           average  of  the   averages  of  sold  Retail   Accounts
           including   additions   thereto   outstanding   at   the

           as of August  16,  2000  between  NFC and  Truck  Retail
           Accounts  Corporation,  as the same may be amended  from
           time to time.

      6.   Effectiveness of  Amendments.  This  Amendment shall  be
           deemed effective on the date hereof. Except as expressly
           set forth above, all terms of the Agreement shall be and
           remain in full  force and  effect  and shall  constitute
           the   legal,   valid   and   binding   and   enforceable
           obligations  of the  parties  hereto.  To the extent any
           terms and conditions in the Agreement  shall  contradict
           or  be  in  conflict   with  any   provisions   of  this
           Amendment,   the  provisions  of  this  Amendment  shall
           govern.

      7.   Governing  law. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE  AGREEMENT  SHALL
           BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UNLESS
           OTHERWISE  NOTED,  THE LAWS OF THE  STATE  OF  ILLINOIS,
           WITHOUT  REFERENCE  TO ITS  CONFLICT OF LAW  PROVISIONS,
           AND THE OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES
           HEREUNDER   AND   THEREUNDER   SHALL  BE  DETERMINED  IN
           ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

      8.   Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in separate
           counterparts each  of which shall be an original and all
           of which taken together shall constitute one and the
           same agreement.
