(Nissan ______ Purchase Agreement)

                    (ii) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in Schedule A
to this Agreement was true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of
business on the Cut-off Date; the Receivables were selected from the Seller’s retail
installment sale contracts (other than contracts originated in New York and Tennessee)
meeting the criteria of the Trust set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and no
selection procedures believed to be adverse to the Securityholders [and the Swap
Counterparty] were utilized in selecting the Receivables.




                    (iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable, the origination of such Receivable,
and the sale of the Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or made and at
the execution of this Agreement complies in all material respects with all requirements of
applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws,
the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s
Regulations B and Z, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and state adaptations of the National
Consumer Credit Protection Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, state “Lemon Laws”
designed to prevent fraud in the sale of automobiles and other consumer credit laws and
equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.




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




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




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




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



(Nissan ______ Purchase Agreement)




7









 






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




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




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




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




                    (xii) Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the
Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of
the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the
Seller under any bankruptcy law. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein
contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of
all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof, the Purchaser shall have good and
marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others. Each
Receivable File contains the original certificate of title (or a photocopy or image thereof)
or evidence that an application for a certificate of title has been filed. To the extent
that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement is deemed to be other than a
sale, this Agreement and all filings described under this Agreement creates a valid and
continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor
of the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as
such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller




                    (xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or shall be
subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of
such Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement are
unlawful, void or voidable.



(Nissan ______ Purchase Agreement)

                    (xiv) All Filings Made. All actions have been taken, and all filings
(including, without limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction have been made or
have been delivered in form suitable for filing to the Purchaser to give the Purchaser a
first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables.




                    (xv) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes either a “tangible chattel
paper” or “electronic chattel paper”, as such terms are defined in the UCC.




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




                    (xvii) One Original or Authoritative Copy. There is only one original executed
copy of each Receivable that is tangible chattel paper and a single “authoritative copy” (as
such terms are used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of each Receivable that is electronic
chattel paper and such electronic chattel paper was not in the form of tangible chattel
paper prior to being created as electronic chattel paper.




                    (xviii) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended such that the amount of
the Obligor’s Scheduled Payments has been increased.




                    (xix) APR. The Annual Percentage Rate of each Receivable equals or exceeds
0.000%.




                    (xx) Maturity. As of the Cut-off Date, each Receivable had a remaining term to
maturity of not less than 3 payments and not greater than [70] payments.




                    (xxi) Balance. Each Receivable had an original principal balance of not more

were conveyed to Nissan Warehouse LLC and reconveyed by Nissan Warehouse LLC to the Seller
in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Note Purchase, Security and
Administration Agreement (Retail Installment Receivables), dated as of August 9, 2001, as
amended, by and among Nissan Warehouse LLC, NMAC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly known
as Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, and certain purchasers and funding agents
specified therein). The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any

original copies that constitute or evidence the Receivables. The Seller is identified as
the “owner of record” on the electronic chattel paper and the Seller has “control” of the
electronic chattel paper as defined in Section 9-105 of the UCC. The Receivable Files that
constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that
they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other

favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement

rights of the Purchaser.”




                    (xxxii) No Government Obligors. None of the Receivables shall be due from the

any such amendment. The Seller shall at all times maintain its principal executive office within
the United States of America.



                    (d) The Seller shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale
hereunder of the Receivables to the Purchaser, the Seller’s master computer records that refer to a
Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser in such Receivable and that such
Receivable is owned by the Purchaser. The Seller shall at all times maintain control of the

to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest
therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and
under such Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller;
provided, however, that the Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall
terminate upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



                    5.3 Costs and Expenses. The Seller agrees to pay all reasonable costs and

corporation, tangible personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but not including any taxes
asserted with respect to ownership of the Receivables or federal or other taxes arising out of the

                    (d) The Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any

duties under this Agreement.



                    (e) The Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against all
Damages arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or performance of the Seller’s

otherwise have.

Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the Seller under this Section 5.4, notify the Seller of the
commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this
Section 5.4 and it notifies the Seller of the commencement thereof, the Seller will assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless
there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is an
unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and the Seller will not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.4 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than
reasonable costs of investigation. The obligations set forth in this Section 5.4 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 5.4 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any
of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without
interest (except to the extent received by such Person).

                         6.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser in exercising any
power, right or remedy under this Agreement or the Assignment shall operate as a waiver hereof or
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any
other or further exercise hereof or thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not waive any breach of

sale of the Receivables on all of its relevant books, records, financial statements and other
applicable documents, except to the extent otherwise required by generally accepted accounting

conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. This Agreement shall be deemed to be
the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have all
