ARTICLE II
THE NOTES

Section 2.1. Form.

(a) Each Class of Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificates of authentication, will be in substantially the form in Exhibit A with any variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Notes may have any marks of identification and any legends or endorsements placed on them selected, consistent with this Indenture, by the Responsible Person of the Issuer executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. The physical Notes will be produced by any method as determined by the Responsible Person of the Issuer executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

(b) Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes in Exhibit A and Exhibit B are part of this Indenture and are incorporated into this Indenture by reference.

Section 2.2. Execution, Authentication and Delivery.

(a) A Responsible Person of the Issuer will execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer. The signature of the Responsible Person on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was a Responsible Person of the Issuer will bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that the individual has ceased to be a Responsible Person before the authentication and delivery of the Notes or was not a Responsible Person at the date of issuance of the Notes.

(b) The Indenture Trustee will, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in the Classes, Note Interest Rates and initial Note Balances below.

Class	Note Interest Rate		Initial Note Balance
Class A-1 Notes	0.23000	%	$	381,500,000
Class A-2 Notes	0.61	%	$	508,000,000
Class A-3 Notes	1.06	%	$	504,400,000
Class A-4 Notes	1.56	%	$	105,510,000
Class B Notes	1.97	%	$	47,350,000
Class C Notes	2.16	%	$	31,570,000
Class D Notes	2.75	%	$	31,570,000

(c) The Notes will initially be issued as Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, except for the Class A-1 Notes, will be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in multiples of $1,000. The Class A-1 Notes will be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and in multiples of $1,000 in excess of $100,000. However, one Note of each Class may fail to be in the applicable minimum denomination due to the difference between the minimum denomination requirement and the initial Note Balance of the Class of Notes.

(d) No Note will be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid for any purpose, unless it bears a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in this Indenture executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and the certificate upon any Note will be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

Section 2.3. Tax Treatment. The Issuer intends that Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than Ford Credit or its Affiliates will be indebtedness of the Issuer, secured by the Collateral, for U.S. federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

Section 2.4. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee to be the “Note Registrar” and to keep a register (the “Note Register”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as provided in this Indenture. Upon any resignation of the Note Registrar, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. If the Issuer appoints a Person other than the Indenture Trustee as Note Registrar, (i) the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee of the appointment, (ii) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies of the Note Register and (iii) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to rely upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Note Registrar as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of the Notes.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained under Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and the Noteholder will obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class, in any authorized denomination, in the same aggregate principal amount.

(c) A Noteholder may exchange Notes for other Notes of the same Class, in any authorized denominations, in the same aggregate principal amount, by surrendering the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained under Section 3.2. If the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and the Noteholder will obtain from the Indenture Trustee the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(d) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon the registration of transfer or exchange.

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory

to the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder of the Note or the Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with the signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or another “signature guarantee program” selected by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, all in accordance with the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied by any other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

(f) None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will impose a service charge on a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes. The Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee may require a Noteholder to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes.

(g) Neither the Issuer nor the Note Registrar will be required to register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or Notes whose next Payment Date is not more than 15 days after the requested date of the transfer or exchange.

(h) The Class A-1 Notes and the Class D Notes (the “Rule 144A Notes”) have not been registered under the Securities Act or any State securities law. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register the Rule 144A Notes under the Securities Act or any State securities or “blue sky” laws or to take any other action not otherwise required under this Indenture or the Trust Agreement to permit the transfer of any Rule 144A Note without registration. The Issuer, at the direction of the Depositor or the Administrator, may elect to register, or cause the registration of, the Rule 144A Notes under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities law, in which case the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Indenture Trustee and the Registrar any Opinions of Counsel, Officer’s Certificates and other information as determined by the Depositor as necessary to effect the registration.

(i) Until the Rule 144A Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities law under Section 2.4(h), no Rule 144A Note may be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged or otherwise disposed of (each, a “ Rule 144A Note Transfer”) to any Person except in accordance with this Section 2.4, and any purported Rule 144A Note Transfer in violation of this Section 2.4 will be null and void (a “Void Rule 144A Note Transfer”).

(j) Each Rule 144A Note will bear the legend in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, unless determined otherwise by the Administrator (as certified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate) consistent with applicable law.

As a condition to the registration of any Rule 144A Note Transfer, the prospective transferee of the Rule 144A Note will be deemed to represent to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Issuer that:

(i) It understands that the Rule 144A Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any State or other applicable securities or “blue sky” law.

(ii) It understands that Rule 144A Note Transfers are only permitted if made in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and only to a person that the holder reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”).

(iii) It (A) is a QIB, (B) is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and if it is acquiring the Rule 144A Notes or any interest or participation in the Rule 144A Notes for the account of another QIB, the other QIB is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (C) is acquiring the Rule 144A Notes or any interest or participation in the Rule 144A Notes for its own account or for the account of another QIB.

(iv) It is purchasing the Rule 144A Notes for its own account or for one or more investor accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent, in each case for investment, and not with a view to offer, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Rule 144A Notes in connection with any distribution of the Rule 144A Notes that would violate the Securities Act.

(k) By acceptance of any Rule 144A Note, the Rule 144A Noteholder specifically agrees, and represents to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Note Registrar, that no Rule 144A Note Transfer will be made unless (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable State securities laws have been complied with for the Rule 144A Note in accordance with Section 2.4(h), (ii) the Rule 144A Note Transfer is to the Depositor or its Affiliates or (iii) the Rule 144A Note Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act because the Rule 144A Note Transfer complies with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a transferee who the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the Rule 144A Note Transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A.

(l) The Administrator will make available to the prospective transferor and transferee of a Rule 144A Note information requested to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Information”). The Rule 144A Information will include any or all of the following items requested by the prospective transferee:

(i) the offering memorandum relating to the Rule 144A Notes and any amendments or supplements to the offering memorandum;

(ii) the Monthly Investor Report for each Payment Date prior to the request;

(iii) copies of the Transaction Documents, including any amendments; and

(iv) any other information as is reasonably available to the Administrator in order to comply with requests for information under Rule 144A.

(m) Each Note Owner that is subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, by accepting an interest or participation in a Note, is deemed to represent that its purchase, holding and disposition of the interest or participation in the Notes does not constitute and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code due to the applicability of a statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules (or, if the Note Owner is subject to any Similar Law, the purchase, holding and disposition does not constitute and will not result in a violation of the Similar Law).

Section 2.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of a Note, then the Issuer will execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of the same Class and principal amount in exchange for or in lieu of the Note so long as (i) the Indenture Trustee receives the security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, (ii) none of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee have received notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met. However, if any destroyed, lost or stolen Note (but not a mutilated Note) is due and payable within 15 days or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay the destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender of the Note. If a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which the replacement Note was issued (or payment made) presents for payment the original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to recover the replacement Note (or payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking the replacement Note (or payment) from the Person to whom the replacement Note (or payment) was delivered or any assignee of that Person, except a protected purchaser, and will be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided for the replacement Note (or payment) for any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for the replacement Note (or payment).

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under Section 2.5(a), the Issuer may require the Noteholder of the Note to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed and any other reasonable expenses incurred for the replacement Note.

(c) Each replacement Note issued under Section 2.5(a) will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be enforceable by anyone and, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of the same Class duly issued under this Indenture.

(d) This Section 2.5 is exclusive and precludes (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies for the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.6. Persons Deemed Owners. On any date, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of the Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and any interest on the Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) Each Class of Notes will accrue interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate. Interest on each Note will be due and payable on each Payment Date as stated in the Note. Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. Interest on the Notes (other than the Class A-1 Notes) will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b) Interest and principal payments on each Class of Notes will be made ratably to the Noteholders of that Class. On each Payment Date, distributions to be made for interest on and principal of the Book-Entry Notes will be paid to the Registered Noteholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, the nominee will be Cede & Co.). Distributions to be made for interest on and principal of the Definitive Notes will be paid to the Registered Noteholder (i) if the Noteholder has provided to the Note Registrar appropriate instructions at least five Business Days before the Payment Date and the aggregate original principal amount of the Noteholder’s Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Registered Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register on the Record Date. However, the final installment of principal (whether payable by wire transfer or check) of each Note on a Payment Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Note. The Indenture Trustee will notify each Registered Noteholder of the date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on the Registered Noteholder’s Notes will be paid not later than five days before that date. The notice will specify the place where the Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment of the installment. All funds paid by wire transfers or checks that are returned undelivered will be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

(c) The principal of each Note will be payable in installments on each Payment Date as stated in the Note. The entire unpaid Note Balance of each Class of Notes will be due and payable on the earlier of its Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date. However, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes will be due and payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2(a).

Section 2.8. Cancellation. Any Person that receives a Note surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption will deliver the Note to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes it receives that have been surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption. The Issuer may deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered under this Indenture which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner, and the Indenture Trustee will

promptly cancel the Notes. No Notes will be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.8. The Indenture Trustee may hold or dispose of all cancelled Notes in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy unless the Issuer directs, by Issuer Order, that they be destroyed or returned to it (if the Notes have not been disposed of previously by the Indenture Trustee).

Section 2.9. Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee will release property from the Lien of this Indenture only in accordance with Sections 8.4 and 10.1.

Section 2.10. Book-Entry Notes. The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes will be issued as Book-Entry Notes on the Closing Date. The Book-Entry Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes will be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing the Note Owner’s interest in the Note, except under Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners under Section 2.11:

(a) for Book-Entry Notes, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes and the giving of notices, instructions or directions under this Indenture) as the sole Noteholder of the Book-Entry Notes, and will have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(b) the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among its participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes to the participants;

(d) the rights of Note Owners may be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or its participants under the DTC Letter; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken upon instructions or directions of Noteholders of a stated percentage of the Note Balance of the Notes (or the Controlling Class), the Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent those Noteholders only to the extent that it has received instructions to that effect from Note Owners and/or the Clearing Agency’s participants owning or representing, respectively, the required percentage of the beneficial interest of the Notes (or the Controlling Class) and has delivered the instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.11. Definitive Notes. For any Class or Classes of Book-Entry Notes, if (a) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depository for the Book-Entry Notes and the

Administrator is unable to reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a qualified successor, (b) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, so long as any Book-Entry Notes are Outstanding, Note Owners of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class notify the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency that they elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, then the Clearing Agency will notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of the election and of the availability of Definitive Notes to the Note Owners. After the Clearing Agency has surrendered the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and delivered the registration instructions to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee, upon Issuer Request, will authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will be liable for any delay in delivery of the instructions and may conclusively rely, and will be protected in relying, on the instructions.

ARTICLE III
COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS

Section 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture. Amounts withheld under the Code or any State, local or foreign tax law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder will be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to the Noteholder.

Section 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for these purposes. The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any change in the location of the office or agency. If the Issuer fails to maintain the office or agency or fails to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address of the office or agency, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 3.3. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

(a) All payments of amounts for any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Bank Accounts will be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Note Paying Agent, and no amounts withdrawn for payments on the Notes may be paid over to or at the direction of the Issuer, except as provided in this Section 3.3.

(b) The Indenture Trustee (including, if applicable, in its capacity as Note Paying Agent) will, and will cause each Note Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee itself) to, execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, an instrument in which the Note Paying Agent agrees with the Indenture Trustee to:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts for the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to the sums until the sums are paid to those Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture and pay the sums to those Persons as provided in this Indenture;

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made for the Notes;

(iii) during the continuance of any default, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, immediately pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Note Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Note Paying Agent and immediately pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if it ceases to meet the eligibility standards under Section 6.11 for the Indenture Trustee; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code and any State or local or foreign tax law for withholding and reporting requirements for payments on the Notes.

(c) The Issuer may by Issuer Order, direct any Note Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Note Paying Agent, the sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which the sums were held by the Note Paying Agent. Upon a Note Paying Agent’s payment of all sums held in trust to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent will be released from all further liability for that money.

(d) Subject to laws for escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due for any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after the amount has become due and payable will be discharged from the trust and paid to the Issuer upon Issuer Request. After discharge and payment, the Noteholder will, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of the amount due and unclaimed (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent for that trust money will cease. However, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent, before making any repayment, will publish once, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day in the English language and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date stated in the notice, which must be at least 30 days from the date of the publication, any unclaimed balance of the money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee will also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Administrator and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of repayment (including notifying Noteholders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable

but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Note Paying Agent of the repayment, at the last address of record for each Noteholder).

Section 3.4. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer under this Indenture is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of the other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification in each jurisdiction in which the qualification is or will be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Collateral.

(B) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(D) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Secured Parties in the Collateral against the claims of all Persons.

(b) The Issuer authorizes the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee to file any financing or continuation statements, and amendments to the statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as are necessary or advisable to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral. The financing and continuation statements may describe the Collateral in any manner as the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine to ensure the perfection of the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral (including describing the Collateral as “all assets” of the Issuer). The Administrator or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, will deliver to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any financing statement and continuation statement promptly upon the document becoming available following filing.

(c) The Indenture Trustee is under no obligation (i) to make any determination of whether any financing or continuation statements, and amendments to those statements, are required to be filed under this Section 3.5 or (ii) to file any financing or continuation statements, or amendment to those statements, and will not be liable for failure to do so.

Section 3.6. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

(a) No Release of Material Covenants or Obligations. The Issuer will not take any action, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any action from being taken by others, that would release any Person from any material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, that instrument or agreement, except as provided in any Transaction Document.

(b) Contracting. The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of the duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer will be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c) Performance of Obligations. The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements in the Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral.

(d) Servicer Termination Event. If the Issuer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence and specify in the notice any action the Issuer is taking in respect of the event. If a Servicer Termination Event arises from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties and obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the Receivables, the Issuer will take all reasonable steps available to cause the Servicer to remedy the failure.

Section 3.7. Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer will not:

(a) except as permitted by any Transaction Document, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Collateral unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

(b) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts withheld from the payments under the Code or any State, local or foreign tax law) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or the Collateral;

(d) permit (i) the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the Lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except in each case as permitted by this Indenture, (ii) any Lien other than Permitted Liens to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Collateral or (iii) the Lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in the Collateral (except for Permitted Liens); or

(e) except as otherwise provided in any Transaction Document, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender the terms of any Collateral or any of the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes and upon notice by the Issuer to the Rating Agencies.

The Issuer’s obligation to deliver an Officer’s Certificate under this Section 3.9 will terminate upon the payment in full of the Notes, including by redemption in whole under Section 10.1.

Section 3.10. Consolidation and Merger; Sale of Assets. The Issuer will not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer all or substantially all of the assets included in the Collateral to any Person, unless:

(f) any action that is necessary to maintain the Lien and security interest created by this Indenture has been taken; and

(b) The Sponsor has represented that it has commenced procedures that will result in the perfection of a first priority security interest against each Obligor in the Financed Vehicles.

(c) All of the Permitted Investments have been and will be credited to a Securities Account. The securities intermediary for each Securities Account has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Securities Accounts as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Collateral (other than those Permitted Investments which have been credited to a Securities Account) constitutes “chattel paper,” “instruments” or “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(d) The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. The Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Collateral to Grant to the Indenture Trustee all of its interest and rights in the Collateral, except to the extent that any requirement for consent or approval is rendered ineffective under the applicable UCC.

(g) Other than the security interest Granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any portion of the Collateral. The Issuer 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 portion of the Collateral, other than any financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

(h) The Securities Accounts are not in the name of any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the securities intermediary of any Securities Account complying with entitlement orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

(i) All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer, or any assignor of which the Issuer is the assignee, in favor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture describing the Collateral 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 3.16, (i) will survive the termination of this Indenture and (ii) may not be waived by the Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.17. Audits of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees that, with reasonable prior notice, it will permit any authorized representative of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine and audit the books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Issuer relating to the performance of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer will permit the representatives to make copies and extracts of those books and records and to discuss the same with the Issuer’s officers and registered public accountants. Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence that information except to the extent (a) disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) or (b) that the Indenture

Trustee, the Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, reasonably determines that the disclosure is consistent with its obligations under this Indenture.

Section 3.18. Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date:

(b) Power, Authorization and Enforceability. The Issuer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms this Indenture. The Issuer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the terms of this Indenture. This Indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

(c) No Conflicts and No Violation. The execution and delivery by the Issuer of this Indenture, the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the compliance by the Issuer with this Indenture will not (i) violate any Delaware State law, governmental rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer or any judgment or decree binding on it or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar agreement or instrument under which the Issuer is a debtor or guarantor, in each case which conflict, breach, default, Lien or violation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Indenture.

ARTICLE V
REMEDIES

Section 5.1. Events of Default.

(a) The occurrence of any one of the following events will constitute an event of default under this Indenture (each, an “Event of Default”):

(i) failure to pay interest due on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes payable on each Payment Date, and the failure continues for a period of five days or more;

(ii) failure to pay the principal of any Note at its Final Scheduled Payment Date or Redemption Date, if any;

(iii) failure to observe or perform any material covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than covenants and agreements as to which the failure to observe or perform is specifically covered elsewhere in this Section 5.1) or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any Officer’s Certificate or other document delivered under this Indenture proves to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time made and, in each case, the failure or incorrectness continues for a period of 60 days after notice was given to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class specifying the failure or incorrectness, requiring it to be remedied and stating that the notice is a “Notice of Default”; or

(iv) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of the Issuer.

(b) The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee within five Business Days after a Responsible Person of the Issuer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an event in Section 5.1(a)(iii) which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, which notice will describe the Default, the status of the Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect to the Default. The Issuer will deliver a copy of the notice to each Qualified Institution (if not the Indenture Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.

(c) The Indenture Trustee will notify the Noteholders within five Business Days after a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may declare all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by notice to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders). Upon any declaration, the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest through the date of acceleration, will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a)(iv) occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, and all other amounts payable under this Indenture, will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder. Upon any declaration or automatic acceleration, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify each Noteholder and each Qualified Institution (if not the Indenture Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.

(b) The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind a declaration of acceleration before a

judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article V if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to (A) pay all principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due under this Indenture or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to acceleration had not occurred, (B) pay all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 and (C) pay all other outstanding fees and expenses of the Issuer; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by the acceleration, have been cured or waived under Section 5.14.

No rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right resulting from the rescission.

Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness by the Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and continues, the Issuer, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, will pay to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the overdue amount with interest on any overdue principal at the applicable Note Interest Rate and, to the extent lawful, with interest on any overdue interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate. In addition, the Issuer covenants to pay, or to cause the Administrator to pay, the costs and expenses of collection, including all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.

(b) If the Issuer fails to pay the amounts upon demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute the Proceeding to final judgment, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the monies adjudged to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

(i) file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and file the other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties allowed in the Proceedings (including any amounts due to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7);

(iv) file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee and any Secured Parties allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property.

Any trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar official in any Proceeding is authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, if the Indenture Trustee consents to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to cover all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.

(b) Except for Section 5.4(a)(ii), this Indenture does not authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any Proceeding.

Section 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

(a) All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production of any of the Notes in any Proceeding relative to any of the Notes, and any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7, will be for the benefit of the Secured Parties in respect of which the judgment has been recovered.

(b) In any Proceeding brought by the Indenture Trustee (and any Proceeding involving the interpretation of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee is a party), the Indenture Trustee will be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it will not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any Proceeding.

Section 5.6. Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a) and the declaration of acceleration has not been rescinded in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.7), and will upon direction by the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class:

(i) institute a Proceeding in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with

respect to the Notes, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer monies adjudged due;

(ii) institute a Proceeding for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

The Indenture Trustee will notify each Noteholder and the Depositor of any sale or liquidation under Section 5.6(a)(iv) at least 15 days before the sale or liquidation. Any Noteholder, the Depositor or the Servicer may submit a bid with respect to the sale or liquidation.

(i) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii); or

(ii) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a)(iii) and:

(A) the Noteholders representing 100% of the Note Balance of the Notes consent to the sale or liquidation; or

(B) the proceeds of the sale or liquidation are expected to be sufficient to pay in full all amounts owed by the Issuer to the Secured Parties including all principal of and accrued interest on the Notes;

(iii) the Event of Default is described in Section 5.1(a)(iv) and:

(A) the Noteholders representing 100% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class consent to the sale or liquidation; or

(C) the Indenture Trustee (1) determines (but will have no obligation to make the determination) that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of all amounts owed to the Secured Parties, as those payments would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable and (2) obtains the

consent of Noteholders of at least 66-2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.

In determining whether the condition stated in clause (ii)(B), (iii)(B) or (iii)(C)(1) above has been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of a nationally recognized Independent investment banking firm or firm of certified public accountants as to the expected proceeds or as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for that purpose.

(c) Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee following the occurrence of an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Notes, will be deposited into the Collection Account for distribution in accordance with Section 8.2(e) on the Payment Date following the Collection Period during which the amounts are collected. In all other circumstances, Section 8.2(c) will continue to apply after an Event of Default.

Section 5.7. Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a) and the declaration has not been rescinded in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the Indenture Trustee may elect to maintain possession of the Collateral. It is the intention of the parties to this Indenture and the Noteholders that there at all times be sufficient funds derived from the Collateral for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The Indenture Trustee will take this intention into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may obtain and rely upon an opinion of a nationally recognized Independent investment banking firm or firm of certified public accountants as to the feasibility of the proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for this purpose.

Section 5.8. Limitation on Suits.

(a) No Noteholder has any right to institute any Proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture, unless:

(i) the Noteholder has given notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have requested the Indenture Trustee to institute the Proceeding in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture;

(iii) the Noteholders have offered reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against any costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities that may be incurred by the Indenture Trustee, or its agents, counsel, accountants and experts, in complying with the request;

(iv) the Indenture Trustee has failed to institute Proceedings for 60 days after its receipt of the notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

(v) the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have not given the Indenture Trustee any direction inconsistent with the request during that 60 day period.

(b) No Noteholder has any right to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this Indenture.

(c) If the Indenture Trustee receives conflicting requests under Section 5.8(a)(ii) from two or more groups of Noteholders, each evidencing less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, will be taken.

Section 5.9. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Noteholder has an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and any interest on its Note on or after the due dates expressed in the Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) in accordance with this Indenture and of the other Transaction Documents and to institute a Proceeding for the enforcement of any payment in accordance with Section 5.8. These rights may not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Noteholder.

Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholder, then the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, subject to any determination in the Proceeding, will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions under this Indenture, and subsequently all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue as though no Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders in this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, will be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Indenture or now or in the future existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture will not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders will be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under the judgment upon any of the Collateral.

Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default will impair any right or remedy, or constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. Every right and remedy conferred by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee

or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.13. Control by Noteholders. The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(a) the direction does not conflict with any law or with this Indenture;

(b) except for Section 5.6(b), any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral must be made by the Noteholders of 100% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class;

(c) if the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral under Section 5.7, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of less than 100% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class to sell or liquidate the Collateral will be of no force and effect; and

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with the direction from the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders in this Section 5.13, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to the action.

Section 5.14. Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.

(a) The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any Default or Event of Default, except an Event of Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes (other than an Event of Default relating to failure to pay principal due only by reason of acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified without the consent of all Noteholders.

(b) Upon any waiver, the Default or Event of Default will be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture. The waiver will not extend to any other Default or Event of Default or impair any right relating to any other Default or Event of Default.

Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs. The parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance of a Note will be deemed to have agreed, that a court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in the Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of the Proceeding, and that the court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the Proceeding. This Section 5.15 will not apply to (a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders holding more

than 10% of the Note Balance of the Notes (or in the case of a Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture that is instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class) or (c) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the due dates expressed in the Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) waives all benefit or advantage of any law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power in this Indenture granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no law had been enacted.

Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement of Some Obligations.

(a) At the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer will promptly take all lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to (i) compel the performance by (A) the Depositor and the Servicer of their obligations to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (B) the Depositor and Ford Credit of their obligations under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims lawfully available to the Issuer under those agreements to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of the Noteholders of at least 66-2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class will, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against (i) the Depositor or the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (ii) the Depositor or Ford Credit under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by those Persons of their obligations to the Issuer under those agreements, and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under those agreements, and any right of the Issuer to take action will be suspended.

If the parties to this Indenture determine to further clarify or amend Sections 6.6(c) or (d), this Indenture may be amended to reflect the new agreement between the parties covering matters in Sections 6.6(c) or (d) under Section 9.1(a), which amendment will not require the delivery of any Opinions of Counsel or satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

Section 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer will, or will cause the Administrator to, pay the Indenture Trustee as compensation for the Indenture Trustee’s services under this Indenture the fees as have been separately agreed upon on the date of this Indenture between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee, including costs of collection, and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts, but excluding any expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment).

(b) The Issuer will, or will cause the Administrator to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts) incurred by it for the administration of and the performance of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any loss, damage, claim or liability incurred by it for the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture, but excluding any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability (i) incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) or (ii) arising out of the Indenture Trustee’s breach of any of its representations or warranties in this Indenture.

(c) Promptly upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, or any of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against any Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made under Section 6.7(b), notify the Issuer and the Administrator of the commencement of the Proceeding. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator will not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations under this Section 6.7; provided, that neither the Issuer nor the Administrator has been materially prejudiced by the failure to so notify and notice is given within 180 days of a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee learning of the Proceeding. The Issuer, or, if Issuer so causes, the Administrator, may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any Proceeding at its expense, and no settlement of the Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, and the Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. After notice from the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, to the Indemnified Person of the intention of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, to assume the defense of the Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and so long as the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, so assumes the defense of the Proceeding in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, neither the Issuer nor the Administrator will be liable for any legal expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, on one hand, and an Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in which case the Issuer or the Administrator, will pay for the separate counsel to the Indemnified Person.

(d) The obligations of the Issuer and the Administrator to the Indenture Trustee under this Section 6.7 will survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. Expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee after the occurrence of a Default under Section 5.1(a)(iv) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee under this Section 6.8. Subject to the prior sentence, the Indenture Trustee may resign by notifying the Issuer. The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

(b) The Issuer must remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee; or

(iii) the Indenture Trustee becomes legally unable to act or otherwise incapable of acting as Indenture Trustee.

(c) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason, the Issuer must appoint a successor Indenture Trustee promptly.

(d) Any successor Indenture Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Administrator. Upon delivery of an acceptance, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee will become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee will have all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Issuer will continue to pay all amounts owed to the retiring Indenture Trustee in accordance with Sections 6.7 and 8.2 following the retiring Indenture Trustee’s resignation or removal until all amounts are paid. The successor Indenture Trustee will deliver a notice of its succession to the Secured Parties. The retiring Indenture Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee tenders its resignation or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the retiring Indenture Trustee under this Section 6.8, any obligations of the Issuer and the Administrator owing to the retiring Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

(a) If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will be the successor Indenture Trustee so long as the Person is otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Servicer and the Issuer (who will notify the Rating Agencies) of the transaction.

(b) If, at the time any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes have been authenticated but not delivered, the successor may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Indenture Trustee and deliver the Notes so authenticated. If at that time any of the Notes have not been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate the Notes either in the name of any predecessor Indenture Trustee or in the name of the successor Indenture Trustee. In all cases, the certificates will have the same force and effect provided for anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture as the certificate of the predecessor Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.10. Appointment of Separate Indenture Trustee or Co-Indenture Trustee.

(a) For the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any portion of the Collateral may at the time be located, after delivering notice to the Issuer and the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Persons to act as a separate trustee or separate trustees, or co-trustee or co-trustees, of all or any portion of the Collateral, and to vest in those Persons, in that capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, title to all or any portion of the Collateral, and, subject to this Section 6.10, the rights, powers, duties and obligations as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No separate trustee or co-trustee will be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to the Secured Parties of the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee will be required under Section 6.8.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee will, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee will be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee and the separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that the separate trustee or co-trustee will not be authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in the act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee will be incompetent or unqualified to perform the act or acts, in which event the rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to all or any portion of the Collateral in any jurisdiction) will be exercised and performed singly by the separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) no trustee will be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Indenture; and

(iii) the Indenture Trustee may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee will be deemed to have been given to each appointed separate trustee and co-trustee, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee will refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Section 6.10. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, will be vested with the estates or property stated in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, subject to this Indenture. Every instrument of appointment will be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may appoint the Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee dies, becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts will vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with the terms of the prior sentence, the Indenture Trustee must comply with TIA Section 310(b)(ii) and (iii).

(c) If a successor Indenture Trustee is appointed with respect to any of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes or Class D Notes under this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee will execute an indenture supplemental to this Indenture. Each supplemental indenture will contain:

(i) provisions by which the successor Indenture Trustee accepts its appointment;

(ii) provisions necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of the successor Indenture Trustee relates;

An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to Section 311(c) of the TIA.

Section 6.13. Audits of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee agrees that, with reasonable prior notice, it will permit any authorized representative of the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator, during the Indenture Trustee’s normal business hours, to examine and audit the books of account, records, reports and other documents and materials of the Indenture Trustee relating to (a) the performance of the Indenture Trustee’s obligations under this Indenture, (b) any payments of fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee for the performance and (c) any claim made by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. In addition, the Indenture Trustee will permit the representatives to make copies and extracts of any books and records and to discuss the same with the Indenture Trustee’s officers and employees. Each of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator will, and will cause its authorized representatives to, hold in confidence all the information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, may reasonably determine that the disclosure is consistent with its obligations under this Indenture.

No party relying upon an instrument or authorization executed by the Indenture

Trustee as provided in this Article VIII is required to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or require evidence as to the application of any monies.

Section 9.5. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed under this Article IX will conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

If the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to the supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE X

After the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee that the Issuer will exercise its option under Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Noteholders:

(iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each signatory, the condition or covenant has been complied with.

(c) (i) Before depositing any cash or property with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property subject to the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer will, furnish to the Indenture Trustee (A) an Officer’s Certificate stating the opinion of each Responsible Person signing the certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of the deposit) to the Issuer of the cash or property to be so deposited and (B) an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other the securities made the basis of any withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-

current year, in the certificates delivered under Section 11.1(c)(i)(A), is 10% or more of the Note Balance of the Notes, but a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any property or securities so deposited, if the fair value of the property or securities to the Issuer in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Note Balance of the Notes.

(ii) Whenever any property or securities are to be released from the Lien of this Indenture, the Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Responsible Person signing the certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of the release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of the Responsible Person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture and (B) an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, other than property as contemplated by Section 11.1(d), or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current year, in the certificates required by Section 11.1(c)(ii)(A) and this Section 11.1(c)(ii)(B), equals 10% or more of the Note Balance of the Notes, but the certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities, if the fair value of the property or securities in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the Note Balance of the Notes.

(e) If the Securities and Exchange Commission issues an exemptive order under Section 304(d) of the TIA modifying the Indenture Trustee’s obligations under Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) of the TIA, the Indenture Trustee will release property from the Lien of this Indenture only in accordance with the Transaction Documents and the conditions and procedures in the exemptive order.

Section 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a) Any Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Person of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an opinion of counsel, unless the Responsible Person knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion, with respect to the matters upon which the Officer’s Certificate is based, is erroneous. Any Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Person of the Issuer or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon an Officer’s Certificate of or representation by a Responsible Person of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Issuer (including by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer), stating that the information with respect to the factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless the Responsible Person of the Issuer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the Officer’s Certificate or representation with respect to those matters is erroneous.

(b) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any Person, it is not necessary that all the matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one Person, or that they be certified or covered by only one document, but one Person may certify or give an opinion for some matters and one or more other Persons as to other matters, and any Person may certify or give an opinion as to matters in one or several documents.

Section 11.3. Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Noteholders or a stated percentage of Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by the Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture the action will become effective when the instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, if required, to the Issuer. The instrument or instruments (and the action embodied in the instrument or instruments and evidenced by the instrument or instruments) are sometimes referred to in this Indenture as the “Act of Noteholders” signing the instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any agent will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) Any Act of Noteholders will bind the Noteholder of every Note issued upon the registration of the Note or in exchange for the Note or in lieu of the Note, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance on the Note, whether or not notation of the action is made upon the Note.

Section 11.4. Notices to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.

(a) Unless otherwise stated in this Indenture, all notices, requests, demands, consents, waivers or other communications to or from the parties to this Indenture must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and made:

(i) upon delivery or, in the case of a letter mailed by registered first class mail, postage prepaid, three days after deposit in the mail;

(ii) in the case of a fax, when receipt is confirmed by telephone, reply email or reply fax from the recipient;

(iii) in the case of an email, when receipt is confirmed by telephone or reply email from the recipient; and

(iv) in the case of an electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the recipient has been provided access, upon delivery (without the requirement of confirmation of receipt) of an email to the recipient stating that the electronic posting has occurred.

Unless otherwise stated in this Indenture, any notice, request, demand, consent or other communication must be delivered or addressed as set forth on Schedule B to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at any other address as any party may designate by notice to the other parties.

(b) Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder (i) in the case of Definitive Notes, must be sent by overnight delivery, mailed by registered first class mail, postage prepaid or sent by fax, to the address of the Person as shown in the Note Register or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Notes, must be delivered pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Clearing Agency. Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Indenture will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder receives the notice.

Section 11.5. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Any notice to Noteholders will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise provided in this Indenture) if in writing and (i) in the case of Definitive Notes, sent by overnight delivery, mailed by registered first class mail, postage prepaid or sent by fax, to each Noteholder adversely affected by the event, at its address or fax number as it appears on the Note Register or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Notes, delivered pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Clearing Agency, in each case, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of the notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail the notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder will affect the sufficiency of the notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this Indenture will conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, the notice may be waived by any Person entitled to receive the notice, either before or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture Trustee but the filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon a waiver.

(c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it is impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when the notice is required to be given under this Indenture, then any manner of giving the notice satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of the notice.

(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give the notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created under this Indenture, and will not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

Section 11.6. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision of this Indenture that is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, any required or deemed provision will control. The provisions of Sections 310 through 317 of the TIA that impose duties

on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included in this Indenture unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture.

Section 11.7. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties to this Indenture and their successors under this Indenture, and the Secured Parties and any other party with rights to payments or distributions under this Indenture, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any portion of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 11.8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 11.9. Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York, New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Indenture. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may do so, any objection that they may now or in the future have to the laying of the venue of any proceeding brought in one of those courts and any claim that any proceeding brought in one of those courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS INDENTURE IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS INDENTURE.

Section 11.11. Severability. If any of the covenants, agreements or terms of this Indenture is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then it will be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements or terms of this Indenture and will in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining Indenture or of the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders.

Section 11.12. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart will be an original, and all counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.13. Headings. The headings in this Indenture are included for convenience only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Indenture.

Section 11.14. Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered under this Indenture or the Notes, against (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee each in its individual capacity, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity or (d) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the

Indenture Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as the Person may have agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no obligations in their individual capacities). For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Owner Trustee will be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, Articles V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

Section 11.15. Subordination of Claims against the Depositor.

(a) The obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture are solely the obligations of the Issuer and do not represent any obligation or interest in any assets of the Depositor. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note or an interest or participation in a Note, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if the Indenture Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, the Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim to or benefit in or from the Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, under insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then the Indenture Trustee, Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any interest, claim or benefit in or from the Other Assets is expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of the Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of or otherwise secured by the Other Assets (whether or not any entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement is deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder and each Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.15 and this Section 11.15 may be enforced by an action for specific performance.

(b) This Section 11.15 is for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely on this Section 11.15 and will survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 11.16. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or an interest or participation in a Note, each covenants and agrees that, before the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after the payment in full of (a) all securities issued by the Depositor or by a trust for which the Depositor was a depositor and (b) the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Depositor or the Issuer, respectively, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or State bankruptcy or similar law. This Section 11.16 will survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if the Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim to or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, under insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then the Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by Other Assets (whether or not any entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on the other obligations and liabilities.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State, and local income and franchise tax purposes, Notes that are beneficially owned by a Person other than Ford Credit or its Affiliates will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a

A-5

beneficial interest in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

For any date of determination, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as of that date as the owner of the Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and any interest on the Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee will recognize notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with some exceptions requiring the consent of all adversely affected Noteholders as provided in the Indenture, the amendment of the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive some terms and conditions in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders provided some conditions are satisfied. In addition, the Indenture contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing stated percentages of the Note Balance of the Notes or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with some provisions of the Indenture and some defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and binding upon the Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in lieu of this Note whether or not notation of the consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under some circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to some limitations in the Indenture.

THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture, will alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.

A-6

any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications in the Indenture.
