The assets of the Trust include, among other things, a pool of retail installment sale contracts (the “Receivables”) secured by new or used agricultural or construction equipment and the related security interests in the equipment financed thereby. The Receivables were sold to the Trust by
the Seller. The Receivables are serviced for the Trust by Case Credit Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Case Credit”). Case Credit has appointed Systems & Services Technologies, Inc. (“SST”) to act as backup servicer of Receivables pursuant to the Backup Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2004 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Backup Servicing Agreement”) among the Seller, Case Credit, the Trust, SST as backup servicer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture to be dated as of September 1, 2004 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.
Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Notes as contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust will issue 3.31% Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificates”) in an amount of $26,250,000 to the Seller. The Notes and the Certificates are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.”
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of September 1, 2004 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Trust, the Seller and Case Credit, as servicer, or, if not defined therein, in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
2. Representations and Warranties. The Seller, and with respect to items (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (o), (p), (q), (r) and (s) as they relate to Case Credit and/or New Holland, Case Credit, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
(a) The Seller meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (Registration No. 333-98887) on such Form, including a preliminary basic prospectus and a preliminary prospectus supplement for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. The Seller may have filed one or more amendments thereto as may have been required to the date hereof, each of which amendments has been previously furnished to you. The Seller will next file with the Commission one of the following: (i) prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement, an amendment thereto (including the form of final basic prospectus and the form of final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities), (ii) after effectiveness of such registration statement, a final basic prospectus and a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rules 430A and 424(b)(1) or (4) under the Act, or (iii) after the effectiveness of such registration statement, a final basic prospectus and a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rules 415 and 424(b)(2) or (5). In the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), the Seller has included in such registration statements, as amended at the Effective Date, all information (other than Rule 430A Information) required by the Act and the Rules thereunder to be included in the Prospectus with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof. As filed, such amendment and form of final prospectus supplement, or such final prospectus supplement, shall include all Rule 430A Information, together with all other such required information with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof and, except to the extent that the Underwriters shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the latest preliminary basic prospectus and preliminary prospectus supplement that have previously been furnished to
2
you) as the Seller has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. If the Registration Statement contains the undertaking specified by Regulation S-K Item 512(a), the Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).

Such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Time, including all information deemed to be a part of such registration statement as of the Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430A(b) under the Act, and including the exhibits thereto and any material incorporated by reference therein, are hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” “Basic Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus referred to above contained in the Registration Statement at the Effective Date including any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as most recently revised or amended and filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 429. “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement” shall mean any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Basic Prospectus which describes the Securities and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus. “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities that is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the Execution Time, together with the Basic Prospectus or, if no filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) is required, shall mean the prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, including the Basic Prospectus, included in the Registration Statement at the Effective Date. “Rule 430A Information” means information with respect to the Securities and the offering of the Securities permitted to be omitted from the Registration Statement when it becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A. “Rule 415”, “Rule 424”, “Rule 430A” and “Regulation S-K” refer to such rules or regulations under the Act. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, such Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
(b) On the Effective Date and on the date of this Agreement, the Registration Statement did or will, and, when the Prospectus is first filed (if required) in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined below), the Prospectus (and any supplements thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the respective rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”); on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and, on the Effective Date, the Prospectus, if not filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), did not or will not, and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b)
3
and on the Closing Date, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Seller by any Underwriter through you specifically for use in connection with preparation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being agreed that the only such information consists of the statements in the second and sixth paragraphs (concerning initial offering prices, concessions and reallowances) and in the fourth and eighth paragraphs (concerning overallotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids) under the heading “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement (such information, the “Underwriter Information”).

Subject to the foregoing sentence, if the Registration Statement has become or becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Seller will file the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to you of such timely filing.

7
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and the Seller will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting of any issued stop order.
(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Seller promptly will notify you and will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission, or effect such compliance. Any such filing shall not operate as a waiver or limitation on any right of any Underwriter hereunder.
(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than fourteen months after the original effective date of the Registration Statement, the Seller will cause the Trust to make generally available to Noteholders an earnings statement of the Trust covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

(h) So long as any of the Notes is outstanding, the Seller will furnish to you (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year all documents required to be distributed to Noteholders or filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any order of the Commission thereunder and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning the Seller filed with any government or regulatory authority which is otherwise publicly available, as you may reasonably request.
(i) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the computer records of the Seller, Case Credit and New Holland relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust’s absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date none of the
8
Seller, Case Credit or New Holland shall take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(j) To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to the Notes by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate the Notes are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Seller, the Seller shall furnish such documents and take any such other actions.
(k) For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending seven days after the Closing Date, unless waived by the Underwriters, none of the Seller, Case Credit or any trust originated, directly or indirectly, by the Seller or Case Credit will offer to sell or sell notes (other than the Notes and commercial paper notes offered pursuant to Case Credit’s existing asset-backed commercial paper program) collateralized by, or certificates (other than the Certificates) evidencing an ownership interest in, receivables generated pursuant to retail agricultural or construction equipment installment sale contracts.

(iv) The Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Case Purchase Agreement, the NH Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller, and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Seller and Case Credit.
(vi) The Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Case Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement and the Administration Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Case Credit and are legal, valid and binding obligations of Case Credit enforceable against Case Credit in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, as applicable, by Case Credit and the Seller, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Case Credit or the Seller or any material agreement or instrument known to such counsel after due inquiry to which Case Credit or the Seller is a party or by which Case Credit or the Seller is bound or to which any of the properties of Case Credit or the Seller is subject.
11
(viii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, as applicable, by Case Credit and the Seller, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not violate any statute, rule or regulation or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over Case Credit or the Seller or any of their properties.
(ix) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, threatened before any court, administrative agency, or other tribunal (1) asserting the invalidity of the Trust or any of the Basic Documents, (2) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Basic Documents or the execution and delivery thereof, or (3) that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by Case Credit or the Seller, as applicable, of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Basic Documents.
(x) Each of the Case Assignment dated as of the Closing Date from Case Credit to the Seller and the assignments of Case Receivables from Case Credit to the Seller pursuant to the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Case Credit.
(xi) Immediately prior to the transfer of the Receivables to the Trust, the Seller’s interest in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing was perfected upon the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and constituted a perfected first priority interest therein. If a court concludes that the transfer of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust is a sale, the interest of the Trust in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing will be perfected upon the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and will constitute a first priority perfected interest therein. If a court concludes that such transfer is not a sale, the Sale and Servicing Agreement constitutes a grant by the Seller to the Trust of a valid security interest in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing, which security interest will be perfected upon the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of the UCC financing statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware referred to above and will constitute a first priority perfected security interest therein. No filing or other action, other than the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of the UCC financing statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware referred to above, is necessary to perfect and maintain the interest or the security interest of the Trust in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing against third parties.
(xii) Assuming that Case Credit’s standard procedures have been followed with respect to the creation of the Case Receivables, Case Credit obtains from each Dealer either an absolute ownership interest or a security interest in the Case Receivables originated by that Dealer, which ownership or security interest (whichever it may be) is perfected and prior to any other interests that may be perfected only by possession of a Case Receivable or the filing of a financing statement in accordance with the UCC. Assuming that Case Credit’s standard procedures with respect to the perfection of a security interest in the equipment financed by Case Credit pursuant to retail agricultural, construction or other equipment installment sale contracts in the ordinary course of Case Credit’s business have been followed with respect to the
12
perfection of security interests in the Financed Equipment, Case Credit has acquired either a perfected security interest in the Financed Equipment or a perfected security interest in the Case Receivables, which indirectly provides Case Credit with a security interest in the Financed Equipment that is perfected as against the obligor’s creditors; provided, however, that such opinion need not address any equipment that is subject to a certificate of title statute.
(xiii) The Indenture constitutes a grant by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee, acting under the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, of a valid security interest in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York (the “NYUCC”). Under the NYUCC, the internal laws of the State of Delaware govern perfection by filing of financing statements of the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Estate as against the Trust.
(xiv) The security interest granted under the Indenture will be perfected upon the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State and will constitute a first priority perfected security interest therein. No filing or other action, other than the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of the UCC financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State referred to above, is necessary to perfect and maintain the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing against third parties.
(xv) The Receivables are chattel paper as defined in the NYUCC.
(xvi) The Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the Purchase Agreements and the Backup Servicing Agreement conform in all material respects with the description thereof contained in the Prospectus and any supplement thereto.
(xvii) The statements in the Basic Prospectus under the headings “Risk Factors—Possible liability for third party claims may cause payment delays or losses” and “Legal Aspects of the Receivables”, to the extent they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects.
(xviii) The statements contained in the Basic Prospectus and any supplement thereto under the headings “Description of the Notes”, “Description of the Certificates”, “Administrative Information About the Securities” and “Description of the Transaction Agreements” and in the Prospectus Supplement under the headings “Description of Notes”, “Description of the Certificates”, “Description of the Transaction Agreements” and “The Interest Rate Swap Agreements”, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the Notes, the Certificates, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the Trust Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement, fairly present the matters referred to therein.
(xix) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements or the Basic Documents, except such as are required and have been obtained and made under the Securities Act and such as may be required under state securities laws (it being understood that this opinion will be given
13
only with respect to such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and filings that, in such counsel’s experience, are customarily applicable in transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements and the Basic Documents).
(xx) The Trust Agreement is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and the Trust is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
(xxi) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
(xxii) The Seller is not, and will not as a result of the offer and sale of the Notes as contemplated in the Prospectus and this Agreement or as a result of the issuance of the Certificates become, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act or a company “controlled by” an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
(xxiii) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, any required filing of the Basic Prospectus, any preliminary Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and any supplements thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) have been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b), and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act; and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Registration Statement) and as of their respective issue dates (in the case of the Prospectus and each supplement thereto), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations.
(xxiv) The Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the Administration Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized and, when duly executed and delivered by the Trustee, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
The negative assurance letter of counsel to Case Credit and the Seller shall also state that such counsel has examined various documents and participated in conferences with representatives of Case Credit, the Seller, their counsel and their accountants and with representatives of the Underwriters, at which time the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. However, except as specifically noted above, such counsel need not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Subject to the foregoing, such counsel shall advise you that no facts have come to their attention that cause them to believe that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, at the Closing Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make (x) the statements in the Registration Statement not misleading and (y) the statements in the Prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in each case except for the financial statements and related schedules or other financial or statistical data
14
included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel will not be called upon to express a belief).
Such counsel shall also opine as to such matters as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(ii) The NH Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement and the NH Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by New Holland, and are legal, valid and binding obligations of New Holland enforceable against New Holland in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of the NH Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement and the NH Purchase Agreement by New Holland, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, the limited liability company agreement of New Holland or any material agreement or instrument known to such counsel after due inquiry to which New Holland is a party or by which New Holland is bound or to which any of the properties of New Holland is subject.
(iv) The execution, delivery and performance of the NH Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement and the NH Purchase Agreement by New Holland, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not violate any statute, rule or regulation or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over New Holland or any of its properties.

Assuming that New Holland’s standard procedures with respect to the perfection of a security interest in the equipment financed by New Holland pursuant to retail agricultural, construction or other equipment installment sale contracts in the ordinary course of New Holland’s business have been followed with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the NH Receivables, New Holland has acquired or will acquire either a perfected security interest in such Financed Equipment or a perfected security interest in the NH Receivables, which indirectly provides New Holland with a security interest in such Financed Equipment that is perfected as against the obligor’s creditors; provided, however, that such opinion need not address any equipment that is subject to a certificate of title statute.
(viii) The NH Receivables are chattel paper as defined in the UCC.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. The failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section except to the extent that such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, moreover, the failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. In any proceeding hereunder any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to
22
the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons of Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for Case Credit and the Seller, the directors of Case Credit and the Seller, the officers of Case Credit and the Seller who sign the Registration Statement and such control persons of Case Credit and the Seller or authorized representatives shall be designated in writing by Case Credit and the Seller. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability and fault on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable other than in accordance with its terms, the Seller, Case Credit and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Seller and one or more of the Underwriters, in such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount and commissions appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Seller and Case Credit are responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Seller, each officer of the Seller who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased by it hereunder.
10. Defaults of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Seller for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 24 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Seller, except as provided in Section 11 and except that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall be 10% or less of the aggregate principal amount of all the
23
Notes set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all securities issued by the Seller or by a trust for which the Seller was the depositor, which securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
12. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Seller and Case Credit or any of their officers and each of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Seller submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation or statement as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or of the Seller or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and (iii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Seller pursuant to Section 6 and the respective obligations of the Seller and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated (other than because of a failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in items (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 7(d)), the Seller will reimburse any Underwriter, upon demand, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the offering of the Notes. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall limit the recourse of the Seller against the Underwriters.
13. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to Banc of America Securities LLC, Hearst Tower, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000 and to Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, World Financial Center, North Tower, New York, New York 10281, as Representatives of the Several Underwriters; if sent to the Seller, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed, and confirmed to it at CNH Capital Receivables Inc., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Treasurer; or, if sent to Case Credit, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Case Credit Corporation, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Treasurer; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter. Any such notice will take effect at the time of receipt.
14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder. No
24
purchaser of Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor of such Underwriter merely because of such purchase.
15. Representation. You will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by you will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
17. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
