time their Euro Medium-Term Notes (the ""Notes'') in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 010,000,000,000 (or the
equivalent in other currencies). Ford Credit will unconditionally guarantee (as the ""Guarantor'') Notes issued by each of FC
Canada, FC Australia and PRIMUS Japan (each a ""Subsidiary'' and, together, the ""Subsidiaries''). The Notes will bear interest
at either Ñxed or Öoating rates. Notes issued by FC Canada will mature at least Ñve years and one day after the date of issue. The
currency of denomination, maturity date and issue price of a Note, together with the interest rate (if such Note is a Fixed Rate
Note), or the interest rate formula, as adjusted by any Spread and/or Spread Multiplier (if such Note is a Floating Rate Note),
will be established by the Issuer of the Note and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Interest on each Fixed Rate Note and Floating Rate Note will be payable on the dates set forth in the applicable Pricing
Supplement and at maturity.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933. The Notes will be issued
only in bearer form and are therefore subject to United States tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not
be oÅered, sold or delivered within the United States or to United States persons. The DeÑnitive Notes may not be oÅered or
sold, directly or indirectly, in the Commonwealth of Australia, its territories or possessions or to residents thereof, or to non-
residents thereof who have engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment within
Australia (including corporations or other entities organized under the laws thereof). An interest in a Global Note may not be
oÅered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Australia unless the oÅer or invitation does not require disclosure to investors in
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia. No Notes may be oÅered or sold, directly or indirectly, to an associate of
FC Australia. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and, where
the Issuer is PRIMUS Japan, are subject to the Special Taxation Measures Law of Japan. Notes will be represented initially by
interests in Temporary Global Notes to be delivered to a common depositary outside the United States for Euroclear and
Clearstream Luxembourg. Interests in such a Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a Permanent Global
Note no earlier than the 40th day after the completion of the distribution of Notes of the series to which such Temporary Global
Note relates upon certiÑcation in the form required by United States tax laws and, where the Issuer is FC Canada, upon
certiÑcation that such Notes are not beneÑcially owned by residents of Canada in contravention of the securities laws of Canada
or the applicable province or territory thereof. Interests in a Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable upon 45 days' notice for
DeÑnitive Notes with coupons attached. See ""Description of Notes and Guarantees''.
Payments on the Notes will be made without deduction for withholding taxes to the extent described herein. The Notes may
be redeemed if, at any time, certain withholding taxes are payable. In addition, the Notes may be redeemed or may be required to
be redeemed or purchased by the Guarantor (where applicable) if, at any time, certain certiÑcation, identiÑcation or information
reporting requirements are imposed. See ""Description of Notes and Guarantees''.
Application has been made to list the Notes issued under the program oÅered by this OÅering Circular on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange. However, the Issuers (other than FC Australia) may from time to time elect to issue Notes which will not be
listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other exchange.
The Notes are being oÅered on a continuing basis by the Issuers through the Agents, who have agreed to use their best
eÅorts to solicit purchases of such Notes. The Notes may also be sold to an Agent or other person, as principal, for resale or
other distribution. The Issuers reserve the right to sell the Notes directly to investors on their own behalf. There can be no
assurance that the Notes oÅered hereby will be sold or that there will be a secondary market for the Notes. The Issuers reserve
the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the oÅer made hereby without notice. Any Issuer or any Agent may reject any order in
whole or in part.
