 Each of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (“Ford Credit”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (each, a “Servicing Participant”) has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function during the reporting period with respect to the pool assets held by Ford Credit Floorplan Master Owner Trust A (the “Trust”).  Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) as of December 31, 2019 and for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, which Reports on Assessment are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.  In addition, each of the Servicing Participants has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by an independent registered public accounting firm regarding its related Report on Assessment, which Attestation Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.
 Each of the BNYM Report on Assessment and the Attestation Report for BNYM identified material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) as further described in the related reports. Ford Credit performs all servicing functions under the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) with respect to Ford Credit’s Platform (as defined in Ford Credit’s Report on Assessment). BNYM does not perform any servicing functions under the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) for Ford Credit’s Platform. BNYM has confirmed to the Trust that no material instances of noncompliance with respect to the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) described in BNYM’s Report on Assessment  and the Attestation Report for BNYM  involved the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities issued by the Trust or the asset-backed securities themselves.  Further, as described in the BNYM Report on Assessment and the Attestation Report for BNYM, the material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) concern activities related to asset-backed securities transactions that are backed by an asset type other than the assets backing the asset-backed securities issued by the Trust.
 Neither the Ford Credit Report on Assessment nor the Attestation Report for Ford Credit has identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria described in the Ford Credit Report on Assessment as being applicable to Ford Credit.
