WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the Initial Receivables and Subsequent Receivables (collectively, the Receivables), to the Issuer in exchange for the Securities and the payment of funds withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Issuer wish to set forth the terms pursuant to which the Receivables are to be sold by the Seller to the Issuer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The rules of construction set forth in Part II of such Appendix A shall be applicable to this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01 Conveyance of Initial Receivables. In consideration of the Issuers delivery of the Securities to, or upon the order of, the Seller, the Seller does hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder and to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 2.06), pursuant to an assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the Initial PSA Assignment), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:
(a) the Retail Notes identified on the Schedule of Retail Notes to the Initial PSA Assignment delivered to the Issuer and the Related Retail Note Assets with respect to those Retail Notes;
(b) the Series 2004-A Portfolio Interest, the Series 2004-A Portfolio Certificate and the beneficial interest in the Series 2004-A Portfolio Assets, including the Retail Leases identified on the Schedule of Retail Leases to the Initial PSA Assignment delivered to the Issuer and the Related Titling Trust Assets with respect to those Retail Leases;
(c) the rights, but not the obligations, of NFC under the Lease Purchase Agreement and the Initial LPA Assignment with respect to the Retail Leases included in the Initial Receivables; and
(d) the rights, but not the obligations, of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement and the Initial PA Assignment pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Receivables.
In addition, on the Closing Date the Seller shall deposit the Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account, the Pre-Funding Account Initial Deposit into the Pre-Funding Account and the Negative Carry Account Initial Deposit into the Negative Carry Account. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Section 2.01 shall constitute a sale of the Initial Receivables, the Series 2004-A Portfolio Interest and the Series 2004-A Portfolio Certificate from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be part of the Sellers estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within two Business Days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller 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 beneficial interest is a part of the Sellers estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Sellers right title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, and the Seller 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 the Seller 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 lease payments and principal and interest payments in respect of the Initial Receivables included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all other monies payable under the Initial 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 the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller 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.

SECTION 2.02 Conveyance of Subsequent Receivables. (a) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b) below, in consideration of the Issuers delivery on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the amount described in Section 8.11(a) of the Indenture to be delivered to the Seller, the Seller does hereby agree to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in Section 2.06, pursuant to an assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under:
(i) the Retail Notes identified on the Schedule of Retail Notes to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment delivered to the Issuer and the Related Retail Note Assets with respect to those Retail Notes;
(ii) the beneficial interest in the Series 2004-A Portfolio Assets, including the Retail Leases identified on the Schedule of Retail Leases to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment delivered to the Issuer and the Related Titling Trust Assets with respect to those Retail Leases;
(iii) the rights, but not the obligations, of NFC under the Lease Purchase Agreement and the Subsequent LPA Assignment with respect to the Retail Leases included in those Subsequent Receivables; and
(iv) the rights, but not the obligations, of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement and the Subsequent Transfer PA Assignment pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to those Subsequent Receivables.
It is the intention of the Seller that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Section 2.02 shall constitute a sale of the related Subsequent Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment shall not be part of the Sellers estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within two Business Days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller intends to treat each 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 any such transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial interest is a part of the Sellers estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Sellers right, title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, and the Seller hereby grants such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of the Seller under any agreement or instrument included in the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for lease payments and principal and interest payments in respect of the Subsequent

Receivables included in the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment and all other monies payable under the Subsequent Receivables conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, 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 the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment. For purposes of such grant, each such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, together with this Agreement, shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC.

(iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a duly executed Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, including the Schedule of Retail Notes and the Schedule of Retail Leases included in such Subsequent Receivables (which schedules shall be deemed to supplement the existing Composite Schedule of Receivables in effect at such time);

The Issuer does hereby accept all consideration conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, and declares that the Issuer shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the Trust Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (a) the rights pursuant to the International Purchase Obligations are personal to NFC and only the proceeds of such rights have been assigned to the Issuer hereunder and, with respect to the Retail Notes and Related Retail Note Assets, by NFC to NFRRC under the Purchase Agreement and from NFRRC to the Issuer hereunder and with respect to Retail Leases and Related Titling Trust Assets, by Harco Leasing to NFC under the Lease Purchase Agreement, from NFC to NFRRC under the Purchase Agreement and from NFRRC to the Issuer hereunder, (b) neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is or is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of such rights, and (c) accordingly such rights are not exercisable by, enforceable by or for the benefit of, or preserved for the benefit of, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.05 Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables. Pursuant to Sections 2.01(d) and 2.02(a)(iv), the Seller assigns to the Issuer all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the representations and warranties of NFC made to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
- 6 -
Purchase Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer that the Seller has taken no action which would cause such representations and warranties to be false in any material respect as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables. The Seller further acknowledges that the Issuer is relying on the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and of NFC under the Purchase Agreement in accepting the Receivables, the Series 2004-A Portfolio Interest and the Series 2004-A Portfolio Certificate in trust and executing and delivering the Securities. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables, the Series 2004-A Portfolio Interest and the Series 2004-A Portfolio Certificate to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
SECTION 2.06 Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or either Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement (and, with respect to Section 3.01(j) of the Purchase Agreement, irrespective of any limitation regarding knowledge of NFC) or in Section 2.05 or Section 3.01 of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Financial Parties in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach (or, at the Sellers election, the first Accounting Date following such discovery or notice), unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in Section 2.05 or Section 3.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer on the related Distribution Date. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Issuer shall have any affirmative duty to conduct any investigation as to the occurrence of any event requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.06.
The repurchase price to be paid by any Warranty Purchaser shall be an amount equal to the Warranty Payment. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such repurchase obligations are fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller, the Servicer, NFC or Harco Leasing for such breach available to any Interested Party.
