(d) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Servicer’s master computer records that refer to any Receivable indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and under the control of the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer’s ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.

(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable (i) has been originated in the United States of America by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, has been fully and properly executed or authenticated by the parties thereto, has been purchased by the Seller from NMAC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which in turn has purchased such Receivables from such Dealer under an existing dealer agreement with NMAC, and has been validly assigned by such Dealer to NMAC, which in turn has been validly assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller in accordance with its terms, (ii) created a valid, subsisting and enforceable security interest in favor of NMAC in such Financed Vehicle, which security interest has been validly assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller, which in turn has been validly assigned by the Seller to the Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security, (iv) provides for level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable may be minimally different from the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed over an original term of no greater than [___] payments, and (v) provides for interest at the related APR.

(b) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables was true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cut-off Date; the Receivables were selected from NMAC’s retail installment sale contracts meeting the criteria of the Trust set forth in this Agreement; and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the Securityholders were utilized in selecting the Receivables.

(c) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable, the origination of such Receivable, and the sale of the Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or made and at the execution of this Agreement complies in all material respects with all requirements

of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Warranty Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations B and Z, the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act and state adaptations of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, state “Lemon Laws” designed to prevent fraud in the sale of automobiles and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.

(d) 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.

(e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. (i) Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Issuer, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of NMAC 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 NMAC as secured party, and (ii) as of the Cut-off Date, according to the records of NMAC, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and the possession thereof not reinstated.

(f) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released from the lien granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part.

(g) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been waived in a manner that is prohibited by the provisions of Section 4.01 or that would cause such Receivable to fail to meet all of the other requirements and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto.

(h) 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.

(i) No Liens. To the Seller’s knowledge, no liens have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that shall be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by the Receivable.

(j) 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 hereunder).

(k) Insurance. NMAC, 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.

(l) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables 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 under this Agreement is deemed to be other than a sale, this Agreement and all filings described under this Agreement create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

(o) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” as such terms are defined in the UCC, or, in the case of Receivables that were originated as “electronic chattel paper” and modified via tangible “records” as such term is used in the UCC, constitutes a combination of electronic “records” and tangible “records,” as such term is used in the UCC (such Receivables consisting of a combination of electronic “records” and tangible “records” are herein called “Hybrid Chattel Paper”).

(p) Simple Interest Receivables. All of the Receivables are Simple Interest Receivables.

(q) One Original or Authoritative Copy. There is only one original executed copy of each “tangible record” constituting or forming a part of each Receivable that is tangible chattel paper and a single “authoritative copy” (as such terms are used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of each electronic record constituting or forming a part of each Receivable that is electronic chattel paper. No electronic record constituting or forming a part of a Receivable that is chattel paper was in the form of a tangible record prior to being created as an electronic record.

(aa) Origination. Each Receivable has an origination date on or after .

(bb) Prepayment. Each Receivable provides that a prepayment by the related Obligor will fully pay the principal balance and accrued interest through the date of prepayment based on the Receivable’s APR.

(cc) Receivable Files. The Receivable Files shall be kept at one or more of the locations listed in Schedule A hereto. The Receivable Files that constitute or

evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Issuer in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as permitted in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will violate the rights of the Issuer.”

(dd) Forced-Placed Insurance Premiums. No contract relating to any Receivable has had forced-placed insurance premiums added to the amount financed.

The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

(hh) No Government Obligors. None of the Receivables shall be due from the United States or any state, or from any agency, department subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

SECTION 3.02 Repurchase upon Breach. The Seller, the Servicer or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in any Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following such discovery (or, at the Seller’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following such discovery), the Seller shall be obligated (whether or not such breach was known to the Seller on the Closing Date), and the Issuer shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under this Agreement and, if necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation of NMAC under the Purchase Agreement, to repurchase any Receivable the Securityholders’ interest in which was materially and adversely affected by the breach as of such last day. A breach of the representation in Section 3.01(a)(iv), (t) or (u) shall be deemed to affect materially and adversely the related Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of the Receivables, the Seller shall remit the Warranty Purchase Payment in the manner specified in Section 5.05. For purposes of this Section 3.02, the Warranty Purchase Payment of a Receivable that is not consistent with the

Seller’s warranty pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(v) shall include such additional amount as shall be necessary to provide the full amount of interest as contemplated therein to the date of repurchase. The sole remedy of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee (by operation of the assignment of the Issuer’s rights hereunder pursuant to the Indenture), any Securityholder [or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], with respect to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01, shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section and to enforce the obligation of NMAC to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 3.03 Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

(a) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Receivable Files as custodian for the benefit of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to all comparable automotive receivables that the Servicer services for itself or others. In accordance with its customary practices with respect to its retail installment sale contracts, the Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any material failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided in all material respects and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such material failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.

(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records.

SECTION 3.04 Instructions; Authority To Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 3.05 Custodian’s Indemnification.

ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.01 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer

exercises with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others. There are no requirements under the Basic Documents to maintain a back-up servicer. Except with respect to Defaulted Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Warranty Receivables or to the extent required by state or federal law, the Servicer shall not change the amount of or reschedule the due date of any Scheduled Payment beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes, change the APR of, or extend the due date of any Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes except as provided herein or change any material term of a Receivable; provided, however, that:

(1) if a default, breach, violation, delinquency or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have occurred or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is imminent, the Servicer may (A) extend such Receivable for credit related reasons that would be acceptable to the Servicer with respect to comparable new, near-new or used automobile or light-duty truck receivables that it services for itself, but only if (i) the final scheduled payment date of such Receivable as extended would not be later than the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes, and (ii) the rescheduling or extension would not modify the terms of such Receivable in a manner that would constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new receivable for federal income tax purposes; or (B) reduce an Obligor’s monthly payment amount in the event of a prepayment resulting from refunds of credit life and disability insurance premiums and service contracts and make similar adjustments in an Obligor’s payment terms to the extent required by law;

(2) if at the end of the scheduled term of any Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of principal and interest, provided that the last such payment shall be due on or prior to the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes; and

(3) the Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending remittance advises to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and making Advances pursuant to Section 5.04. The Servicer is not required under the Basic Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Basic Documents for funds to be, and funds

shall not be, held in trust for an Obligor. The Servicer is not required to make any payments or distributions on behalf of an Obligor. In addition, if and to the extent applicable, the Servicer’s duties shall include the execution and delivery of any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables. If the Servicer shall commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer (in the case of a Receivable other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Issuer shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders. The Issuer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(d) The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Trust all licenses required to be held by the Trust under the laws of any jurisdiction in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. Nothing in the foregoing or in any other section of this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Servicer from implementing new programs, whether on an intermediate, pilot or permanent basis, or on a regional or nationwide basis, or from modifying its standards, policies and procedures as long as, in each case, the Servicer does or would implement such programs or modify its standards, policies and procedures in respect of comparable assets serviced for itself in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 4.02 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others. Except for Advances made pursuant to Section 5.04, there are no requirements under the Basic Documents for advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Except for the requirements set forth in Section 5.04 relating to Advances, there are no requirements under the Basic Documents for the making, review or approval of Advances.

SECTION 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer

shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of comparable receivables, which may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse and selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds.

SECTION 4.04 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. If the assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Trust in such Financed Vehicle and agrees that the Servicer’s listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in this capacity as agent of the Trust. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Basic Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the certificate of title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest.

SECTION 4.05 Covenants of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or repossession.

(b) The Servicer shall not do anything to impair the rights of the Securityholders in the Receivables.

(c) Except with respect to Defaulted Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Warranty Receivables or to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall not alter the APR of any Receivable or forgive payments on a Receivable. Except as provided in Section 4.01, the Servicer shall not modify the number of payments under a Receivable, increase the amount financed under a Receivable, or extend the due date for any payment on a Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes.

(d) If the Servicer shall determine not to make an Advance related to delinquency or non-payment of any Receivable pursuant to Section 5.04 because it determines that such Advance would not be recoverable from subsequent collections on such Receivable, such Receivable shall be designated by the Servicer to be a Defaulted Receivable, provided that such Receivable otherwise meets the definition of a Defaulted Receivable.

(e) If the Seller is required to pay tax under the second sentence of Section 6.03(a) and if such tax is not paid by the Seller, then the Servicer shall pay such tax (or cause such tax to be paid) to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Issuer.

(f) As of any date of determination, if the aggregate principal amount of Receivables that have been extended and that also constitute Hybrid Chattel Paper exceeds 9.0% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Receivables, and if such excess amount is not otherwise reduced prior to the end of the second Collection Period following such discovery (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date), the Servicer will purchase a sufficient aggregate principal amount of Receivables to reduce the aggregate principal amount of Receivables that have been extended and that also constitute Hybrid Chattel Paper to less than [___]% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Receivables.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Servicer (a) employs processes and procedures to convert tangible “records” evidencing modifications of Receivables that were originated as “electronic chattel paper” to electronic “records” (as such terms are used in the UCC) and (b) (i) delivers to the Rating Agencies a written opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that, such processes and procedures so employed satisfy the requirements of the UCC such that the Servicer has control of both the original electronic contract and the electronic “records” that resulted from the conversion or (ii) otherwise satisfies the Rating Agencies that its processes and procedures are sufficient to perfect its security interest in the Receivables, then such “records” will no longer constitute Hybrid Chattel Paper.

SECTION 4.06 Purchase of Receivables upon Breach. The Servicer or the Issuer shall inform the other party and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach by the Servicer of its obligations under the second sentence of Section 4.01 or under Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 that would materially and adversely affect any Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following such discovery (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following discovery), the Servicer shall (whether or not such breach was known to the Servicer on the Closing Date) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. In consideration of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Administrative Purchase Payment (as reduced by any Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable) in the manner specified in Section 5.05. For the purposes of this Section 4.06, the Administrative Purchase Payment shall consist in part of a release by the Servicer of all rights of reimbursement with respect to Outstanding Advances with respect to the purchased Receivable. The sole remedy of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Trust, the Securityholders [or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] against the Servicer with respect to a breach by the Servicer of its obligations under the second sentence of Section 4.01 or under Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.06.

imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Securityholders).

(c) Except to the extent set forth in Section 4.09(b) of this Agreement and Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the Basic Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default.

(b) The Servicer shall provide to each Rating Agency any information regarding the Receivables that is reasonably requested by such Rating Agency.

(c) Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

SECTION 4.12 Appointment of Subservicer. So long as NMAC acts as the Servicer, the Servicer may at any time without notice or consent subcontract substantially all its duties under this Agreement to any corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Nissan. The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as servicer under this Agreement through other subcontractors; provided, however, that no such delegation or subcontracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibilities with respect to such duties as to which the Servicer shall remain primarily responsible with respect thereto. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this Section 4.12, the Servicer shall follow such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for its own account.

ARTICLE V
Distributions; Accounts;
Statements to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders

SECTION 5.01 Establishment of Accounts.

(a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]]. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Deposit Account initially established with the Indenture

Trustee and maintained with the Indenture Trustee as long as (i) the deposits of the Indenture Trustee have the Required Deposit Rating and the Indenture Trustee satisfies clause (a)(ii) of the definition of Eligible Deposit Account or (ii) the Collection Account is maintained in a segregated trust account in the trust department of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that all amounts held in the Collection Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations and as directed by the Servicer, be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments; otherwise, such amounts shall be maintained in cash; provided that if (x) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, or (z) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Collection Account in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date, in such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the required distributions on the Distribution Date; provided, that if permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date; provided, however, that such investment shall be sold not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer not to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. Should the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee no longer have the Required Deposit Rating then, unless the Collection Account is maintained in segregated trust accounts in the trust department of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee’s assistance as necessary and within ten Business Days of receipt of notice from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee no longer has the Required Deposit Rating, cause the Collection Account (i) to be moved to segregated trust accounts in a bank or trust company, the short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or (ii) to be moved to the trust department of the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Earnings on investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Servicer as servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish and maintain the Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Securityholders [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]]. The Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Distribution Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full [and after payment of any [outstanding Net Swap Payments and] [Swap][Cap] Termination Payments, if any, to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] under the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement] (or when substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to another Eligible Deposit Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “Trust Collection Account”), and take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Securityholders [or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Distribution Date. After the transfer to the Trust Collection Account described in the immediately preceding sentence, references in this Agreement to “Collection Account” shall be deemed to be references to the “Trust Collection Account.”

(d) With respect to the Collection Account and all property held therein, the Owner Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class remain outstanding [and payments are owing to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] under the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement], the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be), and the Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], as the case may be, as set forth in the Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Issuer, the Owner Trustee[, the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] and the Holders of the Certificates have no right, title or interest in the Reserve Account or any amounts on deposit therein at any time. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to withhold, or to be reimbursed from amounts otherwise payable into or on deposit in the Collection Account, as the case may be, amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined to have resulted from mistaken deposits or posting.

(e) No checks shall be issued, printed, or honored with respect to the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, [the Yield Supplement Account,] the Trust Collection Account [or the [Swap][Cap] Termination Payment Account].

SECTION 5.02 Collections.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables (excluding payments on the Warranty Receivables or the Administrative Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds not later than the second Business Day after identification thereof. For purposes of this Article V, the phrase “payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors” shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (i) NMAC is the Servicer, (ii) (A) NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least [“Prime-1”] by [Moody’s], NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least [“A-1”] by [Standard & Poor’s] and NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least [“F1”] by [Fitch] (so long as [Moody’s], [Standard & Poor’s] and [Fitch] are Rating Agencies), (B) NMAC maintains a letter of credit or other form of enhancement acceptable to each Rating Agency to support NMAC’s obligation to deposit collections into the Collection Account, or (C) NMAC otherwise satisfies each Rating Agency’s requirements, and (iii) no Event of Default or Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless waived by the appropriate Securityholders) (collectively, the “Monthly Remittance Conditions”); the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without segregation from its other funds, until the Business Day before each Distribution Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all future collections on or in respect of the Receivables (other than payments on Warranty Receivables and the Administrative Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Collection Account not later than the second Business Day after identification thereof.

(b) [The Indenture Trustee will promptly, on the date of receipt, deposit into the Collection Account all Net [Swap][Cap] Receipts received by it under the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement in immediately available funds.]

(c) The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstances under clause (iii) of the definition of the Monthly Remittance Condition unless the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate or from the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or a Trust Officer of the

Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee with knowledge hereof or familiarity herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstances.

(d) The Servicer shall give (i) the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee written notice as soon as practical after the occurrence thereof but in no event later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof and (ii) each Rating Agency prompt written notice of the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition (and any subsequent curing of a failed Monthly Remittance Condition) (it being understood that if the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, no such notice shall be required in connection therewith).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, the Servicer may utilize an alternative remittance schedule (which may include the remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer before the Monthly Remittance Condition became unsatisfied), if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such alternative remittance schedule.

SECTION 5.03 Application of Collections. All collections for the related Collection Period with respect to each Receivable (including any payoff) shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the Servicer’s customary servicing practices, and shall be allocated by the Servicer as follows:

(a) First, to interest accrued to date on such Receivable;

(b) Second, to principal until the Principal Balance of such Receivable is brought current;

(d) Fourth, to prepay principal of such Receivable.

SECTION 5.04 Advances.

(a) The Servicer shall make a payment with respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable, a Warranty Receivable or a Liquidated Receivable) (each, an “Advance”) equal to the excess if any, of (x) the product of the Principal Balance of such Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its APR (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), over (y) the interest actually received by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable from the Obligor or from payments of the Administrative Purchase Payment or the Warranty Purchase Payment, as the case may be, during such Collection Period. The Servicer will not be obligated to make an Advance in respect of a Receivable (other than an Advance in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to each Receivable, the Advance shall increase the Outstanding Advances. No Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of the Receivables. The Servicer shall deposit all such

Advances into the Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. To the extent that the amount set forth in clause (y) above with respect to a Receivable is greater than the amount set forth in clause (x) above with respect thereto, such amount shall be distributed to the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else herein, the Servicer shall not be reimbursed for any amounts representing an Advance, or any portion thereof, made in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Receivable.

(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(i), Section 5.06(d)(i), or Section 5.06(e)(i): (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds, and (iii) the Warranty Purchase Payments.

(c) To the extent that the Servicer has determined that any Outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer may provide to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance, and on the related Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from funds on deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(ii), Section 5.06(d)(ii), or Section 5.06(e)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as NMAC is the Servicer, in lieu of causing the Servicer first to deposit and then the Relevant Trustee to remit to the Servicer the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) in Section 5.04(b) reimbursable in respect on Outstanding Advances, or the amounts described in Section 5.04(c) applicable in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.04(a), no Successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall be obligated to make Advances unless it has expressly agreed to do so in writing.

(a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the Collection Account: (i) the Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 3.02; (ii) the Servicer shall remit (A) the aggregate Advances pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (B) the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables pursuant to Section 4.06, and (C) the cash amount required upon any optional purchase of the Receivables by the Servicer, or any Successor Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.01; and (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall transfer [(A) the Yield Supplement Deposit from the Yield Supplement Account to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.08, plus reinvestment income on the Yield Supplement Account (in assuring the availability therein of the related

Available Interest), plus amounts described in the second sentence of Section 5.08(b), (B)] the amounts described in Sections 5.06 and 5.07 from the Reserve Account to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.07[, and (C) the amounts on deposit in the [Swap][Cap] Termination Payment Account, if any, to the Collection Account].

(b) All deposits required to be made pursuant to Section 5.05(a) by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. At the direction of the Servicer, the Relevant Trustee shall invest such amounts in Eligible Investments maturing not later than 12:00 P.M. New York City Time, on the related Distribution Date.

(c) [The Servicer will promptly, on the date of receipt, deposit into the Collection Account any Net [Swap][Cap] Receipts received by the Servicer from the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider], if any.]

SECTION 5.07 Reserve Account.

(a) In order to assure that certain amounts will be available to make required payments to Noteholders [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], the Seller will, pursuant to the Securities Account Control Agreement, establish and maintain with the Securities Intermediary a segregated trust account (the “Reserve Account”) in the name of the Indenture Trustee which will include the money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 5.06 and this Section 5.07. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve Account Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account. As, and to the extent, set forth in Section 5.06(c), the Relevant Trustee will deposit Available Amounts into the Reserve Account on each Distribution Date as provided in the Servicer’s Certificate, until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts in the Collection Account and/or Available Amounts, as the case may be, are insufficient to fully fund the payments and distributions described in clauses (i) through [(vii)] of Section 5.06(c), clauses (i) through [(vii)] of Section 5.06(d), or clauses (i) through [(ix)] of Section 5.06(e), the Relevant Trustee will withdraw amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Account, up to the amounts of any such deficiencies, and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account for application pursuant to such clauses. On each Distribution Date, as provided in the Servicer’s Certificate, the Relevant Trustee will release to the Seller any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance. Upon the payment in full of the Notes under the Indenture [and payment of [any Net Swap Payments and] any [Swap][Cap] Termination Payments (if any) to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] under an Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement], as directed in writing by the Servicer, the Relevant Trustee will release to the Seller any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account, and all rights to the Reserve Account and all other collateral registered or held therein shall revert to the Seller in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders[, the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] and the Relevant Trustee will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

(b) All amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested by the Relevant Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments; provided that if (x) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to

the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, or (z) the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Reserve Account in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date, in such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the required deposits on the Distribution Date; provided that if permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Relevant Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Reserve Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Relevant Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Relevant Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Relevant Trustee, to such effect. Earnings, if any, on investment of funds in the Reserve Account shall be paid to the Seller, and losses and any investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. The Relevant Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection of investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance. The Relevant Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.

(c) Subject to the right of the Relevant Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06 and 5.07(a), the Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee[, the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Seller[, the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] and the Indenture Trustee will treat the Reserve Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Seller for federal income tax and all other purposes.

(d) The Seller hereby grants to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] a security interest in the Reserve Account and all funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Reserve Account (including the Reserve Account Initial Deposit) and the proceeds thereof to secure the payment of interest on and principal of the Notes [and [any Net Swap Payments and] any [Swap][Cap] Termination Payments to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] under the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement], and the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of funds in the Reserve Account, and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder. If for any reason the Reserve Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Relevant

Trustee shall promptly cause the Reserve Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the Reserve Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.

(e) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Account.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall make a capital contribution to the Trust by depositing an amount equal to the Initial Yield Supplement Amount into the Yield Supplement Account pursuant to the Yield Supplement Agreement.

On each Distribution Date, if the amount on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account (after giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such Distribution Date) is greater than the Required Yield Supplement Amount, the Relevant Trustee will deposit such excess into the Collection Account for distribution by the Relevant Trustee in accordance with the terms of Section 5.06(c). Upon payment in full of the Notes under the Indenture as directed in writing by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will release any amounts remaining on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account, and all rights to the Yield Supplement Account and all other collateral registered or held therein to the Seller.

(c) All amounts held in the Yield Supplement Account shall be invested by the Relevant Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments; provided that if (x) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to the Indenture, or (z) the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Yield Supplement Account in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the

next Distribution Date, in such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the required deposits on the Distribution Date; provided, that if permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Relevant Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Yield Supplement Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Relevant Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Relevant Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Relevant Trustee, to such effect. Earnings, if any, on investment of funds in the Yield Supplement Account shall be deposited in the Collection Account on each Distribution Date, and losses and any investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. The Relevant Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection of investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance. The Relevant Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.

(d) The Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee will treat the Yield Supplement Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Trust for federal income tax and all other purposes.

(e) Pursuant to the Yield Supplement Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Trust will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Yield Supplement Account (including the Initial Yield Supplement Amount) and the proceeds thereof to secure the payment of interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto. If for any reason the Yield Supplement Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly cause the Yield Supplement Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the Yield Supplement Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.

(f) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Yield Supplement Account.]

SECTION 6.03 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement.

(a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with respect to, as of the date hereof, the sale of the Receivables to the Trust or the issuance and original sale of the Notes and the Certificates, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes and any and all other taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate (but, in the case of the Trust, not including any taxes asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or federal or other income taxes arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Basic Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a tax is levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate under HB3, which tax becomes due and payable after the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay such tax (or cause such tax to be paid) to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement should be read to imply that the Issuer is doing business in Texas, has sufficient nexus with Texas in order for HB3 to apply to the Issuer or is otherwise subject to the tax described in HB3.

(b) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of (i) the Seller’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, and (ii) the Seller’s or the Issuer’s violation of federal or state securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Certificates and the Notes.

Indemnification under this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payment to any Person entitled thereto pursuant to this Section 6.03 and such Person thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest (except to the extent the recipient collects interest from others).

Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 6.03 (for purposes of this paragraph, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made in respect thereof against the Seller under this Section 6.03, notify the Seller of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.03 and it notifies the Seller of the commencement thereof, the Seller will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is, a conflict of interest, be counsel to the Seller), and the Seller will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 6.03 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the

defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 6.03 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest (except to the extent received by such Person).

SECTION 6.04 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Subject to Section 6.02, any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller or (iv) that is a corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by Nissan, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall have been breached and no Servicer Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement or assumption comply with this Section 6.04 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (z) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on customary qualifications and assumptions, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to perfect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Seller shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 6.04 to each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x), (y) and (z) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above.

SECTION 6.05 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.

(a) Neither the Seller nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders [or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Seller and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly

executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

(b) The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may cause it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Certificateholders and the Noteholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.

SECTION 6.06 Seller May Own Certificates or Notes. The Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents. Certificates or Notes so owned by or pledged to the Seller or such controlling or commonly controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates or the Notes, as the case may be, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Basic Documents.

ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.01 Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.

The location of the Servicer’s chief executive office is in Franklin, Tennessee.

(b) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business relating to the servicing of the Receivables as required by this Agreement shall require such qualifications and where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary corporate action.

This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties; which breach, default, conflict, Lien or violation in any case would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement, [the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement(s),] the Certificates or the Notes; (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture[, the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement(s),] or the Purchase Agreement; (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement, [the Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement(s),] the Certificates or the Notes; or (iv) relating to the Servicer and that would adversely affect the federal or any state income tax attributes of the Certificates or the Notes.

SECTION 7.02 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement:

(a) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, [the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider],] the Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or

(b) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, [the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider],] the Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any and all Damages to the extent that such Damage arose out of, or was imposed upon, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, [the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider],] the Certificateholders or the Noteholders through the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

(c) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against all Damages arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein contained, except to the extent that such Damage: (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be; (ii) relates to any tax other than the taxes with respect to which the Seller shall be required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee; (iii) shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of any of their respective representations or warranties set forth in the Basic Documents; (iv) shall be one as to which the Seller is required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and as to which such Person has received payment of indemnity from the Seller; or (v) shall arise out of or be incurred in connection with the performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of Successor Servicer hereunder.

Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02 (for purposes of this paragraph, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 7.02, notify the Servicer of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 and it notifies the Servicer of the commencement thereof, the Servicer will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is, a conflict of interest, be counsel to the Servicer), and the Servicer will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 7.02 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest (except to the extent received by such Person).

Indemnification under this Section 7.02 by NMAC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, shall survive

the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 7.02 and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest (except to the extent the recipient collects interest from others).

SECTION 7.03 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Servicer, or (iv) so long as NMAC acts as Servicer, that is a corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by Nissan, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 7.03 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (z) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on customary qualifications and assumptions, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to perfect such interest. The Servicer shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 7.03 to each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x), (y) and (z) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above.

SECTION 7.04 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders[ or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may cause it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to the Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.

SECTION 7.05 NMAC Not To Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, NMAC shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of NMAC shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time), and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice.

ARTICLE VIII

Default

SECTION 8.01 Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as NMAC is the Servicer) to deliver to the Relevant Trustee for deposit in any of the Accounts any required payment or to direct the Relevant Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after (i) receipt by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as NMAC is the Servicer) of written notice of such failure given by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, (ii) receipt by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as NMAC is the Servicer), the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such failure given by Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount, or (iii) discovery of such failure by any officer of the Servicer;

(b) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) set forth in this Agreement (including its obligation to purchase Receivables pursuant to Section 4.06), which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders and shall continue unremedied for a period of 90 days after giving of written notice of the failure to (i) the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or (ii) the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) and the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount or Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance; or

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (but excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Notes held or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates unless all of the Notes are held or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates), acting together as a single Class, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer, in the Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables that shall at that time be held by the predecessor Servicer and the delivery of the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture Trustee, the original Servicer hereunder shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 8.02 Appointment of Successor.

(a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer’s resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the earlier of (i) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer’s resignation or termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and shall provide in writing the information reasonably required by the Seller to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to a replacement servicer. If a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.02, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, and the predecessor Servicer, if no successor Servicer has been appointed at the time the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement.

(b) Upon appointment, the Successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as Successor Servicer) shall (i) be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer (except the initial Servicer’s obligation to make Advances) and shall be entitled, subject to the arrangements referred to in paragraph (c) below, to the servicing fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement.

(c) In connection with such appointment, the Issuer may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out of payments on Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

SECTION 8.03 Repayment of Advances. If the Servicer shall resign or be terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive, to the extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.04 with respect to all Advances previously made thereby.

SECTION 8.04 Notification.

The Holders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or, in the case of any Servicer Default which does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, the Holders of Certificates evidencing a majority of the Certificate Balance, in each case excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates (unless all of the Notes or the Certificates, as the case may be, are held by NMAC, NARC II and their Affiliates), may, on behalf of all the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Termination; Release of Receivables

SECTION 9.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

(a) On each Distribution Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than or equal to the Optional Purchase Percentage multiplied by the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer shall have the option to purchase, or cause to be purchased, the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate (whether or not such assets then comprise all or a portion of the Trust Estate) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price (the “Optional Purchase”). To exercise such option, the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to do so in writing, no later than the first Business Day of the month in which such purchase is to be effected and shall, on or before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur, deposit pursuant to Section 5.05 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price (or the deposit in cash of such lesser amount as provided in Section 9.01(b)), and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust Estate and the Owner Trust Estate; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not effect any such purchase so long as the rating of NMAC by [▇▇▇▇▇’▇] is less than [“Ba1”] unless the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such purchase shall not constitute a fraudulent conveyance, subject to such assumptions as to factual matters

as may be contained therein. Amounts so deposited will be paid and distributed as set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement. Upon such deposit of the amount necessary to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables.

(b) The Servicer, at its option, may pay all or a portion of the Optional Purchase Price by issuing a demand note in favor of the Trust, the terms of which, on the whole, shall be commercially reasonable and substantially similar to terms that would prevail in an arms-length negotiation between unaffiliated parties; provided, however, that (i) the Servicer shall pay in cash the portion of the Optional Purchase Price that is equal to or greater than the sum of (x) the Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes and (y) the Noteholders’ Interest Distributable Amount for all Classes of Notes for such Distribution Date, [and (z) [all Net Swap Payments, if any, and] any [Swap][Cap] Termination Payments, if any, due to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider],] and (ii) the Servicer may issue a demand note to a Certificateholder pursuant to this Section 9.01 only if such Certificateholder consents to the receipt of such demand note.

(c) Notice of any such purchase of the Owner Trust Estate shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice thereof from the Servicer.

(d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes [and [all Net Swap Payments, if any,] and any [Swap][Cap] Termination Payments, if any, due to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder other than under Section 5.06 and the Issuer will succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02 Release of Receivables.

(a) Upon repurchase of any Receivable by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06 or Section 9.01, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof and the other property conveyed to the Issuer hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable, and all security and any records relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security; and the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such Receivable, and all such related security and records, free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect thereto.

(b) The Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other actions as shall be reasonably

requested by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to Sections 3.02, 4.06 and 9.02.

(c) If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Seller or the Servicer may not enforce a repurchased Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, at the written direction and expense of the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, take such reasonable steps as the Seller or the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name or names of the Issuer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.

SECTION 9.03 Termination.

(a) The respective obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, NMAC (so long as NMAC has rights or obligations hereunder), the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable and the final disposition of all amounts received upon liquidation of any remaining Receivables, or (ii) the election by the Servicer to purchase the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 9.01 and the payment or distribution to Securityholders of all amounts required to be paid to them under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

(b) Notice of any such termination under this Section 9.03 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to each Securityholder of record [and to the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] as specified in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as appropriate.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 10.01 Amendment.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders.

(1) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder that are not inconsistent with the provisions herein; provided that (i) the amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder and (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee stating that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder; and

(2) to (A) change the formula for determining the required amount for the Specified Reserve Account Balance or (B) add a supplemental specified Reserve

Account balance and amend Section 5.06(c) to require payments and distributions to the Reserve Account up to an amount equal to the sum of the Specified Reserve Account Balance and such supplemental specified Reserve Account balance immediately following any payments and distributions made pursuant to Section 5.06(c)[(xi)] upon (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment, or (ii) delivery by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate stating that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder. If the proposed amendment or supplement described in the foregoing clause (a)(2) would materially and adversely affect any of the rights or obligations of any Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall obtain the consent of each Certificateholder prior to the adoption of such amendment or supplement; provided, that no Certificateholder’s consent to any such amendment or supplement shall be unreasonably withheld, and provided, further, that each Certificateholder’s consent will be deemed to have been given if such Certificateholder does not object in writing within 10 days of receipt of a written request for such consent. Upon receipt of the consent, or deemed consent, of each Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such consent or deemed consent.

An amendment will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder of any Class if (x) the amendment does not adversely affect the Trust’s status as a partnership (or, for any period during which there is not more than one beneficial owner of a Certificate, the Trust’s status as an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from the Certificateholder) for federal income tax purposes, (y) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, and (z) the Servicer has delivered the Officer’s Certificate described in this Section 10.01(a).

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the consent of:

(1) the Holders of Notes evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; or

(2) in the case of any amendment that does not adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, the Holders of the Certificates evidencing a majority of the outstanding Certificate Balance (but excluding for purposes of calculation and action all Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates, unless all of the Certificates are held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their Affiliates);

for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of those Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided, however, that no amendment shall:

(1) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions

that are required to be made for the benefit of those Noteholders or Certificateholders or change the Interest Rate or the Specified Reserve Account Balance (except as described above under clause (2) of subsection (a) above) without the consent of each “adversely affected” Noteholder or Certificateholder; or

(2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or Certificate Balance of the Certificates which is required to consent to any amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the then outstanding Notes or Certificates.

An amendment referred to above will be deemed not to “adversely affect” a Noteholder of any Class only if the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment is satisfied. In connection with any amendment referred to in clause (x) above, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee stating that those Noteholders and Certificateholders whose consents were not obtained were not adversely affected by such amendment.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.02(h)(A). The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) [The Indenture Trustee shall notify the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] of any proposed amendment or supplement to this Agreement. If such proposed amendment or supplement would materially and adversely affect any of the [Swap Counterparty’s][Cap Provider’s] rights or obligations under an Interest Rate [Swap][Cap] Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall obtain the consent of the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] prior to the adoption of such amendment or supplement; provided, that the [Swap Counterparty’s][Cap Provider’s] consent to any such amendment or supplement shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided, further, that the [Swap Counterparty’s][Cap Provider’s] consent will be deemed to have been given if the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider] does not object in writing within 10 days of receipt of a written request for such consent.]

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Owner Trustee of any proposed amendment or supplement to this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(2). If such proposed amendment or supplement would materially and adversely affect any of the rights or obligations of any Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee shall obtain a notice from the Owner Trustee confirming the consent or deemed consent of each Certificateholder prior to the adoption of such amendment or supplement; provided, that no Certificateholder’s consent to any such amendment or supplement shall be unreasonably withheld, and provided, further, that each Certificateholder’s consent will be deemed to have been given if such Certificateholder does not object in writing within 10 days of receipt of a written request for such consent.

SECTION 10.02 Protection of Title to Trust.

(a) The Seller shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and in the proceeds thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(b) The Seller and the Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after any change of its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(c) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of any relocation of its principal executive office or state of incorporation within 30 days after such relocation, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United States of America.

(d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each), and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

(e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables to the Trust, the Servicer’s master computer records that refer to any Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the

Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall at all times maintain control of the Receivables constituting electronic chattel paper. Indication of these respective interests in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have become a Liquidated Receivable or been repurchased.

(f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive receivables to, any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.

(g) Upon receipt of a written request from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, which request shall be made no more frequently than annually, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, within 20 Business Days after receipt of such request, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) then held as part of the Trust, together with a reconciliation of the Schedule of Receivables and to each of the Servicer’s Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Trust. The Servicer shall permit the Indenture Trustee and its agents at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Receivable.

(h) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee:

(A) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel, based on customary assumptions and qualifications, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to perfect the interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest;
