TRANSFER OF 2010-A SUBI CERTIFICATE




     Section 2.01 Transfer of 2010-A SUBI Certificate.



     In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of
$947,568,199.56 (the “Transfer Price”) consisting of $743,551,675.30 in cash by federal
wire transfer (same day) funds, of which an amount equal to approximately 21.5305% of the Transfer
Price will represent the proceeds of a capital contribution from NMAC to the Transferee, the
Transferor hereby absolutely sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Transferee,
without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth
above, all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the
“Assets”):




     (i) the 2010-A SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2010-A SUBI represented
thereby, including all monies due and paid or to become due and paid or payable thereon or
in respect thereof after the Cutoff Date;




     (ii) all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits as holder of the 2010-A SUBI
Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;




     (iii) the right to realize upon any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure
the interest in the 2010-A SUBI represented by the 2010-A SUBI Certificate, as granted in
the 2010-A SUBI Supplement and in the 2010-A SUBI Certificate;




     (iv) all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit

credited to the foregoing; and




     (v) all cash and non-cash proceeds of all of the foregoing.



     Section 2.02 True Sale. The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer, and
assignment of the Assets constitutes a true sale and assignment of the Assets such that any
interest in and title to the Assets would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in the event
that the Transferor becomes a debtor in a case under any bankruptcy law. To the extent that the
conveyance of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as
a financing (i) it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee that the interest conveyed
constitutes a grant of a security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware by
the Transferor to the Transferee to secure the Transfer Price to the Transferor, which security
interest shall be perfected and of a first priority, (ii) the Transferor hereby grants to the
Transferee a security interest in all of its right, title, and privilege and interest in and to the
Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable laws and (iii) the
possession by the Transferee or its agent of the 2010-A SUBI Certificate shall be deemed to be
“possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a



3









 




Person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the
UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction.

ARTICLE THREE

MISCELLANEOUS




     Section 3.01 Amendment.



     (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 shall require the consent of Noteholders
evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Notes voting together as a single class or (B)
such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of NALL II delivered to the
Indenture Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders and (ii) any
amendment that adversely affects the interests of the Trust Certificateholder, the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of each Person whose interests
are adversely affected. 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 Trust Certificateholder or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given if NALL II 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 matter 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 3.01(a)(i)(B) is delivered to the Indenture Trustee.



     (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such
Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such
Person consents to the substance thereof.



8









 





     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, NALL II shall provide each
Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Transferor, 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, NALL II shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee.



     (f) Neither U.S. Bank, as trustee of NILT Trust nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any
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 U.S. Bank and Indenture Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate to that effect, and U.S. Bank and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the
Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer that a Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with
respect to such amendment.



     Section 3.02 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any otherwise applicable
principles of conflict of laws (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).



     Section 3.03 Severability. If one or more of the covenants, agreements, or provisions
of this Agreement shall be, for any reason whatever, held invalid or unenforceable, such provisions
shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, and provisions of this
Agreement, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of such remaining covenants, agreements, and provisions, or the rights of any
parties hereto. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that
renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.



     Section 3.04 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.



     The Transferor acknowledges and agrees that (a) (i) the Transferee may, pursuant to the Trust
SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, transfer and assign the 2010-A SUBI and the 2010-A SUBI Assets
represented thereby and assign its rights under this Agreement to the Issuing Entity and (ii) the
representation, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and the rights of the
Transferee under this Agreement are intended to benefit the Issuing Entity; and (b) (the Issuing
Entity may, pursuant to the Indenture, pledge and grant a security interest in the 2010-A SUBI and
the 2010-A SUBI Assets represented thereby and assign the Transferee’s rights under this Agreement

deliver to the other party such additional documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested,
in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to better assure and confirm unto the
requesting party its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

and be binding upon the parties hereto and each Holder of the 2010-A SUBI Certificate and each
Registered Pledgee, who shall be considered third-party beneficiaries hereof. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, no other Person shall have any right or obligation hereunder.



     Section 3.09 No Petition. Each of the parties hereto 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 the Grantor, the Transferor, the Titling 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.



     This Section shall survive the complete or partial termination of this Agreement, the
resignation or removal of the Titling Trustee and the complete or partial resignation or removal of
the Servicer.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS




     In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the SUBI Certificate
Transfer Agreement, NILT Trust (“NILT Trust”), as transferor, hereby represents, warrants,
and covenants to the Nissan Auto Leasing LLC II (“NALL II”), as transferee, as follows on
the Closing Date:


1. The SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the 2010-A SUBI Certificate in favor of NALL II, which security
interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from NILT Trust.



2. The 2010-A SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated
security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.



3. NILT Trust owns and has good and marketable title to the 2010-A SUBI Certificate free and clear
of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or
similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet
due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are
being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been
established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the
use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of
such proceeding.



4. NILT Trust has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 2010-A SUBI Certificate
hereunder to NALL II required by the terms of the 2010-A SUBI Certificate to the extent that it
constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.



5. NILT Trust has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 2010-A SUBI
Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or
uncertificated security, to the transfer to NALL II of its interest and rights in the 2010-A SUBI
Certificate hereunder.



6. NILT Trust has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the SUBI
Certificate Transfer Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper
filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of
the 2010-A SUBI Certificate from NILT Trust to NALL II and the security interest in the 2010-A SUBI
Certificate granted to NALL II hereunder.



7. To the extent that the 2010-A SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel
paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been
delivered to NALL II.







 









 







8. Other than the transfer of the 2010-A SUBI Certificate from NILT Trust to NALL II under the SUBI
Certificate Transfer Agreement and from NALL II to the Issuing Entity under the Trust SUBI
Certificate Transfer Agreement and the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture, NILT Trust has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or
otherwise conveyed the 2010-A SUBI Certificate. NILT Trust has not authorized the filing of, nor
is aware of, any financing statements against NILT Trust that include a description of collateral
covering the 2010-A SUBI Certificate other than any financing statement relating to any security
interest granted pursuant to the Basic Documents or that has been terminated.



9. No instrument or tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the 2010-A SUBI
Certificate has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.
