SECTION 2.3. Intention of the Parties. The parties to this
Agreement intend that the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by CNHCR and a sale by
Case Credit of the Case Purchased Contracts and the Subsequent
Case Receivables and any True Lease Equipment related to such
Case Purchased Contracts or Subsequent Case Receivables, as the
case may be, and not as a lending transaction. The foregoing
sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance does not constitute,
and is not intended to result in a creation or assumption by
CNHCR of, any obligation or liability with respect to any Case
Purchased Contract or any Subsequent Case Receivable, nor shall
CNHCR be obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any
obligation of Case Credit or any other Person in connection with
the Case Purchased Contracts or the Subsequent Case Receivables
or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including
any contract or any other obligation to any Obligor, except that
CNHCR accepts any Contracts that are Leases subject to (and
assumes) the covenants benefiting the Obligors under such Leases.
If (but only to the extent) that the transfer of the Case Assets
hereunder is characterized by a court or other governmental
authority as a loan rather than a sale, Case Credit shall be
deemed hereunder to have granted to CNHCR a security interest in
all of Case Credit's right, title and interest in and to the Case
Assets. Such security interest shall secure all of Case Credit's
obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents to which it is a party, whether now or
4
hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent. CNHCR shall have, with respect
to the property described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, and in
addition to all the other rights and remedies available to CNHCR
under this Agreement and applicable law, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC, and this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable
law.
SECTION 2.4. The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Case
Purchased Contracts shall take place at a closing at the offices
of Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, 190 South LaSalle Street, Chicago,
Illinois 60603 on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the
closings under: (a) the NH Purchase Agreement, (b) the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, (c) the Trust Agreement, (d) the
Administration Agreement and (e) the Indenture.
SECTION 2.5. Payment of the Purchase Price.
(a) Case Purchased Contracts. The Initial Case Purchase Price is
payable as follows: (i) partially in cash on the Closing Date,
and (ii) the remainder shall be deemed to have been paid by CNHCR
to Case Credit and returned by Case Credit to CNHCR as a
contribution to capital.
(b) Subsequent Case Receivables. As consideration for the
conveyance of Subsequent Case Receivables pursuant to Section
2.2, CNHCR shall pay or cause to be paid to Case Credit on each
Subsequent Transfer Date an amount (a "Subsequent Case Purchase
Price") equal to the aggregate Contract Value of the Subsequent
Case Receivables as of the related Subsequent Cutoff Date, plus
any premium or minus any discount agreed upon by Case Credit and
CNHCR. Any Subsequent Case Purchase Price shall be payable as
follows: (i) cash in the amount released to CNHCR in respect of
the Subsequent Case Receivables from the Pre-Funding Account
pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
shall be paid to Case Credit on the related Subsequent Transfer

(b) Case Credit makes the following representations and
warranties as to the Receivables on which CNHCR relies in
accepting the Initial Receivables and the Subsequent Receivables
and in transferring the Receivables to the Trust. Such
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, in the
case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of the Subsequent
Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment
of the Receivables to CNHCR and the subsequent assignment and
transfer of such Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale
and Servicing Agreement and pursuant to the Indenture:
(i) Characteristics of Case Receivables. Each Case Receivable:
(A) (1) (i) was originated in the United States of America by a
Dealer in connection with the retail sale or lease of Financed
Equipment in the ordinary course of such Dealer's business, and
(ii) was purchased by Case Credit from a Dealer and validly
assigned by such Dealer to Case Credit in accordance with its
terms, or (2) was originated in the United States of America by
Case Credit in connection with the financing or lease of Financed
Equipment in the ordinary course of Case Credit's business and,
in either case, was fully and properly executed by the parties
thereto, (B) has created a valid, subsisting and enforceable
first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in
favor of Case Credit that, as of the Closing Date, has been
assigned by Case Credit to CNHCR, by CNHCR to the Issuer and by
the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, except that (x) no security
interest against the Obligor is created in True Lease Equipment,
and (y) Case Credit makes no representation or warranty as to any
such security interest granted by any Dealer to secure the
Dealer's obligations to make payments in respect of Termination
Values, (C) contains customary and enforceable provisions such
that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate
for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
security, and (D) (i) in the case of Retail Installment
Contracts, provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that
fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest
at the Annual Percentage Rate, and (ii) in the case of any
Contracts sold, or to be sold, hereunder that are Leases,
provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that fully
amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at
the Annual Percentage Rate, except that any Contracts sold, or to
be sold, hereunder that are Leases also provide for payments of
the related Termination Values.
(ii) Schedule of Case Receivables. The information set forth on
Schedule A to the Case Assignment delivered on the Closing Date
is true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of
business on the Initial Cutoff Date and the information set forth
on Schedule A to the related Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment
will be true and correct on each Subsequent Transfer Date related
to such Case Subsequent Transfer Assignment and no selection
procedures believed by Case Credit to be adverse to the interests
of the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders were or
will be utilized in selecting the Case Receivables. The computer
tape regarding the Case Receivables made available to CNHCR and
its assigns is true and correct in all respects.
8
(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Case Receivable and the sale or
lease of the related Financed Equipment complied in all material
respects at the time it was originated or made and at the
execution of this Agreement and each Case Subsequent Transfer
Assignment complies in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable Federal, State and local laws and
regulations thereunder, including usury law, the Federal
Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the
Federal Trade Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the
Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z, the Wisconsin
Consumer Act and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act
and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer
credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.
(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Case Receivable represents the
genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing
of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance
with its terms.
(v) No Government Obligor. None of the Case Receivables is due
from the United States of America or any State or from any
agency, department or instrumentality of the United States of
America or any State.
(vi) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately prior
to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each Case
Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority
security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of Case
Credit as secured party or all necessary and appropriate actions
have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of
a first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in
favor of Case Credit as secured party, except that (A) no
security interest against the Obligor is created in True Lease
Equipment and (B) Case Credit makes no representation or warranty
as to any security interest granted by any Dealer to secure the
Dealer's obligations to make payments in respect of Termination
Values.
(vii) Case Receivables in Force. No Case Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed
Equipment been released from the Lien granted by the related Case
Receivable in whole or in part.
(viii) No Amendment or Waiver. No provision of a Case Receivable
has been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except
pursuant to a document, instrument or writing included in the
Receivable Files and no such amendment, waiver, alteration or
modification causes such Case Receivable not to conform to the
other warranties contained in this Section.
9
(ix) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted or threatened or exists with respect to
any Case Receivable.
(x) No Liens. To the best of Case Credit's knowledge, no Liens or
claims, including claims for work, labor or materials, relating
to any of the Financed Equipment have been filed that are Liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in
the Financed Equipment granted by any Case Receivable, except
those pursuant to the Basic Documents.
(xi) No Default. No Case Receivable is a non-performing
Receivable or has a payment that is more than 90 days overdue as
of the Initial Cutoff Date or Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable, and, except for a payment default continuing for a
period of not more than 90 days, no default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Case
Receivable has occurred and is continuing; and no continuing
condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute
such a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Case Receivable has arisen;
and Case Credit has not waived and shall not waive any of the
foregoing.
(xii) Title. It is the intention of Case Credit that the
transfers and assignments contemplated herein and in the Case
Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the
Case Receivables from Case Credit to CNHCR and that the
beneficial interest in and title to the Case Receivables and any
True Lease Equipment related to such Case Receivables not be part
of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against Case Credit under any bankruptcy or
similar law. No Case Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned or pledged by Case Credit to any Person other than
CNHCR. Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments
contemplated herein and in the Case Liquidity Receivables
Purchase Agreement, Case Credit had good title to each Case
Receivable and any True Lease Equipment related to such Case
Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the
transfer thereof, CNHCR shall have good title to each Case
Receivable and any True Lease Equipment, free and clear of all
Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the Case Receivables to
CNHCR has been perfected under the UCC.
(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Case Receivable has been originated
in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which
the sale, transfer and assignment of such Case Receivable or any
Case Receivable under this Agreement, the Case Liquidity
Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement
or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.
10
(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings)
necessary in any jurisdiction to give CNHCR a first priority
perfected ownership interest in the Case Receivables have been
made.
(xv) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of
each Case Receivable.
(xvi) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has a remaining
term to maturity of not more than 72 months, in the case of the
Initial Receivables, and 72 months, in the case of the Subsequent
Receivables; the weighted average remaining term of the Initial
Receivables is approximately 47.5 months as of the Initial Cutoff
Date; the weighted average original term of the Receivables,
including as of each Subsequent Transfer Date all Subsequent
Receivables previously transferred to CNHCR, will not be greater
than 55 months.
(xvii) Scheduled Payments. No Receivable has a final scheduled
payment date later than six months preceding the Final Scheduled
Maturity Date; each Receivable provides for payments that fully
amortize the Amount Financed over the original term of the
Receivable, and is either a Precomputed Receivable or a Simple
Interest Receivable.
(xviii) Insurance. The Obligor on each Case Receivable is
required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the
Financed Equipment and, in the case of any Lease, public
liability insurance relating to the use of such Financed
Equipment, in each case in accordance with Case Credit's normal
requirements.
(xix) Concentrations. (A) No Receivable has a Statistical
Contract Value (when combined with the Statistical Contract Value
of any other Receivable with the same or an Affiliated Obligor)
that exceeds 1% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract
Value.
(xx) Financing. Approximately 58.25% of the aggregate Statistical
Contract Value of the Initial Receivables, constituting 59.48% of
the number of Initial Receivables as of the Initial Cutoff Date,
were secured by or constitute Receivables of equipment that was
new at the time the related Initial Receivable was originated;
the remainder of the Initial Receivables represent financing or
leases of used equipment; approximately 71.98% of the aggregate
Statistical Contract Value of the Initial Receivables,
constituting 74.55% of the number of Initial Receivables as of
the Initial Cutoff Date, represent financing or leases of
agricultural equipment; the remainder of the Initial Receivables
represent financing or leases of construction equipment. The
aggregate Statistical Contract Value of the Receivables for the
purposes of the above calculations as of the Initial Cutoff Date
is $674,351,153.55. Additionally, not more than 50% of the
aggregate Contract Value of the Receivables, including, as of
each Subsequent Transfer Date, all Subsequent Receivables
previously transferred to CNHCR, will represent Contracts for the
financing or lease of construction equipment. No Subsequent
Receivable will represent the financing of truck equipment.
11
(xxi) No Bankruptcies. No Obligor on any Case Receivable as of
the Initial Cutoff Date or the Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable, was noted in the related Receivable File as being the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
(xxii) No Repossessions. None of the Financed Equipment securing
any Case Receivable is in repossession status.
(xxiii) Chattel Paper. Each Case Receivable constitutes "chattel
paper" as defined in the UCC of each State the law of which
governs the perfection of the interest granted in it and/or the
priority of such perfected interest.
(xxiv) U.S. Obligors. None of the Case Receivables is denominated
and payable in any currency other than United States Dollars or
is due from any Person that does not have a mailing address in
the United States of America.
(xxv) Payment Frequency. As of the Initial Cutoff Date and as
shown on the books of Case Credit: (A) Initial Receivables having
an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 47.55% of the
Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had annual scheduled
payments, (B) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical
Contract Value equal to 3.15% of the Initial Aggregate
Statistical Contract Value had semi-annual scheduled payments,
(C) Initial Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract
Value equal to 0.77% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical
Contract Value had quarterly scheduled payments, (D) Initial
Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal
to 42.49% of the Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had
monthly scheduled payments, and (E) Initial Receivables having an
aggregate Statistical Contract Value equal to 6.04% of the
Initial Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had irregularly
scheduled payments.
(xxvi) Interest Accruing. Each Case Receivable, other than those
Case Receivables consisting of Contracts that contain interest
waivers for a specified period of time, is, as of the Closing
Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, accruing
interest; no Case Receivable contains an interest waiver
extending more than 12 months after the Initial Cutoff Date.
(xxvii) Leases. Each Lease included in the Initial Case
Receivables or the Subsequent Case Receivables has a Termination
Value less than or equal to 10% of the purchase price of the
equipment subject to such Lease and is a "lease intended as
security" (rather than a true lease) within the meaning of
Section 1-201(37) of the UCC.
(xxviii) Case Credit's Representations. The representations and
warranties of Case Credit contained in Section 3.2(a) are true
and correct.
12
(xxix) Case Credit's Obligations. Case Credit has no obligations
under any Contract, other than the covenant of quiet enjoyment
benefiting the Obligors under any Contracts that are Leases.
(xxx) No Either/or Leases. No Lease included in the Initial Case
Receivables or the Subsequent Case Receivables is a Either/or
Lease, and no Financed Equipment transferred to CNHCR on the
Closing Date or any Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be,
constitutes True Lease Equipment.
(xxxi) No Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Basic Documents, none of the Initial Case Receivables or the
Subsequent Case Receivables shall be Leases.
(xxxii) Perfection Representations. Case Credit further makes all
the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Schedule P.

Covenants of Case Credit
Case Credit agrees with CNHCR as follows; provided, however, that
to the extent that any provision of this Article conflicts with
any provision of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement shall govern:
SECTION 5.1. Protection of Right, Title and Interest. (a)
Filings. Case Credit shall cause all financing statements and
continuation statements and any other necessary documents
covering the right, title and interest of CNHCR in and to the
Case Receivables and the other property included in the Trust
Estate to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept
recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such
places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect
the right, title and interest of CNHCR hereunder to the Case
Receivables and the other property sold hereunder. It is
understood and agreed, however, that no filings will be made to
perfect any security interest of CNHCR in Case Credit's interests
in Financed Equipment. Case Credit shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to CNHCR file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts
for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above
as soon as available following such recordation, registration or
filing. CNHCR shall cooperate fully with Case Credit in
connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute
any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent
of this paragraph.
(b) Name Change. Within 15 days after Case Credit makes any
change in its name, identity or corporate structure that would,
could or might make any financing statement or continuation
statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) seriously
misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any
title statute, Case Credit shall give CNHCR notice of any such
change, and no later than five days after the effective date
thereof, shall file such financing statements or amendments as
may be necessary to continue the perfection of CNHCR's interest
in the property included in the Trust Estate.
16
(c) Location Change. Within 15 days after Case Credit makes any
change to its "location" as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC,
Case Credit shall give CNHCR notice of any such change, and no
later than five days after the effective date thereof, shall file
such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to
continue the perfection of CNHCR's interest in the property
included in the Trust Estate.
SECTION 5.2. Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances
hereunder and pursuant to the Case Liquidity Receivables Purchase
Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and
the other Basic Documents, Case Credit: (a) will not sell,
pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on, any interest in, to
and under the Case Receivables, and (b) shall defend the right,
title and interest of CNHCR in, to and under the Case Receivables
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
Case Credit; provided, however, that Case Credit's obligations
under this Section shall terminate upon the termination of the
Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
SECTION 5.3. Chief Executive Office. During the term of the Case
Receivables, Case Credit will maintain its chief executive office
and "location," as defined in the UCC, in one of the States.
SECTION 5.4. Costs and Expenses. Case Credit agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the
perfection, as against all third parties, of CNHCR's right, title
and interest in, to and under the Case Receivables.
SECTION 5.5. Indemnification. Case Credit shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless CNHCR for any liability as a result of the
failure of a Case Receivable to be originated in compliance with
all requirements of law and for any breach of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein. These indemnity
obligations shall be in addition to any obligation that Case
Credit may otherwise have. Case Credit shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless CNHCR, the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee (and their respective officers, directors,
employees and agents) from and against any taxes that may at any
time be asserted against such Person with respect to the sale of
the Case Receivables to CNHCR hereunder or the sale of the Case
Receivables to the Issuer by CNHCR or the issuance and original
sale of the Certificates and the Notes, including any sales,
gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property,
privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of CNHCR and the
Issuer, not including any taxes asserted with respect to
ownership of the Case Receivables on Federal or other income
taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.
17
SECTION 5.6. Transfer of Subsequent Case Receivables. Case Credit
covenants to transfer to CNHCR, pursuant to Section 2.2,
Subsequent Case Receivables with an aggregate Contract Value
approximately equal to $352,897,821.32 minus the aggregate
Contract Value of any Receivables sold to CNHCR by NH Credit
pursuant to Section 5.6 of the NH Purchase Agreement, subject
only to the availability of such Subsequent Case Receivables.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous Provisions
SECTION 6.1. Obligations of Case Credit. The obligations of Case
Credit under this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of
any invalidity, illegality or irregularity of any Case
Receivable.
SECTION 6.2. Repurchase Events. Case Credit hereby covenants and
agrees with CNHCR for the benefit of CNHCR, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders, the Trustee and the Certificateholders
that the occurrence of a breach of any of Case Credit's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(b), shall
constitute events obligating Case Credit to repurchase any Case
Receivable and, with respect to a breach of any of Case Credit's
representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.2(b)(xvi),
(xvii), (xix), (xx), (xxv) and (xxvi), any NH Receivable
materially and adversely affected by any such breach ("Repurchase
Events") at the Purchase Amount from CNHCR or from the Trust.
Except as set forth in Section 5.5, the repurchase obligation of

Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Trust, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders against Case Credit with respect to any
Repurchase Event.
SECTION 6.3. CNHCR Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With
respect to all Receivables repurchased by Case Credit pursuant to
this Agreement, CNHCR shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to Case Credit, without recourse, representation
or warranty, all of CNHCR's right, title and interest in, to and
under such Receivables, and all security and documents relating
thereto.
SECTION 6.4. Trust. Case Credit acknowledges and agrees that: (a)
CNHCR will, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell

covenants contained in this Agreement and the rights of CNHCR
under this Agreement, including under Section 6.2, are intended
to benefit the Trust, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders.

Indenture Trustee shall have the same force and effect as if the
right or remedy had been enforced or executed by CNHCR.
18
SECTION 6.5. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time
to time, with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, by a
written amendment duly executed and delivered by Case Credit and
CNHCR, without the consent of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that such amendment will not in the Opinion of
Counsel, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder.

Credit and CNHCR, with prior written notice to the Rating
Agencies, with the written consent of (x) Noteholders holding

be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
Notes and Certificates that are required to consent to any such
amendment, without the consent of the holders of all the
outstanding Notes and Certificates.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or
Noteholders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
SECTION 6.6. Accountants' Letters. (a) A firm of independent
certified public accountants will review the characteristics of
the Receivables described in the Schedule of Receivables and will
compare those characteristics to the information with respect to
the Receivables contained in the Prospectus, (b) Case Credit will
cooperate with CNHCR and such accounting firm in making available

respect to the financial and statistical information contained in

19
SECTION 6.7. Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of CNHCR in
exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement, the

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power,
right or remedy.

under this Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered or

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