In consideration of CNHCR’s payment of $681,376,437.65 (the “Initial Case Purchase Price”) in the manner set out in Section 2.5(a), Case Credit does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHCR, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all of its right, title, interest and, with respect to any Contracts that are Leases, obligations in, to and under (collectively, the “Initial Case Assets”):

(i) the Case Purchased Contracts and the Case Owned Contracts, including all documents constituting chattel paper included therewith, and all obligations of the Obligors thereunder, including all moneys paid thereunder on or after the Initial Cutoff Date;

(ii) the security interests in the Financed Equipment granted by Obligors pursuant to the Case Purchased Contracts and the Case Owned Contracts and any other interest of Case Credit in such Financed Equipment;

(iii) any proceeds with respect to the Case Purchased Contracts and the Case Owned Contracts from claims on insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or Obligors;

(iv) any proceeds from recourse to Dealers with respect to the Case Purchased Contracts and the Case Owned Contracts other than any interest in the Dealers’ reserve accounts maintained with Case Credit;

(v) any Financed Equipment that shall have secured the Case Purchased Contracts and the Case Owned Contracts and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of CNHCR;

(vi) any True Lease Equipment that is subject to any Case Purchased Contract or any Case Owned Contract; and

(vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

Insofar as the grant above relates to Case Owned Contracts and related property, it is made for administrative convenience and is not intended to derogate from the prior conveyance of the Case Owned Contracts and related property pursuant to the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2.2. Conveyance of Subsequent Case Receivables. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1(b), in consideration of CNHCR’s delivery on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of Case Credit of the related Subsequent Case Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5, Case Credit does

hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHCR, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all of its right, title, interest and, with respect to any Contracts that are Leases, obligations in, to and under (collectively, the “Subsequent Case Assets”; and together with the Initial Case Assets, the “Case Assets”):

(i) the Subsequent Case Receivables listed on Schedule A to the related Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment, including all documents constituting chattel paper included therewith, and all obligations of the Obligors thereunder, including all moneys paid thereunder on or after the related Subsequent Cutoff Date;

(ii) the security interests in the Financed Equipment granted by Obligors pursuant to such Subsequent Case Receivables and any other interest of Case Credit in such Financed Equipment;

(iii) any proceeds with respect to such Subsequent Case Receivables from claims on insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or Obligors;

(iv) any proceeds with respect to such Subsequent Case Receivables from recourse to Dealers other than any interest in the Dealers’ reserve accounts maintained with Case Credit;

(v) any Financed Equipment that shall have secured any such Subsequent Case Receivable and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of CNHCR;

(vi) any True Lease Equipment that is subject to any Subsequent Case Receivable; and

(vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.3. Intention of the Parties. The parties to this Agreement intend that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by CNHCR and a sale by Case Credit of the Case Purchased Contracts and the Subsequent Case Receivables and any True Lease Equipment related to such Case Purchased Contracts or Subsequent Case Receivables, as the case may be, and not as a lending transaction, such that in the event of a filing of a petition for relief by or against Case Credit under the Bankruptcy Code, such Case Purchased Contracts, Subsequent Case Receivables and True Lease Equipment would not be property of Case Credit’s bankruptcy estate under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the bankruptcy court would not compel the turnover of such Case Purchased Contracts, Subsequent Case Receivables and True Lease Equipment or collections thereon by CNHCR to Case Credit under Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the bankruptcy court would determine that payments on such Case Purchased Contracts, Subsequent Case Receivables and True Lease

Equipment not in the possession of Case Credit would not be subject to the automatic stay provisions of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code imposed upon the commencement of Case Credit’s bankruptcy case. The foregoing sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance does not constitute, and is not intended to result in a creation or assumption by CNHCR of, any obligation or liability with respect to any Case Purchased Contract or any Subsequent Case Receivables, nor shall CNHCR be obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any obligation of Case Credit or any other Person in connection with the Case Purchased Contracts or the Subsequent Case Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any contract or any other obligation to any Obligor, except that CNHCR accepts any Contracts that are Leases subject to (and assumes) the covenants benefiting the Obligors under such Leases.

If (but only to the extent that) the transfer of the Case Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or other governmental authority as a loan rather than a sale, Case Credit shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to CNHCR a security interest in all of Case Credit’s right, title and interest in and to the Case Assets. Such security interest shall secure all of Case Credit’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent. CNHCR shall have, with respect to the property described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to CNHCR under this Agreement and applicable law, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

SECTION 2.4. The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Case Purchased Contracts shall take place at a closing at the offices of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP, 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closings under: (a) the NH Purchase Agreement, (b) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (c) the Trust Agreement, (d) the Administration Agreement and (e) the Indenture.

SECTION 2.5. Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a) Case Purchased Contracts. The Initial Case Purchase Price is payable as follows: (i) partially in cash on the Closing Date, and (ii) the remainder shall be deemed to have been paid by CNHCR to Case Credit and returned by Case Credit to CNHCR as a contribution to capital.

(b) Subsequent Case Receivables. As consideration for the conveyance of Subsequent Case Receivables pursuant to Section 2.2, CNHCR shall pay or cause to be paid to Case Credit on each Subsequent Transfer Date an amount (a “Subsequent Case Purchase Price”) equal to the aggregate Contract Value of the Subsequent Case Receivables as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, plus any

premium or minus any discount agreed upon by Case Credit and CNHCR. Any Subsequent Case Purchase Price shall be payable as follows: (i) cash in the amount released to CNHCR in respect of the Subsequent Case Receivables from the Pre-Funding Account pursuant to Section 5.8(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be paid to Case Credit on the related Subsequent Transfer Date; and (ii) the balance shall be paid in cash as and when amounts are released to, or otherwise realized by, CNHCR from the Spread Account, the Negative Carry Account, and the Principal Supplement Account in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or otherwise are available for such purpose.

SECTION 2.6. Cross-Collateralization. To the extent Case Credit retains any interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing the repayment of any Case Receivable, as a result of the related Obligor agreeing to cross-collateralize all obligations owed by such Obligor to Case Credit or otherwise, Case Credit acknowledges and agrees that its interest in the Financed Equipment shall be expressly subordinate and junior in priority to the repayment of all amounts outstanding under such Case Receivable prior to becoming available to pay any amount outstanding under any other obligation owed by such Obligor to Case Credit.

(b) Case Credit makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which CNHCR relies in accepting the Initial Receivables and the Subsequent Receivables and in transferring the Receivables to the Trust. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of the Subsequent Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to CNHCR and the subsequent assignment and transfer of such Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and pursuant to the Indenture:

(i) Characteristics of Case Receivables. Each Case Receivable: (A) (1) (i) was originated in the United States of America by a Dealer in connection with the retail sale or lease of Financed Equipment in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, and (ii) was purchased by Case Credit from a Dealer and validly assigned by such Dealer to Case Credit in accordance with its terms, or (2) was originated in the United States of America by Case Credit in connection with the financing or lease of Financed Equipment in the ordinary course of Case Credit’s business and, in either case, was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto, (B) has created a valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Case Credit (except to the extent that such security interest has been assigned by Case Credit to CNHCR, by CNHCR to the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee), except that (x) no security interest against the Obligor is created in True Lease Equipment, and (y) Case Credit makes no representation or warranty as to any such security interest granted by any Dealer to secure the Dealer’s obligations to make payments in respect of Termination Values, (C) contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security, and (D) (i) in the case of Retail Installment Contracts, provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate, and (ii) in the case of any Contracts sold, or to be sold, hereunder that are Leases, provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate, except that any Contracts sold, or to be sold, hereunder that are Leases also provide for payments of the related Termination Values.

(ii) Schedule of Case Receivables. The information set forth on Schedule A to the Case Assignment delivered on the Closing Date is true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and the information set forth on Schedule A to the related Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment will be true and correct on each Subsequent Transfer Date related to such Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment and no selection procedures believed by Case Credit to be adverse to the interests of the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders were or will be utilized in selecting the Case Receivables. The computer tape regarding the Case Receivables made available to CNHCR and its assigns is true and correct in all respects.

(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Case Receivable and the sale or lease of the related Financed Equipment complied in all material respects at the time it was originated or made and at the execution of this Agreement and each Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment complies in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations thereunder, including usury law, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection

Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations B and Z, the Wisconsin Consumer Act and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.

(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Case Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms.

(v) No Government Obligor. None of the Case Receivables is due from the United States of America or any state or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States of America or any state.

(vi) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Case Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Case Credit as secured party or all necessary and appropriate actions have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Case Credit as secured party, except that (A) no security interest against the Obligor is created in True Lease Equipment and (B) Case Credit makes no representation or warranty as to any security interest granted by any Dealer to secure the Dealer’s obligations to make payments in respect of Termination Values.

(vii) Case Receivables in Force. No Case Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Equipment been released from the Lien granted by the related Case Receivable in whole or in part.

(viii) No Amendment or Waiver. No provision of a Case Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except pursuant to a document, instrument or writing included in the Receivable Files and no such amendment, waiver, alteration or modification causes such Case Receivable not to conform to the other warranties contained in this Section.

(ix) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened or exists with respect to any Case Receivable.

(x) No Liens. To the best of Case Credit’s knowledge, no Liens or claims, including claims for work, labor or materials, relating to any of the Financed Equipment have been filed that are Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Equipment granted by any Case Receivable, except those pursuant to the Basic Documents.

(xi) No Default. No Case Receivable is a non-performing Receivable or has a payment that is more than 90 days overdue as of the Initial Cutoff Date or Subsequent Cutoff Date, as applicable, and, except for a payment default continuing for a period of not more than 90 days, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Case Receivable has occurred and is continuing; and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Case Receivable has arisen; and Case Credit has not waived and shall not waive any of the foregoing.

(xii) Title. It is the intention of Case Credit that the transfers and assignments contemplated herein and in the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the Case Receivables from Case Credit to CNHCR and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Case Receivables and any True Lease Equipment related to such Case Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Case Credit under any bankruptcy or similar law. No Case Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by Case Credit to any Person other than CNHCR. Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments contemplated herein and in the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, Case Credit had good title to each Case Receivable and any True Lease Equipment related to such Case Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, CNHCR shall have good title to each Case Receivable and any True Lease Equipment, free and clear of all Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the Case Receivables to CNHCR has been perfected under the UCC.

(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Case Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Case Receivable or any Case Receivable under this Agreement, the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.

(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give CNHCR a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Case Receivables will be made on or prior to the Closing Date.

(xv) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Case Receivable.

(xvi) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has a remaining term to maturity of not more than 72 months, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and 72 months, in the case of the Subsequent Receivables; the weighted average remaining term of the Initial Receivables is approximately 49.08 months as of the Initial Cutoff Date; the weighted average original term of the Receivables,

including as of each Subsequent Transfer Date all Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to CNHCR, will not be greater than 55 months.

(xvii) Scheduled Payments. No Receivable has a final scheduled payment date later than six months preceding the Final Scheduled Maturity Date; each Receivable provides for payments that fully amortize the Amount Financed over the original term of the Receivable, and is either a Precomputed Receivable or a Simple Interest Receivable.

(xviii) Insurance. The Obligor on each Case Receivable is required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Equipment and, in the case of any Lease, public liability insurance relating to the use of such Financed Equipment, in each case in accordance with Case Credit’s normal requirements.

(xix) Concentrations. (A) No Receivable has a Statistical Contract Value (when combined with the Statistical Contract Value of any other Receivable with the same or an Affiliated Obligor) that exceeds 1% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value.

(xx) Financing. Approximately 65.53% of the aggregate Statistical Contract Value of the Initial Receivables, were secured by or constitute Receivables of equipment that was new at the time the related Initial Receivable was originated; the remainder of the Initial Receivables represent financing or leases of used equipment; approximately 73.59% of the aggregate Statistical Contract Value of the Initial Receivables, represent financing or leases of agricultural equipment; the remainder of the Initial Receivables represent financing or leases of construction equipment. The aggregate Statistical Contract Value of the Receivables for the purposes of the above calculations as of the Initial Cutoff Date is $1,218,743,946.53. Additionally, not more than 35% of the aggregate Contract Value of the Receivables, including, as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, all Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to CNHCR, will represent Contracts for the financing or lease of construction equipment. No Subsequent Receivable will represent the financing of truck equipment.

(xxi) No Bankruptcies. No Obligor on any Case Receivable as of the Initial Cutoff Date or the Subsequent Cutoff Date, as applicable, was noted in the related Receivable File as being the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

(xxii) No Repossessions. None of the Financed Equipment securing any Case Receivable is in repossession status.

(xxiii) Chattel Paper. Each Case Receivable constitutes “chattel paper” as defined in the UCC of each State the law of which governs the perfection of the interest granted in it and/or the priority of such perfected interest.

(xxiv) U.S. Obligors. None of the Case Receivables is denominated and payable in any currency other than United States Dollars or is due from any Person that does not have a mailing address in the United States of America.

(xxv) Payment Frequency. As of the Initial Cutoff Date and as shown on the books of Case Credit: (A) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 42.41% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had annual scheduled payments, (B) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 3.38% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had semi-annual scheduled payments, (C) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 1.03% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had quarterly scheduled payments, (D) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 49.16% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had monthly scheduled payments, and (E) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 4.02% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had irregularly scheduled payments.

(xxvi) Interest Accruing. Each Case Receivable, other than those Case Receivables consisting of Contracts that contain interest waivers for a specified period of time, is, as of the Closing Date or a Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, accruing interest; no Case Receivable contains an interest waiver extending more than 12 months after the Initial Cutoff Date.

(xxvii) Leases. Each Lease included in the Initial Case Receivables or the Subsequent Case Receivables has a Termination Value less than or equal to 10% of the purchase price of the equipment subject to such Lease and is a “lease intended as security” (rather than a true lease) within the meaning of Section 1-201(37) of the UCC.

(xxviii) Case Credit’s Representations. The representations and warranties of Case Credit contained in Section 3.2(a) are true and correct.

CNHCR shall cooperate fully with Case Credit in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this paragraph.

(b) Name Change. Within 15 days after Case Credit makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure that would or could reasonably be expected to make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, Case Credit shall give CNHCR notice of any such change, and no later than five days after the effective date thereof, shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of CNHCR’s interest in the property included in the Trust Estate.

(c) Location Change.

SECTION 5.2. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder and pursuant to the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, Case Credit: (a) will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on, any interest in, to and under the Case

Receivables, and (b) shall defend the right, title and interest of CNHCR in, to and under the Case Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Case Credit; provided, however, that Case Credit’s obligations under this Section shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Case Credit shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CNHCR, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against such Person with respect to the sale of the Case Receivables to CNHCR hereunder or the sale of the Case Receivables to the Issuer by CNHCR or the issuance and original sale of the Certificates and the Notes, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of CNHCR and the Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to ownership of the Case Receivables on federal or other income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.

SECTION 5.6. Transfer of Subsequent Case Receivables. Case Credit covenants to transfer to CNHCR, pursuant to Section 2.2, Subsequent Case Receivables with an aggregate Contract Value approximately equal to $331,009,612.66 minus the aggregate Contract Value of any Receivables sold to CNHCR by NH Credit pursuant to Section 5.6 of the NH Purchase Agreement, subject only to the availability of such Subsequent Case Receivables.

SECTION 5.7. Cross-Collateralization. To the extent that Case Credit transfers, sells, assigns or otherwise pledges any contract to a third party and retains any interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing the repayment of any Case Receivable, as a result of the related Obligor agreeing to cross-collateralize all obligations owed by such Obligor to Case Credit and its assigns or otherwise, Case Credit acknowledges and agrees that it shall obtain from such third party an

agreement that such third party’s interest in the Financed Equipment shall be expressly subordinate and junior in priority to the repayment of all amounts outstanding under such Case Receivable prior to becoming available to pay any amount outstanding under any other obligation owed by such Obligor to such third party.

Schedule P

1. General.

2. General. The Case Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. Case Credit has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the Obligor in the Financed Equipment securing the Case Receivables.

3. Creation. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Case Receivables pursuant to the Case Purchase Agreement, Case Credit owns and has good and marketable title to, or has a valid security interest in, the Case Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

4. Perfection.
