votes thereat the aggregate of all shares of Company
                   stock with respect to which the Trustee has  received
                   instructions from members.

XIX.      CASH ADJUSTMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS IN SECURITIES.

          Any fractional interest in a share of Company stock or any other
          security, as such, in any account of a member shall not be subject to
          distribution or withdrawal, but the value thereof shall be subject to
          transfer pursuant to paragraph VIII hereof.  Settlement for any
          fractional interest in such security, upon distribution or withdrawal
          thereof, shall be made in cash based on the current market value or
          any applicable current redemption value of such security, as of the
          date of distribution or withdrawal, as the case may be.  The Trustee
          for the purpose of providing cash for settlements pursuant to the
          provisions of this paragraph XIX may in





                                       33
<PAGE>   34

          its discretion obtain such cash from contributions under the Plan.
          In such event the Trustee, with respect to the shares of Company
          stock which otherwise would have been sold to provide cash for such
          settlements, shall retain and reallocate interest in the same among
          the accounts of members in the Plan entitled thereto and at the
          current market value of such shares for purposes of such cash
          settlements.

XX.  OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION.

          Pursuant to ERISA the Company shall be the sole named fiduciary with
          respect to the Plan and shall have authority to control and manage
          the operation and administration of the Plan.

          The Vice President-Employee Relations, the Vice President-Finance and
          Treasurer and the Vice President-General Counsel shall have the
          authority, on behalf of the Company, to appoint and remove trustees
          under the Plan, to approve policies relating to the allocation of
          contributions and the distribution of assets among trustees, and to
          approve Plan amendments other than Plan amendments relating to the
          offering of Company stock as an investment election which amendments
          shall be made by the Board of Directors.

          The Vice President-Finance and Treasurer shall be authorized on
          behalf of the Company to contract with the trustees under the Plan
          and to determine the form and terms of the trust agreements, to
          allocate contributions and distribute assets among trustees, and to
          appoint an auditor under the Plan, and shall have authority to
          designate other persons to carry out specific responsibilities in
          connection therewith; provided, however, that such actions shall be
          consistent with ERISA, the policy of the Board of Directors and
          officers designated in the preceding subparagraph and the Plan.

          Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph XX or elsewhere in the
          Plan, the Vice President-Employee Relations and the Vice
          President-Finance and Treasurer are designated to carry out the
          Company's responsibilities with respect to the Plan, including,
          without limitation, appointment and removal of members of the
          Committee and determination of prior service for eligibility purposes
          under the Plan in the event of acquisition by a Participating Company
          (by purchase, merger, or otherwise) of all or part of the assets of
          another corporation.  The Vice President-Employee Relations and the
          Vice President-Finance and Treasurer may allocate responsibilities
          between themselves and may designate other persons to carry out
          specific responsibilities on behalf of the Company.





                                       34
<PAGE>   35
          Any Company director, officer or employee who shall have been
          expressly designated pursuant to the Plan to carry out specific
          Company responsibilities shall be acting on behalf of the Company.
          Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one capacity
          with respect to the Plan and may employ one or more persons to render
          advice with regard to any responsibilities such person has under the
          Plan.

          The Company shall create a Tax-Efficient Savings Plan Committee
          consisting of at least three members.  The Company shall from time to
          time designate the members of the Committee and an alternate for each
          of such members, who shall have full power to act in the absence or
          inability to act of such member.  The Committee shall appoint its own
          Chairman and Secretary, and shall act by a majority of its members,
          with or without a meeting.  The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
          of the Company shall from time to time notify the Trustee of the
          appointment of members of the Committee and alternates and of the
          appointment of the Chairman and Secretary of the Committee, upon
          which notices the Trustee shall be entitled to rely.

          The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer the
          Plan and to interpret its provisions.  Any interpretation of the
          provisions of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and
          conclusive, and shall bind and may be relied upon by the several
          Participating Companies, each of their employees, the Trustee and all
          other parties in interest.

          No member of the Committee or alternate for a member or director,
          officer or employee of any Participating Company shall be liable for
          any action or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan,
          except for his or her own bad faith; provided, however, that nothing
          herein shall be deemed to relieve any such person from responsibility
          or liability for any obligation or duty under ERISA.  Each director,
          officer, or employee of the Company who is or shall have been
          designated to act on behalf of the Company and each person who is or
          shall have been a member of the Committee or an alternate for a
          member or a director, officer or employee of any Participating
          Company, as such, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
          Company against and from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense
          that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in
          connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
          proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she
          may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under
          the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her
          in settlement thereof (with the Company's written approval) or paid
          by him or her in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit
          or proceeding, except a judgment in favor of the





                                       35
<PAGE>   36

          Company based upon a finding of his or her bad faith; subject,
          however, to the condition that, upon the assertion or institution of
          any such claim, action, suit or proceeding against him or her, he or
          she shall in writing give the Company an opportunity, at its own
          expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to
          handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.  The foregoing right
          of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right to which
          such person may be entitled as a matter of law or otherwise, or any
          power that a Participating Company may have to indemnify him or her
          or hold him or her harmless.

          Brokerage commissions, fees and transfer taxes incurred in connection
          with the purchase or sale of Company stock shall be paid by the
          Company. Brokerage commissions and transfer taxes on the purchase and
          sale of Common Stock Fund securities shall be paid from Common Stock
          Fund assets by the Trustee, and the expenses of any collective,
          common, or commingled fund in which Common Stock Fund assets may be
          invested pursuant to subparagraph 4 of paragraph XIII hereof shall be
          paid from the assets in such collective, common or commingled fund.
          Brokerage commissions and transfer taxes on the purchase and sale of
          Bond Fund securities and the expenses of the Bond Fund including,
          without limitation, investment management fees shall be paid from
          Bond Fund assets, and the expenses of any collective, common, or
          commingled fund in which Bond Fund assets may be invested pursuant to
          subparagraph 5 of paragraph XIII hereof shall be paid from the assets
          in such collective, common or commingled fund.  Earnings credited to
          the account of the Trustee under any Income Fund Contract may be net
          of such charges by the Income Fund Manager as may be provided in such
          contract.  Earnings credited to the account of the Trustee under the
          Bond Fund shall be net of such charges by the Bond Fund Manager as
          may be provided in such contract.  Brokerage commissions and transfer
          taxes on the purchase and sale of Current Interest Fund securities
          shall be paid from Current Interest Fund assets by the Trustee.  All
          other expenses of administration of the Plan, including expenses
          charged or incurred by the Trustee or the Company, shall be borne by
          the Company.  Taxes, if any, on any security, cash, Common Stock Fund
          Units or Bond Fund Units held by the Trustee or income therefrom
          which are payable by the Trustee shall be charged against the
          members' accounts as the Trustee and the Committee shall determine.

          Each employee at the time of electing to participate in the Plan
          shall be given a copy of the Plan as in effect at the time, and as a
          condition of membership shall sign an instrument in form prescribed
          by the Committee evidencing the fact that he or she accepts and
          agrees to all provisions of the Plan.

          The records of the Trustee, the Committee and the several Partici-
          pating Companies shall be conclusive in respect of all matters
          involved in the administration of the Plan.

          The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the 
          laws of the State of Michigan.

XXI.  TERMINATION, SUSPENSION AND MODIFICATION.

          The Company, by action of its Board of Directors or officers
          designated under paragraph XX hereof, may terminate or modify the
          Plan or suspend the operation of any provision of the Plan, as
          follows:

          1.       The Company may terminate the Plan at any time or may at any
                   time or from time to time modify the Plan, in its entirety
                   or in respect of the employees of one or more of the
                   Participating Companies.  The Company may at any time or
                   from time to time terminate or modify the Plan or suspend
                   for any period the operation of any provision thereof, in
                   respect of any employees located in one or more States or
                   countries, if in the judgment of the Committee compliance
                   with the laws of such State or country would involve
                   disproportionate expense and inconvenience to a
                   Participating Company. Any such modification that affects
                   the rights or duties of the Trustee may be made only with
                   the consent of the Trustee.  Any such termination,
                   modification or suspension of the Plan may affect members in
                   the Plan at the time thereof, as well as future members, but
                   may not affect the rights of a member as to the continuance
                   of investment, distribution or withdrawal of the securities,
                   cash, cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash
                   value of the Bond Fund Units in the account or accounts of
                   the member as of the effective date of such termination,
                   modification or suspension and earnings thereon; provided,
                   however, that the Company may, in the event of a termination
                   of the Plan, direct the Trustee to distribute the assets in
                   the accounts of members in the Plan to such members.  Any
                   termination or modification of the Plan or suspension of any
                   provision thereof shall be effective as of such date as the
                   Company may determine, but not earlier than the date on
                   which the Company shall give notice of such termination,
                   modification or suspension to the Trustee and to the
                   Participating Companies any of the employees of which are
                   affected thereby.

          2.       The provisions of the foregoing subparagraph 1
                   notwithstanding, the Company, by action of its Vice
                   President-Employee Relations, Vice President-Finance and
                   Treasurer and





                                       37
<PAGE>   38

                   Vice President-General Counsel, at any time or from time to
                   time may modify any of the provisions of the Plan in any
                   respect retroactively, if and to the extent necessary or
                   appropriate in the judgment of such officers of the Company
                   to qualify or maintain the Plan and the trust fund
                   established thereunder as a plan and trust meeting the
                   requirements of Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal
                   Revenue Code of 1986, as now in effect or hereafter amended,
                   or any other applicable provisions of Federal tax laws or
                   other legislation, as now in effect or hereafter amended or
                   adopted, and the regulations thereunder at the time in
                   effect.

          3.       Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no such
                   termination or modification of the Plan or suspension of any
                   provision thereof may diminish the securities, cash, cash
                   value of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash value of the
                   Bond Fund Units in the account of a member as of the
                   effective date of such termination, modification or
                   suspension.

          4.       In the event of any merger or consolidation with, or
                   transfer of assets or liabilities to, any other plan, each
                   employee member, former employee, former member, beneficiary
                   or estate eligible under the Plan shall, if the Plan is then
                   terminated, receive a benefit immediately after the merger,
                   consolidation or transfer, which is equal to the benefit he
                   or she would have been entitled to receive immediately
                   before the merger, consolidation or transfer if the Plan had
                   then terminated.

XXII.  CONDITIONS ON PARTICIPATION OF SUBSIDIARIES OF THE COMPANY.

          The consent of the Company to the participation in the Plan of any
          subsidiary of the Company may be conditioned upon such provisions as
          the Company may prescribe, including, without limitation, conditions
          as to (a) the instruments to be executed and delivered by such
          Participating Company to the Trustee, (b) the extent to which the
          Company shall act as representative of such Participating Company
          under the Plan, and (c) the rights of such Participating Company to
          withdraw from participation in the Plan and the effect of such
          withdrawal upon the memberships and accounts in the Plan of employees
          of such Participating Company.

XXIII.  MEMBER'S RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE.

          No right or interest of any member under the Plan or in his or her
          account shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part,
          either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including,
          without limitation, by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment,
          pledge or in any other manner, except in accord with provisions of a





                                       38
<PAGE>   39
          qualified domestic relations order as defined by section 414(p) of
          the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and section 206(d) of ERISA and
          further excluding devolution by death or mental incompetency; no
          attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no
          right or interest of any member under the Plan or in his or her
          account shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or
          liability of such member.

XXIV.  DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES.

          (1)      A member may file with the Company a written designation of
                   a beneficiary or beneficiaries with respect to all or part
                   of the assets in the member's account.  In the case of a
                   married member who dies, the securities, cash, cash value of
                   the Common Stock Fund Units and cash value of the Bond Fund
                   Units in such member's account shall be delivered to such
                   member's surviving spouse unless the written designation of
                   beneficiary designating a person or persons other than the
                   spouse with respect to all or part of the assets in the
                   member's account includes the written consent of the spouse,
                   witnessed by a notary public.  A member, with, if married,
                   such written consent of the spouse, may from time to time
                   revoke or change any such designation of beneficiary.

          (2)      In the case of an unmarried member who does not file a
                   written designation of beneficiary, such member shall be
                   deemed to have designated as beneficiary or beneficiaries
                   under the Plan the person or persons who are entitled in the
                   event of the member's death to receive the proceeds under
                   the Company's Group Life and Disability Insurance Program if
                   the member is covered under such Program at the date of his
                   death.

          (3)      In the event of the death of a member, any of the
                   securities, cash, cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units
                   and cash value of the Bond Fund Units in his or her account
                   under the Plan shall be delivered to, as applicable, such
                   spouse or beneficiaries who shall survive the member, in
                   accordance with the applicable designation (to the extent
                   effective and enforceable at the time of the member's death)
                   and the provisions of the Plan, subject to such regulations
                   as the Committee from time to time may prescribe in respect
                   of distributions to minors; provided, however, that if the
                   Trustee or the Committee shall be in doubt as to the right
                   of any such person to receive any of such securities, cash,
                   cash value of the Common Stock Fund Units and cash value of
                   the Bond Fund Units, the Trustee may deliver the same to the
                   estate of the member, in which case the Trustee, the several
                   Participating Companies and the Committee and the several





                                       39
<PAGE>   40

                   members thereof and alternates for members shall not be
                   under any further liability to anyone.  Except as
                   hereinabove provided, in the event of the death of a member,
                   the securities, cash, cash value of the Common Stock Fund
                   Units and cash value of the Bond Fund Units in his or her
                   account under the Plan shall be delivered to his or her
                   estate.

XXV.      LIMITATION ON CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER SECTION 415 OF THE
          INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the amount of any
          Tax-Efficient Savings Contributions shall not exceed the applicable
          limits set by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code and the
          regulations thereunder.  Additionally, the combined limitation of
          section 415(e) of the Internal Revenue Code will be administered so
          that a member's defined benefit plan fraction and defined
          contribution plan fraction will not exceed 1.0 in any limitation year
          and will be accomplished by reducing the rate of benefit accruals
          under the defined benefit plan so that the sum of the fractions
          equals 1.0.

XXVI.  TRANSFER OF ASSETS TO THE PLAN.

          Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, and subject to such
          regulations and procedures as the Committee may prescribe, assets may
          be transferred to the Plan from the Tax Reduction Act Stock Ownership
          Plan for Hourly Employees in the United States or the Tax Reduction
          Act Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees or any other similar
          plan maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries.  If any cash or
          securities shall be delivered to the Trustee by the trustee under any
          of such plans, effective on or after April 30, 1989, the Trustee
          shall receive and hold such assets in the Plan trust and shall credit
          them to accounts in the Plan for employees on whose behalf such
          assets have been transferred.  Assets received in cash shall be
          invested in the Current Interest Fund.  Thereafter all such assets
          shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan applicable to any
          other assets credited to the accounts of members.

XXVII.  EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN.

          1.       There is hereby established in the Plan an Employee Stock
                   Ownership Plan ("ESOP") effective January 1, 1989.  The ESOP
                   shall consist of all the shares of Company stock in the Plan
                   at any time and from time to time including all the shares
                   allocated to members' accounts and shares held in the
                   suspense account as hereinafter described and all assets
                   attributable to contributions made after December 31, 1988.





                                       40
<PAGE>   41
          2.       The trustee of the ESOP shall be the Trustee of the Plan.
                   The Trustee shall hold, invest, transfer and distribute the
                   shares of Company stock and all other assets in the ESOP in
                   accordance with the provisions of this paragraph XXVII and
                   the Plan.

          3.       (i)        On or after July 13, 1989, the Trustee shall
                              borrow on behalf of the ESOP an amount not
                              exceeding the amount of dividends estimated by
                              the Trustee, after consultation with the Vice
                              President - Finance and Treasurer of the Company,
                              to be paid on Company stock in the ESOP in the
                              twelve-month period succeeding such borrowing by
                              the Trustee, or, on or after July 1, 1991, such
                              period as the Trustee shall select, subject to a
                              guarantee by the Company of payment of any such
                              loan.

                   (ii)       The Trustee is authorized to borrow such amount
                              from such persons, including the Company, as the
                              Trustee shall determine.  The loan shall provide
                              for repayment within the twelve-month period
                              succeeding such loan or, on or after July 1,
                              1991, within such period as the Trustee shall
                              have selected, and shall be payable on such other
                              terms as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall
                              determine.  The interest rate of a loan must not
                              be in excess of a reasonable rate of interest.

                   (iii)      The proceeds of any such loan shall be used by
                              the Trustee to purchase as soon as practicable
                              shares of Company stock in accordance with the
                              provisions of paragraph XVII hereof.  The Trustee
                              is authorized to pledge such stock as security
                              for the payment of such loan.  The loan shall be
                              without recourse against the ESOP.

          4.       The Trustee shall hold the shares of Company stock so
                   purchased in the Plan in a suspense account unallocated to
                   the accounts of members of the Plan until such time as all
                   or part of the related loan and interest thereon is paid as
                   hereinafter provided.  The Trustee shall vote shares of
                   Company stock in the suspense account in its discretion,
                   notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph XVIII hereof.

          5.       The Trustee shall apply all dividends paid on Company stock
                   held in the ESOP, including shares allocated to members'
                   accounts and shares held in the suspense account, to payment





                                       41
<PAGE>   42

                   of any loan made in accordance with subparagraph 3
                   hereof and interest thereon.

                   In the event that dividends paid on all Company stock held
                   in the ESOP are not sufficient to enable the Trustee to make
                   any payment on any loan made in accordance with subparagraph
                   3 hereof, the Trustee shall sell shares of Company stock
                   held in the suspense account in an amount necessary to
                   permit such payment provided, however, that the Company may
                   elect to make an additional contribution to the Plan in an
                   amount sufficient to enable the Trustee to make all or part
                   of such payment without selling shares of Company stock held
                   in the suspense account.

                   In the event that dividends paid on all Company stock held
                   in the ESOP and the amount realized from the sale of Company
                   stock held in the suspense account are not sufficient to
                   enable the Trustee to make any payment on any loan made in
                   accordance with subparagraph 3 hereof, the Company shall
                   make an additional contribution to the Plan in an amount
                   sufficient to enable the Trustee to make such payment or
                   shall pay such amount to the lender.

          6.       The shares held in the suspense account shall be released
                   from the suspense account in an amount that bears the same
                   ratio to the total number of shares in the suspense account
                   as the amount of principal and interest paid on the loan
                   bears to the total amount of principal and interest
                   outstanding.  The Trustee shall allocate such shares so
                   released to the accounts of members as if the dividends paid
                   on Company stock with respect to shares held in the accounts
                   of members had been used to acquire shares of Company stock
                   in the open market on the last day of the month preceding
                   the date such shares are released from the suspense account.

                   To the extent that the number of shares released from the
                   suspense account at any time is less than the number that
                   would be required for allocation to members' accounts if the
                   dividends paid on Company stock had been used to acquire
                   shares of Company stock in the open market on the last day
                   of the month preceding the date such shares are released
                   from the suspense account, the Company shall make an
                   additional contribution to the Plan in an amount sufficient
                   to permit the Trustee to acquire additional shares so that
                   the total number of shares allocated to members' accounts

                   dividends paid with respect to Company stock in the accounts

                   market on the last day of the month preceding the date such
                   shares are released from the suspense account.

                   To the extent that the number of shares released from the
                   suspense account at any time exceeds the number that would
                   be required for allocation to members' accounts if the
                   dividends paid on Company stock had been used to acquire
                   shares of Company stock in the open market on the last day
                   of the month preceding the date such shares are released
                   from the suspense account, the excess shall be allocated to
                   the accounts of members in an amount proportional to the
                   number of shares of Company stock in their accounts at the
                   date shares are released from the suspense account.

          7.       Contributions to the ESOP for any eligible employee who is a
                   highly compensated employee shall be limited to the extent
                   required under the principles described in paragraph IV with
                   respect to tax-efficient savings contributions.

          8.       The Committee is authorized to make such adjustments in the
                   administration of the Plan and the ESOP as it deems
                   necessary, appropriate or desirable to carry out the
                   purposes and intents of this paragraph XXVII.

          9.       In the event that any or all of the tax benefits available
                   under the tax laws on the effective date hereof are
                   restricted or eliminated, as determined by the Company, the
                   Trustee is authorized upon direction by the Company to sell
                   upon such terms, at such times and to such persons, as the
                   Trustee in its sole discretion shall determine, any or all
                   of the shares of Company stock in the suspense account and
                   to use the proceeds of such sale to pay all or part of the
                   loan balance outstanding, together with interest thereon.
                   Any excess shares in the suspense account at such time shall
                   be allocated as provided in subparagraph 6 hereto.

<PAGE>   9

Fidelity Mutual Fund credited to the Participant's accounts, together with a

hold cash or other short-term liquid investments.  Such holdings may include
investments in (i) Fidelity Institutional Cash Portfolios: Money Market: Class
A "FICAP", or (ii) such other Mutual Fund or commingled pool as agreed to by
the Company and Master Trustee.  A target percentage and drift allowance for
short-term liquid investments shall be agreed to in writing by the Company and
Master Trustee, and the Master Trustee shall be responsible for ensuring that

time.  The Company shall have the right to direct the Master Trustee as to the
manner in which the Master Trustee is to vote the shares of a mutual fund used
as the liquidity reserve.

<PAGE>   10

         Each participant's proportional interest in the Ford Stock Fund shall
be measured in units of participation, rather than shares of Ford Stock.  Such
units shall represent a proportionate interest in all of the assets of the Ford
Stock Fund, which includes shares of Ford Stock, short-term, liquid investments
and at times, receivables for dividends, interest or Ford Stock sold and
payables for Ford Stock purchased.

         Each day, the Master Trustee shall determine a NAV for each unit
outstanding of the Ford Stock Fund.  The NAV will fluctuate daily and shall be
adjusted by dividends paid on the shares of Ford Stock held by the Ford Stock
Fund, gains or losses realized on sales of Ford Stock, appreciation or
depreciation in the market price of shares owned, and interest on the
short-term investments held by the Ford Stock Fund.  Dividends received by the
Ford Stock Fund shall be reinvested in additional units of the Ford Stock Fund.

         The Master Trustee shall act in accordance with the directions of the
ESOP Trustee as to the proper amount of cash dividends payable on Company Stock
from time to time to be transferred to the ESOP Trustee for the repayment of
the ESOP loan(s) and the number of shares of Company Stock to be transferred
from the ESOP Trustee to the Master Trustee to be allocated to the accounts of
plan participants in the Ford Stock Fund.

         Investments in Ford Stock shall be subject to the following
limitations:

         (i)     Acquisition Limit.  Pursuant to the applicable provisions of
Plans, the Master Trust may be invested in Ford Stock to the extent necessary
to comply with investment directions under Section 4(b)(3) of this Agreement.

         (ii)     Fiduciary Duty of Company.  The Company shall continually
monitor the suitability under the fiduciary duty rules of section 404(a)(1) of
ERISA (as modified by section 404(a)(2) of ERISA) of acquiring and holding Ford
Stock.  The Master Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, or by reason of
any breach, which arises from the provisions of the Plans with respect to the
acquisition and holding of Ford Stock, unless it is clear on their face that
the actions to be taken would be prohibited by the foregoing fiduciary duty
rules or would be contrary to the terms of the Plans or this Agreement.  It
shall be the responsibility of the Company to determine and assure that any
securities which are issued by the Company and which are to be held in the
Master Trust satisfy the definition of Ford Stock. At the request of the Master
Trustee, the Company shall provide a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to
the Master Trustee that any such securities meet the definition of Ford Stock.

         (iii) Execution of Purchases and Sales. (A) Purchases and sales of
Ford Stock shall be made on the open market, or in such other manner as the
Master Trustee shall determine, or if mutually agreed upon between the Company
and the Master Trustee, purchases from the Company shall be transacted at a
price to be mutually agreed upon, and no commission fees shall be charged to
the Ford Stock Fund for such trades.  Exchanges of

                                      -7-

Ford Stock Fund units by participants shall be made in accordance with the
Telephone Exchange Guidelines attached hereto as Schedule "F".

         (iv)    Use of an Affiliated Broker.  The Company hereby directs the
Master Trustee to use FBSI to provide brokerage services in connection with any
purchase or sale of Ford Stock in accordance with directions from Participants.
FBSI shall execute such directions directly or through its affiliate, National
Financial Services Company ("NFSC"), on a best execution basis.  The provision
of brokerage services shall be subject to the following:

                 (a)      As consideration for such brokerage services, the
Company agrees that FBSI shall be entitled to remuneration under this
authorization provision in the amount of 3.5 cents commission from the Company
on each share of Ford Stock, provided that no purchases shall be payable on
transactions with the Company.  Any change in such remuneration may be made
only by a signed agreement between Company and Master Trustee.

                 (b)      Following the procedures set forth in Department of
Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 86-128, the Master Trustee will
provide the Company with the following documents: (1) a description of FBSI's
brokerage placement practices; (2) a copy of PTCE 86-128; and (3) a form by
which the Company may terminate this authorization to use a broker affiliated
with the Master Trustee.  The Master Trustee will provide the Company with this
termination form annually, as well as an annual report which summarizes all
securities transaction-related charges incurred by the Plans, and the Plans'
annualized turnover rate.

                 (c)      Any successor organization of FBSI, through
reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon
consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance
with the terms of this authorization provision.

                 (d)      The Master Trustee and FBSI shall continue to rely on
this authorization provision until notified to the contrary.  The Company
reserves the right to terminate this authorization upon sixty (60) days prior
written notice to FBSI (or its successor) and the Master Trustee.

         (v)      Securities Law Reports.  The Company shall be
responsible for filing all reports required under Federal or state securities
laws with respect to the Master Trust's ownership of Ford Stock, including,
without limitation, any reports required under section 13 or 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except for any such reports which the Master
Trustee is required to file, and shall immediately notify the Master Trustee in
writing of any


                                      -8-
<PAGE>   12

requirement to stop purchases or sales of Ford Stock pending the filing of any
report.  The Master Trustee shall provide to the Company such information on
the Master Trust's ownership of Ford Stock as the Company may reasonably
request in order to comply with Federal or state securities laws.

            (vi)          Voting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement the provisions of this Section shall govern the voting of Ford Stock.
The Company, after consultation with the Master Trustee, shall provide and pay
for all printing, mailing, tabulation and other costs associated with the
voting of Ford Stock.

                (a)  When the Company prepares for any annual meeting, the
Company shall notify the Master Trustee thirty (30) days in advance of
the intended record date and shall cause a copy of all proxy solicitation 
materials to be sent to the Master Trustee.  Based on these materials the 
Master Trustee shall prepare a voting instruction form.  At the time of 
mailing of notice of each annual or special stockholders' meeting of the 
issuer of the Ford Stock, the Master Trustee shall cause a copy of the notice 
and all proxy solicitation materials to be sent to each Participant, together 
with the foregoing voting instruction form to be returned to the Master 
Trustee or its designee.  The form shall show the number of full and fractional
shares of Ford Stock attributable to the Participant's interest in the Ford 
Stock Fund.

                (b)  Each Participant shall have the right to direct the Master
Trustee as to the manner in which the Master Trustee is to vote that number of
shares of Ford Stock attributable to the Participant's interest in the Ford
Stock Fund.  Directions from a Participant to the Master Trustee concerning the
voting of Ford Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by mailgram or
similar means as determined by the Master Trustee.  These directions shall be
held in confidence by the Master Trustee and shall not be divulged to the
Company, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person.  Upon its
receipt of the directions, the Master Trustee shall vote the shares of Ford
Stock as directed by the Participant.  The Master Trustee shall vote shares of
Ford Stock credited to a Participant's accounts for which it has received no
directions from the Participant in the same proportion on each issue as it
votes those shares credited to Participants' accounts for which it received
voting directions from Participants.

            (vii)         General.  With respect to all rights other than the
right to vote, in the case of Ford Stock credited to a Participant's accounts,
the Trustee shall follow the directions of the Participant.

                                      -9-

                (viii)  Conversion.  All provisions in this Section 4(b)(3)
shall also apply to any securities received as a result of a conversion of Ford
Stock.

        (4)     Loans to Participants

                (i)  To originate a participant loan, the Plans participant
shall direct the Master Trustee as to the term and amount of the loan to be
made from the participant's individual account.  Such directions shall be made
by Plans participants by use of the telephone exchange system maintained for
such purpose by the Master Trustee or its agent.  The Master Trustee shall
determine, based on the current value of the participant's account on the date
of the request and any guidelines provided by the Company, the amount available
for the loan.  Based on the interest rate supplied by the Company in accordance
with the terms of the Plans, the Master Trustee shall advise the participant of
such interest rate, as well as the installment payment amounts.  In the case of
participant residential loans, the Master Trustee shall forward the loan
document to the participant for execution and submission for approval to the
Master Trustee.  The Master Trustee shall distribute the loan note with the
proceeds check to the participant.  The Master Trustee also shall distribute
truth-in-lending disclosure to the participant.  To facilitate recordkeeping,
the Master Trustee may destroy the original of any promissory note made in
connection with a loan to a participant under the Plans, provided that the
Master Trustee first creates a duplicate by a photographic or optical scanning
or other process yielding a reasonable facsimile of the promissory note and the
Plans participant's signature thereon, which duplicate may be reduced or
enlarged in size from the actual size of the original promissory note.


                (ii)  Principal and interest payments on parcipant loans shall
be remitted to the Master Trustee (1) by the Company in the case of active
employees, (2) by Comerica Bank in the case of amounts deducted from pension
payments on loans made prior to October 1, 1995, and (3) directly from former
employees in other cases.

                (iii)  The Administrator shall continue to hold participant
loan notes issued before the effective date of this Agreement as agent for the
Master Trustee.

        (5)     Commingled Pools.  Master Trust investments in Commingled Pools
shall be subject to the following:

                (i)  The Company hereby agrees to the Plans' participation in
the Group Trust and adopts the terms of the Group Trust as a part of this
Agreement.  Additionally, the Company acknowledges that it has received from
the Master Trustee a copy of the terms of the Group Trust




                                     -10-
<PAGE>   14
and the terms of the Declaration of Separate Fund for each separate fund of the
Group Trust selected by the Company.


                (ii)  The Master Trustee shall at the direction of the
Investment Manager transfer all or any specified assets of a Separately Managed
Portfolio to any Commingled Pool which is maintained by such Investment
Manager, an affiliate thereof or any other entity which is a bank, and
whereupon the instrument establishing such Commingled Pool, as amended from
time to time shall constitute a part of the Master Trust, provided, however,
that following the transfer of funds to the bank, the Master Trustee shall have
no responsibility with respect to the holding, investment or administration of
such funds.

                (iii)  At the direction of the Company, the Master Trustee
shall transfer all or any portion of the Master Trust assets to any Commingled
Pool which is maintained by a bank as defined by the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended, and whereupon the instrument establishing such Commingled
Pool shall constitute a part of the Master Trust, provided, however, that
following the transfer of funds to the bank, the Master Trustee shall have no
responsibility with respect to the holding, investment or administration of
such funds.

                (iv)  Purchases, sales, and exchanges of Commingled Pools other
than the Group Master Trust shall be made in accordance with Operational
Procedures to be established.

        (6)     Separately Managed Portfolios:  At the Company's direction the
Master Trustee shall separate all or a portion of the Master Trust into one or
more Separately Managed Portfolios.  Each Separately Managed Portfolio may be
invested in individual equity and debt securities, whether domestic or foreign,
mutual funds, commingled pools, and any other property or investments, in the
sole judgment of the person who is directing the investments of such Separately
Managed Portfolio.  
        The Company shall from time to time specify by written notice to the
Master Trustee whether the investment of the Separately Managed Portfolio shall
be managed by the Master Trustee, or shall be directed by one or more
Investment Managers, or whether both the Master Trustee and one or more
Investment Managers are to participate in the investment management of the
Separately Managed Portfolio.  The Company shall be responsible for
ascertaining that while each Investment Manager is acting in such capacity
hereunder, such Investment Manager acknowledges that it is a fiduciary within
the meaning of Section 3(21)(A) of ERISA, with respect to the Plans.
        The Master Trustee shall follow the directions of an Investment Manager
regarding the investment and reinvestment of the Master Trust, or such portion
thereof as shall be under management by the Investment Manager, and shall be
under no duty or obligation to review any investment to be acquired, held or
disposed of pursuant to such directions nor to make any recommendations with
respect to the disposition or continued retention of any such




                                     -11-
        

<PAGE>   15
investment. The Master Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for
acting without question on the direction of, or failing to act in the absence
of any direction from an Investment Manager, unless the Master Trustee has
knowledge that by such action or failure to act it will be participating in or
undertaking to conceal a breach of fiduciary duty by that Investment Manager.

        The Investment Manager at any time and from time to time may issue
orders for the purchase or sale of securities or investments directly to a
broker. In order to facilitate such transactions, the Master Trustee, upon
direction by the Investment Manager, shall execute and deliver appropriate
trading authorizations, provided, however, that the Master Trustee may require
evidence that all risks associated with such purchase or sale of securities or
other investments by the Investment Manager are acknowledged by the Company and
the Investment Manager. Written notification of the issuance of each such order
shall be given promptly to the Master Trustee by the Investment Manager and the
execution of each such order shall be confirmed to the Master Trustee by the
broker. Such notification shall be authority for the Master Trustee to pay for
securities purchased against receipt thereof and to deliver securities sold
against payment therefor, as the case may be. The Master Trustee is also
authorized to execute and deliver appropriate trading authorizations when
notified by the Investment Manager by other means of communication mutually
agreed upon by the Master Trustee and the Investment Manager.

        The Master Trustee shall, upon receiving written notice of the
resignation or removal of the Investment Manager, manage, pursuant to this
Section, the investment of the portion of the Master Trust under management
by such Investment Manager at the time of its resignation or removal, unless
and until the Master Trustee shall be notified of the appointment of another
Investment Manager, as provided in this Section, for such portion of such fund.

        An Investment Manager shall certify, at the request of the Master
Trustee, the value of any securities or other property held in any Manager Fund
managed by such Investment Manager, and such certification shall be regarded as
a direction with regard to such valuation. The Master Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon such valuation for all purposes under this
Agreement.

        (7)     Investment Contracts.  Master Trust investments in GICs shall
be subject to the following limitations:

                (i)  In accordance with Section 403(a) of ERISA the Company
hereby directs the Master Trustee to continue to hold Existing GICs until
contract maturity or until directed otherwise by the Company. Contract proceeds
payable upon the maturity of an Existing GIC shall be allocated to the
Separately Managed Portfolio described in (ii) below.


                                     -12-
<PAGE>   16
                (ii)    The Company hereby appoints the Master Trustee to 
exercise investment management authority for a Separately Managed Portfolio 
which invests primarily in a well-diversified portfolio of fixed-income 
investments, including GICs, individual fixed income securities, and units in 
a fixed-income Commingled Pool. The Company directs the Master Trustee to 
choose such investments in accordance with the Investment Guidelines for the 
Interest Income Fund attached hereto as Schedule "G".

                (iii)   The Company may appoint one or more Investment Managers
to manage a portion of the Separately Managed Portfolio described in (ii) above
pursuant to a written agreement by the Company with the Investment Manager.

                (iv)    In order to provide the necessary monies for exchanges
or redemption from the Separately Managed Portfolio described in (ii) above, the
Company agrees that the Master Trustee shall maintain a liquidity reserve
allocated to such investment option in (i) FICAP or (ii) such other Mutual Fund
or commingled pool as agreed to by the Company and the Master Trustee. The
target percentage and drift allowance to be held in the liquidity reserve shall
be set forth in Schedule "G" or otherwise agreed upon by the Master Trustee and
Company in writing and the Master Trustee shall be responsible for ensuring
that this target percentage falls within the agreed upon range, over time.

        (c)     Master Trustee Powers. The Master Trustee shall have the
following powers and authority:

                (i)     Subject to the limitations imposed by this Section 4,
to sell, exchange, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any property held
in the Master Trust, by private contract or at public auction. No person
dealing with the Master Trustee shall be bound to see to the application of the
purchase money or other property delivered to the Master Trustee or to inquire
into the validity, expediency, or propriety of any such sale or other
disposition.

                (ii)    Subject to the limitations of this Section 4, to invest
in GICs and short term investments (including interest bearing accounts with
the Master Trustee or money market mutual funds advised by affiliates of the
Master Trustee) and in collective investment funds maintained by the Master
Trustee for qualified plans, in which case the provisions of each collective
investment fund in which the Master Trust is invested shall be deemed adopted
by the Company and the provisions thereof incorported as a part of this Master
Trust as long as the fund remains exempt from taxation under Sections 401(a)
and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


                                     -13-

<PAGE>   17
                (iii)   To cause any securities or other property held as part
of the Master Trust to be registered in the Master Trustee's own name, in the
name of one or more of its nominees, or in the Master Trustee's account with
the Depository Trust Company of New York and to hold any investments in bearer
form, but the books and records of the Master Trustee shall at all times show
that all such investments are part of the Master Trust.

                (iv)    To borrow funds from a bank not affiliated with the
Master Trustee in order to provide sufficient liquidity to process Plans
transactions in a timely fashion, provided that the cost of such borrowing
shall be allocated in a reasonable fashion to the investment fund(s) in need of
liquidity;

                (v)     To make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and
all documents of transfer or conveyance and to carry out the powers herein
granted.

                (vi)    Subject to consultation with and approval by the
Company, to settle, compromise, or submit to arbitration any claims, debts, or
damages due to or arising from the Master Trust; to commence or defend suits or
legal or administrative proceedings; to represent the Master Trust in all suits
and legal and administrative hearings; and to pay all reasonable expenses
arising from any such action, from the Master Trust if not paid by the Company.

                (vii)   To do all other acts although not specifically
mentioned herein, as the Master Trustee may deem necessary to carry out any of
the foregoing powers and the purposes of the Master Trust.

        (d)     Investment Authority. The Master Trustee shall be considered a
fiduciary with discretionary investment authority only with respect to Plans
assets invested in the Group Master Trust or in a Separately Managed Portfolio
for which the Master Trustee has been appointed to exercise management
authority.

Section 5. Participant Directions.

        (a)     Investments. Each Participant shall be responsible for
directing the Master Trustee in which investment option(s) to invest the assets
in the participant's individual accounts. Such directions may be made by
Participants by use of the telephone exchange system maintained for such
purposes by the Master Trustee or its agent, in accordance with written
Telephone Exchange Guidelines attached hereto as Schedule "F". In the event that
the Master Trustee fails to receive a proper direction, the assets shall be
invested in the Interest Income Fund while the Master Trustee seeks a proper
direction. The Master Trustee 


                                     -14-

<PAGE>   18


shall not be liable for any loss, or by reason of any breach, which arises from
the Participant's exercise or non-exercise of rights under this Agreement over
the assets in the Participant's accounts.

        (b)     Disbursements.  Each Participant shall be responsible for
directing the Master Trustee to make benefit payments or Participant loans in
accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule "A".  The Master Trustee
shall not be responsible for any disbursement properly made in accordance with
such procedures (other than tax withholding and reporting obligations assumed
under this Agreement).

Section 6.  Recordkeeping and Administrative Services to Be Performed.

        (a)     General.  The Master Trustee or Fidelity Investments Retirement
Services Company, an affiliate of the Master Trustee, shall perform those
recordkeeping and administrative functions described in Schedule "A" attached
hereto.  These recordkeeping and administrative functions shall be performed
within the framework of the Company's written directions regarding the Plans'
provisions, guidelines and interpretations.

        (b)     Accounts.  The Master Trustee shall keep accurate accounts of 
all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions hereunder, and
shall report the value of the assets held in the Master Trust as of each
Reporting Date.  Within thirty (30) days following each Reporting Date or
within sixty (60) days in the case of a Reporting Date caused by the
resignation or removal of the Master Trustee, or the termination of this
Agreement, the Master Trustee shall file with the Company a written account
setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions
effected by the Master Trustee between the Reporting Date and the prior
Reporting Date, and setting forth the value of the Master Trust as of the
Reporting Date.  Except as otherwise required under ERISA, upon the expiration
of eight (8) months from the date of filing such account with the Company, the
Master Trustee shall have no liability or further accountabiltiy to anyone with
respect to the propriety of its acts or transactions shown in such account,
except with respect to such acts or transactions as to which the Company shall
within such eight (8) month period file with the Master Trustee written
objections.

        (c)     Inspection and Audit.  All records generated by the Master 
Trustee in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) shall be open to inspection 
and audit, during the Master Trustee's regular business hours prior to the
termination of this Agreement, by the Company or any person designated by the
Company.  Upon the resignation or removal of the Master Trustee or the
termination of this Agreement, the Master Trustee shall provide to the Company,
at no expense to the Company, in the format regularly provided to the Company,
a


                                     -15-

<PAGE>   19
statement of each Participant's accounts as of the registration, removal, or
termination, and the Master Trustee shall provide to the Company or the Plans'
new recordkeeper such further records as are reasonable, at the Company's
expense.

        (d)     Effect of Plan Amendment. A confirmation of the current 
qualified status of each Plan is attached hereto as Schedule "D". The
Master Trustee's provision of the recordkeeping and administrative services set
forth in this Section 6 shall be conditioned on the Company delivering to the
Master Trustee a copy of any amendment to the Plans as soon as administratively
feasible following the amendment's adoption, with, if requested, an IRS
determination letter or an opinion of counsel substantially in the form of
Schedule "D" covering such amendment, and on the Company providing the Master
Trustee on a timely basis with all the information the Company deems necessary
for the Master Trustee to perform the recordkeeping and administrative services
and such other information as the Master Trustee may reasonably request.

        (e)     Returns, Reports and Information. The Company shall be 
responsible for the preparation and filing of all returns, reports, and
information required of the Master Trust or Plans by law. The Master Trustee
shall provide the Company with such information as the Company may reasonably
request to make these filings.

        (f)     Allocation of Plan Interests. All transfers to, withdrawals 
from, or other transactions regarding the Master Trust shall be conducted 
in such a way that the proportionate interest in the Master Trust of
each Plan and the fair market value of that interest may be determined at any
time. Whenever the assets of more than one Plan are commingled in the Master
Trust or in any investment option, the undivided interest therein of each such
Plans shall be debited or credited (as the case may be) (i) for the entire
amount of every contribution received on behalf of such Plans, every benefit
payment, or other expense attributable solely to such Plans, and every other
transaction relating only to such Plans; and (ii) for its proportionate share
of every item of collected or accrued income, gain or loss, and general
expense, and of any other transactions attributable to the Master Trust or that
investment option as a whole.

Section 7.  Compensation and Expenses. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
Master Trustee's bill, which shall be computed and billed in accordance with
Schedule "B" attached hereto and made a part hereof, as amended from time to
time, the Company shall send to the Master Trustee a payment in such amount or,
to the extent that the Plan may permit, the Company may direct the Master
Trustee to deduct such amount from Participants' account. All expenses of the
Master Trustee relating directly to the acquisition and disposition of
investments constituting part of the Master Trust, and all taxes of any kind
whatsoever that 



                                     -16-
<PAGE>   20


may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon or in respect of
the Master Trust or the income thereof, shall be a charge against and paid from
the appropriate investment option.

Section 8. Directions and Responsibility.

        (a)  Directions from Company or Administrator.  The Company shall from
time to time designate the persons authorized to act on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement.  Such designation shall be made in a
communication signed by the Vice President-Finance, the Secretary, or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company and shall include the signature of the
persons so designated.  Whenever the Company or Administrator provides a
direction to the Master Trustee, the Master Trustee shall not be liable for any
loss, or by reason of any breach, arising from the direction if the direction
is contained in a writing (or is oral and immediately confirmed in a writing)
signed by any individual whose name and signature have been submitted (and not
withdrawn) in writing to the Master Trustee by the Company, provided the Master
Trustee reasonably believes the signature of the individual to be genuine. 
Such direction may also be made via electronic data transfer in accordance with
procedures agreed to by the Company and the Master Trustee; provided, however,
that the Master Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on such direction
as if it were a direction made in writing by the Company.  The Master Trustee
shall have no responsibility to ascertain any direction's (i) accuracy, (ii)
compliance with applicable law, or (iii) effect for tax purposes (other than
tax withholding and reporting obligations assumed under this Agreement).

        (b)  Conduct. The Master Trustee hereby agrees not to take any action
contrary to the Plans (as communicated to the Master Trustee) or the Summary
Plan Description provided to participants (as communicated to the Master 
Trustee).  The Master Trustee hereby acknowledges that it has received from 
the Company a draft of the Summary Plan Description.

        (c)  Co-Fiduciary Liability. In any other case, the Master Trustee
shall not be liable for any loss, or by reason of any breach, arising from any
act or omission of another fiduciary under the Plans except as provided in
section 405(a) of ERISA.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Master Trustee
shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of any predecessor or
successor trustee.

        (d)  Responsibility. The Company and the Master Trustee agree that they
will cooperate with each other in the event of litigation or other dispute to
determine the response that is appropriate to any claim made against the
Company or the Master Trustee or both


                                     -17-

<PAGE>   21
and the apportionment of the resulting expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) and liability, if any, in connection with such claim. The
Company and the Master Trustee acknowledge that some claims may be made against
either or both parties even though only one of the parties would be responsible
under the Plans and the Agreement for the action, or inaction, that gives rise
to the claim and that the identity of the party whose action, or inaction,
gives rise to the claim may not always be clear. The parties agree that, in
general, claims arising by reason of interpretation of the Plan provisions or
by reason of Company directions or the directions of an Investment Manager will
be defended by the Company and the Company will be responsible for any expenses
or liability therefor; and claims arising from the administration and operation
of the Master Trust will be defended by the Master Trustee and the Master
Trustee will be responsible for any expenses or liability therefor. In any
event, each will give notice to the other of any controversy and each will
cooperate with the other to resolve such controversy.

        (e) Survival. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

Section 9. Resignation or Removal of Master Trustee.

        (a) Resignation. The Master Trustee may resign at any time upon sixty
(60) days' notice in writing to the Company, unless a shorter period of notice
is agreed upon by the Company.

        (b) Removal. The Company may remove the Master Trustee at any time upon
sixty (60) days' notice in writing to the Master Trustee, unless a shorter
period of notice is agreed upon by the Master Trustee.

Section 10. Successor Master Trustee.

        (a) Appointment. If the office of Master Trustee becomes vacant for any

        Perform up to four (4) discrimination tests per year for Ford.
        Additional test(s) may be requested at additional fees(s). To obtain
        this service, Ford Motor Company will be required to provide the
        information identified in the Fidelity Discrimination Testing Package
        Guidelines.

        The above mentioned services will be phased in during a
        transition period to Fidelity. Comerica Bank, as the terminating
        trustee and recordkeeper will perform their last valuation of SSIP,
        TESPHE, and BEP for the period ending 9/30/95. The transition period is
        scheduled to begin on October 1, 1995 with a projected completion date
        of November 1, 1995. This projection is based upon several critical
        path items, one of which is the receipt of the final valuations from
        Comerica Bank on October 6, 1995. Ford and Fidelity have agreed that
        there will be a suspension of recordkeeping services during the
        transition period except for contributions, loan repayments for SSIP,
        and enrollments. It is the goal of both parties that the transition
        period be as short as possible.

        For further information regarding how the Ford plan will be
        administered, refer to the "Ford Motor Company Plan Changes and
        Recommendations" document dated as of April 10, 1995.

                                        third-party vendor to handle proxy 
                                        solicitation mailings and vote

                                        the non-Fidelity Fund vendors.

Discrimination Testing:                 Fidelity will provide up to four (4)

                                        at a cost of $11,000. If Ford requests
                                        or requires additional tests, Ford will
                                        be assessed $2,750 per test. If
                                        extraordinary consulting is provided by
                                        Fidelity personnel, such consulting
                                        will be provided at the rate of $100 
                                        per hour. In addition, the correction 
                                        and manipulation of plan data requested
                                        by Ford will be charged at a rate of 
                                        $100 per hour.

                                              services of Fidelity Brokerage
                                              Services, Inc. ("FBSI"), a
                                              subsidiary of Fidelity Management
                                              and Research. FBSI's standard
                                              commission is 3.5 cents per
                                              share. If Ford does not so
                                              direct, Fidelity will utilize
                                              other brokers that may charge
                                              more or less than 3.5 cents per
                                              share when trading Company Stock.


     The fees detailed above are fixed for a five year period (October 1, 1995
     through September 30, 2000) with the following exceptions:

          -  if more than 5% of plan assets are invested in non-core,
             non-Fidelity investment options, Fidelity will revisit the fee
             structure with Ford.

          -  Extraordinary circumstances such as acquisitions or dispositions
             that have a significant impact on plan population or require
             additional Fidelity resources may result in a mutual modification
             of the fee structure and/or a one time "event" fee.

     In approximately April of the year 2000, Fidelity and Ford will begin the
     process of negotiating a new contract with the end result being a new
     contract and fee structure in place by September 30, 2000.

     Note:  These fees have been negotiated and accepted based on plan
     assets of $6.5 billion, 156,000 eligible employees, participation of
     109,000 participants, projected net cash flows of $110 million

per year, and volumes of adjustments and transactions consistent with
historical experience (as stated in the Fidelity Proposal of Service and Fees
dated September 12, 1994). Fees will be subject to revision if these Plan
characteristics change significantly by either falling below or exceeding
current or projected levels. Fees also have been based on the use of up to 63
investment options, and such fees will be subject to revision if additional
investment options are added.

                            [Law Firm Letterhead]



Ms. Carolyn Redden
Fidelity Institutional Retirement
 Services Company
82 Devonshire Street - ZZ4
Boston, MA  02109

                                [Name of Plan]


Dear Ms. Redden:

        In accordance with your request, this letter sets forth our opinion
with respect to the qualified status under section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (including amendments made by the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974)(the "Code"), of the [name of plan], as amended to
the date of this letter (the "Plans").

        The material facts regarding the Plans as we understand them are as
follows. The most recent favorable determination letter as to the Plans'
qualified status under section 401(a) of the Code was issued by the [location
of Key District] District Director of the Internal Revenue Service and was
dated [date] (copy enclosed). The version of the Plans submitted by [name of
company](the "Company") for the District Director's review in connection with
this determination letter did not contain amendments made effective as of
[date]. These amendments, among other matters, [brief description of
amendments]. [Subsequent amendments were made on [date] to amend the provisions
dealing with [brief description of amendments].]

        The Company has informed us that it intends to submit the Plans to the
[location of Key District] District Director of the Internal Revenue Service
and to request from him a favorable determination letter as to the Plans'
qualified status under section 401(a) of the Code. The Company may have to make
some modifications to the Plans at the request of the Internal Revenue Service
in order to obtain this favorabele determination letter, but we do not expect
any of these modifications to be material. The Company has informed us that it
will make these modifications.

        Based on the foregoing statements of the Company and our review of the
provisions of the Plans, it is our opinion that the Internal Revenue Service
will issue a favorable determination letter as to the qualified status of the
Plans, as modified at the request of the Internal Revenue Service, under
section 401(a) of the Code, subject to the customary condition that continued
qualification of the Plans, as modified, will depend on its effect in
operation.

        Futhermore, in that the assets are in part invested in common stock
issued by the Company or an affiliate, it is our opinion that the Plans is an
"eligible individual account plan" (as defined under Section 407(d)(3) of
ERISA) and that the shares of common stock of the Company held and to purchased
under the Plans are "qualifying employer securities" (as defined under Section
407(d)(5) of ERISA). Finally, it is our opinion that interests in the Plans are
not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or, if such registration is required, that such interests are effectively
registered under said Act.


                                                      Sincerely,



                                                      [name of law firm]
                                                      By [Signature]
                                                      [name of partner]

        4.      Weekly exchanges into Class Year Contract 1995 are permitted
                and will be processed at each Friday's NAV. Exchange requests 
                made after 4 p.m. ET each Friday will be processed at the 
                following Friday's NAV.

        5.      Exchanges out of Class Year Contract 1995 are not permitted.

        (B)     SPONSOR STOCK - Investments in the Stock Fund will consist
                primarily of shares of Sponsor Stock. However, in order to 
                satisfy daily participant requests for exchanges, loans and 
                withdrawals, the Stock Fund will also hold cash or other 
                short-term liquid investments in an amount that has been 
                agreed to in writing by the Sponsor and the Trustee. The 
                Trustee will be responsible for ensuring that the percentage 
                of these investments falls within the agreed upon range over 
                time. However, if there is insufficient liquidity in the 
                Sponsor Stock Fund to allow for such activity, the Trustee 
                will sell shares of Sponsor Stock in the open market. Exchange 
                and redemption transactions will be processed as soon as 
                proceeds from the sale of Company Stock are received.

        (C)     COMMON STOCK FUND AND BOND FUND - Investments in the Common
                Stock and Bond Funds will consist of units in the Comerica and 
                Wells Fargo commingled pools respectively. However, in order 
                to satisfy daily participant requests for exchanges, loans and 
                withdrawals, these Funds will also hold cash or other 
                short-term liquid investments in an amount that has been 
                agreed to in writing by the Sponsor and the Trustee. The 
                Trustee will be responsible for ensuring that the percentage 
                of these investments falls within the agreed upon range over 
                time. However, if there is insufficient liquidity in either 
                Fund to allow for such activity, the Trustee will be required 
                to sell shares of the "investment component" of the Fund (as 
                defined in Schedule K) to meet the requests. Exchange and 
                redemption transactions will be processed as soon as proceeds 
                from the sale of the investment component are received.

                                SCHEDULE "G-1"

                            INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
                         FOR THE INTEREST INCOME FUND
                (FIDELITY MANAGEMENT TRUST COMPANY GUIDELINES)

I.  OBJECTIVE

The investment objective for the Interest Income Fund ("IIF") is to provide a
relatively high fixed-income yield with little market-related risk.  Of primary
importance is the preservation of both invested principal and earned interest. 
Secondary to the preservation of capital is the need to generate, over time, a
composite yield in excess of short-term yields available in the marketplace.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTEREST INCOME FUND

The IIF is a diversified book value fund comprised of the following investments
types (described below in more detail): Guaranteed Investment Contracts
("GICs"), individual fixed-income securities, and units in commingled pools
managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company in its capacity as Investment
Manager (hereafter "FMTC").  The IIF will also be invested in a Short-Term
Investment Fund ("STIF") for liquidity purposes.

In conjunction with the investment types described above, FMTC shall purchase
constant-duration synthetic contracts (hereafter "synthetic contracts") to
ensure that the IIF is fully benefit-responsive and accounted for at
book-value.  The IIF will be divided among these synthetic contracts on a
pro-rata basis and the contracts will provide a fixed rate of return each
calendar year.

FMTC shall invest the IIF within the ranges indicated below, realizing that
such allocations will be achieved over a reasonable time period:

                GICs                                       0% to 25%
                Individual fixed-income securities         25% to 50%
                Commingled Pool Units *                    48% to 52%
                STIF                                        1% to 3%
  
* If greater than 50% of the IIF is invested in commingled pool units, then
  FMTC shall not purchase additional units until the amount invested falls
  below 50%.  If the commingled pool units exceed 52%, then the FMTC shall
  periodically rebalance the IIF by selling the excess over 52% at fair market
  value.  The proceeds of such sale will be reinvested in GICs, individual
  fixed-income securities or STIF.

III. PERMISSIBLE INVESTMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

        A.  GICS

GICs are book-value, benefit-responsive investment contracts issued by
insurance companies, banks and other institutions that guarantee the payback of
principal at full book value.  GICs are unsecured agreements backed by the
assets of the issuer.  The three types of permissible GICs are:

     1. Standard GICs: invested principal and earned interest are guaranteed
        for the full term of investment.

     2. Indexed and/or Structured GICs: interest and maturity may be adjusted
        periodically according to a published index.

     3. Participating GICs: interest adjusted periodically to reflect the
        performance of an underlying portfolio of assets in the general
        account of the issuer.


                                     -33-



<PAGE>   37
Credit Limitations 

GICs for the IIF will be limited to those issuers whose creditworthiness has 
been approved by the FMTC at the time of purchase. Such approval will be given
only to those issuers having substantial asset basis and adequate surplus 
assets to assure financial strength under adverse conditions. A copy of the 
current FMTC credit standards is available upon request.

Diversification

FMTC will seek to diversify holdings among issuers and investment types to
avoid unwise concentrations of risk. Investment exposure to any single GIC
issuer shall not exceed 2.5% of the IIF assets managed by FMTC. FMTC's
dynamic diversification guidelines utilize multiple categories of issuers rated
as to maturity limits, percentage of client's portfolio and percentage of
issuer's surplus or net worth. A copy of the current FMTC diversification
standards is available upon request.

     B. SECURITIES

     1.  Individual Fixed-Income Securities

FMTC will invest in high quality individual fixed-income securities for the
IIF. Such securities will be owned directly by the Plan, and the Plan assumes
default risk on the security. The minimum credit quaility of any security at the
time of purchase will be "AA-" by at least one of the major rating agencies.
The expected final maturity of any security purchased shall not exceed seven
years.

Below is a list including, but not limited to, the securities types which may
be purchased for the IIF:

     -  Asset-backed securities
     -  Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)
     -  Commercial Paper rated A1/P1 or higher
     -  Corporate Notes and Bonds
     -  Mortgage-backed Securities
     -  U.S. Government Agencies
     -  U.S. Treasury Securities

Except for U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government Agency, and U.S. Government
sponsored issuers, investment exposure to any single issuer shall not exceed
2.5% of the IIF assets managed by FMTC.

FMTC may also invest in ARMs, Treasury Bills, Notes, and Bonds, (including
Treasury STRIPS), U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities, excluding IO's and
PO's, Inverse Floaters, Super Floaters, residuals, structured notes, futures
and options. Any exception to the above exclusions shall not be permitted
unless agreed to in writing by the wrap issuer, the Investment Manager.

     2.  Commingled pool Units

Initially, the IIF will be invested in units of the Fidelity Short
Duration/Diversified Collective Trust according to the Investment Guidelines
referred to in Schedule I-2.

FMTC may invest in other commingled pool units provided these Investment
Guidelines are amended accordingly.

     C.  STIF

To assure sufficient liquidity for the IIF, FMTC will invest in money market
portfolios, including commingled pools and mutual funds, offered by FMTC or
its affiliates.

                                      -34-

<PAGE>   38
     D.  CONSTANT DURATION SYNTHETIC AGREEMENTS

FMTC will purchase synthetic contracts for all of the investment types
described above. Such contracts do not guarantee the underlying investments
(described in A and B above) purchased on behalf of the Plan. FMTC will
purchase such synthetic contracts from third party issuers (usually an
insurance company, bank, or brokerage firm) approved by FMTC at the time of
purchase.

IV.  WITHDRAWAL HIERARCHY FOR BENEFIT PAYMENTS

The withdrawal hierarchy for benefit payments from the IIF shall be as follows:
(1) STIF, (2) Commingled pool units, (3) individual fixed-income securities,
and (4) GICs.

                                     -35-

                                SCHEDULE "G-2"

                        INVESTMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE
             FIDELITY SHORT DURATION/DIVERSIFIED COLLECTIVE TRUST

The Fidelity Short Duration/Diversified Collective Trust seeks to add
incremental return above a selected benchmark (either a published index or a
customized benchmark) while matching the benchmark in terms of duration and
risk parameters. The Sponsor acknowledges that it has received a copy of the
terms of the Fidelity Group Trust and terms of the Declaration of Separate Fund
for the Short Duration/Diversified Collective Trust.

                              II.  FUND PROVISIONS

A.     CONTRIBUTIONS

       Contributions will be paid to the John Hancock as indicated in the
       Contract Specifications.  Each recurring Contribution is due and payable
       to the John Hancock within thirty days after its receipt by the Contract
       Holder.

       The following will not be considered to be Contributions under the
       Contract and shall be returned, unless mutually agreed upon by the
       Contract Holder and the John Hancock:

          1.   any amounts received in excess of the Contributions or prior to
               the date(s) indicated in the Contract Specifications; or

          2.   any amounts received as a result of a material change in the
               operation of the Plan, by amendment or practice exclusive of the
               proposed Plan amendments stated in the Ford Motor Company bid
               specifications dated October 24, 1994, and the Interest Income
               Fund established November 1, 1995; or

          3.   any amounts received after the Contract Holder or Employer fails
               to provide the John Hancock with a requested copy of a
               Participant Communication or resulting from a Participant
               Communication which the John Hancock determines is designed to
               influence Participants to transfer funds into the Contract; or

          4.   any amounts received as a result of a merger or acquisition by 
               the Employer; or

          5.   any amounts received from the liquidation of Employer stock in
               connection with an offer to acquire, or acquisition of, any
               equity interest of the Employer, resulting in Participant
               transfers into the Income Fund during the Contribution Period.

       The Contract Holder may discontinue Contributions at any time.  In such
       event, the Contract Holder will be liable to the John Hancock for
       investment losses, if any, the John Hancock may incur as a result of
       nonpayment of any Contributions.  The amount of the investment losses
       will be determined in accordance with uniform procedures established by
       the John Hancock for contracts of this class as described in the
       Confirmation Letter.  A statement of the applicable procedures will be
       provided to the Contract Holder upon request.

B.     INTEREST

       From the date of deposit to the day preceding the Guarantee Expiration
       Date, the John Hancock will credit the daily equivalent of the Net 
       Guaranteed Interest Rate on the ending balance in the Fund each day, 
       including any Contributions, less any transfers and withdrawals.

                        II.  FUND PROVISIONS - CONTINUED

C.     EXPENSES

       The John Hancock will bill the Contract Holder for any special Services
       performed under the Contract.  Such special Services must be requested
       by the Contract Holder in writing.  If the expense charge is not paid
       within thirty-one days of the date of billing, it will be deducted from
       the Fund.

       If a scheduled or unscheduled transfer is made, any outstanding expenses
       which have been billed to the Contract Holder will be deducted from the
       amount to be transferred.


D.     PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS

       The Contract may be utilized to pay Participant withdrawals.  When the
       Contract Holder requests in writing a withdrawal from the Fund, the John
       Hancock will transfer the amount to the Contract Holder, subject to the
       following:

                 1.   The transfer will be made within two business
                      days of receipt of written notice or on the date 
                      specified in the notice, if later. However, the John 
                      Hancock may take up to ten business days for multiple 
                      payments and thirty business days for payment to 
                      individual Participants.

                 2.   Withdrawals will be made on behalf of a Participant on a
                      book value basis from the class year contract in the 
                      Income Fund as selected by the Participant in accordance 
                      with the Plan.

       If, however, a Participant elects to withdraw any portion of his
       Participant's Account as a result of any of the events listed below, the
       withdrawal will be considered to be initiated by the Contract Holder.
       If the withdrawal will adversely affect the John Hancock's financial
       experience under the Contract, the John Hancock reserves the right to
       apply a transfer adjustment factor, determined in accordance with the
       Unscheduled Transfers section, to the amount to be transferred.

                        II.  FUND PROVISIONS - CONTINUED

                 3.   The withdrawal is a result of a Participant
                      Communication, which in the reasonable judgment of the
                      John Hancock and the Contract Holder is designed to
                      induce Participants to make a withdrawal from the Fund,
                      or the withdrawal occurs after the Contract Holder or
                      Employer fails to provide the John Hancock with a
                      requested copy of a Participant Communication.

                 4.   An additional investment option has been established or
                      the investment policy of an Investment Option has been
                      modified without the written consent of the John Hancock,
                      exclusive of the proposed Plan amendments stated in the
                      Ford Motor Company bid specifications dated October 24,
                      1994, and the Interest Income Fund established November
                      1, 1995.

                 5.   A new pension plan has been established by the Employer
                      covering Participants in the Plan.

                 6.   The operation of the Plan or any other pension plan of
                      the Employer has been materially changed, by amendment or
                      practice, except as stated in paragraph 8. below, that
                      has a material impact on withdrawals from this Contract
                      as determined by the John Hancock.

                 7.   The withdrawal is due to a Contract Holder or Employer
                      action which results in the transfer of Participants'
                      Accounts. Actions include, but are not limited to, a
                      merger, sale, spinoff, early retirement incentive,
                      facility relocation, voluntary layoff (involving
                      severance incentives), or a Plan termination which is not
                      the result of financial hardship, such as a court ordered
                      liquidation under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency
                      statutes, except as stated in paragraph 8. below.

                 8.   A one-time 10% book value corridor over the life of the
                      Contract will remain in effect for plant shutdowns, early
                      retirement programs, unanticipated plan amendments and
                      group layoffs.  Any requests exceeding the 10% book value
                      corridor will be made subject to the lesser of book value
                      or the John Hancock transfer adjustment formula.

                      If a clone contract is mutually agreed to by the
                      Contract Holder and the John Hancock, the transfer to
                      create the clone will be at book value.

E.     SCHEDULED REPAYMENT OF THE FUND

       The John Hancock will transfer the balance in the Fund to the Contract
       Holder in a single sum on the Guarantee Expiration Date, unless prior to
       such date the John Hancock has received written notice by the Contract
       Holder that the balance in the Fund is to be transferred to another 
       insurance company, trustee or a new group annuity contract to be issued 
       by the John Hancock.

<PAGE>   8

                        II.  FUND PROVISIONS - CONTINUED


       If the Guarantee Expiration Date falls on a nonbusiness day, the
       transfer of the Fund will be made on the business day preceding such
       date, with interest and any applicable expenses adjusted accordingly.


F.     UNSCHEDULED TRANSFERS

       The Contract Holder may request an unscheduled transfer from the Fund in
       the event of a sale or spinoff of a group covered under the Plan when a
       clone contract cannot be arranged to the satisfaction of the Contract
       Holder and the John Hancock, or in the event that the operation of the
       Plan has significantly changed, as reasonably determined by the John
       Hancock and the Contract Holder, exclusive of the proposed Plan
       amendments stated in the Ford Motor Company bid specifications dated
       October 24, 1994, and the Interest Income Fund established November 1,
       1995.  A request for a transfer for any other reason will be subject to
       the consent of the John Hancock and at terms mutually agreed upon
       between the Contract Holder and the John Hancock.

       The transferable balance is an amount equal to the balance in the Fund,
       or such lesser amount as may be requested, to be transferred on the
       transfer date, multiplied by a transfer adjustment factor.  Any
       outstanding expenses which have been billed to the Contract Holder will
       reduce the balance in the Fund prior to the deduction of the transfer
       adjustment.  A statement of the applicable procedures to determine the
       transfer adjustment factor will be furnished to the Contract Holder upon
       request.

       The transfer date will be the business day specified as the transfer
       date by the Contract Holder in a written notice, provided it is not less
       than ninety days after receipt of such notice by the John Hancock.

                          III.  GENERAL PROVISIONS



A.     ANNUITIES

       The Contract Holder has the option to purchase annuities for
       Participants in the Plan who have retired.  Any annuities to be
       purchased under the Contract will be established in accordance with
       current procedures of John Hancock for group annuity contracts of this
       class and may be in any form which is then being offered under contracts
       of this class.

       The rates applicable to purchase immediate annuities will be furnished
       by the John Hancock to the Contract Holder upon request.  The John
       Hancock reserves the right to change the purchase rates for annuities at
       any time.

       The rates applicable to the purchase of immediate annuities for
       Participants will not be less favorable than rates based on the
       following assumptions:

       Mortality:         The 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table projected to
                          the calendar year of purchase using Projection Scale
                          H, with a six year age setback

       Interest:          Age 50 and up - 3.00%

       Loading:           1.5% of gross premium, plus any applicable state 
                          premium tax

       Per Life
       Charge:            $500 for each Participant for whom an annuity is 
                          purchased

       The John Hancock retains the right to limit the total amount of
       annuities which may be purchased under the Contract to that portion of
       the annuity represented by the ratio of the Participant's Account to the
       total value of the interest of the Participant under the Plan.

       If it is discovered that the age, sex, or any other relevant fact with
       respect to a Participant is erroneous, an adjustment will be made in the
       amounts withdrawn from the Fund on account of such Participant or in the
       annuities payable by the John Hancock on account of such Participant, or
       both.  The John Hancock will not be liable to pay any greater annuity
       with respect to any payee than that which would be payable on the basis
       of the correct information and the actual amounts withdrawn from the
       Fund.

B.     ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT

       The Contract will not be assigned without the mutual written
       consent of the Contract Holder and the John Hancock.

C.     INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED

       The Contract Holder will provide or permit the John Hancock to obtain
       all financial statements and information which may reasonably be
       required in the administration of the Contract.  The John Hancock has
       the right to rely upon such information and to act for the purposes of
       the Contract on the basis of such information.  Where financial
       information is not certified by an independent accounting firm, the
       Contract Holder will permit the John Hancock, or its authorized
       representatives, at the John Hancock's expense, to inspect the
       statements, books and records of the Contract Holder relating to the
       Contract.

D.     MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT

       The Contract may be modified at any time by written agreement between
       the Contract Holder and the John Hancock.  Only the President, a Vice
       President, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary of the John Hancock
       has authority on behalf of the John Hancock to modify or waive any of
       the provisions of the Contract.

E.     GUARANTEED BENEFIT SUB ACCOUNT

       The Guaranteed Benefit Sub Account is a pooled segment of John Hancock's
       General Investment Account under which guarantees of benefits or
       contract values are made. All monies under the Contract will be part of
       the general corporate funds of the John Hancock and will be assigned for
       investment purposes to the Guaranteed Benefit Sub Account.

F.     NONWAIVER OF CONTRACT PROVISIONS

       The failure of the Contract Holder or the John Hancock to perform or to
       insist upon the strict performance of any provision of the Contract will
       not constitute a waiver on the part of the Contract Holder or the John
       Hancock of its right to perform or to require the performance of such
       provision.

G.     TERMINATION OF CONTRACT

       The Contract will terminate upon John Hancock's fulfillment of all its
       duties and obligations arising under the Contract.

H.     SEVERABILITY

       Should one or more provisions of the Contract be held by any court to be
       invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue
       in full force.

I.     MISCELLANEOUS

       All sums payable by the John Hancock will be payable from its Home
       Office in Boston, Massachusetts.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        This will refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") that is being filed by Ford Motor Company (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with
respect to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the
Company ("Common Stock"), relating to the Company's Tax-Efficient Savings Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Plan").

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

        Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

        (1)  The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware.

        (2)  All necessary corporate proceedings have been taken to authorize
the issuance of the shares of Common Stock being registered under the
Registration Statement, and all such shares of Common Stock acquired by
Fidelity Management Trust Company, as trustee under the Master Trust Agreement
dated as of September 30, 1995 relating to the Plan (the "Master Trust
Agreement") and as trustee under the Plan, in accordance with the Master Trust
Agreement and the Plan will be legally issued, fully paid and

non-assessable when the Registration Statement shall have become effective and
the Company shall have received therefor the consideration provided in the Plan
(but not less than the par value thereof).

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



                                           Very truly yours,
