         and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend
         that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the
         Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under
         the Receivables, and other property 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 Issuer, and the Issuer
         shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party
         under the UCC.

                  (d) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer
         shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of
         sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the
         Servicer's master computer records that refer to any Receivable
         indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivables and
         that such Receivable is owned by the Issuer and controlled by the
         Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable shall be
         deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and
         only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or
         assigned pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (e) Ownership and control of the Receivables, as between the
         Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders and the
         Certificateholders) shall be governed by the Indenture.

         SECTION 2.02 Custody of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer, upon
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, appoints the Servicer, and the
Servicer accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer as
custodian of the following documents or instruments that are hereby
constructively delivered to the Issuer with respect to each Receivable:

                  (a) the original of such Receivable (or a photocopy or other
         image thereof that the Servicer shall keep on file in accordance with
         its customary procedures) fully executed by the Obligor;

                  (b) the original credit application fully executed by the
         related Obligor (or a photocopy or other image thereof that the
         Servicer shall keep on file in accordance with its customary
         procedures);

                  (c) the original certificate of title (or a photocopy or other
         image thereof or such documents that the Servicer shall keep on file in
         accordance with its customary procedures), evidencing the security
         interest of the Servicer in the related Financed Vehicle; and

                  (d) any and all other documents that the Servicer shall keep
         on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such
         Receivable, the related Obligor or Financed Vehicle.

         SECTION 2.03 Acceptance by Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges its
acceptance pursuant to this Agreement, of all right, title and interest in and
to the Receivables and other property conveyed by the Seller pursuant to this
Agreement and declares and shall declare from and after the date hereof that the
Issuer holds and shall hold such right, title and interest, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                 The Receivables

         SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect
to the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and
warranties as to the Receivables on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and
the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

                  (a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable (i) has
         been originated in the United States of America by a Dealer for the
         retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such
         Dealer's business, has been fully and properly executed by the parties
         thereto, has been purchased by the Seller from NMAC pursuant to the
         Purchase Agreement, which in turn has purchased such Receivables from
         such Dealer under an existing dealer agreement with NMAC, and has been
         validly assigned by such Dealer to NMAC, which in turn has been validly
         assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller in
         accordance with its terms, (ii) created a valid, subsisting and
         enforceable security interest in favor of NMAC in such Financed
         Vehicle, which security interest has been validly assigned pursuant to
         the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller, which in turn has been
         validly assigned by the Seller to the Issuer in accordance with the
         terms hereof, (iii) contains customary and enforceable provisions such
         that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for
         realization against the collateral



                                       24
<PAGE>
         of the benefits of the security, (iv) provides for level monthly
         payments (provided that the payment in the first or last month in the
         life of the Receivable may be minimally different from the level
         payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed over an original term
         of no greater than [___] months, and (v) provides for interest at the
         related APR.

                  (b) 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 Cutoff Date; the
         Receivables were selected at random from NMAC's retail installment sale
         contracts (other than contracts originated in Alabama [or Hawaii])
         meeting the criteria of the Trust set forth in this Agreement; and no
         selection procedures believed to be adverse to the Securityholders were
         utilized in selecting the Receivables.

                  (c) 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 Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act
         of 1940, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z, 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.

                  (d) 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 the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally
         and by general equitable principles.

                  (e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. (i) Immediately
         prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Issuer, each
         Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security
         interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of NMAC as secured party or
         all necessary and 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 NMAC as secured party, and
         (ii) as of the Cutoff Date, according to the records of NMAC, no
         Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and the possession thereof not
         reinstated.

                  (f) 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.

                  (g) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been waived in
         a manner that is prohibited by the provisions of Section 4.01 or that
         would cause such Receivable



                                       25
<PAGE>
         to fail to meet all of the other requirements and warranties made by
         the Seller herein with respect thereto.

                  (h) 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.

                  (i) 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.

                  (j) No Default. Except for payment defaults continuing for a
         period of not more than 29 days as of the Cutoff 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 hereunder).

                  (k) Insurance. NMAC, 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 the related Receivable to maintain such
         insurance.

                  (l) 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 Trust 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 Issuer, for the benefit of the
         Noteholders and the Certificateholders, 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 the transfer and
         assignment contemplated under this Agreement is deemed to be other than
         a sale, this Agreement and all filings described under this Agreement
         create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
         applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Issuer, which
         security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as
         such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

                  (m) 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
         are unlawful, void or voidable.



                                       26
<PAGE>
                  (n) All Filings Made. All filings (including, without
         limitation, UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the
         Relevant Trustee a first priority perfected ownership interest in the
         Receivables have been made or have been delivered in form suitable for
         filing to the Relevant Trustee in a form suitable for filing.

                  (o) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes "tangible
         chattel paper," as such term is defined in the UCC.

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

                  (q) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of
         each Receivable.

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

                  (s) APR. The APR of each Receivable equals or exceeds [__%].

                  (t) Maturity. As of the Cutoff Date, each Receivable had a
         remaining term to maturity of not less than [______] payments and not
         greater than [______] payments.

                  (u) Balance. Each Receivable had an original Principal Balance
         of not more than $[_______] and, as of the Cutoff Date, had a principal
         balance of not less than $[_______] and not more than $[_______].

                  (v) Delinquency. No Receivable was more than 29 days past due
         as of the Cutoff Date and no Receivable has been extended by more than
         two months.

                  (w) Bankruptcy. No Obligor was the subject of a bankruptcy
         proceeding (according to the records of NMAC) as of the Cutoff Date.

                  (x) Transfer. Each Receivable prohibits the sale or transfer
         of the Financed Vehicle without the consent of NMAC.

                  (y) New, Near-New and Used Vehicles. Each Financed Vehicle was
         a new, near-new or used automobile or light-duty truck at the time the
         related Obligor executed the retail installment sale contract.

                  (z) Origination. Each Receivable has an origination date on or
         after [_______].

                  (aa) Receivable Files. The Receivable Files shall be kept at
         one or more of the locations listed in Schedule B hereto. 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 than
         the Issuer. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the
         Seller in favor of the Issuer in connection herewith describing the
         Receivables contain a statement to the



                                       27
<PAGE>
         following effect: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral
         described in this financing statement, except as permitted in the Sale
         and Servicing Agreement, will violate the rights of the Issuer."

                  (bb) Forced-Placed Insurance Premiums. No contract relating to
         any Receivable has had forced-placed insurance premiums added to the
         amount financed.

                  (cc) No Fraud or Misrepresentation. To the knowledge of the
         Seller, no Receivable was originated by a Dealer and sold by such
         Dealer to the Seller with any conduct constituting fraud or
         misrepresentation on the part of such Dealer.

                  (dd) No Further Amounts Owed on the Receivables. No further
         amounts are owed by the Seller to any Obligor under the Receivables.

                  (ee) No Pledge or Assignment of Receivables. Other than the
         security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the
         Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in,
         or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Seller has not
         authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
         against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering
         the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the
         security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder or a financing
         statement as to which the security interest covering the Receivables
         has been released. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
         filings against the Seller.

         SECTION 3.02 Repurchase upon Breach. The Seller, the Servicer or the
Issuer, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and
the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of
the Seller's representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in any
Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the
second Collection Period following such discovery (or, at the Seller's election,
the last day of the first Collection Period following such discovery), the
Seller shall be obligated (whether or not such breach was known to the Seller on
the Closing Date), and the Issuer shall enforce the obligation of the Seller
under this Agreement and, if necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation
of NMAC under the Purchase Agreement, to repurchase any Receivable the
Securityholders' interest in which was materially and adversely affected by the
breach as of such last day. A breach of the representation in Section
3.01(a)(iv), (t) or (u) shall be deemed to affect materially and adversely the
related Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of the Receivables, the
Seller shall remit the Warranty Purchase Payment in the manner specified in
Section 5.05. For purposes of this Section 3.02, the Warranty Purchase Payment
of a Receivable that is not consistent with the Seller's warranty pursuant to
Section 3.01(a)(iv) shall include such additional amount as shall be necessary
to provide the full amount of interest as contemplated therein to the date of
repurchase. The sole remedy of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee (by operation of
the assignment of the Issuer's rights hereunder pursuant to the Indenture) or
any Securityholder with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be to require the Seller to repurchase
Receivables pursuant to this Section and to enforce the obligation of NMAC to
the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

         SECTION 3.03 Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

                  (a) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Receivable Files
         as custodian for the benefit of the Issuer and maintain such accurate
         and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each
         Receivable File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this
         Agreement. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall
         act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that
         the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to
         all comparable automotive receivables that the Servicer services for
         itself or others. In accordance with its customary practices with
         respect to its retail installment sale contracts, the Servicer shall
         conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable
         Files held by it under this Agreement and of the related accounts,
         records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the
         Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee to verify the
         accuracy of the Servicer's record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly
         report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any material failure on
         its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts,
         records and computer systems as herein provided in all material
         respects and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such
         material failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial
         review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
         Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files.

                  (b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall
         maintain each Receivable File at one of its offices specified in
         Schedule B or at such other office as shall be specified to the Owner
         Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by written notice from the Servicer
         not later than 90 days after any change in location. The Servicer shall
         make available to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee or their
         respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the
         Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems
         maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours
         as the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct. The
         Servicer shall permit the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
         their respective agents at any time during normal business hours upon
         reasonable prior notice to inspect, audit and make copies of and
         abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any Receivable.

                  (c) Release of Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the
         continuation of a Servicer Default or to the extent necessary for the
         Indenture Trustee to comply with its obligations under this Agreement,
         the Servicer shall, upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee,
         release any Receivable File to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
         Trustee's agent or the Indenture Trustee's designee, as the case may
         be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as
         soon as practicable.

         SECTION 3.04 Instructions; Authority To Act. The Servicer shall be
deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files
upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 3.05 Custodian's Indemnification. The Servicer, as custodian,
shall indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs
or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any of them as the result of any



                                       29
<PAGE>
improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by
the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be liable to the Owner Trustee for any portion of any such
amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the
Owner Trustee, and the Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for
any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence of the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 3.06 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's
appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date, and shall
continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If
NMAC shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of any Servicer shall have
been terminated under Section 8.01, the appointment of NMAC as custodian may be
terminated by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders of Notes evidencing not
less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (but excluding for purposes
of such calculation and action all Notes held or beneficially owned by NMAC,
NARC II or any of their Affiliates unless all of the Notes are held or
beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates) or, with the
consent of Holders of the Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, by the Owner Trustee or by the Certificateholders
evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance (but excluding for
purposes of such calculation and action all Certificates, held or beneficially
owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates unless all of the Certificates
are held or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates), in
the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Holders may terminate the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01. The Indenture Trustee
or, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer may terminate the
Servicer's appointment as custodian, with cause, at any time upon written
notification to the Servicer, and without cause upon 30 days' prior written
notification to the Servicer. As soon as practicable after any termination of
such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files and the
related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer to the Relevant Trustee
or the agent thereof at such place or places as the Relevant Trustee may
reasonably designate.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                   Administration and Servicing of Receivables

         SECTION 4.01 Duties of Servicer.

                  (a) The Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make
         collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree
         of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all
         comparable receivables that it services for itself or others. Except
         with respect to Defaulted Receivables, Administrative Receivables or
         Warranty Receivables, the Servicer shall not change the amount of or
         reschedule the due date of any Scheduled Payment, change the APR of, or
         extend any Receivable except as provided herein or change any material
         term of a Receivable; provided, however, that:

                           (1) if a default, breach, violation, delinquency or
event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have
occurred or, in the judgment of the



                                       30
<PAGE>
Servicer, is imminent, the Servicer may (A) extend such Receivable for credit
related reasons that would be acceptable to the Servicer with respect to
comparable new, near-new or used automobile or light-duty truck receivables that
it services for itself, but only if (i) the final scheduled payment date of such
Receivable as extended would not be later than the last day of the Collection
Period preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class C
Certificates, and (ii) the rescheduling or extension would not modify the terms
of such Receivable in a manner that would constitute a cancellation of such
Receivable and the creation of a new receivable for federal income tax purposes;
or (B) reduce an Obligor's monthly payment amount in the event of a prepayment
resulting from refunds of credit life and disability insurance premiums and
service contracts and make similar adjustments in an Obligor's payment terms to
the extent required by law; or

                           (2) if at the end of the scheduled term of any
Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final
payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled
payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit
such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of
principal and interest, provided that the last such payment shall be due on or
prior to the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Final Scheduled
Distribution Date for the Class C Certificates; and

                           (3) the Servicer may in its discretion waive any late
payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing a Receivable.

                  (b) The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting
         of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the
         Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending remittance advises to
         Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for
         collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner
         Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and
         making Advances pursuant to Section 5.04.

                  (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
         Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
         of itself, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the
         Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction
         or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other
         comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the
         Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables. If the Servicer shall
         commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer (in the
         case of a Receivable other than an Administrative Receivable or a
         Warranty Receivable) shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically
         assigned, solely for the purpose of collection, such Receivable to the
         Servicer. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be
         held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that
         it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
         enforce such Receivable, the Issuer shall, at the Servicer's expense
         and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing
         suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee or the
         Securityholders. The Issuer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers
         of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to
         enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
         duties hereunder.



                                       31
<PAGE>
                  (d) The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of
         the Trust all licenses, including those required under the Pennsylvania
         Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act and the Maryland Financial Institutions
         Article, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the
         Trust in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and shall make
         all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith
         during the term hereof. Nothing in the foregoing or in any other
         section of this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Servicer
         from implementing new programs, whether on an intermediate, pilot or
         permanent basis, or on a regional or nationwide basis, or from
         modifying its standards, policies and procedures as long as, in each
         case, the Servicer does or would implement such programs or modify its
         standards, policies and procedures in respect of comparable assets
         serviced for itself in the ordinary course of business.

         SECTION 4.02 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall
follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable
receivables that it services for itself or others.

         SECTION 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, the
Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its
customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership
of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer shall
have determined eventual payment in full is unlikely. The Servicer shall follow
such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable in its servicing of comparable receivables, which may include
reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse and selling the related
Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing shall be subject to
the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with the
repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in
its discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Net
Liquidation Proceeds.

         SECTION 4.04 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.
The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take
such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest
created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is
hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such
security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event
of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. If the
assignment of a Receivable to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on
the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a
first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the
Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Trust for the purpose of
perfecting the security interest of the Trust in such Financed Vehicle and
agrees that the Servicer's listing as the secured party on the certificate of
title is in this capacity as agent of the Trust.

         SECTION 4.05 Covenants of Servicer.

                  (a) The Servicer shall not release the Financed Vehicle
         securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such
         Receivable in whole or in part except in the event of payment in full
         by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or repossession.



                                       32
<PAGE>
                  (b) The Servicer shall not do anything to impair the rights of
         the Securityholders in the Receivables.

                  (c) Except with respect to Defaulted Receivables,
         Administrative Receivables or Warranty Receivables, the Servicer shall
         not alter the APR of any Receivable or forgive payments on a
         Receivable. Except as provided in Section 4.01, the Servicer shall not
         modify the number of payments under a Receivable, increase the amount
         financed under a Receivable or extend the due date for any payment on a
         Receivable.

                  (d) If the Servicer shall determine not to make an Advance
         related to delinquency or non-payment of any Receivable pursuant to
         Section 5.04 because it determines that such Advance would not be
         recoverable from subsequent collections on such Receivable, such
         Receivable shall be designated by the Servicer to be a Defaulted
         Receivable, provided that such Receivable otherwise meets the
         definition of a Defaulted Receivable.

         SECTION 4.06 Purchase of Receivables upon Breach. The Servicer or the
Issuer shall inform the other party and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in
writing, upon the discovery of any breach by the Servicer of its obligations
under the second sentence of Section 4.01 or under Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05
that would materially and adversely affect any Receivable. Unless the breach
shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following
such discovery (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the first
Collection Period following discovery), the Servicer shall (whether or not such
breach was known to the Servicer on the Closing Date) purchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. In
consideration of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Administrative
Purchase Payment (as reduced by any Outstanding Advances with respect to such
Receivable) in the manner specified in Section 5.05. For the purposes of this
Section 4.06, the Administrative Purchase Payment shall consist in part of a
release by the Servicer of all rights of reimbursement with respect to
Outstanding Advances with respect to the purchased Receivable. The sole remedy
of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Securityholders
against the Servicer with respect to a breach by the Servicer of its obligations
under the second sentence of Section 4.01 or under Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05
shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this
Section 4.06.

         SECTION 4.07 Servicing Fee and Expenses. As compensation for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive on each Distribution Date the Total Servicing Fee. Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including
fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and independent accountants,
taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with
distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not
expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the
Securityholders).

         SECTION 4.08 Servicer's Certificate.

                  (a) On or before the tenth day of each month (or, if such
         tenth day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business
         Day), the Servicer shall deliver to



                                       33
<PAGE>
         the Owner Trustee, each Paying Agent, [the Swap Counterparty] and the
         Indenture Trustee with a copy to each Rating Agency, a Servicer's
         Certificate containing all information necessary to make the
         distributions pursuant to Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 (including the
         amount of the aggregate collections on the Receivables; the aggregate
         Advances to be made by the Servicer, if any, the aggregate
         Administrative Purchase Payments for any Administrative Receivables to
         be purchased by the Servicer, and the aggregate Warranty Purchase
         Payments for any Warranty Receivables to be purchased by the Seller)
         for the Collection Period preceding the date of such Servicer's
         Certificate, all information necessary for the Owner Trustee to send
         statements to the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee to send
         statements to the Noteholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement or
         Indenture, as the case may be. Each of the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the information in any
         Servicer's Certificate and shall have no duty to confirm or verify the
         contents thereof.

                  (b) Concurrently with delivery of the Servicer's Certificate
         in each month, the Servicer shall deliver to the underwriters of the
         Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Certificates and, if any
         Class D Certificate is held by a Person other than the Seller or any
         Affiliate of the Seller, to such Class D Certificateholder, the Note
         Factor for each Class of Notes, the Certificate Factor for each Class
         of Certificates, and the Pool Factor for each Class of Notes and
         Certificates, in each case as of the close of business on the
         Distribution Date occurring in such month.

         SECTION 4.09 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.

                  (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
         Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies, on or before the
         last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the
         Servicer, beginning [________, ____], with respect to the prior fiscal
         year (or with respect to the initial Officer's Certificate, the period
         from the date of the initial issuance of the Securities to [_________,
         _____]), stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer
         during the preceding 12-month (or shorter) period and of its
         performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
         supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on
         such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
         Agreement throughout such twelve-month (or shorter) period, or, if
         there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
         specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and
         status thereof. A copy of such Officer's Certificate may be obtained by
         any Certificateholder or Noteholder by a request in writing to the
         Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee addressed as set forth in
         Section 10.03 hereof.

                  (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the
         Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, promptly after having
         obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business
         Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any
         event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would
         become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01. The Seller shall deliver
         to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and to each such Rating
         Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no
         event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an
         Officer's Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or
         lapse of time, or both,



                                       34
<PAGE>
         would become an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(ii) or would
         result in any lowering of the ratings described in Section
         5.02(a)(ii)(A).

         SECTION 4.10 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Report.
The Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants, who
may also render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or their Affiliates,
to deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating
Agencies, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each
fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning [________, ____], with respect to the
prior fiscal year (or with respect to the initial reports, the period from the
date of the initial issuance of the Securities to [________, ____]) the
following reports: (a) a report that such firm has audited the consolidated
financial statements of the Servicer in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, that such firm is independent of the Servicer within the
meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and expressing such firm's opinion
thereon; and (b) a report indicating that such firm has examined, in accordance
with standards established by AICPA, management's assertion about the Servicer's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers ("USAP") as such standards relate to automobile and light-duty truck
loans serviced for others, and expressing such firm's opinion on such management
assertion (the "Annual USAP Report"). Upon the request of any Certificateholder
or Note Owner, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be,
shall promptly provide such Certificateholder or Note Owner with a copy of such
Annual USAP Report. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee may rely on the representation of any Person that it is a
Certificateholder or a Note Owner, as the case may be.

         SECTION 4.11 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee access to the Receivable Files in such cases where the Securityholders
shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such
documentation. In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge, but
only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the
respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the
obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure
of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide
access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section.

         SECTION 4.12 Appointment of Subservicer. So long as NMAC acts as the
Servicer, the Servicer may at any time without notice or consent subcontract
substantially all its duties under this Agreement to any corporation more than
50% of the voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Nissan.
The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as servicer under this
Agreement through other subcontractors; provided, however, that no such
delegation or subcontracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibilities
with respect to such duties as to which the Servicer shall remain primarily
responsible with respect thereto.

         SECTION 4.13 Amendments to Schedule of Receivables. If the Servicer,
during any Collection Period, assigns to a Receivable an account number that
differs from the original account number identifying such Receivable on the
Schedule of Receivables, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, on or before the Distribution Date



                                       35
<PAGE>
relating to such Collection Period, an amendment to the Schedule of Receivables
reporting the newly assigned account number, together with the old account
number of each such Receivable. The first such delivery of amendments to the
Schedule of Receivables shall include monthly amendments reporting account
numbers appearing on the Schedule of Receivables with the new account numbers
assigned to such Receivables during any prior Collection Period.

         SECTION 4.14 Acknowledgement by Servicer of its Obligations under the
Indenture. The Servicer hereby agrees and consents to the provisions of the
Indenture applicable to it (including, without limitation, Sections 8.03(a) and
8.03(b) thereof) and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

                                    ARTICLE V
                            Distributions; Accounts;
            Statements to the Certificateholders and the Noteholders

         SECTION 5.01 Establishment of Accounts.

                  (a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account in the name
         of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders. The
         Collection Account shall be a segregated trust account initially
         established with the Indenture Trustee and maintained with the
         Indenture Trustee as long as (i) the deposits of the Indenture Trustee
         have the Required Deposit Rating or (ii) the Collection Account is
         maintained in a segregated trust account in the trust department of the
         Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that all amounts held in the
         Collection Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws,
         rules and regulations and as directed by the Servicer, be invested by
         the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments; otherwise, such amounts
         shall be maintained in cash; provided that if (x) the Servicer shall
         have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in
         the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
         Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the
         Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a Default or Event of
         Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes
         but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to
         the Indenture, or (z) if the Notes shall have been declared due and
         payable following an Event of Default, amounts collected or receivable
         from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05
         of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the
         Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and
         reinvest funds in the Collection Account in one or more Eligible
         Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of
         Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not
         later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date, in
         such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the
         required distributions on the Distribution Date; provided, that if
         permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be
         invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business
         Day preceding the next Distribution Date; provided, however, that such
         investment shall be sold not later than the Business Day preceding the
         next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture
         Trustee, and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer not, to make any
         investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the
         Collection Account unless the security interest granted and perfected
         in such account will



                                       36
<PAGE>
         continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such
         sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
         connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such
         investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
         shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
         acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. Should the
         short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee no
         longer have the Required Deposit Rating then, unless the Collection
         Account is maintained in segregated trust accounts in the trust
         department of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall, with the
         Indenture Trustee's assistance as necessary and within ten Business
         Days of receipt of notice from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture
         Trustee no longer has the Required Deposit Rating, cause the Collection
         Account (i) to be moved to segregated trust accounts in a bank or trust
         company, the short-term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have
         the Required Deposit Rating or (ii) to be moved to the trust department
         of the Indenture Trustee.

                  (b) Earnings on investment of funds in the Collection Account
         shall be paid to the Servicer as servicing compensation, and any losses
         and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit
         in the Collection Account.

                  (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the
         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish and maintain
         the Collection Account as an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of
         and under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a
         designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
         held for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Indenture Trustee
         shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection
         Account on the Distribution Date on which the Notes of all Classes have
         been paid in full (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is
         otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to another Eligible
         Deposit Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the
         benefit of the Certificateholders (the "Trust Collection Account"), and
         to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its
         right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or
         investments held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on
         behalf of the Securityholders, to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of
         the Certificateholders, subject to the limitations set forth in the
         Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to Noteholders that
         do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Distribution Date.
         After the transfer to the Trust Collection Account described in the
         immediately preceding sentence, references in this Agreement to
         "Collection Account" shall be deemed to be references to the "Trust
         Collection Account."

                  (d) With respect to the Collection Account and all property
         held therein, the Owner Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof that,
         on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as
         Notes of any Class remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall
         possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or
         investment income thereon payable to the Servicer or the Seller, as the
         case may be), and the Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and
         control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and
         the Certificateholders, as the case may be, as set forth in the
         Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
         and the Holders of the Class D Certificates have no right, title or
         interest in the Reserve Account



                                       37
<PAGE>
         or any amounts on deposit therein at any time. The parties hereto agree
         that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture
         Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture
         Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and
         payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of permitting the
         Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its
         respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust
         Agreement, as the case may be.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled
to withhold, or to be reimbursed from amounts otherwise payable into or on
deposit in the Collection Account, as the case may be, amounts previously
deposited in the Collection Account but later determined to have resulted from
mistaken deposits or posting.

                  [(e) The Servicer shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish
         and maintain a segregated trust account in the name of the Indenture
         Trustee, which shall be designated as the "Accumulation Account." The
         Accumulation Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
         Noteholders. The Accumulation Account shall be under the sole dominion
         and control of the Indenture Trustee; provided that the Servicer may
         make deposits to and direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make
         withdrawals from the Accumulation Account in accordance with the Basic
         Documents. All monies deposited from time to time in the Accumulation
         Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Trust
         Property and all deposits to and withdrawals from the Accumulation
         Account shall be made only upon the terms and conditions of the Basic
         Documents. ]

                  All amounts held in the Accumulation Account shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, be invested, as
directed in writing by the Servicer, by the bank or trust company then
maintaining the Accumulation Account in Eligible Investments that mature not
later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Distribution Date for the
Collection Period to which such amounts relate and such Eligible Investments
shall be held to maturity. All interest and other income on funds on deposit in
the Accumulation Account shall be withdrawn and deposited in the Collection
Account for distribution on each Distribution Date.

                  (f) The Servicer shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish
         and maintain a segregated trust account in the name of the Indenture
         Trustee, which shall be designated as the "VPTN Proceeds Account." The
         VPTN Proceeds Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
         holders of the subclass of the Class A Notes to be paid on its Targeted
         Scheduled Distribution Date from the proceeds of issuance after the
         Closing Date of VPTNs deposited to such account from time to time. The
         VPTN Proceeds Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of
         the Indenture Trustee; provided that the Servicer may make deposits to
         and direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals from
         the VPTN Proceeds Account in accordance with the Basic Documents. All
         monies deposited from time to time in the VPTN Proceeds Account shall
         be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Trust Property and all
         deposits to and withdrawals from the VPTN Proceeds Account shall be
         made only upon the terms and conditions of the Basic Documents.]

                  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
         Servicer shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments
         received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the
         Receivables (excluding payments on the Warranty Receivables or the
         Administrative Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds not later
         than the first Business Day after receipt thereof. For purposes of this
         Article V, the phrase "payments received by or on behalf of the
         Obligors" shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Servicer.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (i) NMAC is the Servicer,
         (ii) (A) NMAC's short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at
         least "P-1" by Moody's and NMAC's short-term unsecured debt obligations
         (or, if NMAC is the Servicer and the Servicer then has no short-term
         rating from Standard & Poor's, Nissan Capital of America, Inc.'s
         short-term unsecured debt obligations) are rated "A-1" by Standard &
         Poor's (so long as Moody's and Standard & Poor's are Rating Agencies),
         or (B) certain arrangements are made that are acceptable to the Rating
         Agencies, and (iii) no Event of Default or Servicer Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing (unless waived by the appropriate
         Securityholders), except that the requirement in clause (ii) shall not
         apply if only the Class C Certificates are outstanding and the Class C
         Certificates do not have an investment grade rating, (collectively, the
         "Monthly Remittance Conditions"); the Servicer shall not be required to
         remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing daily
         basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without
         segregation from its other funds, until the Business Day before each
         Distribution Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such
         collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the
         Collection Account in immediately available funds. Commencing with the
         first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two
         Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition
         ceases to be satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance
         Condition is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer
         shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all
         future collections on or in respect of the Receivables (other than
         payments on Warranty Receivables and the Administrative Receivables)
         and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to
         the Collection Account on a daily basis not later than the first
         Business Day after receipt thereof.

                  (b) The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall not be
         deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstances under clause
         (iii) of the definition of the Monthly Remittance Condition unless the
         Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee has received notice of such
         event or circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer's
         Certificate or from the Holders of Notes or Certificates evidencing not
         less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Amount of the
         Notes and the aggregate balance of the Certificates, acting together as
         a single class, or a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the
         Owner Trustee with knowledge hereof or familiarity herewith has actual
         knowledge of such event or circumstances.

                  (c) The Servicer shall give the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
         Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice of the failure of any
         Monthly Remittance Condition (and any subsequent curing of a failed
         Monthly Remittance Condition) as soon as practical after the occurrence
         thereof but in no event later than 10 Business Days after obtaining
         knowledge thereof (it being understood that if the Monthly Remittance
         Condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, no such notice shall
         be required in connection therewith).

<PAGE>
                  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Monthly Remittance
         Condition is not satisfied, the Servicer may utilize an alternative
         remittance schedule (which may include the remittance schedule utilized
         by the Servicer before the Monthly Remittance Condition became
         unsatisfied), if the Servicer provides to the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee written confirmation from each Rating Agency that
         such alternative remittance schedule will not result in the downgrading
         or withdrawal by such Rating Agency of the ratings then assigned to any
         Class of Notes or the Class C Certificates.

         SECTION 5.03 Application of Collections. As of the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, all collections for the
related Collection Period with respect to each Receivable shall be applied by
the Servicer as follows:

                  (a) First, to interest accrued to date on such Receivable;

                  (b) Second, to principal until the Principal Balance of such
         Receivable is brought current;

                  (c) Third, to reduce the unpaid late charges (if any) as
         provided in such Receivable; and

                  (d) Fourth, to prepay principal on such Receivable.

         SECTION 5.04 Advances.

                  (a) The Servicer shall make a payment with respect to each
         Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable, a Warranty
         Receivable or a Liquidated Receivable) (each, an "Advance") equal to
         the excess if any, of (x) the product of the Principal Balance of such
         Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and
         one-twelfth of its APR (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
         comprised of twelve 30-day months), over (y) the interest actually
         received by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable from the
         Obligor or from payments of the Administrative Purchase Payment or the
         Warranty Purchase Payment, as the case may be, during such Collection
         Period. The Servicer will not be obligated to make an Advance in
         respect of a Receivable (other than an Advance in respect of an
         interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Receivable) to the
         extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that
         the Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to each
         Receivable, the Advance shall increase the Outstanding Advances. No
         Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of the
         Receivables. The Servicer shall deposit all such Advances into the
         Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than 5:00
         p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
         related Distribution Date. To the extent that the amount set forth in
         clause (y) above with respect to a Receivable is greater than the
         amount set forth in clause (x) above with respect thereto, such amount
         shall be distributed to the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06;
         provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else herein, the
         Servicer shall not be reimbursed for any amounts representing an
         Advance, or any portion thereof, made in respect of an interest
         shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Receivable.



                                       40
<PAGE>
                  (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
         Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable
         from the following sources with respect to such Receivable pursuant to
         Section 5.06(c)(i) or Section 5.06(d)(i): (i) subsequent payments made
         by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds,
         and (iii) the Warranty Purchase Payments.

                  (c) To the extent that the Servicer has determined that any
         Outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer may
         provide to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's
         Certificate setting forth the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance,
         and on the related Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall remit
         to the Servicer from funds on deposit in the Collection Account an
         amount equal to the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to
         Section 5.06(c)(ii) or Section 5.06(d)(ii).

                  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
         Agreement, for so long as NMAC is the Servicer, in lieu of causing the
         Servicer first to deposit and then the Relevant Trustee to remit to the
         Servicer the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) in Section
         5.04(b) reimbursable in respect on Outstanding Advances, or the amounts
         described in Section 5.04(c) applicable in respect of Nonrecoverable
         Advances, the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise
         to be made into the Collection Account.

                  (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.04(a), no
         Successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall be obligated
         to make Advances unless it has expressly agreed to do so in writing.

         SECTION 5.05 Additional Deposits.

                  (a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the
         Collection Account: (i) the Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty
         Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to
         Section 3.02; (ii) the Servicer shall remit (A) the aggregate Advances
         pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (B) the aggregate Administrative Purchase
         Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables pursuant to Section
         4.06, and (C) the amount required upon any optional purchase of the
         Receivables by the Servicer, or any Successor Servicer, pursuant to
         Section 9.01; and (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall transfer (A) the
         Yield Supplement Deposit from the Yield Supplement Account to the
         Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.08, plus reinvestment income
         on the Yield Supplement Account (in assuring the availability therein
         of the related Available Interest), and (B) the amounts described in
         Sections 5.06 and 5.07 from the Reserve Account to the Collection
         Account pursuant to Section 5.07.

                  (b) All deposits required to be made pursuant to this Section
         5.05 by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may be made in
         the form of a single deposit and shall be made in immediately available
         funds, no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day
         immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. At the direction
         of the Servicer, the Relevant Trustee shall invest such amounts in
         Eligible Investments



                                       41
<PAGE>
         maturing not later than 12:00 P.M. New York City Time, on the related
         Distribution Date.

         SECTION 5.06 Payments and Distributions.

                  (a) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
         distributions in respect of the Certificates shall be and hereby are
         subordinated to the rights of the [Class A-1] Noteholders to receive
         distributions in respect of the [Class A-1] Notes to the extent
         provided in this Section 5.06.

                  (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate
         the Available Interest, the Available Principal, the Allocable
         Principal, the Yield Supplement Deposit, the Noteholders' Distributable
         Amount, the Certificateholders' Distributable Amount, the amount to be
         distributed to Noteholders and Certificateholders of each Class
         pursuant to Section 5.06(c) or (d), and all other distributions,
         deposits and withdrawals to be made on the related Distribution Date.

                  (c) Subject to Section 5.06(d), on each Distribution Date, the
         Relevant Trustee shall make the following payments and distributions
         from the Collection Account (after payment of the Supplemental
         Servicing Fee to the extent not previously retained by the Servicer) in
         the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the
         Servicer's Certificate for such Distribution Date; provided, however,
         that such payments and distributions shall be made only from those
         funds deposited in the Collection Account for the related Collection
         Period:

                           (i) to the Servicer, from amounts on deposit in the
         Collection Account, any payments in respect of Advances required to be

         required to be reimbursed and to the extent set forth in Section
         5.04(c);

                           (iii) to the Servicer, from Available Amounts, the
         Base Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Base Servicing Fees from one
         or more prior Collection Periods);

                           (iv) on a pro rata basis (based on the amounts
         distributable pursuant to this clause to each such Class), to the Class

         from the Closing Date is equal to the Original Principal Amount for the
         Class B Notes, such amount to be paid from Available Amounts (after
         giving effect to any reduction in Available Amounts described in
         clauses (iii) through (viii) above);

                           (x) to the Class C Certificateholders, an amount
         equal to the Certificateholders' Interest Distributable Amount for such
         Class, such amount to be paid from Available Amounts (after giving

         Class, such amounts to be paid from Available Amounts (after giving
         effect to any reduction in Available Amounts described in clauses (iii)
         through (xi) above);

         above); and

                           (xiv) any Available Amounts remaining after giving
         effect to the foregoing, to the Seller.

                  (e) For purposes of determining whether an Event of Default
         pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Indenture has occurred, the amount
         of principal required to be paid to the Holders of any Class of Notes
         on any Distribution Date is the amount available to

         (i) the Class A-1 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before
         the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for such Class, meaning that the
         Class A-1 Noteholders are entitled to have received on or before such
         date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to
         the Original Principal Amount for such Class, together with all
         interest accrued thereon through such date; (ii) the Class A-2 Notes
         are required to be paid in full on or before the Final Scheduled
         Distribution Date for such Class, meaning that the Class A-2

         Principal Amount for such Class, together with all interest accrued
         thereon through such date.

                  (f) Except with respect to the final payment upon retirement
         of a Note or Certificate, the Servicer shall on each Distribution Date
         instruct the Relevant Trustee to pay or distribute to each
         Securityholder of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to
         such Securityholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
         Certificate Register or Note Register, as the case may be, (or, if DTC,
         its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant Holder, by wire
         transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to other
         arrangements), the amount to be paid or distributed to such
         Securityholder pursuant to such Holder's Note or Certificate. With
         respect to the final payment upon retirement of a Note or Certificate,
         the Servicer shall on the relevant final Distribution Date instruct the
         Relevant Trustee to pay or distribute the amounts due thereon only upon
         delivery for cancellation of the certificate representing such Note or
         Certificate in accordance with the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as
         the case may be.

         SECTION 5.07 Reserve Account.

                  (a) In order to assure that certain amounts will be available
         to make required payments to Noteholders, the Seller will, pursuant to
         the Securities Account Control Agreement, establish and maintain with
         the Securities Intermediary a segregated trust account (the "Reserve
         Account") in the name of the Indenture Trustee which will include the
         money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to
         Sections 5.06(c), 5.06(d) and this Section 5.07. On or prior to the
         Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount equal to the Reserve
         Account Initial Deposit into the Reserve Account. As and to the extent
         set forth in Section 5.06(c) or (d), the Relevant Trustee will deposit
         Available Amounts into the Reserve Account on each Distribution Date as
         provided in the Servicer's Certificate, until the amount on deposit
         therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each
         Distribution Date, to the extent that amounts in the Collection Account
         and/or Available Amounts, as the case may be, are insufficient to fully
         fund the



                                       46
<PAGE>
         payments and distributions described in clauses (i) through (x) of
         Section 5.06(c) or clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 5.06(d), the
         Relevant Trustee will withdraw amounts then on deposit in the Reserve
         Account, up to the amounts of any such deficiencies, and deposit such
         amounts into the Collection Account for application pursuant to such
         clauses. On each Distribution Date, as provided in the Servicer's
         Certificate, the Relevant Trustee will release to the Seller any
         amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of the
         Specified Reserve Account Balance. Upon the payment in full of the
         Notes under the Indenture, as directed in writing by the Servicer, the
         Relevant Trustee will release to the Seller any amounts remaining on
         deposit in the Reserve Account, and all rights to the Reserve Account
         and all other collateral registered or held therein shall revert to the
         Seller in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement.
         Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Issuer, Owner Trustee,
         Certificateholders, Indenture Trustee and Noteholders will have no
         further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

                  (b) All amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested
         by the Relevant Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in
         Eligible Investments; provided that if (x) the Servicer shall have
         failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the
         Reserve Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or
         such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture
         Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a Default or Event of Default
         shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the
         Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to the
         Indenture, or (z) the Notes shall have been declared due and payable
         following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from
         the Trust Estate are being applied pursuant to Section 5.05 of the
         Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the
         Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and
         reinvest funds in the Reserve Account in one or more Eligible
         Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of
         Eligible Investments. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not
         later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date, in
         such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the
         required deposits on the Distribution Date; provided that if permitted
         by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be invested in
         Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business Day preceding
         the next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Relevant
         Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment
         held in the Reserve Account unless the security interest granted and
         perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such
         investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any
         further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to
         the Relevant Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested
         by the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Relevant
         Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Relevant Trustee, to
         such effect. Earnings, if any, on investment of funds in the Reserve
         Account shall be paid to the Seller, and losses and any investment
         expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. The
         Relevant Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection of
         investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful
         misfeasance. The Relevant Trustee shall have no liability in respect of
         losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior
         to its stated maturity date or the failure of the Servicer to provide
         timely written investment directions.

                  (c) Subject to the right of the Relevant Trustee to make
         withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes
         and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06, the Reserve Account and
         all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the
         property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The
         Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee will
         treat the Reserve Account, all funds therein and all net investment
         income with respect thereto as assets of the Seller for federal income
         tax and all other purposes.

                  (d) The Seller hereby grants to the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Class C
         Certificateholders a security interest in the Reserve Account and all
         funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Reserve Account
         (including the Reserve Account Initial Deposit) and the proceeds
         thereof to secure the payment of interest on and principal of the
         Notes, and the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have all
         of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto;
         provided that all income from the investment of funds in the Reserve
         Account and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller
         and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder. If
         for any reason the Reserve Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit
         Account, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly cause the Reserve Account
         to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the
         Reserve Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.

                  (e) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall
         enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to
         the Reserve Account.

         SECTION 5.08 [Yield Supplement Account.

                  (a) In order to assure that sufficient amounts to make
         required distributions of interest to Noteholders and the Class C
         Certificateholders will be available, the Owner Trustee will, pursuant
         to the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Yield Supplement
         Agreement, establish and maintain with the Securities Intermediary a
         segregated trust account (the "Yield Supplement Account") in the name
         of the Indenture Trustee which will include the money and other
         property deposited and held therein pursuant to the Yield Supplement
         Agreement and this Section 5.08.

                  (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall [[make a
         capital contribution to the Trust by depositing an amount equal to
         $___________] [deposit an amount equal to $_________] [in cash] into
         the Yield Supplement Account][, transfer retail installment sales
         contracts with an aggregate principal balance, as of the Cut-Off Date,
         of $_________ to the Trust] [and transfer receivables [or other assets]
         in an amount, collectively, equal to $__________ to the Trust]
         ([the][collectively,] "Initial Yield Supplement Amount"). [On each
         Distribution Date, the Servicer will deposit payments received with
         respect to the retail installment sales contracts referred to above
         into the Yield Supplement Account.] [On each Distribution Date, the
         Servicer will deposit payments received with respect to those
         receivables [or other assets] referred to above into the Yield
         Supplement Account.] Each Distribution Date, to the extent amounts then
         on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account are sufficient therefor, the
         Relevant Trustee will withdraw amounts then on deposit in the Yield
         Supplement

         Account in an amount equal to the Yield Supplement Deposit with respect
         to such Distribution Date and deposit such amounts into the Collection
         Account for application pursuant to Section 5.06. On each Distribution
         Date, if the amount on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account (after
         giving effect to all deposits thereto or withdrawals therefrom on such
         Distribution Date) is greater than the Required Yield Supplement
         Amount, the Relevant Trustee will deposit such excess into the
         Collection Account for distribution by the Relevant Trustee in
         accordance with the terms of Section 5.06(c). Upon payment in full of
         the Notes under the Indenture, as directed in writing by the Servicer,
         the Indenture Trustee will release any amounts remaining on deposit in
         the Yield Supplement Account, and all rights to the Yield Supplement
         Account and all other collateral registered or held therein to the
         Seller.

                  (c) All amounts held in the Yield Supplement Account shall be
         invested by the Relevant Trustee, as directed in writing by the
         Servicer, in Eligible Investments ; provided that if (x) the Servicer
         shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on
         deposit in the Yield Supplement Account to the Indenture Trustee by
         5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the
         Servicer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day, or (y) a
         Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with
         respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and
         payable pursuant to the Indenture, or (z) the Notes shall have been
         declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts
         collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied
         pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such
         a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent
         practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Yield Supplement Account
         in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clauses (i), (iv) or
         (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments. All such Eligible
         Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the
         next Distribution Date, in such manner that such amounts invested shall
         be available to make the required deposits on the Distribution Date;
         provided that if permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit
         therein may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than
         the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. The Servicer
         will not direct the Relevant Trustee to make any investment of any
         funds or to sell any investment held in the Yield Supplement Account
         unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will
         continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such
         sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
         connection with any direction to the Relevant Trustee to make any such
         investment or sale, if requested by the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer
         shall deliver to the Relevant Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable
         to the Relevant Trustee, to such effect. Earnings, if any, on
         investment of funds in the Yield Supplement Account shall be deposited
         in the Collection Account on each Distribution Date, and losses and any
         investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit
         therein. The Relevant Trustee shall incur no liability for the
         selection of investments or for losses thereon absent its own
         negligence or willful misfeasance. The Relevant Trustee shall have no
         liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation
         of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the failure of
         the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.

         SECTION 6.01 Representations of Seller. The Seller makes the following
representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the
Receivables. The representations speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and as of the Closing



                                       51
<PAGE>
Date, and shall survive the sale of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge
thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Seller has been duly
         organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
         under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and
         authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
         properties are currently owned and such business is presently
         conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, corporate power,
         authority and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables. The
         location of the Seller's chief executive office and principal place of
         business is Torrance, California.

                  (b) Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do
         business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained
         all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the
         ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall
         require such qualifications and where the failure to so qualify would
         have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to perform
         its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) Power and Authority. The Seller has the corporate power
         and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out
         its terms. The Seller has full power and authority to sell and assign
         the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited as part of the
         Owner Trust Estate and has duly authorized such sale and assignment to
         the Trust by all necessary corporate action; and the execution,
         delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by
         the Seller by all necessary corporate action.

                  (d) Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. This Agreement evidences
         a valid sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables, enforceable
         against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller (other than a good
         faith purchaser for value in the ordinary course of business who takes
         actual possession of one or more Receivables); and this Agreement is a
         legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in
         accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
         creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

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

                  (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending, or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, threatened, before
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties:

         Supplement Agreement, the Certificates or the Notes; (ii) seeking to
         prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Notes or the

         Agreement or the Yield Supplement Agreement; (iii) seeking any
         determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
         performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or
         enforceability of, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture,
         the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Yield Supplement
         Agreement, the Certificates or the Notes; or (iv) relating to the
         Seller and that would adversely affect the federal or any state income
         tax attributes of the Issuer, the Certificates or the Notes.

                  (a) The Seller agrees with the Certificateholders, the Note
         Owners and each Rating Agency that the Seller shall not issue any
         securities or deposit assets into a trust that issues any securities,
         the issuance of which could reasonably be expected to materially and
         adversely affect the rating of any Class of Notes or the Class C
         Certificates unless it shall have first obtained the written consent of
         each Rating Agency to the effect that such issuance will not materially
         adversely affect such rating; provided that, the issuance of another
         series of certificates or notes pursuant to agreements with terms
         substantially similar to the terms of the Basic Documents shall not be
         deemed to materially and adversely affect the ratings on the
         Certificates or the Notes. The Seller shall provide a copy of any such
         consent to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

                  (b) The Seller shall not do any of the following (without the
         prior written consent of each Rating Agency (other than Moody's) (which
         consent shall be to the effect that the acts set forth below shall not
         affect materially adversely the rating on any Class of Notes or the
         Class C Certificates) and, upon the Seller's receipt of such written
         consent from each Rating Agency (other than Moody's), the Owner Trustee
         and the Indenture Trustee shall, without any exercise of its own
         discretion, also provide its written consent to the Seller (promptly
         after the occurrence of any of the following, the Seller shall provide
         notice of such occurrence to Moody's, so long as Moody's is then rating
         any outstanding Notes or Certificates)):

those set forth in Article Three of the Seller's Certificate of Incorporation,

indebtedness agree that their interest is subordinate to claims or rights of

         SECTION 6.03 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement.

                  (a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
         Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee from and against any
         taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such Person with
         respect to, as of the date hereof, the sale of the Receivables to the
         Trust or the issuance and original sale of the Notes and the
         Certificates, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation,
         tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes (but, in the
         case of the Trust, not including any taxes asserted with respect to
         ownership of the Receivables or federal or other income taxes arising
         out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Basic
         Documents) and costs and expenses in defending against the same.

                  (b) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the
         Certificateholders and the Noteholders from and against any loss,
         liability or expense incurred by reason of (i) the Seller's willful
         misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties
         under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its
         obligations and duties under this Agreement and (ii) the Seller's or
         the Issuer's violation of federal or state securities laws in
         connection with the registration or the sale of the Certificates and
         the Notes.

                  Indemnification under this Section 6.03 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation.



                                       55
<PAGE>
If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payment to any Person entitled
thereto pursuant to this Section 6.03 and such Person thereafter shall collect
any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts
to the Seller, without interest (except to the extent the recipient collects
interest from others).

                  Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this
Section 6.03 (for purposes of this paragraph, an "Indemnified Party") of notice
of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to
be made in respect thereof against the Seller under this Section 6.03, notify
the Seller of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against
any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.03 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 a conflict of interest, be counsel to the Seller), and the Seller will not be
liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 6.03 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 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
or the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee 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 6.03 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).

         SECTION 6.04 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, Seller. Subject to Section 6.02, any Person (i) into which the
Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the
business of the Seller or (iv) that is a corporation more than 50% of the voting
stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by Nissan, which Person in any of
the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every
obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the
Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or
any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided,
however, that (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall have been
breached and no Servicer Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing, (y) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that such consolidation,
merger or succession and such agreement or assumption comply with this Section
6.04 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement
relating to such transaction have been complied with and (z) the Seller shall
have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on
customary qualifications and assumptions, all financing statements and
continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that
are necessary fully to perfect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such
filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action
shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Seller shall
provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this
Section 6.04 to each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of



                                       56
<PAGE>
assumption and compliance with clauses (x), (y) and (z) above shall be
conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) above.

         SECTION 6.05 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.

                  (a) Neither the Seller nor any of the directors, officers,
         employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the
         Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, except as provided
         under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the
         taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in
         judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
         Seller or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be
         imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
         the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
         obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Seller and any
         director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good
         faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima
         facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
         matters arising under this Agreement.

                  (b) The Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
         prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to
         its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may cause
         it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
         Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary
         or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of
         the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the
         Certificateholders and the Noteholders under this Agreement. In such
         event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
         resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
         Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed
         therefor.

         SECTION 6.06 Seller May Own Certificates or Notes. The Seller and any
Affiliate of the Seller may in its individual or any other capacity become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes with the same rights as it would have
if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise provided
in the Basic Documents. Certificates or Notes so owned by or pledged to the
Seller or such controlling or commonly controlled Person shall have an equal and
proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates or the
Notes, as the case may be, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Basic
Documents.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  The Servicer

         SECTION 7.01 Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the
following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in
acquiring the Receivables. The representations speak as of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date and shall survive the sale
of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture.



                                       57

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is duly
         organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
         under the laws of the state of its incorporation, with corporate power
         and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such
         properties are currently owned and such business is presently
         conducted, and had at all relevant times, and has, corporate power,
         authority and legal right to acquire, own, sell and service the
         Receivables and to hold the Receivable Files as custodian on behalf of
         the Trust and the Indenture Trustee. The location of the Servicer's
         chief executive office and principal place of business is Torrance,
         California.

                  (b) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do
         business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained
         all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the
         ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business relating
         to the servicing of the Receivables as required by this Agreement shall
         require such qualifications and where the failure to so qualify would
         have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to
         perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (c) Power and Authority. The Servicer has the power and
         authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its
         terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
         have been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary corporate
         action.

                  (d) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal,
         valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance
         with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors'
         rights generally and by general equitable principles.

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

                  (f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending, or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened,
         before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
         governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or
         its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the
         Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement, the
         Certificates or the Notes; (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
         Certificates or the Notes or the consummation



                                       58
<PAGE>
         of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust
         Agreement or the Indenture or the Purchase Agreement; (iii) seeking any
         determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
         performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity
         or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the
         Indenture, the Purchase Agreement, the Certificates or the Notes ; or
         (iv) relating to the Servicer and that would adversely affect the
         federal or any state income tax attributes of the Certificates or the
         Notes.

         SECTION 7.02 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement:

                  (a) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
         Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders
         and the Noteholders from and against any and all costs, expenses,
         losses, damages, claims and liabilities (collectively, "Damages")
         arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the
         Servicer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Trust) of a Financed
         Vehicle.

                  (b) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
         Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders
         and the Noteholders from and against any and all Damages to the extent
         that such Damage arose out of, or was imposed upon, the Owner Trustee,
         the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, the Certificateholders or the
         Noteholders through the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of
         the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or
         by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
         this Agreement.

                  (c) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against all Damages
         arising out of or incurred in connection with the acceptance or
         performance of the trusts and duties herein contained, except to the
         extent that such Damage: (i) shall be due to the willful misfeasance,
         bad faith, or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner
         Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be; (ii) relates to
         any tax other than the taxes with respect to which the Seller shall be
         required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee; (iii)
         shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
         Trustee of any of their respective representations or warranties set
         forth in the Basic Documents; (iv) shall be one as to which the Seller
         is required to indemnify the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and
         as to which such Person has received payment of indemnity from the
         Seller; or (v) shall arise out of or be incurred in connection with the
         performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of Successor
         Servicer hereunder.

         Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02
(for purposes of this paragraph, an "Indemnified 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 Servicer under this Section 7.02, notify the
Servicer of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any
Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 and it notifies the Servicer of the
commencement thereof, the Servicer will assume the defense thereof, with



                                       59
<PAGE>
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 a conflict of interest, be counsel to the Servicer), and the Servicer
will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 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 7.02 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and shall include reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made
any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 7.02 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 Servicer,
without interest (except to the extent received by such Person).

                  Indemnification under this Section 7.02 by NMAC (or any
successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer, with respect to the
period such Person was the Servicer, shall survive the termination of such
Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the
termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any
indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 7.02 and the recipient thereafter
collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay
such amounts to the Servicer, without interest (except to the extent the
recipient collects interest from others).

         SECTION 7.03 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Servicer shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, or (iv) so long as NMAC acts as Servicer, that is a corporation more
than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by Nissan,
which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption
to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, will be the
successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement; provided, however, that (x) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing, (y) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that such consolidation,
merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section
7.03 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating
to such transaction have been complied with and (z) the Servicer shall have
delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on customary
qualifications and assumptions, all financing statements and continuation
statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are
necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings,
or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be
necessary to perfect such interest. The Servicer shall provide notice of any
merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 7.03 to each Rating
Agency. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the
foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x), (y) and (z)



                                       60
<PAGE>
above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above.

         SECTION 7.04 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

                  (a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
         employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the
         Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, except as provided
         under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the
         taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in
         judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
         Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise
         be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
         the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
         obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any
         director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good
         faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima
         facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
         matters arising under this Agreement.

                  (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
         not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
         action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the
         Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion
         may cause it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that
         the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem
         necessary or desirable in respect of the Basic Documents and the rights
         and duties of the parties to the Basic Documents and the interests of
         the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under
         the Indenture. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such
         action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs
         and liabilities of the Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled
         to be reimbursed therefor.

         SECTION 7.05 NMAC Not To Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.03, NMAC shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that
the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be
permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting
the resignation of NMAC shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication
is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable
time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee
concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall
become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall (i)
have taken the actions required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement to effect the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under
this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received with respect
to a Receivable and the delivery of the Receivable Files, and the related
accounts and records maintained by the Servicer, (ii) have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of NMAC as Servicer under this Agreement in
accordance with Section 8.02 of this Agreement (other than the initial
Servicer's obligation to make Advances), and (iii) become the Administrator
under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     Default

         SECTION 8.01 Servicer Default. If any one of the following events (a
"Servicer Default") shall occur and be continuing:

                  (a) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as
         NMAC is the Servicer) to deliver to the Relevant Trustee for deposit in
         any of the Accounts any required payment or to direct the Relevant
         Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure
         continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after (i)
         receipt by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as NMAC is the
         Servicer) of written notice of such failure given by the Owner Trustee
         or the Indenture Trustee, (ii) receipt by the Servicer (or the Seller,
         so long as NMAC is the Servicer), the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
         Trustee of written notice of such failure given by the Holders of Notes
         or Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the sum of the
         Outstanding Amount or Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
         25% of the Certificate Balance, or (iii) discovery of such failure by
         any officer of the Servicer;

                  (b) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as
         NMAC is the Servicer) to duly observe or perform in any material
         respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer (or the
         Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) set forth in this Agreement
         (including its obligation to purchase Receivables pursuant to Section
         4.06), which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights
         of the Certificateholders or the Noteholders and shall continue
         unremedied for a period of 90 days after giving of written notice of
         the failure to (i) the Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the
         Servicer) by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or (ii) the
         Servicer (or the Seller, as long as NMAC is the Servicer) and the Owner
         Trustee or the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes or
         Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the sum of the Outstanding
         Amount or Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the
         Certificate Balance; or

                  (c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the
         Servicer;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have
been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (but excluding for purposes of
such calculation and action all Notes held or beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC
II or any of their Affiliates unless all of the Notes are held or beneficially
owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates), acting together as a single
Class, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all of
the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02
hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the
Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested
in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under
Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and



                                       62
<PAGE>
deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the
Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall
cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Owner Trustee in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor
Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be
held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the
predecessor Servicer, in the Accounts or thereafter received with respect to the
Receivables that shall at that time be held by the predecessor Servicer and the
delivery of the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained
by the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files
to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession
as Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the predecessor
Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the predecessor Servicer
is the Indenture Trustee, the original Servicer hereunder shall reimburse the
Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses as described in the
immediately preceding sentence. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a
Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating
Agencies.

         SECTION 8.02 Appointment of Successor.

                  (a) Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination
         pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer's resignation in accordance
         with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall
         continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in
         the case of termination, only until the date specified in such
         termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of
         termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of
         resignation, until the earlier of (i) the date 45 days from the
         delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written
         notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in
         accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon
         which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer,
         as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of
         Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's resignation or termination
         hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer,
         and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its
         appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set
         forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to
         the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. If a Successor Servicer
         has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has
         ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.02, the
         Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be
         appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be
         entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the
         Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act,
         appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, and
         the predecessor Servicer, if no successor Servicer has been appointed
         at the time the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act, may petition a
         court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution
         having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular
         business shall include the servicing of



                                       63
<PAGE>
         automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the
         Servicer under this Agreement.

                  (b) Upon appointment, the Successor Servicer (including the
         Indenture Trustee acting as Successor Servicer) shall (i) be the
         successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be
         subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising
         thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer (except
         the initial Servicer's obligation to make Advances) and shall be
         entitled, subject to the arrangements referred to in paragraph (c)
         below, to the servicing fee and all the rights granted to the
         predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
         (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in
         accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement.

                  (c) In connection with such appointment, the Issuer may make
         such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer out
         of payments on Receivables as it and such Successor Servicer shall
         agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess
         of that permitted the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement. The
         Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take
         such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
         effectuate any such succession.

         SECTION 8.03 Repayment of Advances. If the Servicer shall resign or be
terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive, to the extent
of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections
5.03 and 5.04 with respect to all Advances previously made thereby.

         SECTION 8.04 Notification . Upon any termination of, or appointment of
a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders, and the
Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders[, the
Swap Counterparty] and the Rating Agencies.

         SECTION 8.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes evidencing a
majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, or, in the
case of any Servicer Default which does not adversely affect the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders, the Holders of Certificates evidencing a majority of
the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class of Certificates, in each case
excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or
beneficially owned by NMAC, NARC II or any of their Affiliates (unless all of
the Notes of such Class or the Certificates of such Class, as the case may be,
are held by NMAC, NARC II and their Affiliates), may, on behalf of all the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders, waive in writing any default by the
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the
Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a
past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereto.

                       Termination; Release of Receivables

         SECTION 9.01 Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

                  (a) On each Distribution Date following the last day of a
         Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than or
         equal to the Optional Purchase Percentage multiplied by the Original
         Pool Balance, the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer shall have
         the option to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate (whether or
         not such assets then comprise all or a portion of the Trust Estate) for
         an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price. To exercise such
         option, the Servicer or any successor to the Servicer shall notify the
         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to do so in
         writing, no later than the tenth day of the month preceding the month
         in which the Distribution Date as of which such purchase is to be
         effected and shall, on or before the Distribution Date on which such
         purchase is to occur, deposit pursuant to Section 5.05 in the
         Collection Account an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price, and
         shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust Estate and the Owner
         Trust Estate; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not effect any
         such purchase so long as the rating of NMAC by Moody's, or if NMAC
         shall then be unrated by Moody's, then the rating of Nissan Capital of
         America, Inc., is less than "Bal" by Moody's, unless the Owner Trustee
         and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to
         the effect that such purchase shall not constitute a fraudulent
         conveyance, subject to such assumptions as to factual matters as may be
         contained therein. Amounts so deposited will be paid and distributed as
         set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement. Upon such deposit of the
         amount necessary to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate, the
         Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have
         released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in
         respect of the Receivables.

                  (b) Notice of any such purchase of the Owner Trust Estate
         shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each
         Securityholder as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice
         thereof from the Servicer.

                  (c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
         and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes,
         the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders
         hereunder other than under Section 5.06 and the Issuer will succeed to
         the rights of the Indenture Trustee provided for in this Agreement.

         SECTION 9.02 Release of Receivables.

                  (a) Upon repurchase of any Receivable by the Seller pursuant
         to Section 3.02 or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06 or Section
         9.01, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
         Noteholders, shall, without further action, be deemed to transfer,
         assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller or the Servicer, as
         the case may be, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and
         under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with
         respect thereto and all proceeds thereof and the other property
         conveyed to the Issuer hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect
         to such



                                       65
<PAGE>
         Receivable, and all security and any documents relating thereto, such
         assignment being an assignment outright and not for security; and the
         Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such
         Receivable, and all such related security and documents, free of any
         further obligation to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
         Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with
         respect thereto.

                  (b) The Issuer and Indenture Trustee shall execute such
         documents and instruments of transfer and assignment and take such
         other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller or the
         Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such
         Receivable pursuant to Sections 3.02, 4.06 and 9.02.

                  (c) If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held
         that the Seller or the Servicer may not enforce a repurchased
         Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a
         holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer, and the
         Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, at the written
         direction and expense of the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be,
         take such reasonable steps as the Seller or the Servicer deems
         necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the
         name or names of the Issuer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.

         SECTION 9.03 Termination.

                  (a) The respective obligations of the Seller, the Servicer,
         NMAC (so long as NMAC has rights or obligations hereunder), the Owner
         Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to
         this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the maturity or
         other liquidation of the last Receivable and the final disposition of
         all amounts received upon liquidation of any remaining Receivables, or
         (ii) the election by the Servicer to purchase the corpus of the Trust
         as described in Section 9.01 and the payment or distribution to
         Securityholders of all amounts required to be paid to them under the
         Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

                  (b) Notice of any such termination under this Section 9.03
         shall be given by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to each
         Securityholder of record as specified in the Indenture or the Trust
         Agreement, as appropriate.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                  Miscellaneous

         SECTION 10.01 Amendment.

                  (a) This Agreement may be amended by the Seller, the Servicer
         and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without
         the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders,

                           (1) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any
provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder
that are not inconsistent with the provisions herein; provided that (i) the
amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of



                                       66
<PAGE>
any Noteholder or Certificateholder and (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered
an Officer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee stating
that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder; and

                           (2) to change the formula for determining the
required amount for the Specified Reserve Account Balance upon (i) confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not result in the
qualification, reduction or withdrawal of any rating it currently assigns to any
Class of Notes or Certificates, and (ii) delivery by the Servicer to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of an Officer's Certificate stating that
such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Securityholder.

         An amendment will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the
interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder of any Class if (x) the
amendment does not adversely affect the Trust's status as a partnership (or, for
any period during which there is not more than one beneficial owner of a
Certificate, the Trust's status as an entity that is disregarded as an entity
separate from the Certificateholder) for federal income tax purposes, (y) each
Rating Agency confirms that that amendment will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of its rating on the Certificates or the Notes of that Class, and (z)
the Servicer has delivered the Officer's Certificate described in this Section
10.01(a).

                  (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
         the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the
         Indenture Trustee and the consent of:

                           (1) the Holders of Notes evidencing a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes; or

                           (2) in the case of any amendment that does not
adversely affect the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, the Holders of the
Certificates evidencing a majority of the outstanding Certificate Balance of the
Controlling Class of Certificates (but excluding for purposes of calculation and
action all Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their
Affiliates, unless all of the Certificates of such Class are held by the Seller,
the Servicer or any of their Affiliates);

For the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of those Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided, however,
that no amendment shall:

                           (1) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of,
or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables
or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of those
Noteholders or Certificateholders or change the Interest Rate or the
Pass-Through Rate or the Specified Reserve Account Balance (except as described
above under clause (2) of subsection (a) above) without the consent of each
"adversely affected" Noteholder or Certificateholder; or

                           (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or Certificate Balance of the Certificates which
is required to consent to any amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all the then outstanding Notes or Certificates.



                                       67
<PAGE>
          An amendment referred to in clause (x) above will be deemed not to
"adversely affect" a Certificateholder or Noteholder of any Class only if each
Rating Agency confirms that that amendment will not result in a reduction or
withdrawal of its rating on the Certificates or Notes of that Class. In
connection with any amendment referred to in clause (x) above, the Servicer
shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee stating that those Noteholders and Certificateholders whose consents
were not obtained were not adversely affected by such amendment.

         Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Owner Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent to each Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee and each
of the Rating Agencies.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders or
the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.

         Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture 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 the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section
10.02. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee's or
the Indenture Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.

         SECTION 10.02 Protection of Title to Trust.

                  (a) The Seller shall execute and file such financing
         statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation
         statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by
         law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer
         and of the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables and in the proceeds
         thereof. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
         Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or
         filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
         available following such filing.

                  (b) The Seller and the Servicer shall notify the Owner Trustee
         and the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after any change of its name,
         identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or
         might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in
         accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the
         meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC, and shall promptly file
         appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or
         continuation statements.

                  (c) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall notify the Owner
         Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of any relocation of its principal
         executive office or state of incorporation within 30 days after such
         relocation, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable
         provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any
         previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new
         financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new
         financing statement. The Servicer



                                       68
<PAGE>
         shall at all times maintain each office from which it shall service
         Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United
         States of America.

                  (d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to
         each Receivable accurately and in sufficient detail to permit (i) the
         reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable,
         including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the
         nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries
         on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to
         time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable.

                  (e) The Servicer shall maintain its computer systems so that,
         from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of the Receivables
         to the Trust, the Servicer's master computer records that refer to any
         Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer and the
         Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned
         by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee. Indication
         of these respective interests in a Receivable shall be deleted from or
         modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the
         related Receivable shall have become a Liquidated Receivable or been
         repurchased.

                  (f) If at any time the Seller or the Servicer shall propose to
         sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest
         in automotive receivables to, any prospective purchaser, lender or
         other transferee, the Servicer shall give to such prospective
         purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or
         printouts that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any
         Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold
         and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture
         Trustee.

                  (g) Upon receipt of a written request from the Owner Trustee
         or the Indenture Trustee, which request shall be made no more
         frequently than annually, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner
         Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, within 20
         Business Days after receipt of such request, a list of all Receivables
         (by contract number and name of Obligor) then held as part of the
         Trust, together with a reconciliation of the list of Receivables
         attached hereto as Schedule A and to each of the Servicer's
         Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of
         Receivables from the Trust. The Servicer shall permit the Indenture
         Trustee and its agents at any time during normal business hours upon
         reasonable prior notice to inspect, audit and make copies of and
         abstracts from the Servicer's records regarding any Receivable.

                  (h) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee:

                  (i) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of
         each amendment hereto, an Opinion of Counsel, based on customary
         assumptions and qualifications, stating that, in the opinion of such
         counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation
         statements have been executed and filed that are necessary to perfect
         the interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables,
         and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions
         of Counsel in which such details



                                       69
<PAGE>
         are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and
         protect such interest; and

                           (ii) if requested by the Indenture Trustee or the
         Owner Trustee, not more frequently than annually, an Opinion of
         Counsel, dated as of a date during such 90-day period, either (A)
         stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on customary
         assumptions and qualifications, all financing statements and
         continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary
         to perfect the interest of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in the
         Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to
         prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no
         such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

                  (i) Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (h)(A) or
         (B) above shall specify any action necessary (as of the date of such
         Opinion of Counsel) to be taken in the following year to preserve and
         protect such interest.
