The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, agrees that it will look
solely to the property of the Issuer allocated to the payment of the Notes for payment under this

Balance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note on any date of determination will be an amount equal to

principal payments made to the Noteholders of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note on or before such
date.

the Note Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and
principal on the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement. Except as

presentation or surrender of any Note or the making of any notation on such note. Final payment of
this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class
[A-[__]/B/C/D] Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment delivered by
the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with the Series Agreement.
This Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, Ford

Credit Company LLC, Ford Motor Company or any Affiliate of any of them and is not insured or
guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.
Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, covenants and agrees that it will not at any time

authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Note Registrar. No service charge may be imposed for any
such exchange but the Issuer or Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such exchange.
The Issuer, the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors
or the Indenture Trustee will treat the person in whose name this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note is
registered as the owner of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note for all purposes, and none of the Issuer,
the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors or the Indenture
Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.
The holder of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D]
Note, and the owner of a beneficial interest in this Class
[A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of
such beneficial interest, covenant and agree that (a) they will not at any time institute against
the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in instituting against the Issuer or the Depositors, any

any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or any of the other
related transaction documents and (b) if any Depositor becomes a debtor or debtor in possession in
a case under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise subject to any insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
rehabilitation or other similar proceedings, any claim that the holders of the Notes of any Series
may have at any time against the Issuer’s assets allocated in accordance with the Indenture to any
Series unrelated to such Notes, and any claim that the holders of such Notes have at any time
against the Depositors that they may seek to enforce against such Issuer’s assets allocated to any
unrelated Series, will be subordinate to the payment in full (including post-petition interest) of
the claims of the holders of any Notes of such unrelated Series and of the holders of any other
notes, bonds, contracts or other obligations relating to such unrelated Series.
The holder of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note, by acceptance of this Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Note,
and each holder of a beneficial interest therein, agree to treat the Class [A-[__]/B/C/D] Notes as
