2014 Annual Report NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION Board of Trustees Robert P. Mallon Paul J. Holloway H. E. Derrick, Jr. James B. Appleton Peter E. Blackstock Chairman Vice Chairman Treasurer Secretary Victory Dealership Mallon Investment Co., Dreher-Holloway, Inc. Derrick Enterprises New Jersey Coalition Group LLC Greenland, Lexington, Virginia of Automotive Retailers Seaside, California Tacoma, Washington New Hampshire Trenton, New Jersey The Chairman’s Message If you were charged with the responsibility of transcending space and time to honor someone, how would you accomplish that? There are many ways you could do that but coupling it William Bradshaw Larry T. Brown William R. Chapin Raymond J. Ciccolo Tarik S. Daoud Leonard W. Fichtner with an endeavor to help others is the best way. The National Automobile Dealers Charitable Bradshaw Automotive Ottawa, Illinois Automotive Hall Village Automotive Long Family Auto Fichtner Chevrolet Group, Inc. of Fame Group Warren, Michigan Laurel, Montana Foundation has assisted hundreds of people in need throughout the years. And it was three Greer, South Carolina Dearborn, Michigan Boston, Massachusetts gentlemen who made a significant mark in their spheres of influence in order to do that. In all three cases, these men were outstanding husbands and fathers, and their accomplishments are forever etched in time through their families and charitable contributions. Joseph J. Sanchez was a man of humble origin who faced hardships such as the death of his father and the debilitating effects of polio at a young age. Thanks to his mother’s guidance, Joe found the strength to not just survive, but flourish. He forged an amazing career as a General Motors executive and served for many years as vice president and general manager of the Oldsmobile Division. He reached a pinnacle when he became Mark S. Herrmann Robert C. Israel Jack Kain Bruce M. Kelleher Shau-wai Lam Jack R. Leigh Chappaqua, New York Louisiana Automobile Jack Kain Ford Vienna, Virginia DCH Auto Group Leigh Automotive president of General Motors South America. He eventually became the first president of Saturn Corporation. Tragically, within Dealers Association Versailles, Kentucky South Amboy, Tuscaloosa, Alabama two weeks after that achievement, Joe passed away. His work and life are perpetuated in a college scholarship program that Baton Rouge, Louisiana New Jersey helps students with emergency needs. John P. Winston, Sr., is also special to our retail automobile family, as he served as general counsel of the National Automobile Dealers Association for decades. When he was not attending to legal matters he was working faithfully on the Sanchez Memorial Fund to help students in need. After his death, many people were moved to establish a memorial fund to honor him. Frank E. McCarthy had a life and career marked with a deep passion for his family and his desire to help others. He spent Cody Lusk Marcy Maguire Michael E. Martini H. Carter Myers, III Joseph D. O’Brien, Jr. Jenell Ross more than 33 years as chief operating officer of NADA, leading the association to become a forceful and respected advocate for American International Windsor Nissan Bridgestone OE Colonial Auto Center O’Brien Auto Team Bob Ross Buick GMC dealers everywhere. The Frank E. McCarthy Memorial Fund honors his memory through donations to Canine Companions for Automobile Dealers East Windsor, Division Charlottesville, Virginia Shelbyville, Kentucky Dayton, Ohio Association New Jersey Dearborn, Michigan Independence, which presents highly trained service dogs to children with disabilities and to wounded veterans. Alexandria, Virginia The Joseph J. Sanchez Memorial Fund has donated more than $550,000 to students in need; the John P. Winston, Sr. Memorial Fund has given more than $500,000 for the discipline of ethics; and the Frank E. McCarthy Memorial Fund, has proudly given $250,000 to help children with disabilities and wounded veterans. On behalf of the Sanchez, Winston, and McCarthy families—and on behalf of our NADA family—we are truly proud to say we’ve continued the legacy of these great men and will forever remember them through space and time.

INTRODUCTION: THE COMPACT VERSION This article discusses how, in the General Motors Corporation (General Motors or GM)1 chapter 11 case, a group of creditors—mostly collateralized loan obligations, hedge funds, pension, and other funds2— (the Funds or the Lenders3) were paid in full, in cash, even though they had no right to the payment, which amounted to almost $1.5 billion. Not only were the Funds paid in full, but in addition, their collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan), is being reimbursed for millions of dollars of legal fees, even though it has no legal right to the reimbursement.4 These improper payments occurred (and continue to occur) even though many other creditors—unsecured bondholders,5 tort creditors, mom and pop business whose existence depend on being paid * Associate Professor, Texas Tech School of Law.

    "The Rise and Fall of Saturn." (PDF)

    The Rise and Fall of Saturn In the 1980s, some labor leaders and their management counterparts in highly unionized firms could see this picture unfolding and began searching for new directions in labor-management relations. Progressive labor leaders such as UAW vice-president Don Ephlin and his corporate counterpart at GM, Al Warren, fostered a series of innovations that laid the foundation for the spread of new work systems. As we will see, these new ways of working (new for the 1980s) are still source of debate today. In fact we see them as critical to building a successful knowledge based economy and creating and sustaining good jobs for the next generation. In short, what some call “high road” or “high performance work systems” are essential to building a new Social Contract that works for all key parties—employers, employees, and the economy and society. If this is so, you might ask a very good, hard question: Why don’t all firms simply embrace and put these “high performance work systems” in place? Perhaps the best way to answer this question and to convey the lessons from these new systems of work that Ephlin, Warren, and other visionary leaders like them championed is to tell the story of the rise and fall of the Saturn Corporation.1 If you drive through the hills of middle Tennessee on I-65 about 40 miles south of Nashville you’ll encounter a curious exit for the Saturn Parkway. And if you venture to see where it goes, eventually a large industrial complex will appear at another exit, to the Donald F.

    FITTING TEAMS TO THE TASK: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT VS. OPERATIONS IMPROVEMENT AT SATURN AND NUMMI Sharon Novak Charles H. Fine Sloan School of Management Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 February, 1996 Abstract In the automotive industry, Saturn and NUMMI are often touted as exemplars of successful implementation of manufacturing employee involvement. Building on data and extended on-site interviews, this paper explores the differences between the approaches taken at each plant and the relationship between worker involvement and plant performance. Based on this comparison, we offer a model to assess the fit between employee involvement activity emphasis (product development vs. operations improvement) and timescale of the involvement process. 1 FITTING TEAMS TO THE TASK: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT VS. OPERATIONS IMPROVEMENT AT SATURN AND NUMMI1 From the 1970’s to the present, the achievements of Japanese auto makers such as Toyota, as well as the productive success of the Toyota-General Motors joint venture New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI ) has given rise to a great deal of study on the nature of the Japanese competitive advantage. Much of the current management literature has focused on the team-based organization of such firms, arguing that greater involvement of workers in the automotive process has fueled improvements in productivity. 2 This view, that more worker - based responsibility is better for plant productivity, inspired organizational efforts at both Saturn Corporation, a General Motors

    Monir “Lou” Sobh 2233 Grady Ridge Trail Duluth, GA 30097 The following is a brief history of the life and experiences of Lou Sobh. I was born in Torreon, Coahulia Mexico in 1944 where I went on to attend grade school and high school. As a result of the poor economy in Mexico, my parents sought a better opportunity for my four brothers and myself by moving to Gary, Indiana in 1960. After we moved to Gary, I faced the challenge of learning the English language and seeking employment. I started working as a janitor in a Shoppers World department store. At the same time, I worked as a busboy in a local restaurant. My family and I (a total of seven people) lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Gary, Indiana. While working as a janitor, I continued to teach myself English. As the result of hard work, self determination and the example set by my father who worked 15 hours a day, 365 days a year in his grocery store, I learned English well enough in six months to be promoted to a department manager at Shoppers World. I continued to work at the department store for two years. However, I was in a town where steel mills provided good-paying jobs. In 1962, I was employed by the Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, Indiana. I worked there for approximately three years as a steel production worker. U.S. Steel Tubeworks gave me an opportunity to move up in the organization as a Foreman Expediter. I worked for U.S.
