WHEREAS, NFC is willing to sell the Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto to NFRRC;

WHEREAS, NFRRC may wish to sell or otherwise transfer the Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto, or interests therein, to a trust, corporation, partnership or other entity (any such transferee being the “Subsequent Transferee”); and

WHEREAS, the Subsequent Transferee may issue debentures, notes, participations, certificates of beneficial interest, partnership interests or other interests or securities (collectively, any such issued interests or securities being “Securities”) to fund its acquisition of the Receivables and the Related Security with respect thereto and, in connection with such issuance, the Subsequent Transferee may grant a security interest in, or otherwise pledge the Receivables and Related Security to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Financial Parties.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 2.01 Purchase and Sale of Receivables. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Article IV, NFC agrees to sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to NFRRC, without recourse (except as provided in Section 5.04), and NFRRC agrees to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Purchase Date”) pursuant to a written assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “PA Assignment”), all right, title and interest of NFC in, to and under the Retail Notes identified on the Schedule of Retail Notes to the PA Assignment delivered to NFRRC on the Purchase Date (the “Designated Receivables”) and the Related Security associated with the Designated Receivables.

It is the intention of NFC and NFRRC that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Section 2.01 shall constitute a sale of the Designated Receivables and Related Security by NFC to NFRRC and the beneficial interest in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be part of NFC’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against NFC under any bankruptcy law. NFC intends to treat such transfer and assignment as a sale for accounting and tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such sale shall for any reasons be ineffective or unenforceable or that such beneficial interest is a part of NFC’s estate (any of the foregoing, a “Recharacterization”), then (i) NFC shall be deemed to have granted to NFRRC a first priority perfected security interest in all of NFCs right title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, and NFC hereby grants such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of NFC under any agreement or instrument included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments in respect of the Designated Receivables included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all other monies payable under the Designated Receivables conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights, powers and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of NFC or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that NFC is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01. For purposes of such grant, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of NFC and NFRRC represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of collections by NFC to NFRRC hereunder or in connection herewith will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by NFC in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of NFC and NFRRC and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of NFC and NFRRC.

SECTION 2.02 Purchase Price. In consideration for the purchase of any Designated Receivables and Related Security, NFRRC shall, on the Purchase Date, pay to NFC an amount equal to the aggregate Starting Receivables Balance for such Designated Receivables (the “Purchase Price”) and NFC shall execute and deliver to NFRRC a PA Assignment with respect to such Designated Receivables. On the Closing Date, a portion of the Purchase Price payable on such date equal to $431,801,454.48 shall be paid to NFC in immediately available funds, and the balance of the Purchase Price ($30,018,282.93) shall be recorded as an

intercompany obligation due from NFRRC to NFC under a revolving note issued under the Amended and Restated Intercompany Advance Agreement, dated as of May 3, 1994, between NFC and NFRRC.

SECTION 2.03 The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Designated Receivables (the “Closing”), 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 Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements.

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 or the Related Security 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 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 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 (A) 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, which breach materially and adversely affects NFRRC’s interest (or the interest of any Financial Party) in such Designated Receivable, or (B) if at any time NFRRC or the Subsequent Transferee is required to obtain a license pursuant to Article 11-B of the New York Banking Law and such entity has failed to obtain such license and such failure adversely affects the interest of NFRRC (or the interest of any Financial Party) (each breach or circumstance described in preceding clause (A) or (B), a “Repurchase Event”) unless, in any such case, such breach shall have been cured in all material respects or such license shall have been obtained, as applicable, as of the second Accounting Date following NFC’s discovery or its receipt of notice of breach or the existence of such circumstance (or, at NFC’s election, the first Accounting Date following such discovery), NFC will repurchase the Designated Receivable or, in the case of preceding clause (B), all Designated Receivables affected by the failure to obtain such license, 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 (which amount shall be deposited by NFC directly into the Collection Account on the Transfer Date for the related Distribution Date), without further notice from NFRRC hereunder. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to one or more Designated Receivables 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 Receivables 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 Receivables 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 pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against NFC for such breach available to NFRRC or any Interested Party.

SECTON 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.

SECTON 5.06 Further Assignments. NFC acknowledges that NFRRC shall, pursuant to the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements, sell 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 Designated Receivables, the Related Security and this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Financial Parties. NFC further acknowledges that NFRRC may assign its rights under the Servicing Agreement to the Subsequent Transferee and that the Subsequent Transferee may in turn pledge, assign or transfer its rights in the Servicing Agreement to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Financial Parties.

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.
