related to affiliates and third parties.</font> We
guarantee debt and lease obligations of certain joint
ventures, as well as certain financial obligations of outside
third parties including suppliers to support our business and
economic growth. Expiration dates vary through
2017, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or
cancellation of the obligation. A payment by us
would be triggered by failure of the joint venture or other
third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the
guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled
to recover from the third party amounts paid by us under the
guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these
rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid
in full, and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the
third party or other circumstances. The maximum
potential payments under guarantees and the carrying value of
recorded liabilities related to guarantees at December 31

<font
style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Indemnifications.</font> In
the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts
involving indemnifications standard in the industry and
indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale
of a business. These indemnifications might
include claims relating to any of the following:
environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual
property rights; power generation contracts; governmental
regulations and employment-related matters; dealers,
supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and
financial matters, such as
securitizations. Performance under these
indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of terms
of the contract or by a third-party claim. We also
are party to numerous indemnifications which do not limit
potential payment; therefore, we are unable to estimate a
maximum amount of potential future payments that could result
from claims made under these indemnities.

Various legal actions, proceedings and claims are pending or
may be instituted or asserted against us. These
include but are not limited to matters arising out of alleged
defects in our products; governmental regulations relating to
safety, emissions and fuel economy or other matters;
government incentives; tax matters; financial services;
employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other
contractual relationships; intellectual property rights;
product warranties; environmental matters; shareholder or
investor matters; and financial reporting
matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are,
or purport to be, class actions. Some of the
matters involve or may involve compensatory, punitive, or
antitrust or other treble damage claims in very large
amounts, or demands for recall campaigns, environmental
remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government
incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted,
would require very large expenditures.

The extent of our financial exposure to these legal actions,
proceedings and claims is difficult to
estimate. Many legal matters do not specify a
dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a
jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is
asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most
instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of
the ultimate outcome.

In evaluating matters filed against us, we take into
consideration factors such as the facts and circumstances
asserted, our historical experience with claims of a similar
nature, the likelihood of our prevailing and the severity of
any potential loss. For some matters, no accrual
is established because we have determined our risk of loss to
be remote. For all other matters, we generally
record an accrual, either on an individual basis or with
respect to a group of matters involving similar claims, based
on the factors set forth above. We reevaluate and
update our accruals as matters progress over time.

There is one matter currently pending against us in which we
believe a material loss is reasonably possible, but for which
we have not established an accrual. Specifically,
administrative proceedings are pending against Ford Brazil
relating to state tax incentives. These incentives
are being challenged by two states on the basis that the
incentives granted by another state did not receive formal
approval from the organization of Brazilian state treasury
offices. If we do not prevail at the
administrative level, we plan to appeal to the state court,
which likely would require posting of cash or other
collateral up to the amount assessed. Although we
believe our position on the merits is correct, there is a
reasonable possibility of an eventual loss of up to the
amount assessed by the taxing authorities (about
$500 million, including current interest and penalties).

There exists a reasonable possibility that the ultimate
outcome could be lower or higher than our
accruals. In aggregate, we do not believe that
these reasonably possible outcomes in excess of our accruals
would be material.

As noted, the litigation process is subject to many
uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated
matters is not predictable with assurance. Our
assessments, and therefore our accruals, are based on our
knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any
matter could require payment substantially in excess of the
amount that we have accrued.
