ARTICLE II

Organization


 


SECTION 2.1               Name.  The Trust created hereby
shall be known as “CNH Equipment Trust 2010-A”, in which name the Trustee may
conduct the business of the Trust, make and execute contracts and other
instruments on behalf of the Trust and sue and be sued.


 


SECTION 2.2               Office.  The office of the Trust
shall be in care of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other
address as the Trustee may designate by written notice to the
Certificateholders and the Depositor.


 


SECTION 2.3               Purposes
and Powers. 
The purpose of the Trust is, and the Trust shall have the power and
authority to, engage in the following activities:


 


(a)           to issue the Notes pursuant
to the Indenture and the Trust Certificates pursuant to this Agreement and to
sell the Notes and/or the Trust Certificates in one or more transactions;


 


(b)           with the proceeds of the
sale of the Notes and/or the Trust Certificates, to purchase the Receivables
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


 


(c)           to assign, Grant, transfer,
pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture and to
hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement any portion of the Trust Estate released from the Lien of,
and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the Indenture;


 


(d)           to enter into and perform
its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is to be a party;


 


(e)           to engage in those
activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or
convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected
therewith; and


 


(f)            subject to compliance with
the Basic Documents, to engage in such other activities as may be required in
connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the making of
distributions to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders.


 


The Trust shall not engage
in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as
required or authorized by this Agreement or the Basic Documents.


 


SECTION 2.4               Appointment
of Trustee.  The Depositor hereby
appoints Wilmington Trust Company as Trustee of the Trust effective as of the
date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein.


 


SECTION 2.5               Initial
Capital Contribution of Trust Estate.  The Depositor hereby
contributes to the Trustee, as of the date hereof, the sum of $1.00. The
Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of the date
hereof, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Trust
Estate and shall be deposited in the 


 


2

















 


Certificate Distribution Account. The Depositor shall pay
organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the
request of the Trustee, promptly reimburse the Trustee for any such expenses
paid by the Trustee.  The Depositor may
also take steps necessary, including the execution and filing of any necessary
filings, to ensure that the Trust is in compliance with any applicable State
securities law.


 


SECTION 2.6               Declaration
of Trust. 
The Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Trust Estate in trust
upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of
the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic
Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute
a statutory trust under the Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute
the governing instrument of such statutory trust.  It is the intention of the parties hereto
that, solely for income and franchise tax purposes, until the Trust
Certificates are held by a Person other than the Depositor, the Trust be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Depositor and the Notes be treated
as debt of the Depositor.  At such time
that the Trust Certificates are held by more than one Person, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that, solely for income and franchise tax
purposes, the Trust be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the
partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the
partners of the partnership being the Certificateholders (including the
Depositor (or its successor in interest) in its capacity as recipient of
distributions from the Spread Account), and the Notes being debt of the
partnership.  The parties agree that,
unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, until the Trust
Certificates are held by more than one Person the Trust will not file or cause
to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms
consistent with the characterization of the Trust as an entity separate from
the Depositor (or other sole owner of the Trust Certificates). Effective as of
the date hereof, the Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth
herein and in the Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of
the Trust.  The Trustee shall file a
Certificate of Trust on behalf of the Trust with the Secretary of State pursuant
to Section 3810 of the Trust Statute.


 


SECTION 2.7               Liability
of the Certificateholders.  No Certificateholder shall
have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Trust. The
Certificateholders shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to stockholders of corporations under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.


 


SECTION 2.8               Title
to Trust Property.  Subject to the Lien granted
in the Indenture, legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all
times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in
any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in
a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the
Trustee, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be.


 


SECTION 2.9               Situs
of Trust.  The Trust
will be located and administered in the States of Delaware and Pennsylvania
and/or in any other states to which the Depositor consents in writing.  All bank accounts maintained by the Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or New York
and/or in any other states to which the Depositor consents in writing.  The Trust shall not have any employees.  Payments will be received by the Trust only
in Delaware or New York and/or in any other states to which the Depositor
consents in writing and payments will be made by the Trust only from Delaware
or New York and/or in any other states to which the Depositor consents in
writing.


 


3

















 


SECTION 2.10             Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor.  The Depositor hereby represents and warrants
to the Trustee that as of the date hereof:


 


(a)           The Depositor is duly
organized and validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its
properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned
and such business is presently conducted.


 


(b)           The Depositor is duly qualified
to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has
obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which
the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall require
such qualifications.


 


(c)           The Depositor has the power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms;
the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to
be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly
authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary
limited liability company action; and the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary
limited liability company action.


 


(d)           The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms
hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under, the certificate of formation, limited liability company
agreement or by-laws of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; or result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant
to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than
pursuant to the Basic Documents); or violate any law or, to the best of the
Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the
Depositor of any court or of any federal or State regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction
over the Depositor or its properties.


 


(e)           The Depositor has duly
executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).


 


SECTION 2.11             Federal
Income Tax Allocations; Tax Treatment.  If the Trust Certificates and interests in
the Spread Account are held by more than one Person, this Agreement shall be
amended to include such provisions as are required or appropriate under
Subchapter K of the Code in order for the Trust to be treated as a partnership
whose partners are the beneficial owners of the Trust Certificates and the
Depositor (or other holders of interests in the Spread Account).

ARTICLE III

Trust Certificates and Transfer of Interests


 


SECTION 3.1               Initial
Ownership.  Upon the
formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, and until the issuance
of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the
Trust; and upon the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor will no
longer be a beneficiary of the Trust, except to the extent that the Depositor
is a Certificateholder.


 


SECTION 3.2               The
Trust Certificates.  The
Trust Certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
and shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature
of an authorized officer of the Trustee. 
Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be, when authenticated pursuant to Section 3.3, validly issued, fully
paid, non-assessable and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such
Trust Certificates.


 


SECTION 3.3               Authentication
of Trust Certificates. 
Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificate
evidencing the 100% beneficial interest in the Trust to be executed on behalf
of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the
Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any vice
president, any secretary, any assistant secretary, any treasurer, or any
assistant treasurer, without further action by the Depositor.  No Trust Certificate shall entitle its holder
to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless
there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Trustee
by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories; such certificate
of authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.  No further Trust
Certificates shall be issued except pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5 hereunder.


 


SECTION 3.4               Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates.  The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept, at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8,
a register (the “Certificate Register”)
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust
shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Trust Certificates.  The
Paying Agent shall be the “Certificate
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Trust Certificates and the
transfers of Trust Certificates as herein provided.  Upon any resignation of any Certificate
Registrar, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects
not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Certificate
Registrar.  The initial Trust Certificate
shall be registered in the name of “CNH
Capital Receivables LLC” as the initial registered owner thereof.


 


Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.8,
the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates
evidencing 


 


5

















 


such
transferee’s beneficial interest in the Trust, which Trust Certificates will be
issued in amounts equal, in the aggregate, to the percentage of beneficial
interest in the Trust transferred by such transferor.


 


At the option of a
Certificateholder, upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8,
a Trust Certificate may be exchanged for a new Trust Certificate evidencing the
same percentage of beneficial interest in the Trust as the Trust Certificate so
exchanged.  Whenever any Trust
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Trust Certificates that the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


All Trust Certificates
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates
shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Trust
Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Every Trust Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the
Certificateholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No
transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be registered unless the transferee shall
have provided (i) if the transferee is not the Seller or an Affiliate of
the Seller and the transferor is not the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller,
an opinion of counsel that no registration is required under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or applicable State laws, and (ii) if the transferee
is the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, an Officer’s Certificate as to
compliance with Section 6.6
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with its customary practice.


 


No service charge shall be
made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Trust Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Trust Certificates.


 


The Trust Certificates and
any beneficial interest in such Trust Certificates may not be acquired by: (a) an
employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is
subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Code or (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of
any of the foregoing (each a “Benefit Plan”).
By accepting and holding a Trust Certificate or an interest therein, the
Certificateholder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
that it is not a Benefit Plan. The Trustee shall have no obligation to
determine whether or not a Certificateholder of a Trust Certificate is or is
not a Benefit Plan.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no transfer of a Trust Certificate or beneficial
interest therein shall be allowed, and any such purported transfer shall be
void ab initio, if such transfer
would cause the Trust to have more than 100 partners within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(1). 
For purposes of determining the number of partners in the Trust under
Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(1), a person owning an interest in a
partnership, grantor trust, or S corporation (a “flow-through entity”) that owns, 


 


6

















 


directly
or through other flow-through entities, an interest in the Trust, will be
treated as a partner in the Trust if more than 50 percent of the value of such
person’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the
flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Trust.


 


No transfer (or purported
transfer) of a Trust Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein), whether
to another Certificateholder or to a person who is not a Certificateholder,
shall be effective, and any such transfer (or purported transfer) shall be void
ab initio, and no person shall
otherwise become a Certificateholder, and none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any of the Certificateholders will recognize such transfer (or
purported transfer), unless the transferee has first represented and warranted
in writing to the Trust that:


 


(A)          it is acquiring
the Trust Certificate for its own account and is the sole beneficial owner of
such Trust Certificate;


 


(B)          the transfer is
not being effected on or through (x) an “established securities market”
within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(1) of the Code, including
without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation
system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (y) a “secondary
market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(2) of
the Code and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations thereunder;
and


 


(C)          such transfer
will not cause the Trust to be classified as a publicly traded partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such purchaser or transferee will not
take any action, including any subsequent disposition of such Trust Certificate
(or any beneficial interest therein), that would cause the Trust to be treated
as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


 


SECTION 3.5               Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates.  If:  (a) any
mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar,
or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate (provided, that the
Trustee shall not be required to verify the evidence provided to it), and (b) there
shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate shall have been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a replacement Trust Certificate
evidencing the same percentage of beneficial interest in the Trust as the Trust
Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen.


 


In connection with the
issuance of any replacement Trust Certificate under this Section, the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment by the Certificateholder
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith.


 


Any replacement Trust
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate shall constitute
conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether
or not the mutilated, lost, stolen or 


 


7

















 


destroyed
Trust Certificate shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 3.6               Persons
Deemed Certificateholders.  Prior to due presentation of a Trust
Certificate for registration of transfer of any Trust Certificate, the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Trust
Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register (as of the day of
determination) as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.2
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee nor
the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 3.7               Access
to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.  The Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by
the Trustee of a request therefor from the Servicer or the Depositor in
writing, a list, in such form as the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most
recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders evidencing in the
aggregate not less than 25% of the beneficial interest in the Trust apply in writing
to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application shall be
accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt
of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours
to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving
and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any
of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee accountable by
reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.


 


SECTION 3.8               Maintenance
of Office or Agency.  The
Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Trust
Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served.  The Trustee initially designates its
Corporate Trust Office as its principal corporate trust office for such
purposes.  The Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the Depositor and to the Certificateholders of any change in
the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.


 


SECTION 3.9               Appointment
of Paying Agent.  The Paying
Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2
and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. Any Paying
Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate
Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to
above. The Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the
Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have
failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect.  The Paying Agent shall
initially be the Indenture Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by and
acceptable to the Trustee.  The Paying
Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice
to the Trustee. In the event that the Indenture Trustee shall not be the Paying
Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which
shall be a bank or trust company).  The
Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in



 


8

















 


which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent (other
than the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee as Paying Agent) shall agree with the
Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.  The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed
funds to the Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall
also return all funds in its possession to the Trustee.  The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.1
shall apply to the Indenture Trustee or Trustee to the extent the Indenture
Trustee or Trustee is a Paying Agent, for so long as the Indenture Trustee or
Trustee, as applicable, shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in
this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
context requires otherwise.


 


ARTICLE IV

Actions by Trustee


 


SECTION 4.1               Prior
Notice to Certificateholders With Respect to Certain Matters.  With respect to the following matters, the
Trustee shall not take action unless, at least 30 days before the taking of
such action (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to in writing by all
Certificateholders), the Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholders in
writing of the proposed action and the Certificateholders shall not have
notified the Trustee in writing prior to the 30th day (or such agreed upon
shorter period) after such notice is given that such Certificateholders have
withheld consent or shall not have provided alternative direction:


 


(a)           the initiation of any claim
or lawsuit by the Trust (except claims or lawsuits brought in connection with
the collection of the Receivables) and the compromise of any action, claim or
lawsuit brought by or against the Trust (except with respect to the
aforementioned claims or lawsuits for collection of Receivables);


 


(b)           the amendment of the
Indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required
and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of the
Certificateholders;


 


(c)           the amendment, change or
modification of the Administration Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or
to amend or supplement any provision in a manner, or add any provision, that
would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders;
or


 


(d)           the appointment pursuant to
the Indenture of a successor Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee,
or pursuant to this Agreement of a successor Certificate Registrar (other than
the Trustee), or the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, Paying
Agent or Indenture Trustee or Certificate Registrar (other than to the Trustee)
of its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, as applicable.


 


SECTION 4.2               Action
By Certificateholders With Respect to Certain Matters.  The Trustee shall not have the power, except
upon the direction of the Certificateholders, to: (a) remove the
Administrator under the Administration Agreement, (b) appoint a successor 


 


9

















 


Administrator, (c) remove the Servicer under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement; or (d) except as expressly provided in the Basic
Documents, sell the Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The
Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon
written instructions signed by the Certificateholders.


 


SECTION 4.3               Action
By Certificateholders With Respect to Bankruptcy.  The Trustee shall not have the power to
commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Trust (i) until
one year and one day after the Outstanding Amount of all the Notes has been
reduced to zero and (ii) without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders
and (iii) without the delivery to the Trustee by each such
Certificateholder of a certificate certifying that such Certificateholder
reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.


 


SECTION 4.4               Restrictions
on Certificateholders’ Power.  The Certificateholders shall not direct the
Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction
would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Trustee under this
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3, nor shall the Trustee be
obligated to follow any such direction, if given.


 


SECTION 4.5               Majority
Control.  Except as
expressly provided herein, any action that may be taken by the
Certificateholders under this Agreement may be taken by the Certificateholders
holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the beneficial interest in the Trust
at the time of such action. Except as expressly provided herein, any written
notice of the Certificateholders delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective
if signed by Certificateholders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the
beneficial interest in the Trust at the time of such action.


 


ARTICLE V

Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties


 


SECTION 5.1               Establishment
of Trust Account.  The Trustee
or the Paying Agent on the Trust’s behalf, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Trust an
Eligible Deposit Account (the “Certificate
Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that
the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.


 


The Trust shall possess all
right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the
Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall
be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee or the Paying Agent for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. 
If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an
Eligible Deposit Account, the Trustee or the Paying Agent on the Trust’s behalf
(or the Depositor on behalf of the Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution
Account is not then held by the initial Paying Agent or the Trustee or an
affiliate thereof) shall, within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not
to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency Condition shall be
satisfied), establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible
Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new
Certificate Distribution Account.


 


10

















 


SECTION 5.2       Applications of Trust
Funds.


 


(a)           On each Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee (if any Notes are Outstanding) or the Trustee (if the Notes
have been paid in full) will distribute to Certificateholders, on a pro rata
basis, amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement.


 


(b)           On each Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee or the Trustee shall send to each Certificateholder the
statement provided to the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, by
the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.11
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


(c)           In the event that any withholding
tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a
Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to
the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section.  The Indenture Trustee and the Trustee, as
applicable, are hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise
distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any
tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent
the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, from contesting any such
tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).  The amount of any withholding tax imposed
with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to
such Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust. If there is a
possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution
(such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Indenture Trustee
or the Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, withhold such
amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust shall
withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service, pursuant to Sections
1441, 1442 and 1446 of the Code (or any successor provisions or any other
provision as may be enacted into law), at such times as required by such
provisions, such amounts as the Trust is required to withhold under such
provision on account of any foreign Certificateholder’s distributive share of
income of the Trust, as if the entire amount of such foreign Certificateholder’s
distributive share of such income is subject to withholding tax pursuant to
such provisions.  To the extent that a
foreign Certificateholder claims to be entitled to a reduced rate of, or
exemption from, U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax
treaty, or otherwise, such foreign Certificateholder shall furnish the Depositor
and the Trustee with such information and forms as it may require and are
necessary to comply with the regulations governing the obligations of
withholding tax agents, which the Depositor may forward to the Indenture
Trustee.  Each foreign Certificateholder
represents and warrants that any such information and form furnished by it
shall be true and accurate and agrees to indemnify the Trust and each of the
other Certificateholders from any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting
from the filing of inaccurate or incomplete information or forms relating to
such withholding taxes.  In the event
that a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding
tax, the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee, as applicable, shall reasonably
cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such 


 


11

















 


Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee or the
Trustee, as applicable, for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.


 


SECTION 5.3               Method
of Payment.  Subject to Section 9.1(c),
distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date
shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such
Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate
Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to
such Payment Date and such Certificateholder’s Trust Certificates aggregate not
less than $1,000,000, or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at
the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.


 


SECTION 5.4               No
Segregation of Monies; No Interest.  Subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, monies
received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent hereunder need not be segregated in
any manner except to the extent required by law or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be
prescribed by law, and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall
not be liable for any interest thereon.


 


SECTION 5.5               Accounting
and Reports to the Noteholders, Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue
Service and Others.  The
Depositor or, if any Trust Certificates are held by any Person other than the
Depositor or its Affiliate, the Trustee, shall: (a) maintain (or cause to
be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis on the accrual
method of accounting, (b) deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be
required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as
may be required (including Schedule K-1, if applicable) to enable each
Certificateholder to prepare its federal, State and local income tax returns, (c) file
such tax returns relating to the Trust (including, if applicable, a partnership
information return on Internal Revenue Service Form 1065 or its
successor), and make such elections as may from time to time be required or
appropriate under any applicable State or federal statute or rule or
regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust’s characterization as a
disregarded entity or partnership for federal income tax purposes, as
applicable, (d) cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required
by law and (e) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as
described in and in accordance with Section 5.2(c) with respect to
income or distributions to Certificateholders. 
The Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include
in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the
Receivables and shall elect under Section 171 of the Code to amortize any
bond premium with respect to the Receivables. 
The Trustee shall not make the election provided under Section 754
of the Code.


 


SECTION 5.6       Signature on Returns; Tax Matters
Partner.


 


(a)           The Depositor, or if any
Trust Certificates are held by any Person other than the Depositor, the Trustee
shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, unless
applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which
case such documents shall be signed by such Certificateholder.


 


12

















 


(b)           In the event the Trust is
characterized as a partnership, in accordance with Section 2.6, the
Depositor shall be designated the “tax matters partner” of the Trust pursuant
to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations.


 


ARTICLE VI

Authority and Duties of Trustee


 


SECTION 6.1               General
Authority.  The Trustee
is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which
the Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as
an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is to
be a party, in each case in such form as the Depositor shall approve as
evidenced conclusively by the Trustee’s execution thereof, and, on behalf of
the Trust, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the
Notes in the aggregate principal amount specified in a letter of instruction
from the Depositor to the Trustee.  In
addition to the foregoing, the Trustee is authorized, but shall not be
obligated, to take all actions required of the Trust pursuant to the Basic
Documents.  The Trustee is further
authorized from time to time to take such action as the Administrator
recommends with respect to the Basic Documents.


 


SECTION 6.2               General
Duties.  It shall be
the duty of the Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its
responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement and the Basic Documents to which
the Trust is a party and to administer the Trust in the interest of the
Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic
Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration
Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trustee hereunder
or under any Basic Document, and the Trustee shall not be held liable for the
default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the
Administration Agreement.


 


SECTION 6.3       Action upon Instruction.


 


(a)           Subject to Article IV and in accordance with
the Basic Documents, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct
the Trustee in the management of the Trust. Such direction may be exercised at
any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV.


 


(b)           The Trustee shall not be
required to take any action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the
Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by
counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the
Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is
otherwise contrary to law.


 


(c)           Whenever the Trustee is
unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by
this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Trustee shall promptly give notice
(in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be
adopted, and to the extent the Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with
any 


 


13

















 


written instruction of the Certificateholders received, the Trustee
shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.  If the Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter
period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be
necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take
or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action
or inaction.


 


(d)           In the event that the
Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or
any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or
is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in
the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Trustee or is
silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Trustee is required
to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Trustee may give notice
(in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Trustee
acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such
instruction received, the Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such
action or inaction, to any Person.  If
the Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within 10 days of
such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be
specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may,
but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be
in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to
any Person for such action or inaction.


 


SECTION 6.4               No
Duties Except as Specified in This Agreement or in Instructions.  The Trustee shall not have any duty or
obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell,
dispose of or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or
refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document
contemplated hereby to which the Trustee is a party, except as expressly
provided by this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3;
and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any
Basic Document against the Trustee.  The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain
the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to
prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or
to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. 
The Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and
expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on
any part of the Trust Estate arising by, through or under the Trustee (including
in its individual capacity) which are unrelated to the administration or
ownership of the Trust Estate.


 


Further, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other document, the Trustee shall not
be required to execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the Trust, the
Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person any filings, certificates,
affidavits or other instruments required under Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 
Notwithstanding any Person’s right to instruct the Trustee, neither the
Trustee nor any agent, employee, director or officer of the


 


14
















 


Trustee
shall have any obligation to execute any certificates or other documents
required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the refusal to comply with any such
instructions shall not constitute a default or breach under this Agreement or
any other document in connection herewith.


 


SECTION 6.5               No
Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions.  The Trustee shall not manage, control, use,
sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except: (i) in
accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic
Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.


 


SECTION 6.6               Restrictions.  The Trustee shall not take any action (a) that
is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the
actual knowledge of the Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable
as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.  The Certificateholders shall not direct the
Trustee to take action that would violate this Section.

of Trusts and Duties.  The

Agreement. The Trustee also agrees to disburse all monies actually received by
it constituting part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents
and this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable
hereunder or under any Basic Document under any circumstances, except: (i) for
its own willful misconduct or negligence or (ii) in the case of the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by the
Trustee. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the
exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence):

liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
accordance with the instructions of the Administrator, the Servicer or any

(c)           no provision of this
Agreement or any Basic Document shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its rights or powers hereunder or under any Basic Document, if the Trustee
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or
provided to it;


 


15

















 


(d)           under no circumstances shall
the Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the
Basic Documents, including the principal of and interest on the Notes;


 


(e)           the Trustee shall not be
responsible for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement
or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form, character,
genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Trust Estate or for
or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the Basic Documents, other than
the certificate of authentication on the Trust Certificates, and the Trustee
shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to any

satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be
incurred by the Trustee therein or thereby. 
The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in
this Agreement or in any Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and

hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, that as of the date hereof (other than with respect to Section 7.3(e),
which is as of the dates specified therein):


 


(a)           it is a banking corporation
duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, with the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement,


 


16

















 


(b)           it has taken all corporate
action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this
Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its
officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its
behalf,


 


(c)           the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result
in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or
without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Trustee, or to the best of its knowledge
without independent investigation any indenture, agreement or other instrument
to which the Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; or violate any federal
or State law governing the banking or trust powers of the Trustee; or, to the
best of the Trustee’s knowledge, violate any order, rule or regulation
applicable to the Trustee of any court or of any federal or State regulatory
body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Trustee or its properties,


 


(d)           this Agreement, assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Depositor, constitutes a valid,
legal and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and


 


(e)           as of the date of the
Underwriting Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus Date, the Prospectus Date
and the Closing Date, to its knowledge without independent investigation, there
are no legal proceedings pending against the Trustee, or of which any property
of the Trustee is subject, that are material to the Noteholders, and to the
knowledge of the Trustee no such legal proceedings are contemplated by any
governmental authority.


 


SECTION 7.4               Information
to be Provided by the Trustee.  The Trustee shall notify the Depositor
promptly after the Trustee becomes aware of (a) the initiation of any
legal proceedings against the Trustee, or of which any property of the Trustee

instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other document or paper (whether in its original or facsimile
form) believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper
party or parties. The Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of
the board of directors or other governing body of any party as conclusive
evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the
same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the
determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Trustee may
for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, 


 


17

















 


signed by the president, any vice president, any treasurer, any
assistant treasurer, any secretary, any assistant secretary or other authorized
officers of the relevant party as to such fact or matter, and such certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.


 


(b)           In the exercise or
administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Trustee: (i) may
act directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered
into with any of them, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or
misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys shall have
been selected by the Trustee with reasonable care, and (ii) may consult
with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected with
reasonable care and employed by it.  The

faith by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such
counsel, accountants or other such Persons and which opinion or advice states
that such action is not contrary to this Agreement or any Basic Document.


 


SECTION 7.6               Not
Acting in Individual Capacity.  Except as provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts
hereby created Wilmington Trust Company acts solely as Trustee hereunder and
not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the
Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
Basic Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction
thereof.


 


SECTION 7.7               Trustee
Not Liable For Trust Certificates or Receivables.  The recitals contained herein and in the
Trust Certificates (other than the signature and counter-signature of the
Trustee on the Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
thereof.  The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any
Basic Document, of the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature, if any, of the Trustee on the Trust Certificates) or of the
Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents.  The Trustee shall at no time have any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and
enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any
security interest created by any Receivable in any of the Financed Equipment or
the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to

be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement or the Noteholders
under the Indenture, including: (a) the existence, condition and ownership
of any Financed Equipment, (b) the existence and enforceability of any
insurance thereon, (c) the existence and contents of any Receivable on any

Receivable, and (g) the compliance by the Depositor or the Servicer with
any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related
document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action
of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer
taken in the name of the Trustee.


 


SECTION 7.8               Trustee
May Not Own Notes.  The Trustee shall not, in its individual
capacity, but may in a fiduciary capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes
or otherwise

the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer with the same rights as it would have if
it were not the Trustee.

imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trustee or any other
Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the
Basic Documents, the Trust Estate, the administration of the Trust Estate or
the action or inaction of the Trustee hereunder, except only that the Depositor
shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and
against Expenses arising or resulting from: (a) such Indemnified Party’s
willful misconduct or negligence, (b) with respect to the Trustee, the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by the
Trustee or (c) any tax imposed on an Indemnified Party based on, measured
by or with respect to the net or gross income, capital or net worth, gross or
net receipts, franchise, excess profits or conduct of business by such

shall not be unreasonably withheld.

ARTICLE IX

Termination of Trust Agreement


 


SECTION 9.1               Termination
of Trust Agreement.  (a) The
Trust shall dissolve upon the final distribution by the Trustee of all monies
or other property or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the
Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Article V.  The
bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any
Certificateholder shall not: (x) operate to dissolve or terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the
Trust or Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto.


 


(b)           Except as provided in Section 9.1(a),
neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to dissolve,
revoke or terminate the Trust; provided  however, for the sake of
clarity, no action is necessary by the Depositor, the Certificateholder or any
other Person as a prerequisite for a dissolution under Section 9.1(a) to
occur.


 


(c)           Notice of any anticipated
dissolution of the Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which the
Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust Certificates to the Paying Agent
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days
of receipt of notice of such anticipated dissolution from the Servicer given
pursuant to Section 9.1(c) of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such notice from the Trustee shall state:
(i) the Payment Date upon which final payment of the Trust Certificates
shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the
office of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such
final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and
surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein
specified.  The Trustee shall give such
notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying
Agent at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation
and surrender of the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be
distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date
pursuant to Section 5.2.


 


In the event that all of the
Certificateholders shall not surrender their Trust Certificates for
cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Trust Certificates for cancellation and
to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice
all the Trust Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take
appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out
of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement.  Any funds remaining in the Trust after
exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Trustee to the
Depositor.

Trust and the payment of all liabilities of the Trust in accordance with
applicable law, the Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled
by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in

to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published. At all times, at least one Trustee of the Trust
shall satisfy the requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Trust
Statute. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.


 


SECTION 10.2     Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.


 


(a)           The Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Administrator. 
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee.  Other
than such instrument, and as provided in Section 10.2(b) and 10.3
below, no other documentation or action shall be required, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in the Basic Documents, no consent shall be
required of any Person with respect to such appointment or entering into any
such agreement, and the amendment provisions hereof will not apply to such instrument.  If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the
Administrator any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.


 


If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 10.1
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator,
or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the
Trustee.  If the Administrator shall
remove the Trustee under the authority of the preceding sentence, the
Administrator shall promptly 


 


21

















 


appoint
a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Trustee so removed and one copy
to the successor Trustee, and pay all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee.  Other than such instrument, and as provided
in Section 10.2(b) and 10.3 below, no other documentation or action
shall be required, and notwithstanding anything herein or in the Basic
Documents to the contrary, no consent shall be required of any Person with
respect to such appointment or entering into any such agreement, and the
amendment provisions hereof will not apply to such instrument.


 


(b)           Any resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.3 and
payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Trustee.  The Administrator shall provide notice of
such resignation or removal of the Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.


 


SECTION 10.3             Successor
Trustee.  Any
successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and
obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if
originally named as the Trustee.  Such
instrument shall identify the situs of the Trust, locations where payments will
be made and/or received, and where bank accounts will be maintained for purposes
of Section 2.9 hereof, if such locations are to change following such
appointment.  As of the effective date of
such instrument, Section 2.9 hereof shall be read to include such
locations identified in such instrument. The predecessor Trustee shall upon
payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Trustee all documents
and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the
Administrator and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully
and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.


 


No successor Trustee shall
accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.


 


Upon acceptance of
appointment by a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.  If the Administrator shall fail to mail such
notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee,
the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Administrator. Any successor Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate
of Trust as required by the Statutory Trust Act.


 


SECTION 10.4             Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.  Any corporation or other entity into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, such corporation shall be
eligible pursuant to Section 10.1,
without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further 


 


22

















 


act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; and provided further, that the Trustee shall mail
notice of such merger or consolidation to the Rating Agencies.


 


SECTION 10.5             Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of
any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or any Financed Equipment may
at the time be located, the Administrator and the Trustee acting jointly shall
have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or
more Person(s) approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee(s), jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee(s), of all or any part of the Trust Estate,
and to vest in such Person(s), in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable.  If the
Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Trustee alone shall have the power
to make such appointment.  No co-trustee
or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1
and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required pursuant to Section 10.3.


 


Each separate trustee and
co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject
to the following provisions and conditions:


 


(i)            all rights, powers, duties
and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or
imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee
or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in
such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act(s) are to be performed, the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act(s), in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust
Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;


 


(ii)           no trustee under this Agreement
shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
trustee under this Agreement; and


 


(iii)          the Administrator and the
Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee.


 


Any notice, request or other
writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the
then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall
refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate
trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment,
either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided 


 


23

















 


therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Each such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.


 


Any separate trustee or
co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact
with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its
name.  If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.


 


The Trustee shall have no
obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally
required in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may be
located.

SECTION 11.16             Indemnification.


 


(a)           WTC agrees to pay,
and to protect, indemnify and save harmless Depositor and CNHCA from and against,
any and all claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties), actions, suits,
judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable fees and
expenses of attorneys or, as necessary consultants and auditors and reasonable
costs of investigations) (collectively, “Losses”) of any nature to the
extent such Losses result from:


 


(i)            any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in (x) the information provided by
the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.14
(“Periodic Information”) or (y) the language set forth in Section 11.16(b) that was furnished by WTC for use under the
heading “The Trustee” in the prospectus supplement contained in the Prospectus
and the Preliminary Prospectus (the “Disclosure Information”, and
together with the Periodic Information and the 11.15 Information, the “Trustee
Information”) or (z) Section 11.15 (the
“11.15 Information”), or


 


(ii)           the omission to
state in the Trustee Information a material fact required to be stated in the
Trustee Information, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,


 


(b)           The Disclosure
Information for purposes of Section 11.16(a)(ii) is
as follows:


 


“Wilmington Trust Company is the trustee
under the trust agreement.  Wilmington
Trust Company is a Delaware banking corporation with trust powers incorporated
in 1903. Wilmington Trust Company’s principal place of business is located at
1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, 19890. Wilmington Trust Company
has served as trustee in numerous asset-backed securities transactions
involving equipment retail installment loans and retail installment sale
contracts.  Wilmington Trust Company has
served as trustee for trusts involving securitizations of retail installment
sale contracts and retail installment loans by the depositor since 2007.


 


Wilmington Trust Company
is subject to various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the
ordinary course of business. Wilmington Trust Company does not believe that the
ultimate resolution of any of these proceedings will have a materially adverse
effect on its services as trustee or on the noteholders.


 


Wilmington
Trust Company has provided the above information for purposes of complying with
Regulation AB. Other than the above two paragraphs, Wilmington Trust 


 


29

















 


Company
has not participated in the preparation of, and is not responsible for, any
other information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying
prospectus.”


 


(c)           With respect to the indemnification provided in Section 11.16(a),
in no event will WTC be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages
relating to such indemnification.  In
case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant thereto, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify
WTC in writing.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party.  WTC may, at its option, at any time upon
written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding relating
to such indemnity and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so
designated would have no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection
with such representation.  Unless it shall assume the defense of any
proceeding WTC shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent.  If WTC assumes the defense of any
proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of
the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the
indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding
which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by
the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified
party.


 


(d)           Depositor agrees to pay, and to
protect, indemnify and save harmless WTC, and its respective officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls
WTC, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, from and against, any and all claims, losses, liabilities
(including penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys or, as necessary,
consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations) (collectively,
“WTC Losses”) of any nature to the extent such WTC Losses result from any
untrue statement of a material fact contained under the heading “Depositor” in
the base prospectus contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus,
any omission to state under the heading “Depositor” in the base prospectus
contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading, or any
untrue information with respect to Affiliation Parties provided by the
Depositor pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11.14 (unless WTC has
actual knowledge that such Affiliation Party information is incorrect).


 


(e)           With respect to the indemnification provided in Section 11.16(d),
in no event will Depositor be liable for special, indirect or consequential
damages relating to such indemnification. 
In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall
be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
thereto, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify Depositor
in writing.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense 


 


30

















 


of
such indemnified party.  Depositor may,
at its option, at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume
the defense of any proceeding relating to such indemnity and may designate
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in connection
therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no actual or
potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation. 
Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding Depositor shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent.  If Depositor assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be
entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party
or, if such settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in
connection with all matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted
against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such
settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.


 


SECTION 11.17             Paying Agent
Protection.  The Paying
Agent shall be entitled to all the same rights, protections, immunities and
indemnities as the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture as if specifically set
forth herein.

CNH

TRUST
CERTIFICATE


 


evidencing a fractional
undivided beneficial interest in the Trust (as defined below), the property of
which includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts and retail
installment loans secured by new and used agricultural, construction and/or
other equipment and sold to the Trust by CNH Capital Receivables LLC.


 


(This Trust Certificate does
not represent an interest in or obligation of CNH Capital Receivables LLC, CNH
Capital America LLC, New Holland Credit Company, LLC, CNH Global N.V. or CNH
America LLC, or any of their respective affiliates, except to the extent
described below.)


 


THIS CERTIFIES THAT CNH
CAPITAL RECEIVABLES LLC is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid,
fractional undivided interest in CNH Equipment Trust 2010-A (the “Trust”) formed by CNH Capital Receivables
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Depositor”).


 


The Trust was created
pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of March 1, 2010 (the “Trust Agreement”)
between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement or the Sale
and Servicing Agreement (the “Sale and
Servicing Agreement”) dated as of
[                     ],
2010 among the Trust, the Depositor and New Holland Credit Company, LLC, as
servicer (the “Servicer”), as
applicable.  This Trust Certificate is
one of the duly authorized Trust Certificates (herein called the “Trust Certificates”) issued under and subject
to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust
Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which holder is bound. 
The provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement are hereby
incorporated by reference as though set forth in their entirety herein.


 


Issued under the Indenture
dated as of [                     ],
2010 between the Trust and The Bank Of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
Indenture Trustee, are notes designated as “[     ]% Class A-1
Asset Backed Notes,” “[     ]% Class A-2 Asset
Backed Notes,”  “[     ]% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes,” “[     ]%
Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes,” and “[     ]% Class B
Asset Backed Notes”.  The holder of this
Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive
distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the
rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and
the Indenture.


 


A-1

















 


It is the intent of the
Depositor, Servicer and the holder of this Trust Certificate that, for purposes
of federal income, State and local income and franchise and any other income
taxes measured in whole or in part by income, until the Trust Certificates are
held by a Person other than the Depositor, the Trust be disregarded as an
entity separate from the Depositor.  At
such time that the Trust Certificates are held by more than one person, it is
the intent of the Depositor, Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for
purposes of federal income, State and local income and franchise and any other
income taxes measured in whole or in part by income, the Trust be treated as a
partnership, the assets of which are the assets held by the Trust, and the
Certificateholders (including the Depositor (and its transferees and assigns)
in its capacity as recipient of distributions from the Spread Account) will be
treated as partners in that partnership. 
The Depositor and the holder of this Trust Certificate, by acceptance of
this Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with
the treatment of, the Trust Certificates as such for tax purposes.


 


The Certificateholder, by
its acceptance of this Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such
Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the
Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to this Trust
Certificate, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents.


 


The Certificateholder, by
its acceptance of this Trust Certificate, represents and warrants in writing
that: (a) it is acquiring this Trust Certificate for its own account and
is the sole beneficial owner of such Trust Certificate; (b) the transfer
is not being effected on or through (x) an “established securities market”
within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(1) of the Code, including
without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation
system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (y) a “secondary
market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704(a)(2) of
the Code and any proposed, temporary or final Treasury regulations thereunder;
and (c) such transfer will not cause the Trust to be classified as a
publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and such
purchaser or transferee will not take any action, including any subsequent
disposition of such Trust Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein),
that would cause the Trust to be treated as a publicly traded partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.


 


This Trust Certificate may
not be acquired by or for the account of: (i) an employee benefit plan (as
defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), that is subject to the provisions of Title
I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iii) any entity whose
underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing (a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding
this Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.


 


This Trust Certificate does
not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the Servicer,
CNH Capital America LLC, New Holland Credit Company, LLC, CNH America LLC, CNH
Global N.V., the Trustee or any affiliates of any of them and no recourse may
be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth
or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents.

Unless the certificate of
authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the
Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or be valid for any purpose.


 


This Trust Certificate shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without
reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and
remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.
