accounting and reports to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the

K-1s necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state
income tax returns.




     (iv) If the Certificateholder is not the Administrator or any of its
Affiliates, the Administrator shall satisfy its obligations with respect to clauses
(ii) and (iii) above and under the Trust Agreement by retaining, at the expense of
the Administrator, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”)
which shall perform the obligations of the Administrator thereunder.




     In connection with paragraph (ii) above, the Administrator will cause the
Accountants to provide, prior to December 1 of each year, a letter in form and
substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to whether any tax withholding is
then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto
to comply with the requirements of the Code; provided, however, that the
Certificateholder is not the Administrator or any of its Affiliates. The Accountants
shall be required to update the letter in each instance that any additional tax
withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding
shall no longer be required.




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

5.02(d) of the Trust Agreement, including the recommendation of and retention, at
its expense, of any such agents or advisors that are deemed by the Owner Trustee to
be reasonably necessary to undertake its duties pursuant to any such Currency Swap
Agreement. Pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Trust Agreement, if the
Certificateholders notify the Administrator with respect to the Issuer’s election to
enter into such a Currency Swap Agreement, the Administrator will prepare all
necessary and appropriate documentation and take all of the necessary and
appropriate actions to cause the Issuer to enter into such a Currency Swap Agreement
on behalf of the Issuer.




     (vii) The Administrator shall perform all duties and obligations applicable to
or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.




     (viii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations
under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions with or
otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that
the terms of any



(Nissan 2008-C Administration Agreement)

such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions
received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less
favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.




     (c) Non-Ministerial Matters.




     (i) With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action
unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action (x) the

(y) all approvals required under the Basic Documents shall have been obtained. For
the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include,

Documents;




     (D) the appointment of successor Note Registrars or successor Paying

Indenture;




     (E) the removal of the Indenture Trustee;




     (F) the provision of copies of any amendment or supplement to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement(s) to the Rating Agencies; and




     (G) the notification to the Swap Counterparty of any proposed amendment
or supplement to any of the Basic Documents.




     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not (x) make any payments to the
Noteholders or the Swap Counterparty under the Basic Documents, (y) sell the Trust
Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture or (z) take any other action that
the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf.

partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate
entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to
confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or

duties under this Agreement and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such

reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer);




     (ii) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory

bankruptcy, conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Administrator in any

or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for
a period of 90 consecutive days; or




     (iii) the consent by the Administrator to the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings

insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.




     The Administrator agrees that if any of the events specified in clauses (ii) or
(iii) of this Section shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee within seven days after the
occurrence of such event.




     (e) No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be
effective until (i) a successor Administrator shall have been appointed by the Issuer and
(ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of

Rating Agency (other than Moody’s and Fitch) has provided to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee notice that the proposed appointment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of any rating, if any, then assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of Notes
or the Certificates. Promptly after the appointment of any successor

Administrator, the Owner Trustee will provide notice of such appointment to Moody’s and
Fitch (so long as such Rating Agency is then rating any outstanding Notes).




     (g) Subject to Section 8(e) and 8(f), the Administrator acknowledges that upon the
appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Administrator shall immediately resign and such Successor Servicer shall automatically

Swap Counterparty without the consent of the Swap Counterparty; provided that the Swap
Counterparty’s consent to any such amendment shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided,
further that the Swap Counterparty’s consent will be deemed to have been given if the Swap
Counterparty does not object in writing within 10 days of receipt of a written request for such
consent.



     12. SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator
unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee, and the conditions precedent to appointment of a successor Administrator set
forth in Section 8 are satisfied. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by
the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be

assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a successor (by merger,
consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator, provided that such successor
organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an
agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms
of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other

rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.



     14. NO PETITION. The Administrator, by entering into this Administration Agreement,
hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in
any institution against the Issuer of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy
or similar law, in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates or any
of the Basic Documents.



     15. HEADINGS. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this
Agreement.



     16. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.



     17. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the agreements, provisions or
terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then such agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect
the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or the other rights of the
parties hereto.



     18. NOT APPLICABLE TO NMAC IN OTHER CAPACITIES. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any obligation, right or benefit NMAC may have in any other capacity or under any Basic

which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. Additionally, the Indenture
Trustee in its capacity hereunder shall be afforded the same indemnities, protections, rights,
