(c)                                  The Events of Default specified under Sections 5(a)(ii), 5(a)(iii), 5(a)(iv), 5(a)(v) and 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement will not apply to Party A or to Party B.  The provisions of Section 5(a)(vii) paragraph 2 will not be applicable as an Event of Default to the extent such event relates to nonpayment of indebtedness other than that of the Class A-4 Notes.

(d)                                 The “Credit Event Upon Merger” provisions of Section 5(b)(iv) will not apply to Party A or to Party B.

(e)                                  The “Automatic Early Termination” provision of Section 6(a) will not apply to Party A or to Party B.

(f)                                    Payments on Early Termination. For the purpose of Section 6(e) of this Agreement:-

(i)                                     Market Quotation will apply.

(ii)                                  The Second Method will apply.

(g)                                 “Termination Currency” means United States Dollars.

(h)                                 Additional Termination Events will apply. Each of the following shall constitute an Additional Termination Event:

(i)                                     Acceleration of the Notes or Liquidation of the Trust Estate. It shall be an Additional Termination Event with Party B the sole Affected Party and with Party A and Party B having the right to elect to terminate any Transaction (1) following an “Event of Default” under Section 5.1(i) or (ii) of the Indenture, and relating to a failure to pay any Class A Note, which event has resulted in an acceleration of any of the Class A Notes; provided such acceleration has not been rescinded and annulled pursuant to the Indenture, or (2) upon a liquidation of the Trust Estate (or any partial liquidation thereof) pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Indenture.  In such event, either Party A or Party B may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided such Additional Termination Event is continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.  If an event or circumstance which would constitute an Event of Default by Party A under this Agreement gives rise to an “Event of Default” under the Indenture, it will be treated as an Event of Default by Party A and not an Additional Termination Event.  If an “Event of Default” under the Indenture occurs while an Event of Default occurs with respect to Party B as the Defaulting Party hereunder, then such event will be treated as an Event of Default by Party B hereunder, with Party B as the Defaulting Party, and not as an Additional Termination Event.

(ii)                                  Amendments Made Without Consent of Party A.  It shall be an Additional Termination Event if any amendment and/or supplement to the Indenture (or

2




any other Basic Document) is made without the prior written consent of Party A (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), if such amendment and/or supplement would: (a) adversely affect any of Party A’s rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (b) adversely modify the obligations of, or adversely impact the ability of, Party B to fully perform any of Party B’s obligations under this Agreement.  In connection with such Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party.

(iii)                               Swap Disclosure Event.  Party A agrees and acknowledges that certain filings are required under Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (“Regulation AB”), to disclose certain financial information regarding Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate “significance percentage” of this Agreement and Counterparty, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.   It shall be a swap disclosure event (“Swap Disclosure Event”) if, on any Business Day after the date hereof, Party A is requested to provide the applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (such request to be based on a reasonable determination by Depositor, in good faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Swap Financial Disclosure”).  If, upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, Party A has not complied with the provisions set forth in the Disclosure Agreement (as defined below), then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Party A and Party A shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.  Party B agrees to cause a Form 15, suspending Party B’s requirement to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, to be filed upon Party B’s eligibility to so file as set forth in the Indenture and agrees to notify Party A upon such filing.  Following the filing of such Form 15 and any required Exchange Act reports subsequent thereto, Party A shall have no further obligation to provide the foregoing information.  “Disclosure Agreement” shall mean that certain Indemnification and Disclosure Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2006, between CNH Capital Receivables LLC, as depositor, and Bank of America, N.A., as swap provider.

(i)                                     Downgrade of Party A.  If a Ratings Event (as defined below) shall occur and be continuing with respect to Party A, then Party A shall use reasonable efforts to transfer, at its own expense, Party A’s rights and obligations under the Agreement and all Confirmations to another party, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition (as defined below).  Unless such a transfer by Party A has occurred within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of a Ratings Event, Party B shall demand that Party A post Eligible Collateral (as designated in the approved Credit Support Annex), to secure Party A’s exposure or potential exposure to Party B, and such Eligible Collateral shall be provided in accordance with a Credit Support Annex to be attached hereto and made a part hereof within 10 Business Days of Party B’s demand therefor.  The Eligible Collateral to be posted and the Credit Support Annex to be executed and delivered shall be subject to the Rating Agency Condition.  The Value of the Eligible Collateral to be posted at any time shall be equal to the greater of (a) the sum of Secured Party’s Exposure for that Valuation Date (as defined in the approved Credit Support Annex)

3




plus the product of the Notional Volatility Buffer multiplied by the Notional Amount and (b) zero.  Valuation and posting of Eligible Collateral shall be made weekly.   If Party A posts Eligible Collateral, Party A shall deliver to Standard & Poor’s Rating Service or any successor thereto (“S&P”), within 30 days of the Ratings Event, an enforceability opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to S&P, to the effect that the Eligible Collateral will be available to Party B in a timely manner in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Party A.  Notwithstanding the addition of the Credit Support Annex and the posting of Eligible Collateral, Party A shall continue to use reasonable efforts to transfer its rights and obligations to an acceptable third party; provided, however, that Party A’s obligations to find a transferee and to post Eligible Collateral under such Credit Support Annex shall remain in effect only for so long as a Ratings Event is continuing with respect to Party A.

For the purpose of this Part 1(i), a “Ratings Event” shall occur with respect to Party A (i) if the long-term and short-term senior unsecured deposit ratings of Party A cease to be at least A and A-1 by S&P or at least A and F-1 by Fitch Ratings or any successor thereto (“Fitch”) or (ii) with respect to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any successor thereto (“Moody’s”), (A) if Party A has both a long term and short term unsecured senior deposit rating by Moody’s and either rating is withdrawn or downgraded below A1 or P-1, respectively, or (B) if Party A has only a long term unsecured senior deposit rating and such rating is withdrawn or downgraded by Moody’s below Aa3.  “Rating Agency Condition” has the meaning specified in the Indenture defined in Part 1 of this Schedule.  For the purpose of this Part 1(i), “Notional Volatility Buffer” shall mean (i) 3.25% if the Affected Transaction has a maturity of up to 5 years, (ii) 4.00% if the Affected Transaction has a maturity greater than 5 years up to 10 years, and (iii) 4.75% if the Affected Transaction has a maturity of greater than 10 years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants, the failure by Party A to post Eligible Collateral in accordance herewith or to use reasonable efforts to transfer its rights and obligations hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event under the Agreement.  In addition, if Party A’s long-term senior unsecured deposit rating by S&P ceases to be at least ‘BBB-’ then Party A must, within ten (10) Business Days, transfer this Agreement (while collateralizing any Exposure to Party B) and the Transaction, at Party A’s own expense, to a counterparty that satisfies the Rating Agency Condition, to whom all of Party A’s interests and obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned at no cost to Party B, and following which Party A shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement.  Party A’s failure to comply with this provision shall be an Additional Termination Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party.
