	 		4		(Nissan 2015-A Administration Agreement)









 
other appropriate persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver
pursuant to the Basic Documents (other than any notice required to be delivered by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.07, 6.03(e) and 10.04 of the Trust Agreement), and at the request of the Owner Trustee shall take all appropriate action that

administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Collateral (including the Basic Documents) as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and
are reasonably within the capability of the Administrator. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Basic
Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall be responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder as
contemplated in Section 5.02(c) of the Trust Agreement. Any such notice shall specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee pursuant to such provision. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Basic Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall be responsible
for performance of the duties of the Administrator set forth in Section 5.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among other things, accounting and reports to the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that the Owner Trustee shall remain exclusively responsible for the mailing of the Schedule K-1s necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. 

(iv) If any Certificateholder is not the Administrator or any of its Affiliates, the Administrator may satisfy its obligations
with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above and under the Trust Agreement by retaining, at the expense of the Administrator, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) which shall perform the obligations of the
Administrator thereunder. 
 In connection with paragraph (ii) above, if any Certificateholder is not the Administrator
or any of its Affiliates, then the Administrator will cause the Accountants to provide, prior to December 1 of each year, a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to whether any tax withholding is then required and,
if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update the letter in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any
previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required. 

  

					
	 		5		(Nissan 2015-A Administration Agreement)









 (v) The Administrator shall perform the duties of the Administrator specified in

may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. 
 (viii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its
other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any
directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties. 
  

	 	(c)	Non-Ministerial Matters. 

 (i) With respect to matters that in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action the Administrator shall have notified the Owner Trustee of the proposed action
and the Owner Trustee shall not have withheld consent thereto or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation: 

(A) the amendment of the Indenture or execution of any supplement to the Indenture;

11. AMENDMENTS. 
  

	 	(a)	Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Issuer, the Administrator, and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Owner Trustee but without the consent of any Noteholder or Certificateholder or
any other Person, subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions: 

 (i) the Administrator
delivers an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 

(ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment; 

provided, however, that in the event any Certificates are held by anyone other than the Administrator or any of its Affiliates, this Agreement
may only be amended by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee if, in addition, (i) the Holders of the Certificates evidencing a majority of the Certificate Balance consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall
not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders.

	 		10		(Nissan 2015-A Administration Agreement)









 (ii) the Holders of the Certificates evidencing a majority of the Certificate

 It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 12. SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement may not
be assigned by the Administrator unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and the conditions precedent to appointment of a successor Administrator set forth in
Section 8 are satisfied. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the
Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said
assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto. 

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference
to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. 

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

15. HEADINGS. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning,
construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 16. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall
together constitute but one and the same agreement.
