(e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the other Basic Documents, and the fulfillment of the terms thereof shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the Titling Trust Agreement, or any indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Titling Trust is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument (other than this Agreement or any other Basic Document), or violate any law or, to NFC’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Titling Trust of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Titling Trust or any of its properties.

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 (except that NFC’s knowledge with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01(bb) hereof shall be disregarded for purposes of NFC’s repurchase obligations pursuant this Section 5.04) or (ii) a breach by NFC of Section 5.03 hereof with respect to any Designated Receivable, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate which breach has a material adverse effect on NFRRC’s interest in such Designated Receivable, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate (each a “Repurchase Event”) unless, in either case, such breach shall have been cured in all material respects 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 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate, such Designated Retail Leases which are then included in the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or Series 2006-ARC 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.
SECTION 5.06 Further Assignments. NFC acknowledges that NFRRC shall, pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, sell the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest, the Series 2006-ARC 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 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest, the Series 2006-ARC 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.

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.
- 17 -
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 2006-ARC 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 2006-ARC 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 Portfolio Interest other than the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest (other than Claims to other Portfolio Interests obtained under other purchase agreements) whether then or thereafter created.
