(iii)          (1) the Servicer determines that the funds to be allocated to the Series 2005-1 Notes, including (x) the Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amount and Series 2005-1 Available Principal Amounts and (y) amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account, may not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make payments on the Series 2005-1 Notes as those payments would have become due if the obligations had not been declared due and payable and (2) Series 2005-1 Noteholders evidencing at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount have notified the Indenture Trustee in writing that they desire to cause the Issuer to sell Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables in respect of their Series 2005-1 Notes.

 

If any of the conditions as provided in the preceding paragraph are met, the Issuer will sell Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables (or interests therein)  on behalf of all Series 2005-1 Noteholders, whether or not they have actually requested that the Issuer sell Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount not exceeding the Series 2005-1 Security Amount and the proceeds of that sale, but only up to the Collateral Amount will be available to pay the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount plus any past due interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes; provided, that the selection procedure used to determine which Principal Receivables are to be sold shall not be materially adverse to any other Series.  The proceeds of such sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Indenture, and proceeds distributable to the Series
2005-1 Noteholders shall be distributed in the priorities set forth in Section 3.09(a) and 3.10(a), on the related Payment Date.  The Series 2005-1 Noteholders shall maintain their rights in their Series 2005-1 Notes until such Noteholders present their Series 2005-1 Notes to the Issuer in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Indenture.

 

(b)           If the Collateral Amount is greater than zero on the Legal Final Maturity Date (after giving effect to deposits and distributions otherwise to be made on the Legal Final Maturity Date), the Issuer will sell Principal Receivables and the related Non-Principal Receivables on the Legal Final Maturity Date in an amount not exceeding the Series 2005-1 Security Amount and the proceeds of that sale, but only up to the Collateral Amount will be available to pay the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount plus any past due interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes.

 

(c)           Sales proceeds received with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes pursuant to clause (b) above, but only in an amount up to the Collateral Amount, will be allocated in the following priority:

 

(i)            first, to be deposited in the Principal Funding Account, an amount up to the Collateral Amount of the Series 2005-1 Notes immediately before giving effect to such deposit, for payment, first, to the Class A Noteholders on the related Payment Date until the Class A Note Principal Balance has been paid in full and, second, to the Class B Noteholders on the related Payment Date until the Class B Note Principal Balance has been paid in full; and

 

(ii)           second, to be deposited in the Interest Funding Account, the balance of such sales proceeds.

 

22



 

(d)           Any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Funding Account after a sale of Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.14 and the final payment of the Series 2005-1 Notes pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Indenture, will be treated as part of the Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amount.

 

Section 3.15           Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR.

 

(a)           The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Series 2005-1 Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to 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 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 (or, solely for purposes of determining LIBOR for the first Interest Period as described in the following paragraph, a two-month period) 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 (or, solely for purposes of determining LIBOR for the first Interest Period as described in the following paragraph, a two-month period) 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 immediately preceding that Interest Period.

 

With respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes, LIBOR for the first Interest Period will be determined by straight-line interpolation, based on the actual number of days in the period from the Series 2005-1 Closing Date through and including August 14, 2005, between two rates determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph, one of which will be determined for a maturity of one month and one of which will be determined for a maturity of two months.

 

23



 

(c)           The Class A Rate and Class B Rate applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at ###-###-#### or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture Trustee to each Series 2005-1 Noteholder from time to time.

 

(d)           On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall send to the Indenture Trustee, by facsimile transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.

 

Section 3.16           Excess Available Interest Amount Sharing.

 

(a)           The Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to Series 2005-1 on any Payment Date shall be treated as part of the Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amount for such Payment Date.

 

(b)           The Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to Series 2005-1 with respect to any Payment Date means an amount equal to the Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amount Shortfall, if any, for such Payment Date; provided, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Interest Amount for all Series for such Payment Date is less than the Aggregate Series Available Interest Amount Shortfall for such Payment Date, then the Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to Series 2005-1 on such Payment Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Interest Amount for all Series and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Interest Amount Shortfall with respect to Series 2005-1 for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Aggregate Series Available Interest Amount Shortfall for all Series for such Payment Date.

 

(c)           Any Shared Excess Available Interest Amount that are not required to be applied to make a payment or deposit in respect of a Series shall be paid to the Transferor.

 

Section 3.17           Excess Available Principal Amount Sharing.

 

(a)           The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to Series 2005-1 on any Payment Date shall be treated as Series 2005-1 Available Principal Amounts for such Payment Date.

 

(b)           The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to Series 2005-1 with respect to any Payment Date means an amount equal to the Series Available Principal Amount Shortfall (but not to cover charge-offs, uncovered dilution amounts or amounts initially required to be covered by interest collections), if any, with respect to Series 2005-1 for such Payment Date; provided, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Principal Amounts for all Series for such Payment Date is less than the Aggregate Series Available Principal Amounts Shortfall (but not to cover charge-offs, uncovered dilution amounts or amounts initially required to be covered by interest collections) for such Payment Date, then Shared Excess Available Principal Amounts allocable to Series 2005-1 on such Payment Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Principal Amounts for all Series and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Principal Amounts Shortfall (but not to cover
charge-offs, uncovered dilution amounts or amounts initially required to be covered by

 

24



 

interest collections) with respect to Series 2005-1 for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Aggregate Series Available Principal Amounts Shortfall for all Series (but not to cover charge-offs, uncovered dilution amounts or amounts initially required to be covered by interest collections) for such Payment Date.

 

(c)           Any Shared Excess Available Principal Amounts not required to be applied to make a payment or deposit in respect of a Series shall be deposited into the Excess Funding Account to the extent that the Adjusted Pool Balance is less than the Required Pool Balance or the Transferor Amount is less than the Trust Available Subordinated Amount and any amount remaining thereafter paid to the Transferor.

 

Section 3.18           Computation of Interest.

 

(a)           Interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period.

 

(b)           Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture Supplement, interest for any period will be calculated from and including the first day of such period to but excluding the last day of such period.

 

Section 3.19           Variable Accumulation Period.

 

The Servicer may elect, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, to delay, from time to time, the commencement of the Accumulation Period, and extend the length of the Revolving Period, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.19; provided, that the Accumulation Period shall commence no later than the first day of the Collection Period ending immediately prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date. Any such election by the Servicer shall be made not later than the first day of the last scheduled Collection Period of the Revolving Period (including any prior shortening and/or extension of the Revolving Period pursuant to this Section 3.19).  The Issuer or the Servicer may make such election only if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            the Servicer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Servicer reasonably believes that the delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period would not result in the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount not being paid in full on the Scheduled Final Payment Date;

 

(ii)           the Rating Agencies shall have advised the Issuer that such election to delay the commencement of the Accumulation Period would not cause the rating of any class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn; and

 

(iii)          the amount to be deposited in the Principal Funding Account in respect of Controlled Accumulation Amount shall have been adjusted.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, the Administrator may, on behalf of the Issuer, (i) perform all such calculations as are necessary to determine whether the

 

25



 

Accumulation Period may be delayed pursuant to this Section 3.19 and (ii) elect to delay the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 3.19.

 

In addition, the Servicer may, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, elect to accelerate the start of the Accumulation Period and thereby shorten the Revolving Period, if the Servicer believes that doing so would be appropriate due to the payment rate on the Receivables and/or other factors.

 

Section 3.20           Payment Instructions and Monthly Noteholders’ Report.  Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or herein to the contrary, the Issuer may amend the form of Payment Instruction for the Series 2005-1 Notes and the Series 2005-1 Schedule to Monthly Noteholders’ Statement from time to time without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder with evidence that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect thereto.

 

Section 3.21           Limited Recourse.  The obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by the Issuer in connection herewith or therewith are solely the obligations of the Issuer as a trust and the obligations of the Issuer to pay any amounts hereunder or thereunder (including under any of the Transaction Documents) shall be limited solely to the application of amounts available pursuant to this Indenture Supplement.  The obligations of the Transferor under this Indenture Supplement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by the Transferor in connection herewith or therewith are solely the obligations of the Transferor and the obligations of the Transferor to pay any amounts hereunder or thereunder (including under any of the Transaction Documents)  shall be limited solely to the application of amounts available pursuant to this Indenture Supplement.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any fee or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Indenture Supplement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by the Issuer or the Transferor in connection herewith or therewith (including any of the Transaction Documents) against any holder of a Trust Certificate, employee, officer, director, incorporator, agent or trustee of the Issuer or the Transferor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or the Transferor.

 

Section 3.22           Prefunding.  Up to $100,000,000 of the proceeds from the issuance of Series 2005-1 may be deposited into the Excess Funding Account as a form of prefunding. If any proceeds are deposited into the Excess Funding Account, then at all times during the prefunding period, a portion of the balance on deposit in the Excess Funding Account will be deemed to constitute a prefunding balance. That portion will initially equal the amount of proceeds deposited. Each time that the balance on deposit in the Excess Funding Account falls below the prefunding balance, the prefunding balance will be deemed to decrease by an amount equal to the decline in the balance in the Excess Funding Account until the prefunding balance reaches zero.  Subsequent increases in the Excess Funding Account balance will not increase the prefunding balance. If the prefunding balance is not reduced to zero by September 1, 2005, then the remaining prefunding balance (to the extent not allocated to make principal payments on any other outstanding Series in accordance with the ordinary terms of the Excess Funding Account) will be applied to make principal payments on the Outstanding Series 2005-1 Notes, pro rata, on

 

26



 

September 15, 2005.  Any such proceeds applied to make principal payments on Series 2005-1 will be applied pro rata to the then Outstanding Class A Notes and Class B Notes.

EARLY AMORTIZATION OF NOTES

 

Section 4.01           Early Amortization Events.  In addition to the events identified as Early Amortization Events in Section 12.01 of the Indenture, each of the following events will also be an Early Amortization Event with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes:

 

(1)           failure on the part of the Transferor, the Servicer or the Originator, as applicable, (i) to make any payment or deposit (including any Transfer Deposit Amount or Adjustment Payment and any other required payments to the Excess Funding Account) required by the terms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement on or before the date occurring two Business Days after the date such payment or deposit is required to be made therein, or (ii) with respect to any Series, to deliver a Payment Date Statement within five Business Days of the day such item is due to be delivered under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, or (iii) to comply with its agreement not to create any Lien on a Receivable, or (iv) to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or agreements set forth in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which failure in the case of this clause (iv) continues 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 to the Transferor by the Indenture Trustee or any Enhancement Provider;

 

(2)           any representation or warranty made by the Originator in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or by the Transferor in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or any information contained in a computer file or microfiche or written list required to be delivered by the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.05, 2.07 or 2.08 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, (i) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered, and shall continue to be incorrect in any material respect 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 to the Transferor by the Indenture Trustee and (ii) as a result of such incorrectness the interests of the Noteholders are materially and adversely affected throughout the 60 day period; provided, that an Early Amortization Event shall not be deemed to have occurred under this paragraph if the Transferor has repurchased the related Receivable or all such Receivables, if applicable, during such

 

27



 

period in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement;

 

(3)                                  the occurrence of an Insolvency Event relating to CNH Global N.V., CNH America LLC, the Transferor or the Originator;

 

(4)                                  a failure by the Transferor to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the Issuer within five Business Days after the day on which it is required to convey such Receivables pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement;

 

(5)                                  on any Payment Date, the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount for such Payment Date is reduced to an amount less than the Series 2005-1 Required Subordinated Amount (as calculated without giving effect to any reductions or reinstatements, except for reductions due to deposits to the Principal Funding Account) on that Payment Date after giving effect to the distributions to be made on such Payment Date; provided, that, for the purpose of determining whether an Early Amortization Event has occurred pursuant to this clause (5), any reduction of the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount resulting from reallocations of the Series 2005-1 Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes in the event LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate upon which interest on the Receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date will be considered an Early Amortization Event only if LIBOR remains equal to or greater than such prime rate for the next 30 consecutive days following such LIBOR Determination Date;

 

(6)                                  any Servicer Default occurs;

 

(7)                                  on any Determination Date, the average of the Monthly Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods is less than 14.00%;

28



 

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, in the case of any event described in clause (1), (2) or (6) above, a Series 2005-1 Early Amortization Event will be deemed to have occurred only if, after the applicable grace period described in such clause, if any, either the Indenture Trustee or Series 2005-1 Noteholders holding Series 2005-1 Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount by written notice to the Transferor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, if given by Series 2005-1 Noteholders, declare that a Series 2005-1 Early Amortization Event has occurred as of the date of that notice.  In the case of any Early Amortization Event described in Section 12.01(a) or (b) of the Indenture or any event described in clause (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10) or (11) above, a Series 2005-1 Early Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred without any notice or other action on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2005-1 Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, if (x) an Early Amortization Period results from the failure by the Transferor to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the Issuer, as described in clause (4) above during the Revolving Period, (y) 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 Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect thereto, then the Early Amortization Period resulting from such failure will terminate and the Revolving 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 a confirmation that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such recommencement.  If the Indenture Trustee receives such confirmation and the Series 2005-1 Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount consent to the recommencement of the Revolving Period, the related Early Amortization Period shall terminate and the Revolving Period shall recommence; provided that no other Early Amortization Event that has not been cured or waived has occurred.

 

ARTICLE V

 

ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

 

Section 5.01           Accounts.

 

(a)           Accounts; Deposits to and Distributions from Accounts.  On or before the Issuance Date, the Indenture Trustee will cause to be established and maintained the Qualified Accounts denominated as follows: the “Interest Funding Account”, the “Principal Funding Account” and the “Reserve Fund” (collectively, the “Series 2005-1 Accounts”) in the name of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Noteholders.  The Series 2005-1 Accounts constitute

 

29



 

Supplemental Accounts and shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Noteholders.  If, at any time, the institution holding any Series 2005-1 Account ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Issuer will within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new applicable Series 2005-1 Account, that is a Qualified Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments to such new Series 2005-1 Account.  From the date such new Series 2005-1 Account is established, it will be a Series 2005-1 Account, bearing the name of the Series 2005-1 Account it has replaced.

 

(b)           Timing of Payments; Reserve Fund.  All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Series 2005-1 Noteholders out of funds in the Series 2005-1 Accounts pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Indenture Trustee to the Paying Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the applicable Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date but only to the extent of funds in the applicable Account or as otherwise provided in Article III.  Any amounts that are on deposit in the Reserve Fund after the earlier of the payment in full of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and the Legal Final Maturity Date shall be distributed to the Transferor.   On the Series 2005-1 Closing Date, the Issuer will make a deposit into the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to $15,000,000.

 

(c)           Application of Amounts in Reserve Fund.  (A) If Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amounts are not sufficient to make the entire distributions required by Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b), 3.01(c) or 3.01(d) above, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw funds from the Reserve Fund and apply those funds to complete such distributions to the Servicer or to the Class A Noteholders and Class B Noteholders pursuant to Section 3.09(a).  (B) In addition, if Series 2005-1 is in an Early Amortization Period and if the Series 2005-1 Available Interest Amounts are not sufficient to make the entire distributions required by Section 3.01(e) above, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw funds from the Reserve Fund and apply those funds to complete the distributions under that clause.

INDENTURE AND INDENTURE SUPPLEMENTS

The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables, shall collect payments due under the Receivables and shall charge-off as uncollectible Receivables, all in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing wholesale receivables comparable to the Receivables which the Servicer services for its own account and in accordance with the Floorplan Financing Guidelines.  The Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 6.01, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered, unless such power and authority is revoked by the Indenture Trustee on account of the occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 6.01, (i) to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and any Series Account as set forth in the Payment Date Statement, (ii) to instruct the Indenture Trustee to take any action required or permitted under any Enhancement as set forth in the Payment Date Statement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders and any Enhancement Provider, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and
