REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties as to the
Receivables. NFC makes the following representations and
warranties as to the Receivables on which NFRRC relies in
accepting the Receivables. Such representations and warranties
speak as of the date hereof, as of the Closing and as of the
closing under the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, and
shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the
Receivables to NFRRC and the subsequent assignment and transfer
pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements:
(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable:
(i) was originated by (A) a Dealer for the retail sale
of one or more Financed Vehicles in the ordinary course of
such Dealer's business, was fully and properly executed by
the parties thereto, was purchased by NFC from such Dealer
under an existing agreement with NFC and was validly
assigned by such Dealer to NFC in accordance with its terms,
(B) a Distributor for the retail sale of one or more
Financed Vehicles in the ordinary course of such
Distributor's business, and was fully and properly executed
by the parties thereto, was purchased by NFC from such
Distributor under an existing agreement with NFC and was
validly assigned by such Distributor to NFC in accordance
with its terms, or (C) 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;
(ii) has created or shall create a valid, binding and
enforceable first priority security interest in favor of NFC
in each Financed Vehicle related thereto, which security
interest will be validly assigned by NFC to NFRRC and will
be assignable by NFRRC to a subsequent purchaser;
(iii) contains customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for realization against the collateral of
the benefits of the security;
(iv) shall yield interest at the Annual Percentage
Rate; and
(v) comes from one of the following categories, which
differ in their provisions for the payment of principal and
interest: Equal Payment Fully Amortizing Receivables, Equal
Payment Skip Receivables, Equal Payment Balloon Receivables,
Level Principal Fully Amortizing Receivables, Level
Principal Skip Receivables, Level Principal Balloon
Receivables, or Other Receivables. "Equal Payment Fully
Amortizing Receivables" are
Receivables that provide for equal monthly payments that
fully amortize the amount financed over its original term to
maturity. "Equal Payment Skip Receivables" are Receivables
that provide for equal monthly payments in eleven or fewer
months of each twelve-month period that fully amortize the
amount financed over its original term to maturity. "Equal
Payment Balloon Receivables" are Receivables that provide
for equal monthly payments except that a larger payment
becomes due on the final maturity date for such Receivables.
"Level Principal Fully Amortizing Receivables" are
Receivables that provide for monthly payments consisting of
level principal amounts together with accrued and unpaid
interest on the unpaid Receivable Balances. "Level
Principal Skip Receivables" are Receivables that provide for
monthly payments in eleven or fewer months of each
twelve-month period consisting of level 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 Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief
Act of 1940, and any applicable bulk sales or bulk transfer law
and other equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in
respect of any of the Receivables, have been complied with in all
material respects, and each 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. Each Receivable represents the
genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing
of the Obligor thereon, enforceable against the Obligor by the
holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of 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. Immediately
prior to the sale, transfer and assignment thereof pursuant
hereto, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first
priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle or, in the
event a Receivable was secured by more than one Financed Vehicle,
in each 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 Financed Vehicle in
favor of NFC as secured party (in each case except for first
priority security interests which may exist in any accessions not
financed by NFC);
(f) Receivables In Force. No Receivable has been
satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and no Financed Vehicle
securing any Receivable has been released from the Lien of the
related Receivable in whole or in part;
(g) No Waiver. Since the Cutoff Date, no provision of a
Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect;
(h) No Amendments. Since the Cutoff Date, no Receivable
has been amended or otherwise modified such that the total number
of the Obligor's Scheduled Payments is increased or the Initial
Receivable Balance is increased;
(i) No Defenses. No right of rescission, setoff,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened with
respect to any Receivable;
(j) No Liens. There are, to NFC's knowledge, no Liens or
claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials
affecting any Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable that are
or may be prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security
interest in each Financed Vehicle granted by the Receivable
(except for Liens or claims which may exist in any accessions to
the Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC);
(k) No Default. There has been no default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any
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
Receivable, and NFC has not waived any of the foregoing, in each
case except for payments on any 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 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;
(m) Good Title. No Receivable has been sold, transferred,
assigned or pledged by NFC to any Person other than NFRRC;
immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant
to this Agreement, NFC had good and marketable title thereto,
free of any Lien (except for any Lien which may exist in
accessions to the Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC); and,
upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by NFC, NFRRC shall
have all of the right, title
and interest of NFC in and to the Purchased Property, free of any
Lien (except for any Lien which may exist in accessions to the
Financed Vehicles not financed by NFC);
(n) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable was originated in, or
is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which
would make unlawful the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Receivable under this Agreement or any Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements;
(o) All Filings Made. All filings necessary under the UCC
in any jurisdiction to give NFRRC a first priority perfected
security or ownership interest in the Purchased Property (to the
extent it constitutes Code Collateral) shall have been made, and
the Receivables constitute Code Collateral;
(p) One Original. There is only one original executed copy
of each Receivable;
(q) No Documents or Instruments. No Receivable, or
constituent part thereof, constitutes a "negotiable instrument"
or "negotiable document of title" (as such terms are used in the
UCC);
(r) Maturity of Receivables. Each Receivable has an
original term to maturity of not less than 12 months and not
greater than 84 months and a remaining term to maturity of not
less than 12 months;
(s) Annual Percentage Rate. The Annual Percentage Rate of
each Receivable is not less than [6.50]%;
(t) Scheduled Payments; Delinquency. As of the Cutoff

was due no later than March 31, 1999, and no Receivable had a
payment that was more than 60 days past due as of the Cutoff
Date; and as of the Closing Date, no Receivable will have a final
scheduled payment that is due later than September 30, 1999;
(u) Vehicles. Each Financed Vehicle was a new or used
medium or heavy duty truck, bus or trailer at the time the
related Obligor executed the Retail Note;
(v) Origin. Each Receivable was originated in the United
States;
(w) Beginning Receivable Balance. The Receivable Balance
of each Receivable as of the Cutoff Date shall be $1,000 or more;
(x) Concentration. The aggregate Initial Receivables
Balance of all Receivables from a single Obligor shall not be
more than 2% of the Initial Aggregate Receivables Balance;
(y) Selection Criteria. The Receivables included in the
Schedule of Receivables were selected on a random basis from all
Retail Notes satisfying the selection criteria described herein,
and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to NFRRC or to
holders of the Securities issued under the Further Transfer and
Servicing Agreements were utilized in selecting the Receivables
from those Retail Notes of NFC which meet the selection criteria
under this Agreement; and
(z) No Government Contracts. No Obligor under any of the
Receivables is a governmental authority of the United States or
any state or political subdivision thereof.

ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
NFC agrees with NFRRC as follows:
SECTION 5.01 Conflicts With Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements. To 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 execute and file such financing
statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation
and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as
may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect

(c) Executive Office; Maintenance of Offices. NFC shall
give NFRRC at least 60 days prior written notice of any
relocation of its principal executive office if, as a result of
such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would
require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed
financing or continuation statement or of any new financing
statement. NFC shall at all times maintain each office from
which it services Receivables and its principal executive office
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 Purchased Property to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except any
Lien which may exist in accessions to the Financed Vehicles not
financed by NFC) on any interest therein, and NFC shall defend
the right,
title and interest of NFRRC in, to and under the Receivables
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
NFC.
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 Issuer 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 a breach of any of NFC's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 hereof
with respect to any Receivable (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), unless such breach shall have
been cured in all material respects, NFC will repurchase such
Receivable from the Issuer (if the Issuer is then the Owner of
such 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 Receivable for which NFRRC is the Owner, NFC agrees
to repurchase such Receivable from NFRRC for an amount and upon
the same terms as NFC would be obligated to repurchase such
Receivable from the Issuer if the Issuer was then the Owner
thereof, and upon payment of such amount, NFC shall have such
rights with respect to such Receivable as if NFC had purchased
such Receivable from the Issuer as the Owner thereof. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of NFC to repurchase
any 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 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 may, pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing
Agreements, sell the Receivables to the Issuer and assign its
rights hereunder to the Issuer, subject to the terms and
