APPENDIX B
Material Instances of Noncompliance:
New Holland Credit Company, LLC (the “Company”) has identified the following instance of material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria during the Reporting Period:
Regulation AB Item 1122(d)(2)(vii): Certain custodial account and related bank clearing account reconciliations were not being prepared within thirty calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date and contained reconciling items that had not been resolved within ninety days of their original identification. A system conversion occurring in 2007 resulted in a temporary delay in the availability of certain information causing several reconciliations to be completed beyond the 30 day timeframe. The Company has implemented various processes designed to increase the certainty that data is consistently available on a timely basis. The Company has ongoing initiatives designed to increase the certainty that reconciling items are cleared within 90 days of original identification.
