CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.1.                                                              Conveyance of Receivables.  In consideration of CNHCR’s payment of $838,378,540.59 (the “Purchase Price”) in the manner set out in Section 2.5(a), and the other consideration (including the terms and covenants) contained herein, CNHICA does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHCR, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all of its right, title, interest in, to and under (collectively, the “CNHICA Assets”):

(i)                                     the Receivables, including all documents constituting chattel paper included therewith, and all obligations of the Obligors thereunder, including all monies paid thereunder on or after the Cutoff Date;

(ii)                                  the security interests in the Financed Equipment granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of CNHICA in such Financed Equipment;

(iii)                               any proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on insurance policies covering Financed Equipment or Obligors (to the extent not used to purchase Substitute Equipment);

(iv)                              any proceeds from recourse to Dealers with respect to the Receivables;

(v)                                 any Financed Equipment that shall have secured the Receivables and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of CNHCR; and

(vi)                              the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

Section 2.2.                                                              [Reserved].

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 CNHICA of the Receivables and not as a lending transaction, such that in the event of a filing of a petition for relief by or against CNHICA under the Bankruptcy Code, (i) such Receivables would not be property of CNHICA’s bankruptcy estate under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the bankruptcy court would not compel the turnover of such Receivables or collections thereon by CNHCR to CNHICA under Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the bankruptcy court would determine that payments on such Receivables not in the possession of CNHICA would not be subject to the automatic stay provisions of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code imposed upon the commencement of CNHICA’s bankruptcy case.  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 Receivables, nor shall CNHCR be obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any obligation of CNHICA or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any contract or any other obligation to any Obligor.  If (but only to the extent that) the transfer of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or other governmental authority as a loan rather than a sale, CNHICA shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to CNHCR a security interest in all of CNHICA’s right, title and interest in and to the Assets.  Such security interest shall secure all of CNHICA’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, whether now or 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 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 Receivables shall take place at a closing at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇  ▇▇▇▇▇ on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closings under:  (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Trust Agreement, (c) the Administration Agreement and (d) the Indenture.

Section 2.5.                                                              Payment of the Purchase Price.

(a)                                 Receivables. The Purchase Price is payable on the Closing Date (a) in cash in an amount of $838,378,540.59 and (b) the remainder shall be deemed to have been added to the outstanding balance of the subordinated note, dated as of December 15, 2000, payable by CNHCR to CNHCA and executed in connection with the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 15, 2000 between CNHICA and CNHCR.

Section 2.6.                                                              Cross-Collateralization.  To the extent CNHICA retains any interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing the repayment of any Receivable, as a result of the related Obligor agreeing to cross-collateralize all obligations owed by such Obligor to CNHICA or otherwise, CNHICA acknowledges and agrees that its interest in the Financed Equipment shall be expressly subordinate and junior in priority to the repayment of all amounts outstanding under such Receivable prior to becoming available to pay any amount outstanding under any other obligation owed by such Obligor to CNHICA.  CNHICA hereby represents, warrants and covenants that NH Credit has not retained, and will not retain, any interest in any item of Financed Equipment securing the repayment of any Receivable, whether as a result of the related Obligor agreeing to cross-collateralize obligations or otherwise.

(b)                                 CNHICA makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which CNHCR relies in accepting the Receivables and in transferring the Receivables to the Trust.  Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, 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 the Grant to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

(i)                                     Characteristics of Receivables.  Each Receivable is a Retail Installment Contract and:  (A) (1) (i) was originated in the United States of America by a Dealer in connection with the retail sale of Financed Equipment in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, and (ii) was purchased by CNHICA from a Dealer and validly assigned by such Dealer to CNHICA in accordance with its terms, except that some of the Receivables were purchased by NH Credit from Dealers (after being originated as provided above), securitized in a previous CNH Equipment Trust and purchased by CNHICA through the exercise of a clean-up call relating to that previous securitization or (2) was originated in the United States of America by CNHICA in connection with the financing or refinancing, as applicable, of Financed Equipment in the ordinary course of CNHICA’s business, and in the case of the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), 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 CNHICA except to the extent that such security interest has been assigned by CNHICA to CNHCR, by CNHCR to the Issuing Entity and by the Issuing Entity to the Indenture Trustee, (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) provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate.

(ii)                                  Schedule of Receivables; No Adverse Selection of Receivables; Accuracy of Computer Tape.  The information set forth on Schedule A to the CNHICA Assignment delivered on the Closing Date is true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cutoff Date.  No selection procedures believed by CNHICA to be adverse to the interests of the Trust, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders were or will be utilized in selecting the Receivables.  The computer tape regarding the Receivables made available to CNHCR and its assigns is true and correct in all respects regarding the characteristics of the Receivables.

(iii)                               Compliance with Law.  Each Receivable and the sale 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 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Warranty Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’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, in each case, to the extent applicable.

(iv)                              Binding Obligation.  Each 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 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 Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of CNHICA 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 CNHICA as secured party.

(vii)                           Receivables in Force.  No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Equipment been released from the Lien granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part (other than with respect to equipment released from a Lien in accordance with the Servicing Procedures).

(viii)                        No Amendment or Waiver.  No provision of a 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 Receivable not to conform to the other warranties contained in this Section.

(ix)                              No Defenses.  No right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened or exists with respect to any Receivable.

(x)                                 No Liens.  To the best of CNHICA’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 Receivable, except those pursuant to the Basic Documents.

(xi)                              No Default; Delinquency Limitations.  No Receivable is a non-performing Receivable or has a payment that is more than 90 days overdue as of the Cutoff Date 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 Receivable has occurred and is continuing; and no continuing condition (other than a payment default continuing for a period of not more than 90 days) that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen; and CNHICA has not waived any of the foregoing.  Receivables that are considered “delinquent” (as defined in Item 1101(d) of Regulation AB) constitute less than 20% of the aggregate Statistical Contract Value of all of the Trust’s Receivables as of the Cutoff Date.

(xii)                           Title.  It is the intention of CNHICA that the transfers and assignments contemplated herein constitute a sale of the Receivables from CNHICA to CNHCR and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against CNHICA under any bankruptcy or similar law.  Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments contemplated herein, CNHICA had good title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, CNHCR shall have good title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to CNHCR has been, or within the timeframe required by Section 3.2(b)(xiv) of this Agreement will be, perfected under the UCC.

(xiii)                        Lawful Assignment.  No Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable or any Receivable under this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.

(xiv)                       All Filings Made.  All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give CNHCR a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables will be made on or prior to, or within 10 days after, the Closing Date.

(xv)                          One Original.  There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable.

(xvi)                       Maturity of Receivables.  Each Receivable has a remaining term to maturity of not more than 84 months; the weighted average remaining term of the Receivables is approximately 56.10 months as of the Cutoff Date; the weighted average original term of the Receivables, is approximately 61.80 months.

(xvii)                    Scheduled Payments.  No Receivable has a final scheduled payment date later than six months preceding the Final Scheduled Maturity Date.

(xviii)                 Insurance.  The Obligor on each Receivable is required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Equipment in accordance with CNHICA’s normal requirements.

(xix)                       Concentrations.  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 aggregate Statistical Contract Value of all the Receivables.

(xx)                          Financing.  Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 46.69% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value were secured by equipment that was new at the time the related Receivable was originated; the remainder of the Receivables represent financing of used equipment; Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 87.60% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value of the Receivables, are attributable to financing of agricultural equipment; the remainder of the Receivables are attributable to financing of construction equipment.

(xxi)                       No Bankruptcies.  No Obligor on any Receivable as of the related Cutoff Date 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 Receivable is in repossession status.

(xxiii)                 Chattel Paper.  Each 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 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 Cutoff Date and as shown on the books of CNHICA:  (A) Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 65.06% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had annual scheduled payments, (B) Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 2.72% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had semi-annual scheduled payments, (C) Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 0.91% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had quarterly scheduled payments, (D) Receivables having an aggregate Statistical Contract Value of approximately 22.94% of the Aggregate Statistical Contract Value had monthly scheduled payments, and (E) the remainder of the Receivables had irregularly scheduled payments.

(xxvi)                Perfection Representations.  CNHICA further makes all the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Schedule P.

(xxvii)  No Consumer Receivables.   None of the Receivables is a consumer receivable.

1.                                      General.  The Purchase Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Receivables in favor of CNHCR, which, (a) is enforceable upon execution of the Purchase Agreement against creditors of and purchasers from CNHICA, 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 5 below).

2.                                      General.  The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of UCC Section 9-102.  CNHICA has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest against the Obligor in the Financed Equipment securing the Receivables.

3.                                      Creation.  Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CNHICA owns and has good and marketable title to, or has a valid security interest in, the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
