BACKGROUND

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

In connection with a securitization transaction sponsored by Ford Credit, Ford Credit sold a pool of Receivables consisting of retail installment sale contracts to the Depositor, who sold them to the Issuer.

The Issuer has granted a security interest in the pool of Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Notes issued by the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Issuer has determined to engage the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform reviews of certain Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties made by Ford Credit and the Depositor about the Receivables in the pool.

Section 3.2.                                 Identification of Review Receivables.  Within ten Business Days after receipt of a Review Notice, the Servicer will deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee a list of the Review Receivables.

Section 3.3.                                 Review Materials.

(a)                                 Access to Review Materials.  The Servicer will give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Review Materials for all of the Review Receivables within 60 days after receipt of the Review Notice in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s receivables systems, either remotely or at an office of the Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer where the Receivable Files are located or (iv) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer.  The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials for the Review.

(b)                                 Missing or Insufficient Review Materials.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review Materials to determine if any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test.  If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines any missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than 20 days before completing the Review.  The Servicer will have 15 days to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct the insufficiency.  If the missing Review Materials or other documents have not been provided by the Servicer within 15 days, the related Review Receivable will have a Test Fail for the Test or Tests that require use of the missing or insufficient Review Materials.  If the Contract for any Review Receivable is not provided or is illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will be unable to perform any Tests and the related Review Receivable will have an overall Test Fail for all Tests.  In either of these cases, the Test or Tests will be considered completed and the Review Report will report a Test Fail for the related Review Receivable or applicable representation or warranty and the reason for the Test Fail.

Section 3.4.                                 Performance of Reviews.

(a)                                 Test Procedures.  For a Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each Review Receivable the procedures listed under “Tests” in Schedule B for each representation and warranty (each, a “Test”), using the Review Materials necessary to perform the procedures as stated in the Test.  For each Test and Review Receivable, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”).  If a Test or part of a Test cannot be performed for a Review Receivable because the Test circumstances do not apply to the Review Receivable, the Test will be considered to be satisfied and will be reported as a Test Pass.

(b)                                 Review Period.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review of all of the Review Receivables within 60 days after receiving access to the Review Materials under Section 3.3(a).  However, if missing or additional Review Materials are provided to the

Asset Representations Reviewer under Section 3.3(b), the Review period will be extended for an additional 30 days.

(c)                                  Completion of Review for Certain Review Receivables.  Following the delivery of the list of the Review Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Receivable is paid in full by the Obligor or purchased from the Issuer by the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer according to the Transaction Documents.  If such a notice is received, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such Receivable and the Review of the Receivable will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”).  In this case, the Asset Representations Reviewer will report a Test Complete for the Receivable on the Review Report and the related reason.

(d)                                 Previously Reviewed Receivable; Duplicative Tests.  If a Review Receivable was included in a prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not perform any Tests on it, but will report the results of the previous Tests in the Review Report for the current Review and note that the results relate to a prior Review.  If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on Schedule B, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Review Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation and warranty on the Review Report.

(e)                                  Termination of Review.  If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten days before that Payment Date.  On receipt of notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report.

Section 3.5.                                 Review Reports.  Within five days after the end of the Review period under Section 3.4(b), the Asset Representations Reviewer will deliver to the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a Review Report indicating for each Review Receivable whether there was a Test Pass or a Test Fail for each Test, or whether the Review Receivable was an overall Test Fail (for a missing or illegible Contract) or a Test Complete.  For each Test Fail, overall Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason.  The Review Report will contain a summary of the Review results to be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report for the Collection Period in which the Review Report is received.  The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Issuer PII.  On reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional detail on the Test results.

Section 3.6.                                 Review Representatives.

(a)                                 Servicer Representative.  The Servicer will designate one or more representatives who will be available to assist the Asset Representations Reviewer in performing the Review, including responding to requests and answering questions from the Asset Representations Reviewer about the Review Materials or Tests, access to Review Materials on the Servicer’s originations, receivables or other systems, obtaining missing or insufficient Review Materials and/or providing clarification of any Review Materials or Tests.
