BACKGROUND

The parties to this Agreement intend (a) to amend and restate the Back-up Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2009, among the parties, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and (b) to acknowledge the removal of Ford Credit Floorplan Master Owner Trust B as a party to this Agreement.

The Depositors, the Servicer and the Issuer have entered into two Sale and Servicing Agreements which provide for, among other things, the servicing of certain Receivables held by the Issuer.

The Depositors, the Servicer and the Issuer desire that the Back-up Servicer perform certain back-up servicing duties in accordance with this Agreement, and to assume the role of Successor Servicer if the Servicer is terminated under the Sale and Servicing Agreements.

The Back-up Servicer is willing to perform the back-up servicing duties specified in this Agreement and to assume the role of Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreements pursuant to the conditions described in the Sale and Servicing Agreements.

The parties agree as follows.

Each Appendix A also contains rules as to usage applicable to this Agreement. Each Appendix A is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

In addition, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Back-up Servicer” means Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association.

“Back-up Servicing Fee” means, for each Payment Date, the aggregate of the Monthly Back-up Servicing Fees for each Series, as specified in the related Indenture Supplement.

“Data Dictionary” means a data dictionary of the principal terms used in the Servicer’s source dealer floorplan finance receivables system, known as the “Dealer Finance” or “DF” system, that are required to perform the duties in Section 2.2(b) and to service the Receivables.

In no event will the Indenture Trustee be personally responsible for the payment of any Transition Costs.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, the Back-up Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its back-up servicing activities under this Agreement.
