WHEREAS, Harco Leasing holds the General Interest in the Titling Trust, representing the beneficial ownership interest in the General Titling Trust Assets;

WHEREAS, Harco Leasing is willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to sell the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest to NFC.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the above recitals and in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned them in Appendix A to the Pooling Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation and Navistar Financial 2006-ARC Owner Trust.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SERIES 2006-ARC PORTFOLIO INTEREST AND

LEASES; SECURITY INTEREST IN LEASED VEHICLES

SECTION 2.01 Transfer. On the date hereof (the “Lease Purchase Date”), Harco Leasing hereby:

(a) sells, transfers, assigns, delivers and conveys to NFC, and NFC hereby purchases from Harco Leasing, all of Harco Leasing’s right, title and interest in and to the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate and the beneficial interest in the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets represented thereby; and


(b) directs the General Interest Trustee and the Servicer to identify from the General Titling Trust Assets allocable to the General Interest, and to allocate to the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest, all of the right, title and interest of Harco Leasing and the Titling Trust in and to the Retail Leases identified on the Schedule of Retail Leases attached to the assignment, dated the date hereof, and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “LPA Assignment”), and the Related Titling Trust Assets with respect to such Retail Leases.

SECTION 2.02 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.03 The Closing. The consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated by Section 2.01 (the “Lease Purchase Closing”) shall take place on the Lease Purchase Date, and at such place and at such time as Harco Leasing and NFC may agree upon. In consideration for the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets sold at the Lease Purchase Closing, NFC shall pay to Harco Leasing on the Lease Purchase Date an amount equal to the aggregate Starting Receivable Balance as of the Cutoff Date (the “Lease Purchase Price”) of the Retail Leases being so sold (the “Designated Retail Leases”) on the Lease Purchase Date. The Lease Purchase Price shall be paid to Harco Leasing in immediately available funds.

SECTION 2.04 Transfer Intended as a Sale. It is the express intent of Harco Leasing and NFC that the conveyances and allocations of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate and the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets shall constitute sales of personal property which is absolute and irrevocable and which is without recourse to Harco Leasing, except as provided herein, and which provides NFC with the full benefits of exclusive legal and beneficial ownership of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest and the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate and with exclusive beneficial ownership of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets allocated to the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest (collectively, the “Sold Retail Lease Property”). It is, further, not the intention of either Harco Leasing or NFC that any such sale be deemed a grant of a security interest in such Sold Retail Lease Property by Harco Leasing to NFC to secure a debt or other obligation of Harco Leasing. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such property is held by a court of law to continue to be property of Harco Leasing, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the applicable UCC; and (ii) the transfers and allocations by Harco Leasing provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and Harco Leasing hereby grants to NFC, a security interest in and to all of Harco Leasing’s right, title and interest in and to such Sold Retail Lease Property and all proceeds of such property. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, Harco Leasing shall not be liable to NFC for any failure by any Obligor to make payments owed in respect of Sold Retail Lease Property.

(a) Harco Leasing hereby covenants and agrees with NFC for the benefit of NFC, NFRRC, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that in the event of (i) a breach of any of Harco Leasing’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 hereof with respect to any Designated Lease Receivable, or (ii) a breach by Harco Leasing of Section 5.04 hereof with respect to any Designated Retail Lease, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate, which breach has a material adverse effect on NFC’s interest in the Designated Retail Lease, the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate, Harco Leasing will, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, as of the Second Accounting Date (or at the option of Harco Leasing, the first Accounting Date) after Harco Leasing discovered or received notice of such breach, repurchase the Designated Retail Lease (or, in the case of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest or the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Certificate, all Designated Retail Leases which are then included in the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest), as applicable, from NFC, by delivering to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account on the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such Accounting Date an amount equal to the Warranty Payment for any the Designated Retail Lease. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Harco Leasing to repurchase any Designated Retail Lease as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Harco Leasing for such breach available to NFC or any of its assignees.

(b) Upon receipt of the Warranty Payment with respect to a Designated Retail Lease which is a Warranty Receivable, NFC shall assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, to Harco Leasing all of NFC’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) such Warranty Receivable and the Related Titling Trust Assets, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security. Upon the assignment of such Warranty Receivable and Related Titling Trust Assets, Harco Leasing shall own such Warranty Receivable and all such Related Titling Trust Assets, free of any further obligations to NFC with respect thereto. If in any proceeding it is held that Harco Leasing may not enforce a Warranty Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Warranty Receivable, NFC shall, at Harco Leasing’s expense, take such steps as Harco Leasing deems necessary to enforce the Warranty Receivable, including bringing suit in the name of such Person.

Harco Leasing consents to such assignments and agrees that the Indenture Trustee, to the extent provided in the Indenture, shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement and the rights (including, the right to grant or withhold any consent or waiver) of NFC directly against Harco Leasing.

FORM OF LPA ASSIGNMENT

Reference is hereby made to the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Supplement to the Titling Trust Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006, among Harco Leasing Company, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Harco Leasing”), J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor-in-interest to Bank One, National Association), a national banking association, as General Interest Trustee (“General Interest Trustee”) and as Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Trustee (“Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Trustee”), Chase Bank USA, National Association (as successor-in-interest to Bank One Delaware, Inc.), a national banking association, as Delaware Trustee (the “Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Supplement”), pursuant to which the General Interest Trustee has created a Portfolio Interest known as the “Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest.” Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Lease Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006, between Navistar Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NFC”) and Harco Leasing (the “Lease Purchase Agreement”).

Pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Supplement, Harco Leasing, as the Requisite GI Holder, hereby directs the General Interest Trustee to designate the Retail Leases more particularly described on the Schedule of Retail Leases attached hereto as Schedule I, along with the Related Titling Trust Assets with respect to such Retail Leases (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”), and account for the Transferred Assets as part of the Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Interest. The Transferred Assets, together with all other assets which constitute Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets, shall be separately accounted for on the books and records of the Titling Trust and shall be held in trust independently from all other Trust Assets.

For value received, in accordance with the Lease Purchase Agreement, Harco Leasing does hereby sell, assign, transfer and otherwise convey unto NFC, without recourse, all right, title and interest of Harco Leasing in, to and under the Transferred Assets and all payments paid on and due under such Series 2006-ARC Portfolio Assets on or after the Cutoff Date.

The foregoing sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in any assumption by NFC of any obligation of the undersigned to the Obligors, Dealers, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Transferred Assets described above, the agreements with Dealers, any Insurance Policies or any agreement or instrument relating to any of them.

It is the intention of Harco Leasing and NFC that the transfers and assignments contemplated by this LPA Assignment shall constitute a sale from Harco Leasing to NFC of the property described herein and in Section 2.01 of the Lease Purchase Agreement and the beneficial interest in title to such property shall not be part of Harco Leasing’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Harco Leasing under any bankruptcy law. Harco Leasing and NFC intend 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 beneficial interest is a part of Harco Leasing’s estate, then Harco Leasing shall be deemed to have granted

to NFC a first priority perfected security interest in all of Harco Leasing’s right title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to this LPA Assignment, and Harco Leasing hereby grants such security interest. For purposes of such grant, this LPA Assignment Notice shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC.

This LPA Assignment is made pursuant to and upon the representations, warranties and agreements on the part of the undersigned contained in the Lease Purchase Agreement and is to be governed by the Lease Purchase Agreement.
