Ford Credit made representations and warranties about the Receivables in Section 3.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and has consented to the sale by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Depositor’s rights to these representations and warranties.  Under Section 2.1, the Depositor has sold and assigned to the Issuer the Depositor’s rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right to require Ford Credit to repurchase any Receivables if there is a breach of Ford Credit’s representations and warranties.  In addition, the Depositor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that the representations and warranties about the Receivables in Section 3.3 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.  The Issuer is relying on Ford Credit’s representations and warranties in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and on the Depositor’s representations and warranties in this Section 2.4(a) in purchasing the Receivables, which representations and warranties will survive the sale and assignment of the Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer under this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.
