CNHCR's payment of $262,971,327.86 (the "INITIAL NH PURCHASE PRICE") in the
manner set out in SECTION 2.5(a), NH Credit does hereby sell, transfer, assign,
set over and otherwise convey to CNHCR, without recourse (subject to the

Contracts that are Leases, obligations in, to and under (collectively, the
"INITIAL NH ASSETS"):
(i) the NH PURCHASED 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;
2
(ii) the security interests in the Financed Equipment granted by
Obligors pursuant to the NH Purchased Contracts and any other interest of
NH Credit in such Financed Equipment;
(iii) any proceeds with respect to the NH Purchased Contracts from
claims on insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or Obligors;
(iv) any proceeds from recourse to Dealers with respect to the NH
Purchased Contracts other than any interest in the Dealers' reserve
accounts maintained with NH Credit;
(v) any Financed Equipment that shall have secured the NH Purchased
Contracts and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of CNHCR;
(vi) any True Lease Equipment that is subject to any NH Purchased
Contract; and
(vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
SECTION 2.2 CONVEYANCE OF SUBSEQUENT NH 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 NH Credit of the
related Subsequent NH Purchase Price pursuant to SECTION 2.5, NH 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 NH ASSETS"; and together with the Initial NH
Assets, the "NH ASSETS"):
(i) the Subsequent NH Receivables listed on Schedule A to the related
NH 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

of NH Credit in such Financed Equipment;
(iii) any proceeds with respect to such Subsequent NH Receivables from
claims on insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or Obligors;
(iv) any proceeds with respect to such Subsequent NH Receivables from
recourse to Dealers other than any interest in the Dealers' reserve

(v) any Financed Equipment that shall have secured any such Subsequent
NH Receivable and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of CNHCR;
(vi) any True Lease Equipment that is subject to any Subsequent NH
Receivable; and
3
(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 NH Credit of the NH Purchased Contracts and the
Subsequent NH Receivables and any True Lease Equipment, in each case, related
thereto, as the case may be, and not as a lending transaction, so that in the
event of a filing of a petition for relief by or against NH Credit under the
Bankruptcy Code, (i) such NH Purchased Contracts, Subsequent NH Receivables and
True Lease Equipment would not be property of NH Credit's bankruptcy estate
under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the bankruptcy court would not
compel the turnover of such NH Purchased Contracts, Subsequent NH Receivables
and True Lease Equipment by CNHCR to NH Credit under Section 542 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the bankruptcy court would determine that payments on
the NH Purchased Contracts, Subsequent NH Receivables and True Lease Equipment
not in the possession of NH Credit would not be subject to the automatic stay
provisions of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code imposed upon the
commencement of NH 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 NH Purchased Contract or any Subsequent NH Receivable, nor shall CNHCR be
obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any obligation of NH Credit
or any other Person in connection with the NH Purchased Contracts or the
Subsequent NH 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 NH Assets hereunder is
characterized by a court or other governmental authority as a loan rather than a
sale, NH Credit shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to CNHCR a security
interest in all of NH Credit's right, title and interest in and to the NH
Assets. Such security interest shall secure all of NH 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 NH 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 Case 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) NH PURCHASED CONTRACTS. The Initial NH Purchase Price is payable as
$262,971,327.86 in cash on the Closing Date.
4
(b) SUBSEQUENT NH RECEIVABLES. As consideration for the conveyance of
Subsequent NH Receivables pursuant to SECTION 2.2, CNHCR shall pay or cause to
be paid to NH Credit on each Subsequent Transfer Date an amount (a "SUBSEQUENT
NH PURCHASE PRICE") equal to the aggregate Contract Value of the Subsequent NH
Receivables as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, plus any premium or minus
any discount agreed upon by NH Credit and CNHCR. Any Subsequent NH Purchase
Price shall be payable as follows: (i) cash in the amount released to CNHCR in
respect of the Subsequent NH Receivables from the Pre-Funding Account pursuant
to Section 5.8(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be paid to NH 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 NH Credit retains any
interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing the repayment of any NH
Receivable, as a result of the related Obligor agreeing to cross-collateralize
all obligations owed by such Obligor to NH Credit or otherwise, NH 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 NH Receivable prior to becoming available to pay any
amount outstanding under any other obligation owed by such Obligor to NH Credit.

(b) NH Credit makes the following representations and warranties as to the

delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the case of the
Initial NH Receivables, and as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, in
the case of the Subsequent NH Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer
and assignment of the NH Receivables to CNHCR and the subsequent assignment and
transfer of such NH Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and pursuant to the Indenture:
(i) CHARACTERISTICS OF NH RECEIVABLES. Each NH 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 NH Credit from a
Dealer and validly assigned by such Dealer to NH Credit in accordance with
its terms, or (2) was originated in the United States of America by NH
Credit in connection with the financing or lease of Financed Equipment in
the ordinary course of NH 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 NH Credit (except to the extent that such security
interest has been assigned by NH 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) NH
Credit makes no representation or warranty as to any such security interest
granted by any Dealer to
7
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 NH RECEIVABLES. The information set forth on Schedule
A to the NH 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 NH
Subsequent Transfer Assignment will be true and correct on each Subsequent
Transfer Date related to such NH Subsequent Transfer Assignment and no
selection procedures believed by NH Credit to be adverse to the interests
of the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders were or will be
utilized in selecting the NH Receivables. The computer tape regarding the
NH Receivables made available to CNHCR and its assigns is true and correct
in all respects.
(iii) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each NH 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 NH 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, 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 NH 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 NH 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 NH Receivable shall be secured
by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed
Equipment in favor of NH 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 NH Credit as secured party, except that (A) no security
interest against the Obligor is created in True Lease Equipment and (B) NH
Credit makes no
8
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) NH RECEIVABLES IN FORCE. No NH Receivable has been satisfied,
subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Equipment been released
from the Lien granted by the related NH Receivable in whole or in part.
(viii) NO AMENDMENT OR WAIVER. No provision of a NH 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 NH
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 NH
Receivable.
(x) NO LIENS. To the best of NH 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 NH Receivable, except those pursuant to the Basic Documents.
(xi) NO DEFAULT. No NH 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
NH 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
NH Receivable has arisen; and NH Credit has not waived and shall not waive
any of the foregoing.
(xii) TITLE. It is the intention of NH Credit that the transfers and
assignments contemplated herein and in the NH Liquidity Receivables
Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the NH Receivables from NH Credit
to CNHCR and that the beneficial interest in and title to the NH
Receivables and any True Lease Equipment related to such NH Receivables not
be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against NH Credit under any bankruptcy or similar law. No NH
Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by NH Credit to
any Person other than CNHCR. Immediately prior to the transfers and
assignments contemplated herein and in the NH Liquidity Receivables
Purchase Agreement, NH Credit had good title to each NH Receivable and any
True Lease Equipment related to such NH Receivable, free and clear of all
Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, CNHCR shall have good
title to each NH Receivable and any True Lease Equipment, free and clear of
all Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the NH Receivables to CNHCR
has been perfected under the UCC.
9
(xiii) LAWFUL ASSIGNMENT. No NH Receivable has been originated in, or
is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer
and assignment of such NH Receivable or any NH Receivable under this
Agreement, the NH 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 NH Receivables will be made on or prior to the Closing
Date.
(xv) ONE ORIGINAL. There is only one original executed copy of each NH
Receivable.
(xvi) INSURANCE. The Obligor on each NH 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 NH Credit's normal
requirements.
(xvii) NO BANKRUPTCIES. No Obligor on any NH 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.
(xviii) NO REPOSSESSIONS. None of the Financed Equipment securing any
NH Receivable is in repossession status.
(xix) CHATTEL PAPER. Each NH Receivable constitutes tangible "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.
(xx) U.S. OBLIGORS. None of the NH 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.
(xxi) INTEREST ACCRUING. Each NH Receivable, other than those NH
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 NH Receivable contains
an interest waiver extending more than 12 months after the Initial Cutoff
Date.
(xxii) LEASES. Each Lease included in the Initial NH Receivables or
the Subsequent NH 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.
(xxiii) NH CREDIT'S REPRESENTATIONS. The representations and
warranties of NH Credit contained in SECTION 3.2(a) are true and correct.
10
(xxiv) NH CREDIT'S OBLIGATIONS. NH Credit has no obligations under any
Contract, other than the covenant of quiet enjoyment benefiting the
Obligors under any Contracts that are Leases.
(xxv) NO EITHER/OR LEASES. No Lease included in the Initial NH
Receivables or the Subsequent NH Receivables is an Either/or Lease, and no
Financed Equipment transferred to CNHCR on the Closing Date or any
Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be, constitutes True Lease

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF NH CREDIT
NH Credit agrees with CNHCR as follows; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the
extent that any provision of this Article conflicts with any provision of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall govern:
SECTION 5.1 PROTECTION OF RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST.
(a) FILINGS. NH Credit shall cause all financing statements and
continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right,
title and interest of CNHCR in and to the NH Receivables and the other property
included in the Trust Estate to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept
recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be
required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of
CNHCR hereunder to the NH Receivables and the other property sold hereunder. It
is understood and agreed, however, that no filings will be made to perfect any
security interest of CNHCR in NH Credit's interests in Financed Equipment. NH
Credit shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to CNHCR file-stamped copies of,
or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided
above as soon as available following such recordation, registration or filing.
CNHCR shall cooperate fully with NH 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 NH Credit makes any change in its
name, identity or limited liability company structure that would, could or might
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, NH 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. Within 15 days after NH Credit makes any change to
its "location" as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC, NH 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.
SECTION 5.2 OTHER LIENS OR INTERESTS. Except for the conveyances hereunder
and pursuant to the NH Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, NH 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
NH Receivables, and (b) shall defend the right, title and interest of CNHCR in,
to and under the NH Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming
through or under NH Credit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that NH Credit's obligations
under this Section shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to
the Trust Agreement.
14
SECTION 5.3 JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION. During the term of the NH
Receivables, NH Credit will maintain its "location" (as defined in Section 9-307
of the UCC) in one of the States.
SECTION 5.4 COSTS AND EXPENSES. NH Credit agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection, as against all third
parties, of CNHCR's right, title and interest in, to and under the NH
Receivables.
SECTION 5.5 INDEMNIFICATION. NH Credit shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless CNHCR for any liability as a result of the failure of a NH Receivable
to be originated in compliance with all requirements of law and for any breach
of any of its representations and warranties contained herein. These indemnity
obligations shall be in addition to any obligation that NH Credit may otherwise
have. NH 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 NH Receivables to
CNHCR hereunder or the sale of the NH 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 NH Receivables or
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 NH RECEIVABLES. NH Credit covenants to
transfer to CNHCR, pursuant to SECTION 2.2, Subsequent NH Receivables with an
aggregate Contract Value approximately equal to $485,601,546.66 minus the
aggregate Contract Value of any Receivables sold to CNHCR by Case Credit
pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Case Purchase Agreement, subject only to the
availability of such Subsequent NH Receivables.
SECTION 5.7 CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. To the extent that NH Credit
transfers, sells, assigns or otherwise pledges any contract to a third party and
such third party retains any interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing
the repayment of any NH Receivable, as a result of the related Obligor agreeing
to cross-collateralize all obligations owed by such Obligor to NH Credit and its
assigns or otherwise, NH 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 NH Receivable prior to becoming
available to pay any amount outstanding under any other obligation owed by such
Obligor to such third party.

CNHCR for the benefit of CNHCR, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the

shall constitute events obligating NH Credit to repurchase any NH Receivable
materially and adversely affected by any such breach ("REPURCHASE EVENTS") at
the Purchase Amount from CNHCR or from the Trust. Except as set forth in SECTION

interest in, to and under such NH Receivables, and all security and documents
relating thereto.

Certificateholders, the Counterparties and the Noteholders. NH Credit hereby
consents to all such sales and assignments and agrees that enforcement of a
right or remedy hereunder by the Indenture Trustee shall have the same force and
effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by CNHCR.

with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, by a written amendment duly
executed and delivered by NH Credit and CNHCR, without the consent of the

this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or
the Certificateholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such amendment will not, in the
Opinion of Counsel, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by NH Credit and
CNHCR, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the written
consent of (x) Noteholders holding Notes evidencing at least a majority of the

SCHEDULE P
1. GENERAL. The NH Purchase Agreement creates, or with respect to the NH
Receivables that are Subsequent Receivables upon the transfer of such Subsequent
Receivables pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer Assignment will create, a valid
and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the NH
Receivables in favor of CNHCR, which, (a) is enforceable upon execution of the
NH Purchase Agreement against creditors of and purchasers from NH Credit, as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable debtor relief laws, now or
hereafter in effect, and by general principles of equity (whether considered in
a suit at law or in equity), and (b) upon filing of the financing statements
described in clause 4 below will be prior to all other Liens (other than Liens
permitted pursuant to clause 5 below).
2. GENERAL. The NH Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper" within
the meaning of UCC Section 9-102. NH Credit has taken all steps necessary to
perfect its security interest against the Obligor in the Financed Equipment
securing the NH Receivables.
3. CREATION. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the NH Receivables
pursuant to the NH Purchase Agreement, NH Credit owns and has good and
marketable title to, or has a valid security interest in, the NH Receivables
free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
4. PERFECTION. NH Credit has caused or will have caused, within ten days
of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the
proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in
order to perfect the security interest granted to CNHCR under the NH Purchase
Agreement in the NH Receivables. With respect to the NH Receivables that
constitute tangible chattel paper, NH Credit has in its possession the original
copies of such tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the NH
Receivables, and NH Credit has caused, or will have caused within ten days of
the effective date of the NH Agreement, the filing of financing statements
against NH Credit in favor of CNHCR in connection herewith describing such NH
Receivables and containing a statement that: "A purchase of or security interest
in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights
of the Secured Party/Buyer."
5. PRIORITY. Other than the security interests granted to CNHCR pursuant
to the NH Purchase Agreement and the NH Liquidity Receivables Purchase
Agreement, NH Credit has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the NH Receivables. NH Credit has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against NH
Credit that include a description of collateral covering the NH Receivables
other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interests
granted to CNHCR under the NH Purchase Agreement and the NH Liquidity
Receivables Purchase Agreement, (ii) that has been terminated, or (iii) that has
been granted pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents. None of the tangible
chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the NH Receivables has any marks or
notations indicating that they have pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to
any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.
