(g) all guaranties, letters of credit and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Designated Receivable whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Designated Receivable or otherwise (other than the International Purchase Obligations);
(h) all Records and Receivable Files relating to such Designated Receivables;
(i) all of NFC’s right, title and interest in the Designated Accounts and the Designated Account Property; and

SECTION 2.02. Purchase Price. In consideration for the purchase of the Designated Receivables and the Related Security, NFRRC shall, on the Closing Date, pay to NFC an amount equal to the Initial Aggregate Receivables Balance for such Designated Receivables (the “Purchase Price”) and NFC shall execute and deliver to NFRRC an Assignment with respect to such Designated Receivables and Related Security. On the Closing Date, a portion of the Purchase Price payable on such date equal to approximately $383,977,192.30 shall be paid to NFC in immediately available funds, and the balance of the Purchase Price shall be recorded as an advance from NFC to NFRRC under the Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation Revolving Note dated as of December 16, 1991.
SECTION 2.03. The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Designated Receivables shall take place at such a place, on a date and at a time mutually agreeable to NFC and NFRRC, and may occur simultaneously with the closing of any related transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Custodian Agreement (collectively, the “Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements”).
SECTION 2.04. Payments and Default Fee. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 2.05. Transfer of Records.
(a) NFC hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to NFRRC all of NFC’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to the Designated Receivables, without the need for any further documentation in connection therewith. In connection with such transfer, NFC hereby grants to each of NFRRC, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable,
3
non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by NFC to account for the Designated Receivables to the extent necessary to administer the Designated Receivables, whether such software is owned by NFC or is owned by others and used by NFC under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein to be effective, (i) the grant is limited to the extent that such consent has been obtained and (ii) NFC hereby agrees that upon the request of NFRRC (or NFRRC’s assignee), NFC will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
(b) NFC shall take such action requested by NFRRC and/or the Agent (as NFRRC’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that NFRRC and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Designated Receivables.
SECTION 2.06. Intended Characterization.
(a) Except for the obligation of NFC to repurchase Designated Receivables in the event of a Repurchase Event, the sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to Originator; provided, however, that NFC shall be liable to NFRRC for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by NFC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which NFC is a party.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the purchase of the Designated Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides NFRRC with the full benefits of ownership of the Designated Receivables. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the conveyance by NFC to NFRRC of the Designated Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Designated Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, NFC hereby grants to NFRRC a duly perfected security interest in all of NFC’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Designated Receivables and Related Security with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to the Designated Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Designated Receivables together with all other obligations of NFC hereunder. In such event, NFRRC and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law and in equity, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties as to Receivables. NFC makes the following representations and warranties as to the Designated Receivables on which NFRRC relies in accepting such Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date (or, if such representation and warranty expressly specifies another date, then as of such other date), and as of the related transfer of such Designated Receivables under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of such Designated Receivables to NFRRC and the subsequent assignment and transfer thereof pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements:

(i) was originated by NFC to finance a retail purchase by a retail customer or a refinancing of a Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles by a retail customer and was fully and properly executed by the parties thereto;

5
principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivable Balances. “Level Principal Balloon Receivables” are Receivables that provide for monthly payments consisting of level principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Receivable Balances, except that a larger principal payment becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables. “Other Receivables” are Receivables not described above, including Receivables that provide for level monthly payments in eleven or fewer months of each twelve-month period that amortize a portion of the amount financed over its original term to maturity with a larger payment that becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables.
(b) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all material respects;
(c) Compliance With Law. All requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation “B”, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, and any applicable bulk sales or bulk transfer law and other equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in respect of any of the Designated Receivables, have been complied with in all material respects, and each such Designated Receivable and the sale of the Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made;
(d) Binding Obligation.

(e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto, each Designated Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or, in the event any such Receivable was secured by more than one Financed Vehicle, in each related Financed Vehicle, each in favor of NFC as secured party, or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that will result, within 100 days following the Cutoff Date, in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in each related Financed Vehicle in favor of NFC as secured party in each case (except for first priority security interests which may exist in any accessions to Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC);

There has been no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Designated Receivable, and no event has occurred and is continuing that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Designated Receivable, and NFC has not waived any of the foregoing, in each case except for payments on any Designated Receivables which are not more than 60 days past due (measured from the date of any Scheduled Payment) as of the Cutoff Date;
(l) Insurance. Each Obligor on a Designated Receivable is required to maintain a physical damage insurance policy for each Financed Vehicle of the type that NFC requires in accordance with its customary underwriting standards for the purchase of medium and heavy duty truck, bus and trailer receivables, unless NFC has in accordance with its customary procedures permitted an Obligor to self-insure such Financed Vehicle;

(b) Name Change. NFC shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by NFC in accordance with Section 5.02(a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506(b) of the UCC, unless it shall have given NFRRC at least 60 days prior written notice thereof and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of NFRRC’s security interest in the Designated Receivables and the Related Security.
(c) Jurisdiction of Organization; Maintenance of Offices.

(f) the commingling of Collections of Designated Receivables at any time with other funds;
(g) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the sale of Designated Receivables, the ownership of the Designated Receivables or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to NFC in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(h) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Designated Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;
(i) any failure of NFC to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Designated Receivable and the Related Security free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action (other than as a result of the actions or inactions of NFRRC or a Subsequent Transferee);
