          Section 1.04 Amendment.



     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement of Definitions may be amended by the parties
hereto, without the consent of any other Person; provided that (i) either (A) any amendment
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Trust
Certificateholders shall require the consent, respectively, of Noteholders evidencing not less than
a Majority Interest of the Notes voting together as a single class, or the Trust Certificateholders
evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Trust Certificates voting together as a single
class, as applicable (provided that if the Depositor and its Affiliates do not hold all of
the Trust Certificates, then the Trust Certificates held by the Depositor and its Affiliates shall
not be deemed Outstanding for purposes of this provision), or (B) such amendment shall not, as
evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer or the Depositor delivered to the Indenture
Trustee (with respect to the Noteholders) or the Trust Certificateholders, as applicable,
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or the Trust Certificateholders,
and (ii) any amendment that adversely affects the interests of the Trust, the Certificateholder,
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Person
whose interests are adversely affected. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect to such amendment and the Officer’s Certificate described in the preceding sentence is
provided to the Indenture Trustee. The consent of the Trust, the Certificateholder or the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection
from such Person within 10 Business Days after a written request for such consent shall have been
given. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into or consent to any such
amendment that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.



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

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest
in any Note, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Holder of
such Note or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to
any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which
were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.



     (d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement of Definitions, the Servicer
shall provide each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later than 10
Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement of Definitions, the Servicer
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency.



     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, any amendment eliminating the Reserve Account or reducing
the Reserve Account Requirement shall require the Servicer to deliver to the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after such amendment, for federal income
tax purposes, the Issuing Entity will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation and
the Notes should properly be characterized as indebtedness that is secured by the assets of the
Issuing Entity.



     (f) None of U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee of NILT Trust and as Trust Agent, NILT,
Inc., nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any obligation to ascertain whether a Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied with respect to any amendment. U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee of NILT Trust and as Trust Agent, NILT, Inc., and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively
assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Servicer to a Responsible Officer
of the Indenture Trustee, that a Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
amendment.



     (g) The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any proposed amendment or
supplement to this Agreement of Definitions.


          Section 1.05 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement of
Definitions that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.



          Section 1.06 Counterparts. This Agreement of Definitions may be executed by the
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.



          Section 1.07 Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are
for convenience or reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.



          Section 1.08 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT OF DEFINITIONS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
