 ARTICLE 1 

ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSES 
 1.1
Establishment and History. The Case New Holland Inc. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted effective as of January 1, 2005. The Plan operated through December 31, 2008 in compliance with the provisions
of Code section 409A and applicable guidance published prior to 2008. The Plan was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2008 to conform to the provisions of Code section 409A and the final regulations under
section 409A. The first restatement of the Plan also reflected the merger into the Plan of the Case New Holland Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) under which participation; deferrals and vesting were frozen as of
December 31, 2004. The Prior Plan is incorporated as Exhibit A. Amounts earned and vested under the Prior Plan as of December 31, 2004 are separately accounted for under this Plan and the terms of the Plan applicable to these
“grandfathered” amounts have not been materially modified within the meaning of Code section 409A after October 3, 2004. 

The Plan was second amended and restated effective September 1, 2010 (the “Second Amendment Date”) to permit certain eligible
employees to make deferrals of RSUs and PSUs (each as defined below). The Plan was amended and restated for a third time, effective January 1, 2012 (the “Third Amendment Date”). The changes made to the Plan on the Third Amendment Date
shall not apply to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts. 
 1.2 Purposes. The primary purposes of the Plan are to provide certain employees
of Participating Employers the opportunity to voluntarily defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the terms of the Plan, and to protect against reductions in tax deferred contributions and Employer matching contributions, fixed
contributions and profit sharing contributions under the Retirement Savings Plan (as defined below), which may otherwise be limited by operation of certain United States tax laws. Effective as of September 1, 2010, the Plan also is intended to
provide a broader group of eligible employees the opportunity to defer RSUs and PSUs granted under the CNH Global N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). 

The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan which is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees as described in Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. 
 ARTICLE 2

determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided such event qualifies as a change in control within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(5). In order for an event to constitute a change in control with respect to
a Participant, except as otherwise provided in applicable regulations, the event must relate to the corporation for which the Participant is providing services, the corporation that is liable for payment of the Participant’s Account (or all

Participant’s gross income under Code sections 125, 402(g) or 132(f)(4) pursuant to plans established by any CNH Company; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be included in Compensation only to the extent that had there been no
such plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Participant. For this purpose, the term “Compensation” shall not include Foreign Compensation. 

  
 2 








 2.12 Deferral Election. An election made by a Participant in accordance with
section 4.2 or 4.5 to defer Compensation, Bonus, PSUs and/or RSUs and have the deferred amount credited as either Participant Deferral Credits or Share Equivalents, as applicable.

	 	(a)	With respect to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, “Disability”, unless otherwise uniformly defined by the Plan Administrator, means a physical or mental condition which, in the judgment of the Plan Administrator
(based upon medical reports and other evidence satisfactory to the Plan Administrator) and pursuant to uniform principles consistently applied, presumably permanently prevents an individual from satisfactorily performing his duties for a CNH Company
and the duties of such other position or job for which the individual is qualified by reason of his training, education or experience. A Participant shall be deemed to have incurred a Disability if the Participant is eligible for benefits under the
CNH Company’s long-term disability plan. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts, a Participant shall be deemed to have a Disability if the Participant:

period of at least three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of a CNH Company; or 

  

	 	(iii)	is determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration. 

 2.14 EIP. The CNH
Global N.V. Equity Incentive Plan. 
 2.15 Employer Contributions. Employer Contributions means “fixed contributions” and
“profit sharing contributions” within the meaning of the Retirement Savings Plan and any other employer contributions under the Retirement Savings Plan which are not based in whole or in part on a Participant’s elective contributions.

 2.16 ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time. 

2.17 Financial Hardship. 
  

	 	(a)	 With respect to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, a severe Financial Hardship results from extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a

 3 









	 	
relieved: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would
not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan and such cessation is permissible under the terms of the Plan. Examples of what are not considered to be severe Financial Hardships include the need to
send a Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home. The existence of a Financial Hardship, the manner in which, if at all, such Financial Hardship may result in the cessation of a Participant’s future deferral
opportunities under the Plan and/or the manner in which, if at all, payment of deferred amounts to the Participant shall be altered or modified, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator and Plan Administrator’s
decision on such matters shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons. 

  

	 	(b)	With Respect to Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts, the phrase Financial Hardship shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s
spouse, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in Code section 152(a)); loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; imminent foreclosure on or eviction from the Participant’s primary residence; the need to pay for
medical expenses and the costs of prescription drugs; the need to pay funeral expenses of the Participant’s spouse or a dependent (as defined in Code section 152(a)); or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstance arising as
a result of events beyond the Participant’s control. A Participant requesting a payment on the basis of the occurrence of a Financial Hardship shall apply for the payment in writing in a form approved by the Plan Administrator and shall provide
such additional information as the Plan Administrator may require. The Plan Administrator reserves sole discretion to determine whether or not a Financial Hardship, within the meaning of Code section 409A has occurred. 


2.18 Foreign Compensation. Any amounts earned by the Participant for services provided to, or amounts paid by, a Foreign CNH Affiliate
(regardless of whether the amounts are paid through a United States payroll). 
 2.19 Foreign CNH Affiliate. The term “Foreign
CNH Affiliate” shall mean any CNH Company that is not organized as a U.S. corporation, trade or business. 
 2.20 Grandfathered
Deferred Amounts. Amounts credited to a Participant under the Prior Plan which were also vested under the Prior Plan prior to January 1, 2005. Grandfathered Deferred Amounts shall not be subject to the requirements of Code
section 409A. 
 2.21 Grant Date. The date PSUs or RSUs, as applicable, are granted to a Participant under the EIP. 

2.22 Key Employee. An individual who meets the criteria of a Key Employee as defined Code section 416(i) (1)(A)(i),
(ii) or (iii) without regard to section 416(i)(5) at any time during the 12-month period ending on each December 31. If an individual is a Key Employee as 

  
 4 








 
of any December 31, the individual shall be treated as a Key Employee for purposes of the Plan for the entire 12-month period beginning on the April 1 immediately following the
December 31 on which the individual is identified as a Key Employee. 
 2.23 Participant. An individual who meets the
requirements of Article 3. 
 2.24 Participant Deferral Credits. Credits made to a Participant’s Account pursuant to a
Participant’s Deferral Election and as described in section 4.1. 
 2.25 Participating Employer. The Company and any other
CNH Company which, consistent with authorization by the Company, maintains the Plan and any successor to a Participating Employer that is a CNH Company. A Participating Employer shall be deemed to appoint, as its exclusive agent, the Company and
Plan Administrator to exercise on behalf of the Participating Employer all of the power and authority conferred by this Plan on the Participating Employer. The authority of these agents shall continue until this Plan is terminated as to the
Participating Employer. 
 2.26 Performance-Based Compensation. For purposes of section 4.5(b), the term Performance-Based
Compensation shall be defined as follows (interpreted consistently with the requirements Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(e)): 
  

	 	(a)	Performance-Based Compensation means compensation the amount of which, or the entitlement to which, is contingent on the satisfaction of pre-established organizational or individual performance criteria relating to a
performance period of at least 12 consecutive months. Organizational or individual performance criteria are considered pre-established if established in writing by not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the
criteria relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at the time the criteria are established. Performance-Based Compensation does not include any amount or portion of any amount that will be paid either regardless of performance,
or based upon a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met at the time the criteria is established. Performance-Based Compensation shall be separately designated under the terms of this Plan. 


 

	 	(b)	Performance criteria applicable to the compensation designated as Performance-Based Compensation shall only be considered satisfied before the end of the performance period upon a death, Disability or a Change in
Control (regardless of any provisions or documents governing the designated compensation). Any payment made under such circumstances without regard to the satisfaction of the performance criteria will not constitute Performance-Based Compensation
and shall not be deferred pursuant to an otherwise applicable Deferral Election. 

  

	 	(c)	The term Performance-Based Compensation may include payments based upon subjective performance criteria, provided that the subjective performance criteria are bona fide and relate to the performance of the Participant,
a group of employees that includes the Participant, or a business unit for which the Participant provides services (which may include the entire organization). 


  
 5 









	 	(d)	Compensation payable for a service period that is equal to the value of a predetermined number of shares of stock, and is variable only to the extent that the value of such shares appreciates or depreciates, generally
will not be Performance-Based Compensation. If the RSUs or PSUs (or any other award of equity-based compensation) are not Performance-Based Compensation based on the previous sentence, RSUs or PSUs (or any other award of equity-based compensation)
may still constitute Performance-Based Compensation if entitlement to the compensation is subject to a condition that would cause the award to otherwise qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, such as a vesting condition that otherwise meets this
definition of Performance-Based Compensation. Compensation is Performance-Based Compensation if it is based solely on an increase in the value of the service recipient, or a share of stock in a CNH Company, which occurs after the date of a grant or
award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the attainment of a prescribed value for a CNH Company (or a portion thereof), or a share of stock in a CNH Company, may be used as a pre-established organizational criterion for purposes of providing
Performance-Based Compensation. 

 2.27 Plan Administrator. The Company, which shall control and manage the operation
and administration of the Plan. In accordance with Article 9, the Company may authorize one or more officers to act as Plan Administrator on its behalf. 

2.28 Plan Year. The calendar year. 

2.29 Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts. Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan on or after January 1, 2005.
Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts are subject to the requirements of Code section 409A. 
 2.30 Prior Plan. The Case New Holland
Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, which was frozen and grandfathered, and which has been superseded, to the extent not grandfathered, by this Plan. 

2.31 PSU. Performance Share Units as defined under the EIP. 

2.32 Retirement. A Participant’s Separation from Service for reasons other than Cause on or after the attainment of either
(1) age 62 or (2) age 55 if by age 55 the Participant has completed 10 years of continuous service from the Participant’s most recent hire date. A Participant who incurs a break in service that does not result in a
Separation from Service shall be deemed to have continuous service. A “break in service” is any period of absence from employment with a CNH Company. 

2.33 Retirement Savings Plan. The CNH U.S. Retirement Savings Plan, as in effect from time to time and, to the extent provided by the
Plan Administrator, any other defined contribution plan which is maintained by a CNH Company and is qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, and successors to such plans. 

2.34 RSU. Restricted Stock Units as defined under the EIP. 

  
 6 








 2.35 Separation from Service. Termination of employment with the CNH Companies. For
purposes of determining whether a Participant has experienced a Separation from Service, the Plan Administrator shall apply an ownership threshold of at least 50% as a substitute for 80% minimum ownership when applying the Code’s definition for
determining a controlled group of CNH Companies. A Participant shall be considered to have experienced a termination of employment when the facts and circumstances indicate that the Participant and all CNH Companies reasonably anticipate that either
(i) no further services will be performed for a CNH Company after a certain date, or (ii) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for any CNH Company after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent
contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed by such Participant (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full
period of services to all CNH Companies if the Participant has been providing services to all CNH Companies less than 36 months). If a Participant provides services for a CNH Company as both an employee and as a member of the Board of Directors of a
CNH Company, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h)(5) the services provided by such Participant as a member of the Board of Directors of the CNH Company shall not be taken into account in determining whether the
Participant has experienced a Separation from Service as an employee. 
 2.36 Share Equivalent. A bookkeeping entry made to a
Participant’s Share Equivalent Account that entitles a Participant to receive one share of CNH Stock, or an equivalent amount of cash, upon distribution of the Share Equivalent Account. Share Equivalents credited to a Participant’s Share
Equivalent Account shall not for any purposes be deemed issued and outstanding stock of any CNH Company, and a Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any credits to his or her Share Equivalent Account. 

2.37 Share Equivalent Account. An individual bookkeeping account established for a Participant to record credits of Share Equivalents
pursuant to deferrals of RSUs and PSUs. 
 2.38 Sub-Account. A portion of a Participant’s Account that is maintained for
recording the manner in which amounts credited to a Participant’s Account or Share Equivalent Account, as applicable, are payable in accordance with section 8.4. 

2.39 Supplemental Credits. Supplemental Tax Deferred Credits, Supplemental Employer Matching Credits, Supplemental Discretionary
Credits and Supplemental Employer Credits. 
 2.40 Supplemental Discretionary Credits. Credits made to a Participant’s Account

 ARTICLE 3 

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 

3.1 Eligibility. Persons eligible to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year are common law employees of a Participating Employer who
are members of a select group of highly compensated or management employees and whose participation in the Plan has been approved by the Plan Administrator. 
  

	 	(a)	Deferral of Compensation and Bonus. For Participant Deferrals and Supplemental Credits, the Plan Administrator may approve for participation the following employees: 


 

	 	(i)	Employees who are classified by the Company, in its sole discretion, as “senior directors” or “executives” without regard to any minimum Compensation level. 


 

	 	(ii)	Effective as of January 1, 2010, employees at the “Director” level who (A) earn an annual base salary of at least ten times the Code section 402(g)(1)(A) limit (without regard to catch-up
contributions) as in effect on the January 1 of the first Plan Year to which the Director’s Deferral Election will relate, or (B) were participating in the Plan prior to January 1, 2010, and earned at least $150,000 for the Plan
Year in which the Director was first eligible to participate in the Plan. 

  

	 	(iii)	Effective as of January 1, 2013, the Plan Administrator may also approve for participation in the Plan for a specified Plan Year, any “Director” who received an RSU or PSU grant in the immediately
preceding Plan Year, whether or not the employee satisfies the requirements of subsection (a)(ii) above in either year. Any employee approved for participation under this subsection (iii) shall remain eligible for participation in the Plan
relating to each Plan Year in which an RSU or PSU grant vests and, if later, for each Plan Year in which the employee files a Deferral Election or Supplemental Tax Deferral Election for a Plan Year. 


  
 8 









	 	(iv)	Between January 1, 2008 and through December 31, 2009, the Plan Administrator could approve for participation those employees of Participating Employers with the employment status of “Director” who
earn an annual base salary of $150,000 or more. Prior to January 1, 2008, employees of a Participating Employer with the employment status of “Director” were not eligible for the Plan. 


An eligible employee shall be an active Participant in the Plan under this subsection (a) for any Plan Year if he files a Deferral
Election or Supplemental Tax Deferred Election for that Plan Year. 
  

	 	(b)	Deferral of RSUs and PSUs. For the deferral of RSUs and PSUs pursuant to section 4.5 and effective on or after September 1, 2010, the Plan Administrator may approve for participation those employees of
Participating Employers who are granted RSUs and PSUs under the EIP. An eligible employee shall be an active Participant in the Plan for any Plan Year under this subsection (b) if the Participant files a Deferral Election with respect to RSUs
or PSUs. 

  

	 	(c)	Participants on International Assignment. A Participant shall be deemed to be an inactive Participant within the meaning of section 3.2 while on assignment with a CNH Company outside of the United States (on
“International Assignment”). In addition, an employee shall not commence participation in the Plan while on an International Assignment. 

  

	 	(i)	Vesting of a Participant’s Account and, or, Share Equivalent Account under Article 7 shall be frozen and no vesting service shall be credited while a Participant is on International Assignment. 


 

	 	(ii)	If a Participant’s Account or Share Equivalent Account becomes payable for any reason other than the death of the Participant while the Participant is on an International Assignment, the nonvested portion of the
Participant’s Account and, or, Share Equivalent Account shall be forfeited and such forfeited amounts shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Account and, or, Share Equivalent Account, as appropriate. 


 

	 	(iii)	Notwithstanding section 6.2(c), a Participant’s Account will be adjusted for earnings at a rate equal to the Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index as of each Accounting Date occurring while the Participant is
on an International Assignment (instead of 130% of the Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index). 

 3.2 Duration of
Participation. In the event a Participant no longer meets the requirements for participation in the Plan, such Participant shall become an inactive Participant, retaining all the rights described under the Plan, except the right to receive any
further Participant Deferral Credits, Supplemental Credits or Share Equivalents until such time that the Participant again becomes an active Participant. An individual’s participation in the Plan shall cease as of the date the Participating
Employer satisfies the liabilities to such Participant under the Plan. In addition, 

  
 9 








 
if the Company or Plan Administrator determines that participation by one or more Participants shall cause the Plan as applied to any CNH Company to be subject to Part 2, 3 or 4 of
Title I of ERISA, the entire interest of such Participant or Participants under the Plan shall be immediately paid to such Participant by the applicable Participating Employer (to the extent permitted under Code section 409A). 

3.3 Eligibility Transition Period. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, if the time at which a Participant ceases to
satisfy the requirements of participation in the Plan is during a Plan Year, such Participant shall continue to actively participate in the Plan until the last day of such Plan Year. Such participation shall continue in accordance with the Deferral
Election or Supplemental Tax Deferred Election previously filed for that Plan Year. Subsequent to the last day of such Plan Year, such Participant shall become an inactive Participant within the meaning of section 3.2. 

ARTICLE 4 
 PARTICIPANT DEFERRAL
CREDITS 
 4.1 Participant Deferral Credits for Compensation and Bonus. For each Plan Year, a Participant’s Account shall be
credited with Participant Deferral Credits equal to Compensation and, or, Bonus deferred pursuant to the Participant’s Deferral Election filed for that Plan Year. A Participant may elect to defer in any Plan Year up to 90% of the
Participant’s Compensation and, or, up to 90% of the Participant’s Bonus for that Plan Year in 1% increments (and, or, up to 90% of the Participant’s Bonus related to cash sales incentives). In the case of a Participant who first
becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the first day of a Plan Year, then to the extent required by section 4.2 and Code section 409A, the maximum amount of Compensation that may be deferred for the Plan Year shall be determined
by applying 90% to the portion of Compensation attributable to services performed after the date the Participant’s initial Deferral Election is filed. 

4.2 Deferral Elections for Compensation and Bonus. A Participant may elect to defer the receipt of Compensation and, or, Bonus for any
Plan Year pursuant to a valid Deferral Election filed with the Plan Administrator on or before the deadline established by the Plan Administrator, which in no event shall be later than the December 31 preceding the Plan Year in which such
Compensation and, or, Bonus will be earned. Once effective, a Participant’s Deferral Election shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year to which it relates and shall expire at the end of each Plan Year to which it relates. 

When an employee first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the Plan Administrator may, but need not, permit such employee to complete
and submit a Deferral Election with respect to Compensation and, or, Bonus within 30 days of the employee’s eligibility entry date. The Plan Administrator may designate any entry date that follows the first day of the month immediately
after the date the employee is approved by the Plan Administrator for participation in the Plan. If the Plan Administrator permits such an election, the Participant’s Deferral Election shall become effective for services performed subsequent to
the date the election is filed with the Plan Administrator. However, the newly-eligible employee shall not be eligible to make a Deferral Election for a Bonus in such Plan Year. A Participant is first eligible


  
 10 








 
to participate in the Plan at any time during which the Participant is eligible to accrue an amount of deferred compensation under the Plan, other than earnings on amounts previously deferred,
even if the Participant has not accrued (or has not elected to accrue) an amount of deferred compensation. Where a Participant has ceased being eligible to participate in the Plan (other than the accrual of earnings on amounts previously deferred),
regardless of whether all amounts deferred under the Plan have been paid, and subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan again, the Participant shall be treated as being initially eligible to participate in the Plan if he had not been
eligible to participate in the Plan (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the 24-month period ending on the date the Participant again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. A new Participant shall not be considered newly
eligible to participate in the Plan to the extent such Participant participates in any other Plan that is aggregated with the Plan under Code section 409A. 

In the event that a Participant receives a distribution on account of Financial Hardship under section 8.8 or a distribution on account
of “hardship” under the Retirement Savings Plan, or any other qualified plan maintained by a CNH Company that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Code section 401(k) where such plan requires the Participant to
cease qualified and non-qualified deferrals as a condition of receiving the distribution, then the Participant’s Deferral Election under this Plan relating to Compensation, and any Deferral Election under this Plan that relates to a Bonus to be
paid within six (6) months following the date of such emergency or hardship distribution, shall be cancelled (and not merely suspended). In addition, a Deferral Election shall be cancelled (and not merely suspended) by the later of the end of
the calendar year or the 15th day of the third month following the date the Participant incurs a disability. For purposes of the foregoing, a “disability” refers to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment resulting in the
Participant’s inability to perform the duties of his or her position or any substantially similar position, where such impairment can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months.
Any Deferral Election made after cancellation of a Deferral Election due to hardship under the Retirement Savings Plan, Financial Hardship or disability shall be considered an “initial deferral election” that is subject to the Plan and the
rules of Code section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to “initial deferral elections.” 
 4.3
Credit to Accounts. A Participant’s Participant Deferral Credits pursuant to sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be credited to the Participant’s Account, and a Participant’s Share Equivalents pursuant to section 4.5
shall be credited to a Participant’s Share Equivalent Account in accordance with Article 6. 
 4.4 Credit to Accounts of
Amounts Forfeited Under Prior Plan. The Account of each Participant, who was an active Participant in the Plan on January 1, 2005, shall be credited with the amount that was forfeited and subtracted under any such Participant’s account
under the Prior Plan by reason of being unvested as of December 31, 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Amendments effecting the freeze and grandfathering of the Prior Plan, effective December 31, 2004. 

  
 11 








 4.5 Participant Deferral Elections for RSUs and PSUs. The Plan Administrator may permit a
Participant eligible under section 3.1(b) to file a Deferral Election with respect to RSUs and PSUs. The Deferral Election must be on file with the Plan Administrator on or before the deadline required by Code section 409A or, if earlier,
the deadline established by the Plan Administrator, and shall be subject to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	If the Participant receives a grant of RSUs and PSUs and such grant requires the Participant to continue to provide services to a CNH Company for a period of at least 12 months from the Grant Date to the earliest
vesting date, the Plan Administrator may permit the Participant to file a Deferral Election on or before the 30th day after the Participant’s Grant Date; provided that the Deferral Election is made at least 12 months in advance of the earliest
vesting date. For this purpose, RSUs or PSUs shall be treated as requiring a Participant to continue to provide services to a CNH Company for a period of at least 12 months from the Grant Date to the earliest vesting date even if vesting accelerates
upon the death or Disability of the Participant, or upon a change in control (as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)) of the CNH Company. However, vesting of RSUs or PSUs shall be subject to the following adjustments: 


 

	 	(i)	If a Participant files a Deferral Election with respect to RSUs or PSUs pursuant to this subsection 4.5(a), such RSUs or PSUs shall not become vested upon (A) a “change in control” as defined in the EIP,
unless such event is also considered a Change in Control under the terms of this Plan or (B) a disability unless that disability is also considered a Disability under the terms of this Plan. 


 

	 	(ii)	If an event described in section 4.5(a)(i) above or the Participant’s death accelerates the vesting of RSUs or PSUs, the Deferral Election with respect to the RSUs and PSUs that are vested due to the event or death
shall have no effect. 

  

	 	(b)	To the extent PSUs or RSUs constitute Performance-Based Compensation, the Plan Administrator may permit a Participant receiving the grant of such PSUs or RSUs to file a Deferral Election on or before any date that is at
least 6 months before the end of the performance period for the PSUs or RSUs, provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Participant performs services continuously from the later of (A) the beginning of the performance period or (B) the date the performance criteria are established, through the date the Deferral Election is
filed; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in no event may any election to defer PSUs or RSUs be made after such compensation has become “readily ascertainable” (as defined under Code section 409A). 


If the Plan Administrator designates RSUs or PSUs as eligible for a Deferral Election under this subsection 4.5(b), the performance criteria
applicable to the RSUs or PSUs subject to the Deferral Election shall not be considered satisfied before the end of the performance period upon any event that is not a death, Disability or a Change in Control as defined under this Plan (regardless
of the provisions of the EIP and any other documents governing the grant of the RSU or PSU). Any Deferral Election pursuant to this subsection 4.5(b) must be filed before the events described in the previous sentence in order to be effective. 

  
 12 









	 	(c)	If either subsection 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) above do not apply, a Participant must file a Deferral Election relating to RSUs or PSUs on or before December 31 of the calendar year before the Grant Date of such RSUs or
PSUs. 

  

	 	(d)	Once effective, a Participant’s Deferral Election shall be irrevocable for the entire RSU or PSU grant to which it relates. The Plan Administrator may permit a Participant to elect to defer up to 90% of a PSU or
RSU grant. Subject to such limitations, the Plan Administrator shall determine the deferral options available to the Participants, which may include (without limitation) the following: 


 

	 	(i)	The percentage of vested RSUs or PSUs to be deferred designated in 1% increments; and 

  

	 	(ii)	All vested RSUs or PSUs above a designated dollar value (the “DDV”) after applicable withholding taxes are applied. The Plan Administrator shall calculate the number of RSUs or PSUs to defer based on the value
of CNH Stock at the time of vesting. If the DDV is equal to or above the after-tax value of the Participant’s RSUs or PSUs at the time of vesting, no amount of Participant’s RSU or PSU award will be deferred. The DDV will in no event
exceed the after-tax value of the Participant’s vested RSUs or PSUs at the time of vesting. 

  

	 	(e)	Deferred RSUs and PSUs shall be credited as Share Equivalents to the Participant’s Share Equivalent Account (and Sub-Account, if applicable) in accordance with Article 6. 


ARTICLE 5 
 SUPPLEMENTAL CREDITS

 5.1 Eligibility for Supplemental Credits. A Participant’s Account shall not be credited with any Supplemental Credits under
this Article 5 for any Plan Year unless the Participant has made a Retirement Savings Plan contribution election that would result in elective contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan equal to the maximum amount permitted under

“Compensation” for this purpose is as defined in the Retirement Savings Plan, but without regard to the limitations of Code sections 401(a)(17) or any other applicable sections of the Code, and excluding any Foreign Compensation.


  

	 	(b)	Timing of Deferrals. A Participant’s Supplemental Tax Deferred Election shall apply to Compensation paid only after a Participant’s Retirement Savings Plan contributions would have been limited by Code
section 402(g) and, if applicable, the maximum catch-up contributions permitted under Code section 414(v) for such Plan Year, based on the Participant’s Retirement Savings Plan contribution election as in effect on the first day of the
Plan Year to which his Supplemental Tax Deferred Election relates (or upon initial enrollment in the Retirement Savings Plan) and the Participant’s Compensation in effect at that time. 


A revocation or change to a Participant’s Retirement Savings Plan contribution election that occurs on or after the first day of a Plan
Year shall not be considered for purposes of this Article 5.

	 	(ii)	had the Employer Contributions for such Plan Year credited to the Participant’s accounts under the Retirement Savings Plan not been limited by Code sections 401(a)(17), 415 or any other applicable sections of
the Code; and 


  
 14 









	 	(b)	is the amount of Employer Contributions for such Plan Year that is actually credited to the Participant’s accounts under the Retirement Savings Plan for such Plan Year. 


5.4 Supplemental Employer Matching Credits. Supplemental Employer Matching Credits shall be credited on a payroll period basis on
behalf of each Participant who has filed a Supplemental Tax Deferral Election for the Plan Year in accordance with section 5.2. 
  

	 	(a)	Supplemental Employer Matching Credits shall equal the difference, if any, between (i) minus (ii) below, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, where: 


 

	 	(i)	is the amount of matching contributions which would have been credited to the Participant’s account under the Retirement Savings Plan for such payroll period: 


 

	 	(A)	had the Participant made Retirement Savings Plan elective contributions for such payroll period based on the Participant’s Retirement Savings Plan contribution election in effect as of the first day of the Plan

amount determined by the Company it its sole discretion. 

  

	5.5	Supplemental Discretionary Credits. For each Plan Year, each Participating Employer shall have the ability to provide Supplemental Discretionary Credits under the Plan on behalf of one or more Participant(s)
employed by it during such year, without regard to whether such Participant elected to defer the receipt of Compensation and, or, Bonus under the Plan for such Plan Year; provided, however, that a Participating Employer is not required to provide
for a Discretionary Contribution for any Plan Year. The amount of any such Discretionary Contribution shall be at the sole discretion of the Participating Employer and may vary for each Participant. Supplemental Discretionary Credits with respect to
a Plan Year, if any, shall be credited following the end of the Plan Year.

 ARTICLE 6 

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION 
 6.1
Participants’ Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain for each Participant a bookkeeping Account for (a) Participant Deferral Credits (and earnings thereon), and (b) Supplemental Credits (and earnings
thereon). The Plan Administrator shall also establish and maintain a Share Equivalent Account for each Participant with respect to RSUs and PSUs that have been deferred under the Plan. 

6.2 Accounting. As of each Accounting Date, a Participant’s Account shall be adjusted as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	first, the Participant’s Account will be credited with Participant Deferral Credits and Supplemental Credits made by or on behalf of the Participant since the last preceding Accounting Date;


  

	 	(b)	next, the Participant’s Account will be charged with distributions and payments made to or on behalf of the Participant since the last preceding Accounting Date which are to be charged to the cash
Sub-Account; 

  

	 	(c)	next, the Participant’s Account will be credited with earnings at a rate equal to 130% of Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index as of such Accounting Date; and 


 

	 	(d)	finally, if the Participant’s Termination Date occurred prior to January 1, 2010 for a reason other than on account of Retirement, Disability or death, then such Participant shall forfeit all earnings
credited in excess of an interest rate equal to 100% of Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index as of such Accounting Date. If the Participant’s Termination Date occurs on or after January 1, 2010, this subsection (d) shall not
apply. 

 The adjustments described above shall be applied separately to the portions of any Participant’s Account
comprised of Grandfathered Deferred Amounts. 
 6.3 Valuation of Accounts. The value of a Participant’s Account as of any date
shall be equal to the balance determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next preceding such date, after all adjustments then required under the Plan have been made, plus any Participant Deferral Credits and Supplemental Credits to be

 16 








 6.4 Share Equivalent Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall credit one Share Equivalent to

Account. The closing price of CNH Stock as of the Accounting Date shall apply for all purposes of determining the value of a Share Equivalent until the next Accounting Date. If there are no trades of CNH Stock on an Accounting Date, the Plan
Administrator shall apply the trading price as of the next date preceding the Accounting Date on which there are such trades. If CNH Global N.V. pays a dividend with respect to its actual CNH Stock, the Participant shall receive a credit to his or
her Share Equivalent Account equal to (a) the total dividend that the Participant would have received if the Share Equivalents in the Participant’s Share Equivalent Account as of the dividend date were actual CNH Stock divided by
(b) the value of CNH Stock as of the immediately preceding Accounting Date (as determined above). 
 ARTICLE 7 

VESTING AND FORFEITURE OF BENEFITS

employment terminates due to his death or Disability. 

  
 17 









	 	(d)	Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, a Participant shall become fully vested in the Participant’s Supplemental Employer Credits, Supplemental Employer Matching Credits, Supplemental
Discretionary Credits, and earnings thereon. This subsection (d) shall not apply if the Plan Administrator determines that such acceleration would cause the deduction limitations of Code section 280G to become effective.

shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Account balance. 

  

	 	(b)	Other Terminations. In the event that a Participant’s Termination Date occurs for any reason other than death, Disability, Cause or upon Retirement before a Participant becomes fully vested, the unvested
portion of the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited and such forfeited amounts shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Account balance, unless the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, should decide otherwise.


 ARTICLE 8 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 8.1 Charges
Against Accounts. A Participant is entitled to a distribution of only the vested portion of his Account. Any payments made to the Participant or to the Participant’s beneficiary shall be charged against each Participant’s Account in

	 	(a)	 Election as to Form of Payment. A Participant shall designate the form of payment of any amounts to be credited in each Plan Year to his
Account and Share Equivalent Account. The Participant’s election as to the form of payment shall become irrevocable as of the December 31 immediately preceding each Plan Year to which the election shall apply; provided, however, that when
a Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan within the meaning of section 4.2, the Participant’s election as to the form of payment shall become irrevocable at the same time as the Participant’s initial Deferral
Election. A Participant’s 



  
 18 









	 	
election as to the form of payment (or deemed election) shall be in a form prescribed by the Plan Administrator and shall continue in effect for all subsequent Plan Years unless or until the
Participant changes the election as to amounts to be credited to the Participant’s Account or Share Equivalent Account in a subsequent Plan Year in accordance with section 8.5. Any change to a Participant’s payment election shall be
designated no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the Plan Year to which a new election is to apply. 

  

	 	(b)	Payment Form. If a Participant’s has a Termination Date on account of Retirement or a Disability, payment of the Participant’s vested Account balance and Share Equivalent Account shall be made in one of
the following forms of benefit, as previously elected by the Participant:

	 	(ii)	in a series of annual installments: 

 (A) with respect to a Participant’s Account, for a
period not less than two years and not more than ten years; provided, however, that a Participant’s distribution election in effect on December 31, 2010, or a Participant’s initial distribution election made in 2011, to receive
installment payments in excess of ten years may continue in effect as to amounts credited to the Participant’s Account on or after January 1, 2012, unless or until the Participant makes a new election as to the form of payment for amounts
credited to the Participant’s Account or Share Equivalent Account in any Plan Year after December 31, 2011, and; 
 (B) with
respect to a Participant’s Share Equivalent Account, for a period not less than two years and not more than ten years in whole share amounts; or 
  

	 	(iii)	with respect only to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, in such other form as may be approved by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. 


Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, if a Participant’s payment election is not in effect as of the Participant’s
Termination Date, his Account and Share Equivalent Account balance will be paid in a single lump sum payment; provided, however, that, with respect only to Grandfathered Amounts, a Participant may make an election as to the form of payment at any
time prior to his Termination Date, in which case payment of his Account balance will not begin prior to the Accounting Date which is at least 12 months after the effective date of his election, and that, in the Plan Administrator’s sole

of the Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index, unless as of December 31, 2004, the Participant was deceased or was eligible for Retirement or Disability (whether or not the Participant
had a Separation from Service on or before December 31, 2004). The earnings credit on a Participant’s Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, if any, in excess of 100% of the Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index shall be referred to as
the “Enhanced Earnings” (unless as of December 31, 2004, the Participant was deceased or was eligible for Retirement or Disability (whether or not the Participant had a Separation from Service on or before
December 31, 2004)). 

  

	 	(c)	Distribution Commencement Date. Commencement of benefit payments shall be made or begin within 90 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which occurs a Participant’s Termination Date or
Disability, as applicable (or, in the case of Grandfathered Amounts, at such other date as may be determined by the Plan Administrator). If payment of all or a portion of any Post-‘04 Deferral Amounts and Share Equivalents is to be made due to
a Participant’s Separation from Service and the Participant is a Key Employee, any such payment that would occur in the six months following such Participant’s Separation from Service shall be delayed and paid upon the first day of the
seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s date of death). 

  

	 	(d)	Limited Cashouts. In the event that, at the time of termination of employment by reason of Retirement or Disability, a Participant’s Account balance attributable to Post-‘04 Deferral Amounts and Share
Equivalent Account are, in the aggregate, less than $10,000, then the entire Account balance and the entire Share Equivalent Account shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum in accordance with subsection (c). 


If a Participant elects an installment form of payment, annual installments after payment of the initial installment shall be made on the
anniversary of the Participant’s Distribution Commencement Date pursuant to section 8.2(c) above, without regard to any delay of the initial installment applicable if the Participant is a Key Employee. Each installment from the Account
shall consist of a cash payment equal to the balance in the Participant’s Account, determined as of the Accounting Date coincident with or next preceding the date as of which such installment is to be paid, divided by the number of installments
remaining to be paid, including the installment then being calculated. With respect to Share Equivalent Accounts that are paid on an installment basis, the Plan Administrator shall calculate installments so that each installment is substantially
equal and consists of whole shares; provided that the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to round up one or more installment to the nearest whole share so that all installments are made in whole share amounts. The Plan Administrator shall
have the discretion to distribute the Share Equivalent Account in the form of cash, CNH Stock or a combination of both. For purposes of this Plan, the right to receive a benefit in annual installments shall be treated as the entitlement to a single
payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a Participant elects to receive installment distributions of Grandfathered
Deferred Amounts over a period that results in one or 

  
 20 








 
more installment payments of less than $1,000, the Participant shall instead receive an immediate single lump sum distribution of his or her Grandfathered Deferred Amounts. This lump sum cash out
shall not be paid, however, if the amount of the lump sum payment would exceed the dollar amount under Code section 402(g)(1)(B) for the year in which the lump sum payment would be made. In such event, the Participant’s Grandfathered
Deferred Amounts will be paid in installments in accordance with the Participant’s election. 
 8.3 Payment of a Participant’s
Account and Share Equivalent Account upon Termination of Employment for Reasons Other than Retirement, Disability or Death. If a Participant’s Termination Date occurs on account of any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death,
payment of the Participant’s vested Account balance and Share Equivalent Account shall be made in a single lump sum payment within 90 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which occurs a Participant’s Termination Date (or, in
the case of Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, at such other date as may be determined under Plan section 8.2); provided, however, that the commencement of payments of Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts and a Share Equivalent Account to any
Participant who is a Key Employee as of the Participant’s Separation from Service shall be delayed for a period of six months following such Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, until the Participant’s date of
death). In no event shall the Participant designate the taxable year of the payment. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to distribute the Share Equivalent Account in the form of cash, CNH Stock or a combination of both. 

8.4 Payment of a Sub-Account in a Scheduled Distribution. A Participant may elect to have Participant Deferral Credits, Supplemental
Credits or Share Equivalents distributed as of a Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date designated by the Participant in accordance with this section 8.4. A Participant may only designate up to two Scheduled Distribution Dates or Start
Dates at any time for Participant Deferral Credits and Supplemental Credits and up to two Scheduled Distribution Dates or Start Dates at any time for Share Equivalents. Each Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date shall be considered a
separate Sub-Account. Therefore, at any one time, a Participant may have a Participant Deferral Sub-Account A and, or, B and, or, a Share Equivalent Sub-Account A and, or, B. A Participant’s election to establish a Sub-Account for a
Plan Year must be made by the deadline designated by the Plan Administrators which shall be no later than the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Participant Deferral Sub-Accounts. For Participant Deferral Sub-Account A or B, by the December 31 preceding the Plan Year to which the Participant Deferral Credits and/or Supplemental Credits are
earned. 

  

	 	(b)	Share Equivalent Sub-Accounts. For Share Equivalent Sub-Account A or B, by the due date of the Deferral Election as described in section 4.5. 


 

	 	(c)	Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date. Effective for Sub-Accounts created for amounts deferred after December 31, 2012, each Sub-Account shall have a single “Scheduled Distribution Date” or
“Scheduled Distribution Start Date” (for installments) designated by the Participant upon the establishment of the Sub-Account. Each Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date shall be January 1 of any calendar year following the
calendar year that includes the fifth anniversary of the date of the deferral election establishing the Sub-Account. 


  
 21 









	 	(d)	Election of Form of Distribution. Effective for Sub-Accounts created for amounts deferred after December 31, 2012, a Participant may elect to have a Sub-Account paid in a single lump sum, or in annual
installments over a period of two to five years. Such election must be made upon the establishment of the Sub-Account. However, if a Participant’s Sub-Account becomes payable pursuant to section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.6 of the Plan prior to the first
day of the calendar year that includes the Scheduled Distribution Date or Scheduled Distribution Start Date, the payment form for the Sub-Account shall be determined pursuant to the Participant’s election made in accordance with
section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.6, respectively. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to distribute a Participant’s established Share Equivalent Sub-Account in the form of cash, CNH Stock or a combination of both. 


 

	 	(e)	Sub-Account Distribution Date. Effective for Sub-Accounts created for amounts deferred after December 31, 2012, payment of each Sub-Account shall be made or commence at any time within the calendar year that
includes the Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date (the time within that calendar year shall be determined in the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion); provided, however, that if a Participant’s Account becomes payable pursuant to
section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.6 of the Plan prior to the first day of the calendar year that includes the Scheduled Distribution Date or Scheduled Distribution Start Date, payment of the Sub-Account shall be made in accordance with sections 8.2, 8.3 or
8.6, as applicable. 

  

	 	(f)	Full Distribution of Sub-Account. If all amounts in a Sub-Account have been distributed and the Sub-Account balance is zero, the Participant (if otherwise eligible) may re-establish that Sub-Account as a new
Sub-Account in accordance with the requirements of section 8.4(a). Enhanced Earnings that would be credited to a Sub-Account that has been fully distributed shall be governed by section 8.4(h). 


 

	 	(g)	Earnings. Earnings shall be credited to Sub-Accounts in accordance with section 6.2. Earnings attributable to amounts in a Sub-Account, other than Enhanced Earnings, shall be distributed in accordance with the
applicable Sub-Account distribution date and form. 

  

	 	(h)	Enhanced Earnings. Enhanced Earnings on Grandfathered Deferred Amounts to which a Participant may be entitled under the Prior Plan that are credited to a Sub-Account before the Sub-Account has been fully
distributed shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable Sub-Account distribution date and form. Enhanced Earnings on Grandfathered Deferred Amounts to which a Participant may be entitled under the Prior Plan that are credited to a
Sub-Account after the date that such Sub-Account has been fully distributed shall be payable in a single lump sum no later than the March 15 immediately following the calendar year in which the Enhanced Earnings are credited to the Sub-Account.


  

	 	(i)	 Sub-Accounts In Pay Status at the Time a Participant Experiences a Separation from Service. Effective for Sub-Accounts created for amounts
deferred after 



  
 22 









	 	
December 31, 2012, if a Participant dies after installment distributions under the Participant’s Sub-Account have begun, the remainder of the Sub-Account shall be distributed in
accordance with section 8.6. 

  

	8.5	Re-deferral Election. Effective as of January 1, 2013, a Participant may make a re-deferral election of the portion of his Account attributable to Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts and Share Equivalents
and earnings attributable thereto, only to change a Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date of a Sub-Account or the form of payment under section 8.2(b). A re-deferral election shall be subject to the following: 


 

	 	(a)	The election must be made within the time period designated by the Plan Administrator, but in no event less than 12 months before the date payment would otherwise have commenced under section 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4,
as applicable; 

  

	 	(b)	Commencement of payment must be deferred for a period of no less than five years from the date the payment would otherwise have commenced under section 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4, as applicable; 


 

	 	(c)	The election must not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the re-deferral election is made and, if the Participant is a Key Employee as of the Participant’s Separation from Service,
the election must not provide for payment earlier than the date that is six months from the Participant’s Separation from Service; 

  

	 	(d)	A re-deferral election with respect to a Sub-Account, may not be elected by a Participant unless the Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date based on the re-deferral would occur no more than five years after the
initial Scheduled Distribution Date or Start Date; 

  

	 	(e)	Only one such election may be made with respect to each Sub-Account and the election must be made prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service; and 


 

	 	(f)	A re-deferral election with respect to the form of payment under section 8.2(b) must not defer the last payment based on the re-deferral election by more than ten years following the Participant’s Termination
Date. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in is sole discretion, may authorize a Participant to make a
re-deferral election provided the Participant satisfies the requirements of section 8.5(a), (b), (c) and Code section 409A. For the Plan provisions applicable to the re-deferral of Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, see Plan section 8.2. 

8.6 Payment of a Participant’s Account and Share Equivalent Account upon a Participant’s Death. If a Participant dies, either
before or after the Participant’s Termination Date, the Participant’s vested Account and Share Equivalent Account shall be paid to the Participant’s designated beneficiary in a single lump sum payment in the calendar year following
the Participant’s date of death. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any portion of the Participant’s Account or Share Equivalent Account that was scheduled to be paid before the end of the calendar year in which the Participant’s
death occurs, shall continue to be paid in such 

  
 23 








 
calendar year. Each Participant shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries who, upon the Participant’s death, will receive the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the
Participant under the Plan. All designations shall be signed by the Participant, and made in such form and in such manner as prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Each designation shall be effective as of the date it is filed with the Plan
Administrator, and shall supersede any previous designation. No such designation, change or revocation shall be effective unless executed by the Participant and received and accepted by the Plan Administrator during the lifetime of the Participant.
Participants may change their beneficiary designations on such form as prescribed by the Plan Administrator. Payment of the Participant’s Account and Share Equivalent Account balance shall be in accordance with the last unrevoked written
designation of beneficiary that has been signed by the Participant and properly filed with the Plan Administrator prior to the Participant’s death. In the event that all the beneficiaries named by a Participant predecease the Participant, a
Participant does not designate a beneficiary, or for any reason such designation is ineffective, in whole or in part, the amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries under the Plan shall be
paid to the Participant’s estate. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to distribute the Share Equivalent Account in the form of cash, CNH Stock or a combination of both. 

8.7 Callable Right Option. With respect only to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, as of any Accounting Date, after all adjustments then
required under the Plan pursuant to section 6.2 have been made, a Participant may elect to receive a distribution of the vested balance in his Account attributable to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts in a single cash lump sum payment; provided,
however, that if a Participant elects to receive a distribution pursuant to this section 8.7: 
  

	 	(a)	the Participant shall receive a distribution of 90 percent (95 percent if the Participant’s Termination Date has then already occurred on account of Retirement) of his Account balance; and


  

	 	(b)	the Participant shall have no further rights to the remaining 10 percent (5 percent if the Participant’s Termination Date has then already occurred) of his Account balance; and 


 

	 	(c)	the remaining 10 percent (5 percent if the Participant’s Termination Date has then already occurred) shall be forfeited and shall be subtracted from the Participant’s Account balance.


 If a Participant elects a distribution of Grandfathered Deferred Amounts pursuant to this section 8.7, the Participant
shall not be permitted to make Deferral Elections or Supplemental Tax Deferred Elections under the Plan with respect to Compensation payable during the one-year period after the request for the lump sum is made. 

8.8 Financial Hardship. The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to alter the timing or manner of payment of the portion of a
Participant’s Account balance attributable to the Participant’s Participant Deferral Credits (and earnings thereon) and Share Equivalent Account in the event that the Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator,
that he has incurred a Financial Hardship. In such event, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion: 

  
 24 









	 	(a)	provide that all, or a portion, of the Participant’s Participant Deferral Credits and Share Equivalent Account shall immediately be paid in a lump sum cash payment; or 


 

	 	(b)	provide that all, or a portion, of the installments payable over a period of time shall immediately be paid in a lump sum cash payment. 


Withdrawals of amounts because of a Financial Hardship may only be permitted to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the Financial
Hardship. Distributions may not be made pursuant to this section 8.8 from the portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Supplemental Employer Credits, Supplemental Employer Matching Credits, or Supplemental Discretionary Credits,
and the earnings thereon, or dividend equivalent units credited thereto. 
 ARTICLE 9 

ADMINISTRATION 
 9.1 Authority
of the Company. The Plan shall be administered by the Company. However, the Company may delegate any and all of the authority granted under the Plan to the Plan Administrator to any employee or employees of the Company. Subject to the provisions
herein, and provided that any such actions must comply with Code section 409A, the Plan Administrator or its delegate shall have full power to conclusively construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under the
Plan; to establish or amend rules for the Plan’s administration, to amend (subject to the provisions of Article 11 herein) the terms and conditions of the Plan and any agreement entered into under the Plan; and to make other determinations
which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 
 9.2 Decisions Binding. All interpretations, determinations
and decisions made by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and all related orders or resolutions of the Company, or in accordance with the CNH Global N.V. Finance Policy Delegation of Authority Policy Number 300.01, as
amended from time to time, shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including any CNH Company, its stockholders, employees, Participants, and their estates and beneficiaries. 

9.3 Withholding Taxes. All amounts payable under the Plan shall be subject to withholding of applicable U.S. Federal, state, and local
taxes. 
 9.4 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify each employee of the Company who is responsible for administering the Plan
against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by such employee and any liability, including any amounts paid in settlement with the Company’s approval, arising from the employee’s action or failure
to act, except when the same is judicially determined to be attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the employee. 

  
 25 








 ARTICLE 10 

RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS 
 10.1
Contractual Obligation. The Plan shall create a contractual obligation on the part of the Participating Employer to make payments from the Participants’ Accounts when due. Payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made out of
the general funds of the Participating Employer. 
 10.2 Unsecured Interest. The Plan constitutes only an unfunded, unsecured promise
of the Participating Employer to make payments in the future in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Such amounts shall be reflected on the accounting records of the Participating Employer but shall not be construed to create or require the
creation of a trust, custodial or escrow account, nor create a trust or fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Participating Employer and a Participant or any other person. No Participant or party claiming an interest under the Plan shall
have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Participating Employer. To the extent that any party acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan, such right shall be equivalent to that of an unsecured general creditor of the
Participating Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participating Employer may establish one or more trusts, with such trustee as the Plan Administrator may approve, for the purpose of providing for the payment of benefits under the Plan.
Such trust or trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of any such Participating Employer’s general creditors. To the extent benefits under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Employer
shall have no further obligation with respect to such benefits, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Participating Employer. 

10.3 Employee Status. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with nor limit in any way the right of an Participating Employer to terminate
any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Participating Employer or the CNH Companies. The Plan will not give any person any right or claim to any benefits under the
Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. 
 10.4 Claims for Benefits. All claims for
benefits shall be in writing and signed by the Participant. Any Participant whose written request to the Plan Administrator for benefits has been denied in whole or in part shall be furnished written notice of the denial of his claim by the Plan
Administrator within sixty (60) days (one hundred twenty (120) days if such additional time is determined by the Plan Administrator to be necessary) of receipt by the Plan Administrator of the claim. Within sixty (60) days after the
receipt of a notice that a claim was denied, the claimant may appeal in writing the denial of this claim to the Plan Administrator stating the reasons for the appeal and submitting any issues or comments for the Plan Administrator’s review.
Within sixty (60) days (one hundred twenty (120) if such additional time is determined by the Plan Administrator to be necessary) of receipt of an appeal, the Plan Administrator shall mail to the claimant a written notice of its decision
setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant the specific reasons for its decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the Plan Administrator’s decision was based. 

  
 26 








 ARTICLE 11 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 The
Company hereby reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan as applied to any Participating Employer at any time by action of the Company, which may be in accordance with Plan section 9.1 or the CNH Global N.V. Finance Policy
Delegation of Authority Policy Number 300.01, as amended from time to time. Except as described below in this Article 11, no such amendment or termination shall in any material manner adversely affect any Participant’s vested rights
to deferred amounts credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan before the date of such amendment or termination, without the consent of the Participant. The Company shall have the discretion to liquidate the Plan upon termination only
if the requirements of Treasury regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) are satisfied. Any Participating Employer may terminate its participation in the Plan in whole or in part at any time, provided that (1) it has made adequate provision for
any amount payable by it under the terms of the Plan as in effect on the date it terminates its participation in the Plan, and (2) that any benefits payable in connection with Post-‘04 Deferred Amounts with respect to such Participating
Employer are paid at a time permitted under Code section 409A. 
 With respect only to Grandfathered Deferred Amounts, upon termination
of the Plan as to any Participating Employer, the Plan Administrator or its delegate, in its sole discretion, may provide that amounts attributable to the portion of the Plan terminated with respect to that Participating Employer shall be
distributed in accordance with the provisions of section 8.3 and without regard to the six-month delay period otherwise applicable to Key Employees. 

ARTICLE 12 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

12.1 Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company, a Participating Employer, or the Plan Administrator
under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail to the Plan Administrator at the principal executive offices of the Company. Notice mailed to a Participant shall be at such address as is
given in the records of the Company. Notices shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. 

12.2 Nontransferability. Participants’ rights to deferred amounts, Supplemental Credits, shares of Common Stock and earnings under
the Plan may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In no event shall a Participating Employer make any payment under the Plan to any assignee or
creditor of a Participant, including an alternate payee under a domestic relations order. 
 12.3 Severability. In the event any
provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included. 

  
 27 








 12.4 Offset. In the event any payments hereunder exceed the amounts to which the recipient
of such payments is entitled, the Participating Employer may withhold or reduce subsequent payments, or may take such other action as it deems necessary or appropriate, to correct such overpayment. 

12.5 Benefits as Compensation for Purposes of Other Plans. Any payments under the Plan shall not be deemed salary or other compensation
to the employee for the purposes of computing benefits to which the employee may be entitled under any employee benefit plan, or other similar arrangement of any CNH Company for the benefit of its employees. 

12.6 Facility of Payment. If a Participant’s duly qualified guardian or legal representative makes claim for any amount owing to
the Participant, the Plan Administrator shall pay the amount to which the Participant is entitled to such guardian or legal representative. In the event a distribution is to be made to a minor, the Plan Administrator may direct that such
distribution be paid to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of such minor or an adult with whom the beneficiary maintains his residence, or to the custodian for such beneficiary under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act if permitted by the laws
of the state in which the beneficiary resides. Any payment made pursuant to this section 12.6 in good faith shall be a payment for the account of the Participant and shall be a complete discharge from any liability of the Participating Employer
and all CNH Companies. 
 12.7 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein
also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural. 
 12.8 Costs of the
Plan. All reasonable expenses incurred in implementing and administering the Plan shall be paid by any trust established pursuant to section 10.2 to the extent such expenses are not directly paid by the a Participating Employer. Any costs that
cannot be paid by the trust for any reason shall be borne by the Employer or a Participating Employer, as applicable. 
 12.9 Applicable
Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Wisconsin, to the extent not superseded by the federal law of the United States. 

12.10 Successors. All obligations of a Participating Employer under the Plan shall be binding on any successor to such Participating
Employer, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Participating Employer.

 Exhibit A 

Prior Plan
