SALE AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of ___, 20__ (this "Agreement"), among FORD CREDIT AUTO OWNER TRUST 20__-__, a Delaware statutory trust, as Issuer, FORD CREDIT AUTO RECEIVABLES TWO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Depositor, and FORD MOTOR CREDIT COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Servicer.

BACKGROUND

In the normal course of its business, Ford Credit purchases retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used cars, light trucks and utility vehicles from motor vehicle dealers.

In connection with 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, Ford Credit has sold the pool of Receivables to the Depositor, who will sell it to the Issuer. The Issuer will engage the Servicer to service the Receivables.

The parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
USAGE AND DEFINITIONS

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

ARTICLE II
SALE AND PURCHASE OF SOLD PROPERTY;
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1. Sale of Sold Property. In consideration of the Issuer's delivery to the Depositor of the Notes, the Depositor sells and assigns to the Issuer, without recourse (other than the Depositor's obligations under this Agreement), all of the Depositor's right, title and interest, whether now owned or later acquired, in the Sold Property. This sale and assignment does not, and is not intended to, include any obligation of the Depositor or Ford Credit to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person relating to the Receivables and the other Sold Property, and the Issuer does not assume any of these obligations.

Section 2.2. Acknowledgement of Further Assignments. The Depositor acknowledges that, under the Indenture, the Issuer will assign and pledge the Sold Property and related property and rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.3. Savings Clause. The Depositor and the Issuer intend that the sale and assignment under this Agreement be an absolute sale and assignment of the Sold Property, conveying good title to the Sold Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, from the Depositor to the Issuer. The Depositor and the Issuer intend that the Sold Property not be a part of the Depositor's estate if there is a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor. If, despite the intent of the Depositor and the Issuer, the transfer of the Sold Property under this

Agreement is determined to be a pledge for a financing or is determined not to be an absolute sale and assignment, the Depositor Grants to the Issuer on the date of this Agreement a security interest in the Depositor's right, title and interest in the Sold Property, whether now owned or later acquired, to secure a loan in an amount equal to all amounts payable by the Depositor under this Agreement, all amounts payable as principal of or interest on the Notes, all amounts payable as Servicing Fees under this Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. In that case, this Agreement is a security agreement under law and the Issuer will have the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC.

Section 2.4. Depositor's Representations and Warranties About Sold Property.

(a) Representations and Warranties from Receivables Purchase Agreement. Ford Credit made representations and warranties about the Receivables in Section 3.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and has consented to the sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Depositor's rights to these representations and warranties. Under Section 2.1, the Depositor has sold and assigned to the Issuer the Depositor's rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right to require Ford Credit to repurchase any Receivables if there is a breach of Ford Credit's representations and warranties. In addition, the Depositor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that the representations and warranties about the Receivables in Section 3.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement are true and correct. The Issuer is relying on Ford Credit's representations and warranties in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and on the Depositor's representations and warranties in this Section 2.4(a) in purchasing the Receivables, which representations and warranties will survive the sale and assignment of the Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer under this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

(b) Representations and Warranties About Pool of Receivables. The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties about the pool of Receivables on which the Issuer is relying in purchasing the Sold Property. The representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date and will survive the sale and assignment of the Sold Property by the Depositor to the Issuer under this Agreement and the pledge of the Sold Property by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

(i) Valid Sale. This Agreement evidences a valid sale and assignment of the Sold Property from the Depositor to the Issuer, enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(ii) Good Title to Sold Property. Immediately before the sale and assignment under this Agreement, the Depositor has good and marketable title to the Sold Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and, immediately after the sale and assignment under this Agreement, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to the Sold Property, free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

(iii) Security Interest in Sold Property.

(A) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Sold Property in favor of the

2

Issuer, which is prior to any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(B) All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Depositor a first priority, validly perfected ownership and security interest in the Purchased Property, to give the Issuer a first priority, validly perfected ownership and security interest in the Sold Property and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, will be made within ten days after the Closing Date.

(C) All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Issuer describing the Sold Property sold under this Agreement will contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party/Assignee."

(D) The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering any Sold Property other than the financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, by the Depositor to the Issuer under this Agreement or by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, or that has been terminated.

(c) Representations and Warranties About Security Interest. If the transfer of the Sold Property under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge relating to a financing or is determined not to be an absolute sale and assignment, the Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is relying in purchasing the Sold Property, which representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date, will survive termination of this Agreement and may not be waived by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee:

(i) Valid Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Sold Property in favor of the Issuer, which is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

(ii) Perfection. The Sponsor has started procedures that will result in the perfection of a first priority security interest against the applicable Obligor in the Financed Vehicles.

(iii) Type. The Sold Property is "chattel paper," "instruments" or "general intangibles" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iv) Good Title. Immediately before the sale and assignment under this Agreement, the Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Sold Property

3

free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Sold Property to Grant to the Issuer its right, title and interest in the Sold Property, except to the extent the requirement for consent or approval is made ineffective under the applicable UCC.

(v) Filing Financing Statements. The Depositor has caused, or will cause within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law to perfect the security interest Granted in the Sold Property to the Issuer under this Agreement. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Issuer under this Agreement describing the Sold Property will contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or grant of a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Parties."

(vi) No Other Sale, Grant or Financing Statement. Other than the security interest Granted to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Depositor has not sold or Granted a security interest in any of the Sold Property. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering any of the Sold Property, other than financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Issuer. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax Lien filings against it.

(vii) Possession of Receivables. For Receivables that are "tangible chattel paper," the Depositor has in its possession, directly or through their agents, all original copies of the Receivable that constitute or evidence part of the Sold Property, and these Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer. For Receivables that are "electronic chattel paper," the Depositor has "control" of the sole "authoritative copy" (each within the meaning of the applicable UCC) of each such Receivable and has not communicated an authoritative copy of any such Receivable that constitutes or evidences part of the Sold Property to any Person other than the Issuer.

Section 2.5. Depositor's Repurchase of Receivables for Breach of Representations.

(a) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Person of the Depositor (i) has knowledge of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 2.4(a), (ii) receives notice from the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 2.4(a), (iii) receives a Repurchase Request from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee for a Receivable or (iv) receives a Review Report that indicates a Test Fail for a Receivable, then, in each case, the Depositor will investigate to confirm the breach and determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on a Receivable. None of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator will have an obligation to investigate whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred or whether any Receivable is required to be repurchased under this Section 2.5.

4

(b) Repurchase of Receivables; Payment of Purchase Amount. For a breach described in Section 2.5(a), the Depositor may, and if the breach has a material adverse effect on a Receivable will, repurchase the Receivable by paying the Purchase Amount for the Receivable on the Business Day before the Payment Date (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on the Payment Date) related to the Collection Period in which the Depositor has knowledge or receives notice of and confirms the breach or, at the Depositor's option, on or before the following Payment Date, unless the breach is cured in all material respects before that Payment Date. If Ford Credit is the Servicer, the Depositor may cause the Purchase Amount to be paid according to Section 4.3(c).

(c) Sale and Assignment of Repurchased Receivable. When the Purchase Amount is included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Depositor, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in the Receivable repurchased by the Depositor under this Section 2.5 and all security and documents relating to the Receivable. The sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns the Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. After the sale, the Servicer will mark its receivables systems to indicate that the receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to evidence the sale of the receivable, free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Repurchase Sole Remedy. The sole remedy for a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Depositor in Section 2.4(a) is (i) to require the Depositor to repurchase the Receivable under this Section 2.5 or (ii) to require the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to enforce the obligation of Ford Credit to repurchase the Receivable under Section 3.4 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.6. Dispute Resolution.

(a) Referral to Dispute Resolution. If the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or a Noteholder (the "Requesting Party") requests that the Depositor and/or the Sponsor repurchase a Receivable due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty in Section 2.4(a) or in Section 3.4 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each, a "Repurchase Request"), and the Repurchase Request has not been resolved within 180 days after the Depositor or the Sponsor receives the Repurchase Request, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration. However, if the Receivable subject to a Repurchase Request was part of a Review and the Review Report showed no Test Fails for the Receivable, the Repurchase Request for the Receivable will be deemed to be resolved. The Requesting Party must start the mediation or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR Organization within 90 days after the end of the 180-day period. The Depositor and the Sponsor agree to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.

5

(b) Mediation. If the Requesting Party selects mediation for dispute resolution:

(i) The mediation will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for mediation stated in this Section 2.6, the procedures in this Section 2.6 will control.

(ii) A single mediator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The mediator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least [15] years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters.

(iii) The mediation will start within [15] days after the selection of the mediator and conclude within [30] days after the start of the mediation.

(iv) Expenses of the mediation will be allocated to the parties as mutually agreed by them as part of the mediation.

(c) Arbitration. If the Requesting Party selects arbitration for dispute resolution:

(i) The arbitration will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for arbitration stated in this Section 2.6, the procedures in this Section 2.6 will control.

(ii) A single arbitrator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least [15] years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters. The arbitrator will be independent and impartial and will comply with the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the arbitration. Before accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the proceedings within the stated time schedule. The arbitrator may be removed by the ADR Organization for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

(iii) The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any motions, according to New York law, and will do so at the motion of any party. Discovery will be completed within [30] days of selection of the arbitrator and will be limited for each party to [two] witness depositions not to exceed five hours, [two] interrogatories, [one] document request and [one] request for admissions. However, the arbitrator may grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and necessary. Briefs will be limited to no more than [ten] pages each, and will be limited to initial statements of the case, motions and a pre-hearing brief. The evidentiary hearing on the merits will start no later than [60] days after selection of

6

the arbitrator and will proceed for no more than [six] consecutive Business Days with equal time allocated to each party for the presentation of evidence and cross examination. The arbitrator may allow additional time for discovery and hearings on a showing of good cause or due to unavoidable delays.

(iv) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than [90] days after its selection. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute according to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and may not modify or change this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the expenses of the arbitration (including filing fees, the fees of the arbitrator, expense of any record or transcript of the arbitration and administrative fees) to the parties in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The determination will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or State law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(v) By selecting arbitration, the Requesting Party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(vi) The Requesting Party may not bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration. If this waiver of class action rights is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the Requesting Party agrees that it will bring its claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Additional Conditions. For each mediation or arbitration:

The existence and details of any unresolved Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief sought or granted, any offers or statements made and any discovery taken in the proceeding will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose in any other mediation, arbitration, litigation or other proceeding. The parties will keep this information confidential and will not disclose or discuss it with any third party (other than a party's attorneys, experts, accountants and other advisors, as reasonably required in connection with the mediation or arbitration proceeding under this Section 2.6), except as required

7

by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If a party to a mediation or arbitration proceeding receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for confidential information of the other party to the mediation or arbitration proceeding, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

ARTICLE III

The Servicer's obligations will include:

(i) collecting and applying all payments made on the Receivables and any other amounts received related to the Purchased Property;

(xi) preparing and providing Monthly Investor Reports and any other periodic reports required to be prepared by the Servicer under this Agreement.

8

(b) Collection of Payments; Extensions and Amendments. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts to collect all payments due under the Receivables. The Servicer may waive late payment charges or other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer may grant extensions, refunds, rebates or adjustments on any Receivable or amend any Receivable according to the Servicing Procedures[; provided, however, that any such action by the Servicer is a Permitted Modification]. However, if the Servicer [grants a Permitted Modification that] (i) grants an extension on a Receivable resulting in the final payment date of the Receivable being later than the Final Scheduled Payment Date of the most junior Class of Notes issued by the Issuer, (ii) modifies the Amount Financed under a Receivable, (iii) modifies the APR of a Receivable or (iv) increases the number of originally scheduled due dates of the Receivable, it will purchase the Receivable under Section 3.3, unless it is required to take the action by law or court order.

(c) Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer will maintain perfection of the security interest created under each Receivable in the Financed Vehicle. The Issuer authorizes the Servicer to take all actions to continue perfection of the security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee if a Financed Vehicle is relocated to another State or for any other reason. Unless required by law or court order, the Servicer will not release a Financed Vehicle from the security interest created under the Receivable, except (i) on payment in full of the Receivable, (ii) to receive proceeds from insurance covering the Financed Vehicle, (iii) on repossession, (iv) on discounted settlement of the Receivable or (v) on abandonment, in each case, according to the Servicing Procedures.

(d) No Impairment. The Servicer will not impair in any material respect the rights of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in any Receivable except according to the Servicing Procedures or as permitted by this Agreement.

(e) Assignment for Enforcement. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, the Receivables are assigned to the Servicer solely for the purpose of permitting the Servicer to perform its servicing and administrative obligations under this Agreement, including the start or pursuit of or participation in a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable or otherwise related to a Receivable. If in a legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the basis that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer will, at the Servicer's expense and direction, assign the Receivable to the Servicer solely for that purpose or take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the names of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Issuer.

(f) Powers of Attorney. The Issuer appoints the Servicer as the Issuer's attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to exercise all rights of the Issuer for the servicing and administration of the Receivables. This power of attorney, and all authority given, under this Section 3.2(f) is revocable and is given solely to facilitate the performance of the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement and may only be used by the Servicer consistent with this Agreement. On request of the Servicer, the Issuer will furnish the Servicer with written powers of attorney and other documents to enable the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

The Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, any documents of satisfaction, cancellation, partial or full release or discharge, and other comparable documents, for the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles.

Section 3.3. Servicer's Purchase of Receivables.

(a) Purchase for Servicer Modifications. If an extension or modification of a Receivable is made that requires it to be purchased under Section 3.2(b), the Servicer will purchase the Receivable.

(b) Purchase for Breach of Servicer's Obligations. If a Responsible Person of the Servicer has knowledge, or receives notice from the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of the Servicer's obligations in Section 3.2(c) or (d) that has a material adverse effect on a Receivable or the rights of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in any Receivable, the Servicer will purchase the Receivable.

(c) Purchase for System Limitation or Inability to Service. If the Servicer, in its sole discretion, determines that as a result of a receivables systems error or receivables systems limitation or for any other reason the Servicer is unable to service a Receivable according to the Servicing Procedures and the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may purchase the Receivable.

(d) [Purchase for Disaster Extension Offers. If the Servicer offers an extension to an Obligor located in a major disaster area as declared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer will repurchase the Receivable if the Obligor accepts the offered extension.]

(e) Purchase of Receivables; Payment of Purchase Amount. For any purchase of a Receivable by the Servicer under this Section 3.3, the Servicer will purchase the Receivable by paying the Purchase Amount on the Business Day before the Payment Date (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on the Payment Date) related to the Collection Period in which the Servicer made the extension or modification on the Receivable, had knowledge or received notice of the breach or determined the need for purchase or, at the Sponsor's option, on or before the following Payment Date, unless the breach is cured in all material respects before that Payment Date.

The sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer owns the Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. After the sale, the Servicer will mark its receivables systems to

10

indicate that the receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer the Receivable free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(g) No Obligation to Investigate.

(ii) the credit application signed by the Obligor;

13

(iii) the original certificate of title or other documents evidencing the security interest of Ford Credit in the Financed Vehicle; and

(iv) all other documents, notices and correspondence relating to the Receivable, the Obligor or the Financed Vehicle that the Servicer generates in the course of servicing the Receivable.

Except as stated above, any document in a Receivable File may be a photocopy or in electronic format or may be converted to electronic format at any time. The Custodian will hold and maintain the Receivable Files, including any receivables systems on which the Receivable Files are electronically stored, in a manner that will permit the Servicer and the Issuer to comply with this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee to comply with the Indenture.

(c) Delivery of Receivable Files. The Receivable Files are constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer under the Indenture, and the Custodian confirms to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it has received the Receivable Files. No initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is required.

(d) Location of Receivable Files. The Custodian will maintain the Receivable Files (or access to any Receivable Files stored in an electronic format) at one of its offices or the offices of one of its custodians in the United States.

title or the other documents evidencing the security interest of the Issuer in the Financed Vehicles (the "Security Documents"). In addition, if the assignment of a Receivable from Ford Credit to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and from the Depositor to the Issuer under this Agreement is insufficient, without a notation on the Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, to give the Issuer a first priority perfect security interest in the Financed Vehicle, the Custodian, in its capacity as nominee lienholder/secured party, agrees that it is acting as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer in the Financed Vehicle and agrees that Ford Credit's listing as the lienholder/secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer. The Custodian agrees to serve as nominee lienholder/secured party and agent for the Financed Vehicles and will, as nominee lienholder/secured party and agent: (i) act exclusively for the benefit and on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement and (ii) take any and all actions necessary or advisable to establish, maintain and protect the Issuer's security interest in the Financed Vehicles. The Custodian further acknowledges the right of the Issuer to treat the Security Documents as if the name of the Issuer appears on the documents as lienholder/secured party in place of Ford Credit's name.

The Servicer may direct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to the Servicer or as directed by the Servicer amounts that are not Available Funds for a Collection Period or that were deposited in the Collection Account in error. After the Notes are paid in full and the Bank Accounts are released from the Lien of the Indenture, the Collection Account will be under the control of the Servicer and the Reserve Account will be under the control of the Depositor.

If no prior investment instructions have been received or if the instructed investments are no longer available or permitted, the Indenture Trustee will notify the Servicer and request new investment instructions, and the funds will remain uninvested until new investment instructions are received. The Servicer may direct the Indenture Trustee to consent, vote, waive or take any other action, or not to take any action, on any matters available to the holder of the Permitted Investments.

(c) No Liability for Investments. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Qualified Institution maintaining any Bank Account will be liable for the selection

16

of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred on Permitted Investments (other than in the capacity as obligor, if applicable).

The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of funds or to sell any investment held in the Bank Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in the account in favor of the Indenture Trustee will continue to be perfected in the investment or the proceeds of the sale without further action by any Person.

If, for any Payment Date, the amounts deposited under Section 4.3(b) for the Collection Period exceed the sum of (i) Collections for the Collection Period, plus (ii) Purchase Amounts for the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will pay to Ford Credit an amount equal to the excess within two Business Days of Ford Credit's direction, but no later than the Payment

Section 6.3. Indemnities of Servicer.

(a) Indemnification. The Servicer will indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and their officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") for all fees, expenses, losses, damages and liabilities resulting from the Servicer's (including in its capacity as Custodian) willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents (including the fees and expenses of defending themselves against any loss, damage or liability and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with any proceedings brought by the Indemnified Person to enforce the Servicer's indemnification obligations).

The Servicer may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a proceeding at its expense. If the Servicer notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of the proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Servicer assumes the defense of the proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, the Servicer will not be liable for fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Servicer and the Indemnified Person. If there is a conflict, the Servicer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person.

(d) Transfer of Authority.

(e) Authority of Issuer and Indenture Trustee.

(c) Expenses of Servicing Transition.

Section 7.6. Merger, Consolidation, Succession and Assignment. Any Person (a) into which the Servicer is merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from a merger or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, (c) succeeding to the Servicer's business or (d) that is an Affiliate of the Servicer to whom the Servicer has assigned this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Within 15 Business Days after the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment, such Person will (i) execute an agreement to assume the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party (unless the assumption happens by operation of law), (ii) deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment and the assumption agreement comply with this Section 7.6, (iii) deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the security interest in favor of the Issuer in the Sold Property and the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral is or will be perfected and (iv) notify the Rating Agencies of the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment.
