Attn: Nissan Auto Receivables 2004-A Owner Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Nissan Auto Receivables Corporation II (the "Company") hereby confirms
arrangements made as of the date hereof with you, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Indenture Trustee, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner
Trustee for the Nissan Auto Receivables 2004-A Owner Trust (the "Trust"), for
the benefit of the Noteholders, to be effective upon (i) receipt by the Company
of the enclosed copy of this letter agreement (the "Yield Supplement
Agreement"), executed by Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation ("NMAC"), the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, (ii) execution of the Purchase
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"), between the
Company and NMAC, (iii) receipt by NMAC of the payment by the Company of the
purchase price under the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the receipt by the Company
of the capital contribution of NMAC in connection with the payment of the
purchase price under the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among NMAC, as
Servicer, the Company, and Nissan Auto Receivables 2004-A Owner Trust, as Issuer
(the "Sale and Servicing Agreement").

         1.       On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall
notify the Company and the Owner Trustee of the "Yield Supplement Deposit" (as
defined below) for the related Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in the
Yield Supplement Account (as defined below), the Servicing Payment Deposit with
respect to the related Distribution Date and the amount of reinvestment income
during the related Collection Period on the Yield Supplement Account. The "Yield
Supplement Deposit" means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the amount by
which (i) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been due during the
related Collection Period on all Yield Supplemented Receivables (as defined
below) if such Yield Supplemented Receivables bore interest at the Required Rate
(as defined below) exceeds (ii) the amount of interest accrued on such Yield
Supplemented Receivables at their respective APRs and due during such Collection
Period. "Required Rate" means, with respect to each Collection Period, 3.94%.
"Yield Supplemented Receivable" means any Receivable that has an APR less than
the Required Rate.

         2.       On or before the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall
establish and maintain with the Securities Intermediary and pledge to the
Indenture Trustee a segregated trust account in the name of the Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (the "Yield Supplement Account") in
accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement to secure the payment
of interest on the Notes, or such other account as may be acceptable to the
Rating

Agencies, and the Trust hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of the Noteholders a first priority security interest in the Yield
Supplement Account and the monies on deposit and the other property that from
time to time comprise the Yield Supplement Account (including the Initial Yield
Supplement Amount), and any and all proceeds thereof (collectively, the "Yield
Supplement Account Property"). The Indenture Trustee shall possess all of the
rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto. The Yield
Supplement Account Property and the Yield Supplement Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Company, the
Trust nor any Person claiming by, through or under the Company or the Trust
shall have any right, title or interest in, any control over the use of, or any
right to withdraw from amounts from, the Yield Supplement Account Property or
the Yield Supplement Account. All Yield Supplement Account Property in the Yield
Supplement Account shall be applied by the Relevant Trustee as specified in this
Yield Supplement Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Relevant
Trustee shall, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the Business Day
preceding each Distribution Date, withdraw from the Yield Supplement Account and
deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Yield Supplement
Deposit plus the amount of reinvestment income on the Yield Supplement Account
for such Distribution Date.

         3.       On or prior to the date hereof, the Company shall make a
capital contribution to the Trust of $46,715.950.62 (the "Initial Yield
Supplement Amount"), by depositing such amount into the Yield Supplement
Account. The amount required to be on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account on
the date of issuance of the Notes and for each Distribution Date until the Notes
of all Classes have been paid in full or the Indenture is otherwise terminated
(the "Required Yield Supplement Amount"), as determined by the Servicer and
notified to the Relevant Trustee, means an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
aggregate amount of each Yield Supplement Deposit that will become due on each
future Distribution Date, assuming that payments on the Receivables are made on
their scheduled due dates, no Receivable becomes a prepaid Receivable and a
discount rate of 0.75%, and (ii) the Initial Yield Supplement Amount. The
Required Yield Supplement Amount may decline as a result of prepayments or
repayments in full of the Receivables. The Relevant Trustee shall have no duty
or liability to determine the Required Yield Supplement Amount and may fully
rely on the determination thereof by the Servicer. If, on any Distribution Date,
the funds in the Yield Supplement Account are in excess of the Required Yield
Supplement Amount for such Distribution Date after giving effect to all
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall
deposit the amount of such excess into the Collection Account for distribution
by the Relevant Trustee in accordance with the terms of Sections 5.06(c), (d),
(e) and (h) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Yield Supplement Account
shall be part of the Trust. It is the intent of the parties that the Yield
Supplement Account Property be treated as property of the Trust for all federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes. The provisions of this Yield
Supplement Agreement should be interpreted accordingly. Further, the Trust shall
include in its gross income all income earned on the Yield Supplement Account
Property and the Yield Supplement Account.

         4.       All or a portion of the Yield Supplement Account may be
invested and reinvested in the manner specified in Section 5.08 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement in accordance with written instructions from the Servicer or
the Secured Party (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement) under
the Securities Account Control Agreement, as the case may be. All such
investments shall be made in the name of the Relevant Trustee. Earnings 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. 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 to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, which amounts the Owner Trustee shall deposit into the Trust
Collection Account, and the Company shall have no further obligation to pay to
the Servicer the Servicing Payment Deposit. 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.

         5.       Our agreements set forth in this Yield Supplement Agreement
are our primary obligations and such obligations are irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff or defense
(other than full and strict compliance by us with our obligations hereunder) and
shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be
released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstances or condition
whatsoever.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,

OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
