USE OF PROCEEDS

accelerate contributions to its pension plans during 2013 to continue de-risking its pension obligations.
One of the key priorities of the One Ford plan is to finance the plan and improve the balance sheet. With this
offering, Ford is taking advantage of what it considers to be very favorable market conditions to issue low-cost,
long-term debt to improve its balance sheet.
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
This description of the terms of the Notes adds information to the description of the general terms and provisions of

same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any such additional notes wil , together

Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.

2013, to the persons in whose names the Notes were registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the
Interest Payment Date, subject to certain exceptions. Interest on the Notes wil be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If interest or principal is payable on a day that is not a business day, we wil

Revenue Service (the "IRS") and judicial decisions, al as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretations.
This discussion does not purport to address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that
may be applicable to you in light of your personal investment circumstances or status. Prospective purchasers
of Notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning United States federal income tax consequences of
acquiring, owning and disposing of the Notes, as well as any state, local or foreign tax consequences.
U.S. Holders
This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders. You are a
"U.S. holder" for purposes of this discussion if you are, for United States federal income tax purposes:
·
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,
·
a domestic corporation,
·
an estate that is subject to United States federal income taxation without regard to the source of its
income, or
·
a trust if (1) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control al substantial decisions of
the trust or (2) a valid election is in effect under applicable Treasury regulations for the trust to be treated
as a United States person.
If a United States partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for United States
federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the Notes, the treatment of a partner in the partnership general y
wil depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A holder of Notes that is a
partnership and partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors.
Interest. General y, a U.S. holder wil include stated interest on the Notes as ordinary income at the time it is paid
or accrued in accordance with the U.S. holder's method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.
Sale or Other Disposition of Notes. Upon the sale or other disposition of a Note, a U.S. holder generally wil
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other disposition, except to the
extent such amount is attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, and the holder's tax basis in the Note. Your tax
basis in your Note general y wil be your cost of the Note.
Gain or loss so recognized wil be capital gain or loss and wil be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding
period in the Note exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate holders general y wil be
subject to a lower tax rate than the rate applicable to ordinary income. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations.
