Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Introduction. Each of Ford Credit Floorplan Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("FCF Corp" or a "Depositor"), and Ford Credit Floorplan LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("FCF LLC" or a "Depositor" and, together with FCF Corp, the "Depositors"), propose to sell the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes (together, the "Publicly Registered Notes") described in the Terms Annex (the "Terms Annex") that is attached as Annex A and incorporated into and made part of this agreement (this agreement including the Terms Annex, this "Agreement"). The Publicly Registered Notes will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and will be sold to the applicable underwriters listed in the Terms Annex through the representatives (the "Representatives") signing this Agreement on behalf of themselves and such underwriters (the Representatives and the other underwriters of the Publicly Registered Notes, the "Underwriters"). Other capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement will have the meanings given them in the Transaction Documents (defined below). The rules of usage specified in the Transaction Documents will apply to this Agreement.

The Publicly Registered Notes will be issued by a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust") identified in the Terms Annex and established under a trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement") among the Depositors and an owner trustee and Delaware trustee (the "Owner Trustee") identified in the Terms Annex. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Publicly Registered Notes as contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust will issue the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes (the "Class B Notes", the "Class C Notes" and the "Class D Notes", respectively, and collectively with the Publicly Registered Notes, the "Notes"). The Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes will initially be retained by the Depositors. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Base Indenture") and an indenture supplement (the "Indenture Supplement" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture") between the Trust and an indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") and will be secured by a revolving pool of receivables arising in connection with the purchase and financing by various motor vehicle dealers of their new and used car and truck inventory (the "Receivables") and the Related Security and certain monies due thereunder on or after the Series Cutoff Date identified in the Terms Annex. The assets of the Trust also include an Interest in Other Floorplan Assets comprised of a 100% participation interest in a pool of Receivables held by Ford Credit Floorplan Master Owner Trust B ("MOTB"). References herein to the Receivables include the Receivables held by the Trust both directly and indirectly through any participation interest.

The Receivables arising from the purchase by dealers of Ford-manufactured or -distributed vehicles ("In-Transit Receivables") will be or have been sold by Ford Motor Company, a Delaware corporation ("Ford"), to Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Ford Credit"), pursuant to a sale and assignment agreement (the "Sale and Assignment Agreement") between Ford and Ford Credit. All Receivables have been or will be sold by Ford Credit to the Depositors pursuant to separate receivables purchase agreements (each, a "Receivables Purchase Agreement") between Ford Credit and FCF Corp and FCF LLC, as applicable, each as further described in the Terms Annex, and in turn transferred by the related Depositor to the Trust or MOTB and serviced for the Trust or MOTB by Ford Credit (in such capacity, the "Servicer") pursuant to separate transfer and servicing agreements (each, a "Transfer and Servicing Agreement"), each as further described in the Terms Annex. A back-up servicer will perform back-up servicing functions pursuant to a back-up servicing agreement (the "Back-up Servicing Agreement"), as described in the Terms Annex. Ford Credit will also act as administrator for the Trust pursuant to an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement") among Ford Credit, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

The Trust Agreement, the Sale and Assignment Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Transfer and Servicing Agreements, the Back-up Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Administration Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Basic Documents." The Basic Documents and this Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Transaction Documents."

The Depositors have prepared and filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the "Rules and Regulations"), a registration statement on Form S-3 (having the registration number stated in the Terms Annex), including a form of prospectus and all amendments that are required as of the date of this Agreement relating to the Publicly Registered Notes and the offering of notes from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration statement, as amended, has been declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement, as amended at the time of effectiveness, including all material incorporated by reference therein, is referred to in this Agreement as the "Registration Statement." The Depositors also have filed with, or will file with, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) ("Rule 424(b)") under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement relating to the Publicly Registered Notes (the "Prospectus Supplement"). The prospectus relating to the Publicly Registered Notes in the form first required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act is referred to as the "Base Prospectus," and the Base Prospectus as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement required to be filed to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 172(c) under the Securities Act is referred to as the "Prospectus." Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes described in the Terms Annex (the "Preliminary Prospectus") or the Prospectus will be deemed to refer to and include any exhibits thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be.

At or prior to the time that the Representatives first entered into "contracts of sale" (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act, the "Contracts of Sale") with investors in Publicly Registered Notes, which time will be specified in the Terms Annex (such time, the "Time of Sale"), the Depositors have prepared the Preliminary Prospectus and the information (including any "free-writing prospectus," as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act (a "Free Writing Prospectus")) listed in the Terms Annex under "Time of Sale Information" (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"). If, subsequent to the initial Time of Sale, the Depositors and the Representatives determine that the original Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Representatives advise the Depositors

that investors in the Publicly Registered Notes have elected to terminate their initial Contracts of Sale and enter into new Contracts of Sale, then the "Time of Sale" will refer to the time of entry into the first new Contract of Sale and the "Time of Sale Information" will refer to the information available to purchasers at the time of entry (prior to the Closing Date) into the first new Contract of Sale, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (such new information, the "Corrective Information") and the Terms Annex will be deemed to be amended to include such Corrective Information in the Time of Sale Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of Section 7, in the event that an investor elects not to terminate its initial Contract of Sale and enter into a new Contract of Sale, "Time of Sale" will refer to the time of entry into such initial Contract of Sale and "Time of Sale Information" with respect to Publicly Registered Notes to be purchased by such investor will refer to information available to such purchaser at the time of entry into such initial Contract of Sale.

On or prior to the Time of Sale and on or prior to the Closing Date, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or other independent accountants reasonably acceptable to the Representatives) will have furnished to the Representatives a letter substantially in the form and substance of the draft to which the Representatives previously agreed, concerning information in the Preliminary Prospectus and the final Prospectus, respectively.

(b) Registration Compliance; No Stop Order. The Prospectus and each Trust Free Writing Prospectus will have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of an Trust Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and in accordance with Section 5(b); and, as of the Closing Date, no stop order will have been issued suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, and no proceedings for such purpose will be pending before or, to the knowledge of the Depositors, threatened by the Commission.

(c) Officer's Certificates as to Representations and Warranties. The Representatives will have received an officer's certificate dated the Closing Date of the Chairman of the Board, the President, an Executive Vice President, a Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of:

(i) Ford Credit, in which such officer will state that, to his or her knowledge after reasonable investigation, the representations and warranties of the Servicer contained in each

Transfer and Servicing Agreement and of Ford Credit contained in each Receivables Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects and that Ford Credit has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions to be performed by it or satisfied by it under such agreements in all material respects.

(ii) Each Depositor, in which such officer will state that, to his or her knowledge after reasonable investigation, the representations and warranties of such Depositor contained in the Trust Agreement, each Transfer and Servicing Agreement and each Receivables Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and that such Depositor has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions to be performed by it or satisfied by it under such agreements in all material respects.

(d) Officer's Certificates as to Conditions Precedent. The Representatives will have received as of the Closing Date an officer's certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, an Executive Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of each Depositor representing and warranting that the representations and warranties of such Depositor in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and that such Depositor has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions to be performed by it or satisfied by it under this Agreement in all material respects.

(e) No Material Adverse Change. Since the dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, there has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting particularly (i) the business or assets of either Depositor, or any material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of either Depositor or (ii) the business or assets of Ford Credit and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or any material adverse change in the financial position or results of operations of Ford Credit and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, which in any case makes it impracticable or inadvisable in the Representatives' reasonable judgment to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Publicly Registered Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(f) War Out; Market Out. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

(i) (A) there will not have occurred a declaration of a general moratorium on commercial banking activities by either the Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in the securities settlement or clearance systems in the United States, which moratorium or disruption remains in effect and which, in the Representatives' reasonable judgment, substantially impairs the Underwriters' ability to settle the transaction; provided that the exercise of such judgment will take into account the availability of alternative means for settlement and the likely duration of such moratorium or disruption with the understanding that if the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or with respect to a banking moratorium, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or New York State banking authority, as applicable, has unequivocally stated prior to the Closing Date that the resumption of such systems will occur within three (3) Business Days of the scheduled Closing Date for the Publicly Registered Notes, the ability to settle the transaction will not be deemed to be substantially impaired and (B) the United States will not have become engaged in hostilities which have resulted in the declaration of a national emergency or a declaration of war, which makes it impracticable or inadvisable, in the Representatives' reasonable judgment, to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Publicly Registered Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented; and

(ii) there will not have occurred (A) any suspension or limitation on trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market system, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market system, (B) any suspension of trading of any securities of Ford Motor Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market or (C) any material outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the engagement of armed conflict in which the United States is involved or (D) any material adverse change in the general economic, political, legal, tax, regulatory or financial conditions or currency exchange rates in the United States (whether resulting from events within or outside the United States) which, in the Representatives' view has caused a substantial deterioration in the price and/or value of the Publicly Registered Notes, that in the case of clause (A), (B), (C) or (D), in the mutual reasonable determination of the Representatives and Ford Credit, the effect of any such event or circumstance makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Publicly Registered Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented.

(g) In-house Opinion. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Secretary of each of the Depositors and Ford Credit and Associate General Counsel, Global Structured Finance, of Ford Credit, or other counsel satisfactory to the Representatives in their reasonable judgment, will have furnished to the Representatives her written opinion, dated as of the Closing Date, in form satisfactory to the Representatives in their reasonable judgment, substantially to the effect that:

(i) Ford Credit is validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Delaware Code §18-101 et seq., as amended (the "Delaware Limited Liability Company Act").

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the

indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its reasonable judgment, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party if indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Ford Credit and the Depositor on the one hand and such Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party will contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Ford Credit and the Depositors on the one hand and such Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Ford Credit and the Depositors on the one hand and such Underwriter on the other will be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositors bear to the portion received by such Underwriter of the total underwriting discounts and commissions set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Ford Credit, the Depositors and their affiliates or by such Underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission, including, with respect to such Underwriter, the extent to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) result from the fact that such Underwriter sold the Publicly Registered Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the entry into the related Contract of Sale, a copy of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, whichever is more recent, if the Depositors have previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter.

Ford Credit, the Depositors and the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no

Underwriter will be required to contribute any amount pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter, as reduced by the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of the Publicly Registered Notes in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Publicly Registered Notes as set forth in the Terms Annex and not joint.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate liability of any Underwriter to Ford Credit and the Depositor in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, legal or other expenses or other amounts (collectively, "Amounts") arising out of or based upon any breaches or alleged breaches by such Underwriter of its covenant set forth in Section 8(l)(ii), without regard to whether such Amounts are payable by such Underwriter under the indemnification provided by Section 7(b) or as damages for breach of contract or otherwise, will in no event exceed the portion received by the Underwriter of the total underwriting discounts and commissions set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes.

8. Free Writing Prospectuses; Delivery of Preliminary Prospectus

(a) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, no Underwriter will convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Publicly Registered Notes unless such written communication (i) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (ii) constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B under the Securities Act or (iii) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus.

(b) Each Underwriter represents and agrees with the Depositors and Ford Credit that (i) it has not and will not prepare or use any Free Writing Prospectus (any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of an Underwriter is referred to as an "Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus") that contains any information other than (x) information included in the Preliminary Prospectus or to be included in the final Prospectus ("Trust Information") or (y) expected pricing parameters for the Publicly Registered Notes and status of subscriptions or allocations for the Publicly Registered Notes, unless otherwise agreed to by the Depositors, (ii) it will discuss with the Depositors and Ford Credit the information to be included, prior to its first use, in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that includes pricing-related information (including class size, coupons or spread and price placed on Bloomberg screens) unless such pricing-related information was contained in an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus previously discussed with the Depositors, and (iii) it will not use any "ABS informational and computational material," as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act. Each Underwriter will deliver to the Depositors any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed with the Commission (other than an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus referred to in Section 8(f)) the Business Day prior to its first use (except as otherwise agreed by the Depositors), except that the Representatives agree to provide an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus with all final pricing information as soon as practicable on the day the Publicly Registered Notes are priced.

(c) Each Depositor represents and agrees with the Underwriters that it has not prepared any Free Writing Prospectuses other than any listed in the Terms Annex under "Trust Free Writing Prospectuses."

(d) Each Underwriter represents and agrees with the Depositors and Ford Credit that each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared or used by such Underwriter, if any, when read in conjunction with the Preliminary Prospectus and any Trust Free Writing Prospectus, will not, as of the date such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was conveyed or delivered to any prospective purchaser of Publicly Registered Notes, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Trust Information supplied by the Depositors or Ford Credit to the Representatives or such Underwriter, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositors or Ford Credit to the Representatives or such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale.

(e) The Depositors agree to file with the Commission when required under the Rules and Regulations the following:

(i) the Preliminary Prospectus;

(ii) each Trust Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act;

(iii) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act (other than an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act); provided that such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was delivered to the Depositors reasonably in advance of the time required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act; and

(iv) any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Depositors or any person acting on their behalf provided, authorized and approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Depositors or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications.

(f) Each Underwriter agrees to file with the Commission any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it when required to be filed under Rule 433(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act, and upon request, deliver a copy to the Depositors and Ford Credit.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(e) and Section 8(f), neither Depositor nor any Underwriter will be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

(h) The Depositors and each Underwriter agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it will contain substantially the following legend:

The depositors have filed a registration statement (including a prospectus supplement and prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement and the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the depositors have filed with the SEC for more complete information about the depositors, the issuing entity and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting ▇▇▇▇▇ on the SEC Web site at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Alternatively, the depositors, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the

prospectus supplement and prospectus if you request it by calling RBS Securities Inc. toll-free at ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Incorporated toll-free at ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.

(i) Each Depositor and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

(j) Each Underwriter, severally, represents and agrees (i) that it did not enter into any Contract of Sale for any Publicly Registered Notes prior to the Time of Sale and (ii) that it will, at any time that such Underwriter is acting as an "underwriter" (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes, convey the Preliminary Prospectus to each investor to whom Publicly Registered Notes are sold by it during the period prior to the filing of the final Prospectus (as notified to the Underwriters by the Depositors), at or prior to the applicable time of any such Contract of Sale with respect to such investor.

(k) Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositors and the Trust that after the final Prospectus is made available to such Underwriter, it will not distribute any written information in connection with the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes during the ninety-day period (or such longer period as required by law) following the Closing Date to a prospective purchaser of Publicly Registered Notes unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.

(l) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, (i) represents to Ford Credit, the Depositors and the Trust that it has not provided, as of the date of this Agreement, and covenants with Ford Credit, the Depositors and the Trust that it will not provide, on or prior to the Closing Date, to any Rating Agency or other "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), any information, written or oral, relating to the Trust, the Notes, the Receivables, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents or any other information, that could be reasonably determined to be relevant to determining an initial credit rating for the Publicly Registered Notes (as contemplated by Rule 17g-5(a)(iii)(3)(C)), without the prior consent of Ford Credit, the Depositors or the Administrator and (ii) covenants with Ford Credit, the Depositors and the Trust that it will not provide to any Rating Agency or other "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (within the meaning of the Exchange Act), any information, written or oral, relating to the Trust, the Notes, the Receivables, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents or any other information, that could be reasonably determined to be relevant to undertaking credit rating surveillance for the Publicly Registered Notes (as contemplated by Rule 17g-5(a)(iii)(3)(D)), without the prior consent of Ford Credit, the Depositors or the Administrator.

9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of Ford Credit and the Depositors or the officers of Ford Credit and the Depositors and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Ford Credit, the Depositors or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors of any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Publicly Registered Notes.

10. Failure to Purchase the Publicly Registered Notes.

(a) If the purchase of the Publicly Registered Notes is not consummated because the circumstances described in Section 6(f) have occurred, then neither Ford Credit nor the Depositors will have any liability to the Underwriters with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes except as provided in Section 5(h) and Section 7; but if for any other reason (subject to subsection (b) below), the Publicly

Registered Notes are not delivered to the Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, Ford Credit and the Depositors will be liable, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Underwriters, through the Representatives, for all out-of-pocket expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes, but neither Ford Credit nor the Depositors will then have any further liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Publicly Registered Notes except as provided in Section 5(h) and Section 7.

(b) If any Underwriter or Underwriters default on their obligations to purchase Publicly Registered Notes hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of Publicly Registered Notes that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Publicly Registered Notes, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Depositors for the purchase of such Publicly Registered Notes by other persons, including the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters will be obligated, in proportion to their commitments hereunder, to purchase the Publicly Registered Notes that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Publicly Registered Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Publicly Registered Notes and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and the Depositors for the purchase of such Publicly Registered Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter and Ford Credit and the Depositors, except as provided in Section 5(h) and Section 7. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters from liability for its default.

11. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Depositor acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes: (a) the Underwriters have acted at arm's length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, such Depositor or any other person, (b) the Underwriters owe such Depositor only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (c) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of such Depositor. The Depositor waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes.

This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Publicly Registered Notes, represents the entire agreement between the Depositors and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the Prospectus, and the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Publicly Registered Notes.

12. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, waivers or other communications to or from the parties to this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given and made:
