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

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

     (v) The Administrator shall perform the duties of the Administrator specified
in Section 10.02 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in connection with

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

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

     (viii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations
under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions with or
otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that
the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any
directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no
less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

     (c) Non-Ministerial Matters.

     (i) With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action

Documents;

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

Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its obligations, in each case under the
Indenture; and

     (E) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

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

     (d) Currency Swap Agreement. As set forth in Section 5.11 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Issuer may enter into a Currency Swap Agreement with a Currency

Agreement and Section 5.02(d) of the Trust Agreement.

accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the
Issuer hereunder or otherwise, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for or represent
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, and shall not otherwise be or be deemed an
agent of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

     6. NO JOINT VENTURE. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute the
Administrator and any of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee as members of any
partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate
entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to
confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or
liability on behalf of the others.

     7. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF ADMINISTRATOR. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator
or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its or their sole discretion, from
acting as an administrator for any other person or entity, or in a similar capacity therefor, even

duties under this Agreement and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such
default within 10 days (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall

8

 

not give within such 10 days such assurance of timely and complete cure as
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer);

     (ii) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Administrator in any
bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for
a period of 90 consecutive days; or

     (iii) the consent by the Administrator to the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,

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

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

     (e) No resignation or removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be

(ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement on substantially the same terms as the Administrator is bound hereunder.

     (f) The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only after each
Rating Agency (other than Moody’s) has provided to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee notice that the proposed appointment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of any rating, if any, then assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of Notes or the
Certificates. Promptly after the appointment of any successor Administrator, the Owner
Trustee will provide notice of such appointment to Moody’s (so long as Moody’s is then
rating any outstanding Notes).

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

with the consent of the Owner Trustee but without the consent of any Noteholders or the
Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or modifying or changing in any

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

     13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the 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 hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

     14. NO PETITION. The Administrator, by entering into this Administration Agreement,
hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in
any institution against the Issuer of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,

state bankruptcy or similar law, in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the
Certificates or any of the Basic Documents.

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

so executed shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

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

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

In care of: Wilmington Trust Company

Attn: Nissan Auto Receivables 2008-B Owner Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Nissan Auto Receivables Corporation II (the “Company”) hereby confirms arrangements made as of the
date hereof with you, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Indenture Trustee, and Wilmington
Trust Company, as Owner Trustee for the Nissan Auto Receivables 2008-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 2008-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. The
“Yield Supplement Deposit” means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the amount by

(Nissan 2008-B Yield Supplement Agreement)

 

 

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, 5.70%. “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 $41,524,668.91 (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
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall deposit the amount

(Nissan 2008-B Yield Supplement Agreement)

2

 

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
