1.                             New Holland Credit Company, LLC (“New Holland”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as of and for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”), as set forth in Appendix A hereto. The transactions covered by this report include publicly registered asset-backed securities transactions for which New Holland acted as servicer involving equipment receivables, other than transactions registered prior to compliance with Regulation AB (the “Platform”);

 

2.                             New Holland has engaged certain vendors (the “Vendors”) to perform specific, limited or scripted activities, and New Holland elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to such Vendors’ activities as set forth in Appendix A hereto;

 

3.                             Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, New Holland used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess the compliance with the applicable servicing criteria;

 

4.                             The criteria listed in the column titled “Inapplicable Servicing Criteria” on Appendix A hereto are inapplicable to New Holland based on the activities it performs, directly or through its Vendors, with respect to the Platform;

 

5.                             New Holland has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable servicing criteria to it as set forth on Appendix A hereto as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole;

 

6.                             New Holland has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria to them as set forth on Appendix A hereto as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole;

 

7.                             New Holland has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria to them as set forth on Appendix A hereto as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole;

 

8.                             None of the Vendors are servicers as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB;

 

9.                             New Holland has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to such Vendors; and

 

10.                          Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on New Holland’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as set forth on Appendix A hereto as of December 31, 2017 and for the Reporting Period.
