(a)

A Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit shall be provided for and associated with each payment of a GRP benefit that is subject to the Limitations or delayed pursuant to provisions set forth in (b)(iii).

The Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit:

Shall be equal in amount to the difference between the GRP benefit and the corresponding benefit that would be payable under the GRP without regard to the Limitations. In determining the amount of the Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit, the member's salary shall be the member's salary (as that term is defined in the GRP) plus BEP Salary Reductions for periods before January 1, 1985 which are credited under this Plan pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii)(C) below, but the member shall not make contributions hereunder based on such BEP Salary Reductions.

Shall be paid monthly by the Company to the person receiving payment of the corresponding GRP benefit and, for distributions commencing on and after January 1, 2005, shall be paid commencing on the first day of the month following the date that is the later of the date the employee:

Reaches at least age 55 with 10 years of service;

Reaches 30 years of service;

Reaches age 65 or older with one year of service; or

Has a Separation From Service.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Specified Employee incurs a Separation From Service from the Company, payment of any Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit accrued or vested after December 31, 2004, shall not commence (or be paid) earlier than the first day of the seventh month following Separation From Service. The payment delayed under this Section shall not bear interest.

(c)

For distributions commencing on or before December 31, 2004, as an alternative to the Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit, the Company and an employee eligible for the Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit under this Section 3.0l may agree on payment of the actuarial equivalent in a lump sum cash payment of such Periodic GRP Equalization Benefit, subject to the following conditions and such other conditions as may be determined by the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Senior Vice President-General Counsel and the Group Vice President-Corporate Human Resources and Labor Affairs:

(i)

The actuarial equivalent shall be determined on the basis of the interest rates and mortality tables, which would be used by the PBGC for determining the present value of liability for pensioners' benefits in the case of a terminated retirement plan under Title IV of ERISA and which are in effect in the month prior to the month when the employee's GRP benefit begins.

(ii)

The agreement must be entered into (A) prior to the year in which the employee's retirement occurs and (B) not later than six months before the actual retirement date; provided, however, that the requirement contained in Subsection (B) immediately above shall not apply to such an agreement entered into in l984 by the Company and an eligible employee who retires before July l, l985.

 

(iii)

The agreement once entered is irrevocable.

Evidence of good health at the time of the agreement will be required.

For an employee who made the election regarding payroll deductions provided in this Subsection, or who elected to have credited under this Plan BEP Salary Reductions, a SSIP Equalization Benefit shall be provided with respect to any class or classes of the SSIP before January 1, 1985 with respect to which Company or employee contributions were subject to the Limitations.

(ii)

If at any time during a plan year ending before January 1, 1985 it appeared that contributions by or on behalf of an employee (including any related Company matching contributions) to the SSIP would be subject to the Limitations, such an employee may have elected to have the Company retain in its general funds and have credited for purposes of computing a member's subaccount of the SSIP Equalization Benefit under this Section 3.02(a):

 

(A)

by payroll deduction authorization under this Plan that portion of the amount the employee had elected to contribute as employee regular savings contributions to the SSIP for such pay period (by a payroll deduction authorization in effect for such pay period under paragraph IV of the SSIP) which, when added to all other actual and projected Annual Additions as defined under paragraph XXXI of the SSIP during such plan year, exceeded the Limitations.

that portion of regular savings and related earnings which have been returned to the employee pursuant to the provisions of paragraph XXXI of the SSIP, and

the employee's BEP Salary Reductions.

This subaccount shall be equal to the amounts retained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii) of this Plan adjusted on the basis of investment performance and the member's election as to investment of funds under paragraph VIII and transfer of the value of employee and Company contributions under paragraph IX of the SSIP as though contributions and credits to the member's account hereunder had been so invested less any withdrawals pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iv) of this Plan; provided, however, that an election by a Company officer of investment in Company common stock shall not apply under this Plan with respect to contributions pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(ii) of this Plan (other than related Company matching contributions) which were made or credited hereunder by or on behalf of such Company officer; and the officer will be required to make any other investment election permitted under paragraph VIII of the SSIP with respect to such amounts.

If at any time during a plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1985 contributions by or on behalf of an employee and related Company matching contributions to the SSIP are subject to the Limitations there shall be credited for purposes of computing the eligible employee's SSIP Equalization Benefit under this Section 3.02(b) an amount equal to the Company matching contributions which would have been made under the SSIP based upon the employee's SSIP elections except that such Company matching contributions cannot be made because of the Limitations. For periods on or after October 1, 1995, the Company Matching Contributions shall be made in the form of units in the Ford Stock Fund rather than shares of Ford common stock.

There shall be established for each eligible employee a subaccount for periods of participation under this Section 3.02(b) under the SSIP Equalization Benefit Account.

For periods May 1, 1996 and after, this subaccount shall be equal to the amounts credited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(i) of this Plan and adjusted on the basis of investment performance attributable to any separate investment election made by an eligible employee (other than a Company officer) on or after May 1, 1996. The investment options for managing the sub account shall be identical to the investment options specified in Article VIII of the SSIP, although they will have separate fund codes. Any BEP credits earned will be based on the investment options available under Article VIII of the SSIP. The Designated Third Party Administrator will maintain the accounts and process the elections and otherwise be the recordkeeper with respect to this subaccount. Company officers with this subaccount are not eligible to reallocate or transfer credits under the subaccount from the Ford Stock Fund to other investment options, or from other investment options to the Ford Stock Fund.

In the event of death of an eligible employee with an SSIP Benefit Equalization subaccount, the balance of the subaccount shall be payable to the same beneficiary as the eligible employee has designated under Article XIV of the SSIP unless the eligible employee makes a separate designation under this Plan pursuant to the rules established by the Committee.

(c)

Payment of SSIP Equalization Benefit.

Shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment by the Company to the employee or, if the employee is deceased, to the employee's beneficiary under the SSIP, and shall be made as soon as practicable after the earlier of death or Separation From Service.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Specified Employee incurs a Separation From Service, payment of the amount credited to their SSIP Equalization Benefit sub account, accrued or vested after December 31, 2004 shall be paid no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following Separation From Service. Any distribution delayed under this Section shall not bear interest. Specified Employees will be permitted to continue to manage their investment elections in their sub account during the six-month delay and the Company assumes no responsibility for resulting gains or losses.

Ford Retirement Plan (FRP) Equalization Benefits

FRP Subaccount.

The Company shall establish a book entry account for each eligible employee for purposes of computing the employee's FRP Equalization Benefit under this Section 3.03. The eligible employee's FRP Equalization Benefit under this Subsection 3.03(a) shall be equal to the amount(s) credited to the book entry account at the time of distribution.

If, at any time during a plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2004, contributions made to the FRP on behalf of an eligible employee are limited due to the application of the Limitations, there shall be credited to the book entry account established for the employee pursuant to this Subsection 3.03(a) an amount equal to the amount of Company contributions that would have been made under the FRP on behalf of the employee but for the application of the Limitations.

Each eligible employee's book entry account also will be credited or debited with amounts determined based on investment options selected by the eligible employee under this Subsection 3.03(a)(iii). The investment options available for selection under this Subsection 3.03(a)(iii) shall be identical to the investment options available under the FRP, but will have separate fund codes. Each eligible employee shall select which investment options are to be used in determining the employee's FRP Equalization Benefit. In the absence of an investment selection by an eligible employee, the employee's book entry account will be credited or debited with amounts based on the appropriate Fidelity Freedom Fund offered under the FRP as identified by the Company for the employee. The Designated Third Party Administrator will maintain a record of each book entry account, process investment selections, and otherwise be the record keeper of the book entry accounts. Investment options selected under this Section 3.03 shall be used solely for purposes of determining an eligible employee's FRP Equalization Benefit. An eligible employee's FRP Equalization Benefit will be based on the value of the eligible employee's book entry account as if the amounts in the book entry account had been invested in actual investments selected by the employee; however, no such investments shall be made on behalf of the eligible employee. Eligible employees shall not have voting rights or any other ownership rights with respect to any investment options selected as the measuring mechanism for book entry accounts established under this Section 3.03.

Employees may not withdraw or borrow against amounts credited to any book account under this Subsection 3.03(a). Book entry accounts will not accept rollovers from other plans.

Payment of FRP Equalization Benefit.

Shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment by the Company to the eligible employee or, if the eligible employee is deceased, to the eligible employee's beneficiary under the FRP, and shall be made as soon as practicable after the earlier of the eligible employee's death or Separation From Service. In the event of the death of an eligible employee with a FRP Benefit Equalization book entry account, the balance of the book entry account shall be payable to the same beneficiary as the eligible employee designated under Article XII of the FRP, unless the eligible employee makes a separate designation under this Plan pursuant to the rules established by the Committee.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Specified Employee incurs a Separation From Service, payment of any amount credited to the Specified Employee's FRP Equalization Benefit book entry account, accrued or vested after December 31, 2004, shall not be made earlier than the first day of the seventh month following Separation From Service. The FRP Equalization Benefit under this Subsection 3.03(b) shall be equal to the amount credited to the eligible employee's book entry account at the time of distribution as determined under Subsection 3.03(a). Specified Employees will be permitted to continue to manage their book entry accounts during the six-month delay and the Company assumes no responsibility for resulting gains and/or losses.
