(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Series 200__ -

calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent for
purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent
may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or
unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation
Agent fails to
21
promptly determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuer shall promptly
appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or is not
controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuer may not remove the
Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed and having
accepted such appointment.
(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
determine LIBOR to equal the offered rate for Unites States dollar deposits for
one month that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on
the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the Interest Period. If that rate appears
on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be that rate. If on any LIBOR Determination
Date the offered rate does not appear on Telerate page 3750, the Calculation
Agent will request each of the Reference Banks, to provide the Calculation Agent
with its offered quotation for United States dollar deposits for one month to
prime banks in the London interbank market as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the
date. If at least two Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with the
offered quotations, LIBOR on that date will be the arithmetic mean, rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, of all the quotations. If
on that date fewer than two Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with
the offered quotations, LIBOR on that date will be the arithmetic mean, rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, of the offered per annum
rates that one or more leading banks in The City of
New York selected by the
Calculation Agent are quoting as of 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on that date
to leading European banks for United States dollar deposits for one month. If,
however, those banks are not quoting as described above, LIBOR for that date
will be LIBOR applicable to the Interest Period.

(3) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to CNH

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, in the case of any

shall be deemed to have occurred without any notice or other action on the part
of the Indenture Trustee or the Series 200__ - __ Noteholders immediately upon

no other Early Amortization Event that has not been cured or waived in
accordance with the Indenture has occurred [and (z) with evidence that the

Period will recommence as of the end of the first Collection Period during which
the Transferor would no longer be required to convey Receivables in Additional
Accounts to the Issuer; provided that the Revolving Period will not recommence
if the scheduled termination date of the Revolving Period has occurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, if an Early
Amortization Event (other than the Early Amortization Event specified in clause
(3) above and any of the Early Amortization Events specified in Section 12.01(a)
of the Indenture) has occurred and the scheduled termination of the Revolving
Period has not occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall request from S&P's a
confirmation that such Early Amortization Event will not cause a Ratings Effect.
If the Indenture Trustee receives such confirmation and the Holders of the
Series 200_-_ Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal
