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 or
authenticated 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 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 63 payments, 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 Cut-off Date; the Receivables were selected from NMAC’s retail installment
sale contracts 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 Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s
Regulations B and Z, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and state adaptations of the National
Consumer Credit Protection Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, state “Lemon Laws”
designed to prevent fraud in the sale of automobiles and other consumer credit laws and
equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




22









 






     (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 (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii)
the effect of general equitable principles and (iii) the potential unenforceability of
waivers of jury trial provisions in certain states.




     (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 Cut-off 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 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 Cut-off Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred; and no continuing condition
that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen (other than deferrals
and waivers of late payment charges or fees permitted 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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

     (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.

without limitation, UCC filings) in any jurisdiction have been made or have been delivered
to the Relevant Trustee in a form suitable for filing to give the Relevant Trustee a first
priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables.




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




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




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




     (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 0.00%.




     (t) Maturity. As of the Cut-off Date, each Receivable had a remaining term to

Cut-off Date, and no Receivable has been extended by more than two months.

or used automobile or light-duty truck at the time the related Obligor executed or
authenticated the retail installment sale contract.




     (z) Origination. Each Receivable has an origination date on or after June 14,
2002.




     (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 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

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.

     (ff) No Government Obligors. None of the Receivables shall be due from the
United States or any state, or from any agency, department subdivision or instrumentality
thereof.



     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.

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

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.

indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities,

may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them as the result of any 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 Cut-off 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

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 or to the extent required by state or federal law, 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 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 A-4 Notes, 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;




               (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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




28









 






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 A-4 Notes; 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. In
addition, if and to the extent applicable, the Servicer’s duties shall include the execution
and delivery of any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.




     (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.




     (d) The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Trust all licenses
required to be held by the Trust under the laws of any jurisdiction 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.




     (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 or to the extent required by law, 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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

     (e) If the Seller is required to pay tax under the second sentence of Section 6.03(a)
and if such tax is not paid by the Seller, then the Servicer shall pay such tax (or cause
such tax to be paid) to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Issuer.



     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). If each Rating Agency for a series of Notes or Certificates
confirms that it will not reduce the rating of any class of Notes or Certificates in that series,
as the case may be, the Base Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any
portion of the Base
Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from the prior Distribution Dates) will be paid at the
beginning of that Collection Period out of collections of interest on the related Receivables.



     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 the Owner
Trustee, each Paying Agent, 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



 (Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




31











 






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 Notes the Note Factor for each Class of
Notes, the Certificate Factor, and the Pool Factor for each Class of Notes and for the
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 Issuer, beginning June 30, 2008, an Officers’ Certificate with respect to
the prior fiscal year of the Servicer ended such calendar year (or with respect to the
initial Officer’s Certificate, the period from the date of the initial issuance of the Notes
to March 31, 2008), 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 failure to fulfill
of any such obligation, specifying each such failure 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, would become a Servicer
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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




32









 




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 Issuer, beginning June 30, 2008, 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 Notes to March 31, 2008) 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. 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.




     (a) 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.




     (b) The Servicer shall provide to each Rating Agency any information regarding the
Receivables that is reasonably requested by such Rating Agency.




     (c) 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 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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




33









 





     SECTION 4.15 Compliance with Regulation AB. The Servicer agrees to perform all
duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A attached
hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein
applicable to it.



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 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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




34









 






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 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
Certificates have no right, title or interest in the Reserve Account 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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




35









 





     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.



     SECTION 5.02 Collections.




     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit 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 second Business Day after
identification 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 “Prime-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)
(collectively, the “Monthly Remittance Conditions”); the Servicer shall not be required to
remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing 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 not later
than the second Business Day after identification 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 evidencing not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes, 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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




36









 






     (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).




     (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.



     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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




37









 






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.




     (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), Section 5.06(d)(i), or Section 5.06(e)(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), Section 5.06(d)(ii), or Section
5.06(e)(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 cash 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), plus amounts described in the second sentence of Section 5.08(b)
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.



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 Section 5.06 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), 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 payments and distributions
described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 5.06(c), clauses (i) through (vii) of
Section 5.06(d), or clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 5.06(e), 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, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the
Indenture Trustee, and the 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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)




44









 






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 and
5.07(a), 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 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 will be available, the Owner Trustee will, pursuant to the
Securities Account Control Agreement and the Yield Supplement Agreement, establish



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)







45









 









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 the Initial Yield Supplement Amount into the
Yield Supplement Account pursuant to the Yield Supplement Agreement. On 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,



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)





46









 









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.




     (d) The Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Seller, and the Indenture Trustee will treat the
Yield Supplement Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect
thereto as assets of the Trust for federal income tax and all other purposes.




     (e) Pursuant to the Yield Supplement Agreement and the Securities Account Control
Agreement, the Trust will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Yield
Supplement Account (including the Initial Yield Supplement Amount) and the proceeds thereof
to secure the payment of interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of
the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto. If for any reason the
Yield Supplement Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Relevant Trustee
shall promptly cause the Yield Supplement Account to be moved to another institution or
otherwise changed so that the Yield Supplement Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.




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



     SECTION 5.09 Statements to Certificateholders and Noteholders.




     (a) On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall include with each
distribution to each Noteholder and the Owner Trustee shall include with each distribution

     SECTION 5.10 Net Deposits. So long as NMAC is the Servicer, the Servicer (in whatever
capacity) may make the remittances pursuant to Sections 5.02 and 5.05 above net of amounts to be
distributed to the Servicer (in whatever capacity) pursuant to Section 5.06. Accounts between the
Seller and the Servicer will be adjusted accordingly. Nonetheless, the Servicer shall account for

Distribution Date. In connection with executing any such Currency Swap Agreement, the Issuer,
Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Seller and Servicer will enter into an amendment to this Sale and
Servicing Agreement, subject to Section 10.01 in a form approved by the Certificateholders, that
will specify the creation of any necessary accounts and modifications of any provisions hereof to
the extent necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intention of such Currency Swap Agreement.

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

violation in any case would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to
perform its obligations under this Agreement.

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 Notes.

Trustee.

to the issuing of such future indebtedness incurred in connection with such
certificates or notes, the Seller shall have received confirmation from each

subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

     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 and any and all other taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part
of the Trust Estate (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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a tax
is levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate under HB3,
which tax becomes due and payable after the Closing Date, the Seller shall pay such tax (or
cause such tax to be paid) to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Issuer.
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement should be read to imply that the
Issuer is doing business in Texas, has sufficient nexus with Texas in order for HB3 to apply
to the Issuer or is otherwise subject to the tax described in HB3.




     (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

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.

53









 








     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. 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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)






54









 







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 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.

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

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

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

     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

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

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

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 Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding
Amount, 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 Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 25% 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




(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 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



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)







61









 









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 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 and the Rating Agencies.



     SECTION 8.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of Notes evidencing a majority of
the Outstanding Amount of the 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, 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 or the Certificates, 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.

ARTICLE IX




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, or cause to be purchased, 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 (the “Optional Purchase”). 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 (or the deposit in cash of such lesser amount as provided in Section
9.01(b)), 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 “Ba1” 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) The Servicer, at its option, may pay all or a portion of the Optional Purchase
Price by issuing a demand note in favor of the Trust, the terms of which, on the whole,
shall be commercially reasonable and substantially similar to terms that would prevail in an
arms-length negotiation between unaffiliated parties; provided, however,
that (i) the Servicer shall pay in cash the portion of the Optional Purchase Price that is
equal to or greater than the sum of (x) the Outstanding Amount of all Classes of Notes, and
(y) the Noteholders’ Interest Distributable Amount for all Classes of Notes for such
Distribution Date, and (ii) the Servicer may issue a demand note to a Certificateholder
pursuant to this Section 9.01 only if such Certificateholder consents to the receipt of such
demand note.




     (c) 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.




     (d) 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 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.

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 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, 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
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
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 (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 are held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their
Affiliates);

65









 







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 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.



     An amendment referred to above will be deemed not to “adversely affect“ a 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 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(h)(A). 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 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. The Servicer shall at all times maintain control
of the Receivables constituting electronic chattel paper. 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:




          (A) 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 are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve
and protect such interest;

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; and

than every twelve months (commencing on the Closing Date), an Opinion of Counsel, in
substantially the form delivered to the Rating Agencies on the Closing Date, either
as to the Servicer’s control of the Receivables evidenced by electronic contracts,
or as to the Servicer’s control of other automobile receivables evidenced by
electronic contracts sold and serviced by the Servicer.




     (i) Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (h)(A), (h)(B) or (h)(C) 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.



     SECTION 10.03 Notices. All demands, notices, communications and instructions upon or
to the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Rating Agencies under
this Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return

In care of: Wilmington Trust Company

Attn: Nissan Auto Receivables 2007-B Owner Trust



Ladies and Gentlemen:




     Nissan Auto Receivables Corporation II (the “Company”) hereby confirms arrangements made as of
the date hereof with you, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, and
Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee for the Nissan Auto Receivables 2007-B Owner Trust (the
“Trust”), for the benefit of the Noteholders, to be effective upon (i) receipt by the Company of
the enclosed copy of this letter agreement (the “Yield Supplement Agreement”), executed by Nissan
Motor Acceptance Corporation (“NMAC”), the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, (ii) execution
of the Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the
Company and NMAC, (iii) receipt by NMAC of the payment by the Company of the purchase price under
the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the receipt by the Company of the capital contribution of NMAC in
connection with the payment of the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among NMAC, as Servicer, the
Company, and Nissan Auto Receivables 2007-B Owner Trust, as Issuer (the “Sale and Servicing
Agreement”).



     1. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall notify the Company and the Owner
Trustee of the “Yield Supplement Deposit” (as defined below) for the related Distribution Date, the
amount on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account (as defined below), the Servicing Payment Deposit
with respect to the related Distribution Date and the amount of reinvestment income during the
related Collection Period on the Yield Supplement Account.


(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)



Exhibit A-2









 




The “Yield Supplement Deposit” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the amount by
which (i) the aggregate amount of interest that would have been due during the related Collection
Period on all Yield Supplemented Receivables (as defined below) if such Yield Supplemented
Receivables bore interest at the Required Rate (as defined below) exceeds (ii) the amount of
interest accrued on such Yield Supplemented Receivables at their respective APRs and due during
such Collection Period. “Required Rate” means, with respect to each Collection Period, 6.220%.
“Yield Supplemented Receivable” means any Receivable that has an APR less than the Required Rate.




     2. On or before the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall establish and maintain with the
Securities Intermediary and pledge to the Indenture Trustee a segregated trust account in the name
of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (the “Yield Supplement Account”) in
accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement to secure the payment of interest on the
Notes, or such other account as may be acceptable to the Rating Agencies, and the Trust hereby
grants to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders a first priority security
interest in the Yield Supplement Account and the monies on deposit and the other property that from
time to time comprise the Yield Supplement Account (including the Initial Yield Supplement Amount),
and any and all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Yield Supplement Account Property”). The
Indenture Trustee shall possess all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect
thereto. The Yield Supplement Account Property and the Yield Supplement Account shall be under the
sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Company, the Trust nor any Person
claiming by, through or under the Company or the Trust shall have any right, title or interest in,
any control over the use of, or any right to withdraw amounts from, the Yield Supplement Account
Property or the Yield Supplement Account. All Yield Supplement Account Property in the Yield
Supplement Account shall be applied by the Relevant Trustee as specified in this Yield Supplement
Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Relevant Trustee shall, not later than 5:00
P.M., New York City time on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, withdraw from the
Yield Supplement Account and deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Yield
Supplement Deposit plus the amount of reinvestment income on the Yield Supplement Account for such
Distribution Date.



     3. On or prior to the date hereof, the Company shall make a capital contribution to the Trust
of $37,374,027.20 (the “Initial Yield Supplement Amount”), by depositing such amount into the Yield
Supplement Account. The amount required to be on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account on the
date of issuance of the Notes and for each Distribution Date until the Notes of all Classes have
been paid in full or the Indenture is otherwise terminated (the “Required Yield Supplement
Amount”), as determined by the Servicer and notified to the Relevant Trustee, means an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of each Yield Supplement Deposit that will become due on
each future Distribution Date, assuming that payments on the Receivables are made on their
scheduled due dates, no Receivable becomes a prepaid Receivable and a discount rate of 1.75%, and
(ii) the Initial Yield Supplement Amount. The Required Yield Supplement Amount may decline as a
result of prepayments or repayments in full of the Receivables. The Relevant Trustee shall have no
duty or liability to determine the Required Yield Supplement Amount and may fully rely on the
determination thereof by the Servicer. If, on any Distribution Date, the funds in the Yield
Supplement Account are in excess of the Required Yield Supplement Amount for such Distribution Date
after giving effect to all



(Nissan 2007-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)



Exhibit A-3









 







distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall deposit the
amount of such excess into the Collection Account for distribution by the Relevant Trustee in
accordance with the terms of Sections 5.06(c), (d) and (e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Yield Supplement Account shall be part of the Trust. It is the intent of the parties that the
Yield Supplement Account Property be treated as property of the Trust for all federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes. The provisions of this Yield Supplement Agreement should
be interpreted accordingly. Further, the Trust shall include in its gross income all income earned
on the Yield Supplement Account Property and the Yield Supplement Account.



     4. All or a portion of the Yield Supplement Account may be invested and reinvested in the
manner specified in Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with written
instructions from the Servicer or the Secured Party (as defined in the Securities Account Control
Agreement) under the Securities Account Control Agreement, as the case may be. All such
investments shall be made in the name of the Relevant Trustee. Earnings 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.
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 to
the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which amounts the Owner Trustee shall
deposit into the Trust Collection Account, and the Company shall have no further obligation to pay
to the Servicer the Servicing Payment Deposit. If for any reason the Yield Supplement Account is
no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly cause the Yield
Supplement Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the Yield
Supplement Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.



     5. Our agreements set forth in this Yield Supplement Agreement are our primary obligations and
such obligations are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, setoff or defense (other than full and strict compliance by us with our obligations
hereunder) and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstances or condition whatsoever.



     6. This Yield Supplement Agreement shall not be amended, modified or terminated except in
accordance with the provisions for amendments, modifications and terminations of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement as set forth in Section 10.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



     7. THIS YIELD SUPPLEMENT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER
THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.



     8. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices pursuant to this Yield Supplement
Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered, sent by telecopier, sent by courier or mailed
by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be effective upon receipt thereof. All
notices shall be directed as set forth below, or to such other address or telecopy
