Ford Credit has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.  Ford Credit has policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that the vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.

5.              Ford Credit has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2012 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

6.              Ford Credit has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the vendors with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2012 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

7.              Ford Credit has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the vendors with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2012 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.

 

8.              PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on Ford Credit’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria for the Reporting Period.
