SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of September 1, 2022 (this "Agreement"), between FORD CREDIT AUTO RECEIVABLES TWO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Depositor, and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, a national banking association, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee under this Agreement, for Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2022-C.

BACKGROUND

The parties created the Issuer under a Trust Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2020 (as amended and restated as of September 30, 2021), to engage in a securitization transaction sponsored by Ford Credit in which the Issuer will issue Notes secured by a pool of Receivables consisting of retail installment sale contracts originated by Ford Credit.

In connection with the securitization transaction, the parties have determined to amend and restate the existing Trust Agreement on the terms in this Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

Section 2.2.           Office. The office of the Issuer is in care of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee will maintain an office or agency where notices and demands to or on the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee designates its Corporate Trust Office for those purposes and will promptly notify the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee of a change in the location of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 2.3.           Purposes and Powers.

(a)            Permitted Activities. The purpose of the Issuer is, and the Issuer will have the power and authority, and is authorized, to engage in the following activities:

(b)            No Other Activity. The Issuer will not engage in any activity other than as required or authorized by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 2.4.           Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Issuer to have all the rights, powers and obligations in this Agreement.

Section 2.5.           Contribution and Sale of Trust Property. As of the date of the formation of the Issuer, the Depositor contributed to the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee acknowledged receipt of, the amount of $1, which is the initial Trust Property. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will sell to the Issuer the Sold Property in exchange for the Notes under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Section 2.6.           Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee will hold the Trust Property in trust under this Agreement for the use and benefit of the holder of the Residual Interest and subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. The parties intend that the Issuer is a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and that this Agreement is the governing instrument of the statutory trust. The Owner Trustee will have the rights, powers and obligations in this Agreement and in the Delaware Statutory Trust Act for accomplishing the purposes of the Issuer and engaging in any activity required or authorized by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. The parties intend that the activities of the Issuer be managed by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement. A Certificate of Trust substantially in the form of Exhibit A has been filed (originally or by amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The parties intend that the Issuer is a "business trust" within the meaning of Section 101(9)(a)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 2.7.           Limitations on Liability.

(a)            Liability of Depositor. The Depositor, as initial holder of the Residual Interest, will have the same limitation of personal liability as stockholders of a private for profit corporation organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(b)            Liability to Third Parties. Except as stated in this Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Administrator or their Affiliates or any of their directors, managers, officers or employees will be liable for the Issuer's debts, obligations or liabilities.

Section 2.8.           Title to Trust Property.

(a)            Title Vested in Issuer. Legal title to the Trust Property will be vested in the Issuer as a separate legal entity, except where applicable law in a jurisdiction requires title to the Trust Property to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title will be considered vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee appointed under this Agreement.

(b)            No Legal Title in Holder of Residual Interest. The holder of the Residual Interest has no legal title to any Trust Property. The holder of the Residual Interest will receive distributions on its Residual Interest only according to Article IV.

Section 2.9.           Location of Issuer. The Issuer will be administered in the States of Delaware and Illinois. Bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will be located in the State of Delaware. The Issuer will not have employees in a state other than the State of Delaware, except that U.S. Bank Trust National Association, in its capacity as Owner Trustee or another capacity, may have employees within or outside the State of Delaware. The Issuer will only receive payments in or make payments from the State of Delaware or the State in which the Indenture Trustee is located. The Issuer's principal office will be in care of the Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

Section 2.10.         Depositor's Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee as of the Closing Date:

(a)            Organization and Qualification. The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Depositor is qualified as a foreign limited liability company in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its properties or the conduct of its activities requires the qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain the qualifications, licenses or approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)            Power, Authority and Enforceability. The Depositor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Depositor has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable against the Depositor, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights or by general equitable principles.

(c)            No Conflicts and No Violation. The completion of the transactions under this Agreement, and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, will not (i) conflict with, or be a breach or default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document under which the Depositor is a debtor or guarantor, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on the Depositor's properties or assets under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document (other than the Sale and Servicing Agreement), (iii) violate the Depositor's certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement or (iv) violate a law or, to the Depositor's knowledge, an order, rule or regulation of a federal or State court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties that applies to the Depositor, which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)            No Proceedings. To the Depositor's knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or threatened in writing before a federal or State court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the completion of the transactions under this Agreement, (iii) seeking a determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor's ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or (iv) that would reasonably be expected to (A) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income or Applicable Tax State income or franchise tax purposes, (B) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (C) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in each case, other than proceedings that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor, the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or the Notes or the tax treatment of the Issuer or the Notes.

Section 2.11.         Tax Matters.

(a)            Disregarded Entity. The parties and Ford Credit intend that, for purposes of U.S. federal income, State and local income and franchise tax, so long as the Issuer has no equity owner other than the Depositor (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Issuer will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Depositor.

(b)            Recharacterized Classes. If beneficially owned for U.S. federal income tax purposes by a Person other than the Depositor, each Class of Notes is intended to be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Depositor agrees, and the Noteholders by acceptance of their Notes agree in the Indenture, to that treatment and each agrees to take no action inconsistent with that treatment. If one or more Classes of Notes is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer, and not as indebtedness (a "Recharacterized Class") and a Recharacterized Class is treated as not owned for U.S. federal income tax purposes by the same entity that owns the Issuer, the parties intend that the Issuer be characterized as a partnership among the Depositor (if it is at that time treated as an equity owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes), other holders, if any, of the Residual Interest and holders of the Recharacterized Class or Classes. In that event, for purposes of U.S. federal income, State and local income or franchise tax each month:

(i)             amounts paid as interest to holders of a Recharacterized Class will be treated as a guaranteed payment within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code;

(ii)            if the characterization in Section 2.11(b)(i) is not respected, gross ordinary income of the Issuer for that month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be allocated to the holders of each Recharacterized Class as of the Record Date occurring within that month, in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the interest accrued to the Recharacterized Class for that month, (B) the part of the market discount on the Receivables accrued during that month that is allocable to any excess of the aggregate initial Note Balance of the Recharacterized Class over the initial aggregate issue price of the Notes of the Recharacterized Class and (C) any amount expected to be distributed to the holders of that Class of Notes under Section 8.2 of the Indenture (if not previously allocated under this subsection (ii)) if necessary to reverse any net loss previously allocated to holders of the Notes of the Recharacterized Class (if not previously reversed under this clause (C)); and

(iii)            then, remaining net income of the Issuer (subject to the modifications below) for that month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, credit, loss or deduction for the computation of net income) will be allocated to the holder of the Residual Interest.

If the gross ordinary income of the Issuer for a month is insufficient for the allocations described in Section 2.11(b)(ii), gross ordinary income in later periods will first be allocated to each Recharacterized Class in alphabetical order (if applicable) to make up the shortfall before an allocation under Section 2.11(b)(iii). Any net losses of the Issuer for a month as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, credit, loss or deduction for the computation of net losses) will be allocated to the holder of the Residual Interest if the holder of the Residual Interest is reasonably expected to bear the economic burden of those net losses, and any remaining net losses will be allocated in reverse alphabetical order (if applicable) to each Recharacterized Class, in each case, until the Note Balance of the Recharacterized Class is reduced to zero as of the Record Date occurring within that month, and among the holders of the Recharacterized Class, in proportion to their ownership of the aggregate Note Balance of the Recharacterized Class on that Record Date. The partnership representative designated under Section 2.11(f) is authorized to modify the allocations in this Section 2.11(b) if necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the holder of the Residual Interest or the holders of a Recharacterized Class or as required by the Code.

(c)            Filing of Returns. The parties agree that, unless required by the tax authorities, the Depositor, on behalf of the Issuer, will file or cause to be filed annual or other returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterizations described in Section 2.11(a) and the first sentence of Section 2.11(b).

(d)            Elections. The Owner Trustee will not elect or cause the Issuer to elect, and no holder of the Residual Interest will elect or permit an election to be made, to treat the Issuer as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. If the Issuer is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Majority Equity Holder will or will cause the Issuer, to the extent eligible, to make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code for determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action necessary or appropriate for the election. If this election is not available, to the extent applicable, the Majority Equity Holder will or will cause the Issuer to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code for the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action necessary or appropriate for the election. However, the Majority Equity Holder is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including any other Code provisions for the same subject matter, and any related regulations (adopted or proposed) and administrative guidance (the "BBA Partnership Audit Rules") and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Issuer's activities under the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. Each holder and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Residual Interest or Recharacterized Class, shall promptly provide the Issuer, Depositor and Administrator any requested information, documentation or material to enable the Issuer to make any of the elections described in this clause (d) and otherwise comply with the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. For purposes of this Section 2.11, the "Majority Equity Holder" means the Depositor or, if it is no longer treated as holding an equity interest in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the holder of the greatest percentage of the equity interests in the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.11(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(e)            Alternative Treatment; Capital Accounts. If the Issuer is not treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Depositor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Administrator or the Owner Trustee will, based on information or instruction given by or on behalf of the Depositor, (i) maintain the books of the Issuer on the basis of a calendar year and the accrual method of accounting, (ii) deliver to each holder of the Residual Interest information required under the Code to enable the holder to prepare its U.S. federal and State income tax returns, (iii) file tax returns relating to the Issuer and make elections under any applicable U.S. federal or State statute and (iv) collect any withholding tax according to Section 4.1(d). The Administrator (or the Owner Trustee at the request of the Administrator) will also establish and maintain, according to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations, a separate bookkeeping account for the Depositor and each other person treated as an equity owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This Section 2.11(e) will be interpreted to comply with the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 of the Code and the Depositor is authorized to modify these provisions if necessary to comply with those regulations.

(f)            Partnership Representative. If the Issuer is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Majority Equity Holder will (i) prepare and sign, on behalf of the Issuer, the tax returns of the Issuer and (ii) be designated as the partnership representative of the Issuer under Section 6223(a) of the Code to the extent allowed under the law.

ARTICLE III
RESIDUAL INTEREST AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.1.           Residual Interest. The Depositor is the initial holder of the Residual Interest. The holder of the Residual Interest will receive any amounts not needed on a Payment Date to pay the Notes and the Issuer's other obligations under the Indenture and this Agreement, and any amounts remaining in the Reserve Account after payment in full of the Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed under the Transaction Documents to the Secured Parties on the termination of the Issuer.

Section 3.2.           Registration of Residual Interest. The Issuer appoints the Owner Trustee to be the "Trust Registrar" and to keep a register (the "Trust Register") of the holders of the Residual Interest and transfers of the Residual Interest. If the Trust Registrar resigns, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make the appointment, assume the obligations of Trust Registrar. The "holder of the Residual Interest" will be the Person registered as the holder of the Residual Interest on the Trust Register.

Section 3.3.           Transfer of Residual Interest. The holder of the Residual Interest will be permitted to sell, transfer, assign or convey its rights in the Residual Interest if the following conditions are satisfied:

(a)            Opinion of Counsel. The holder of the Residual Interest delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee stating that the action will not cause the Issuer to be or become characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation;

(b)            Tax Forms. The holder of the Residual Interest delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 stating that it is a "United States person" under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;

(c)            Nature of Tax Positions. The Depositor has notified the transferee of the Residual Interest of the tax positions previously taken by it, as holder of the Residual Interest, for U.S. federal and State income tax purposes and the transferee has agreed to take tax positions consistent with the tax positions previously taken by the Depositor;

(d)            ERISA Certification. The transferee of the Residual Interest delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a certification that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a "plan" (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA) by reason of the employee benefit plan's or plan's investment in the entity, or (iv) an employee benefit plan, plan or retirement arrangement that is subject to Similar Law; and

(e)            Rating Agency Condition. If the transferee of the Residual Interest is Ford Credit or an Affiliate of Ford Credit that is not a special-purpose, bankruptcy remote entity, the holder of the Residual Interest satisfies the Rating Agency Condition.

ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF TRUST PROPERTY

Section 4.1.           Application of Trust Property.

(a)            Distributions Under Indenture. Before the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, all distributions of Trust Property, including any distributions to the holder of the Residual Interest, will be made according to Article VIII of the Indenture.

(b)            Distributions Following Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee will distribute the Trust Property as directed by the holder of the Residual Interest.

(c)            Funds Deposited with Owner Trustee. All funds deposited with the Owner Trustee may be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and are not required to be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Agreement.

(d)            Withholding Tax. If federal withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer's payments (or allocations of income) to the holder of the Residual Interest made by the Owner Trustee, that tax will reduce the amount distributable to the holder. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to retain from amounts distributable to the holder of the Residual Interest a sufficient amount for the payment of the withholding tax that is legally owed by the Issuer. The Owner Trustee may contest the tax and withholding payment of the tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome. The amount of withholding tax imposed on the holder of the Residual Interest will be treated as cash distributed to the holder at the time it is withheld by the Issuer and paid to the taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable for a distribution, the Owner Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold those amounts. If the holder of the Residual Interest seeks to apply for a refund of the withholding tax, the Owner Trustee will cooperate with the holder in making the claim so long as the holder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for expenses incurred in cooperating.

ARTICLE V
OWNER TRUSTEE'S AUTHORITY AND OBLIGATIONS

Section 5.1.           General Authority.

(a)            Execution of Transaction Documents; Direction to Indenture Trustee.

(b)            Actions under Transaction Documents. The Owner Trustee is authorized, but not obligated, to take all actions required of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents and is authorized to take actions on behalf of the Issuer, if permitted by the Transaction Documents, that the Servicer or the Administrator directs, except if this Agreement requires the consent of the Noteholders or the holder of the Residual Interest for the action. In addition, the Administrator is authorized to take actions on behalf of the Issuer, if permitted by the Transaction Documents, according to the Administration Agreement.

Section 5.2.           General Obligations.

(a)            Obligations Under Transaction Documents. Subject to Section 5.3, the Owner Trustee will perform the obligations of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party. The Owner Trustee will administer the Issuer in the interest of the holder of the Residual Interest, subject to the Lien of the Indenture and according to the Transaction Documents.

(b)            Discharge of Liens. The Owner Trustee will promptly take, at its own expense, action necessary to discharge a Lien (other than the Lien of the Indenture) on the Trust Property resulting from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Property.

(c)            Obligations Performed by Administrator. The Owner Trustee will be considered to have performed its obligations under the Transaction Documents if the Administrator is required in the Administration Agreement to perform the obligations of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer.

(i)            starting or pursuing of a material Proceeding by the Issuer and the settlement of any material Proceeding brought by or against the Issuer;

(ii)           amending the Certificate of Trust (unless the amendment is required to be filed under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act), except to correct an ambiguity or to amend or supplement it in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes or the Residual Interest;

(iii)          appointing or engaging a successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or consenting to the assignment by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement; and

(b)            Rights; Liability; Resignation or Removal. Each separate trustee and co-trustee will, if permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following:

(i)            all rights, powers and obligations of the Owner Trustee will be exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and the separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that the separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in the act), except if under the law of each jurisdiction in which a particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee is incompetent or unqualified to perform the act or acts, in which event the rights, powers and obligations (including the holding of title to any Trust Property) may be exercised and performed separately by the separate trustee or co-trustee;

(ii)            no trustee under this Agreement will be personally liable for any act or failure to act by another trustee under this Agreement; and

(iii)            the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may accept the resignation of or remove a separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)            Joint or Separate Trusts. Any notice, request or other communication given to the Owner Trustee will be considered given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as if given to each of them. Every appointment of a separate trustee or co-trustee must refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, on its acceptance of the appointment, will be vested with the properties, trusts, rights and powers stated in its appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately. The Owner Trustee will keep a copy of the appointment in its files and will deliver a copy to the Administrator.

(d)            Owner Trustee as Agent. Any separate trustee or co-trustee may appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, if not prohibited by law, to do any act under this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If a separate trustee or co-trustee becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is removed, its properties, trusts, rights and powers will be vested in and may be exercised by the Owner Trustee, if permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 9.6.           Compliance with Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Issuer must have at least one trustee that meets the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.
