the First-Tier Sale Agreement, and immediately before the transactions contemplated by the Trust
Agreement and the Indenture, the Depositor sells and assigns to the Issuer, without recourse, the
Second-Tier Assets.



     (b) In consideration for the Second-Tier Assets, the Issuer will pay to the Depositor, without
recourse, all right, title and interest of the Issuer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in,
to and under the Notes and the rights to distributions under Section 8.2 of the Indenture, as
payment for the 2011-A Exchange Note. The Second-Tier Assets will become the property and rights
of the Issuer.



     (c) The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Second-Tier Assets pursuant to this
Agreement is without recourse, and the Depositor does not guarantee collection of the Second-Tier
Assets or any underlying asset included in the 2011-A Reference Pool.



     Section 2.2. Closing; Further Assignments.



     (a) The sale and assignment of the Second-Tier Assets will take place on the 2011-A Closing
Date concurrently with the closings under the First-Tier Sale Agreement, the Indenture and the
Initial Purchase Agreement.



     (b) The Depositor acknowledges that the Issuer will, pursuant to the Indenture, assign and
pledge the Second-Tier Assets and certain other property and rights to the Indenture Trustee for
the benefit of the 2011-A Secured Parties. The Depositor consents to such assignment and pledge.



     (c) The Issuer acknowledges the appointment of Ford Credit as Servicer with respect to the
Collateral Specified Interests pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and as Servicer with respect to

     Section 2.3. Intent; Savings Clause. It is the intention of the Depositor and the
Issuer that (i) the sale pursuant to Section 2.1 constitutes an absolute sale of the Second-Tier
Assets, including all monies paid thereon and all monies due thereon on or after the Cutoff Date,
conveying good title to the Second-Tier Assets free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted
Liens, from the Depositor to the Issuer and (ii) the Second-Tier Assets not be a part of the
Depositor’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor. If,
notwithstanding the intention of the Depositor and the Issuer, such sale is deemed to be a pledge
in connection with a financing or is otherwise deemed not to be a sale, the Depositor grants, and
the parties intend that the Depositor grants, to the Issuer a security interest in the Second-Tier
Assets and the performance by the Depositor of the obligation by the Depositor to pay to the Issuer
all amounts received with respect to the 2011-A Exchange Note, and in such event, this Agreement
