ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.1. Representations and Warranties as to Receivables.
NFC makes the following representations and warranties as to the
Receivables on which NFRRC relies in accepting such Receivables. Such
representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, and as of
the related transfer of such Receivables under the Transfer and
Administration Agreement, and shall survive the sale, transfer and
assignment of the Receivables to NFRRC and the subsequent assignment and
transfer thereof pursuant to the Transfer and Administration Agreement
and the PARCO Asset Purchase Agreement:
(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable:
(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;
(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
-3-
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 such 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;
-4-
(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 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 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 any
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 thereof 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 on a 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
-5-
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 any 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 and
the related Assignment by NFC, and satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 4.2 hereof relating to such Receivables, NFRRC shall
have all of the right, title and interest of NFC in and to the
Receivables and the Related Security, 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 of the other Program Documents to which NFC or NFRRC is
a party;
(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 Receivables and the Related Security (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, as of the Cutoff Date, had a remaining term to maturity of not less
than 12 months and not greater than 73 months;
(s) Annual Percentage Rate. The Annual Percentage Rate of each

October 31, 1998; as of the Cutoff Date, no Receivable had a payment
that was more than 60 days past due; as of the Closing Date, no
Receivable had a final scheduled payment that is due later than October
31, 2004;
-6-
(u) Vehicles. Each Financed Vehicle to which a Receivable relates
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 Initial Receivable Balance
of each Receivable 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 2.00% of
the Initial Aggregate Receivables Balance;
(y) Selection Criteria. The 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 the Owners 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.

Documents 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 Owners as shall be provided in the Program
Documents. NFC hereby covenants and agrees with NFRRC for the benefit
of NFRRC and the Owners, 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
-12-
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 Owners 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 owned by NFRRC, 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
Owners if such Receivable was owned by the Owners, 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 Owners. 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, except for Section 5.5, constitute the
sole remedy against NFC for such breach available to NFRRC or any Owner.
SECTION 5.5. 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 5.6. Further Assignments. NFC acknowledges that NFRRC
shall, pursuant to the Transfer and Administration Agreement, sell
Receivables to the Purchaser and assign its rights hereunder to the
Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of the Transfer and
Administration Agreement, and that the Purchaser may in turn further
pledge, assign or transfer its rights in the Receivables and this
Agreement pursuant to the PARCO Asset Purchase Agreement. NFC further
acknowledges that NFRRC may assign its rights under the Custodian
Agreement to the Purchaser.
SECTION 5.7. Pre-Closing Collections. Within two Business Days
after the Closing Date, NFC shall transfer to the account or accounts
designated by NFRRC (or by the Funding Agent, on behalf of the
Purchaser, under the Transfer and Administration Agreement) all
Collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the Receivables
and the Related Security.
SECTION 5.8. Limitation on Transfer of NITC Purchase Obligations.
NFRRC acknowledges and agrees that the rights pursuant to the NITC
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.

SECTION 5.9. Sale Treatment. NFC intends to treat the transfer
and assignment described herein as a sale for accounting and tax
purposes.
