SALE AND PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES
Section 2.1. Sale of Purchased Property; Payment of Purchase Price.
(a) Effective as of the Closing Date and immediately before the transactions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, the Sponsor sells and assigns to the Depositor, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement), all right, title and interest of the Sponsor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Purchased Property.
(b) In consideration for the Purchased Property, the Depositor will pay to the Sponsor $2,025,023,010.69 in cash by federal wire transfer (same day) funds on the Closing Date. The Depositor and the Sponsor each represents and warrants to the other that the amount of cash paid by the Depositor, together with the increase in the value in the Sponsor’s capital in the Depositor, is equal to the fair market value of the Receivables.
(c) The sale of the Purchased Property made under this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Depositor of any obligation of the Sponsor to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Purchased Property.
Section 2.2. Savings Clause. It is the intention of the Sponsor and the Depositor that (i) the sale and assignment pursuant to Section 2.1 constitute an absolute sale of the Purchased
Property, conveying good title to the Purchased Property free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens, from the Sponsor to the Depositor and (ii) the Purchased Property not be a part of the Sponsor’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Sponsor.

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

Section 3.2. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor About the Receivables. The Sponsor represents and warrants to the Depositor as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (except as otherwise specified), which representations and warranties (i) the Depositor has relied on in purchasing the Receivables and (ii) will survive the sale of the Receivables to the Depositor, the subsequent sale of the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a) Origination of Receivables. Each Receivable (i) was originated in the United States (or, with respect to Receivables representing less than 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, under United States law on a United States military base outside the United States) by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business and has been fully executed by the parties thereto, (ii) was purchased by the Sponsor from a Dealer and was validly assigned by such Dealer to the Sponsor (or, with respect to Receivables representing less than 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, originated in the United States by Ford Credit in the ordinary course of Ford Credit’s business for the sale of a Financed Vehicle to a Dealer for dealership use) and (iii) was underwritten pursuant to the Credit and Collection Policy.
(b) Simple Interest. Each Receivable (i) provides for equal monthly payments in U.S. dollars that fully amortize the Amount Financed by its stated maturity and yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate and (ii) applies a simple interest method of allocating a fixed payment to principal and interest, so that the portion of such payment allocated to interest is equal to the APR multiplied by the principal balance multiplied by the number of days elapsed since the preceding payment of interest was made divided by 365.
(c) Prepayment. Each Receivable allows for prepayment and partial prepayments without penalty and requires that the Principal Balance be paid in full to prepay the contract in full.
(d) No Government Obligors. No Receivable is the obligation of the United States of America or any State or local government or from any agency, department, instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States or any State or local government.
(e) Insurance. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to obtain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle.
(f) Valid Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale of such Receivable under this Agreement would be unlawful, void or voidable. The terms of the Receivable do not limit the right of the owner of such Receivable to sell such Receivable. The Sponsor has not entered into any agreement with any Person that prohibits, restricts or conditions the sale of any Receivable by the Sponsor.
(g) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable complied in all material respects at the time it was originated and as of the Closing Date will comply in all material respects with all requirements of federal, State and local laws.
(h) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable is on a form contract that includes rights and remedies allowing the holder to enforce the obligation and realize on the Financed Vehicle and represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor, enforceable in all material respects by the holder of the Receivable, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles and consumer protection laws.
(i) Perfected Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Each Receivable is secured by a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, in favor of the Sponsor as secured party, which was validly created and is a perfected, first priority security interest, or the Sponsor has commenced procedures that will result in the perfection of a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, and said security interest is assignable by the Sponsor to the Depositor.
(j) Good Title. Immediately before the sale under this Agreement, the Sponsor had good title to each Receivable free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens and, immediately upon the sale under this Agreement, the Depositor will have good title to each Receivable, free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens.
(k) Security Interest in the Receivables.
(i) All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Depositor a first priority, validly perfected ownership interest in the Receivables, to give the Issuer a first priority, validly perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables, will be made within ten days after the Closing Date.
(ii) All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Sponsor in favor of the Depositor describing the Receivables sold pursuant to this Agreement 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.”
(iii) The Sponsor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Sponsor that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Depositor under this Agreement, by the Depositor to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, or that has been terminated.
(l) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC and there is only one original authenticated copy of each Receivable.
(m) Servicing. As of the Cutoff Date, each Receivable has been serviced in compliance with all material requirements of federal, State and local laws, and in compliance with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(n) No Bankruptcy. As of the Cutoff Date, the Sponsor has not received actual notice that the Obligor on any Receivable is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(p) No Material Amendments or Modifications. No material provision of a Receivable has been affirmatively amended, except amendments and modifications that are contained in the Receivables Files. As of the Cutoff Date, no Receivable has been amended to extend the due date for any payment other than in connection with a change of the monthly due date in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(v) Other Data. The numerical data relating to the characteristics of the Receivables contained in the Prospectus are true and correct in all material respects.
Section 3.3. Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Representations or Warranties by the Sponsor.
(a) If a Responsible Person of the Sponsor has actual knowledge, or receives notice from the Issuer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.2 that materially and adversely affects any Receivable and such breach has not been cured in all material respects by the last day of the second full Collection Period (or, at the option of the Sponsor, the first full Collection Period) after the Responsible Person obtains actual knowledge or is notified of such breach, the Sponsor will repurchase such Receivable by paying (or causing to be paid) the Purchase Amount on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date after such Collection Period (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on such Payment Date). If Ford Credit is the Servicer, the Sponsor may pay any Purchase Amount in accordance with Section 4.3(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(b) The sole remedy for a breach of the Sponsor’s representations and warranties made in Section 3.2 is to repurchase the Receivable as set forth in Section 3.3(a). The Depositor will enforce the Sponsor’s repurchase obligation pursuant to Section 3.3(a). None of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor or the Administrator will have any duty to conduct an investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3(a).
(c) When the Sponsor’s payment of the Purchase Amount is included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Depositor will be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Sponsor as of the last day of the second preceding Collection Period, without recourse, representation or warranty, except the representation that the Depositor owns the Receivable free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens, all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to any Receivable repurchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.3(a), and all security and documents relating to such Receivable. Upon such sale, the Servicer will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that any receivable purchased pursuant to Section 3.3(a) is no longer a Receivable or take any action necessary or appropriate to evidence the transfer of ownership of the Purchased Receivable, free from any Lien of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.
