as Representatives of the Several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Introductory. CNH Capital Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), proposes to cause CNH Equipment Trust 2012-A (the “Trust”) to issue and sell $222,000,000 principal amount of 0.42507% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “A-1 Notes”); $298,570,000 principal amount of 0.65% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “A-2 Notes”); $313,825,000 principal amount of 0.94% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “A-3 Notes”); $132,250,000 principal amount of 1.38% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “A-4 Notes”, and collectively, the A-1 Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3 Notes and the A-4 Notes, the “Class A Notes”); $29,382,000 principal amount of 2.09% Class B Asset Backed Notes (the “B Notes” and, together with the Class A Notes, the “Notes”) to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture to be dated as of March 1, 2012 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Trust and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

The assets of the Trust include, among other things, a pool of fixed rate retail installment sale contracts and retail installment loans (the “Receivables”) secured by new or used agricultural or construction equipment and the related security interests in the equipment financed thereby. The

Receivables were sold to the Trust by the Seller. The Receivables are serviced for the Trust by New Holland Credit Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New Holland”).

Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Notes as contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust will issue to the Seller certificates representing fractional undivided equity interests in the Trust (the “Certificates”). The Notes and the Certificates are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.”

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of March 1, 2012 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Trust, the Seller and New Holland, as servicer, or, if not defined therein, in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement dated as of March 1, 2012 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the Notes were first made to investors by the several Underwriters, which was approximately 4:05 p.m. (New York time) on March 14, 2012 (the “Time of Sale”), the Seller had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 8, 2012, as amended and supplemented by a supplement to such preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 14, 2012 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus dated March 8, 2012 (the “Basic Prospectus”) (together, along with information referred to under the caption “Static Pool Data” therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and the free writing prospectus dated March 8, 2012 (the “Initial Free Writing Prospectus”) in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 9, 2012. If, subsequent to the Time of Sale and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and as a result investors in the Notes may terminate their old “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)) for any Notes and the Underwriters enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Notes, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into the first such new Contract of Sale, in an amended Preliminary Prospectus approved by the Seller and the Representatives that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a “Corrected Prospectus”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.

2. Representations and Warranties. The Seller, and with respect to items (e), (f), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (p), (q), (r), (s), (t) and (u) as they relate to CNH Capital America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CNHCA”) and/or New Holland, CNHCA, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Underwriter as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act (the “Rules and Regulations”) a prospectus supplement dated March 14, 2012 (together with information referred to under the caption “Static Pool Data” therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Basic Prospectus, relating to the Notes and the method of distribution thereof. Such registration statement, including exhibits thereto, and such prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date hereof, and as further supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, are hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” respectively. The conditions to the use of a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Act have been satisfied. The Seller has filed the Preliminary Prospectus and it has done so within the applicable period of time required under the Act and the Rules and Regulations.

(b) The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied and on the Closing Date will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Registration Statement, as of the applicable effective date as to each part of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the Closing Date, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties in the three preceding sentences do not apply to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Seller by any Underwriter through a Representative specifically for use in connection with preparation of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being agreed that the only such information consists of the statements in the second (including the table immediately thereafter) and seventh (including the table immediately thereafter) paragraphs (concerning initial offering prices, concessions and reallowances) and in the fourth and ninth paragraphs (concerning overallotment, stabilizing transactions and syndicate covering transactions) under the heading “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement (such information, the “Underwriter Information”).

with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information. As of the Time of Sale, the Seller was not and as of the Closing Date is not, an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act.

(d) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, when they became effective under the Act or were filed with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes, the Seller will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment, supplement or revision to either the Preliminary Prospectus or to the Prospectus, unless the Seller has furnished you a copy for your review prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which you shall reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Seller will effect the filings required under Rule 424(b) under the Act in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) were each received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that either was not, it will promptly file the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as applicable, and in each case will provide evidence satisfactory to you of such timely filing. In accordance with Section 9, the Seller will file any Trust Free Writing Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act.

(b) During the period when a prospectus is required by the Act or the Exchange Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Notes (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the Seller will notify you immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Prospectus, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or relating to the Receivables or the Notes, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for additional information with respect to the foregoing or relating to the Receivables or the Notes, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes and (v) the happening of any event which, in the judgment of the Seller, makes the Registration Statement or the Prospectus contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Seller will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof.

(c) Upon request, the Seller will deliver to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, photocopies of the signed Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective (the “Original Registration Statement”) and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith) prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Prior to the availability of the Prospectus, the Seller will deliver to the Underwriters, without charge, as many electronic copies of the Preliminary Prospectus as the

The Seller will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of electronic copies of the Prospectus as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

The Seller will use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable, and the Seller will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. Any such filing shall not operate as a waiver or limitation of any right of any Underwriter hereunder.

(f) As soon as practicable, but not later than fourteen months after the original effective date of the Registration Statement, the Seller will cause the Trust to make generally available to the Class A Noteholders an earnings statement of the Trust covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the deemed effective date of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 158(c) under the Act that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158; provided that this covenant may be satisfied by posting the monthly investor reports for the Trust on a website accessible by the Class A Noteholders.

(g) The Seller will arrange for the qualification of the Notes for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as you may reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution.

(h) For a period from the date of this Agreement until the retirement of the Notes, or until such time as the Underwriters shall cease to maintain a secondary market in the Notes, whichever occurs first, the Seller will deliver to you, upon your request, the annual statements of compliance, annual assessments of compliance with servicing criteria and accountants’ attestations in respect of such assessments, on or after the date such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee.

(i) So long as any of the Notes is outstanding, the Seller will furnish to you (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and upon your request, all documents required to be distributed to the Noteholders or filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any order of the Commission thereunder and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning the Seller filed with any government or regulatory authority which is otherwise publicly available, as you may reasonably request.

(j) On or before the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the computer records of the Seller, CNHCA and New Holland relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust’s absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date none of the Seller, CNHCA or New Holland shall take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(k) To the extent, if any, that the ratings provided with respect to the Notes by the rating agency or agencies that initially rate the Notes are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Seller, the Seller shall furnish such documents and take any such other actions.

(l) For the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending seven days after the Closing Date, unless waived by the Underwriters, none of the Seller, CNHCA or any trust originated, directly or indirectly, by the Seller or CNHCA will offer to sell or sell notes publicly or pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act (other than the Notes and commercial paper notes offered pursuant to CNHCA’s existing asset-backed commercial paper program) collateralized by, or certificates (other than the Certificates) evidencing an ownership interest in, receivables generated pursuant to retail agricultural or construction equipment installment sale contracts originated in the United States.

(m) The Seller will enter into, and will cause the Trust to enter into, each Basic Document to which this Agreement and each Basic Document contemplates the Seller and/or the Trust will be a party on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) You shall have received an opinion or opinions (or, in the case of the penultimate paragraph of this clause (e), a negative assurance letter) of counsel to CNHCA and the Seller, addressed to you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to you and your counsel, to the effect that:

(i) Each of CNHCA and the Seller is an existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and, in the case of the Seller, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which failure to qualify or to obtain such license or approval would render any Receivable unenforceable by the Seller, the Trust or the Indenture Trustee.

(ii) The direction by the Seller to the Trustee to authenticate the Certificates has been duly authorized by the Seller and, when the Certificates have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Certificates will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable subject to the obligations of the Seller under Section 2.10 of the Trust Agreement and entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

(iii) The direction by CNHCA to the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Notes has been duly authorized by CNHCA, and, when the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and delivered and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes will be validly and legally issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits and security afforded by the Indenture, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or similar law or regulation affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(iv) The Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller, and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Seller and CNHCA.

(vi) The Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by CNHCA and are legal, valid and binding obligations of CNHCA enforceable against CNHCA in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(vii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, as applicable, by CNHCA 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 CNHCA or the Seller or any material agreement or instrument known to such counsel after due inquiry to which CNHCA or the Seller is a party or by which CNHCA or the Seller is bound or to which any of the properties of CNHCA or the Seller is subject.

(viii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Basic Documents, as applicable, by CNHCA and the Seller, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not violate any statute, rule or regulation or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over CNHCA or the Seller or any of their properties.

(ix) There are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, threatened before any court, administrative agency, or other tribunal (1) asserting the invalidity of the Trust or any of the Basic Documents, (2) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Basic Documents or the execution and delivery thereof, or (3) that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by CNHCA or the Seller, as applicable, of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Basic Documents.

(x) Each of the CNHCA Assignment dated as of the Closing Date from CNHCA to the Seller and the assignments of Receivables from CNHCA to the Seller pursuant to the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by CNHCA.

(xi) Assuming that CNHCA’s standard procedures have been followed with respect to the creation of the Receivables, CNHCA obtains from each Dealer either an absolute ownership interest or a security interest in the Receivables originated by that Dealer, which ownership or security interest (whichever it may be) is perfected and prior to any other interests that may be perfected only by possession of a Receivable or the filing of a financing statement in accordance with the UCC. Assuming that CNHCA’s standard procedures with respect to the perfection of a security interest in the equipment financed by CNHCA pursuant to retail agricultural, construction or other equipment installment sale contracts in the ordinary course of CNHCA’s business have been followed with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Financed Equipment, CNHCA has acquired either a perfected security interest in the Financed Equipment or a perfected security interest in the Receivables, which indirectly provides CNHCA with a security interest in the Financed Equipment that is perfected as against the obligor’s

creditors; provided, however, that such opinion need not address any equipment that is subject to a certificate of title statute.

(xii) The Indenture constitutes a grant by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee, acting under the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, of a valid security interest in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York (the “NYUCC”). Under the NYUCC, the internal laws of the State of Delaware govern perfection by filing of financing statements of the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Estate as against the Trust.

(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 State and will constitute a first priority perfected security interest therein. No filing or other action, other than the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the filing of the UCC financing statement with the Delaware Secretary of State referred to above, is necessary to perfect and maintain the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, the security interests in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables and the proceeds of each of the foregoing against third parties.

(xiv) The Receivables are tangible chattel paper as defined in the NYUCC.

(xv) The Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Administration Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement conform in all material respects with the description thereof contained in the Prospectus and any supplement thereto.

(xvi) The statements in the Basic Prospectus under the headings “Risk Factors—Possible liability for third party claims may cause payment delays or losses”, “Legal Aspects of the Receivables”, and “ERISA Considerations,” and in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement under the headings “Summary of Terms — ERISA Considerations” and “ERISA Considerations,” to the extent they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects.

(xvii) The statements contained in the Basic Prospectus and any supplement thereto under the headings “Description of the Notes”, “Description of the Certificates”, “Administrative Information About the Securities”, “Depositor”, “Servicer” and “Amendments” and in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement under the headings “Description of the Notes”, “Description of the Certificates”, “Servicing Matters,” and “Fees and Expenses Payable Out of Cash Flows”, 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 (or will be made with respect to the Rule 424(b) filing of the Prospectus) 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 and the Trust is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(xx) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

(xxi) The Seller is not, and will not 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.

(xxii) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, any required filings of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and any supplements thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act have been made or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (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 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 generally and to the effect of general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

The opinions of counsel to CNHCA and the Seller shall also contain opinions with respect to certain matters related to the creation, perfection and priority of the security interests in the Receivables and the related Financed Equipment, which opinions shall be satisfactory in form and substance to you and your counsel.

The negative assurance letter of counsel to CNHCA and the Seller shall state that such counsel has examined various documents and participated in conferences with representatives of CNHCA, the Seller and their accountants and with representatives of the Underwriters and their counsel, at which time the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. However, except as specifically noted above, such counsel need not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information

and the Prospectus. Subject to the foregoing, such counsel shall advise you that no facts have come to their attention that cause them to believe that (x) the Registration Statement, including the Rule 430B Information (as hereinafter defined), at the latest deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (y) the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale and as of the Closing Date, considered as a whole and together with the statements in the Prospectus with respect to items dependent upon the pricing terms and delivery date of the Notes, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or (z) the Prospectus, as of its date or at the Closing Date, included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in each of clauses (x), (y) and (z), except for the financial statements and related schedules or other financial or statistical data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel will not be called upon to express a belief). As used herein, “Rule 430B Information” means any information included in the Prospectus that was omitted from the Registration Statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in the Registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act.

Such counsel shall also opine as to such matters as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Administration Agreement by New Holland, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or

(iv) The execution, delivery and performance of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Administration Agreement by New Holland, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not violate any statute, rule or regulation or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over New Holland or any of its properties.

(d) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Seller that, other than the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Initial Free Writing Prospectus, it has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, including but not limited to any “ABS informational and computational materials” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Act; provided, however, that (i) each Underwriter may prepare and convey one or more “written communications” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) containing no more than the following: (1) information included in the Preliminary Prospectus, (2) information relating to the class, size, rating, price, CUSIPS, coupon, yield, spread, benchmark, status and/or legal maturity date of the Notes, the weighted average life, expected final payment date, trade date, settlement date and payment window of one or more classes of Notes and the underwriters for one or more classes of Notes, (3) the eligibility of the Notes to be purchased by ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, (4) a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Notes (both for the issuance as a whole and for each Underwriter’s retention) and/or expected pricing parameters of the Notes and (5) an Intex CDI file that contains only information of the type described in clause (5) of footnote 271 of Commission Release No. 33-8591 (Securities Offering Reform) and that has been prepared by an Underwriter as described in the parenthetical to such footnote (each such written communication, an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”); (ii) unless otherwise consented to by the Seller, no such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus shall be conveyed if, as a result of such conveyance, the Seller or the Trust shall be required to make any registration or other filing solely as a result of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act other than the filing of the final terms of the Notes pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5) under the Act; (iii) each Underwriter shall provide the Seller a true and accurate copy of each Free Writing Prospectus conveyed by it of the type referred to in Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Act no later than noon (Central Time) on the date of first use; (iv) each Underwriter will be permitted to provide confirmations of sale; and (v) each Underwriter will be permitted to distribute the road show presentation, dated March, 2012 (the “Road Show Presentation”). It is hereby acknowledged that no Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus has been prepared by or on behalf of the Trust, CNHCA, CNHCR or the Servicer for purposes of Rule 433(h)(1) or 433(h)(3) under the Securities Act.

(e) The Seller agrees to file with the Commission when required under the Rules and Regulations the following:

(i) any Free Writing Prospectus that is included in the Time of Sale Information (any such Free Writing Prospectus, a “Trust Free Writing Prospectus”);

(ii) subject to the Underwriters’ compliance with Section 9(d), any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus at the time required to be filed; and

(iii) any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Seller or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Seller or any other offering participant that is in

the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(e), the Seller will not be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

(g) The Seller and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it will contain the following legend:

The Depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus supplement and a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement and the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the Depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting ▇▇▇▇▇ on the SEC website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇. Alternatively, the Depositor, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus supplement and the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇.

(h) The Seller and the Underwriters each agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Act.

(i) In the event the Seller becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Time of Sale Information contains or contained any untrue statement of material fact or omits or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (when read in conjunction with all Time of Sale Information) in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Defective Prospectus”), the Seller shall promptly notify the Representatives of such untrue statement or omission no later than one business day after discovery and the Seller shall, if requested by the Representatives, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Corrected Prospectus.

(j) If any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered to a purchaser of a Note contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (such Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), the Underwriter will notify the Seller and CNHCA thereof within one Business Day after discovery.

(k) Provided that the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was a Trust Free Writing Prospectus or contained Issuer Information, the Underwriter will, if requested by the Seller:

(i) Prepare a Free Writing Prospectus which corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”);

(ii) Deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each purchaser of a Note which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into an agreement to purchase any Notes;

(iii) Provide such purchaser with adequate disclosure of the existing contractual arrangement to purchase the Notes;

(iv) Provide such purchaser adequate disclosure of such person’s rights under the existing contractual arrangement to purchase the Notes at the time termination is sought; and

(v) Provide such purchaser with a meaningful opportunity to elect to terminate or not terminate the existing contract of purchase and to elect to enter into or not enter into a new agreement to purchase the Notes based on the information set forth in the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus.

(l) Each Underwriter, severally, represents and agrees that it did not enter into any contract of sale for any Notes prior to the Time of Sale.

10. Indemnification and Contribution. a) The Seller and CNHCA will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including the Rule 430B Information) or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any Trust Free Writing Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or the Issuer Information or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Seller nor CNHCA will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from, any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Seller or CNHCA; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including, subject to Section 10(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any

governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and CNHCA, their respective directors, the Seller’s officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller or CNHCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Rule 430B Information), the Preliminary Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any Trust Free Writing Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information or (ii) the Derived Information that does not arise out of an error, material misstatement or material omission in the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Preliminary Prospectus or in the Computer Tape.

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it (including any governmental investigation) in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. The failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under this Section except to the extent that such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, moreover, the failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. In any proceeding hereunder any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, or (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons of Underwriters shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for CNHCA and the Seller, the directors of CNHCA and the Seller, the officers of CNHCA and the Seller who sign the Registration Statement and such control persons of CNHCA and the Seller or authorized representatives shall be designated in writing by CNHCA and the Seller. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any

proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability and fault on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 10 is for any reason held to be unavailable or insufficient other than in accordance with its terms, the Seller, CNHCA and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Seller and one or more of the Underwriters, in such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount and commissions appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Seller and CNHCA are responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Seller, each officer of the Seller who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount and commission applicable to the Notes purchased by it hereunder. The remedies provided for in this Section are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that otherwise may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

11. Defaults of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Seller for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 24 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Seller, except as provided in Section 13 and except that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall be 10% or less of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to

take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

12. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all securities issued by the Seller or by a trust for which the Seller was the depositor, which securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

13. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Seller and CNHCA or any of their officers and each of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Seller submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation or statement as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or of the Seller or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and (iii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing sentence, the provisions of Section 5(b)(iii), Section 10 and Section 14 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Seller pursuant to Section 7 and the respective obligations of the Seller and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 10 shall remain in effect. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated (other than because of a failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in items (ii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(d)), the Seller will reimburse any Underwriter, upon demand, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the offering of the Notes. Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall limit the recourse of the Seller against the Underwriters.

14. Relationship Among Parties. CNHCA and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to CNHCA and the Seller with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, CNHCA, the Seller or any other person. Additionally, none of the Underwriters are advising CNHCA, the Seller or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. CNHCA and the Seller shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to CNHCA or the Seller with respect to any such legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters. Any review by the Underwriters of CNHCA, the Seller, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters

relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of CNHCA or the Seller.

15. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered, faxed or emailed and confirmed to Barclays Capital Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, telephone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, email: ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Credit Solutions Group, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 10005, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, telephone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, email: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇, and SG Americas Securities, LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, telephone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, email: ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, as Representatives of the Several Underwriters (or to such other address as the Underwriters shall designate in writing to the Seller or CNHCA in accordance with this Section 15); if sent to the Seller, will be mailed, delivered, faxed or emailed and confirmed to it at CNH Capital Receivables LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Assistant Treasurer, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, email: ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (or to such other address as the Seller shall designate in writing to the Underwriters in accordance with this Section 15); or, if sent to CNHCA, will be mailed, delivered, faxed or emailed and confirmed to it at CNH Capital America LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Assistant Treasurer, facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, email: ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (or to such other address as CNHCA shall designate in writing to the Underwriters in accordance with this Section 15); provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 10 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter. Any such notice will take effect at the time of receipt.

16. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and will inure to the benefit of the Seller, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each controlling person, if any referred to in Section 10, and no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder. No purchaser of Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor of such Underwriter merely because of such purchase.

17. Representation. You will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by you will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

20. Waiver Of Jury Trial. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY

ACTION OR PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM) OF ANY TYPE IN WHICH ANOTHER PARTY SHALL BE A PARTY AS TO ALL MATTERS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

21. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof and (b) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement among the Seller, CNHCA and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.
