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 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

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;

(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

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

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
related to such NH Purchased Contracts or Subsequent NH Receivables, as the
case may be, and not as a lending transaction. 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, 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
$249,172,150.16 in cash on the Closing Date.
(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 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be paid
to NH Credit on the related Subsequent Transfer Date; and (ii) the balance
4
shall be paid in cash as and when amounts are released to, or otherwise

(b) NH Credit makes the following representations and warranties as to
the NH Receivables on which CNHCR relies in accepting the Initial NH
Receivables and the Subsequent NH Receivables and in transferring the NH
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 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 that, as of the
Closing Date, 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 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
7
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 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.
8
(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.
(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 have been made.
(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.
9
(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 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.
(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
Equipment.
(xxvi) No Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Basic Documents, none of the Initial NH Receivables or the Subsequent NH
Receivables shall be Leases.
(xxvii) Perfection Representations. NH Credit further makes all of
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Schedule P.

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:

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
13
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.

Receivables, NH Credit will maintain its chief executive office and
"location", as defined in 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

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
14
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 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 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 $352,897,821.32 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.

CNHCR for the benefit of CNHCR, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders that the occurrence of a breach of any of
NH Credit's representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b), 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 5.5, the repurchase obligation of NH Credit shall constitute the sole

Trustee or the Certificateholders against NH Credit with respect to any
Repurchase Event.
SECTION 6.3 CNHCR Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With respect to

without recourse, representation or warranty, all of CNHCR's right, title and
interest in, to and under such NH Receivables, and all security and documents
relating thereto.
SECTION 6.4 Trust. NH Credit acknowledges and agrees that: (a) CNHCR
will, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell the NH Receivables to

rights to the Indenture Trustee and (c) the representations, warranties and
covenants contained in this Agreement and the rights of CNHCR under this

Certificateholders 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.
15
SECTION 6.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time,
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
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions

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.

CNHCR, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, with the written

required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes and
Certificates that are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes and Certificates.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or
Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.

public accountants will review the characteristics of the Receivables
described in the Schedule of Receivables and will compare those
characteristics to the information with respect to the Receivables contained

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 CNHCR."
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.
