(g) Controlled Accumulation Period. The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to start on the first day of the November 2020 Collection Period. However, if the Accumulation Period Length is less than six Collection Periods, the date the Controlled Accumulation Period actually starts will be delayed to the first day of the Collection Period that is the number of Collection Periods before the Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation Period Length.

Section 4.6. Shared Principal Collections. On each Payment Date, Series 2018-1 will be allocated an amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate amount of Shared Principal Collections for all Principal Sharing Series in Principal Sharing Group One for that Payment Date, times (b) a fraction with a numerator equal to the Principal Shortfall for Series 2018-1 for that Payment Date and a denominator equal to the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Principal Sharing Series in Principal Sharing Group One for that Payment Date.

Following the payment in full of the Series 2018-1 Notes and the release of the Series 2018-1 Accounts from the Lien of this Indenture Supplement, the Series 2018-1 Accounts will be under the control of the Issuer.

(c) Benefit of Accounts; Deposits and Withdrawals. The Series 2018-1 Accounts and all cash, money, securities, investments, financial assets and other property deposited in or credited to them will be held by the Indenture Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the 2018-1 Secured Parties and, after payment in full of the Series 2018-1 Notes and the release of the Series 2018-1 Accounts from the Lien of this Indenture Supplement, as agent of the Issuer and as part of the Trust Property.

Account for distribution to the holders of the Depositor Interest according to the Trust Agreement.

Section 4.8. Investment of Funds in Series 2018-1 Accounts.

If no prior investment instructions have been received or if the instructed investments are no longer available or permitted, the Indenture Trustee will notify the Servicer and request new investment instructions, and the funds will remain uninvested until new investment instructions are received. The Servicer may direct the Indenture Trustee to consent, vote, waive or take any other action, or not to take any action, on any matters available to the holder of the Permitted Investments.

(b) Maturity of Investments.

Any Permitted Investments with a maturity date will be held to their maturity, except that such Permitted Investments may be sold or disposed of before their maturity (i) if they relate to funds in the Reserve Account required to make payments under Section 4.2(b)(iii) or (ii) in connection with the sale or liquidation of the Collateral following an Event of Default under Section 5.6 of the Indenture.

(d) Continuation of Liens in Investments. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Series 2018-1 Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in the account in favor of the Indenture Trustee will continue to be perfected in the investment or the proceeds of the sale, in each case, without any further action by any Person.

However, if the Depositors fail to deposit the amount of the increase in the Series 2018-1 Reserve Account on or before the Payment Date of that Subordination Step-up Period, the Subordination Factor will automatically increase according to the definition of Subordination Factor.

(c) Release of Funds in Reserve Account.

Section 4.11. Calculation Agent.

(a) Appointment. The Issuer agrees that for so long as the Floating Rate Notes are Outstanding there will be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the “Calculation Agent”).

Either Depositor fails (i) to make any payment or deposit required to be made under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement on or before the date occurring five Business Days after the date the payment or deposit is required to be made or (ii) to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of that Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement that has an Adverse Effect and continues for 60 days after the Depositor receives notice from the Indenture Trustee of the failure, requiring it to be corrected, and the failure continues to have an Adverse Effect for that 60-day period;

(b) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by either Depositor in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement, or any information contained in a computer file or other list required to be delivered by that Depositor under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered and has an Adverse Effect, which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for 60 days after the Depositor receives notice from the Indenture Trustee of the failure, requiring it to be corrected, and the failure continues to have an Adverse Effect for that 60-day period. However, a Series 2018-1 Amortization Event under this subsection (b) will be considered corrected if that Depositor has accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all those Receivables, if applicable, during that period according to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement;

(d) Expected Final Payment Date. The Note Balance of the Series 2018-1 Notes is not paid in full on the Expected Final Payment Date;

(e) Monthly Principal Payment Rate. The average of the Monthly Principal Payment Rates for the three prior Collection Periods is less than 21%;

(f) Required Subordinated Amount. On any Determination Date, the Available Subordinated Amount for the next Payment Date will be less than the Required Subordinated Amount after giving effect to any payments to be made on that Payment Date, and continues unremedied for five Business Days after that Payment Date. For the purpose of determining whether a Series 2018-1 Amortization Event has occurred under this subsection (f), any reduction of the Available Subordinated Amount resulting from reallocations of the Available Depositor Principal Collections to pay interest on the Series 2018-1 Notes if LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate on which interest on the receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date will be considered a Series 2018-1 Amortization Event only if LIBOR remains equal to or greater than the prime rate for the next 30 consecutive days following that LIBOR Determination Date;

(g) Excess Funding Account. The amounts in the Excess Funding Account exceed 30% of the sum of the “Adjusted Invested Amounts” of all Series for three consecutive Collection Periods, after giving effect to any payments to be made on each related Payment Date; or

(h) Acceleration of Series 2018-1 Notes. An Event of Default for Series 2018-1 occurs and the Series 2018-1 Notes are accelerated under Section 5.2 of the Indenture.

If an event described in subsections (a) through (c) above occurs and is continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2018-1 Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Series 2018-1 Notes by notifying the Depositors and the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Series 2018-1 Noteholders) may declare that an Amortization Event for the Series 2018-1 Notes (a “Series 2018-1 Amortization Event”) has occurred. If an event described in subsections (d) through (h) above occurs, a Series 2018-1 Amortization Event will occur

immediately without any notice or other action by the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2018-1 Noteholders.

If the Collateral allocable to Series 2018-1 is liquidated under Section 5.6(c) of the Indenture, the proceeds from the liquidation will be paid to the Series 2018-1 Noteholders on the first Payment Date after the Collection Period in which the liquidation occurs. If the Indenture Trustee has received the Monthly Investor Report by the related Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee will (based on the information in the Monthly Investor Report) make payments or distributions of the Reassignment Amount or the proceeds from any liquidation of Collateral allocable to Series 2018-1 under Section 5.6(c) of the Indenture according to Section 4.2 on the related Payment Date.

(b) Payment in Full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture Supplement, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreements, (i) all amounts distributed to the Note Paying Agent under Section 7.1(a) for payment to the Series 2018-1 Noteholders will be considered paid in full to the Series 2018-1 Noteholders on the date the funds are distributed to the Note Paying Agent under this Section 7.1(b) and will be considered to be a final payment of the Series 2018-1 Notes and (ii) if the amounts available for final payment to the Series 2018-1 Noteholders and to the Noteholders of any other Series on any Payment Date are less than the amount required to be so paid, the available amounts will be allocated to each Series based on the respective amounts required to be paid to each Series on that Payment Date.

Except as stated in the Series Agreement for a final payment, payments to the Noteholders will be made (a) (i) if the Noteholder has given the Note Registrar appropriate instructions at least five Business Days before that Payment Date and the aggregate original principal amount of the Noteholder’s Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer to the account of the Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder (at the Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register), except that for any Notes registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, the distribution will be made by wire transfer and (b) without presentation or surrender of any Note or the making of any notation on the Note. Final payment of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note will be made only on presentation and surrender of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note at the office or agency stated in the notice of final payment delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders according to the Series Agreement.

This Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, Ford Credit Floorplan Corporation or Ford Credit Floorplan LLC (the “Depositors”), Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, Ford Motor Company or any Affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, covenants and agrees that it will not at any time start or pursue against the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in starting or pursuing against the Issuer or the Depositors, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Except as stated in the Indenture Supplement, the Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note will be registered in the Note Register on surrender of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Note Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Noteholder or the Noteholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with the signature guaranteed, and on surrender one or more new Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

EA-6

As stated in the Series Agreement and subject to certain limitations forth in the Series Agreement, Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes are exchangeable for new Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, on surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Note Registrar. No service charge may be imposed for the exchange but the Issuer or Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the exchange.

The Issuer, the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors or the Indenture Trustee will treat the person in whose name this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note is registered as the owner of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Depositors, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the Depositors or the Indenture Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.

The holder of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, and the owner of an interest or participation in this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, by its acceptance of an interest or participation, covenant and agree that (a) they will not at any time start or pursue against the Issuer or the Depositors, or join in starting or pursuing against the Issuer or the Depositors, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or any of the other related transaction documents and (b) if any Depositor becomes a debtor or debtor in possession in a case under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or later in effect or subject to any insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, rehabilitation or other similar proceedings, any claim that the holders of the Notes of any Series may have at any time against the Issuer’s assets allocated according to the Indenture to any Series unrelated to the Notes, and any claim that the holders of the Notes have at any time against the Depositors that they may seek to enforce against the Issuer’s assets allocated to any unrelated Series, will be subordinate to the payment in full (including post-petition interest) of the claims of the holders of any Notes of the unrelated Series and of the holders of any other notes, bonds, contracts or other obligations relating to the unrelated Series.

The holder of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, by acceptance of this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, and each holder of an interest or participation in this Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Note, agree to treat the Class [A-[ ]/B/C/D] Notes as indebtedness of the Issuer for applicable United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

THIS CLASS [A-[ ]/B/C/D] NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
