the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser and
the subsequent assignment and transfer of such Receivables to the Trust
pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and pursuant to the Indenture:
(i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable: (A)
(1) was originated in the United States of America by a Dealer in
connection with the retail sale or lease of Financed Equipment in
the ordinary course of such Dealer's business, was purchased by
the Originator from a Dealer and was validly assigned by such
Dealer to the Originator in accordance with its terms, or (2) was
originated in the United States of America by Case Credit in
connection with the lease of Financed Equipment in the ordinary
course of Case Credit's business and, in either case, was fully
and properly executed by the parties thereto, (B) has created a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first priority security interest
in favor of the Originator in the Financed Equipment, which is
assignable by the Originator to the Purchaser, by the Purchaser to
the Issuer and by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, except that
the Originator makes no representation or warranty as to the
priority of the security interest granted by any Dealer to secure
the Dealer's obligations to make payments in respect of
Termination Values, (C) contains customary and enforceable
provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
are adequate for realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security, and (D) (i) in the case of Retail
Installment Contracts, provides for fixed payments on a periodic
basis that fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and
yield interest at the Annual Percentage Rate, and (ii) in the case
of Leases, provides for fixed payments on a periodic basis that
fully amortize the Amount Financed by maturity and yield interest
at the Annual Percentage Rate, except that Leases also for provide
payments of the related Termination Values.
8
(ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth
on Schedule A to the First-Tier Assignment delivered on the
Closing Date is true and correct in all material respects as of
the opening of business on the Initial Cutoff Date and the
information set forth on Schedule A to the related First-Tier
Subsequent Transfer Assignment will be true and correct on each
Subsequent Transfer Date and no selection procedures believed by
the Originator to be adverse to the interests of the Trust, the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders were or will be utilized in
selecting the Receivables. The computer tape regarding the
Receivables made available to the Purchaser and its assigns is
true and correct in all respects.
(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and the sale
or lease of the related Financed Equipment complied in all
material respects at the time it was originated or made and at the
execution of this Agreement and each First-Tier Subsequent
Transfer Assignment complies in all material respects with all
requirements of applicable Federal, State and local laws and
regulations thereunder, including usury law, the Federal Truth-in-
Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Warranty Act, the Federal
Reserve Board's Regulations B and S, the Wisconsin Consumer Act
and State adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the
Uniform Consumer Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and
equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.
(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the
genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of
the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with
its terms.
(v) No Government Obligor. None of the Receivables is due
from the United States of America or any State or from any agency,
department or instrumentality of the United States of America or
any State.
(vi) Security Interest in Financed Equipment. Immediately
prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof, each
Receivable shall be secured by a validly perfected first priority
security interest in the Financed Equipment in favor of the
Originator as secured party or all necessary and appropriate
actions have been commenced that would result in the valid
perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed
Equipment in favor of the Originator as secured party, except that
the Originator makes no representation or warranty as to the
priority of the security interest granted by any Dealer to secure
the Dealer's obligations to make payments in respect of
Termination Values.
9
(vii) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed
Equipment been released from the Lien granted by the related
Receivable in whole or in part.
(viii) No Amendment or Waiver. No provision of a
Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect,
except pursuant to a document, instrument or writing included in
the Receivable Files and no such amendment, waiver, alteration or
modification causes such Receivable not to conform to the other
warranties contained in this Section.
(ix) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened or exists
with respect to any Receivable.
(x) No Liens. To the best of the Originator's knowledge,
no Liens or claims, including claims for work, labor or materials,
relating to any of the Financed Equipment have been filed that are
Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest
in the Financed Equipment granted by any Receivable.
(xi) No Default. No Receivable is a non-performing
Receivable or has a payment that is more than 90 days overdue as
of the Initial Cutoff Date or Subsequent Cutoff Date, as
applicable, and, except for a payment default continuing for a
period of not more than 90 days, no default, breach, violation or
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable
has occurred and is continuing; and no continuing condition that
with notice or the lapse of time would constitute such a default,
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms
of any Receivable has arisen; and the Originator has not waived
and shall not waive any of the foregoing.
(xii) Title. It is the intention of the Originator that
the transfers and assignments contemplated herein and in the
Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement constitute a sale of the
Receivables from the Originator to the Purchaser 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 Originator under any bankruptcy or
similar law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or
pledged by the Originator to any Person other than the Purchaser.
Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments contemplated
herein and in the Liquidity Receivables Purchase Agreement, the
Originator had good title to each Receivable, free and clear of
all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the
Purchaser shall have good title to each
10
Receivable, free and clear of all Liens; and the transfer and
assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser has been perfected
under the UCC.
(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been
originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction
under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable
or any Receivable under this Agreement, the Liquidity Receivables
Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the
Indenture is unlawful, void or voidable.
(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC
filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Purchaser a
first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables
have been made.
(xv) One Original. There is only one original executed
copy of each Receivable.
(xvi) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has a
remaining term to maturity of not more than 72 months, in the case
of the Initial Receivables, and 72 months, in the case of the
Subsequent Receivables; the weighted average remaining term of the
Initial Receivables is approximately 46.46 months as of the
Initial Cutoff Date; the weighted average original term of the
Receivables, including as of each Subsequent Transfer Date all
Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to the Purchaser,
will not be greater than 55.0 months.
(xvii) Scheduled Payments and APR. No Receivable has a
final scheduled payment date later than six months preceding the
Final Scheduled Maturity Date; each Receivable provides for
payments that fully amortize the Amount Financed over the original
term of the Receivable, except that Leases also provide for
payments of the related Termination Values, and is a Precomputed
Receivable; each Receivable has an APR of at least 3.0%; and as of
each Subsequent Cutoff Date, the weighted average of the Initial
Cutoff Date APR and each Subsequent Cutoff Date APR (weighted on
the basis of the respective aggregate Contract Values of the
Receivables for which each such APR is used to calculate the
Contract Value) will not be less than the weighted average
interest rate on the Outstanding Notes plus 1.00% per annum.
(xviii) Location of Receivable Files. The Receivable
Files are kept at one or more of the locations listed in Schedule
A hereto.
(xix) Insurance. The Obligor on each Receivable is
required to maintain physical damage insurance covering the
Financed Equipment and, in the case of any Lease, public liability
insurance relating to the use
11
of such Financed Equipment, in each case in accordance with the
Originator's normal requirements.
(xx) Concentrations. No Receivable has a Contract Value
(when combined with the Contract Value of any other Receivable
with the same or an Affiliated Obligor) that exceeds 1% of the
Initial Pool Balance.
(xxi) Financing. Approximately 58.77% of the aggregate
Contract Value of the Initial Receivables, constituting 52.66% of
the number of Initial Receivables as of the Initial Cutoff Date,
were secured by or constitute leases of equipment that was new at
the time the related Initial Receivable was originated; the
remainder of the Initial Receivables represent financing or leases
of used equipment; approximately 48.51% of the aggregate Contract
Value of the Initial Receivables, constituting 61.47% of the
number of Initial Receivables as of the Initial Cutoff Date,
represent financing or leases of agricultural equipment; the
remainder of the Initial Receivables represent financing or leases
of construction equipment. The aggregate Contract Value of the
Receivables for the purposes of the above calculations as of the
Initial Cutoff Date is $524,899,028.57 (and is calculated using
the individual APR applicable to each Initial Receivable).
Additionally, not more than 51.5% of the aggregate Contract Value
of the Receivables, including, as of each Subsequent Transfer
Date, all Subsequent Receivables previously transferred to the
Purchaser, will represent Contracts for the financing or lease of
construction equipment.

scheduled payments, and (D) Initial Receivables having an
aggregate Contract Value equal to 58.56% of the Initial Pool
Balance had monthly scheduled payments.
(xxvii) First Payment. As of the Initial Cutoff Date,
Obligors had not yet made the first payment in respect of Initial
Receivables representing less than _____% of the Initial Pool
Balance.
(xxviii) Interest Accruing. Each Receivable, other than
those Receivables consisting of Contracts that contain interest
waivers for a specified period of time, is, as of the Closing Date
or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable, accruing interest; no
Receivable contains an interest waiver extending more than 12
months after the Initial Cutoff Date.
(xxix) Full Payment Leases. Each Lease included in the
Initial Receivables or the Subsequent Receivables has a
Termination Value of $1 or less and is a "lease intended as
security" (rather than a true lease) within the meaning of Section
1-201(37) of the UCC.

(b) shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and
