Subject to Completion, dated May 17, 2005

Case New Holland Inc.

Offer to Exchange

$500,000,000 6% Senior Notes due 2009 and

$1,050,000,000 9¹/4% Senior Notes due 2011

for

$500,000,000 6% Senior Notes due 2009 and

$1,050,000,000 9¹/4% Senior Notes due 2011

that have been registered under

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

     We are offering to exchange our 6% Senior Notes due 2009 and our 9¹/4% Senior Notes due 2011, or the “new notes,” for our currently outstanding 6% Senior Notes due 2009 and 9¹/4% Senior Notes due 2011, or the “old notes.” We sometimes refer to the new notes and the old notes collectively as the “notes.”

•  The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                   , 2005, unless extended.

•  We will exchange all old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

•  You may withdraw tendered old notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

•  The new notes are substantially identical to the old notes, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will not contain restrictions on transfer or have registration rights. The new notes will represent the same debt as the old notes, and we will issue the new notes under the same indentures.

•  We do not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any securities exchange or to arrange for them to be quoted on any quotation system.

•  The exchange offer is not subject to any conditions other than that the exchange offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

•  The exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Treatment of Exchanges under Exchange Offer.”

•  We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

     Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date of the exchange offer and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

    For a discussion of factors that you should consider before you participate in the exchange offer, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9.

    Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be distributed in the exchange offer or determined that this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                     , 2005.

PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION

      CNH Global N.V. (“CNH Global”) is incorporated in The Netherlands under Dutch law. CNH Global combines the operations of New Holland N.V. (“New Holland”) and Case Corporation (“Case”), as a result of their business merger on November 12, 1999.

(“Fiat Netherlands”), excluding the impact of the conversion of 8 million shares of CNH Global’s Series A Preference Shares (“Series A Preferred Stock”) held by Fiat and an affiliate of Fiat.

•  Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

•  Current Reports on Form 6-K furnished on January 13, 2005, January 24, 2005, February 3, 2005 (the second report filed on this date relating to CNH Global’s reorganization of its agricultural equipment business and executive transition), February 15, 2005, March 17, 2005, March 22, 2005, March 30, 2005, April 19, 2005, April 21, 2005 and May 4, 2005.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This prospectus includes, and incorporates by reference, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our

ii

competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. These statements may include terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “should,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “on track,” “goal” or similar terminology.

      Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors for us include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices, our and our customers’ access to credit, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings on our debt and asset-backed securities and the ratings of Fiat, risks related to our relationship with Fiat, political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including government subsidies and international trade regulations), technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our profit improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize operations and to execute our dual brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in CNH Global’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors we disclose that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

Our Business

General

      We are a global, full-line company in both the agricultural and construction equipment industries, with strong and usually leading positions in most significant geographic and product categories in both agricultural and construction equipment. Our global scope and scale includes integrated engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of equipment on five continents. We organize our operations into three business segments: agricultural equipment, construction equipment and financial services. We believe that we are, based on units sold, one of the largest manufacturers of agricultural equipment and one of the largest manufacturers of construction equipment in the world. We believe we have one of the industry’s largest equipment finance operations.

      We market our products globally through our two highly recognized brand families, Case and New Holland. The Case agricultural brand family includes the Case IH and Steyr brand names, while the Case construction equipment brand family is represented by the Case brand name. The New Holland agricultural brand family is represented by the New Holland name, and the New Holland construction equipment brand family includes the New Holland and Kobelco brand names. We manufacture our products in 39 facilities throughout the world and distribute our products in approximately 160 countries through an extensive network of approximately 11,400 dealers and distributors.

Our Business Segments

      We operate through distinct agricultural equipment and construction equipment segments, which together are known as our Equipment Operations, and in addition provide financial services through our Financial Services segment.

Equipment Operations

      In agricultural equipment, we believe we are one of the leading global manufacturers of agricultural tractors and combines based on units sold, and we have leading positions in hay and forage equipment and specialty harvesting equipment. In construction equipment, we have leading positions in backhoe loaders, in skid steer loaders in North America and a leading position in crawler excavators in Western Europe. In addition, we provide a complete range of replacement parts and services to support our equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net sales of agricultural equipment represented approximately 66% of our revenues, net sales of construction equipment represented approximately 29% of our revenues and Financial Services represented approximately 5% of our revenues.

      We believe that we are the most geographically diversified manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment in the industry. For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 42% of our net sales of

1

agricultural equipment were generated from net sales in North America, approximately 34% in Western Europe, approximately 9% in Latin America and approximately 15% in the Rest of World. For the same period, approximately 52% of our net sales of construction equipment were generated in North America, approximately 33% in Western Europe, approximately 6% in Latin America and approximately 9% in the Rest of World. Our broad manufacturing base includes facilities in Europe, Latin America, North America, China, India and Uzbekistan.

Financial Services

      We offer a range of Financial Services products, including, retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH equipment. To facilitate the sale of our products, we offer wholesale financing to our dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing and allows dealers to maintain a representative inventory of products. Our retail financing alternatives are intended to be competitive with financing available from third parties. We also offer retail financing in Brazil and Australia through wholly-owned subsidiaries and in Western Europe through our joint venture with BNP Paribas Lease Group. We believe that these activities are a core component of our business. As of December 31, 2004, Financial Services managed a portfolio of receivables, both on- and off-book, of approximately $13.3 billion.

      CNH Global has its registered office in the World Trade Centre, Amsterdam Airport, Tower B, 10th Floor, Schiphol Boulevard 217, 1118 BH Amsterdam, The Netherlands (telephone number: (31)-20-446-0429). It was incorporated on August 30, 1996. Our agent for U.S. federal securities law purposes is Roberto Miotto, 100 South Saunders Road, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045 (telephone number: (1)-847-955-4914).

	See “The Exchange Offer.”
Expiration Date	The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2005, unless extended (the “expiration date”).
Conditions of the Exchange Offer	Our obligation to consummate the exchange offer is not subject to any conditions, other than that the exchange offer does not violate any applicable law or SEC staff interpretation. See “The Exchange Offer — Conditions of the Exchange Offer.” We reserve the right to terminate or amend the exchange offer at any time prior to the expiration date if, among other things, there shall have been proposed, adopted or enacted any law, statute, rule, regulation or SEC staff interpretation which, in our judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.
Procedures for Tendering Old Notes	Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees who hold old notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) may effect tenders by book-entry transfer in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”). To tender old notes for exchange by book-entry transfer, an agent’s message (as defined under “The Exchange

3

	Offer — Procedures for Tendering”) or a completed and signed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), with any required signature guarantees and any other required documentation, must be delivered to the exchange agent at the address set forth in this prospectus on or prior to the expiration date, and the old notes must be tendered in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures for transfer.
	To tender old notes for exchange by means other than book-entry transfer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof) in accordance with the instructions contained in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the old notes, any required signature guarantees and any other required documentation, to the exchange agent at the address set forth in this prospectus on or prior to the expiration date.
	By tendering your old notes, you represent to us that:
	• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of business;
	• you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the old notes or the new notes;
	• you are not an “affiliate” of us (as defined under the Securities Act) or if you are an affiliate of us, that you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable; and
	• you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, the distribution of the new notes.
	Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes.
	See “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” and “Plan of Distribution.”
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners	If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. See “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering.”
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures	If you wish to tender your old notes in the exchange offer but your old notes are not immediately available for delivery or other documentation cannot be completed by the expiration date, or the procedures for book- entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, you may still tender your old notes by completing, signing and delivering the letter of transmittal or, in the case of a book-

4

	entry transfer, an agent’s message, with any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date and tendering your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”
Withdrawal Rights	You may withdraw your tender of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. See “The Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders.”
Acceptance of Old Notes and Delivery of New Notes	We will accept for exchange any and all old notes that are properly tendered to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer will be delivered promptly following the expiration date. See “The Exchange Offer — Terms of the Exchange Offer.”
Exchange Agent	JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer — Exchange Agent.”
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences	The exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You will not recognize any taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging old notes for new notes and you will have the same tax basis and holding period in the new notes as you had in the old notes immediately before the exchange. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
Consequences of Failure to Exchange the Old Notes	Any old notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer. Because the old notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, they bear a legend restricting their transfer absent registration or the availability of a specific exemption from registration. Upon the completion of the exchange offer, we will have no further obligations to provide for registration of the old notes under the Securities Act. You do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the indentures governing the notes in connection with the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer — Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”
Use of Proceeds	We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

We may make that redemption only if, after the redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 91/4% notes issued remains outstanding and the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of the equity offering.
	See “Description of Notes — Redemption — Optional Redemption.”
Change of Control Offer	Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the “Description of Notes” section), you will have the right, as holders of the notes, to require us to repurchase some or all of your notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. See “Description of Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control.”
Certain Covenants	The indentures that govern each series of notes contains covenants limiting, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
	• incur additional debt;
	• pay dividends on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock;
	• make certain investments;
	• enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;
	• limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us;
	• use assets as security in other transactions;
	• enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and
	• sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies.
	These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, including but not limited to exceptions whereby some of these covenants will cease to apply before the notes mature if the notes achieve investment grade ratings by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or any successor entity (“Standard & Poor’s”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any successor entity (“Moody’s”). See “Description of Notes — Certain Covenants.”
Financial Services	Under the terms of the indentures governing the notes, we will be able, subject to certain conditions, to dispose of the capital stock or assets of our Financial Services subsidiaries without complying with the requirement under each of the indentures to use the proceeds thereof to purchase the notes under certain circumstances. In addition, the indentures permit us to designate our Financial Services subsidiaries as “unrestricted subsidiaries” if we comply with certain conditions, in which case they will not be subject to the restrictions of the indentures. See “Description of Notes.”

Original Issue Discount The old 6% notes were issued at an original issue discount (OID) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In each tax year during which a 6% note is held, a United States holder of such new note generally is required to include the OID in income as it accrues in accordance with a constant yield method, irrespective of the receipt of the related cash payments, and regardless of its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The OID accrual schedule for a new note will be the same as that of the old note exchanged for such new note. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — United States Holders — Original Issue Discount.”

You should refer to the section “Risk Factors” for an explanation of certain risks of investing in the notes.

RISK FACTORS

     Before participating in the exchange offer and investing in the new notes, you should consider carefully the following factors, the risk factors contained in our Form 20-F and the information contained in the rest of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer

You must carefully follow the required procedures in order to exchange your old notes.

      The new notes will be issued in exchange for old notes only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of a duly executed letter of transmittal (or an agent’s message (as defined under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering”)) and all other required documents. Therefore, if you wish to tender your old notes, you must allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither we nor the exchange agent has any duty to notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. Any holder of old notes who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired in market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes.

If you do not exchange old notes for new notes, transfer restrictions will continue and trading of the old notes may be adversely affected.

      The old notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. Old notes that are not tendered for exchange for new notes or are tendered but not accepted will, following completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to existing restrictions upon transfers. We do not currently expect to register the old notes under the Securities Act. To the extent that old notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the old notes, if any, could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to the New Notes

The new notes will be effectively subordinated to Case New Holland’s existing and future secured debt and other secured obligations, and the guarantees of the new notes will be effectively subordinated to the guarantors’ secured debt and other secured obligations.

      Holders of Case New Holland’s secured debt and the secured debt of any guarantor will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the new notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other debt. The new notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all such secured debt to the extent of the value of its collateral. In the event of any distribution or payment of Case New Holland’s or any other guarantor’s assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured debt will have a prior claim to the assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the new notes will participate ratably with all holders of Case New Holland’s and the guarantors’ unsecured senior debt, and potentially with all of their other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in their respective remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the new notes. As a result, holders of new notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured debt. As of December 31, 2004, Case New Holland and the guarantors had approximately $450 million of secured debt. CNH Global and its subsidiaries may also incur additional senior secured debt in the future, consistent with the terms of the indentures governing the new notes and our other debt agreements.

9

If an active trading market for the new notes does not develop, the liquidity and value of the new notes could be harmed.

      There is no existing market for the new notes and Case New Holland cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the new notes. If no active trading market develops, you may not be able to resell your new notes at their fair market value, or at all. Future trading prices of the new notes will depend on, among other things, the ability of Case New Holland to effect the exchange offer or registration of the notes, prevailing interest rates, its and our operating results and the market for similar securities. The initial purchasers of the old notes in the original offerings have advised Case New Holland that they intend to make a market in the notes. However, the initial purchasers may cease their market-making at any time. Case New Holland does not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any securities exchange.

At any time when the new notes are rated investment grade, we will not be subject to most of the covenants in the indentures governing such new notes.

      At any time when any of the new notes are rated “investment grade” by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, CNH Global and its subsidiaries will not be subject to most of the covenants contained in the indentures governing such new notes. This may allow the taking of actions that could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the new notes.

Both Case New Holland and CNH Global are holding companies with no direct operations and the new notes will be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness of subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the new notes.

      Both Case New Holland and CNH Global are holding companies with no direct operations. Their principal assets are the equity interests and investments they hold in their subsidiaries. As a result, they depend on dividends and other payments from their subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet their financial obligations, including the payment of principal of and interest on their outstanding debt. Their subsidiaries are legally distinct from them and have no obligation to pay amounts due on their debt or to make funds available to them for such payment except as provided in the note guarantees or pursuant to intercompany notes. Not all of Case New Holland’s or CNH Global’s subsidiaries will guarantee the new notes. A holder of new notes will not have any claim as a creditor against subsidiaries of Case New Holland and CNH Global that are not guarantors of the notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those non-guarantor subsidiaries will be effectively senior to your claims.

In the event of a change of control, CNH Global and Case New Holland may not be able to satisfy all of their obligations under our existing credit facilities, the new notes or our other indebtedness.

      If, following the issuance of the new notes, CNH Global or Case New Holland experiences specific kinds of changes of control, Case New Holland will be required to repurchase all outstanding new notes. However, CNH Global’s existing credit facilities provide that certain change of control events will constitute an event of default. Such an event of default would entitle the lenders thereunder to, among other things, cause all outstanding debt obligations under the credit facility to become due and payable and to proceed against the collateral securing such credit facility. Any event of default or acceleration of one of our credit facilities will likely also cause a default under the terms of the other indebtedness of CNH Global. There can be no assurance that CNH Global or Case New Holland will have sufficient assets or be able to obtain sufficient third-party financing to satisfy all of its obligations under our credit facilities, the new notes or our other indebtedness.

      In addition, certain of our credit facilities contain, and any future credit facilities or other agreements to which CNH Global becomes a party may contain, restrictions on its ability to offer to repurchase the new notes in connection with a change of control. In the event a change of control occurs at a time when it is prohibited from offering to purchase the new notes, Case New Holland could seek consent to offer to purchase

10

the new notes or attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such a prohibition. If it does not obtain the consent or refinance the borrowings, Case New Holland would remain prohibited from offering to purchase the new notes. In such case, the failure by Case New Holland to offer to purchase any of the new notes would constitute a default under the indentures governing the new notes, which, in turn, could result in amounts outstanding under any future credit facility or other agreement relating to indebtedness being declared due and payable. Any such declaration could have adverse consequences to CNH Global, Case New Holland and the holders of the new notes.

Your rights under the guarantees may be limited by laws in various jurisdictions, including fraudulent conveyance and insolvency laws.

      The new notes will be issued by Case New Holland, a Delaware corporation, and guaranteed by corporations organized under the laws of Delaware, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Belgium. In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event, proceedings could be initiated in any or all of such jurisdictions. Such multi-jurisdictional proceedings are likely to be complex and costly for creditors and otherwise may result in greater uncertainty and delay regarding the enforcement of your rights. Your rights under the guarantees will be subject to the insolvency and administrative laws of several jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that you will be able to effectively enforce your rights in such complex, multiple bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings.

      In addition, the bankruptcy, insolvency, administrative and other laws of the guarantors’ jurisdictions of organization may be materially different from, or in conflict with, each other and those of the United States, including in the areas of rights of creditors, priority of governmental and other creditors, ability to obtain post-petition interest and duration of the proceeding. The application of these laws, or any conflict among them, could call into question whether any particular jurisdiction’s law should apply, adversely affect your ability to enforce your rights under the new notes and the guarantees in these jurisdictions or limit amounts that you may receive.

      The laws of certain of the jurisdictions in which the subsidiary guarantors are organized limit the ability of these subsidiaries to guarantee debt of a sister company. These limitations arise under various provisions or principles of corporate law, which include, among others, provisions requiring a sister guarantor to receive adequate corporate benefit from the financing. If these limitations were not observed, the guarantees of the new notes by these subsidiary guarantors would be subject to legal challenge. In these jurisdictions, the guarantees of the new notes will contain language providing that the guarantee will not be construed so as to give rise to a violation of the applicable local law restrictions. Accordingly, if you were to enforce the guarantees of the new notes of the subsidiary guarantors in these jurisdictions, your claims may be limited. Furthermore, although we believe that the guarantees of the new notes of these subsidiary guarantors are enforceable (subject to such local law restrictions), there can be no assurance that a third party creditor or a trustee would not challenge these guarantees of the new notes and prevail in court.

United States

      Under U.S. federal bankruptcy laws or comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the issuance of the guarantees by the U.S. subsidiary guarantors could be voided, if, among other things, at the time the U.S. subsidiary guarantors issued the related guarantees, the applicable subsidiary guarantor:

•  intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor; or

•  received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and

•  was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

•  was engaged in a business or transaction for which such subsidiary guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

11

•  intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

      The measures of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding with respect to the foregoing. Generally, however, a U.S. subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•  the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair value of all of its assets;

•  the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

•  it could not pay its debts as they become due.

      By its terms, the guarantee of each U.S. subsidiary guarantor will limit the liability of each such guarantor to the maximum amount it can pay without the guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer. CNH Global believes that immediately after the issuance of the new notes by Case New Holland and the issuance of the new note guarantees by the guarantors, CNH Global and each of the U.S. subsidiary guarantors will be solvent, will have sufficient capital to carry on their respective businesses and will be able to pay their respective debts as they mature. However, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would reach the same conclusions with regard to these issues. In a 2002 ruling inIn re W.R. Grace & Co., the federal bankruptcy court for the District of Delaware held that under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, whether a transferor is rendered insolvent by a transfer depends on the actual liabilities of the transferor, and not what the transferor knows about such liabilities or estimated such liabilities to be at the time of the transfer. Therefore, under that court’s analysis, liabilities that are unknown, or that are known to exist but whose magnitude is not fully appreciated at the time of the transfer, may be taken into account in the context of a future determination of insolvency. If the principle articulated by that court is upheld, it would make it very difficult to know whether a transferor is solvent at the time of transfer, and would increase the risk that the incurrence of any one of the guarantees may in the future be found to be a fraudulent conveyance.

The Netherlands

      CNH Global and CNH Trade N.V., two of the guarantors, are incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands. Any insolvency proceedings applicable to them may be governed by Dutch insolvency laws. Dutch insolvency laws differ significantly from the insolvency laws of the United States and may make it more difficult for holders of the new notes to recover the amount in respect of the guarantees that they would have recovered in a liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding in the United States. There are two corporate insolvency regimes under Dutch law: (1) moratorium of payment (surseance van betaling), which is intended to facilitate the reorganization of a debtor’s debts and enable the debtor to continue as a going concern, and (2) bankruptcy (faillissement), which is primarily designed to liquidate and distribute the assets of a debtor to its creditors.

      Unlike Chapter 11 proceedings under the U.S. bankruptcy law, during which both secured and unsecured creditors generally are barred from seeking to recover on their claims, during moratorium of payment proceedings, certain secured creditors (including the senior lenders as secured creditors under the senior credit facilities) and preferential creditors may seek to satisfy their claims by proceeding against the assets that secure their claims or to which they have preferential rights. Therefore, a recovery under Dutch law could involve a sale of the assets in a manner that does not reflect their respective going concern value. Consequently, Dutch insolvency laws could preclude or inhibit a restructuring and could reduce any recovery you might obtain in an insolvency proceeding.

      In connection with Dutch bankruptcy proceedings, the assets of a debtor are generally liquidated and the proceeds distributed to the debtor’s creditors on the basis of the relative priority of the claims of those creditors and, to the extent claims of certain creditors have equal priority, in proportion to the amount of such claims.

12

Certain parties, such as secured creditors (including senior lenders as secured creditors under senior credit facilities), will benefit from special rights. For example, secured creditors such as pledgees and mortgagees may enforce their rights separately from bankruptcy. In addition, any claims you may have may be limited depending on the date they become due and payable. All unsecured, pre-bankruptcy claims are submitted to a receiver (curator) for verification, and the receiver makes a determination as to the existence, ranking and value of the claim and whether and to what extent it should be admitted in the bankruptcy proceedings.

      Creditors that wish to dispute the verification of their claims by the receiver will need to commence a court proceeding.

      Although no interest is payable in respect of unsecured claims as of the date of a bankruptcy, if the net present value of a claim of a holder needs to be determined, such determination will be made by taking into account the agreed payment date and interest rate. The performance of a due obligation prior to the bankruptcy of a debtor may be avoided if the creditor knew that a petition for the bankruptcy of the debtor had been filed or, in certain circumstances, where the performance of the obligation resulted from consultation between the debtor and the creditor with a view to creating a preference over other creditors of the debtor.

      In addition, a transaction that a creditor entered into voluntarily is subject to avoidance if the debtor knew or should have known that the transaction would prejudice one or more of its other creditors. Such knowledge is assumed by law if the transaction has been entered into less than one year prior to the bankruptcy of the debtor. If the transaction is entered into for consideration, it may only be avoided if the creditor also knew or should have known that the transaction would prejudice the debtor’s other creditors. Knowledge of the creditor and the debtor that a transaction would prejudice other creditors of the debtor is presumed by law if such transaction has been entered into less than one year prior to the bankruptcy of the debtor or within one year before the date the claim for fraudulent conveyance is made, unless the transaction is entered into pursuant to an obligation existing prior to such one year period, if it is also established that one of the conditions referred to in article 2:46 of the Dutch Civil Code or, respectively, article 43 of the Dutch Bankruptcy Act is fulfilled. These conditions include, but are not limited to, situations where (i) the value of the obligation of the debtor materially exceeds the value of the obligation of the creditor; (ii) the debtor pays or grants security for debts which are not yet due; (iii) an agreement is made or an obligation arises from one legal entity to another if a director of one of these legal entities is also a director of the other; or (iv) an agreement is made with a group company.

      Under Dutch law, a transaction entered into by any legal entity may be avoided by that entity if such transaction is beyond the corporate purpose of such entity and is thereforeultra vires. Since CNH Trade N.V. is not a shareholder of Case New Holland, the guarantee by CNH Trade N.V. may be consideredultra viresif entering into the guarantee were not considered to be in the best interests of CNH Trade N.V. In the event that the guarantee by CNH Trade N.V. is determined to beultra vires, such guarantee may be declared null and void.

      Although CNH Trade N.V. believes that entering into the guarantee is notultra vires, there is limited case law and jurisprudence on this issue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the guarantee by CNH Trade N.V. would not be consideredultra viresand declared null and void.

Germany

      CNH Deutschland GmbH, a guarantor, is incorporated in Germany. Consequently, in the event of its insolvency, insolvency proceedings may be initiated in Germany. Such proceedings would then be governed by German law.

      Under German law, insolvency proceedings can be initiated either by the debtor or by a creditor in the event of over-indebtedness (Überschuldung) of the debtor (i.e., where its liabilities exceed the value of its assets) or in the event that the debtor is unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due (Zahlungsunfähigkeit). In addition, the debtor can file for insolvency proceedings if it is imminently at risk to be unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due (drohende Zahlungsunfähigkeit). The insolvency proceedings are

13

court controlled and the court opens the insolvency proceedings if certain formal requirements are met and if there are sufficient assets to cover at least the costs of the proceedings. The court appoints an insolvency administrator who, once the main insolvency proceedings have been opened, has full power to dispose of the debtor’s assets, whereas the debtor is no longer entitled to dispose of its assets.

      All creditors, whether secured or unsecured (unless they have a right to separate an asset from the insolvency estate (Aussonderungsrecht), who wish to assert claims against the debtor need to participate in the insolvency proceedings. Any individual enforcement action brought against the debtor by any of its creditors is subject to an automatic stay once insolvency proceedings have been opened. In the insolvency proceedings, however, secured creditors have certain preferential rights. If CNH Deutschland GmbH grants security over its assets such security may result in a preferred treatment of creditors secured by such security. Certain creditors who are secured by a pledge over a claim, or over a movable asset that such secured creditors have in their possession, are entitled to enforce their security interest by themselves. Other security interests are enforced by the insolvency administrator. In case of an enforcement by the insolvency administrator, the enforcement proceeds less certain contributory charges for (i) assessing the value of the secured assets and (ii) realizing the secured assets are paid to the creditor holding a security interest in the relevant collateral up to an amount equal to its secured claims. In any event, the remaining amount, if any, will be distributed among the unsecured creditors who are satisfied on a pro rata basis only. The proceeds resulting from the realization of the insolvency estate (Insolvenzmasse) of CNH Deutschland GmbH may not be sufficient to satisfy unsecured creditors under the guarantees granted by CNH Deutschland GmbH after the secured creditors have been satisfied. A different distribution of enforcement proceeds can be proposed in an insolvency plan (Insolvenzplan) which can be submitted by the debtor or the insolvency administrator and which requires the consent of the debtor and the consent of each class of creditors in accordance with specific majority rules.

United Kingdom

      CNH U.K. Limited and New Holland Holding Limited, two of the guarantors, are incorporated under U.K. law. Accordingly, insolvency proceedings with respect to these subsidiaries may proceed under, and be governed by, U.K. insolvency law. The procedural and substantive provisions of U.K. insolvency law generally are more favorable to secured creditors than comparable provisions of U.S. law. These provisions afford debtors and unsecured creditors only limited protection from the claims of secured creditors. It will generally not be possible for the U.K. guarantors or their unsecured creditors to prevent secured creditors with security interests that are superior to the security interests of holders of new notes from enforcing their security to repay the debts due to them. Our secured creditors will have priority over the assets securing their debt. As a result, your ability to realize claims against us with respect to your new notes if the U.K. guarantors become insolvent may be more limited than under U.S. and other laws.

      In addition, under U.K. insolvency law, the U.K. guarantors’ liabilities in respect of the new notes may also, in the event of insolvency or similar proceedings, rank junior to some of its other debts that are entitled to priority under U.K. law. These debts entitled to priority may include (a) amounts owed in respect of occupational pension schemes, (b) certain amounts owed to employees and (c) liquidation expenses.

      Any interest accruing under or in respect of the new notes in respect of any period after the commencement of liquidation proceedings would only be recoverable by holders of the new notes from any surplus remaining after payment of all other debts proved in such liquidation and accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of the commencement of proceedings.

      A liquidator or administrator of a U.K. guarantor could apply to the court to rescind the issuance of its guarantee if such liquidator or administrator believed that issuance of such guarantee constituted a transaction at less than market value. Under U.K. insolvency law, the liquidator or administrator of a company may, among other things, apply to the court to rescind a transaction entered into by a company, if such company was insolvent (as defined in the U.K. Insolvency Act 1986) at the time of, or immediately after, the transaction and enters into a formal insolvency process within two years of the completion of the transaction. A transaction might be subject to such rescission if it involved a gift by a company or if a company received

14

consideration of significantly less value than the benefit given by such company. A court generally will not intervene, however, if a company entered into the transaction in good faith for the purpose of carrying on its business and that at the time it did so there were reasonable grounds for believing the transaction would benefit such company.

      We believe that the guarantee given by each U.K. guarantor will not be provided in a transaction at less than fair value and that the guarantee will be provided in good faith for the purposes of carrying on the business of the guarantor and its subsidiaries and that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the transactions will benefit the guarantor. There can be no assurance, however, that the provisions of the guarantees by the U.K. guarantors will not be challenged by a liquidator or administrator or that a court would support our analysis.

Canada

      CNH Canada, Ltd., one of the guarantors, is organized under Canadian law. The granting of the guarantee of the new notes by CNH Canada, Ltd. may be subject to review under applicable Canadian federal or provincial law if a bankruptcy or lawsuit is commenced by or on behalf of CNH Canada, Ltd.’s unpaid creditors. Under such laws, if a court were to find that, at the time such guarantor incurred the guarantee of the notes, such guarantor:

      either:

•  incurred the guarantee of the new notes with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors; or

•  received less than the fair market value for incurring the guarantee of the new notes, and such guarantor:

•  was insolvent, was rendered insolvent by giving the guarantee or becomes subject to an insolvency proceeding within one year of giving the guarantee;

•  is insolvent or unable to pay its debts in full or knows that it is on the eve of insolvency and incurred the guarantee of the new notes with the intent of giving an unjust preference over other creditors; or

•  intended to give a creditor a preference over other creditors, if such transaction was made within one year of the date of bankruptcy,

then the court could void the guarantee of such guarantor or subordinate the amounts owing under such guarantee to such guarantor’s presently existing or future debt or take actions detrimental to you.

      Generally, a company would be considered insolvent according to Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency laws if, at the time it incurs the debt or issues the guarantee:

•  the company is for any reason unable to meet its obligations as they generally become due;

•  the company has ceased paying its current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due; or

•  the aggregate of the company’s property is not, at a fair valuation, sufficient, or if disposed of at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, would not be sufficient to enable payment of all its obligations, due and accruing due.

      If the guarantee is avoided as a reviewable transaction, settlement, preference or fraudulent conveyance or found to be unenforceable for any other reason, you will not have a claim against that guarantor and will only be a creditor of Case New Holland or any guarantor whose obligation was not set aside or found to be unenforceable.

15

Belgium

Bankruptcy

      New Holland Tractor Limited N.V. and CNH Belgium N.V., two of the guarantors, are incorporated in Belgium. As a rule, under Belgian law all transactions (including guarantees) prior to the date of bankruptcy remain valid. However, a Belgian bankruptcy judgment may contain a hardening period of a maximum of 6 months, or the Bankruptcy Court may decide later to introduce such a hardening period. Certain transactions that occur during this hardening period can be declared unenforceable against the bankrupt estate. Such a hardening period can only be imposed by the Bankruptcy Court when there are clear indications that the Belgian subsidiary was in a situation of suspension of payment before the date of bankruptcy.

      The receiver of the bankrupt Belgian subsidiaries may request the Bankruptcy Court to declare the guarantee unenforceable against the bankrupt estate (article 17 Bankruptcy Code) if one of the following occurs during the hardening period:

(i)  a transaction with third parties is entered into on extremely beneficial terms;

(ii)  a payment which was not yet due or a payment other than in money for debts due; and

(iii)  a security interest is provided during the hardening period for old debts.

      In addition, the receiver may request the Bankruptcy Court to declare the guarantee which could be qualified as a payment of due debts by the Belgian subsidiary unenforceable against the bankrupt estate if the third party was aware of the suspension of payment of the company (article 18 Bankruptcy Code).

      Regardless of any declaration by the Bankruptcy Court of a hardening period, transactions entered into with fraudulent prejudice to other creditors may be declared unenforceable against the bankrupt estate (article 20 Bankruptcy Code).

Moratorium

      The obligations of the Belgian subsidiaries may be frozen and reduced in accordance with Belgian moratorium procedures (similar to Chapter 11 procedures in the United States) in accordance with Belgian Moratorium Law.

Corporate Interest

      A transaction entered into by a Belgian subsidiary which is outside the “corporate interest” of such company can be declared null and void. The Belgian subsidiaries believe that entering into the guarantees is within their “corporate interest.” However, there are no laws, case law or clear jurisprudence to indicate with certainty that the guarantees are within the corporate interest of the Belgian subsidiaries and, consequently, there remains a risk that the guarantees would fall outside the “corporate interest” and would be declared null and void.

Australia

      CNH Australia Pty Ltd., one of the guarantors, is incorporated in Australia. Under Australian insolvency law, the liquidator of an Australian incorporated guarantor may seek to challenge the guarantee given by that Australian guarantor if the guarantee was an insolvent transaction and an uncommercial transaction. The guarantee will be an uncommercial transaction of an Australian guarantor if, and only if, it may be expected that a reasonable person in the Australian guarantor’s circumstances would not have entered into the transaction, having regard to the benefits (if any) to the Australian guarantor of entering into the transaction, the detriment to the company of entering into the transaction, the respective benefits to other parties to the transaction of entering into it and any other relevant matter. The transaction would be an insolvent transaction if it was an uncommercial transaction and either was entered into when the Australian guarantor was insolvent or the Australian guarantor becomes insolvent as a result of entering into the guarantee. A court generally will

16

not intervene, however, if the Australian guarantor entered into the transaction when it was solvent and did so in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on its business and there were reasonable grounds for believing the transaction would benefit the Australian guarantor. Under Australian insolvency law, certain debts rank ahead of general unsecured obligations, such as those under a guarantee. These include certain liabilities to taxing authorities and employees.

Certain subsidiaries are not included as subsidiary guarantors.

      The guarantors of the new notes include only CNH Global and certain of our subsidiaries. Because a substantial portion of our operations is conducted by the non-guarantor subsidiaries, our cash flow and our ability to service debt, including our and the subsidiary guarantors’ ability to pay the interest on and principal of the new notes when due, are dependent to a significant extent upon interest payments, cash dividends and distributions or other transfers from the non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, any payment of interest, dividends, distributions, loans or advances by the non-guarantor subsidiaries to us and to the subsidiary guarantors, as applicable, could be subject to restrictions on dividends or repatriation of earnings under applicable local law, monetary transfer restrictions and foreign currency exchange regulations in the jurisdictions in which those non-guarantor subsidiaries operate. Moreover, payments to us and the subsidiary guarantors by the non-guarantor subsidiaries will be contingent upon these subsidiaries’ earnings.

      Our non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the new notes or the guarantees or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that we or the subsidiary guarantors have to receive any assets of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of those subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of holders of new notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those subsidiaries’ assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors and holders of debt of that subsidiary.

Holders may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon CNH Global or the other non-U.S. guarantors or to enforce against them judgments of U.S. courts.

      CNH Global is a corporation organized under the laws of The Netherlands, and certain of the other guarantors are organized in jurisdictions outside the United States. In addition, some of the members of CNH Global’s Board of Directors and some of CNH Global’s officers reside outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon CNH Global or the other non-U.S. guarantors or those persons. In addition, you may not be able to enforce against them, either in the United States or outside the United States, judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Also, a substantial portion of CNH Global’s assets and the assets of those persons is located outside the United States; therefore, you may not be able to collect a judgment within the United States.

Any original issue discount may limit your claims in certain circumstances.

      If a bankruptcy case is commenced by or against us under the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, the claim of a holder of new 6% notes with respect to the principal amount thereof may be limited to an amount equal to the sum of (i) the original issue price of the 6% notes and (ii) that portion of the original issue discount (as determined on the basis of such issue price) which is not deemed to constitute “unmatured interest” for purposes of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Any original issue discount that was not amortized as of any such bankruptcy filing could constitute “unmatured interest.”

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purposes and Effect of the Exchange Offer

      We sold the old 6% senior notes and the old 9¹/4% senior notes in private offerings in 2004 and 2003, respectively, to the initial purchasers thereof, who resold the old notes to “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

      In connection with the issuance of each series of old notes, Case New Holland, CNH Global, the subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers thereof entered into registration rights agreements (collectively, the “registration rights agreements”) for the benefit of holders of the old notes. The following description of the registration rights agreements is a summary only. It is not complete and does not describe all of the provisions of the registration rights agreements. For more information, you should review the provisions of the registration rights agreements that we filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

      Pursuant to the registration rights agreements, Case New Holland, CNH Global and the subsidiary guarantors agreed, at our cost, for the benefit of the holders of the old notes, to:

•  not later than April 30, 2005, file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to a registered offer to exchange the old notes for new notes of Case New Holland evidencing the same continuing indebtedness under, and having terms substantially identical in all material respects to, the old notes (except that the new notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions) and

•  cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act not later than 90 days after the date of the filing of the registration statement.

      Upon the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement, we will offer the new notes in exchange for surrender of the old notes. We will keep the registered exchange offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) and not more than 30 business days after the date notice of the registered exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the old notes. For each old note surrendered to us pursuant to the registered exchange offer, the holder of such note will receive a new note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered note. Interest on each new note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the old note surrendered in exchange thereof or, if no interest has been paid on such old note, from the date of its original issue.

      Under existing SEC interpretations, the new notes would be freely transferable by holders of such notes other than our affiliates after the registered exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the new notes represents that it is acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and that it is not our affiliate, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC;providedthat broker-dealers (“participating broker-dealers”) receiving new notes in the registered exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such new notes. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to new notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the old notes) with the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement. Under the registration rights agreements, we are required to allow participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, with similar prospectus delivery requirements to use the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement in connection with the resale of such new notes.

      A holder of old notes (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to exchange such notes for new notes in the registered exchange offer is required to represent that any new notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of the commencement of the registered exchange offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes and that it is not our “affiliate,” as defined in

18

Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

      In the event that:

(i)  applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect such a registered exchange offer,

(ii)  for any other reason the exchange offer registration statement is not declared effective within 90 days after the date of the filing of the registration statement or the registered exchange offer is not consummated within 120 days after the exchange offer registration statement is filed,

(iii)  the initial purchasers of either series of old notes so request with respect to old notes not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in the registered exchange offer or

(iv)  any holder of old notes (other than the initial purchasers) is not eligible to participate in the registered exchange offer or does not receive freely tradeable new notes in the registered exchange offer other than by reason of such holder being an affiliate of us (it being understood that the requirement that a participating broker-dealer deliver the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement in connection with sales of new notes shall not result in such new notes being not “freely tradeable”),

we will, at our cost,

(a)	as promptly as practicable, file a registration statement (the “shelf registration statement”) covering resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be,
(b)	cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act and
(c)	use our best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective until two years after its effective date.

      We will, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, among other things, provide to each holder for whom such shelf registration statement was filed copies of the prospectus which is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each such holder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the old notes or the new notes, as the case may be. A holder selling such old notes or new notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement which are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations).

      If

(a)	on or prior to April 30, 2005, neither the exchange offer registration statement nor the shelf registration statement has been filed with the SEC,
(b)	on or prior to the 91st day following the date of the filing of the registration statement, neither the exchange offer registration statement nor the shelf registration statement has been declared effective,
(c)	on or prior to the 121st day after the exchange offer registration statement is filed, the registered exchange offer has not been consummated,
(d)	notwithstanding that Case New Holland has consummated the exchange offer, if Case New Holland is required to file a shelf registration statement, the shelf registration statement is not filed or has not been declared effective within the time periods provided for in the registration rights agreement, or
(e)	after either the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement has been declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable (subject to

19

certain exceptions) in connection with resales of notes or exchange notes in accordance with and during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement

(each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (e), a “registration default”), interest (“additional interest”) will accrue on the principal amount of the old notes and the new notes (in addition to the stated interest on the old notes and the new notes) from and including the date on which any such registration default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all registration defaults have been cured. Additional interest will accrue at a rate of 0.50% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such registration default and shall increase by 0.50% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 2.0% per annum.

Resale of the New Notes

      Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that, unless you are a broker-dealer or an affiliate of us, you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes issued to you pursuant to the exchange offer without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act,providedthat you acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of business and you do not intend to participate in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes.

      If you are an affiliate of us or if you tender in the exchange offer with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of the new notes, you may not rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988) and Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated (available June 5, 1991), or similar no-action letters, but rather must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. In addition, any such resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act.

      Any broker-dealer that resells the new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

      By tendering in the exchange offer, you represent to us that, among other things:

(1)	you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of business;
(2)	you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the old notes or the new notes;
(3)	you are not an “affiliate” of us (as defined under the Securities Act) or if you are an affiliate of us, that you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;
(4)	you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, the distribution of the new notes; and
(5)	if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for your own account in exchange for any old notes that were acquired by you as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities:

(a)	you cannot rely on the no-action letters described above; and
(b)	you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes.

20

Terms of the Exchange Offer

      Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the exchange offer, we will accept any and all old notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date. We will promptly issue the new notes following expiration of the exchange offer. See “— Conditions to the Exchange Offer” and “— Procedures for Tendering.” We will issue $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of old notes accepted in the exchange offer. As of the date of this prospectus, there is $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of old 6% notes outstanding and $1,050,000,000 aggregate principal amount of old 9¹/4% notes outstanding. Holders may tender some or all of their old notes of either series pursuant to the exchange offer. However, old notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any number or aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered.

      The form and terms of each series of new notes will be the same in all material respects as the form and terms of the same series of old notes, except that each series of new notes will be registered under the Securities Act and therefore will not bear legends restricting their transfer. The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the applicable indentures pursuant to which the old notes were issued. Old notes that are accepted for exchange will be cancelled and retired.

      Interest on the new notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the old notes or, if no interest has been paid on the old notes, the issue date. Accordingly, registered holders of new notes on the relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the completion of the exchange offer will receive interest accruing from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the old notes, the issue date. Old notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue interest from and after the date the exchange offer closes. If your old notes are accepted for exchange, you will not receive any payment in respect of interest on the old notes for which the record date occurs on or after completion of the exchange offer.

      You do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the indentures in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreements. If you do not tender for exchange or if your tender is not accepted, the old notes will remain outstanding and you will be entitled to the benefits of the applicable indentures, but will not be entitled to any registration rights under the registration rights agreements.

      For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, and if, we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as our agent for the purpose of distributing the appropriate new notes from us to the tendering holders. If we do not accept any tendered old notes because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of certain other events set forth in this prospectus, we will return the unaccepted old notes, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof promptly after the expiration date.

      If you tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. See “— Fees and Expenses” below.

Expiration Date; Extension; Termination; Amendments

      The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2005, unless extended (the “expiration date”). We reserve the right to extend the exchange offer at our discretion (subject to the requirements of the registration rights agreements), in which event the term “expiration date” shall mean the time and date on which the exchange offer as so extended shall expire. We will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will make a public announcement of any extension and specify the principal amount of old notes tendered to date, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next

21

business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion (subject to the requirements of the registration rights agreements), to:

(1)	delay accepting for exchange any old notes for new notes or to extend or terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any old notes for new notes if any of the events set forth under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer” occur and we do not waive the condition by giving oral or written notice of the delay or termination to the exchange agent; or
(2)	amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

      We will not delay payment of accepted old notes after the expiration date other than in anticipation of our receipt of any necessary government approvals.

      Any delay in acceptance for exchange, extension or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement of the delay. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner we determine constitutes a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of old notes of the amendment, and we will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the holders of the old notes, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during that five to ten business day period. If we change the consideration being offered or the percentage of old notes being sought in the exchange offer, we will keep the exchange offer open for at least ten business days from the date on which we provide notice to holders of the old notes. The rights we have reserved in this paragraph are in addition to our rights set forth under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer.”

Conditions of the Exchange Offer

      Our obligation to consummate the exchange offer is not subject to any conditions other than that the exchange offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the SEC staff. Accordingly, we will not be required to accept for exchange any old notes tendered and may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided herein before the acceptance of any old notes if:

(1)	any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency or regulatory authority with respect to the exchange offer which, in our judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or
(2)	there shall have been proposed, adopted or enacted any law, statute, rule, regulation, order or SEC staff interpretation which, in our judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.

      The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the conditions or may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion prior to the expiration date. If we waive or amend the foregoing conditions, we will, if required by applicable law, extend the exchange offer for a minimum of five business days from the date that we first give notice, by public announcement or otherwise, of such waiver or amendment, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire within that five business-day period. Our determination concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon all parties.

Procedures For Tendering

      Only a holder of old notes may tender them in the exchange offer. To validly tender in the exchange offer by book-entry transfer, you must deliver an agent’s message or a completed and signed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, and the old notes must be tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth below. To validly tender by means other than book-entry transfer, you must deliver a completed and signed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof),

22

together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents and the old notes, to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

      Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s Book-Entry Transfer Facility system may make book-entry delivery of the old notes by causing DTC to transfer the old notes into the exchange agent’s account in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of old notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, an agent’s message or a completed and signed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its addresses set forth under “— Exchange Agent” prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth below must be complied with. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC IN ACCORDANCE WITH DTC’S PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

      The term “agent’s message” means, with respect to any tendered old notes, a message transmitted by DTC to and received by the exchange agent and forming part of a book-entry confirmation, stating that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from each tendering participant to the effect that, with respect to those old notes, the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against the participant. The term “book-entry confirmation” means a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC.

      If you tender an old note, and do not validly withdraw your tender, your actions will constitute an agreement with us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

      The method of delivery of your old notes and the letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that you use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or old note should be sent to us; instead, they should be sent to the exchange agent. You may request that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee effect the tender for you.

      Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution (as defined below) unless the old notes are being tendered:

(1)	by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or
(2)	for the account of an eligible institution.

      If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by a member of a signature guarantee program within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (an “eligible institution”).

      If the letter of transmittal or any old notes are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing, and unless we waive it, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

      We will determine, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered old notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not properly tendered or any old notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the instructions in the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties.

23

      Unless waived, you must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of your old notes within a time period we will determine. Although we intend to request that the exchange agent notify you of defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes, we will not, nor will the exchange agent or any other person, incur any liability for failure to give you any notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.

      In addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion (subject to the limitations contained in the indentures for the notes):

(1)	to purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date; and
(2)	to the extent permitted by applicable law, to purchase old notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

      The terms of any purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

      If you wish to tender your old notes and either your old notes are not immediately available, or you cannot deliver your old notes and other required documents to the exchange agent, or cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer prior to the expiration date, you may effect a tender if:

(1)	you make a tender through an eligible institution;
(2)	prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from the eligible institution (which may include through DTC’s system and procedures) a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) setting forth your name and address, the series and CUSIP number of the old notes, the certificate number(s) of the old notes (if available) and the principal amount of old notes tendered together with a duly executed letter of transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three business days after the expiration date, the certificate(s) representing the old notes to be tendered, in proper form for transfer (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC of old notes delivered electronically) and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and
(3)	the certificate(s) representing all tendered old notes in proper form for transfer (or confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC of old notes delivered electronically) and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three business days after the expiration date.

      Upon request to the exchange agent, you will be sent a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.

Withdrawal of Tenders

      Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw any tenders of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For your withdrawal to be effective, the exchange agent must receive a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal (or a withdrawal through

24

DTC’s system and procedures) at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, and prior to our acceptance for exchange. Any notice of withdrawal must:

(1)	specify the name of the person having tendered the old notes to be withdrawn;
(2)	identify the old notes to be withdrawn (including the series, CUSIP number, certificate number(s), if applicable, and principal amount of the old notes);
(3)	be signed in the same manner as the old signature on the letter of transmittal by which the old notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee with respect to the old notes register the transfer of the old notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and
(4)	specify the name in which any old notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person having tendered the old notes.

      We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of withdrawal notices in our sole discretion. This determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no new notes will be issued with respect to them unless the old notes so withdrawn are validly re-tendered. Any old notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange or which are withdrawn will be returned to you, without cost, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may re-tender properly withdrawn old notes by following one of the procedures described above under “— Procedures for Tendering” at any time prior to the expiration date.

Fees and Expenses

      We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders pursuant to the exchange offer. The principal solicitation for tenders pursuant to the exchange offer is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by telephone, telecopy, in person or by other means by our officers and regular employees and by officers and employees of our affiliates.

      We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. However, we will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the old notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange. We will pay the other expenses incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including fees and expenses of the trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs.

      We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, certificates representing new notes or old notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the old notes tendered, or if tendered old notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of any taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of any transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

      If you do not exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the old notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless the offer or sale is exempt from the registration requirements

25

under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreements, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act.

Other Considerations

      Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your decision on what action to take.

      No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the exchange offer other than those contained in this prospectus. If given or made, that information or those representations should not be relied upon as having been authorized by us. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any exchange made pursuant to the exchange offer will, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the respective dates as of which the information contained in this prospectus is given. The exchange offer is not being made to (and tenders will not be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of old notes in any jurisdiction in which the making of the exchange offer or the acceptance of the offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, we intend to take any action we deem necessary to permit the completion of the exchange offer in any jurisdiction and to extend the exchange offer to holders of old notes in that jurisdiction.

      We may in the future seek to acquire old notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer nor to file a registration statement to permit resales of any old notes.

Accounting Treatment

      The new notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the old notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the completion of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the term of the new notes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

USE OF PROCEEDS

      We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new notes offered by this prospectus. In consideration for issuing the new notes contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive the old notes of each series in like principal amount, the form and terms of which are substantially the same as the form and terms of the new notes of such series (which replace the old notes of such series, except as otherwise described in this prospectus, and which represent the same indebtedness). The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the new notes will not result in any increase or decrease in our indebtedness.

29

subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee andpari passuin right of payment with all existing and future unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor that are not so subordinated. The New Notes will be effectively subordinated to the obligations of each of CNH Global’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor of the New Notes. As of December 31, 2004, such non-Guarantor Subsidiaries had $3.8 billion of Indebtedness outstanding.

      The Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than the Guarantee of CNH Global) will be released:

(1)	in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person other than CNH Global or any Subsidiary of CNH Global and, prior to the time the Notes reach Investment Grade Status, so long as the sale complies with the provisions set forth under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales”;
(2)	in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a Person other than CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary of CNH Global, and prior to the time the Notes reach Investment Grade Status, so long as the sale or disposition complies with the provisions set forth under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders— Asset Sales”;
(3)	if CNH Global designates such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under “— Certain Covenants — Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries”; or
(4)	in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary which after the Issue Date is required to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to the covenant described under “— Certain Covenants — Issuance of Subsidiary Guarantees,” upon either (x) the release or discharge of the guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of CNH Global and Case New Holland which resulted in the obligation to so Guarantee the Notes or (y) the Notes reaching Investment Grade Status.

Except as provided under “— Certain Covenants — Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets,” the Guarantee of CNH Global may be released and discharged only with the consent of each Holder of Notes to which such Guarantee relates.

      The amount of each Guarantee will be limited to the extent required under applicable fraudulent conveyance laws to cause such Guarantee to be enforceable.

Additional Amounts

      All payments made by CNH Global or any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor under or with respect to a Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter,“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of The Netherlands or any other jurisdiction in which any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor is organized or is a resident for tax purposes or within or through which payment is made or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (any of the aforementioned being a“Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless CNH Global or such Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any such Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.

      If CNH Global or any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to a Guarantee of such Guarantor, CNH Global or such Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder of such Note (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction of such Taxes will not be less than the amount such Holder

30

would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Amounts will not be paid with respect to:

(1)	any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note, if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of such Note);
(2)	any estate, inheritance, gift, sales excise, transfer or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge, subject to the last paragraph of this covenant;
(3)	any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments under or with respect to the Guarantee of such Note;
(4)	any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note or beneficial owner of any payment on the Guarantee of such Note had (i) made a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to which it is entitled or (ii) complied with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner of such Note or any payment on such Note (provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required by the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of, such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required under the applicable law of the Taxing Jurisdiction, Holders at that time have been notified by CNH Global, any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of nonresidence or other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required to be made);
(5)	any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Note for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);
(6)	any payment under or with respect to a Note to any Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment or Note, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment, or Note would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;
(7)	any note where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to Council Directive 2003/48/EC of June 3, 2003 on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, that Directive; or
(8)	any combination of items (1) through (7) above.

      The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or discharge of either of the Indentures and shall applymutatis mutandisto any Taxing Jurisdiction with respect to any successor Person to CNH Global or a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor.

      CNH Global or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor will also make any applicable withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with

31

applicable law. CNH Global or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor. Copies of such receipts or other documentation will be made available to the Holders or the paying agents, as applicable, upon request.

      At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any Notes is due and payable, unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly paid thereafter, if CNH Global or any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee and the paying agent an officers’ certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable such Trustee and paying agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Notes on the payment date. Each officers’ certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further officers’ certificate addressing such matters.

      Whenever in the Indentures or in this “Description of Notes” there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or of any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

      CNH Global and the Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of their respective Guarantees of the Notes, the Indentures or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, excluding all such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside the United States in which CNH Global, any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor or any successor Person is organized or resident for tax purposes or any jurisdiction in which a paying agent is located, and CNH Global and the Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors will agree to indemnify the Holders of the Notes for any such non-excluded taxes paid by such Holders.

Optional Redemption

6% Notes

      Case New Holland may redeem the New 6% Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium (the“6% Notes Make-Whole Redemption”).

     9¹/4% Notes

      The New 9¹/4% Notes will be redeemable, at Case New Holland’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on and after August 1, 2007 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on August 1 of the applicable year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:

Year	Percentage
2007		104.625	%
2008		102.313	%
2009 and thereafter		100.000	%

32

      In addition, on or prior to August 1, 2007, Case New Holland may redeem the New 9¹/4% Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus the Make-Whole Premium (the“9¹/4% Notes Make-Whole Redemption” and together with the 6% Notes Make-Whole Redemption, a“Make-Whole Redemption”).

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to August 1, 2006, Case New Holland may, at its option, use all or any portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined below) to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9¹/4% Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 109.25% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption;providedthat at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of 9¹/4% Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption. In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Qualified Equity Offering, Case New Holland shall consummate such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

      As used in the preceding paragraph,“Qualified Equity Offering”means any public or private offering of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global (other than any such offering to a Subsidiary of CNH Global) to the extent that the net cash proceeds therefrom are contributed to the common equity capital of Case New Holland or are used to subscribe from Case New Holland shares of its Qualified Capital Stock.

Redemption of Notes for Changes in Withholding Taxes

      Case New Holland may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Notes of either series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. This redemption applies only if at such time CNH Global or any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor is then making payments to the Holders of the Notes of such series pursuant to its Guarantee of the Notes of such series and as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws or treaties (including any rulings or regulations promulgated thereunder) of The Netherlands or any other jurisdiction in which CNH Global or any Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor is organized or is a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein (or, in the case of Additional Amounts payable by a successor Person to CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor, of the jurisdiction in which such successor Person is organized or is a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein) or any amendment to or change in any official position concerning the interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rulings or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which amendment or change is effective on or after the Issue Date (or, in the case of Additional Amounts payable by a successor Person to CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor, the date on which such successor Person became such pursuant to applicable provisions of the Indentures), that CNH Global or a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as described above under “— Additional Amounts”) on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to its Guarantee of the Notes and CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor determines in good faith that (x) such Additional Amounts would be material and (y) such obligation cannot be avoided (including, without limitation, by changing the jurisdiction from which or through which payment is made) by the use of reasonable measures available to CNH Global or such Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor.

      No such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which CNH Global or a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of its Guarantee of the Notes of either series then due or later than 180 days after such amendment or change referred to in the preceding paragraph. At the time such notice of redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Immediately prior to the mailing of any notice of redemption described above, Case New Holland shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that Case New Holland is entitled to elect to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of Case New Holland so to elect to redeem have

33

occurred and (ii) an opinion of counsel qualified under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that CNH Global or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor or such successor Person, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such amendment or change.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

      In the event that less than all of the Notes of either series are to be redeemed at any time, selection of the Notes of such series for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate;providedthat:

•  no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; and

•  with respect to the 9¹/4% Notes, if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of a Qualified Equity Offering, selection of the 9¹/4% Notes or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the Trustee only on apro ratabasis or on as nearly apro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited.

      Notice of an optional redemption shall be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as Case New Holland has deposited with the paying agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the applicable Indenture.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

      Each of the Indentures provide that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that Case New Holland purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the“Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the“Change of Control Payment”).

      Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurs, Case New Holland must send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the“Change of Control Payment Date”). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

      On the Change of Control Payment Date, Case New Holland will, to the extent lawful:

(1)	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)	deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

34

(3)  deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by Case New Holland.

      The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new Note in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any;provided, however, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

      If a Change of Control Offer is required to be made, there can be no assurance that Case New Holland will have available funds sufficient to pay the Change of Control purchase price for all the Notes that might be delivered by Holders seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. In the event Case New Holland is required to purchase outstanding Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, Case New Holland may seek third party financing to the extent it does not have available funds to meet its purchase obligations. However, there can be no assurance that Case New Holland would be able to obtain such financing.

      Neither Case New Holland nor the Trustee may waive the covenant relating to a Holder’s right to require the purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control. Restrictions in the Indentures described herein on the ability of CNH Global and the Restricted Subsidiaries to incur additional Indebtedness, to grant Liens on their property, to make Restricted Payments and to make Asset Sales may also make more difficult or discourage a takeover of CNH Global, whether favored or opposed by the management of CNH Global. Consummation of any such transaction in certain circumstances may require the purchase of the Notes, and there can be no assurance that CNH Global or the acquiring party will have sufficient financial resources to effect such purchase. Such restrictions and the restrictions on transactions with Affiliates may, in certain circumstances, make more difficult or discourage any leveraged buyout of CNH Global or any of its Subsidiaries by the management of CNH Global. While such restrictions cover a wide variety of arrangements which have traditionally been used to effect highly leveraged transactions, the Indentures may not afford the Holders protection in all circumstances from the adverse aspects of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction.

      Case New Holland will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the “Change of Control” provisions of the Indentures, Case New Holland shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the “Change of Control” provisions of the Indentures by virtue thereof.

Asset Sales

      CNH Global will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)	CNH Global or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;
(2)	at least 75% of the consideration received by CNH Global or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition;providedthat the amount of:

(a)  any liabilities (as shown on CNH Global’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet), of CNH Global or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than (x) contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes and (y) Indebtedness owed to CNH Global and its Subsidiaries) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this clause (2); and

35

(b)  any securities, notes or other obligations received by CNH Global or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by CNH Global or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 365 days following the closing of such Asset Sale shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this clause (2); and

(3)  upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, CNH Global shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days after receipt thereof either to:

(A)  repay Indebtedness under any Credit Facility under which CNH Global or such Restricted Subsidiary is an obligor and permanently retire such Indebtedness,

(B)	acquire (or enter into a binding agreement to acquire, which acquisition must be consummated within 180 days after the end of the 365-day period following receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds) Replacement Assets, or
(C)	a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (3)(A) and (3)(B).

      On the 366th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of CNH Global or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of the preceding paragraph (each, a“Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (3)(A), (3)(B) and (3)(C) of the preceding paragraph (each a“Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by Case New Holland to make an offer to purchase (the“Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such Pari Passu Debt, on a date (the“Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders (and holders of such Pari Passu Debt) on apro ratabasis, that principal amount of Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (and Pari Passu Debt) to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase;provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration) or Cash Equivalents, then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this covenant.

      Notwithstanding the first two paragraphs of this covenant, CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to enter into and consummate one or more Permitted Asset Swaps without complying with such paragraphs (except to the extent of any Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with such Permitted Asset Swap which shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this covenant) to the extent that at the time of entering into each such Permitted Asset Swap and immediately after giving effect to such Permitted Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

      Case New Holland may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $25.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales or deemed Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $25.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). The first such date the aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or in excess of $25.0 million shall be treated for this purpose as the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date.

      Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, CNH Global or any such Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds to temporarily reduce Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility or other Indebtedness included under “Current Liabilities” on CNH Global’s consolidated balance

36

sheet or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by either of the Indentures.

      Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in the Indentures. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes and holders of Pari Passu Debt properly tender such Pari Passu Debt in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Notes and Pari Passu Debt will be purchased on apro ratabasis based on aggregate amounts of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered. A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law. If the principal amount of Notes tendered in response to the Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, such funds will no longer constitute Net Cash Proceeds and may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by either of the Indentures.

      Case New Holland will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the “Asset Sale” provisions of the Indentures, Case New Holland shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the “Asset Sale” provisions of the Indentures by virtue thereof.

      CNH Global will not permit any Unrestricted Financial Services Subsidiary to consummate a transaction that would constitute an Asset Sale had it been consummated by a Restricted Subsidiary unless such Unrestricted Financial Services Subsidiary receives Fair Market Value for the assets, net of any liabilities assumed, sold or disposed of.

Certain Covenants

     Covenant Termination.The Indentures provide that the restrictive covenants described in the paragraphs following this “Covenant Termination” section will be applicable to CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries unless the Notes of either series reach Investment Grade Status. Immediately after either series of Notes have reached Investment Grade Status, and notwithstanding that the Notes of such series may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from either or both of the Rating Agencies, CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be released from their obligations to comply with these restrictive covenants in respect of such series of Notes, except for the covenants described under the following headings:

(2)	Indebtedness of CNH Global and its Equipment Subsidiaries incurred pursuant to one or more Credit Facilities;provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Net Indebtedness at any time outstanding shall not exceed $2.0 billion, less the amount of any such Indebtedness permanently retired with the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale applied from and after August 1, 2003 to reduce the amounts outstanding thereunder pursuant to the covenant described under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales”;

(5)	Hedging Obligations of CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that are incurred in the ordinary course of business;provided, however, that such Hedging Obligations are entered into, in the good faith judgment of CNH Global, to protect CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries from (a) fluctuations in interest rates on Indebtedness incurred in accordance with the Indentures, (b) fluctuations in foreign currency rates, (c) commodity price risk with respect to commodities purchased by CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary or (d) any combination of the foregoing, and, in each case, not for speculative purposes;
(6)	Indebtedness or Preferred Stock of an Equipment Subsidiary to CNH Global or another Equipment Subsidiary for so long as such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock is held by CNH Global or an Equipment Subsidiary;providedthat (A) any Indebtedness of Case New Holland to CNH Global or any other Equipment Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated, pursuant to a written agreement, to Case New Holland’s obligations under the Indentures and the Notes and (B) if as of any date any Person other than CNH Global or an Equipment Subsidiary owns or holds any such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness (other than any Lien permitted by clause (B) of paragraph (a) under “— Limitation on Liens”), such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness or the issuance of Preferred Stock, as the case may be, not constituting Permitted Indebtedness by the issuer of such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock;

38

(7)	Indebtedness of a Financial Services Subsidiary to another Financial Services Subsidiary for so long as such Indebtedness is held by a Financial Services Subsidiary;providedthat if as of any date any Person other than a Financial Services Subsidiary owns or holds any such Indebtedness or holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness (other than any Lien permitted by clause (B) of paragraph (a) under “— Limitation on Liens”), such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness by the issuer of such Indebtedness;
(8)	Indebtedness of CNH Global to a Restricted Subsidiary for so long as such Indebtedness is held by a Restricted Subsidiary;providedthat (A) any Indebtedness of CNH Global to any Restricted Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated, pursuant to a written agreement, to CNH Global’s obligations under the Indentures and the Guarantee of CNH Global and (B) if as of any date any Person other than a Restricted Subsidiary owns or holds any such Indebtedness or any Person holds a Lien in respect of such Indebtedness (other than any Lien permitted by clause (B) of paragraph (a) under “— Limitation on Liens”), such date shall be deemed the incurrence of Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness by CNH Global;
(9)	Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft (including, without limitation, any overdraft (including any daylight overdraft)) or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business;provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within fifteen Business Days after receipt of notice from such bank or other financial institution;

      For purposes of determining compliance with this “Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant:

(1)

in the event that an item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (15) of the second paragraph of this covenant, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, CNH Global may, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock on the date of its incurrence or, subject to clause (2) below, later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant;

(2)

(a) Indebtedness of CNH Global or any Equipment Subsidiary under any Existing Credit Facility outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (2) of the second paragraph of this covenant and CNH Global will not be permitted to reclassify any portion of such Indebtedness thereafter, (b) Indebtedness of any Financial Services Subsidiary to CNH Global or any Equipment Subsidiary will be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (3) of the second paragraph of this covenant and (c) Non-Recourse Accounts Receivable Subsidiary

39

	Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (13) of the second paragraph of this covenant;
(3)	accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant;
(4)	the maximum amount of Indebtedness that CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies; and
(5)	the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date the Indebtedness was incurred, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, or the Preferred Stock was issued, as applicable;providedthat if any Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such outstanding Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced.

      Additionally, CNH Global will not, and will not permit any other Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of CNH Global or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or any Guarantee of such Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of CNH Global or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

     Limitation on Restricted Payments. CNH Global will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(a)	declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution (other than (i) dividends or distributions payable in Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global and (ii) in the case of Restricted Subsidiaries, dividends or distributions to CNH Global or any other Restricted Subsidiary andpro rata dividends or distributions payable to the other holders of the same class of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) on or in respect of shares of its Capital Stock to holders of such Capital Stock;
(b)	purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of CNH Global or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire shares of any class of such Capital Stock;
(c)	make any principal payment on, purchase, defease, redeem, prepay, decrease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness of CNH Global or any Guarantor that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes (other than a purchase, defeasance, redemption, prepayment, decrease or other acquisition or retirement for value in anticipation of satisfying a scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, in each case, due within one year of the date of such acquisition or retirement); or
(d)	make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments)

40

(each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as a“Restricted Payment”), if at the time of such Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto:

(1)	a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(2)	CNH Global is not able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described under “— Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; or
(3)	the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments (including such proposed Restricted Payment) made after August 1, 2003 (the amount expended for such purpose, if other than in cash, being the Fair Market Value of such property) shall exceed the sum of:

(w)  50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such loss) of CNH Global earned during the period beginning on October 1, 2003 and ending on the last date of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available prior to the date such Restricted Payment (the “Reference Date”) (treating such period as a single accounting period);plus

(x)	100% of the net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of any property or assets) received by CNH Global from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of CNH Global) subsequent to August 1, 2003 and on or prior to the Reference Date (a) as a contribution to the common equity capital of CNH Global by any holder of CNH Global’s Capital Stock or (b) from the issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global (excluding, in the case of the 91/4% Notes, any net proceeds from a Qualified Equity Offering to the extent used to redeem Notes);plus
(y)	without duplication of any amounts included in clause (3)(x) above, the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of CNH Global or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on CNH Global’s consolidated balance sheet subsequent to August 1, 2003 and on or prior to the Reference Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Indebtedness for Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global (other than to the extent of any Qualified Capital Stock issued to any Subsidiary of CNH Global);plus
(z)	with duplication, the sum of:

(1)	the aggregate amount returned in cash on or with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made subsequent to August 1, 2003 whether through interest payments, principal payments, dividends or other distributions or payments;
(2)	the net cash proceeds received by CNH Global or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from the disposition of all or any portion of such Investments (other than to a Subsidiary of CNH Global); and
(3)	upon Revocation of the status of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Fair Market Value of CNH Global’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Investment in such Subsidiary;

provided, however, that the sum of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above shall not exceed the sum of (I) the aggregate amount of all such Investments made subsequent to the Issue Date and (II) without duplication of clause (I), one half of the gain from any disposition of all or any portion of such Investments (other than to a Subsidiary of CNH Global) made subsequent to August 1, 2003.

41

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph do not prohibit:

(1)	the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend if the dividend would have been permitted on the date of declaration;
(2)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the acquisition of any shares of Capital Stock of CNH Global, either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global or (ii) through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of CNH Global) of shares of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global;
(3)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the acquisition of any Indebtedness of Case New Holland or any Guarantor that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global, or (ii) through the application of the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of CNH Global) of (a) shares of Qualified Capital Stock of CNH Global or (b) Refinancing Indebtedness;
(4)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, repurchases by CNH Global of Capital Stock (or rights or options therefor) of CNH Global from employees of CNH Global or any Subsidiary or their authorized representatives, upon the death, disability or termination of employment of such employees, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.5 million in any calendar year;

(6)	if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, commencing in calendar year 2005, the payment of cash dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the Issue Date in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in any calendar year; and
(7)	additional Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20.0 million.

      In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to August 1, 2003 in accordance with clause (3) of the first paragraph of this covenant, amounts expended pursuant to clauses (1), (2)(ii), (3)(ii)(a), (4), (5) and (6) shall be included in such calculation.

     Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. CNH Global will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective, any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)	pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;
(b)	make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to CNH Global or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or
(c)	transfer any of its property or assets to CNH Global or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

      except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reasons of:

(1)  any agreements (including, without limitation, any Existing Credit Facility) existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof;provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in such agreements on the Issue Date;

42

(2)	any Credit Facility or any Indebtedness incurred under clause (3) of the covenant described under “ — Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” if (x) either (i) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of and during the continuance of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant contained in such Indebtedness or agreement or (ii) either senior management or the Board of Directors of CNH Global determines at the time any such Indebtedness is incurred (and at the time of any modification of the terms of any such encumbrance or restriction) that any such encumbrance or restriction will not affect the ability of Case New Holland to make principal or interest payments on the Notes as and when due and (y) the encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings or agreements (as determined in good faith by either senior management or the Board of Directors of CNH Global);
(3)	the Indentures, the Notes and the Guarantees;
(4)	applicable law, rule, regulation or order;
(5)	customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of any Restricted Subsidiary;

(8)	customary restrictions on the transfer of any property or assets arising under a security agreement governing a Lien permitted under the Indentures;
(9)	any agreement governing Refinancing Indebtedness;provided, however, that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Indebtedness are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than the provisions relating to such encumbrances or restrictions contained in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(10)	any agreement governing the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of any Restricted Subsidiary which restricts dividends and distributions pending such sale or disposition; and
(11)	Non-Recourse Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of an Accounts Receivable Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;providedthat such restrictions apply only to such Accounts Receivable Subsidiary or Qualified Receivables Assets which are subject to a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

     Limitation on Liens.(a) CNH Global will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of CNH Global or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:

(1)	in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, the Notes or such Guarantee are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and
(2)	in all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured,

43

(2)

(A) in the case of a Subsidiary other than a Financial Services Subsidiary, (i) prior to reaching Investment Grade Status, CNH Global would be permitted under the Indentures to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under “ — Limitation on Restricted Payments” at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of CNH Global’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Investment in such Subsidiary on such date and (ii) from and after the date the Notes reach Investment Grade Status, the Fair Market Value of CNH Global’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ outstanding Investments (calculated at the time such Investment is made) in (x) any such Subsidiary may not exceed $1.0 million and (y) all such Subsidiaries may not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate, and (B) in the case of a Financial Services Subsidiary, immediately prior to or concurrently with such Designation, such Financial Services Subsidiary shall have repaid all Indebtedness owed to CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and terminated all related commitments) and returned, in cash or Cash Equivalents or a combination thereof, an amount equal to all Investments made subsequent to the Issue Date in such Financial Services Subsidiary by CNH Global and its Restricted Subsidiaries except to the extent such return would cause such Financial Services Subsidiary to violate applicable capital adequacy or other regulatory requirements, in which case such obligation to return Investments made after the Issue Date shall, to the extent of any amount of Investment the return of which would violate such requirements, be deferred until the date of any Permitted Financial Services Disposition in respect of such Subsidiary.

      The Indentures further provide that CNH Global shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

except, in the case of clause (x) or (y), to the extent permitted under the covenant described under “— Limitation on Restricted Payments.”

      The Indentures further provide that CNH Global may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (“Revocation”), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if:

(1)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time and after giving effect to such Revocation;

(2)

immediately after giving effect to such Revocation, (i) in the case of an Unrestricted Subsidiary not constituting an Unrestricted Financial Services Subsidiary, CNH Global would be permitted to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described under “ — Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and (ii) in the case of an Unrestricted Subsidiary constituting an Unrestricted Financial Services Subsidiary, a Financial Services Subsidiary of CNH Global would be permitted to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to clause

49

	(3) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness set forth in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “— Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; and
(3)	all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of the Indentures.

In addition, CNH Global has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Events of Default

      The following events are defined in each of the Indentures as“Events of Default”:

(1)	the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;
(2)	the failure to pay the principal of any Notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer);
(3)	a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indentures which default continues for a period of 30 days after Case New Holland receives written notice specifying the default from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to the covenant described under “— Certain Covenants — Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets,” which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

52

(4)	a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of CNH Global or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by CNH Global or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) but excluding Non-Recourse Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Indebtedness, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness after any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a“payment default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million;
(5)	one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $75.0 million not covered by adequate insurance shall have been rendered against CNH Global or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable;
(6)	certain events of bankruptcy as set forth in each Indenture affecting CNH Global, Case New Holland or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of CNH Global that, together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or
(7)	any Guarantee of any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantee of such Guarantor is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guarantee of such Guarantor is found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture).

      If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above) shall occur and be continuing under the Indenture relating to either series of Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable by notice in writing to Case New Holland and (if given by the Holders) the Trustee specifying the respective Events of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above occurs with respect to CNH Global or Case New Holland and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes of such series shallipso factobecome and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

      Each Indenture provides that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to either series of Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(1)	if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;
(2)	if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;
(3)	to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;
(4)	if Case New Holland has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and
(5)	in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (6) of the description above of Events of Default, the Trustee shall have received an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

53

      No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

      The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of either series may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under the applicable Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Notes of such series.

      Holders of the Notes of either series may not enforce the applicable Indenture or the Notes of such series except as provided in the applicable Indenture and under the TIA. Subject to the provisions of each Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights, or powers under either Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of each Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of either series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

      Under each of the Indentures, Case New Holland is required to provide an officers’ certificate to the Trustee promptly upon Case New Holland obtaining knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (provided that Case New Holland shall provide such certification at least annually whether or not it knows of any Default or Event of Default) that has occurred and, if applicable, describe such Default or Event of Default and the status thereof.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

      Case New Holland may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of any Guarantors discharged with respect to either series of outstanding Notes (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that Case New Holland shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such series, except for:

(1)	the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series when such payments are due;
(2)	Case New Holland’s obligations with respect to the Notes of such series concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;
(3)	the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Case New Holland’s obligations in connection therewith; and
(4)	the Legal Defeasance provisions of the applicable Indenture.

      In addition, Case New Holland may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of Case New Holland released with respect to certain covenants that are described in either of the Indentures (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission or failure to comply, with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including nonpayment, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization and insolvency events) described under “— Events of Default” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes.

      In order to exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1)  Case New Holland must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm selected by Case New Holland, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such series of Notes on the stated date of payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;providedthat the Trustee shall have received an irrevocable written order from

54

BOOK-ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM

The Global Notes

      New notes offered pursuant to the exchange offer will be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (collectively, the“Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited on the issue date with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or will remain in the custody of the trustee pursuant to the FAST Balance Certificate Agreement between DTC and the trustee.

      Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, solely to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) except in the limited circumstances described below.

      All interests in the Global Notes may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC.

Certain Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes

      The descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC set forth below are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to change by them from time to time. We do not take any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and investors are urged to contact the relevant system or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

      DTC has advised us that it is:

•  a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

•  a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law;

•  a member of the Federal Reserve System;

•  a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended; and

•  a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

      DTC was created to hold securities for its participants (collectively, the“Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical transfer and delivery of certificates. DTC’s Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchaser), banks and trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies (collectively, the“Indirect Participants”) that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through Participants or Indirect Participants.

      We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (1) upon deposit of each Global Note, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the initial purchaser with an interest in the Global Note and (2) ownership of the notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the interests of Participants) and the records of Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to the interests of persons other than Participants).

      The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the notes represented by a Global Note to such persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest in notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to persons

77

or entities that do not participate in DTC’s system, or to otherwise take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest.

      So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the indentures. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indentures for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee thereunder. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such holder is not a Participant or an Indirect Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indentures or such Global Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event that we request any action of holders of notes, or a holder that is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of such Global Note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the Participants to take such action and the Participants would authorize holders owning through such Participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instruction of such holders. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of notes by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to such notes.

      Payments with respect to the principal of, and premium, if any, liquidated damages, if any, and interest on, any notes represented by a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee on the applicable record date will be payable by the trustee to or at the direction of DTC or its nominee in its capacity as the registered holder of the Global Note representing such notes under the indentures. Under the terms of the indentures, we and the trustee may treat the persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving payment thereon and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Accordingly, neither we nor the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of such amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, liquidated damages, if any, and interest). Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and DTC.

      Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds.

Certificated Notes

      If:

•  we notify the trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to act as a depositary or DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of such notice or cessation; or

•  an event of default has occurred and is continuing and the registrar has received a request from DTC to issue Certificated Notes,

then, upon surrender by DTC of the Global Notes, Certificated Notes will be issued to each person that DTC identifies as the beneficial owner of the notes represented by the Global Notes. Upon any such issuance, the trustee is required to register such Certificated Notes in the name of such person or persons (or the nominee of any thereof) and cause the same to be delivered thereto.

      Neither we nor the trustee shall be liable for any delay by DTC or any Participant or Indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related notes and each such person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the notes to be issued).

78

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

      The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the new notes by beneficial owners (for purposes of this discussion, “Holders”) that will receive new notes pursuant to the exchange offer and that will hold the new notes as capital assets. This summary is based on the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements and judicial interpretations, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). This summary is intended for general information only, and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the particular circumstances of Holders, or to Holders that may be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules (such as dealers in securities or foreign currencies, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, financial institutions, partnerships and other pass-through entities, expatriates, tax-exempt organizations, United States Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons who own 10% or more of our common shares, persons who hold new notes as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction or other risk reduction transaction and persons who may be or become subject to the alternative minimum tax). Furthermore, this summary does not address any state, local or foreign tax implications, or any aspect of U.S. federal tax law other than income taxation.

     PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NEW NOTES BASED UPON THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.

      For purposes of this discussion, a “United States Holder” means a Holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) in existence on August 20, 1996 with respect to which an election has been properly made to continue to treat the trust as a United States person under the Code. Correspondingly, a “Foreign Holder” is a Holder that is neither a United States Holder nor a partnership. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of a partner in a partnership holding new notes generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership holding new notes should consult their own tax advisors.

Treatment of Exchanges under Exchange Offer

      The exchange of old notes for new notes will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A Holder will not realize any taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging old notes for new notes, and the Holder will have the same tax basis and holding period in the new notes as the Holder had in the old notes immediately before the exchange.

United States Holders

Payments of Stated Interest

      Generally, stated interest payable on a new note will be taxable to a United States Holder as ordinary interest income at the time the interest is accrued or received in accordance with the United States Holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

79

Original Issue Discount

      The 6% notes were issued with original issue discount (“OID”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The 9¹/4% notes were not issued with OID.

      OID is the excess of a note’s “stated redemption price at maturity” over its “issue price”. A note’s stated redemption price at maturity is the sum of all payments provided by the note (whether designated as interest or principal) other than payments of “qualified stated interest”, which is, in general, interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property at least annually at a single fixed rate. The stated redemption price at maturity of a new note will be the same as that of the old note. The issue price of a new note is the issue price of the old note exchanged for such new note, which is the first price at which a substantial amount of old notes in the issuance that included such old note was sold for money (excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers).

      The OID accrual schedule for a new note will be the same as that of the old note. A United States Holder of notes issued with OID generally is required to include the OID in income as it accrues in accordance with the constant yield method described below, irrespective of the receipt of the related cash payments, and regardless of its regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A United States Holder’s tax basis in an old note has been, and in a new note will be, increased by each accrual of OID and decreased by each payment on such note other than a payment of qualified stated interest.

      The amount of OID includible in the income of a United States Holder for any taxable year is determined under the constant yield method, in four steps.

      First, the “yield to maturity” of a note is computed. The yield to maturity is the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value of all interest and principal payments to be made under the note (including payments of qualified stated interest), produces an amount equal to the issue price of the note. The yield to maturity is constant over the term of the note and, when expressed as a percentage, must be calculated to at least two decimal places.

      Second, the term of the note is divided into “accrual periods”. Accrual periods may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the note, provided that each accrual period is not longer than one year and that each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs either on the final day of an accrual period or on the first day of an accrual period.

      Third, the total amount of OID on the note is allocated among accrual periods. In general, the OID allocable to an accrual period equals the product of the “adjusted issue price” of the note at the beginning of the accrual period and the yield to maturity of the note, less the amount of any qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period. The adjusted issue price of a note at the beginning of the first accrual period is its issue price. Thereafter, the adjusted issue price of the note is its issue price, increased by the amount of OID previously includible in the gross income of any United States Holder and decreased by the amount of any payment previously made on the note other than a payment of qualified stated interest. For purposes of computing the adjusted issue price of a note, the amount of OID previously includible in the gross income of any United States Holder is determined without regard to “amortizable bond premium” and “acquisition premium”, as those terms are defined below.

      Fourth, the “daily portions” of OID are determined by allocating to each day in an accrual period its ratable portion of the OID allocable to the accrual period.

      A United States Holder includes in income in any taxable year the daily portions of OID for each day during the taxable year that the United States Holder held the notes. In general, under the constant yield method described above, United States Holders are required to include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods.

      In the case of a note that is redeemable at our option, the maturity and the yield to maturity of the note are determined by assuming that we will exercise our option in a manner that minimizes the yield available to the United States Holder.

80

Amortizable Bond Premium

      If a United States Holder acquired an old note or acquires a new note for an amount in excess of its principal amount, such U.S. Holder will be considered to have purchased such note with “amortizable bond premium” in an amount equal to such excess. Generally, a United States Holder may elect to amortize such premium as an offset to interest income (using a constant yield method of accrual), in which case the OID includible in gross income will be zero and the amount required to be included in the United States Holder’s income each year with respect to interest on the note will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond premium allocable to that year for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The premium amortization is calculated assuming that we will exercise redemption rights in a manner that maximizes the United States Holder’s yield. A United States Holder that elects to amortize bond premium must reduce its tax basis in the note by the amount of the premium used to offset interest income as set forth above. Any such election would apply to all debt obligations (other than debt obligations the interest on which is excludable from gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the United States Holder at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies or thereafter acquired by the United States Holder, and is irrevocable without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability, and consequences, of an election to amortize bond premium for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Acquisition Premium

      If a United States Holder acquired an old note or acquires a new note for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price but less than the stated redemption price at maturity of the note, the United States Holder will be considered to have acquired such note at an “acquisition premium” equal to the amount of the difference between the United States Holder’s purchase price and the “adjusted issue price” of the note. The adjusted issue price of a note is the sum of the issue price, increased by the amount of OID previously includable in the gross income of all holders of such note for periods prior to the acquisition date and reduced by the amount of any payment previously made on the note other than a payment of stated interest. In general, the amount of OID that such United States Holder must include in gross income with respect to a note for any taxable year will be reduced by an amount equal to the product of OID otherwise required to be included in gross income and a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such acquisition premium and the denominator of which is the amount of the OID remaining from the date that the note was purchased to its maturity date. As an alternative to reducing the amount of OID otherwise includible in income by multiplying such OID by this fraction, the United States Holder may elect to compute OID accruals by treating the acquisition as an acquisition at original issuance and applying the constant yield method described above under “— Original Issue Discount”. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.

Market Discount

      If a United States Holder acquired an old note or acquires a new note for an amount that is less than its stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of a note issued with OID, its adjusted issue price as of the purchase date, the amount of such difference will be treated as market discount, unless such difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Unless a United States Holder elects to accrue market discount as described below, a United States Holder will be required to treat any principal payment on (or, in the case of a note with OID, any payment that is not qualified stated interest), or any gain recognized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount that has not previously been included in gross income. If a United States Holder disposes of such a note in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions, the United States Holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of accrued market discount on the note as if the United States Holder had disposed of the note in a taxable transaction at the note’s fair market value.

      In general, the amount of market discount that has accrued is determined on a ratable basis. A United States Holder may, however, elect to determine the amount of accrued market discount on a constant-yield-to-maturity basis. This election is made on a note-by-note basis and is irrevocable.

81

      With respect to notes with market discount, the ability of a United States Holder to deduct immediately the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to acquire or carry such notes may be limited. A United States Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule set forth in the preceding sentence does not apply. Such an election applies to all debt instruments acquired by the United States Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and is irrevocable without the consent of the IRS. A United States Holder’s tax basis in a note is increased by the amount of market discount included in the United States Holders’ income under the election.

Dispositions of New Notes

      In general, upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a new note, a United States Holder will recognize capital gain or loss (subject to the market discount rules described above under “— Market Discount”) equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (not including any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore will be taxable as described above under “— Interest”) and such United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the new note. A United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a new note generally will equal the cost of the old note to such United States Holder, increased by any OID and market discount previously included in the United States Holder’s gross income in respect of the old note or the new note and reduced by (i) any principal payments received by such United States Holder and (ii) the amount of any amortizable bond premium applied to reduce interest inclusions with respect to the old note or the new note. Any amount attributable to accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income will be taxed in the manner described above under “— Market Discount”.

��     Gain or loss on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a new note generally will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of the new note (which includes the holding period of the old note) is more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, net long-term capital gains of noncorporate United States Holders (including individuals) are eligible for taxation at lower rates than ordinary income. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

Foreign Holders

Payments of Interest

      Payments of interest (including OID) on a new note by us or any paying agent to a Foreign Holder will not be subject to the withholding of U.S. federal income tax, provided that:

•  the Foreign Holder does not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote;

•  the Foreign Holder is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the Code) related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership;

•  the Foreign Holder is not a bank whose receipt of interest on the new note is described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(A); and

•  the certification requirements under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c) and the Treasury regulations thereunder, as described generally below, are met.

      For purposes of Code Sections 871(h) and 881(c) and the Treasury regulations thereunder, in order to obtain the exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax described above, either (1) the Foreign Holder must provide its name and address, and certify, under penalties of perjury, to us or our paying agent, as the case may be, that such Holder is not a United States person or (2) the Foreign Holder must hold its new notes through certain intermediaries and both the Foreign Holder and the relevant intermediary must satisfy

82

the certification requirements of applicable Treasury regulations. A certificate described in this paragraph is generally effective only with respect to payments of interest made to the certifying Foreign Holder after issuance of the certificate in the calendar year of its issuance and the three immediately succeeding calendar years. Under Treasury regulations, the foregoing certification generally may be provided by a Foreign Holder on IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable W-8 form). Special rules apply to foreign partnerships. In general, a foreign partnership will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8IMY and attach thereto an appropriate certification from each partner. Partners in foreign partnerships are urged to consult their tax advisors.

      Payments of interest (including OID) on a new note that do not satisfy all of the foregoing requirements generally will be subject to the withholding of U.S. federal income tax unless the Foreign Holder provides to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty.

      If the interest income in respect of a new note is effectively connected with the conduct by the Foreign Holder of a U.S. trade or business (and, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the Foreign Holder), then such interest income generally will be exempt from the withholding described above, and instead will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated tax rates applicable to United States Holders. In such a case, a Foreign Holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI to us or our paying agent in order to avoid the withholding of U.S. federal income tax in respect of effectively connected interest income. In certain circumstances, a Foreign Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” (currently at a 30% rate or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate).

Dispositions of New Notes

      In general, a Foreign Holder of a new note will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a new note unless:

•  such Foreign Holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of any such disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

•  the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the Foreign Holder (and, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the Foreign Holder).

      In certain circumstances, a Foreign Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” (currently at a 30% rate or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate).

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

U.S. Holders

      Under current U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding at specified rates and information reporting requirements apply to certain payments of principal, interest and OID made to, and to the proceeds of sale before maturity by, certain noncorporate United States Holders of new notes. Backup withholding will apply to a United States Holder if:

•  such United States Holder fails to furnish its Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) (which, for an individual, is his or her Social Security Number) to the payor in the manner required;

•  such United States Holder furnishes an incorrect TIN and the payor is so notified by the IRS;

•  the payor is notified by the IRS that such United States Holder has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

83

•  under certain circumstances, such United States Holder fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest or dividend payments.

      Backup withholding does not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, including corporations (within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)), tax-exempt organizations or qualified pension and profit-sharing trusts.

      Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a United States Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such United States Holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS.

      United States Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification and eligibility for exemption from backup withholding, and the application of information reporting requirements, in their particular situations.

Foreign Holders

      Backup withholding will not apply to payments of principal or interest made by us or our paying agent on a new note if such Foreign Holder has provided the required certification under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person or has otherwise established an exemption (absent our actual knowledge or reason to know that the Foreign Holder is actually a United States Holder). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a Foreign Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Foreign Holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS.

      We must report annually to the IRS on IRS Form 1042-S the amount of interest paid on a new note and the amount of tax withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting those interest payments and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Foreign Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Information reporting may also apply to payments made outside the United States, and payments on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a new note effected outside the United States, if payment is made by a payor that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

•  a United States person;

•  a controlled foreign corporation;

•  a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or foreign insurance company;

•  a foreign partnership controlled by United States persons or engaged in a U.S. trade or business; or

•  a foreign person, 50% or more of whose gross income is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business for a specified three-year period;

unless such payor has in its records documentary evidence that the beneficial owner is not a United States Holder and certain other conditions are met or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

      Foreign Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification and eligibility for exemption from backup withholding, and the application of information reporting requirements, in their particular situations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      Based on interpretations by the SEC staff set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, including the Exxon Capital and Morgan Stanley no-action letters and similar no-action letters, we believe that you may transfer new notes issued in the exchange offer in exchange for the old notes if:

•  you acquire the new notes in the ordinary course of business;

•  you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the old notes or the new notes;

•  you are not an “affiliate” of us (as defined under the Securities Act) or if you are an affiliate of us, that you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable; and

•  you are not a broker-dealer, and you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, the distribution of the new notes.

      If you are an affiliate of us or if you tender in the exchange offer with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of the new notes, you may not rely on the position of the SEC staff enunciated in the Exxon Capital and Morgan Stanley letters and similar letters, but rather must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. In addition, any such resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

      Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date and ending on the close of business one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until                     , 2005, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

      We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      For a period of one year after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holder of the old notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.                               Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Australia

      CNH Australia Pty Ltd. (“CNH Australia”), one of the guarantors, is incorporated in Australia.

      Section 199A(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (the “Corporations Act”) provides that a company or a related body corporate must not exempt a person from a liability to the company incurred as an officer of the company.

      Section 199A(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person against any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer of the company:

•  a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate;

•  a liability for a pecuniary penalty order or compensation order under section 1317G, section 1317H or section 1317HA of the Corporations Act;

•  a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate and did not arise out of conduct in good faith.

      Section 199A(2) does not apply to a liability for legal costs.

      Section 199A(3) provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person against legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer of the company if the costs are incurred:

•  in defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability for which they could not be indemnified under section 199A(2); or

•  in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty; or

•  in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (this does not apply to costs incurred in responding to actions taken by ASIC or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for the court order); or

•  in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the court denies the relief.

      Section 199B of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not pay, or agree to pay, a premium for a contract insuring a person who is or has been an officer of the company against a liability (other than one for legal costs) arising out of:

•  conduct involving a willful breach of any duty in relation to the company; or

•  a contravention of the officer’s duties under the Corporations Act not to improperly use their position or make improper use of information obtained as an officer.

      For the purpose of sections 199A and 199B, an “officer” of a company includes:

•  a director or secretary;

•  a person who makes, or participates in making, decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the business of the company;

•  a person who has the capacity to significantly affect the company’s financial standing;

II-1

•  some other people who manage the company of its property, such as a liquidator or a receiver; and

•  a person in accordance with whose instructions or wishes the directors of the company are accustomed to act.

      Article 174 of the articles of association of CNH Australia specifies that every auditor, director, managing director, agent, secretary and other officer for the time being of CNH Australia shall be indemnified out of the assets of CNH Australia against any liability incurred by him as such in defending any proceedings whether civil or criminal in which judgement is given in favor or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in relation thereto in which relief under the Corporations Act is granted to him by the court in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries (including CNH Australia) for amounts that CNH Global and such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers.

Belgium

      CNH Belgium N.V. (“CNH Belgium”) and New Holland Tractor Limited N.V. (“New Holland Tractor”), two of the guarantors, are incorporated in Belgium.

      There is no general provision under Belgian law dealing with insurance or indemnification of director liability. According to general Belgian company law provisions concerning director liability, the directors of a Belgian company can, in principle, be held liable: (i) by the company for any fault in the exercise of their office, (ii) by the company and any other third party for breach of the company’s articles or the Belgian Company Code, and (iii) by the company and any other third party under the general principles of tort liability.

      In addition to the above grounds for civil liability, directors may be held liable in very specific circumstances, including where a director’s acts have contributed to the bankruptcy of the company or where the director has received unlawful financial gain through actions resulting in material adverse financial consequences to the company.

      Directors can be discharged by shareholders of any liability towards the company. However, such discharge is not enforceable against third parties.

      CNH Belgium does not, by provision in its articles of association, provide for indemnification of its directors or officers.

      Article 136 of New Holland Tractor’s articles of association provides that every director, officer or auditor of New Holland Tractor shall be indemnified out of the assets of New Holland Tractor against all losses or liabilities which he may sustain or incur in or about the execution of the duties of his office or otherwise in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under the provision of the act in which relief is granted to him by the court, and no director or other officer or auditor shall be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune which may happen to or be incurred by New Holland Tractor in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto. This Article further provides that it shall only have effect insofar as its provisions are not avoided by the provisions of the Belgian Company Code.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries (including CNH Belgium and New Holland Tractor) for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers. In addition, CNH Global has entered into an indemnification agreement with each director of CNH Belgium and New Holland Tractor.

II-2

Canada

      CNH Canada, Ltd. (“CNH Canada”), one of the guarantors, is organized under Canadian law.

      Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), a corporation may indemnify a present or former director or officer or an individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or a person acting in a similar capacity of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by an individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which an individual is made a party by reason of his or her association with the corporation or other entity. A corporation may not indemnify an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. A person referenced above is entitled to indemnification from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges, and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject if the individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

      In accordance with the CBCA, Section 7.1 of the by-laws of CNH Canada provides that it shall indemnify its directors or officers, former directors or officers or other individuals who act or acted at its request as a director or officer or in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is involved because of that association with CNH Canada or other entity. Section 7.1 further specifies that it may not indemnify any individual unless that individual (i) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of CNH Canada or other entity and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.

      Under Section 7.1 of its by-laws, CNH Canada is also required to seek the approval of a court to indemnify an individual in respect of an action by or on behalf of CNH Canada or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a part because of the individual’s association with CNH Canada or other entity, provided that such individual fulfills the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries (including CNH Canada) for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers.

Delaware

      Case New Holland, the issuer of the notes, and BLI Group, Inc., Blue Leaf I.P. and HFI Holdings, Inc., four of the guarantors, are incorporated in Delaware. Two other guarantors, Fiatallis North America LLC and CNH America LLC, are organized as Delaware limited liability companies.

      Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation — a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable

II-3

cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

      Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

      Article VII of Case New Holland’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7). Under Article V of Case New Holland’s bylaws, Case New Holland is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

      Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation of each of BLI Group, Inc. and Blue Leaf I.P limits the liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7). Under Section 6.1 of their respective bylaws, each of BLI Group, Inc. and Blue Leaf I.P. is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. However, the bylaws provide that BLI Group, Inc. and Blue Leaf I.P. are not required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless the proceeding was authorized by the respective company’s board of directors.

      Under Article V, Section 16 of HFI Holdings, Inc.’s bylaws, HFI Holdings, Inc. is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

      Under Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

      Section 15 of the limited liability company agreements of each of Fiatallis North America LLC and CNH America LLC provides that each of the respective companies shall indemnify members and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law from any loss, damage or claim incurred by such person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such person in good faith on behalf of the company in a manner believed to be within the scope of authority conferred by the limited liability company agreement. Such person shall not be entitled to indemnification in respect to any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers.

Germany

      CNH Deutschland GmbH (“CNH Deutschland”), a guarantor, is incorporated in Germany.

      The laws of Germany make no provision of indemnification of officers and directors, except that German law provides for the indemnification of employees under certain circumstances. CNH Deutschland GmbH does not, by provision in its articles of association, provide for the indemnification of any controlling person, officer or director.

II-4

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries (including CNH Deutschland) for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers.

The Netherlands

      CNH Global and CNH Trade N.V. (“CNH Trade”), two of the guarantors, are incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands.

      Article 15 of the Articles of Association of CNH Global provides that:

      “The company shall indemnify any and all of its directors or officers or former directors or officers or any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another company in which it owns shares or of which it is a creditor against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been directors or officers or a former director or officer of the company, or of such other company, except in relation to matters as to which any such director or officer or former director or officer or person shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise.”

      In addition, at the general shareholders’ meeting in April 2004, shareholders approved a form of indemnification agreement for directors and officers of CNH Global.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries (including CNH Trade) for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay their directors and officers. In addition, CNH Global has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers.

United Kingdom

      CNH U.K. (“CNH U.K.”) Limited and New Holland Holding Limited (“NHH”), two of the guarantors, are incorporated under United Kingdom law.

      English law does not permit a company to indemnify to any extent (whether directly or indirectly) a director of the company against any liability attaching to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in relation to the company. However, this prohibition does not apply to a “qualifying third party indemnity provision” (see below section 309B(1) of the Companies Act 1985) which satisfies conditions A to C set out in sections 309(B)(2), (3) and (4) of the Companies Act 1985 of Great Britain, as amended (the “Companies Act”) (see below). Section 309(C) of the Companies Act requires that each qualifying indemnity provision made by a company must be open to inspection by the shareholders of the company. In addition, this section requires that if any qualifying indemnity provision is in force when the directors’ report was approved or at any time during the financial year to which the directors’ report relates, the directors’ report must include a statement to this effect.

      Sections 309A, 309B and 309C of the Companies Act provide as follows:

     309A Provisions protecting directors from liability

(1)	This section applies in relation to any liability attaching to a director of a company in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in relation to the company.

(i) section 144(3) or (4) (acquisition of shares by innocent nominee), or

II-6

(ii) section 727 (general power to grant relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct).

(5)	In paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (4) the reference to any such conviction, judgment or refusal of relief is a reference to one that has become final.
(6)	For the purposes of subsection (5) a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief becomes final –
(a)	if not appealed against, at the end of the period of bringing an appeal, or
(b)	if appealed against, at the time when the appeal (or any further appeal) is disposed of.

(6) In this section –

“associated company” and “provision” have the same meaning as in section 309A; and

“qualifying third party indemnity provision” has the meaning given by section 309B(1).

II-7

      Section 310 of the Companies Act provides as follows:

     310

(1)	This section applies to any provision, whether contained in a company’s articles or in any contract with the company or otherwise, for exempting any person (whether an officer or not) employed by the company as auditor from, or indemnifying him against, any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which he may be guilty in relation to the company.
(2)	Except as provided by the following subsection, any such provision is void.
(3)	This section does not prevent a company –
(a)	from purchasing and maintaining for any such auditor insurance against any such liability, or
(b)	from indemnifying any such auditor against any liability incurred by him –

(i)  in defending any proceedings (whether civil or criminal) in which judgment is given in his favor or he is acquitted, or

(ii)  in connection with any application under section 144(3) or (4) (acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or section 727 (general power to grant relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct) in which relief is granted to him by the court.

      Section 727 of the Companies Act provides, as follows:

     727

(1)	If in any proceedings for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust against an officer of a company or a person employed by a company as auditor (whether he is or is not an officer of the company) it appears to the court hearing the case that officer or person is or may be liable in respect of the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, but that he has acted honestly and reasonably, and that having regard to all the circumstances of the case (including those connected with his appointment) he ought fairly to be excused for the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, that court may relieve him, either wholly or partly, from his liability in such terms as the court thinks fit.
(2)	If any such officer or person as above-mentioned has reason to apprehend that any claim will or might be made against him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, he may apply to the court for relief; and the court on the application has the same power to relieve him as under this section it would have had if it had been a court before which proceedings against that person for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust had been brought.
(3)	Where a case to which subsection (1) applies is being tried by a judge with a jury, the judge, after hearing the evidence, may, if he is satisfied that the defendant or defender ought in pursuance of that subsection to be relieved either in whole or in part from the liability sought to be enforced against him, withdraw the case in whole or in part from the jury and forthwith direct judgment to be entered for the defendant or defender on such terms as to costs or otherwise as the judge may think proper.

      Article 146 of the Articles of Association of CNH U.K. specifies that every director or other officer or auditor of CNH U.K. shall be indemnified out of CNH U.K.’s assets against all losses or liabilities which he may sustain or incur in or about the execution of his duties of his office or otherwise in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under Section 144 or Section 727 of the Companies Act in which relief is granted to him by the court, and no

II-8

director or other officer or auditor shall be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune which may happen to or be incurred by CNH U.K. in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto. Article 146 also specifies that it only has effect in so far as its provisions are not avoided by Section 310 of the Companies Act.

      Article 30 of NHH’s Articles of Association provides that subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, every director, alternate director, auditor, secretary or other officer of NHH is entitled to be indemnified by NHH against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation to his duties, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, that relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of NHH and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted by the court. Article 30 further provides that Regulation 118 of Table A shall not apply.

      CNH Global has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse CNH Global and its subsidiaries including CNH U.K. and NHH for amounts that CNH Global or such subsidiaries may be required or permitted by law to pay to their directors and officers.

All schedules for which provision is made in the applicable accounting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission have been omitted because they are not required, are not applicable or the required information is included in the consolidated financial statements or notes thereto incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

Item 22.  Undertakings.

      The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)	That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initialbona fide offering thereof.
(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)	That insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or

II-11

	proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(5)	To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
(6)	To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
