Attn.: Georg Meyans, Sales Mgr. Emiliano Zapata 13 Esq. Lazaro Cardenas Pte. de Vigas, Tlalnepantla C 54090 Edo de Mexico Mexico Dear Sr. Meyans: Per our recent conversation, I am sending you information on Regional Member ship in the Institute. This is the type membership available to non United States manufacturers. I am sending along information on Regional Membership. BACKGROUND INFORMATION I have enclosed certain items which may help explain activities of the Insti tute as well as the requirements for Membership. They are: Constitution and By-Laws (1 copy) EXHIBIT A - Service to FMSI Members (1 copy) Regional Members - Category Filing with form (1 copy) Application Form for Membership (2 copies) Sample Application Form (Pink) TYPES OF REGIONAL MEMBERSHIP There are two types of Regional Membership: (1) Regular Regional Membership, where the Member will not be exporting his friction materials to the United States and (2) Regional Membership exporting to the United States who is en titled to all rights of United States Members marketing products here. The regular Regional Membership (without U.S. rights) has an annual fee of US$1,600. The Regional marketing products in the United States has a fee which is determined by the number of categories that Member is marketing in the United States. There are four categories: (1) Disc brake linings; (2) Drum brake linings; (3) Brake Blocks; (4) Clutch Facings. The categories are more thoroughly described in the insert enclosed (Regional Members Category Filing). If engaged in one category, the annual fee is US$1,850; if engaged in two categories, the annual fee is US$2,100; if engaged in three categories, the annual fee is US$2,600, if engaged in all four categories, the annual fee is US$3,100. To be "engaged in a category," one must be market ing that product line or type in the United States. FMSI 09864 2- - APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP To apply, one copy of the Application Form must be completed and signed by a principal of the manufacturer. The party signing cannot be an agent of the manufacturer; he must be a principal - either an Officer, Owner, General Manager, etc. The application must be sent to the Institute along with a prepayment of the' first year's annual dues. This will depend on the type of membership as ex plained earlier. If not exporting to the United States that would be US$1,600 If exporting to the United States it would depend on the categories marketed. If you plan to market products in the United States, you should also complete the category filing form and return it with the application. If marketing in the United States, the prepayment of the fee will be $1,850, $2,100, $2,600, or $3,100, depending on categories. Sincerely, FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE E. W.

We ask that Duramax discontinue use of Friction Materials Standards Institute catalogs, bulletins or the contents thereof including the FMSI Numbers and Numbering System. Also, as FM3 and FMSI are reg istered trademarks of the Friction Materials Standards Institute, we ask that you discontinue usage of FMS and FMSI in any of your sales literature or other copy.

De Jimenez Gentlemen: I am returning your check #572196 drawn on Banco de Comerclo, S.A. dated 11 August 1978. This check was in the amount of U.S. #325 in favor of the Friction Materials Standards Institute. Upon receipt of this check we submitted it for collection to Citibank, N.A. (Also known as First National City Bank of New York). This check (for which we had credited your account on Auguat 31, 1978) has been returned by the bank unpaid. I am attaching a copy of the notice received from Citibank, N.A. indicating that this check could not be collected because of "insufficient funds, check attached". In addition to not honoring the check, we were charged $10 U.S. for this service. As I indicated in my letter of November 22, 1978 we have had considerable difficulty with checks drawn on Mexican banks over the last year or two. Would you please replace this check for the dues of July 1, 1978.to September 30, 1978 with a new check. We also ask that you have the replacement check drawn for collection on a New York bank. It has taken us from two to four months to effect collections from Mexican banks and we have been charged substantial service charges for these collections. We would very much appreciate if you would replace this check with one drawn on a New York bank in the amount of U.S. $325. EWD/lmc Encs. Sincerely, FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE, INC. E. W.

Emillano Zr~ ata 13-Pte de Vigas Edo de Mexico, AP Postal 10-880 Mexico 10, D F, Mexico Attention: Ma. Evella C. De Jimenez Gentlemen: Since Duramax, S.A., joined the Institute, you have paid invoices promptly. We have had a problem at this end, however, in that it takes from 2 to 4 months to make collection oh checks drawn on Mexican Banks. For example, two Duramax checks which were received some time ago are still out for collection: Check No. 572196 on Banco de Comercio, S.A., of 11 Agosto in amount of U.S. $325.00 Check No. 3830782 on Banco Nacional de Mexico, S.A., of 20 Octubre in amount of U.S. $342.48 We had no problem with this until the Mexican devaluation of the Peso a few years back, and the problem has apparently worsened with the recent difficul ties with the United States dollar. In addition,'when these collections are made, Citicorp (the New York Bank making collectioh) will charge us from $10 to $15 for making the collection. Would it be possible for you to have Banco de Comercio, or Banamex draw checks payable at a New York Bank? If you could do this it would be most appeeciated.

This debit advice is in the amount of $10 based on your collection number 383-2925. I have also enclosed a copy of 383-2925 indicating that there are "insufficient funds" for a check in the amount of $325.00. It also stated that the insufficient fund check was attached. It was not enclosed. As I have four collections in the amount of $325 waiting for payment at Citibank, I do not know which collection this was. If we're to be debited for the $10, you should return the check which was indicated as insufficient funds to us. I'd very much appreciate additional information as regards this debit advice and the check which was returned. As I indicate, I must have this check returned to me if Citibank says it has insufficient funds in the account. Your help in straightening out this collection will be appreciated. EWD/lmc Encs.

A. (Mexico) I am enclosing a copy of the application for Regional Membership filed by Duramax, S. A. of Mexico. This application was received with the $1,300 Annual Fee as required. Duramax, S. A. filed this application with a mistake on Line 4. Where it asked "Date of Incorporation". Duramax, S. A. replied October 1974, meaning "Date of Applicat ion". Our Application Form for Regional Members is un satisfactory. For example, a Regional Member is a non-resident, so State of Incorporation is meaningless. Since an applicant does'nt have to be Incorporated, the "State of Incorporation" or "Date of Incorporation" can be meaningless. Actually, for non-residents the following are what count: Item 3 Principal Office Item 5 Length of Time dealing with friction materials. From my background, Duramax, S. A. has been around for many years - at least ten. I had heard of them several years ago, and have corresponded with them recently. A ballot is attached for your recommendation. EWD/erc Enclosure: E.

Dear C-entelmen: Our company is one of the major clutch facing manu facturers iB Mexico, and has been so for the last few years. We have been using a copy of your 1971 Automotive -- Data Book, that was given to us lately by one of our - clients and have found it very use Jull. From other sources we have learned that your Institute gives several services on which we are interested, so we-"" would like to know if we could be members, the cost of it, and what services we would get. Thank you in aduance. 11 s f Sincerely, DU KAx-iaA, Bii Ing. Ricardo Escobedo Jei'e de Produceidn FMSl 09954 September 16, 1974 Duramax, Inc. Kmiliano Zapata IS Pte. Da Vigas.Edo. Be Mexico Ap. Posted 10-880 Mexico 10, D. f. Attt Xag. Rlibardo Escobedo Gentlemen: This is to reply to your letter of September 4, 1974. As some of our efforts is involved with laws and certification of brake linings for purposes of highway safety, and X must assume that you are concerned primarily with clutch facings, X will not go into the Institute's activities in the brake lining area. There are two classes of Regional Members: 1. Regional Members (regular) 2. Regional Members, with U. S. Copyright Privileges (normally exporting to the 0. S. Market), While all fees are subject to change, and they usually go up not down, the figures which will be quoted are for our 1974-75 fiscal year only (July 1Juna 30 fiscal year). REGIONAL MEMBER (REGULAR) The annual fee for a Regional Member (Regular) is U. S, $1,300. This fee is established for manufacturers of brake linings and clutch facings outside of the United States who are entitled to all rights and privileges in use of the copyrighted FMSI numbers for Foreign distribution, but not for use of the United States copyright for distribution in the United States. REGIONAL MEMBERS WITH U. S. COPYRIGHT PRIVILEGES Since some Regional Members wished to use copyrighted FMSI numbers on their price lists, sales literature, cartons,and produets being exported to the United States, for all intents and purposes they would have all the rights of a domestic manu facturer. For this reason. Regional Members exporting to the United States pay the same annual fee that the United States manufacturers pay. FMSI 09955 Duramax, Inc. -2- September 16, 1974 The schedule for a Regional Member using the U. S. copyright Is as follows: Basic annual fee Additional category fee - U. S. $1,050.00 U. S. $ 650.00 ' As I assume you would be using the copyrighted FMSI numbering system only on clutch facings (not brake linings, brake blocks and new unlined brake shoes) you would have one category and your annual fee would be U. S. $1,700, if you wished U. S. Copyright privileges. ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTE While we have published several catalogs or booklets in the last two years, four of them pertained to brakes (brake shoes, diagnostics, brake blocks). Three catalogs with clutch facing included are: ' 1973 AUTOMOTIVE DATA BOOK 1974 SUPPLEMENT TO 1973 AUTOMOTIVE DATA BOOK 1974 CLUTCH FACINGS (a full listing) Bulletins are mailed to the members as soon as information is available on new releases by the vehicle manufacturers. In addition, prints are available from the Institute Office to all members for $.75 per print. Every time we issure a new bulletin, several of the members order copies of the new prints released in those bulletins. The members are entitled to buy in volume any of the FMSI catalogs. The members feel that having the Institute publish catalogs at much greater volume, they are able to save substantially on their catalog costs. Of course, if there are questions concerning new releases, the Institute tries to answer the members with the best information available. The Institute also represents the brake lining manufacturers and clutch facing manufacturers with the Asbestos Information Association of North America. The Institute coordinated a response that was made to the Illinois Pollution Control Board which intended to prohibit the use of asbestos in brake linings and clutch facings sold in the State of Illinois. Our Asbestos Study Committee has given input to the Asbestos Information Assoication as regards asbestos problems in the friction materials business. We also have passed information on to our membership concerning the latest OSHA and EPA regulations as concerns asbestos. The Chairman of our Asbestos Study Committee is one of the industry representatives on the Advisory Board that debated the asbestos regulations before they were issued. An example of a problem is that where brake linings or clutch facings are sold in the United States, and where these materials may have subsuquent drilling, grinding, or cutting, asbestos warning labels are required. We have given input to the regulators and have informed our members as to the requirements. FMSI COPYRIGHTED NUMBERING SYSTEM ' The Institute has all bulletins and publications copyrighted. Thenumbering systems with their meanings are in these publications and they are copyrighted. Thus if a customer Were ordering FMSI #909C clutch facing, he could order it from any FMSI 09956 Duramax, Inc. - 3- September 16, 1974 supplier and be certain he was getting the popular 9-1/8 x 6- 1/8 x .135 facing with the 36 DGAP drilling pattern for fit on the vehicles indicated in our catalogs. A member has the right to use these copyrighted numbers in his catalogs, sales literature, price sheets, cartons and on the facings themselves. The use of the copyrighted FMSI numbering system is considered most desirable when marketing clutch facings in the United States. Members may permit their distributors, jobbers, or rebuilders to use our copyrighted numbers in their literature. A non-member , is not permitted to use the copyrighted numbers, or to permit others to use them. I have attached a list of our Membership, copies of our Constitution and By-Laws, a booklet concerning the Institute, and an application form for Membership. If you wish to apply, please send in the completed application form, in English, along with your check for $1,300 (or $1,700). This check would be applied to the first year's membership. It normally takes about two months to process an application. Should you have other questions, please let me know. Sincerely, FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE EWD/erc Enclosure: E. W.
