ARTICLE XII: ADDENDUMS

As attached
#1 Proposal below approved by 7 member majority of Executive Committee on Jan
5, 2008.


Brief summary of Club Partnership

Galeana Chrysler Jeep Inc wishes to help create, sponsor, promote, and
support a Mopar Owner Club. We wish to provide Mopar enthusiasts a simple
and STABLE club environment for all midlands owners by providing all
business functions of the club. We wish to prevent the wasted effort, time,
and money spent on our previous club sponsorship by making this club an
integral part of our operations. Our desire is to have this club also
promote Galeana Chrysler Jeep Inc as the premier place to obtain all Mopar
parts, accessories, and vehicles.


Galeana provides the Club;
All printed materials
§ Expanded Web site with membership management for officers.
§ Telephone broadcasts to members to remind promote events.
§ Promotional items for events
§ Membership kit
§ Mailing costs
§ All accounting functions with monthly reporting
§ Additional funding for business brought by the club to Galeana
§ Discounts on all our services exclusive to club members
§ Membership drive events at Galeana using our new telephone
technology. Cruise ins-Charity functions-Car clinics etc
§ Tech support for Club Members

We ask in return;
§ The club will not seek sponsorship or activity at competitive
Chrysler dealers
§ The club maintains a positive relationship with Galeana.
§ The club seeks to promote and do business with Galeana.
§ The club maintains monthly "fun" functions desirable by all Mopar
Owners.
§ The club does not present itself to the members or public in a manner
that would detract from a positive image for the club or Galeana Chrysler
Jeep Inc. Galeana management will have a say here. I have no thoughts that
this will be a problem based on past club activities.
§ The club works to maintain membership growth.

It is our desire that this will be a long and positive partnership between
the club and Galeana Chrysler Jeep Inc creating growth for both. If it does
not accomplish this, then the partnership will cease by failure of the club
to maintain membership or by cancellation of the agreement by Galeana
Chrysler Jeep Inc with minimum 30 days notice. Galeana does not desire to
have direct control of the club functions other than specified above.

I was asked what happens if Galeana is sold or we cancel sponsorship. I
really have no firm thoughts here. Since it is our objective to create a
stable club, I think the club sponsorship should be offered to new owners.
If they have no desire or we cancel for other reasons my feeling would be
that the club would be issued a check for all amounts held in the account
and the club could then take over its own functions and continue on. I am
open to club thoughts on how to better accomplish this.
