ARTICLE II
ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS

Section 2.1. Description of Account. The Financial Institution has established the following accounts (each, a “Collateral Account”):

“Collection Account — The Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee, as secured party for Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2013-C” with account number 521766;

“Reserve Account — The Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee, as secured party for Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2013-C” with account number 521767; and

“Principal Payment Account — The Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee, as secured party for Ford Credit Auto Owner Trust 2013-C” with account number 521768.

Section 2.2. Account Modifications. Neither the Financial Institution nor the Grantor will change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

Section 2.3. Type of Account. The Financial Institution agrees that each Collateral Account is, and will be maintained as, either (a) a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC) or (b) a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).

Section 2.4. Securities Account Provisions. If and to the extent any Collateral Account is a securities account (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) the Financial Institution agrees that:

(a) all securities, financial assets or other investment property (other than cash) credited to each Collateral Account will be registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Financial Institution. In no case will any financial asset credited to any Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the order of the Grantor or specially indorsed to the Grantor unless the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank; and

(b) all financial assets delivered to the Financial Institution pursuant to the Indenture will be promptly credited to the appropriate Collateral Account; and each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security or instrument) credited to any Collateral Account will be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

ARTICLE III
SECURED PARTY CONTROL

Section 3.1. Control for Purposes of UCC. If the Financial Institution receives any order from the Secured Party or its authorized agent (a) directing disposition of funds in any Collateral Account or (b) directing transfer or redemption of the financial assets relating to the Collateral Accounts (a “Secured Party Order”), the Financial Institution will comply with the Secured Party Order without further consent by the Grantor or any other person.

Section 3.2. Conflicting Orders or Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time, the Financial Institution receives conflicting orders or instructions from the Secured Party and the Grantor, the Financial Institution will follow the orders or instructions of the Secured Party and not the Grantor. The Financial Institution will (a) have no obligation to investigate or inquire as to whether the Secured Party is entitled pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise to deliver any Secured Party Order and (b) be entitled to rely on communications (including Secured Party Orders) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and given by the appropriate party.

ARTICLE IV
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS IN THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS

Section 4.1. Investment of Funds. If (a) the Financial Institution has not otherwise received a Secured Party Order regarding the investment of funds held in the Collateral Accounts by 11:00 a.m. New York time (or such other time as may be agreed between the Financial Institution and the Grantor) on the Business Day preceding a Payment Date or (b) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes and the Indenture Trustee has provided notice of such continuing Default or Event of Default to the Financial Institution, the Financial Institution will, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in such Collateral Account in accordance with the last investment instruction received, which will be deemed to be effective with respect to such investment.

ARTICLE V
SUBORDINATION OF LIEN; WAIVER OF SET-OFF

Section 5.1. Subordination. If the Financial Institution has, or subsequently obtains, by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral Account (or any portion thereof), the Financial Institution agrees that such security interest will be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party.

Section 5.2. Set-off and Recoupment. The financial assets, money and other items credited to each Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, recoupment, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Secured Party. However, the Financial Institution may set off (a) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of each Collateral Account, (b) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to a Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds and (c) any advances made in connection with the settlement of any investment made with respect to the Collateral Accounts.

ARTICLE VI
OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1. Adverse Claim. Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Party and the Grantor, the Financial Institution does not know of any lien on, or claim to, or interest in, any Collateral Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC), cash or funds credited thereto.

Section 6.2. Correspondence, Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly deliver copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning any Collateral Account and, if applicable, any financial assets credited thereto, simultaneously to the Grantor and the Secured Party.

Section 6.3. Representation of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution represents that this Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution.

Section 6.4. Release of Financial Institution. The Grantor and the Secured Party agree that the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Grantor and the Secured Party arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the Financial Institution’s negligence. In no event will the Financial Institution be liable, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profit), even if the Financial Institution has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 6.5. Termination. The obligations of the Financial Institution to the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement will continue in effect until the security interests of the Secured Party in each Collateral Account have been terminated pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Secured Party has notified the Financial Institution of such termination in writing. The

obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement may be terminated (a) by the Financial Institution, if the Secured Party resigns or is removed as Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture or (b) by the Grantor, if the Financial Institution ceases to be a Qualified Institution; provided, that such termination will not be effective until the Collateral Accounts have been established with, and transferred to, another securities intermediary which has agreed to assume the obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement will not terminate any Collateral Account or alter the obligations of the Financial Institution to the Grantor pursuant to any other agreement with respect to any Collateral Account.

Section 6.6. Existence of Other Agreements. The Financial Institution confirms and agrees that:

(a) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor with respect to any Collateral Account other than the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents;

(b) The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to any Collateral Account pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other person; and

(c) The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with entitlement orders or instructions.

Section 6.7. Notice. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Collateral Account (or in any financial asset, cash or funds carried therein), the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party.
