ARTICLE III

The Receivables

SECTION 3.01 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 execution and delivery of this Agreement, 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 such 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 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 and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Issuing Entity shall have good and marketable title to each such Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer has been perfected under the UCC.

(b) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuing Entity a first perfected ownership interest in the Receivables, and to give the Indenture Trustee a first perfected security interest therein, shall have been made.

SECTION 3.02 Repurchase by Seller upon Breach. The Seller, the Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee (if the Indenture Trustee is not the notifying party) and JDCC promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.01 or JDCC’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the Purchase Agreement; provided that with respect to a Repurchase Request from a Noteholder, such Repurchase Request shall initially be provided to the Indenture Trustee. Unless any such breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second month following the month of the discovery thereof by the Seller or JDCC or receipt by JDCC or the Seller of written notice from the Seller, the Servicer, the Sub Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, of such breach, the Seller shall be obligated, and, if necessary, the Seller or the Owner Trustee shall enforce the obligation of JDCC under the Purchase Agreement, to repurchase the related Receivable if the breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuing Entity or the Noteholders in such Receivable, as of such last day (or, at the Seller’s option, the last day of the first month following the month of the discovery). In consideration of the repurchase of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit the Purchase Amount, in the manner specified in Section 5.03; provided, however, that the

obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Receivable arising solely as a result of a breach of JDCC’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the receipt by the Seller of the Purchase Amount from JDCC. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee’s obligations with respect to any Repurchase Request shall be limited as set forth in Section 12.03 of the Indenture.

In addition, if the Seller or JDCC receives a Repurchase Request from any Noteholder or from the Indenture Trustee, the Seller shall evaluate such request, and if the request has not been resolved, the alleged breach has not otherwise been cured or the related Receivable has not otherwise been repurchased within 180 days after the receipt of such request by JDCC or the Seller, as applicable (which if sent by a Noteholder to the Indenture Trustee, will be forwarded by the Indenture Trustee to the Seller and JDCC), the party making the Repurchase Request (the “Requesting Party”) may refer the Repurchase Request to an ADR Proceeding, at its discretion, pursuant to Section 11.02 by filing in accordance with the applicable Arbitration Rules and providing a notice to the Seller and JDCC. The Servicer shall deliver a Repurchase Response Notice to the Indenture Trustee at the end of such 180-day period, and, if the Requesting Party was a Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee shall forward the Repurchase Response Notice to the Requesting Party. Any election to refer a Repurchase Request to an ADR Proceeding must be delivered to the Seller and JDCC (i) within the applicable statute of limitations period and (ii) within 30 days of the delivery by the Servicer of the Repurchase Response Notice.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 and Section 11.02, the only remedy of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholder with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 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 or to enforce JDCC’s obligation to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. None of the Servicer, the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator shall have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section or to monitor repurchase activity or to independently determine whether a Repurchase Request remains unresolved after 180 days. Any action by the Indenture Trustee as Requesting Party under Sections 3.02 and 11.02 of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 12.03 of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.03 Custody of Receivable Files.

The Servicer shall make available to 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 as the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct.

SECTION 3.07 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cut-off Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If JDCC shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of any Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.01, the appointment of such Servicer as custodian shall be terminated by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or, with the consent of Holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by the Owner Trustee or by the Certificateholder, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01.

The Indenture Trustee or, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner 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.

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 Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder and 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 to the Financed Equipment securing such Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuing Entity (in the case of a Receivable other than a Purchased Receivable) 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 Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders.

extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond December 1, 2021, it shall promptly purchase the Receivable from the Issuing Entity in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not extend the final Scheduled Payment for the sole purpose of purchasing the Receivables from the Issuing Entity. The Servicer may, in its discretion, waive any additional interest above the related APR due on late Scheduled Payments or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not agree to any alteration of the interest rate on any Receivable and shall not agree to waive the repayment of the Amount Financed, or any portion thereof, on a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Recoveries shall be paid to the Seller and the related Liquidated Receivable shall be assigned by the Trust to the Seller.

SECTION 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise realize upon the Financed Equipment securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined pursuant to customary servicing procedures that eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable equipment receivables, which may include selling any Financed Equipment at public or private sale. The Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise its discretion consistent with its customary servicing procedures in servicing defaulted Receivables so as to maximize the net collections of such defaulted Receivables including, without limitation, selling such defaulted Receivables. The Servicer shall not be liable for any such exercise of its discretion made in good faith and in accordance with such servicing procedures.

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 accordance with Section 4.03 above or in the event of payment in full by the Obligor thereunder, nor shall the Servicer impair the rights of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholder or the Noteholders in such Receivables, nor shall the Servicer increase the number of scheduled payments due under a Receivable except in accordance with the terms thereof or the terms of Section 4.02.

(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 to make any required distributions therefrom that shall continue unremedied for a period of three Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

(b) failure on the part of 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 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

Certificateholder 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 Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be), and to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Certificateholder (as defined in the Trust Agreement); or

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee (so long as a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received notice or has actual knowledge of such Servicer Default), 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 Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) 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 Certificate or 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 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner 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 purposes of such notice of termination, 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 Owner 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 all relevant documents, data and cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to a Receivable and the successor Servicer shall not be liable if it cannot perform due to the failure of the predecessor Servicer to so deliver.

Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Owner Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Administrator, which shall make such notice available to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.02 Appointment of Successor.

(a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of 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 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (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.

The Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with Section 4.14. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action or failure to act on the part of the predecessor Servicer.

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.

Termination

SECTION 9.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables and Termination.

(a) On the last day of any Collection Period immediately preceding a Payment Date as of which the then outstanding Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Owner Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account; provided, however, that the Servicer may not effect any such purchase so long as the rating on Deere’s long-term debt obligations is less than “Baa3” by Moody’s, unless the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such purchase would not constitute a fraudulent conveyance; provided further that the Administrator shall make a copy of such Opinion of Counsel available to each Rating Agency and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such purchase. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.03 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Amount for the Receivables (including defaulted Receivables) and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust.

(b) Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom have been made (the “Insolvency Proceeds”) in the Collection Account. On the Payment Date on which the Insolvency Proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account (or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Payment Date, on the Payment Date immediately following such deposit), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to make the following deposits (after the application on such Payment Date of the Total Distribution Amount and funds on deposit in the Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 5.04 and 5.05) from the Insolvency Proceeds and any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account (to the extent such amounts are property of the Issuing Entity) (including the proceeds of any sale of investments therein as described in the following sentence):

(i) to the Note Distribution Account, any portion of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes not otherwise deposited into the Note Distribution Account on such Payment Date;

(ii) to the Note Distribution Account, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes (after giving effect to the reduction in the outstanding principal balance of the Notes to result from the deposits made in the Note Distribution Account on such Payment Date and on prior Payment Dates); and

(iii) to the Certificate Distribution Account, the Certificate Balance (after giving effect to the reduction in the Certificate Balance to result from the deposits made in the Certificate Distribution Account on such Payment Date).

Any investments on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Note Distribution Account (to the extent such amounts are property of the Issuing Entity) which 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. Any Insolvency Proceeds remaining after the deposits described above shall be paid to the Seller.

(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

(d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on, and the cancellation of all of, the Notes, the Certificateholder will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder other than Section 5.06(a) and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) This Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust.

(iv) The place of any mediation or arbitration shall be in New York City, but any party may appear by video conference or teleconference.

SECTION 11.03 Investor Communications. A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) that seeks to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners about a possible exercise of rights under the Indenture or the other Basic Documents may send a request to the Servicer.
