The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has two primary components: a term loan of $365.0 million and a revolving bank loan of $450.0 million. The revolving bank loan has a Mexican sub-revolver providing for up to $100.0 million which may be used by NIC’s Mexican finance subsidiary. The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of NFC. The Maturity Date of the loans is December 16, 2012.

NFC’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement are secured by certain retail loans and other financings secured by new or used trucks, truck chassis, buses, vans and trailers and related property and a beneficial interest in retail leases of new and used trucks, truck chassis, buses, vans and trailers and related property (the “Loan Property”). NFC is required to make monthly payments consisting of monthly principal payments in the amount described on a schedule to the Loan and Security Agreement and of interest payments. NFC’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement mature on March 18, 2013 unless otherwise accelerated upon certain events described in the Loan and Security Agreement. On December 16, 2009, NFC entered into the Intercreditor Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto, by and among NFC, WFEFI, the Administrative Agent and the Trustee, whereby the lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement agreed to subordinate any security interests they may have on the Loan Property to those security interest of WFEFI in such property under the Loan and Security Agreement.
