FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of August 1, 2001, as amended and restated as of December 1, 2010 (this “Agreement”), among FORD CREDIT FLOORPLAN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FCF LLC”), as Depositor, FORD CREDIT FLOORPLAN MASTER OWNER TRUST A, a Delaware statutory trust, as Issuer, and FORD MOTOR CREDIT COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Servicer.

BACKGROUND

The parties to this Agreement intend to amend and restate the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2001, as previously amended and restated as of December 19, 2002, September 1, 2005, May 1, 2008 and October 1, 2009, among the parties on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Pursuant to this Agreement, the parties have provided for the sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of certain Receivables originated in the Accounts and for the servicing of such Receivables by the Servicer. Such Receivables have been purchased by the Depositor from Ford Credit, as Seller, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, upon the sale of such Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, will secure the Notes issued by the Issuer from time to time under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplements.

Pursuant to a sale and servicing agreement among FCF Corp, the Issuer and the Servicer, FCF Corp has also agreed to sell to the Issuer receivables that have been purchased by FCF Corp under a separate receivables purchase agreement between it and the Seller, and such receivables will also secure the Notes to be issued by the Issuer.

The parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
USAGE AND DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1. Usage and Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Appendix A. Appendix A also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Agreement. Appendix A is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Section 1.2. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in full the Fourth Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2001, as amended and restated as of October 1, 2009, between the parties with effect as of the date of this Agreement, and it is confirmed by the parties that (a) all prior actions made pursuant to such Fourth Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement are effective as if made under this Agreement on the date made, and (b) no provision of this Agreement is intended to result in the duplication of any such prior action of any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as set out in this Agreement, would reasonably be expected to have an Adverse Effect on the Noteholders of a Series issued before the date of this Agreement or would not otherwise be permitted, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such amendment will not be effective as against such Noteholders and the corresponding provision of

the Fourth Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement, will continue to govern as it relates to such Noteholders and such Series.

ARTICLE II
SALE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.1. Sale of Receivables.

(a) The Depositor sells and assigns, without recourse (except as provided in this Agreement), to the Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the following property on and as of the dates specified below:

(i) on the first Closing Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Initial Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Depositor at the close of business on the Cutoff Date, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (C) all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Sold Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(ii) on the applicable Addition Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Additional Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Depositor at the close of business on the applicable Additional Cutoff Date, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (C) all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Sold Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

(iii) on each Sale Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Account on such Sale Date and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Depositor at the close of business on the applicable Sale Date and not previously sold to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (C) all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Sold Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(b) The foregoing sales, and any subsequent sales of additional assets, do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, Ford or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the related Receivables or under any related agreement or instrument, including any obligation to any Dealers or Ford. The foregoing sales are not sales of the Accounts, but rather are sales of the Sold Receivables originated in the Accounts.

(c) In connection with the foregoing sales, the Depositor will record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 or any other applicable form (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Sold Receivables sold by the

Depositor for the sale, for UCC purposes, of “tangible chattel paper,” “payment intangibles,” “general intangibles” or “accounts” (each as defined in the UCC), meeting the requirements of Applicable Law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment, for UCC purposes, of the Sold Receivables and the Related Security to the Issuer, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Issuer on or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. The Owner Trustee will be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing under Applicable Law in connection with such sales if the Issuer has appointed the Administrator to act in such capacity.

(d) The Depositor and the Issuer intend that all transfers of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute valid sales of such Sold Receivables and not transfers of such Sold Receivables as security for a loan. However, if the transfers of the Sold Receivables under this Agreement were to be characterized as transfers as security for a loan, then (i) the Depositor will have Granted, and Grants, to the Issuer a security interest in each Sold Receivable and the Related Security whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a security agreement. For tax purposes, the Depositor and the Issuer intend that all sales of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute transfers of such Sold Receivables as security for a loan.

(e) On or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on or before the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, the Depositor will, at its own expense:

(i) cause the Seller to indicate in its computer files as required by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, that the Sold Receivables and the Related Security have been (A) sold and assigned to the Depositor pursuant to the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, (B) sold and assigned by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and (C) pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture and the Indenture Supplements;

(ii) in the case of the Initial Accounts, deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee the Initial Account Schedule; and

(iii) in the case of Additional Accounts, deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee an Additional Account Schedule.

(f) On or prior to April 30th of each year, or upon the request of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor will deliver (or cause the Seller to deliver) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee the entire Account Schedule.

(g) The Account Schedule, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time will be marked as Schedule A and is incorporated into and made a part of this

Agreement. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee are under any obligation to verify the accuracy or completeness of the Account Schedule at any time.

Section 2.2. Acceptance by Issuer. The Issuer accepts all right, title and interest previously held by the Depositor to the property, now existing and hereafter created, conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.1. The Issuer confirms that, on or before the first Closing Date, it received the Initial Account Schedule.

Section 2.3. Representations and Warranties of Depositor Relating to Itself and this Agreement.

(a) Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer (and agrees that the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on each such representation and warranty in accepting the Sold Receivables on behalf of the Issuer and in authenticating the Notes, respectively) as of each Closing Date (unless another date is specified below) that:

(i) Organization and Qualification. The Depositor is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Depositor is qualified as a foreign limited liability company or other legal entity 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 such qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain such qualifications, licenses or approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(ii) Power, Authorization and Enforceability. The Depositor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to acquire, own and sell the Sold Receivables and the other Trust Property and has duly authorized the sale of the Receivables and other Trust Property to the Issuer by all necessary action. The Depositor has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party 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 laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

(iii) No Conflicts and No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Depositor is a party will not (A) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument under which the Depositor is a debtor or guarantor, (B) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Depositor pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan

agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement), (C) violate the Organizational Documents of the Depositor, or (D) violate any law or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties, in each case which conflict, breach, default, Lien, or violation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(iv) No Proceedings. To the Depositor’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of any of the Transaction Documents or any of the Notes, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of any of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, (C) seeking any 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, any of the Transaction Documents or any of the Notes, or (D) relating to Ford Credit or the Depositor that would reasonably be expected to (1) affect the treatment of any of the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (2) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of any of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (3) 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 such proceedings that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Depositor or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or any of the Notes, or materially and adversely affect the tax treatment of the Issuer or any of the Notes.

(v) Valid Sale. This Agreement or the related Assignment constitutes a valid sale and assignment to the Issuer of all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Sold Receivables originated in the Initial Accounts or the Additional Accounts, as applicable, and the Related Security and the proceeds thereof and all of the Depositor’s rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to the Sold Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, in each case, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.1(c) and, in the case of the Sold Receivables and the Related Security hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Issuer will have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property, subject to Permitted Liens. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, neither the Depositor nor any Person claiming through or under it has any claim to or interest in the Trust Property.

(b) Reassignment upon Breach. The representations and warranties in Section 2.3(a) survive the sale and assignment of the Sold Receivables and Related Security to the Issuer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer of a material breach of any of these representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach will give prompt notice to the other parties. If any breach by the Depositor of a representation or

warranty in Section 2.3(a) has a material adverse effect on the Sold Receivables, then the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, by notice to the Depositor, may require the Depositor to accept reassignment of all the Sold Receivables on or before the first day of the first Collection Period that begins more than 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach by the Depositor, or receipt by the Depositor of notice of such breach from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer unless, by the first day of such Collection Period the representations and warranties in Section 2.3(a) are then true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect on the Sold Receivables caused by such breach has been cured. Notice of the reassignment of the Sold Assets pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) will be contained in the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such reassignment occurs.

(c) Consideration for Reassignment. In consideration for the reassignment of the Sold Assets required by Section 2.3(b), the Depositor will deposit an amount equal to its pro rata portion of the sum of the Reassignment Amounts for each Series into the Collection Account on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date occurring during the Collection Period in which such reassignment is to occur, and such amount will be paid to the Noteholders on such Payment Date in accordance with the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement in payment of the Notes, and will result in a corresponding increase in the Depositor Interest. Upon the Depositor’s payment of its pro rata portion of the sum of the Reassignment Amounts, the Issuer will without further action be deemed to sell and assign to the Depositor, with effect as of the date such reassignment occurs and without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under the Sold Assets. In connection with any such reassignment, the Owner Trustee will upon Issuer Order, at the Depositor’s expense, execute such documents and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Depositor to effect the conveyance of such Sold Assets pursuant to this Section 2.3(c). The obligation of the Depositor to accept such reassignment and make the required deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) constitutes the sole remedy for a breach specified in Section 2.3(b) available to the Noteholders (or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties).

Section 2.4. Representations and Warranties of Depositor Relating to Sold Receivables and Accounts.

(a) Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer that:

(i) As of the first Closing Date, any Addition Date or any Sale Date, as the case may be, the Sold Receivables and the Related Security sold to the Issuer on such date, are free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by it in connection with the sale of such Sold Receivables and Related Security have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.

(ii) Each (A) Initial Account was an Eligible Account as of the Cutoff Date, (B) Additional Account is an Eligible Account as of the applicable Additional Cutoff Date and (C) Account is an Eligible Account as of each Series Cutoff Date.

(iii) As of the first Closing Date, any Addition Date or any Sale Date, as the case may be, each Sold Receivable sold to the Issuer on such date, is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Sold Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Sold Receivable is being sold in accordance with Section 2.9.

(iv) As of the first Closing Date or any Addition Date, as the case may be, no selection procedures reasonably believed by the Depositor to be adverse to the interests of the Noteholders were used in selecting such Initial Accounts or Additional Accounts, as applicable.

(v) As of the Cutoff Date, the Initial Account Schedule was true and correct in all material respects. As of the applicable Additional Cutoff Date, the Additional Account Schedule was true and correct in all material respects. As of the applicable Redesignation Date, the Redesignated Account Schedule was true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Representations and Warranties as to Security Interest. If the transfer of the Sold Receivables is characterized as a transfer as security for a loan as described in Section 2.1(d), the Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer that:

(i) Except as may be permitted in the Transaction Documents, this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Sold Assets in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(ii) The Seller has represented that it has taken all steps necessary to perfect the security interest against each obligor in the Vehicles securing the Receivables.

(iii) The Sold Assets constitute “tangible chattel paper,” “accounts,” “payment intangibles” and/or “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iv) Immediately prior to its transfer under this Agreement, the Depositor owned and had good and marketable title to the Sold Assets free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Sold Assets to Grant to the Issuer all of its interest and rights in the Sold Assets, except to the extent that any requirement for consent or approval is rendered ineffective under the applicable UCC.

(v) The Depositor has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest Granted in the Sold Assets to the Issuer. Ford or Ford Credit has in its possession all original copies of the sale or financing agreements that constitute or evidence the Receivables and will hold all such agreements or related documents for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties of the Issuer. Such agreements do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

(vi) Other than the security interest Granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any Permitted Lien, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Sold Assets. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering any part of the Sold Assets, other than any financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Issuer or financing statements relating to Permitted Liens. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

(vii) All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor, or any assignor of which the Depositor is the assignee, in favor of the Issuer in connection with this Agreement describing the Sold Assets contain a statement substantially to the following effect: “The purchase of or grant of a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Parties.”

The representations and warranties in this Section 2.4(b) will survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) may not be waived by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(c) Reassignment upon Breach. The representations and warranties in Section 2.4(a) and (b) survive the sale and assignment of the Sold Receivables and the Related Security to the Issuer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer of a material breach of any of these representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach will give prompt notice to the other parties. If any breach by the Depositor of a representation or warranty in Section 2.4(a) or (b) has a material adverse effect on a Sold Receivable, then the Depositor will accept reassignment of such Sold Receivable on or before the first day of the first Collection Period that begins more than 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach by the Depositor, or receipt by the Depositor of notice of such breach from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer unless, by the first day of such Collection Period, the representations and warranties in Section 2.4(a) and (b) are then true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect on such Sold Receivable caused by the breach has been cured. Notice of the reassignment of a Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) will be contained in the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such reassignment occurs.

(d) Consideration for Reassignment. In consideration for the reassignment of a Sold Receivable required by Section 2.4(c), the Depositor will direct the Servicer to deduct, subject to the next sentence, the principal amount of such Sold Receivable from the Pool Balance on the date such reassignment occurs and the Depositor Amount will be decreased by the amount of such deduction. If, following such deduction, the Depositor Amount is less than the Required Depositor Amount on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, payments, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the following Payment Date), then no later than 12:00 noon on the day on which such reassignment occurs, the Depositor will deposit the amount by which the Depositor Amount would be less than such Required Depositor Amount (up to the principal amount of such Sold Receivable) into the Excess Funding Account; provided, however, that if such amount is not deposited, then the principal amount of such Sold Receivable will be deducted from the Pool Balance to the extent that the Depositor Amount is not reduced below the Required Depositor Amount and such Sold Receivable will not be

reassigned to the Depositor and will remain part of the Trust Property. After deduction or deposit by the Depositor, as applicable, the Issuer will without further action be deemed to sell and assign to the Depositor, with effect as of the date such reassignment occurs and without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Sold Receivable and the Related Security. In connection with any such reassignment, the Owner Trustee will, at the Depositor’s expense, execute such documents and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Depositor to effect the conveyance of such Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.4(d). The obligation of the Depositor to accept reassignment of any such Sold Receivable and to make the deductions or deposits, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) constitutes the sole remedy for a breach specified in Section 2.4(c) available to the Noteholders (or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties).

Section 2.5. Covenants of Depositor. The Depositor covenants to the Issuer that:

(a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances provided or permitted in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Depositor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on, any Sold Receivable or any Related Security, or the Depositor’s rights, remedies, powers or privileges with respect to such Sold Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Depositor will defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under such Sold Receivables and the Related Security, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Depositor.

(b) Certain Allocations of Collections. The Depositor agrees that, subject to Applicable Law and any related Floorplan Financing Agreement, it will allocate Collections in respect of each Account between the Receivables owned by the Issuer and the Receivables that are not owned by the Issuer as follows:

(i) Principal Collections will be allocated to the Receivable that relates to the Vehicle whose sale or lease generated such Collections; and

(ii) Interest Collections will be allocated to the Issuer on the basis of the ratio of the principal amount of the Receivables in such Account owned by the Issuer on the date of determination to the total principal amount of Receivables in such Account on such date.

(c) Delivery of Collections. If the Depositor, the Seller or any of their Affiliates receives payments in respect of the Sold Receivables, the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, will pay or cause to be paid to the Servicer all such payments no later than two Business Days after receipt and application to the Sold Receivables.

(d) Notice of Liens. The Depositor will notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Sold Receivable, other than Permitted Liens.

(e) Compliance with Law. The Depositor will comply in all material respects with Applicable Law.

(f) Depositor Interest. Except for (i) the conveyances under this Agreement, in connection with any transaction permitted by Section 4.2 and as provided in Section 2.2 of the Indenture or (ii) conveyances with respect to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the conveyances will not (A) cause any Note to be deemed sold or exchanged for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code or (B) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes has been delivered, the Depositor agrees not to sell, transfer or assign or pledge, hypothecate or otherwise xxxxx x Xxxx in the Depositor Interest owned by it and any such attempted sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or grant will be void; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(f) prevents the owner of an interest in the Depositor Interest from granting to an Affiliate a participation interest or other beneficial interest in the rights to receive cash flows related to its interest in the Depositor Interest so long as (A) such interest does not grant such Affiliate any rights in, or delegate to such Affiliate any obligations or duties under, this Agreement, (B) the transferor of such interest obtains the prior consent of the Depositor and (C) after giving effect to such transfer, the interest in the Depositor Interest owned directly by the Depositor, together with the interests of any other Depositors that are Affiliates of Ford Credit, represent an ownership interest in the Trust Property equal to at least 2% of the Adjusted Pool Balance.

(g) Compliance with Indenture, etc. The Depositor will observe and perform all obligations, duties, covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and expressed in such documents to be observed or performed by the Depositor as if the Depositor were a party to the Indenture or such Indenture Supplement, as applicable.

(h) Delivery of Documents. The Depositor will provide to the Servicer all Floorplan Financing Agreements and all other documents in its possession or control that evidence the Receivables and all other documents that are required by the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

Section 2.6. Designation of Additional Accounts.

(a) Required Addition. If, at the end of any Collection Period, the Net Adjusted Pool Balance is less than the Required Pool Balance, then the Depositor will, within ten Business Days following the end of such Collection Period, designate additional Eligible Accounts as Additional Accounts such that, after giving effect to the sale to the Issuer on the applicable Addition Date of all Sold Receivables in such Additional Accounts, the Net Adjusted Pool Balance on such Addition Date will be at least equal to the Required Pool Balance. The failure of the Depositor to sell Sold Receivables to the Issuer as provided in this Section 2.6(a) solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Receivables will not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such failure will nevertheless result in the occurrence of a Trust Amortization Event.

(b) Optional Addition. The Depositor may from time to time, at its sole discretion, designate additional Eligible Accounts as Additional Accounts and sell to the Issuer the Sold Receivables and the Related Security originated in such Additional Accounts. In addition to the conditions specified in Section 2.6(c), any additional Eligible Accounts designated by the

Depositor pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) will be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition if, as a result of such addition, either:

(i) the aggregate number of Additional Accounts designated pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) and any similar provision in any other Sale and Servicing Agreement in any calendar quarter or the aggregate principal amount of Receivables originated in such Additional Accounts as of the related Additional Cutoff Dates in such calendar quarter exceeds 10% of the number of all Accounts or 10% of the Pool Balance, respectively, on the first day of such calendar quarter; or

(ii) the aggregate number of Additional Accounts designated pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) and any similar provision in any other Sale and Servicing Agreement in any calendar year or the aggregate principal amount of Receivables originated in such Additional Accounts as of the related Additional Cutoff Dates in such calendar year exceeds 20% of the number of all Accounts or 20% of the Pool Balance, respectively, on the first day of such calendar year.

(c) Conditions. The Depositor is permitted to sell to the Issuer the Sold Receivables originated in any Additional Accounts designated pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (b) only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or before the related Addition Date:

(i) the Depositor has delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Addition Notice not less than two Business Days and not more than 30 days before the related Addition Date;

(ii) the Depositor has delivered to the Owner Trustee an Assignment and the Additional Account Schedule in accordance with Section 2.1(e);

(iii) the Depositor has delivered to the Servicer all Collections related to such Additional Accounts relating to the time period on or after the Additional Cutoff Date;

(iv) the Depositor has represented and warranted to the Issuer that:

(A) as of the date of the Addition Notice and the Addition Date, none of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer is insolvent or will be made insolvent by such sale and none of them is aware of any events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to lead to its insolvency; and

(B) the addition of the Sold Receivables originated in such Additional Accounts will not, in the reasonable belief of the Depositor, cause an Amortization Event to occur;

(v) the Depositor has delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (A) an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the Sold Receivables in the Additional Accounts substantially in the form of Exhibit C and (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such addition will not (1) cause any Note to be deemed sold or exchanged for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code or (2) cause the Issuer to be treated as an

association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

(vi) the Depositor has delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the conditions in clauses (i) through (v) above have been satisfied.

(d) Reassignment upon Breach. By the delivery of an Assignment for the designation of Additional Accounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Depositor will be deemed to make the representations and warranties in Section 2.6(c)(iv). These representations and warranties survive the sale and assignment of the Sold Receivables and Related Security to the Issuer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer of a material breach of any representation or warranty in Section 2.6(c)(iv), the party discovering such breach will give prompt notice to the other parties. If any breach by the Depositor of a representation or warranty in Section 2.6(c)(iv) has a material adverse effect on the Sold Receivables, then the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, by notice to the Depositor, may require the Depositor to accept reassignment of all or such portion of the Sold Receivables originated in the Additional Accounts designated by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.6 sufficient to cure such breach on or before the first day of the first Collection Period that begins more than 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach by the Depositor, or receipt by the Depositor of notice of any such breach given by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer unless, by the first day of such Collection Period, the representations and warranties of the Depositor in Section 2.6(c)(iv) are then true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect on the Sold Receivables caused by such breach has been cured. Notice of the reassignment of a Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) will be contained in the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such reassignment occurs.

(e) Consideration for Reassignment. In consideration for the reassignment of a Sold Receivable pursuant to Section 2.6(d), the Depositor will direct the Servicer to deduct, subject to the next sentence, the principal amount of such Sold Receivable from the Pool Balance on the date such reassignment occurs and the Depositor Amount will be decreased by the amount of such deduction. If, following such deduction, the Depositor Amount is less than the Required Depositor Amount on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be made on the following Payment Date), then no later than 12:00 noon on the day on which such reassignment occurs, the Depositor will deposit the amount by which the Depositor Amount would be less than such Required Depositor Amount (up to the principal amount of such Sold Receivable) into the Excess Funding Account; provided, however, that if such amount is not deposited, then the principal amount of such Sold Receivable will be deducted from the Pool Balance to the extent that the Depositor Amount is not reduced below the Required Depositor Amount and such Sold Receivable will not be reassigned to the Depositor and will remain part of the Trust Property. After deduction or deposit by the Depositor, as applicable, the Issuer will without further action be deemed to sell and assign to the Depositor, with effect as of the date such reassignment occurs and without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Sold Receivable and the Related Security. In connection with any such reassignment, the Owner Trustee will, at the Depositor’s expense, execute such documents and take such other actions as

are reasonably requested by the Depositor to effect the conveyance of such Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.6(e). The obligation of the Depositor to accept reassignment of any such Sold Receivable and to make the deductions or deposits, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) constitutes the sole remedy for a breach specified in Section 2.6(d) available to the Noteholders (or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties).

Section 2.7. Redesignation of Eligible Accounts.

(a) Optional Redesignation. The Depositor may from time to time, at its sole discretion, redesignate any Eligible Accounts as Redesignated Accounts and accept reassignment of, and thereby remove from the Trust Property, all Sold Receivables and Related Security in connection with such Redesignated Accounts.

(b) Conditions. Any redesignation of Accounts as provided in Section 2.7(a) is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a Redesignation Notice not less than two Business Days and not more than 30 days before the applicable Redesignation Date;

(ii) the Depositor has delivered to the Servicer a notice directing the Servicer to select as Redesignated Accounts, Eligible Accounts designated to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Sale and Servicing Agreement with an aggregate principal amount of Receivables approximately equal the principal amount of Receivables specified by the Depositor to be removed from the Trust Property on the applicable Redesignation Date;

(iii) the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) has, on or before the applicable Redesignation Date, delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee the applicable Redesignated Account Schedule;

(iv) the Depositor has represented and warranted to the Issuer that:

(A) the redesignation of any such Eligible Accounts on the applicable Redesignation Date and the reassignment of the related Sold Receivables will not, in the reasonable belief of the Depositor, cause an Amortization Event to occur;

(B) the redesignation of any such Eligible Accounts on the applicable Redesignation Date and the reassignment of the related Sold Receivables will not, in the reasonable belief of the Depositor, cause the Net Adjusted Pool Balance to be less than the Required Pool Balance; and

(C) the Eligible Accounts selected as Redesignated Accounts were not chosen through a selection process that was materially adverse to the interests of the Noteholders or the holders of the Depositor Interest;

(v) the Depositor has, on or before the applicable Redesignation Date, delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such redesignation will not (A) cause any Note to be deemed sold or exchanged for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code or (B) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

(vi) the Depositor has delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the conditions in clauses (i) through (v) above have been satisfied.

On the Redesignation Date for any such Redesignated Account, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under the related Sold Receivables and Related Security, will be deemed sold and assigned to the Depositor without recourse, representation or warranty and removed from the Trust Property for all purposes and in consideration for such conveyance the Depositor Interest will be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of such Sold Receivables. After such Redesignation Date and upon the request of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee will deliver to the Depositor a Reassignment.

(c) Reconveyance upon Breach. By accepting a redesignation of Accounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Depositor will be deemed to make the representations and warranties in Section 2.7(b)(iv). These representations and warranties survive the reassignment of the related Sold Receivables and Related Security from the Issuer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer of a material breach of any representation or warranty in Section 2.7(b)(iv), the party discovering such breach will give prompt notice to the other parties. If any breach by the Depositor of a representation or warranty in Section 2.7(b)(iv) has a material adverse effect on the remaining Sold Receivables, then the Depositor will reconvey to the Issuer all the related Sold Receivables and Related Security, including all amounts received by the Depositor in respect of such Sold Receivables from the date of the redesignation that gave rise to such breach, through the date of return, on or before the first day of the first Collection Period that begins more than 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach by the Depositor, or receipt by the Depositor of notice of any such breach given by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer unless, by the first day of such Collection Period, the representations and warranties of the Depositor in Section 2.7(b)(iv) are then true and correct in all material respects and any material adverse effect on the remaining Sold Receivables caused by such breach has been cured. Upon any such reconveyance, the original redesignation of the related Accounts will be deemed void and of no effect for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the case of any material breach of a representation or warranty in Section 2.7(b)(iv)(B), the Depositor may also cure such breach by designating Additional Accounts pursuant to Section 2.6(b), in lieu of or in combination with a reconveyance of the related Sold Receivables and related proceeds provided in the preceding sentence. Notice of the reconveyance of Sold Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) will be contained in the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such reconveyance occurs.

Section 2.8. Redesignation of Ineligible Accounts.

(a) On the first day of the Collection Period following the date on which the Servicer’s records indicate that an Account has become an Ineligible Account, the Depositor will be required to redesignate such Account as a Redesignated Account in the manner provided in Section 2.8(b) or (c), as applicable.

(b) With respect to each Performance Impaired Ineligible Account, the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) will:

(i) by the Determination Date occurring in the month in which the Redesignation Date for such Account occurs, deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a Redesignation Notice specifying the Redesignation Date (which notice may be incorporated into the related Monthly Investor Report, in which case the Redesignation Date will be deemed to be the first day of the related Collection Period);

(ii) by the Determination Date occurring in the month in which the Redesignation Date for such Account occurs, deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee the applicable Redesignated Account Schedule; and

(iii) from and after the applicable Redesignation Date, cease to sell to the Issuer any and all Sold Receivables originated in the Redesignated Account; provided, however, that the Sold Receivables that were sold to the Issuer before such Redesignation Date may, at the sole option of the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Issuer, (A) be reassigned by the Issuer to the Depositor together with the related Redesignated Account, but only if the aggregate principal amount of Sold Receivables so reassigned to either Depositor during the 12-month period ending on such Redesignation Date does not exceed 3.0% of the average Pool Balance for such 12-month period or (B) remain in the Issuer as Trust Property.

In consideration of any such reassignment, the Depositor Interest will be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of such reassigned Sold Receivables.

(c) With respect to each Ineligible Account other than a Performance Impaired Ineligible Account, the Depositor (or the Servicer on its behalf) will:

(i) by the Determination Date occurring in the month in which the Redesignation Date for such Account occurs, deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a Redesignation Notice specifying such Redesignation Date (which notice may be incorporated into the related Monthly Investor Report, in which case the Redesignation Date will be deemed to be the first day of the related Collection Period); and

On the Redesignation Date with respect to any such Redesignated Account, all the related Sold Receivables and Related Security will be deemed sold and assigned to the Depositor without recourse, representation or warranty and removed from the Trust Property for all purposes and in consideration for such conveyance the Depositor Interest will be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of such Purchased Receivables. After such Redesignation Date and upon the request of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee will deliver to the Depositor a Reassignment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositor may, for administrative convenience, remove from the Account Schedule Accounts for which the financing has been terminated and that have an outstanding balance of zero without delivering a Redesignation Notice, Redesignated Account Schedule or a Reassignment. The Depositor (or the Servicer) will reflect such removals on each Account Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

Section 2.9. Sale of Ineligible Receivables. The Depositor may, at its sole option, sell to the Issuer on each Sale Date all or any portion of the Ineligible Receivables originated in any Account; provided, however, that the Depositor will not sell to the Issuer any Ineligible Receivables that are ineligible due to a failure to satisfy the condition specified in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Eligible Receivable”; and provided, further, that (i) on the applicable Sale Date, such Account is an Eligible Account and (ii) the Incremental Subordinated Amount is adjusted in accordance with the Indenture Supplements.

Section 2.10. Exchanges of Certain Receivables. If, at the end of the In-Transit Period for any Receivable described in clause (a) of the definition of “Receivable” (such Receivable, being an “Exchangeable Receivable”), a new Receivable described in clause (d) of the definition of “Receivable” originated in the related Account with respect to the same New Vehicle is sold to the Issuer by the Depositor in accordance with this Agreement, then such Exchangeable Receivable will be deemed to have been paid in full and exchanged for such new Receivable on the date the new Receivable is sold to the Issuer (such date being an “Exchange Date”).

Section 2.11. Treatment of Prepayments and Advances Made Pursuant to Cash Management Agreements. Prepayments made by a Dealer to the Seller under a Cash Management Agreement will be treated as Principal Collections and, in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines, the aggregate principal amount of Receivables in the related Account will decrease by the amount of such prepayment. Conversely, any advances to such Dealer made by the Seller under a Cash Management Agreement will be treated as a supplemental advance to such Dealer and, in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines, the aggregate principal amount of Receivables in the related Account will increase by the amount of such supplemental advance.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

Section 3.1. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to Servicer.

(a) The Servicer will service, manage, administer and make collections on the Receivables, all in accordance with its servicing procedures for servicing dealer floorplan

receivables comparable to the Receivables that the Servicer services for its own account or others and in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines. The Servicer has full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it under this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to do any of the following:

(i) to make deposits into the Collection Account and to instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account and any Series Account as set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and, in connection with the foregoing, perform all calculations (including any allocations of funds and other amounts) required to be performed by the Servicer as provided in this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement;

(ii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence enforcement proceedings with respect to such Receivables;

(iii) to make any filings, reports, notices, applications, registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any state securities authority on behalf of the Issuer as may be necessary or advisable to comply with any federal or state securities laws or reporting requirement; and

(iv) to delegate certain of its servicing, collection, enforcement and administrative duties under this Agreement with respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person; provided, however, that no delegation will relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such delegated duties.

The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its duties under this Agreement.

(b) If the Depositor is unable for any reason to sell Receivables to the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then the Servicer agrees (i) to give prompt notice of such inability to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency and (ii) after the occurrence of such event, to allocate Collections received in respect of each related Account in accordance with Section 2.5(b).

(c) The Servicer will not, and any Successor Servicer will not, be obligated to use servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the Receivables different from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by it in connection with servicing other floorplan receivables.

(d) The Servicer will comply with and perform its servicing obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the related Floorplan Financing Agreements

and the Floorplan Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform would not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, the Servicer may change the terms and provisions of any of the Floorplan Financing Agreements or the Floorplan Financing Guidelines in any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of charge offs and the rate of interest charged on the Receivables), only if:

(i) as a result of such change, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, no Adverse Effect will occur;

(ii) such change is made applicable to all dealer floorplan accounts owned or serviced by the Servicer; and

(iii) in the case of a reduction in the rate of interest charged on the Receivables, the Servicer does not reasonably expect that the reduction will result in the Average Reference Rate for any Collection Period being less than the sum of (A) the weighted average of the Note Interest Rates plus (B) the applicable rate used to calculate the Servicing Fee and the Back-up Servicing Fee, whether or not they are then payable, for the related Interest Period (each such term as defined in the related Indenture Supplement).

For purposes of clause (iii) above, so long as the Reference Rate is based on the prime rate of one or more banks (which bank or banks may change from time to time), decreases in the Reference Rate will not be deemed to be a reduction in the rate of interest charged on the Receivables; provided that a decrease in the margin used to determine the interest charged on the Receivables would be deemed to be a reduction.

(e) On behalf of the Issuer (to the extent of the Issuer’s interest in the following), the Servicer agrees that it holds in trust any document in its possession or control evidencing or securing a Receivable and necessary for its servicing pursuant to this Agreement, including the documents provided to the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.5(h) and all other documents created by the Servicer in connection with its servicing pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, which documents may be in physical or electronic format. The Servicer acknowledges that it holds any documents relating to the Receivables in its possession or control as agent and bailee and custodian for the use and benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer.

Section 3.2. Servicing Compensation.

(a) The Servicer is entitled to receive the Servicing Fee on each Payment Date as compensation for its servicing activities under this Agreement and reimbursement for its expenses as set forth in Section 3.2(b). The Servicing Fee is payable to the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for payment in accordance with the Indenture Supplements.

(b) The Servicer will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under this Agreement, including (i) taxes imposed on the Servicer and (ii) expenses incurred in connection with making distributions and providing reports to the Noteholders and others; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Successor Servicer will be

obligated to pay the fees and disbursements of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator.

Section 3.3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Servicer.

(a) Representations and Warranties. Ford Credit, as Servicer, makes, and any Successor Servicer by its appointment under this Agreement will make, on each Closing Date (and on the date of any such appointment) the following representations and warranties to the Issuer:

(i) Organization and Qualification. The Servicer is duly organized and validly existing as a limited liability company or other legal entity in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Servicer is qualified as a foreign limited liability company or other legal entity 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 such qualification, license or approval, unless the failure to obtain such qualifications, licenses or approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(ii) Power, Authorization and Enforceability. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to own its properties and conduct its floorplan receivable servicing business as such properties are currently owned and as such business is currently conducted. The Servicer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

(iii) No Conflicts and No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party and the fulfillment of the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party will not (A) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument under which the Servicer is a debtor or guarantor, (B) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument (other than the Receivables Purchase Agreements), (C) violate the Organizational Documents of the Servicer, or (D) violate any law or, to the Servicer’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties, in each case, which conflict, breach, default, Lien, or violation would

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(iv) No Proceedings. To the Servicer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened in writing before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, or (D) relating to the Servicer that would reasonably be expected to (1) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income purposes, (2) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (3) 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 such proceedings that, to the Servicer’s knowledge, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Servicer and its subsidiaries considered as a whole or materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, any of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, or materially and adversely affect the tax treatment of the Issuer or the Notes.

(b) Covenants. Ford Credit, as Servicer, covenants, and any Successor Servicer by its appointment under this Agreement, will covenant on the date of such appointment, to the Issuer that:

(i) Compliance with Law. The Servicer will duly satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with the Receivables and the Accounts, will maintain in effect all qualifications required under Applicable Law in order to service properly the Receivables and the Accounts and will comply in all material respects with Applicable Law in connection with servicing the Receivables and the Accounts, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders or the holders of the Depositor Interest.

(ii) No Rescission or Cancellation. The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of a Receivable except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority.

(iii) Protection of Beneficiaries’ Rights. The Servicer will take no action, nor omit to take any action, that would impair the rights of the Noteholders or the holders of the Depositor Interest in the Receivables nor will it reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable except in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines and Section 3.1(d).

(iv) Negative Pledge. Except for the conveyances provided or permitted in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Servicer will not sell, pledge,

assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on, any Receivable sold and assigned to the Issuer under this Agreement or any interest in any such Receivable, and it will defend the rights, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under any such Receivable against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Depositor or the Servicer.

(v) Compliance with Indenture, etc. The Servicer will observe and perform all obligations, duties, covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and expressed in such documents to be observed or performed by the Servicer as if the Servicer were a party to the Indenture or such Indenture Supplement, as applicable, including those in Article VIII of the Indenture.

(c) Purchase upon Breach. The representations, warranties and covenants in Sections 3.3(a) and (b) survive the sale and assignment of the Sold Receivables and Related Security to the Issuer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer of a material breach of any of these representations, warranties or covenants, the party discovering such breach will give prompt notice to the other parties. If any breach by the Servicer of a representation, warranty or covenant in Section 3.3(a) or (b) has a material adverse effect on a Sold Receivable, then the Servicer will purchase such Sold Receivable on or before the first day of the first Collection Period that begins more than 60 days after the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such breach or failure to perform by the Servicer, or receipt by the Servicer of notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor unless, by the first day of such Collection Period the representations and warranties in Section 3.3(a) are then true and correct in all material respects, or the applicable covenant in Section 3.3(b) has been performed, as the case may be, and any material adverse effect on such Sold Receivable caused by the breach or failure to perform has been cured. Notice of the purchase of a Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.3(c) will be contained in the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such purchase occurs.

(d) Consideration for Purchase. In consideration for a purchase of a Sold Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3(c), the Servicer will deposit the Purchase Price of such Sold Receivable into the Collection Account on or before the Determination Date occurring in the Collection Period in which such purchase occurs. Any such amount will be considered Collections and will be applied in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the Servicer’s payment of the Purchase Price for such Sold Receivable, the Issuer will without further action be deemed to sell and assign to the Servicer, with effect as of the date of such purchase and without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Sold Receivable and the Related Security. In connection with any such purchase, the Owner Trustee will, at the Servicer’s expense, execute such documents and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Servicer to effect the conveyance of such Sold Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.3(d). If Ford Credit is the Servicer, the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any such Sold Receivable and to deposit the Purchase Price of such Sold Receivable into the Collection Account, constitutes the sole remedy for a breach or failure to perform specified in Section 3.3(c) available to the Noteholders (or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties).

(e) Successor Servicer Not Required to Purchase. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 3.3(c) and (d), no Successor Servicer will be obligated to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.3.

If the Issuer is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act or otherwise required by law to file an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer as to compliance, such Officer’s Certificate may be delivered on or before April 30 of each calendar year. A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

Such attestation report will be addressed to the board of directors of the Servicer and to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, each Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. Such attestation will be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The firm may render other services to the Servicer, each Depositor or Ford Credit, but the firm must indicate in each attestation report that it is qualified and independent within the meaning of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

(b) The reports referred to in this Section 3.6 will be delivered within 90 days after the end of each calendar year unless the Issuer is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act or any other law, in which case the reports may be delivered on or before April 30 of each calendar year. A copy of the reports referred to in this Section 3.6 may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request in writing to the Indenture Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

Section 3.7. Notices to Ford Credit.

Section 3.8. Adjustments.

(a) If the Servicer reduces the principal amount of any Receivable because of a rebate, refund, credit adjustment or billing error to a Dealer, then the Depositor Amount will be reduced by a corresponding amount and the Depositor will deposit the related Adjustment Payment, if any, into the Excess Funding Account on the Business Day on which such reduction occurs.

(b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection and such Collection is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer deposits into the Collection Account an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of any Collection, the Servicer will appropriately adjust the amount deposited or on deposit in the Collection Account.

Section 3.9. Reports to Securities and Exchange Commission. The Servicer will, on behalf of the Issuer, cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act. The Depositor will, at the expense of the Servicer, cooperate in any reasonable request of the Servicer in connection with such filings.

(b) The Servicer and any subservicer and any officer, director, employee or agent of the Servicer or any subservicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document believed to be genuine and to have been executed by the proper party in respect of any matters arising out of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
SERVICER TERMINATION EVENTS

Section 6.1. Servicer Termination Events.

(a) If any of the following events (each, a “Servicer Termination Event”) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Servicer:

(i) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions to the Indenture Trustee to make such payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date occurring five Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or such instruction is required to be made or given, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement;

(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement that

has an Adverse Effect and continues unremedied for 60 days after the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of not less than 10% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes (or, with respect to any such failure that does not relate to all Series, 10% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes of all Series to which such failure relates);

(iii) the Servicer delegates or assigns its duties under this Agreement, except as permitted by Sections 3.1(a), 5.2 and 6.2;

(iv) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been incorrect when made and such error has an Adverse Effect and such Adverse Effect continues for 60 days after the date on which notice of such Adverse Effect, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of not less than 10% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes (or, with respect to any such representation, warranty or certification that does not relate to all Series, 10% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes of all Series to which such representation, warranty or certification relates); or

(v) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer;

then the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, by notice to the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement.

(b) If within 60 days after delivery of a Termination Notice or a resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.4, (i) the Back-up Servicer has not become the Successor Servicer, (ii) a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and the Indenture Trustee has not received any bids from Eligible Servicers to act as a Successor Servicer in accordance with Section 6.2(a) and (iii) in the case of a Termination Notice, the Indenture Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer stating that the Servicer cannot cure the Servicer Termination Event which gave rise to the Termination Notice, the Depositor may repurchase the Sold Assets on the Payment Date in the next month for an amount equal to the sum of the Reassignment Amounts for each Series. If the Depositor is repurchasing the Sold Assets, it will notify the Indenture Trustee prior to the Record Date for such Payment Date and deposit the Reassignment Amounts into the Collection Account no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Payment Date. The purchase price will be allocated and paid to the Noteholders of each Series on such Payment Date in accordance with the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement in payment of their Notes. Upon the repurchase of the Sold Assets, the Issuer will without further action be deemed to sell and assign to the Depositor, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under the Sold Assets. The Owner Trustee will, at the Depositor ‘s expense, execute such documents and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Depositor to effect the conveyance of the Sold Assets pursuant to this Section 6.1(b).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a), a delay in or failure of performance referred to in Section 6.1(a)(i) for ten Business Days after the applicable grace period or under Sections 6.1(a)(ii) or (iv) for 60 Business Days after the applicable grace period, will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if (i) such delay or failure could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and was caused by an act of God or a public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes outside the reasonable control of the Servicer, (ii) the Servicer is using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with this Agreement and (iii) the Servicer promptly delivers an Officer’s Certificate describing such failure or delay and its efforts to perform its obligations to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Back-up Servicer.

Section 6.2. Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a) If the Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the Servicer will continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the termination of the Servicer will not be effective until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted its appointment. The Indenture Trustee will notify the Back-up Servicer of the date of termination of the Servicer and, upon the termination of the Servicer in accordance with the preceding sentence or a resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.4, the Back-up Servicer will become the successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”) under this Agreement without further action. In connection with its assumption of the duties as Successor Servicer, the Back-up Servicer will be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to the transition of the servicing of the Receivables from the Servicer to the Back-up Servicer (“Transition Costs”). Up to $200,000 of such Transition Costs (in the aggregate for this Agreement and any other Sale and Servicing Agreement) will be paid by the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Servicer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), from amounts in the Back-up Servicer Reserve Account within 30 days of the delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer of a detailed billing statement setting out such Transition Costs. Any Transition Costs in excess of such amount will be paid to the Back-up Servicer pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Indenture Supplements. In no event will the Indenture Trustee be personally responsible for the payment of any Transition Costs. If no Back-up Servicing Agreement is in effect at the time of the giving of a Termination Notice or a resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.4, the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, will as promptly as practicable appoint an Eligible Servicer as Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer will accept its appointment by executing an assumption agreement in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. If a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment by the date of termination or resignation of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action will be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee, as Servicer, may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with Section 3.1(a). At any time following the appointment of the Indenture Trustee as Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint an Eligible Servicer to replace it as Successor Servicer (and not as its agent) and upon the appointment of, and acceptance by, such Eligible Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will be relieved of all its duties as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee will, if it is legally unable so to act, petition

at the expense of the Servicer a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Person that is an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee will give prompt notice to the Issuer (who will notify each Rating Agency) of the appointment of a Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid under this Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any Person to act as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer will be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement and will, subject to Section 3.3(e), be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the Servicer by this Agreement, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer will be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer will have no liability for any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the Successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer.

(c) Following the appointment of a Successor Servicer, the predecessor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer to conduct the servicing duties required under this Agreement, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of the predecessor Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all Collections that are held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit on the date of transfer, or that have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer, into the Collection Account, or that subsequently are received with respect to the Receivables. The predecessor Servicer will promptly transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and will promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer reasonably requests. In no event, however, will the Servicer be obligated to provide, license or assign its processes, procedures, models, servicing software or other applications to any Successor Servicer or any other third party, or provide anything covered by a restriction on transfer or assignment or a confidentiality agreement. To the extent that compliance with this Section 6.2(c) requires the predecessor Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the predecessor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Successor Servicer will enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the predecessor Servicer deems reasonably necessary to protect its interests. If the predecessor Servicer fails to cooperate in effecting a transfer of servicing to a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents that the predecessor Servicer has failed to execute or deliver and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the transfer of the servicing duties under this Agreement.

(d) In connection with its appointment of a Successor Servicer (other than the Back-up Servicer), the Indenture Trustee will review any bids it obtains from Eligible Servicers and may appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting a bid as a Successor Servicer for servicing

compensation not in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fees for all Series plus the sum of the amounts for each Series and for each Payment Date equal to any Interest Collections allocable to the Noteholders of such Series which are payable to the Trust Paying Agent for distribution to the holders of the Depositor Interest in accordance with the Trust Agreement after payment of all amounts owing to the Noteholders of such Series on such Payment Date or required to be deposited into the applicable Series Accounts on such Payment Date; provided, however, that the holders of the Depositor Interest will be responsible for payment of the Depositor’s portion of such aggregate Servicing Fees and all other amounts in excess of such aggregate Servicing Fees. Each holder of the Depositor Interest agrees that, if Ford Credit (or any Successor Servicer) is terminated as Servicer under this Agreement, the portion of the Interest Collections that the Depositor is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement will be reduced by an amount sufficient to pay the Depositor’s share of the compensation of the Successor Servicer.

(e) All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this Agreement will automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Issuer on the Trust Termination Date, and will pass to and be vested in the Depositor and the Depositor is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect such transfer of servicing rights. The Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Depositor in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Successor Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables. The Successor Servicer will transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to Ford Credit or its designee in such electronic form as it may reasonably request and will transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to it in the manner and at such times as it may reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section requires the Successor Servicer to disclose to Ford Credit information of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, Ford Credit will enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer may deem necessary to protect its interests.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting records (including computer records) and other work product of the predecessor Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any obligation to audit or perform any other examination of the Predecessor Servicer Work Product, and the Successor Servicer will have no responsibility or liability for the acts and omissions of the predecessor Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product, and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or cause or materially contribute to the Successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continuing Errors”), the Successor Servicer will have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continuing Errors; provided, however, that the Successor Servicer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further Continuing Errors. If the Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continuing Errors, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile the Predecessor Servicer Work Product and to prevent future Continuing Errors. The Successor Servicer will be entitled to recover its out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such reconciliation pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Indenture Supplements.

Section 6.3. Notice to Noteholders. The Servicer will notify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-up Servicer and each Rating Agency within five Business Days after the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of any Servicer Termination Event, Event of Default or Amortization Event, and the Indenture Trustee will give notice to the Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article VI, the Indenture Trustee will give prompt notice of such termination or appointment to the Noteholders.

ARTICLE VII

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of or delay the timing of any payments (changes in Amortization Events that decrease the likelihood of the occurrence of such events will not be considered delays in the timing of payments for purposes of this clause) to be made to Noteholders or deposits of amounts to be so paid;

(e) If the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Back-up Servicer or any Noteholder to any proposed amendment is required, it is not necessary that they approve the particular form of such amendment, but only that they approve the substance of such amendment.

(f) The Owner Trustee may, but is not obligated to, enter into any amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. In connection with the execution of any amendment under this Agreement, the Owner Trustee is entitled to receive the Opinion of Counsel described in Section 8.2(d)(i).

Section 8.2. Protection of Right, Title and Interest to Trust Property.

(a) The Servicer will cause this Agreement, all amendments to this Agreement and all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Indenture Trustee’s and the Owner Trustee’s right, title, and interest in and to the Trust Property to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee under this Agreement to all property comprising the Trust Property.
