          (iii) to pay interest on and principal of the Notes;




          (iv) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge mortgage and convey the Owner Trust Estate

or connected therewith;

activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Owner Trust Estate and
the making of distributions to the Swap Counterparty, the Trust Certificateholders and the

Entity only from the states of Delaware, California or New York. The only principal office of the

in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business requires such qualifications, except when

Depositor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject
to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless
of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or law.



     (e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement do not conflict with or breach any of the terms
or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
certificate of formation or limited liability agreement of the Depositor, any material indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor
result in the creation or imposition of any material 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, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation
applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or State regulatory body, administrative
agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its
properties, which breach, default, conflict, Lien or violation in any case would have a material
adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement.



     (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the
Depositor’s knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties: (i)
asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which it is
party; (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the Trust Certificates or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Basic
Documents to which it is a party; (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would be likely
materially and adversely to affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or
the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents to which it
is a party; or (iv) relating to the Depositor and that would be likely materially and adversely to
affect the federal income tax or any state income tax attributes of the Issuing Entity, the Notes
or the Trust Certificates.



     (g) Independent Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Depositor’s
Formation Documents, the Depositor shall ensure that at least one manager of the Depositor shall be
an Independent Manager.

     SECTION 2.11 Power of Attorney. Pursuant to the Trust Administration Agreement, the
Owner Trustee has authorized the Administrative Agent to perform certain of its administrative
duties hereunder, including duties with respect to the management of the Owner Trust Estate, and in
connection therewith hereby grants the Administrative Agent its revocable power of attorney. Each
Trust Certificateholder by such Holder’s acceptance of any Trust Certificate or beneficial interest
therein, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have granted power of attorney to the
Administrative Agent for purposes of actions taken or to be taken with respect to the Trust
Certificates.



ARTICLE THREE




TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS




     SECTION 3.01 Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Issuing Entity by the
contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.06 and until the issuance of the Trust
Certificates, the Depositor shall be sole beneficiary of the Issuing Entity.



     SECTION 3.02 The Trust Certificates.



     (a) The Trust Certificates shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A,
in minimum denominations of $250,000. Except for the issuance of the Trust Certificate to the
Depositor, no Trust Certificate may be sold, pledged, exchanged or otherwise transferred to any
Person except in accordance with Sections 3.04 and 3.10 and any attempted sale,
pledge, exchange or transfer (each referred to hereinafter as a “transfer”) in violation of such
Sections shall be null and void. The Trust Certificate shall be issued in the name of the
Depositor. Upon delivery to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of a
letter in the form of Exhibit C, any Trust Certificate shall be reissued in the name and in the
denomination set forth in such letter.



     (b) The Trust Certificates may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, and may be executed on behalf of the Issuing Entity by manual or facsimile
signature of an Authenticating Agent. Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Issuing Entity, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates. If registration of a
transfer of a Trust Certificate is permitted pursuant to Section 3.04 and Section
3.10, the transferee of such Trust Certificate shall become a Trust Certificateholder and shall
be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Trust Certificateholder hereunder,
upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name
pursuant to Section 3.04.



     SECTION 3.03 Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificates. Concurrently with the
transfer of the 2007-A SUBI Certificate to the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be
executed on behalf of the Issuing Entity to the Depositor the Trust Certificate in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Initial Trust Certificate Balance, authenticated and delivered to or



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




6









 







upon the written, order of the Depositor, in authorized denominations, evidencing the entire
ownership of the Issuing Entity. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under
this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust
Certificate a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A,
executed by the Owner Trustee or its Authenticating Agent, by manual or facsimile signature; and
such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Trust
Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates
shall be dated the date of their authentication. Upon issuance, execution and delivery pursuant to
the terms hereof, the Trust Certificates shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. The
Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Authenticating Agent of the Owner Trustee hereunder,
and all references herein to authentication by the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to include the
Authenticating Agent.



     SECTION 3.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.



     (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a register (the “Certificate Register”), in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and, if and to the extent transfers are
permitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.10, the registration of
transfers of Trust Certificates. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be recognized except upon
registration of such transfer. Wilmington Trust Company is hereby appointed as the initial
Certificate Registrar. The Certificate Registrar hereby agrees to notify the Paying Agent in
writing of any changes to the Registered Holders of the Trust Certificates. If the Certificate
Registrar shall for any reason become unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Registrar shall give prompt written notice to such effect to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and
the Servicer. The Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor, which shall be another trust
company or bank, and shall agree to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to it as successor Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.



     (b) Each Trust Certificate shall bear a legend regarding transfers to the effect of the legend
on the form of Trust Certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto, unless determined otherwise
by the Servicer (as certified to the Certificate Registrar in an Officer’s Certificate) consistent
with applicable law.



     If and to the extent transfers are permitted pursuant to Section 3.10, as a condition
to the registration of any transfer of a Trust Certificate, the prospective transferee shall be
required to represent in writing to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar
the following:




          (i) It has neither acquired nor will it transfer any Trust Certificate it purchases (or
any interest therein) or cause any such Trust Certificates (or any interest therein) to be
marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section
7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the counter-market or an
interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




7









 






          (ii) It either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation
or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (B) is such an entity, but none of
the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have
allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or such other percentage as the
Depositor may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such
interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Trust Certificates.




          (iii) It understands that no subsequent transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted
unless (A) such transfer is of a Trust Certificate with a denomination of at least $250,000,
(B) it causes its proposed transferee to provide to the Issuing Entity and the Certificate.
Registrar a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, or such other written
statement as the Depositor shall prescribe and (C) the Depositor consents in writing to the
proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Depositor determines that such
transfer would create a risk that the Issuing Entity or the Titling Trust would be
classified for federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly
traded partnership) taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that any
attempted transfer that would either cause (1) the number of registered holders of Trust
Certificates to exceed 95 or (2) the number of holders of direct or indirect interests in
the Titling Trust to exceed 50, shall be a void transfer.




          (iv) It understands that the Opinion of Counsel to the Issuing Entity that the Issuing
Entity is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on
the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above.




          (v) It is not a Benefit Plan, will not acquire or hold the Trust Certificates being
transferred on behalf of or with “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29. C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of a Benefit Plan, and is not a Person
acting on behalf of such a Benefit Plan nor using the assets of such a Benefit Plan to
effect such transfer;




          (vi) If it is a governmental plan, foreign plan or any other plan that is subject to
any applicable law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code (“Similar Law”), its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Trust Certificates
will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under, or a violation of, Similar Law.




          (vii) It is a Person who is either (A)(1) a citizen or resident of the United States,
(2) a corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof or (3) a Person not described in (A)(1) or (2)
whose ownership of the Trust Certificates is effectively connected with such Person’s
conduct of a trade or business within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) and
its ownership of any interest in a Trust Certificate will not result in any withholding
obligation with respect to any payments with respect to the Trust Certificates by any Person
(other than withholding, if any, under Section 1446 of the Code) or (B) an estate or trust
the income of which is includible in gross income for federal income tax

purposes, regardless of source or a trust if a court within the United States is able
to exercise primary supervision of the administration of the trust and one or more “U.S.
persons” (as such term is defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the Issuing Entity. It agrees that it will provide a certification of
non-foreign status signed under penalty of perjury and, alternatively, that if it is a
Person described in clause (A)(3) above, it will furnish to the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI and a new IRS Form W-8ECI upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form (and such other certifications,
representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee).




          (viii) It understands that any purported transfer of any Trust Certificate (or any
interest therein) in contravention of any of the restrictions and conditions in this Section
shall be void, and the purported transferee in such transfer shall not be recognized by the
Issuing Entity or any other Person as a Trust Certificateholder for any purpose.



     (c) By acceptance of any Trust Certificate, the related Trust Certificateholder specifically
agrees with and represents to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and Certificate Registrar that no
transfer of such Trust Certificate shall be made unless the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws are complied with, or such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act because the transfer satisfies
one of the following:




          (i) Such transfer is in compliance with Rule 144A, to a transferee who the transferor
reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer that is purchasing for its own
account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and to whom notice is given
that such transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A and (A) the transferor thereof
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar, a Rule 144A
certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B and (B) the transferee executes
and delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar an investment letter
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C.




          (ii) After the appropriate holding period, such transfer is pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act and
the transferee, if requested by the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar, delivers an
Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor.



     (d) The Depositor shall make the Rule 144A Information available to the prospective transferor
and transferee of a Trust Certificate. The Rule 144A Information shall include any or all of the
following items requested by the prospective transferee:




          (i) the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date of such transfer;


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




9









 






          (ii) each Payment Date Certificate delivered to Trust Certificateholders on each
Payment Date preceding such request; and




          (iii) such other information as is reasonably available to the Depositor in order to
comply with requests for information pursuant to Rule 144A.



     None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee is under an obligation
to register any Trust Certificate under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.



     (e) Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Trust Certificate at the
office of the Certificate Registrar and upon compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
relating to such transfer or exchange, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401 (a) of the
UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute and shall, or shall cause the Authenticating Agent to,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Trust Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate face amount dated the date of
such authentication or the Trust Certificates that the Trust Certificateholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive, as the case may be.



     The Certificate Registrar shall require that every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
and accompanied by IRS Form W-8BEN or W-9 or such other form as may be reasonably required in form
satisfactory to the Certificate, Registrar duly executed by the Trust Certificateholder or such
Person’s attorney duly authorized in writing.



     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust
Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.



     The Certificate Registrar shall cancel and retain or destroy, in accordance with the
Certificate Registrar’s retention policy then in effect, all Trust Certificates surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and shall upon written request certify to the Depositor as to
such retention or destruction.



     (f) The provisions of this Section generally are intended, among other things, to prevent the
Issuing Entity from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of
Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (e) and (h), and the
Depositor shall take such intent into account in determining whether or not to consent to any
proposed transfer of any Trust Certificate.



     The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and
the Certificate Registrar shall not register any transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates for a
period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Trust Certificates.



     SECTION 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If any
mutilated Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate
Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust
Certificate and there is



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




10









 







delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust
Certificate has been transferred to a protected purchaser and provided that the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity shall execute
and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the
Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership
interest in the Issuing Entity, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.



     SECTION 3.06 Persons Deemed Trust Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a
Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Trust
Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any of
their respective agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 3.07 Access to List of Trust Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The
Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and
the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, within 15 days after its receipt of a
request therefor from the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee in
writing, a list, in such form as the requesting party may reasonably request, of the names and
addresses of the Trust Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If (i) two or more
Trust Certificateholders or (ii) one or more Trust Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25%
of the Certificate Balance apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that
the applicants desire to communicate with other Trust Certificateholders with respect to their
rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application is accompanied by
a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access
during normal business hours to the current list of Trust Certificateholders. Each Trust
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not
to hold any of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as the case
may be, accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source
from which such information was derived.



     SECTION 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Owner Trustee shall maintain in The
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Trust Certificates and the other Basic
Documents to which the Issuing Entity is a party may be served. The Owner Trustee initially
designates Wilmington Trust Company, c/o Computershare Trust Company of New York, Wall Street
Plaza, 88 Pine Street, 19th Floor, New York, New York, as the office for such purposes. The Owner
Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the other
Trust Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such
office or agency.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)

     SECTION 3.09 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions
to the Trust Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02, and shall report the amounts of
such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to
withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above. The Paying Agent initially shall be U.S. Bank. The Owner Trustee
may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole
discretion that the Paying Agent has failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any
material respect. Any co-paying agent chosen by the Depositor and acceptable to the Owner Trustee
shall also be a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent may resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the
Owner Trustee. In the event that a Paying Agent may no longer act as Paying Agent, the Owner
Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).
The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed
by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such
successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying
Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by
it for payment to the Trust Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Trust
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums are paid to the Trust Certificateholders. The
Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying
Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.01 shall apply to the
Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as
Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any
reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
context requires otherwise.



     SECTION 3.10 Ownership by the Depositor of Trust Certificates. The Depositor shall
receive on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 3.02 and shall thereafter retain
beneficial and record ownership of Trust Certificates representing 100% of the Certificate Balance.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any attempted transfer of
any Trust Certificate that would reduce such interest of the Depositor below 100% of the
Certificate Balance shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause one Trust Certificate issued to
the Depositor (representing 100% of the Certificate Balance) to bear a legend stating “THIS
CERTIFICATE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a dissolution or termination
of the Depositor, the Trust Certificates held by it shall be distributed to NMAC without regard to
the provisions of Section 3.02 or this Section 3.10.



     SECTION 3.11 Trust Certificates Held by Issuing Entity, Depositor or Their
Affiliates. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or other Basic Documents, any Trust
Certificates owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an
Affiliate is the Servicer) or any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits
under this Agreement equally and proportionately to the benefits afforded other owners of the Trust
Certificates, except that such Trust Certificates shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the
purpose of determining whether the requisite percentage of Securityholders have given any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or other action under the Basic



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




12









 







Documents (other than the commencement by the Issuing Entity of a voluntary proceeding in
bankruptcy), unless all Securities are owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so
long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) or any of their respective Affiliates.

     (a) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuing Entity and the compromise of any
action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuing Entity (other than an action brought by
the Servicer on behalf of the Titling Trust and Persons having interests in the 2007-A SUBI
Certificate to collect amounts owed under a 2007-A Lease or 2007-A Vehicle);



     (b) the election by the Issuing Entity to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust

     (e) the appointment a successor Owner Trustee or successor Indenture Trustee.



     SECTION 4.02 Action by Trust Certificateholders With Respect to Certain Matters.
Subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 4.04, to the extent the Owner Trustee
or the Issuing Entity is deemed to be the Holder of the 2007-A SUBI Certificate pursuant to the
SUBI Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee or Issuing Entity, as the case may be, shall take such
actions as directed in writing by Trust Certificateholders holding Trust Certificates evidencing an
interest of at least 66 2/3% of the Certificate Balance; provided, however, that so
long as the Lien of the Indenture is outstanding, such direction shall be subject to the consent of
the Indenture Trustee. The Owner Trustee may not, except upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default
subsequent to the payment in full of the Notes and in accordance with the written directions of
Trust Certificateholders holding 100% of the Certificate Balance, remove the Servicer, with respect
to the 2007-A SUBI Assets or appoint a successor Servicer with respect thereto.

the board of managers (including the Independent Managers, as such term is defined in the
Depositor’s limited liability company agreement) of the Depositor) and the delivery to the Owner
Trustee of a written certification by each Trust Certificateholder that such Trust
Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Issuing Entity is insolvent.



     SECTION 4.04 Restrictions on Trust Certificateholders’ Power. The Trust
Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if
such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Issuing Entity or the Owner
Trustee under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or would be contrary to the
purpose of the Issuing Entity as set forth in Section 2.03, nor shall the Owner Trustee be
obligated to follow any such direction, if given.



     SECTION 4.05 Majority Control. Except as expressly provided herein, any action that
may be taken by the Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement may be taken by the Trust
Certificateholders holding not less than a Majority Interest of the Trust Certificates. Except as

this Agreement shall be effective if signed by Trust Certificateholders holding not less than a
Majority Interest of the Certificates at the time of delivery of such notice.

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES




     SECTION 5.01 Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account and Reserve Account.



     (a) The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Certificateholders, shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, at the direction of the Depositor, an Eligible
Account with and in the name of the Owner Trustee which shall be designated the “Certificate
Distribution Account.” The Owner Trustee and the Depositor hereby authorize and direct U.S.

Certificate Distribution Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trust
Certificateholders and shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein
are held for the benefit of the Trust Certificateholders.



     The Owner Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from
time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion
and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Trust Certificateholders. If at any time
the Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Owner Trustee (or the
Depositor on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held
by the Owner Trustee or an Affiliate thereof) shall, within ten Business Days following
notification of such occurrence (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which
each Rating Agency may consent), establish a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible
Account and shall transfer any cash or investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




14









 





     (b) The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, shall establish and maintain an Eligible
Account (initially at U.S. Bank) in the name of the Indenture Trustee until the Outstanding Amount
is reduced to zero, and thereafter, in the name of the Owner Trustee, which is designated as the
“Reserve Account”. The Reserve Account shall be held for the benefit of the Securityholders and the
Swap Counterparty, and shall bear a designation clearly indicating that the funds on deposit
therein are held for the benefit of the Securityholders and the Swap Counterparty.



     The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee
until the Outstanding Amount has been reduced to zero and the payment in full of all amounts due to
the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, and thereafter under the sole
dominion and control of the Owner Trustee. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will use the net
proceeds of the sale of the Notes and the Trust Certificates to make a capital contribution to the
Issuing Entity, which the Issuing Entity shall use to cause the Initial Deposit Amount to be
deposited into the Reserve Account. All deposits to and withdrawals from the Reserve Account shall
be made only upon the terms and conditions of the Basic Documents.



     (c) The Issuing Entity shall take or cause to be taken such further actions, to execute,
deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and
instruments (including, without limitation, the Control Agreement or any UCC financing statements)
as may be determined to be reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Issuing Entity, in order to perfect the interests created by Section 5.01 (b) and otherwise
fully effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Section. The Issuing Entity (or
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Entity) shall:




          (i) promptly execute, deliver and file any financing statements, amendments,
continuation statements, assignments, certificates and other documents with respect to such
interests and perform all such other acts as may be necessary in order to perfect or to
maintain the perfection of its securities interest in the Reserve Account; and

corporate name or any trade name, (B) any change in the location of is chief executive
office or principal place of business or (C) any merger or consolidation or other change in
its identity or corporate structure.



     SECTION 5.02 Application of Issuing Entity Funds.



     (a) Until the Outstanding Amount of the Trust Certificates has been reduced to zero, on each
Payment Date, the Paying Agent (or the Owner Trustee, if there is no Paying Agent) shall pay, to
the extent of funds available, the amount required to be deposited by the Titling Trustee and by
the Indenture Trustee into the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.04 of
the Indenture, after the payment in full of the Notes and all payments to the Swap Counterparty,
for the payment of principal of the Trust Certificates on such Payment Date, pro rata to the Trust
Certificateholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such
Payment Date. On any Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




15









 







Reserve Account, after giving effect to all withdrawals therefrom and deposits thereto in
respect of that Payment Date, exceeds the Reserve Account Requirement, any such excess shall be
released to the Depositor.



     (b) On or after the date on which the Outstanding Amount of the Notes has been reduced to
zero, pursuant to the Indenture and the Control Agreement, dominion and control over the Reserve
Account shall be transferred to the Owner Trustee. On each Payment Date thereafter, all amounts
distributable to the Trust Certificateholders shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee in the
order and priority set forth in Section 8.04(a) of the Indenture and the Owner Trustee
shall comply with Sections 8.04(c) and 8.05(a) of the Indenture.



     On the Payment Date on which the Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, the Owner
Trustee shall release to the Depositor, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as set
forth in Section 7.03), all of the Trust’s right, title, and interest in, to and under the
Reserve Account Property. In addition, on or following the Payment Date on which the Certificate
Balance has been reduced to zero, the Depositor may direct the Owner Trustee in writing to
distribute to it, and upon receipt of such direction the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the
Depositor, the remaining assets of the Issuing Entity.



     (c) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to each Trust Certificateholder a
report (the “Distribution Statement”) provided by the Servicer, based on information in the
Payment Date Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture, that shall
include the following information:




          (i) the amount of SUBI Collections for the related Collection Period and the amounts
allocable to the 2007-A SUBI Certificate;




          (ii) the Certificate Balance on the immediately preceding Payment Date, or if the
current Payment Date is the first Payment Date, on the Closing Date;




          (iii) the aggregate amount of interest accrued and paid on each Class of Notes during
the related Accrual Period;




          (iv) the aggregate amount of principal paid with respect to each Class of Notes and the
Trust Certificates on such Payment Date and the Principal Carryover Shortfall, if any;




          (v) the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the Certificate Balance on the day

          (vi) the Note Factor for each Class of Notes and the Certificate Factor (after giving
effect to payments made on such Payment Date);




          (vii) the Available Funds deposited into the SUBI Collection Account, including amounts
with respect to each of items (i) through (v) of the definition thereof;




          (viii) (A) the Reserve Account Requirement, (B) the Reserve Account Deposit Amount, if
any, (C) the Reserve Account Draw Amount, if any, (D) the balance



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




16









 







on deposit in the Reserve Account on such Payment Date after giving effect to
withdrawals therefrom and deposits thereto in respect of such Payment Date and (E) the
change in such balance from the immediately preceding Payment Date;




          (ix) the Servicing Fee and the Payment Date Advance Reimbursement for the related
Collection Period;




          (x) the amount of Residual Value Losses for the related Collection Period;




          (xi) the amount of Net Swap Receipts and Net Swap Payment, if any;




          (xii) the amount of Senior Swap Termination Payment and Subordinated Swap Termination
Payment, if any;




          (xiii) the amount of Swap Replacement Proceeds, if any; and




          (xiv) the Swap Termination Payment, if any.



     The information required to be delivered by such Distribution Statement may be included with
such other information or reports furnished by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee in connection with
the making of payments pursuant to the other Basic Documents.



     (d) If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuing Entity’s payment (or, if the Issuing
Entity is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, allocations of income) to a
Trust Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Trust
Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and
directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to such Trust Certificateholders,
sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax that is legally owed by the Issuing Entity
(but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the
outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Trust
Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Trust Certificateholders, at the
time it is withheld by the Issuing Entity for remittance to the appropriate taxing authority. If
the Owner Trustee determines that there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with
respect to a distribution (such as any distribution to a “non-U. S. person” (as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code)), the Owner Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in
accordance with this Section. If a Trust Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such
withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Trust Certificateholder in
making such claim so long as such Trust Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for
any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.



     (e) Subject to Section 6.07 of the Indenture and 8.01 hereof, as the case may
be, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall in any way be
held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any
Permitted Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s or
the Owner Trustee’s, as the case may be, failure to make payments on any such Permitted
Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, in its
commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

     SECTION 5.03 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.01(c) respecting the
final payment upon retirement of the Trust Certificates, distributions required to be made to Trust
Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each Trust Certificateholder of record on
the related Record Date by check mailed to such Trust Certificateholder at the address of such
holder appearing on the Certificate Register, except that a Trust Certificateholder having original

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE




     SECTION 6.01 General Authority. The Owner Trustee shall administer the Issuing Entity
in the interest of the Trust Certificateholders, subject to the Lien of the Indenture Trustee, in
accordance with the Basic Documents. Subject to the provisions and limitations of Sections
2.03 and 2.07, the Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver on
behalf of the Issuing Entity the Basic Documents to which the Issuing Entity is to be a party and
each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents
to which the Issuing Entity is to be a party, in each case in such form as the Depositor shall
approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof and the Depositor’s
execution of this Agreement, and on behalf of the Issuing Entity, to direct the Indenture Trustee
to authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000,
Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $200,000,000, and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$365,079,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized to take all actions
required of the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is further
authorized from time to time to take such action on behalf of the Issuing Entity as is permitted by
the Basic Documents and that the Servicer or the Administrative Agent recommends with respect to
the Basic Documents, except to the extent this Agreement expressly requires the consent of the
Trust Certificateholders for such action.



     SECTION 6.02 General Duties. Subject to the provisions and limitations of
Sections 2.03 and 2.07, it shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to
discharge or cause to be discharged all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of the Basic
Documents to which the Issuing Entity is a party and to administer the Issuing Entity in the
interest of the Trust Certificateholders, subject to the Lien of the Indenture Trustee and in
accordance with the provisions of the Basic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the
other Basic Documents to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed in the Trust Administration
Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Issuing Entity or the Owner Trustee
hereunder or under any other Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the
default or failure of the Administrative Agent to carry out its obligations under the Trust
Administration Agreement.



     SECTION 6.03 Action Upon Instruction.



     (a) Subject to Article Four and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the
Depositor may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the administration of the Issuing
Entity subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee,
upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee that shall be specifically required to be
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




19









 





     (b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other
Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by
counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability (unless provided adequate indemnity) on
the part of the Owner Trustee, is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Basic Document or is
otherwise contrary to law or any obligation of the Owner Trustee or the Issuing Entity.



     (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action
permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the Owner Trustee
shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the
Trust Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to
the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of Trust
Certificateholders holding not less than a Majority Interest of the Trust Certificates, the Owner
Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not
have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period
of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice as may be necessary under the circumstances),
it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent
with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents as it shall deem to be in the best interests of
the Trust Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or
inaction.



     (d) If the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or
appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement
or any other Basic Document permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is
incomplete as to the course of action the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate
under the circumstances) to the Trust Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the extent
the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such
instruction received from Trust Certificateholders holding not less than a Majority Interest of the
Trust Certificates and in accordance with Sections 6.04 and 6.05, the Owner Trustee
shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee
shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such
shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under
the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action,
not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the
best interests of the Trust Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such
action or inaction.



     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Depositor or the Trust Certificateholders
to take any action affecting the Owner Trust Estate shall be subject to the rights of the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture.



     SECTION 6.04 No Duties Except as Specified. The Owner Trustee shall not be required
to perform any of the obligations of the Issuing Entity under this Agreement or the other Basic
Documents that are required to be performed by (i) the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or
the 2007-A SUBI Supplement, (ii) the Depositor under this Agreement, the Servicing

20









 







Agreement, the Indenture, the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, or the Back-Up Security
Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent under the Trust Administration Agreement or (iv) the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to
manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with
the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in
connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Issuing Entity is a party, except as
expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction
received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation
statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of
any ownership or security interest in the Owner Trust Estate or to record this Agreement or any
other Basic Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Basic Document,
neither the Indenture Trustee, the Titling Trustee nor the Trust Agent shall be required to
execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the Issuing Entity or any other person any filings,
certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to the
extent permitted by applicable law. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own
cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens (other than
the Lien of the Indenture) on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by or
claims against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership
or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.



     SECTION 6.05 No Action Unless Specifically Authorized. The Owner Trustee shall not
manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate
except in accordance with (i) the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the other Basic Documents to which the Issuing Entity or
the Owner Trustee is a party and (iii) any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.03. In particular, the Owner Trustee shall not transfer, sell,
pledge, assign or convey the 2007-A SUBI Certificate, except as specifically required or permitted
by the Basic Documents.



     SECTION 6.06 Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (i) that is
contrary to the purposes of the Issuing Entity set forth in Section 2.03 or (ii) that, to
the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would (a) affect the treatment of the Notes as debt for
federal income tax purposes, (b) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for federal
income tax purposes or (c) cause the Issuing Entity, the Depositor or the Titling Trust or any
portion thereof to be taxable as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation for federal or state income or franchise tax purposes. The Trust Certificateholders and
the Depositor shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions
of this Section. The Owner Trustee may not (i) initiate or settle any claim or lawsuit involving
the Issuing Entity (unless brought by the Servicer to collect amounts owed under a 2007-A Lease),
(ii) amend the Certificate of Trust (unless such amendment is required to be filed under applicable
law), (iii) amend this Agreement where Trust Certificateholder consent is required, (iv) amend this
Agreement where Trust Certificateholder consent is not required if such amendment materially
adversely affects the Trust Certificateholders, (v) amend any Basic Document other than this
Agreement if such amendment materially adversely affects the Trust Certificateholders, or (vi)
appoint a successor Owner Trustee or successor Indenture Trustee,

Certificateholders and each Rating Agency and (b) Trust Certificateholders holding at least 25% of
the Certificate Balance (which for this purpose shall include Trust Certificates held by the
Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates) do not object in
writing to any such proposed amendment within 30 days of such notice. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Depositor, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates may maintain
normal commercial banking relationships with the Owner Trustee and its Affiliates.

each case in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date. 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
Issuing Entity, 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 (x) the Servicer shall pay in cash
the portion of the Optional Purchase Price that is equal to or greater than the sum of the amounts
specified in clauses (i) through (iii) of the second preceding sentence and (y) the Servicer may
issue a demand note to a Trust Certificateholder pursuant to this Section 9.03 only if such
Certificateholder consents to the receipt of such demand note.



     (b) In connection with an Optional Purchase, the Trust Certificates shall be due and payable
on the related Payment Date, upon furnishing of a notice complying with Section 9.03(c) to
each Trust Certificateholder. The Administrative Agent or the Owner Trustee shall furnish each
Rating Agency notice of such repayment or redemption.



     (c) Notice of repayment or redemption under Section 9.03(b) shall be given (i) by the
Administrative Agent to the Owner Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
transmitted or mailed at least 10 days prior to the related Payment Date and (ii) by the Owner
Trustee to each Trust Certificateholder by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
transmitted or mailed at least 10 days (but no more than 30 days) prior to the related Payment
Date, at such Trust Certificateholder’s or the Depositor’s address appearing in the Certificate
Register.



     All notices of repayment shall state:




          (i) the related Payment Date for the repayment;




          (ii) [reserved];




          (iii) the place where the Trust Certificates to be repaid are to be surrendered for
payment of the Repayment Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Owner Trustee to
be maintained as provided in Section 3.08); and




          (iv) that on the related Payment Date, the Repayment Price will become due and payable
upon each such Trust Certificate.



     Notice of repayment of the Trust Certificates shall be given by the Owner Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Issuing Entity. Failure to give notice of repayment or any defect
therein, to any Trust Certificateholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the repayment of
any Trust Certificate.



     (d) The Trust Certificates to be repaid shall, following notice of repayment as required by
Section 9.03(c) on the related Payment Date, become due and payable at the Repayment Price.

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES




     SECTION 10.01 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall (i)
be a corporation satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (ii)
at all times be able and authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; (iii) have a long-term debt
rating of “A” or higher by Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, or be otherwise acceptable to each
Rating Agency; (iv) have combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; and (v) be subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If the Owner Trustee shall publish
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.



     SECTION 10.02 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee
and the Trust Certificateholders. If, for any reason, Wilmington Trust Company or any of its
Affiliates should assume the duties of the Indenture Trustee, then from that time forward
Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as Owner Trustee, shall resign as Owner Trustee hereunder
if any Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and is necessary to eliminate any conflict of
interest under the TIA with the Indenture Trustee or any other trustee under the Indenture. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner
Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.



     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Administrative Agent, the Depositor or Trust Certificateholders holding not less than a Majority
Interest of the Trust Certificates (which, for this purpose, includes Trust Certificates owned by
the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer)
or any of their respective Affiliates), or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable
to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor or such Trust Certificateholders may remove the Owner Trustee. If
the Owner Trustee shall be removed pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




29









 





     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all
fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide (or shall cause
to be provided) notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.



     SECTION 10.03 Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative
Agent and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this
Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under
this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner
Trustee shall, upon payment of its fees and expenses, deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all
documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor, the
Administrative Agent and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.



     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section
10.01.



     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Depositor shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Trust Certificateholders,
the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency. If the Depositor shall fail to mail such notice
within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.



     SECTION 10.04 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person (i) into which the
Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, (ii) resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party or (iii)
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be
eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The
Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger, conversion, or consolidation to each Rating Agency,
the Indenture Trustee and the Trust Certificateholders.



     SECTION 10.05 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements
of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver
all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner



(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)

Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust
Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Issuing Entity, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If
the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.



     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:



     (a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee
shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee
or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the
Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Owner Trust Estate or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;



     (b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and



     (c) the Depositor and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation
of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.



     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to the
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given
to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Depositor.



     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

TAX MATTERS




     SECTION 11.01 Tax and Accounting Characterization.



     (a) It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Issuing Entity not constitute a separate
entity for federal income tax and state income and franchise tax purposes. It is the intent of the
Depositor and the Trust Certificateholders that the Notes be treated as indebtedness secured by the
2007-A Vehicles and the payments on the 2007-A Leases for federal income tax and state income and
franchise tax purposes. If, however, the Issuing Entity is re-characterized as a separate entity
for federal income tax purposes, it is the intention of the parties that it qualify as a
partnership, with the assets of the partnership being the Owner Trust Estate. The parties agree
that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Issuing Entity shall not file
or cause to be filed annual returns, reports or other forms and will treat the Issuing Entity in a
manner consistent with the characterization that the Issuing Entity is not a separate entity for
tax purposes.



     The Depositor and the Trust Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to
take no action inconsistent with the foregoing intention.



     (b) It is the intent of the Depositor to treat the Trust Certificates as equity interests in
the Issuing Entity for financial accounting purposes.



     SECTION 11.02 Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner.



     (a) If the Issuing Entity shall be required to file federal or other income tax returns as a
partnership, such returns shall be signed by an authorized signatory for the Depositor or such
other Person as shall be required by law to sign such returns of the Issuing Entity.



     (b) By acceptance of its beneficial interest in a Trust Certificate, each Trust
Certificateholder agrees that in the event that the Issuing Entity is classified as a partnership
for federal income tax purposes, the Depositor shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Issuing
Entity pursuant to the Code.



     SECTION 11.03 Tax Reporting. Unless otherwise required by appropriate tax
authorities, the Issuing Entity shall not file or cause to be filed annual or other income or
franchise tax returns and shall not be required to obtain any taxpayer identification number.

MISCELLANEOUS




     SECTION 12.01 Supplements and Amendments.



     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, without the
consent of any other Person; provided that (i) either (A) any amendment that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders shall require the
consent, respectively, of Noteholders evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Notes
voting together as a single class, or of Trust Certificateholders evidencing not less than a
Majority Interest of the Trust Certificates (provided that if the Depositor and its Affiliates do
not hold all of the Trust Certificates, then the Trust Certificates held by the Depositor and its
Affiliates shall not be deemed Outstanding for purposes of this provision) or (B) such amendment
shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the Indenture
Trustee (with respect to the Noteholders) or the Trust Certificateholders, as applicable, adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, as the case may be and (ii) any
amendment that adversely affects the interests of the Servicer, the Swap Counterparty or the
Indenture Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Persons whose interests are
materially and adversely affected, provided, further that an Opinion of Counsel
shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment
or supplement shall not affect the treatment of any outstanding Notes for federal income tax
purposes, or cause the Issuing Entity or the 2007-A SUBI Certificate to be classified as an
association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Noteholders if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the
Officer’s Certificate described in the preceding sentence is provided to the Indenture Trustee.
The consent of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been given if the Depositor does not receive a
written objection from such Person within 10 Business Days after a written request for such consent
shall have been given. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into or
consent to any such amendment that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities
or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.



     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest
in any Note or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Holder of such
Note, or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to any
matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which were
required to consent to such mater before giving effect to such amendment.



     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other
Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or
any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a condition to
any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and the Officer’s
Certificate described in Section 12.01(b)(i)(B) is delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     (d) Not less than 15 days prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Depositor shall provide each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of
such amendment. No later than 10 Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement, the Depositor shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Trust
Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Swap Counterparty and the Owner Trustee.



     (e) This Agreement may also be amended or supplemented from time to time, at the request of
the holders of no less than 66 2/3% of all outstanding Trust Certificates (provided that if the
Depositor and its Affiliates do not hold all of the Trust Certificates, then the Trust Certificates
held by the Depositor and its Affiliates shall not be deemed Outstanding for purposes of this
provision) to approve any trust purpose with respect to the Issuing Entity in addition to the
purpose authorized pursuant to Section 2.03(b), upon not less that 90 days notice to each
Rating Agency and each Noteholder and subject to each of (1) the prior written notice to each
Rating Agency of such action, and (2) the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all
outstanding Notes (including such Notes, if any, owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the
Servicer (as long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and their respective Affiliates), and
provided, further that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment or supplement shall not affect the
treatment of any outstanding Notes for federal income tax purposes, or cause the Issuing Entity or
the 2007-A SUBI Certificate to be classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership)
taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.



     (f) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner 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 that all conditions precedent to the
execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.




(g) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain whether a Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied with respect to any amendment. When the Rating Agency
Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, the Servicer shall deliver to a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and
the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the Officer’ Certificate from the Servicer
that a Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.



     SECTION 12.02 No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate. The Trust Certificateholders
shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Trust Certificateholders
shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to their Trust Certificates only in
accordance with Articles Five and Nine. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any
right, title or interest of the Trust Certificateholders to and in their ownership interest in the
Owner Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any
transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust
Estate.

except to the extent described below.

     This certifies that                      is the registered owner of a                      dollars
nonassessable, fully-paid, beneficial ownership interest in the Nissan Auto Lease Trust 2007-A (the
“Issuing Entity”) formed by Nissan Auto Leasing LLC II, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Depositor”).



     The Issuing Entity was created pursuant to a trust agreement, as amended and restated as of
July 31, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company,
as trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which
is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement of Definitions.



     This Trust Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust Certificates designated as “Asset
Backed Certificates” (the “Trust Certificates”). Also issued under an indenture, dated as
of July 31, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and U.S. Bank National

to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder
of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Trust
Certificateholder is bound. The property of the Issuing Entity primarily includes, among other
things, (i) the 2007-A SUBI Certificate, evidencing a 100% beneficial interest in the 2007-A SUBI,

     The Trust Certificates represent obligations of the Issuing Entity only and do not represent
interests in, recourse to or obligations of the Depositor, the UTI Beneficiary or any of their
respective Affiliates.

     Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), commencing August 15, 2007 (each, a
“Payment Date”), to the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the day preceding each Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”) such Trust
Certificateholder’s percentage interest in the amount to be distributed with respect to the Trust
Certificates on such Payment Date.



     The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive
payments in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders and
the Swap Counterparty as described in the Indenture.



     It is the intent of the Depositor and Trust Certificateholder that the Issuing Entity not
constitute a separate entity for federal income and state income and franchise tax purposes, and
that the Notes be treated as indebtedness for such purposes. If, however, the Issuing Entity is
re-characterized as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes, it is the intention of the
parties to the Trust Agreement that it qualify as a partnership for such purposes. The Depositor
and the other Trust Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to take no
action inconsistent with the foregoing intention.



     Each Trust Certificateholder by accepting a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that prior
to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations under each
Securitized Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against NMAC, the Grantor, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Titling Trust, the
Issuing Entity , any Special Purpose Affiliate or any Beneficiary, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceeding or other Proceeding under any federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law.



     Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement by
check mailed to the Trust Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the
presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as
otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final payment on this
Trust Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such
payment and only upon presentation and surrender of this Trust Certificate at the office or agency
maintained for the purpose by the Owner Trustee in The Borough of Manhattan in the City of New
York.



     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.



     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized
officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the
holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose.



     THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND

[Reverse of Trust Certificate]




     The Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of or an interest in the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, and no recourse may be had
against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein
or in the Trust Agreement or the other Basic Documents. In addition, this Trust Certificate is not
guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries and certain other amounts respecting the assets of the Issuing
Entity, all as more specifically set forth in the Indenture. The Depositor will furnish, upon the
request of any holder of a Trust Certificate, such information as is specified in paragraph (d)(4)
of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Issuing Entity.



     The Trust Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto, without the consent of any other
Person; provided that (i) either (A) any amendment that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders shall require the consent, respectively, of
Noteholders evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Notes voting together as a single
class, or of Trust Certificateholders evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Trust
Certificates (provided that if the Depositor and its Affiliates do not hold all of the Trust
Certificates, then the Trust Certificates held by the Depositor and its Affiliates shall not be
deemed Outstanding for purposes of this provision) or (B) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by
an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the Indenture Trustee (with respect to the
Noteholders) or the Trust Certificateholders, as applicable, materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, as the case may be and (ii) any amendment
that adversely affects the interests of the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee shall require the
prior written consent of the Persons whose interests are adversely affected, provided,
further that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment or supplement shall not affect the treatment of any
outstanding Notes for federal income tax purposes, or cause the Issuing Entity or the 2007-A SUBI
Certificate to be classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect to such amendment and the Officer’s Certificate described in the preceding sentence is
provided to the Indenture Trustee. The consent of the Servicer shall be deemed to have been given
if the Depositor does not receive a written objection from such Person within 10 Business Days
after a written request for such consent shall have been given. The Indenture Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into or consent to any such amendment that affects the Indenture
Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under the Trust Agreement.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal
amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest in any
Note, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Holder of such Note,
or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to any matter
without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which were required
to consent to such mater before giving effect to such amendment.


(NALT 2007-A Amended and Restated Trust Agreement)




A-7









 





     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of the Trust Agreement
may be amended by the Depositor without the consent of any of the Noteholders or
any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable
in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or
regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a
condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and the
Officer’s Certificate described in Section 12.01(b)(i)(B) is delivered to the Indenture Trustee.



     Not less than 15 days prior to the execution of any amendment to the Trust Agreement, the
Depositor shall provide each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later
than 10 Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee.



     The Trust Agreement may also be amended or supplemented from time to time, at the request of
the holders of no less than 66 2/3% of all outstanding Trust Certificates (provided that if the
Depositor and its Affiliates do not hold all of the Trust Certificates, then the Trust Certificates
held by the Depositor and its Affiliates shall not be deemed Outstanding for purposes of this
provision), to approve any trust purpose with respect to the Issuing Entity in addition to the
purpose authorized pursuant to the Trust Agreement, upon not less that 90 days notice to each
Rating Agency and each Noteholder and subject to each of (1) the prior written notice to each
Rating Agency of such action, and (2) the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all
outstanding Notes (including such Notes, if any, owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the
Servicer (as long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and their respective Affiliates), and
provided, further that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment or supplement shall not affect the treatment of any
outstanding Notes for federal income tax purposes, or cause the Issuing Entity or the 2007-A SUBI
Certificate to be classified as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes.



     Prior to the execution of any amendment to the Trust Agreement, the Owner 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 the Trust Agreement and that all conditions precedent to
the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under the Trust Agreement or otherwise.



     The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain whether a Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied with respect to any amendment. When the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied with respect to such amendment, the Servicer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely upon the Officer’ Certificate from the Servicer that a Rating Agency Condition
has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.



     As provided in the Trust Agreement, if and to the extent transfers are permitted and if the
Depositor delivers an Opinion of Counsel that the Trust Certificates are transferable in accordance
with the terms set forth therein, which opinion the Depositor has not determined can be given under
the Internal Revenue Code and existing and proposed regulations thereunder, the

transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender
of this Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the
Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, accompanied by, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Trust Certificateholder hereof or such Trust
Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Trust
Certificates of the same class and in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
interest in the Issuing Entity will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate
Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company.



     The Trust Certificates are issuable only as registered Trust Certificates without coupons in
minimum denominations of $250,000. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Trust Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates of
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.



     The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any of their respective
agents may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and
any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.



     The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the trust created
thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Trust Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Indenture and the disposition of all property
held as part of the Owner Trust Estate.



     Any prospective transferee of a Trust Certificate will be required to deliver a letter to the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trust
Agreement, which letter includes a representation that such prospective transferee is not a Benefit
Plan. The Trust Certificates may not be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed to or for
the account of a Benefit Plan.



     The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by a Benefit Plan. By accepting and holding this
Trust Certificate, the holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is
not a Benefit Plan and is not acquiring this Trust Certificate or an interest therein for the
account of a Benefit Plan. If the holder hereof is a governmental plan, foreign plan or any other
plan that is subject to Similar Law, it shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that its
acquisition, holding and disposition of this Trust Certificate or an interest therein will not
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under, or a violation of, Similar Law.

that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (as defined in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (c) any entity deemed to
hold the “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section
3(42) of ERISA) of any of the foregoing (each, a “Benefit Plan”). If the Purchaser is a
governmental plan, foreign plan or any other plan that is subject to any applicable law that is
substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), its
acquisition, holding and disposition of any Certificate or an interest therein will not result
in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under, or a violation of, Similar Law.

     7. The Purchaser has neither acquired nor will it transfer any Certificate it purchases (or
any interest therein) or cause any such Certificates (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or
through an “established securities market “within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code,
including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that
regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.



     8. The Purchaser either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S
corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (B) is such an entity, but
none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have
allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or such other percentage as the Depositor
may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests to be
attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Certificates.



     9. The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Certificates is permitted
unless (A) such transfer is of a Certificate with a denomination of at least $250,000, (B) it
causes its proposed transferee to provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar a letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement, as applicable, or such other written
statement as the Depositor shall prescribe and (C) the Depositor consents in writing to the
proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Depositor determines that such
transfer would create a risk that the Issuing Entity or the Titling Trust would be classified for
federal or any applicable state tax purposes as an association (or a publicly traded partnership)
taxable, as a corporation; provided, however, that any attempted transfer that
would either cause (1) the number of registered holders of Certificates to exceed 95 or (2) the
number of holders of direct or indirect interests in the Titling Trust to exceed 50, shall be a
void transfer.



     10. The Purchaser understands that the opinion of counsel to the Issuing Entity that the
Issuing Entity is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part
on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 above.



     11. The Purchaser is a Person who is either (A)(1) a citizen or resident of the United States,
(2) a corporation, partnership or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof or (3) a Person not described in (A)(1) or (2) whose ownership
of the Certificates is effectively connected with such Person’s conduct of a trade or business
within the United States (within the meaning of the Code) and its ownership of any interest in a
Certificate will not result in any withholding obligation with respect to any payments with respect
to the Certificates by any Person (other than withholding, if any, under Section 1446 of the Code)
or (B) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes
regardless of source or a trust if the court within the United States is able to exercise primary
supervision of the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the Issuing Entity. It agrees that it will
provide a certification of non-foreign status signed under penalty of perjury and, alternatively,
that if it is a Person described in clause (A)(3) above, it will furnish to the Depositor and the
Owner Trustee a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI and a new W-8ECI upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form (and such other
certifications, representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by the Depositor
and the Owner Trustee).

     12. The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes to transfer or exchange
any of the Certificates, it will not transfer or exchange any of the Certificates unless such
transfer or exchange is in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Trust Agreement. The Purchaser
understands that any purported transfer of the Certificates (or any interest therein) in
contravention of any of the restrictions and conditions in the Trust Agreement, as applicable,
shall be a void, and the purported transferee in such transfer shall not be recognized by the
Issuing Entity or any other Person as a Certificateholder, as the case may, be for any purpose.



     13. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably requests you to arrange for definitive Certificates
representing the Certificates purchased by the Purchaser to be registered and delivered promptly
after the Closing Date as follows:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Principal Amount of	 	Registered in	 	Deliver Definitive

     You and the Owner Trustee are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized
to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal
proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
