(xvii) The statements contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus and any supplement thereto under the headings “Description of the Notes”, “Description of the Certificates”, “Administrative Information About the Notes”, “Depositor”, “Servicer”, “Servicing Matters”, “Amendments”, insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the Notes, the Certificates, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement, fairly present the matters referred to therein. (xviii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Basic Documents, except such as are required and have been obtained and made under the Act, the Exchange Act and the UCC (or will be made with respect to (i) the Rule 424(b) filing of the Prospectus and (ii) the filing of UCC financing statements) and such as may be required under state securities laws (it being understood that this opinion will be given only with respect to such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and filings that, in such counsel’s experience, are customarily applicable in transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement and the Basic Documents). (xix) The Trust Agreement is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. (xx) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. (xxi) Neither the Seller nor the Trust is, or will as a result of the offer and sale of the Notes as contemplated in the Prospectus and this Agreement or as a result of the issuance of the Certificates become, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act or a company “controlled by” an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and, though other exemptions or exclusions may be applicable, the exemption provided by Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act has been relied upon in reaching such conclusion with respect to the Trust. (xxii) The Registration Statement is effective under the Act, any required filings of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplements thereto pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act have been made or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424 (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)), and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act; and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Registration Statement) and as of their respective issue dates (in the case of the Prospectus and each supplement thereto), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations. (xxiii) The Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement and the Administration Agreement have been duly authorized and, when duly executed and delivered by the Trustee, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights gener

(vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, as applicable, by CNHICA and the Seller, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws of CNHICA or the Seller or any material agreement or instrument known to such counsel after due inquiry to which CNHICA or the Seller is a party or by which CNHICA or the Seller is bound or to which any of the properties of CNHICA or the Seller is subject.

(xiii) The security interest granted under the Indenture will be perfected upon the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of StateState and will constitute a first priority perfected security interest therein.

(xix) The Trust Agreement is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. (xx) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. (xxi) Neither the Seller nor the Trust is, or will as a result of the offer and sale of the Notes as contemplated in the Prospectus and this Agreement or as a result of the issuance of the Certificates become, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act or a company “controlled by” an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and, though other exemptions or exclusions may be applicable, the exemption provided by Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act has been relied upon in reaching such conclusion with respect to the Trust. (xxii) The Registration Statement is effective under the Act, any required filings of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplements thereto pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act have been made or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424 (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)), and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act; and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, as of the Closing Date (in the case of the Registration Statement) and as of their respective issue dates (in the case of the Prospectus and each supplement thereto), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations.
