creditors' rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. In the case of a Retail Note,
immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant hereto,

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

-6-

such Financed Vehicle.

the extent that any provision of Sections 5.02 through 5.04 of this Agreement
conflicts with any provision of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements,
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements shall govern.
SECTION 5.02 Protection of Title.
(a) Filings. NFC shall prepare and file such financing statements and
cause to be prepared and filed such continuation and other statements, all in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve,

that, with respect to a Retail Lease, NFC shall not be obligated to transfer the

NFRRC file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

perfection of NFRRC's security interest in the Designated Receivables and the
Related Security.
(c) Jurisdiction of Formation; Maintenance of Offices. NFC shall give
NFRRC at least 60 days prior written notice of any change in its jurisdiction of
formation and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be

-15-
NFC shall at all times maintain each office from which it services Designated
Receivables and its jurisdiction of formation within the United States of
America.
SECTION 5.03 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder
and as contemplated by the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, NFC shall
not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Designated Receivables and the Related
Security, the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest or the Series 2003-B Portfolio
Certificate to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Lien (except any Permitted Lien) on any interest therein, and NFC
shall defend the right, title and interest of NFRRC in, to and under the
Designated Receivables and Related Security, the Series 2003-B Portfolio
Interest and the Series 2003-B Portfolio Certificate against all claims of third

SECTION 5.04 Repurchase Events. By its execution of the Further Transfer
and Servicing Agreements to which it is a party, NFC shall be deemed to
acknowledge the assignment by NFRRC of such of its right, title and interest in,
to and under this Agreement to the Subsequent Transferee as shall be provided in
the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. NFC hereby covenants and agrees
with NFRRC for the benefit of NFRRC and the Interested Parties, that in the
event of (i) a breach of any of NFC's representations and warranties contained
in Section 3.01 hereof with respect to any Designated Receivable or (ii) a
breach by NFC of Section 5.03 hereof with respect to any Designated Receivable,
the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest or the Series 2003-B Portfolio Certificate
which breach has a material adverse effect on NFRRC's interest in such
Designated Receivable, the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest or the Series 2003-B
Portfolio Certificate unless, in either case, such breach shall have been cured
in all material respects (each a "Repurchase Event") as of the second Accounting
Date following NFC's discovery or its receipt of notice of breach (or, at NFC's
election, the first Accounting Date following such discovery), NFC will
repurchase the Designated Receivable (or in the case of the Series 2003-B
Portfolio Interest or Series 2003-B Portfolio Certificate, such Designated
Retail Leases which are then included in the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest or
Series 2003-B Portfolio Certificate) from the Subsequent Transferee (if the
Subsequent Transferee is then the Owner of such Designated Receivable) on the
related Distribution Date for an amount equal to the Warranty Payment, without
further notice from NFRRC hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event
with respect to a Designated Receivable for which NFRRC is the Owner, NFC agrees
to repurchase such Designated Receivable from NFRRC for an amount and upon the
same terms as NFC would be obligated to repurchase such Designated Receivable
from the Subsequent Transferee if the Subsequent Transferee was then the Owner
thereof, and upon payment of such amount, NFC shall have such rights with
respect to such Designated Receivable as if NFC had purchased such Designated
Receivable from the Subsequent Transferee as the Owner thereof. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of NFC to repurchase any Designated Receivable as
to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is
fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against NFC for such breach available to
NFRRC or any Interested Party.
SECTION 5.05 Indemnification. NFC shall indemnify NFRRC for any liability
as a result of the failure of a Designated Receivable to be originated in
compliance with all requirements of law and for any breach of any of its
representations and warranties contained herein. This indemnity obligation shall
be in addition to any obligation that NFC may otherwise have.
-16-
SECTION 5.06 Further Assignments. NFC acknowledges that NFRRC shall,
pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, sell the Series
2003-B Portfolio Interest, the Series 2003-B Portfolio Certificate, the
Designated Receivables and the Related Security to the Subsequent Transferee and
assign its rights hereunder to the Subsequent Transferee, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and that the
Subsequent Transferee may in turn further pledge, assign or transfer its rights
in the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest, the Series 2003-B Portfolio
Certificate, the Designated Receivables and the Related Security and this
Agreement. NFC further acknowledges that NFRRC may assign its rights under the
Servicing Agreement to the Subsequent Transferee.

Purchase Date, NFC shall transfer to the account or accounts designated by NFRRC
(or by the Subsequent Transferee under the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements) all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the
Designated Receivables and the Related Security conveyed by NFC to NFRRC on such
Purchase Date pursuant to Section 2.01.
SECTION 5.08 Limitation on Transfer of International Purchase Obligations.
NFRRC acknowledges and agrees that the rights pursuant to the International
Purchase Obligations are personal to NFC, and only the proceeds of such rights
have been assigned to NFRRC. NFRRC is not and is not intended to be a
third-party beneficiary of such rights and, accordingly, such rights will not be
exercisable by, enforceable by or for the benefit of, or preserved for the
benefit of, NFRRC, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.
SECTION 5.09 Sale Treatment. NFC intends to treat each transfer and
assignment described herein as a sale for accounting and tax purposes.
SECTION 5.10 No Petition; Waiver of Claims.
(a) Notwithstanding any prior termination of the Series 2003-B
Portfolio Supplement, NFRRC covenants and agrees that it shall not, prior to the
date which is one year and a day after which all obligations under each
Permitted Financing have been paid in full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise
invoke, or join any other Person in acquiescing, petitioning or otherwise
invoking, against the Titling Trust or any Special Purpose Entity, any
proceeding in court or with any governmental authority for the purpose of (i)
commencing or sustaining a case against the Titling Trust or such Special
Purpose Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law,
or (ii) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of all or any substantial part of the
respective property of the Titling Trust or such Special Purpose Entity, or
(iii) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Titling Trust
or such Special Purpose Entity.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Titling Trust Agreement, NFRRC
hereby releases all Claims to the Titling Trust Assets allocated to the General
Interest and to each Portfolio Interest other than the Series 2003-B Portfolio
Interest (other than Claims to other Portfolio Interests obtained under other
purchase agreements) whether then or thereafter created and, in the event that
such release is not given effect, to fully subordinate all Claims it may be
deemed to have against the Titling Trust Assets allocated to the General
Interest and each
-17-
Portfolio Interest other than the Series 2003-B Portfolio Interest (other than
Claims to other Portfolio Interests obtained under other purchase agreements)
whether then or thereafter created.
