Section 2.1.                                                              Conveyance of Receivables.  (a)  In consideration of the Issuing Entity’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller on the Closing Date of the Notes and the other amounts to be distributed from time to time to the Seller in accordance with this Agreement, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuing Entity, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following (collectively, the “CNHCR Assets”):

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)                              the Purchase Agreement, including the right of the Seller to cause CNHICA to repurchase Receivables from the Seller under the circumstances described therein;

 

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

2

(b)                                 [Reserved].

 

Section 2.2.                                                              [Reserved].

 

ARTICLE III
 The Receivables

 

Section 3.1.                                                              Representations and Warranties of Seller.  The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which the Issuing Entity is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.  Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

 

(a)                                 Title.  It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuing Entity and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.  No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuing Entity.  Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Issuing Entity shall have good title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens; and the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity has been, or within the timeframe required by Section 3.1(b) hereof will be, perfected under the UCC.

 

If (but only to the extent that) the transfer of the CNHCR Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or other governmental authority as a loan rather than a sale, the Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted to the Issuing Entity a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the CNHCR Assets.  Such security interest shall secure all of Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent.  The Seller shall have, with respect to the property described in Section 2.1, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to Seller under this Agreement and applicable law, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

 

3











 

(b)                                 All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuing Entity a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables, and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest therein, have been made, or will be made within 10 days after the Closing Date.

 

(c)                                  Perfection Representations. The Seller further makes all the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Schedule P.

 

Section 3.2.                                                              Repurchase upon Breach.  (a)  The Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 6.1, or CNHICA’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.  Unless a breach pursuant to the sections and documents referenced in the preceding sentence shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period after such breach is discovered by the Servicer or the Trustee or in which the Trustee receives written notice from the Seller or the Servicer of such breach, the Seller shall be obligated, and, if necessary, the Seller or the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of CNHICA under the Purchase Agreement to repurchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by any such breach as of such last day. As consideration for the repurchase of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.5; provided, however, that the obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Receivable arising solely as a result of a breach of CNHICA’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the receipt by the Seller of the Purchase Amount from CNHICA.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein, and to enforce CNHICA’s obligation to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)                                 With respect to all Receivables purchased or repurchased by, or otherwise transferred to (including Liquidated Receivables transferred under Section 4.3, 4.6 and 9.1) CNHICA, the Servicer, the Seller or their Affiliate pursuant to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement: (i) the Issuing Entity, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHICA, the Servicer, the Seller or their Affiliate, as applicable, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of the Issuing Entity’s, the Seller’s and the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Receivables, related Financed Equipment, and all other CNHCR Assets related thereto, including all security and documents relating thereto, and (ii) the Issuing Entity, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have released any security interest and any other claim under this Agreement and the Basic Documents in such Receivables, related Financed Equipment, and all other CNHCR Assets related thereto, including all security and documents relating thereto, without any further act or deed, and such Receivables, related Financed Equipment, and all security and documents relating thereto will be free of the Grant contained in the Indenture.

Section 3.3.                                                              Custody of Receivable Files.  To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuing Entity hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments, which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuing Entity with respect to each Receivable:

 

(a)                                 the original fully executed copy of the Receivable;

 

(b)                                 a record or facsimile of the original credit application fully executed by the Obligor;

 

(c)                                  the original certificate of title or file stamped copy of the UCC financing statement or such other documents that the Servicer shall keep on file (if any), in accordance with its customary procedures, evidencing the security interest of CNHICA in the Financed Equipment; and

 

(d)                                 any and all other documents that the Servicer, the Seller or CNHICA shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or any of the Financed Equipment.

 

Section 3.4.                                                              Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

 

(a)                                 Safekeeping. The Servicer (or its Affiliates, but only in accordance with the second following sentence) shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuing Entity to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable equipment receivables that the Servicer services for its Affiliates or others.  The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, may at any time delegate its duties as custodian to any Affiliate of the Servicer; provided, that no such delegation shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuing Entity, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if the Servicer alone were performing such duties. The Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping.  The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee any material failure on its part, or its Affiliate’s part, to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.

 

(b)                                 Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at one or more of its offices and/or one or more of its Affiliate’s offices; provided that at no time shall a Receivable File be moved to an office or location outside the

 

5












 

geographic boundaries of the United States.  With at least five (5) Business Days prior notice, the Servicer shall make available for inspection by the Seller, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Seller, the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct.

 

Section 3.5.                                                              Instructions; Authority To Act.  The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee.

 

Section 3.6.                                                              Custodian’s Indemnification.  The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Trust, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee (or any of their officers, directors and agents) as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable: (a) to the Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee, and (b) to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee; and, provided further, that the Servicer shall only be liable pursuant to this Section 3.6 for its acts or omissions committed during the period it is serving as custodian hereunder.  Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Servicer as custodian, the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.7.                                                              Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section.  If any Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of any Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.1, the appointment of such Servicer as custodian shall be terminated by:  (a) the Indenture Trustee, (b) the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance, (c) with the consent of Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance, the Trustee or (d) Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.1.  The Indenture Trustee or, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Trustee may terminate the Servicer’s appointment as custodian, with cause, at any time upon written notification to the Servicer, and without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notification to the Servicer. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent at such place(s) as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.

 

Section 3.8.                                                              [Reserved].

ARTICLE IV
 Administration and Servicing of Receivables

 

Section 4.1.                                                              Duties of Servicer.  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuing Entity, and (to the extent provided herein) the Indenture Trustee shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, exercises with respect to all comparable equipment receivables that it services for its Affiliates or others. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons or statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. Subject to Section 4.2, the Servicer shall follow its then current customary standards, policies and procedures (“Servicing Procedures”) in performing its duties as Servicer.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables or the Financed Equipment securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuing Entity shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s direction (and, so long as the Servicer is NH Credit, at the Servicer’s expense), take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

 

Section 4.2.                                                              Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments.  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow its Servicing Procedures.  The Servicer shall allocate collections between principal and interest in accordance with its Servicing Procedures.

 

Without limiting the generality of the preceding or Section 4.1, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, refunds, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments on a Receivable (regardless of whether or not the Receivable is a 180-Day Receivable, subject only to the following proviso) in accordance with its Servicing Procedures; provided, however, that if a Receivable is not a 180-Day Receivable and the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date or (ii) reduces the APR of a Receivable or reduces the aggregate amount of the Scheduled Payments due on any Receivable other than as required by applicable law (including the order of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Servicer may make such modifications to a Receivable but it shall promptly

 

7











 

purchase the Receivable from the Issuing Entity in accordance with Section 4.6 (a “Modification Purchase Event”); provided, further, that the Servicer shall not make a modification described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) that would trigger a Modification Purchase Event for the sole purpose of purchasing a Receivable from the Issuing Entity. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Servicing Procedures, waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

 

Subject to the proviso of the third sentence of this Section 4.2, the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable equipment receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself or others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables.  The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of an Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Equipment.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer and its Affiliates may refinance any Receivable and deposit an amount equal to the Purchase Amount for such Receivable into the Collection Account.  The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuing Entity, and related Financed Equipment and any part of the Receivables Files and other CNHCR Assets related to such Receivable shall be released to the Servicer or its Affiliate and shall no longer be subject to the terms hereof or the Indenture; provided further, that any security interests in favor of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture in the related Financed Equipment and any other CNHCR Assets related to such Receivable shall be deemed released upon such deposit.  The parties hereto intend that the Servicer and its Affiliates will not refinance a Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.2 in order to provide direct or indirect assurance to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Trustee, the Noteholders, or the Certificateholder, as applicable, against loss by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency (or other credit condition) of, or default by, the Obligor on, or the uncollectability of, any Receivable.

 

Section 4.3.                                                              Realization upon Receivables.  For the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with its Servicing Procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Equipment securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely.  The Servicer shall follow such Servicing Procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of equipment receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers and selling the Financed Equipment at public or private sale.  The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Equipment shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Equipment unless it shall determine in accordance with its Servicing Procedures that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

 

8











 

Liquidated Receivables will be transferred to the Servicer or CNHICA (as the Servicer determines at such time) on the Business Day following the day on which such Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable (the “Liquidated Receivable Transfer Date”) so long as the related Liquidation Proceeds are deposited before the Liquidated Receivables are transferred to the Servicer or CNHICA, as applicable, and as of the Liquidated Receivable Transfer Date such Liquidated Receivables will no longer constitute Receivables for any purposes hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the applicable Liquidated Receivable Transfer Date (i) the Issuing Entity, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee shall transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHICA or Servicer, as applicable, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of the Issuing Entity’s, the Seller’s and the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Liquidated Receivables and any related Financed Equipment and Collateral, and all security and documents relating thereto, other than Liquidation Proceeds (the “Liquidated Collateral”), and (ii) the Issuing Entity, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have released any security interest and any other claim in such Liquidated Collateral under this Agreement and the Basic Documents, without any further act or deed, and such Liquidated Collateral shall be free of the Grant contained in the Indenture.

 

Section 4.4.                                                              Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Equipment.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Servicing Procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Equipment (which may consist of Substitute Equipment); provided however, the Servicer may allow Financed Equipment to be released from any security interest in connection with Section 4.14.  The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to perfect or re-perfect such security interest for the benefit of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of any Financed Equipment, any change to the UCC, a substitution of Substitute Equipment or for any other reason.  Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Successor Servicer in connection with any such re-perfection shall be reimbursable in accordance with Section 5.6(b)(x).

 

Section 4.5.                                                              Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer shall not release the Financed Equipment securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder or repossession, or as permitted under Section 4.14 or if such Receivable is a Reacquired Receivable, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in such Receivables. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Servicing Procedures, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering the Financed Equipment as of the execution of the Receivable.

 

Section 4.6.                                                              Purchase of Receivables upon Breach or Due to Modification.  The Servicer or the Trustee shall inform the other party, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, NH Credit and CNHICA promptly, in writing, upon the occurrence or discovery of any breach pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5.  Unless a breach, pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5 shall have been cured by the last day of the Collection Period in which such breach occurs or is discovered, as applicable, the Servicer shall purchase or shall cause CNHICA to purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day.  In connection with a Modification Purchase Event, or if the Servicer takes any action not in accordance with its

 

9











 

Servicing Procedures during any Collection Period pursuant to Section 4.2 that materially impairs the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in any Receivable, the Servicer shall purchase the related Receivable as of the last day of such Collection Period.  As consideration for the purchase of any such Receivable pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, the Servicer shall remit or shall cause CNHICA to remit, as applicable, the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.5.  Subject to Section 7.2, the sole remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders with respect to a breach pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase or to cause CNHICA to purchase, as applicable, Receivables pursuant to this Section.  The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the purchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section.

 

Section 4.7.                                                              Servicing Fee.  The Servicing Fee for each Collection Period shall be equal to 1/12th of 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period; provided that with respect to any Successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicing Fee for each Collection Period shall be equal to the greater of (a) 1/12th of 1.00% of the Pool Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period, (b) $8.50 per Contract in the Trust Estate as of the first day of such Collection Period and (c) $5,000.

 

Section 4.8.                                                              Servicer’s Certificate.  On each Determination Date (beginning with the Determination Date immediately preceding the initial Payment Date) the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Seller with a copy to the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s Certificate (containing substantially the same information as set forth in the form on Exhibit C) containing all information necessary to make the distributions pursuant to Sections 5.6 and 5.7 and the deposits to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.3 for the Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer’s Certificate.

 

Section 4.9.                                                              Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.  (a)  The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, on or before March 30 of each year, an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer providing such information as is required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB with respect to the prior calendar year.

 

(b)                                 The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuing Entity, on or before March 30 of each year, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria specified in Item 1122 of Regulation AB during the immediately preceding calendar year, including any material instance of noncompliance identified by the Servicer as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

 

(c)                                  The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.1(a) or (b).

 

Section 4.10.                                                       Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants’ Report.  The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may also render

 

10











 

other services to the Servicer, the Seller or any other Affiliate of CNH Industrial, to deliver to the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and, subject to Section 10.18, the Rating Agencies on or before March 30 of each year a report, providing its assessment of compliance with the minimum servicing criteria during the preceding calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance, as required by Rule 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB.  Such attestation will be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

 

The report required by this Section may be replaced, at the Servicer’s option, by any similar report or certification using standards which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In the event that such firm requires the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee makes no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

 

Such report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

 

Section 4.11.                                                       Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables.  The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the office of the Servicer.  Provided, however, at any time upon written request of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will provide (within 10 days of receipt of such request) an electronic data file containing all relevant loan level information on each Receivable necessary for a Successor Servicer to assume servicing responsibilities, including current mailing address and telephone number, current balance, payment schedule and past due status of each Obligor (such request not to be made more frequently than one per month).  Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

 

Section 4.12.                                                       Servicer Expenses.  The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Certificateholders and the Noteholders.

 

Section 4.13.                                                       Appointment of Subservicer.  The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith

 

11











 

(other than with respect to the appointment of CNHICA, as subservicer, with respect to the Receivables); and provided further, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of any subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time and none of the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor.

 

Section 4.14.                                                       Substitution of Financed Equipment.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Basic Documents to the contrary, in accordance with the Servicing Procedures, the Financed Equipment relating to a Receivable may be replaced with substitute equipment, of equal or greater value (in the Servicer’s reasonable determination) than the original related Financed Equipment (“Substitute Equipment”); provided, however, the only conditions to such a substitution (in addition to its being in accordance with the Servicing Procedures) shall be the perfection of the first priority security interest in the related Substitute Equipment in favor of CNHICA, and a first priority perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in all of CNHICA’s right, title and interest in its security interest in the Substitute Equipment.  Following such substitution, the Substitute Equipment shall be considered the Financed Equipment related to such Receivable for all purposes hereunder and under the Basic Documents, and (i) the Issuing Entity, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to CNHICA (or its Affiliate designated by it), without recourse, representation or warranty, all of the Issuing Entity’s, the Seller’s and the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under such original Financed Equipment, and all security and documents relating thereto, and (ii) the Issuing Entity, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have released any security interest and any other claim in such original Financed Equipment (and all security and documents relating thereto) hereunder and under the other Basic Documents, without any further act or deed, and such original Financed Equipment (and all security and documents relating thereto) will be free of the Grant contained in the Indenture.

(a) (i)  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.

 

(ii)                                  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation

(b)                                 Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account, and the Spread Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested or reinvested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by and as directed in writing by the Servicer (which written direction may be in the form of standing instructions) or if the Servicer fails to provide written direction, shall be invested or reinvested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments specified in paragraph (d) of the definition of “Eligible Investments” (without giving effect to the proviso therein) as set forth in Appendix A to the Indenture; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the selection of, or any loss arising from such investment in, Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall be held or controlled by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as applicable (and for the purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC, each Eligible Investment is intended to constitute a Financial Asset, and each of the Trust Accounts is intended to constitute a Securities Account); provided, that on each Transfer Date, all Investment Earnings on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Total Distribution Amount. Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall be invested in Eligible Investments (or other investments permitted by the Rating Agencies) that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Transfer Date preceding the following Payment Date; provided, however, that funds on deposit in Trust Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments of the entity serving as Indenture Trustee payable on demand or that mature so that such funds will be available on the Payment Date. Funds deposited in a Trust Account on the Transfer Date that precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity or liquidation of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.

 

(c)                                  (i)  The Indenture Trustee shall possess or control all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate.  The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, as the case may be.  If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10

 

13











 

Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments held in the no-longer Eligible Deposit Account to such new Trust Account.

 

(ii)                                  With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

 

(A)                               any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.1(c)(i);  and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

 

(B)                               any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Certificated Security shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (i) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or its agent;

 

(C)                               any such Trust Account Property that constitutes an Uncertificated Security (including any investments in money market mutual funds, but excluding any Federal Book Entry Security) shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its custodian or nominee’s) ownership of such security; and

 

(D)                               with respect to any Trust Account Property that constitutes a Federal Book Entry Security, the Indenture Trustee shall maintain and obtain Control over such property.

 

(iii)                               The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Trustee, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer or the Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

 

(d)                                 All Trust Accounts will initially be established at the Indenture Trustee.

 

Section 5.2.                                                              [Reserved].

The Servicer shall, and shall cause any subservicer to, remit to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables, and all Liquidation Proceeds, both as collected during the Collection Period, and in either case within two Business Days of the date that the Servicer has identified and posted such amounts (which the Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to do promptly) to the Servicer’s computer system (the “Posted Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as: (i) NH

 

14











 

Credit remains the Servicer, (ii) no Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iii) prior to ceasing remittances as described in the preceding sentence, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied (and any conditions or limitations imposed by the Rating Agencies in connection therewith are complied with), the Servicer shall remit such collections with respect to the related Collection Period to the Collection Account on the Transfer Date immediately following the end of such Collection Period.  For purposes of this Article V, the phrase “payments by or on behalf of the Obligors” shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or the Seller.

 

Section 5.4.                                                              Application of Collections.  (a)  With respect to each Receivable, all collections for the Collection Period shall be applied in accordance with the Servicer’s Servicing Procedures.

 

(b)                                 All Liquidation Proceeds shall be applied to the related Receivable.

The Servicer and the Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables on the Transfer Date related to the Collection Period on the last day of which the purchase occurs, and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to be paid under Section 9.1 on the Transfer Date falling in the Collection Period referred to in Section 9.1.  The Servicer shall deposit the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables when such obligations are due, unless the Servicer shall not be required to make deposits within two Business Days of receipt of funds pursuant to Section 5.3, in which case such deposits shall be made on the Transfer Date following the related Collection Period.

 

Section 5.6.                                                              Distributions.  (a)  On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate all amounts required to determine the amounts to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account, the Certificate Distribution Account and the Spread Account.

 

(b)                                 On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date pursuant to Section 4.8) to make from the Collection Account the following deposits and distributions for receipt by the party as provided below or deposit in the applicable Trust Account or Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable, by 10:00 a.m. (New York time), to the extent of the Total Distribution Amount, in the following order of priority:

(xi)                              to the Servicer, to cover any accrued and unpaid reimbursable expenses; and

It is understood and agreed that, with respect to the amounts to be distributed pursuant to this Section 5.6(c), the Servicer shall, to the extent necessary (i) deposit into the Collection Account any amounts received as payments by or on behalf of any Obligor (and not previously deposited into the Collection Account) on or prior to the A-1 Note Final Scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) make each calculation that would otherwise be made on a Determination Date (with appropriate adjustments) in accordance with Section 4.8 on the Business Day immediately proceeding the A-1 Note Final Scheduled Maturity Date, (iii) on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the A-1 Note Final Scheduled Maturity Date, make any adjustments to the Note Monthly Principal Distributable Amount, the Class Interest Amount and any other amount to be paid on such Payment Date, and (iv) make any other calculation, adjustment or correction that

(d)                                 During the period from the date the Servicer is no longer performing as Servicer (due to being terminated or due to its ceasing to perform as Servicer) (the “Predecessor Servicer”) until the effectiveness of the transition of the Successor Servicer as provided herein (the “Transition Period”), in the event that neither NH Credit, as the Predecessor Servicer, nor the Successor Servicer, has delivered the Servicer’s Certificate containing instructions to the Indenture Trustee (required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof) on or before 11:00 am New York time on any Payment Date so as to enable the Indenture Trustee to make payments pursuant to and in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 5.6 hereof and Section 8.2 of the Indenture on the relevant Payment Dates during the Transition Period, the Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent such funds are available, withdraw amounts from the Collection Account and the Spread Account (based upon the information set forth under “Interest & Principal Payments Pursuant to Section 5.6(d) and 5.6(e)(ii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement” in the last Servicer’s Certificate that the Indenture Trustee received from the Predecessor Servicer) and therefrom make payments of, (i) interest for each Note due on such Payment Date that takes place during the Transition Period and, (ii) to the extent that the Final Scheduled Maturity Date for any Notes occurs during the Transition Period, the outstanding principal amount on such Notes due on its applicable Final Scheduled Maturity Date, in each case in accordance with the priority set forth above in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.  During the Transition Period, until NH Credit or the Successor Servicer has delivered the Servicer’s Certificate required under Section 4.8 hereof, any amounts remaining in the Collection Account and the Spread Account, after the payments referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above are made, shall be held therein until the next Payment Date and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to make any other payments in respect of such Payment Date.

 

(e)                                  (i) In the event the Servicer’s Certificate shows that, as of any Determination Date, there are amounts on deposit in the Collection Account which do not constitute part of the Total Distribution Amount and to which the Depositor is entitled hereunder, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee to forthwith pay such amount to or upon its written order.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Servicer has not delivered the Servicer’s Certificate containing instructions to the Indenture Trustee (required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof) on or before 11:00 am New York time on any Payment Date so as to enable the Indenture Trustee to make payments pursuant to and in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 5.6 hereof and Section 8.2 of the Indenture on such Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent such funds are available, withdraw amounts from the Collection Account and the Spread Account (based upon the information set forth under “Interest & Principal Payments Pursuant to Section 5.6(d) and 5.6(e)(ii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement” in the last Servicer’s Certificate that the Indenture Trustee received from the Servicer) and therefrom make payments of interest and principal on such Payment Date, in each case, in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

(b)                                 If the amount on deposit in the Spread Account on any Payment Date (after giving effect to all deposits or withdrawals therefrom on such Payment Date) is greater than the Specified Spread Account Balance for such Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to distribute the amount of the excess to the Seller (and its transferees and assignees in accordance with their respective interests); provided, that if, after giving effect to all payments made on the Notes on such Payment Date, the Pool Balance as of the first day of the Collection Period in which such Payment Date occurs is less than the Note Balance, such excess shall not be distributed to the Seller (and its transferees and assignees in accordance with their respective interests) and shall be retained in the Spread Account for application in accordance with this Agreement. Amounts properly distributed pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) shall be deemed released from the Trust and the security interest therein granted to the Indenture Trustee, and the Seller (and its transferees and assignees in accordance with their respective interests) shall in no event thereafter be required to refund any such distributed amounts.

 

(c)                                  Following: (i) the payment in full of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed hereunder or under the Indenture to the Noteholders, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and (ii) the termination of the Trust, any amount remaining on deposit in the Spread Account shall be distributed to the Seller or any transferee or assignee pursuant to clause (e).

(d)                                 In the event that the First Principal Payment Amount and the Noteholders’ Distributable Amount for a Payment Date exceeds the amount deposited into the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 5.6(b)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) on such Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee on such Payment Date to withdraw from the Spread Account on such Payment Date an amount equal to such excess, to the extent of funds available therein, and deposit such amount into the Note Distribution Account.

 

(e)                                  The Seller may at any time, without consent of the Noteholders, sell, transfer, convey or assign in any manner its rights to and interests in distributions from the Spread Account, including interest and other investment earnings thereon; provided, that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

Section 6.2.                                                              Company Existence.  (a)  During the term of this Agreement, the Seller will keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Basic Documents and each other instrument or agreement necessary or appropriate to the proper administration of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(b)                                 During the term of this Agreement, the Seller shall observe the applicable legal requirements for the recognition of the Seller as a legal entity separate and apart from its Affiliates, including as follows:

(iii)                               the Seller shall hold such appropriate meetings or obtain such appropriate consents of its Board of Directors as are necessary to authorize all the Seller’s actions required by law to be authorized by the Board of Directors, shall keep minutes of such meetings and of meetings of its member(s) and observe all other customary limited liability company formalities (and any successor Seller not a limited liability company shall observe similar procedures in accordance with its governing documents and applicable law);

 

(iv)                              the Seller shall at all times hold itself out to the public under the Seller’s own name as a legal entity separate and distinct from its Affiliates; and

 

22











 

(v)                                 all transactions and dealings between the Seller and its Affiliates will be conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

 

Section 6.3.                                                              Liability of Seller; Indemnities.  The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement.

 

(a)                                 The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuing Entity, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (and their officers, directors, employees and agents) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any of them with respect to the sale of the Receivables to the Issuing Entity or the issuance and original sale of the Notes, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuing Entity, not including any taxes asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or federal or other income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.

 

(b)                                 The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuing Entity, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (and their officers, directors, employees and agents) from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

 

Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest.

 

Section 6.4.                                                              Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller.  Any Person: (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole, which Person (in any of the foregoing cases) executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement (or is deemed by law to have assumed such obligations), shall be the successor to the Seller hereunder without the execution or filing of any document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.1 shall have been breached and no Servicer Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction and (iv) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either: (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements, continuation statements and amendments

 

23











 

thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Trustee and Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c).

 

Section 6.5.                                                              Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.  The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

 

Section 6.6.                                                              Seller May Own Certificates or Notes.  The Seller and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Certificates or the Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Basic Document.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not sell the Certificates except to an entity (a) that has provided an opinion of counsel to the effect that such sale will not cause the Trust to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under the Code and (b) that either (i) is not an Affiliate of the Seller or (ii) is an Affiliate of the Seller that (A) is a subsidiary of CNHICA or NH Credit, the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of which contains restrictions substantially similar to the restrictions contained in the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of the Seller and (B) has provided an Opinion of Counsel regarding substantive consolidation of such Affiliate with CNHICA or NH Credit in the event of a bankruptcy filing by CNHICA or NH Credit, as applicable, which is substantially similar to the Opinion of Counsel provided by Seller on the Closing Date, and which may be subject to the same assumptions and qualifications as that opinion.

The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
 Default

 

Section 8.1.                                                              Servicer Default.  If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

(a)                                 any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer;

 

(b)                                 any failure by the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements (other than as set forth in clause (a)) of the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, which failure shall: (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders or Noteholders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given: (A) to the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) by the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) and to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, by the Noteholders or Certificateholders, as applicable, evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or 25% of the beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity;

 

(c)                                  an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer; or

 

(d)                                 [Reserved];

 

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee, or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee if given by the Noteholders), may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.2) of the Servicer under this Agreement.  On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates, the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.2; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the termination of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise.  The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of: (i) all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall

 

29











 

thereafter be received by it with respect to a Receivable and (ii) all Receivable Files. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such transfer, including the costs of transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect its succession as Servicer, shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.  Upon receipt of written notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies and/or the Seller pursuant to Section 10.18.

 

Section 8.2.                                                              Appointment of Successor Servicer.  (a)  Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, pursuant to Section 8.1, or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the earlier of: (x) the date 60 days from the delivery to the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with this Agreement and (y) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s termination hereunder, the Issuing Entity shall appoint a Successor Servicer acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee.  In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee.  Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of equipment receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Upon appointment, the Successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as Successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer (except with respect to responsibilities and obligations of the predecessor Servicer set forth in Section 7.2) and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by this Agreement.  None of the Indenture Trustee or any other Successor Servicer shall be deemed to be liable for or in breach of any obligations hereunder due to any act or omission of a predecessor Servicer, including but not limited to failure of such predecessor Servicer to timely deliver to the Indenture Trustee any required information pertaining to the Receivables, any funds required to be deposited with the Indenture Trustee, or any breach of duty of such predecessor Servicer to cooperate with a transfer of servicing as required hereunder.  Any Successor Servicer shall from time to time provide to NH Credit such information as NH Credit shall reasonably request with respect to the Receivables and collections thereon.

 

(c)                                  Subject to the Indenture Trustee’s right to appoint a Successor Servicer pursuant to the last sentence of clause (a) after the Indenture Trustee has become Servicer, the

 

30











 

Servicer may not resign unless it is prohibited from serving as such by law as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Trustee.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any transition expenses, servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or be liable for or be required to make any servicer advances.

 

Section 8.3.                                                              Notification to Noteholders and Certificateholders.  Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and, subject to Section 10.18, the Rating Agencies.

 

Section 8.4.                                                              Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance (or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, in the case of any default that does not materially and adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders) may, on behalf of all the Noteholders and Certificateholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 9.1.                                                              Optional Purchase of All Receivables.  (a)  As of the first day of any Collection Period immediately preceding a Payment Date as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, CNHICA shall have the option (but no obligation) to purchase all of the Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts.  To exercise such option, CNHICA shall deposit, pursuant to Section 5.5, in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables plus the value of any other property held by the Trust, such value to be as reasonably determined by CNHICA, and CNHICA shall succeed to all interests in, to and under the Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts; provided that CNHICA shall not exercise such option unless the amount so deposited, together with funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts, would be sufficient to pay the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom have been made (the “Sale Proceeds”) in the Collection Account.  On the Payment Date, or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Payment Date, on the first Payment Date following the date on which the Sale Proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account, the

 

31











 

Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to make the following payments and deposits (after the application on such Payment Date of the Total Distribution Amount and funds on deposit in the Spread Account pursuant to Sections 5.6 and 5.7) from the Sale Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Spread Account (including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein as described in the following sentence):

Any investments on deposit in the Spread Account that will not mature on or before such Payment Date shall be sold by the Indenture Trustee at such time as will result in the Indenture Trustee receiving the proceeds from such sale not later than the Transfer Date preceding such Payment Date.

 

(c)                                  As described in Article IX of the Trust Agreement, once CNHICA has made its determination to make the purchase described under Section 9.1(a) (the “Clean-Up Call”), the Servicer shall send notice of the anticipated dissolution of the Trust to the Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice of the Clean-Up Call.

 

(d)                                 Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)                                  The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables, the Servicer’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuing Entity and has been pledged to Citibank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee. Indication of the Issuing Entity’s and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable may be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased or purchased by the Servicer, or otherwise transferred to the Servicer or CNHICA pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof.

 

(f)                                   If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in equipment receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuing Entity and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.

(2)                                 any failure by Citibank, N.A. to deliver any Servicing Criteria assessment, information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Sections 10.15 and 10.16;

 

(b)                                 In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(2) of this Section, Citibank, N.A. shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all costs reasonably incurred in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by Citibank, N.A.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Citibank, N.A. be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, even if Citibank, N.A. has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The parties hereto (other than the Seller and its Affiliates but excluding the Issuing Entity) agree that any notices or requests to, or any other written communications with, any of the Rating Agencies, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees, to be given or provided to such Rating Agencies pursuant to, in connection with or related, directly or indirectly, to the Basic Documents, the Collateral or the Notes, shall be in each case either (i) furnished to the Seller who shall forward such communication to the Rating Agencies, or (ii) furnished directly to the Rating Agencies with a prior copy to the Seller.  In either case, the parties hereto (other than the Seller and its Affiliates but excluding the Issuing Entity) further agree to provide such notices, requests and communications or copies thereof, as applicable, to the Seller at least one Business Day prior to the date when such notices, requests and communications are required to be delivered (or are in fact delivered, whichever is earlier) to the Rating Agencies pursuant to the Basic Documents.

Letter re: Citibank, N.A. Information

EXHIBIT A

 

The indenture trustee under the indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued is Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), a national banking association with its office located at 388 Greenwich St., 14th Floor, New York, NY 10013, and wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., a Delaware corporation. Citibank performs as indenture trustee through the Agency and Trust line of business, a part of Issuer Services.  Citibank has primary corporate trust offices located in both New York and London.  Citibank is a leading provider of corporate trust services offering a full range of agency, fiduciary, tender and exchange, depositary and escrow services.  As of the end of the second quarter of 2014, Citibank’s Agency and Trust group manages in excess of $5.2 trillion in fixed income and equity investments on behalf of over 2,500 corporations worldwide.  Since 1987, Citibank Agency and Trust has provided corporate trust services for asset-backed securities containing pool assets consisting of airplane leases, auto loans and leases, boat loans, commercial loans, commodities, credit cards, durable goods, equipment loans and leases, foreign securities, funding agreement backed note programs, truck loans, utilities, student loans and commercial and residential mortgages.  As of the end of the second quarter of 2014, Citibank acts as indenture trustee and/or paying agent for approximately 235 various asset backed trusts supported by either auto loans or leases or equipment loans or leases.

 

J-4











 

EXHIBIT B

 

In the ordinary course of business, Citibank is involved in a number of legal proceedings.  In connection with its role as trustee of certain RMBS transactions, Citibank has been named as a defendant in civil litigation.  A group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank serves as trustee filed a civil action on June 18, 2014 against Citibank in the Supreme Court of the State of New York asserting claims for alleged violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the RMBS trusts. Neither the above-disclosed litigation nor any other pending legal proceedings involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank’s ability to perform its duties as indenture trustee under the indenture for this transaction. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigation or the possible impact of the litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.  However, Citibank denies liability and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.

With respect to the Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, the Servicer or a Subservicer, as custodian, received possession of such original tangible chattel paper and the Issuing Entity has received a written acknowledgment (which is contained in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) from such custodian that it is acting solely as agent of the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed under this clause 4 contain a statement that “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party”.

 

5.             Priority.  Other than the security interests granted to the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the security interests granted under documents relating to the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, which have been released, and any other security interest which has been released or terminated, CNHCR has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.  CNHCR has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against CNHCR that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interests granted to the Issuing Entity under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and

the security interests granted in connection with the documents relating to the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Prior Securitization, each of which have been released, (ii) that has been terminated or has released the Receivables from such security interest, or (iii) that has been granted pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents.  None of the tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.  CNHCR is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it.

 

6.             Survival of Perfection Representations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Schedule P shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (other than with respect to Reacquired Receivables).

 

7.             No Waiver.  The parties to the Sale and Servicing Agreement: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes, waive a material breach of any of the representations and warranties in this Schedule P (the “Perfection Representations”); (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any material breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a material breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

 

8.             Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority.  The Servicer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of CNHCR and Issuing Entity under this Agreement, Servicer shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by Issuing Entity) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, Issuing Entity’s security interest in the Receivables.  Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to Issuing Entity for Issuing Entity to authorize the Servicer to file all financing statements, amendments, continuations, financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Issuing Entity’s security interest in the Receivables as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”).  Issuing Entity shall promptly authorize in writing Servicer to, and Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of CNHCR or Issuing Entity where allowed by applicable law.
