(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the effect of general equitable principles and (iii) the potential unenforceability of waivers of jury trial provisions in certain states.

(v) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. (a) Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Purchaser, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary and appropriate actions shall have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, and (b) as of the Cut-off Date, according to the records of the Seller, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and the possession thereof not reinstated.

(viii) No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the operation of any of the terms of any Receivable, or the exercise of any right thereunder, will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject such Receivable to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(x) No Default. Except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 29 days as of the Cut-off Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred; and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen (other than deferrals and waivers of late payment charges or fees permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement).

(xi) Insurance. The Seller, in accordance with its customary procedures, has determined at the time of origination of each Receivable that the related Obligor has agreed to obtain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle and the Obligor is required under the terms of the related Receivable to maintain such insurance.

(xii) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law.

Each Receivable File contains the original certificate of title (or a photocopy or image thereof) or evidence that an application for a certificate of title has been filed. To the extent the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement is deemed to be other than a sale, this

6.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

6.12 Transfers Intended as Sales; Security Interest.

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales, transfers, assignments and contributions without recourse rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchased Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of the Receivables and related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectability of the Receivables.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Purchased Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, then it is intended that:

(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether

(Nissan 2014-A Purchase Agreement)

now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;

(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and

(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

6.13 No Petition. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by any Bankruptcy Remote Party, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause such Bankruptcy Remote Party to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.
