The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided in all material respects and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such material failure. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices: (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees. Nothing in this Section 3.01 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 3.01.

(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 4.12). The Servicer shall make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct. The Servicer shall permit the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Receivable.

(c) Release of Receivable Files. 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 the Basic Documents, 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 commercially practicable. Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to the Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor.

SECTION 3.02 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 an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

		31		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

or other obligation of the Servicer as custodian; 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.

ARTICLE IV.

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.01 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and, in such capacity, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable receivables that it services for itself or others. There are no requirements under the Basic Documents to maintain a back-up servicer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. Subject to Section 4.05, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period preceding the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Notes issued under the Indenture or (ii) reduces the APR or Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law (including, without limitation, by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act) or court order, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 4.06 if such change in the Receivable would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Securityholders in such Receivable. 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.


		32		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(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 and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions. The Servicer is not required under the Basic Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Basic Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an Obligor. The Servicer shall not make any payments or distributions on behalf of an Obligor.

(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 (other than a Repurchased Receivable), the Issuer 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) Nothing in any 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, such programs or modifications would be consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, even if such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepaying or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle.


		33		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Payments on the Receivables made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such payments shall be allocated to principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables.

SECTION 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, 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, unless it determines in its sole discretion that repossession will not increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Servicer shall follow such Customary Servicing Practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, 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 be required to 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 Practices, 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 Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s Certificate of Title, to grant to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer 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 Issuer. The provisions set forth in this Section 4.04 are the sole requirements under the Basic Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the Certificate of Title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest.

SECTION 4.05 Covenants of Servicer. Unless required by law or court order, 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 (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (ii) in connection with repossession or (iii) except as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any insurance policy covering such Financed Vehicle.


		34		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 Section 4.01(a) or 4.05 that would materially and adversely affect any Receivable. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in such Receivable, then the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Distribution Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. In consideration of such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the Repurchase Payment in the manner specified in Section 5.05. Upon payment of such Repurchase Payment by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably requested of it to vest in the Servicer or its designee any Receivable and any related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant hereto. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.06. The sole remedy of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer [or][,] the Securityholders [or the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]] against the Servicer with respect to a breach by the Servicer of its obligations under Sections 4.01(a) 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 Base Servicing Fee and shall be entitled to retain all Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer will also be entitled to receive investment earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account during each Collection Period. 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 independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports to Securityholders and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Securityholders).

SECTION 4.08 Servicer’s Certificate. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, each Paying Agent [and][,] the Indenture Trustee [and the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider]], 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 of this Agreement and Section 5.04(d) of the Indenture 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. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy form.


		35		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 4.09 Communication among Noteholders. A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may send a request to the Seller at any time notifying the Seller that such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, would like to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, with respect to an exercise of their rights under the terms of the Basic Documents. If the requesting party is not a Noteholder as reflected on the Note Register, the Seller may require that the requesting party provide Verification Documents. Each request must include (i) the name of the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, and (ii) a description of the method by which other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner. A Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, that delivers a request under this Section 4.09 will be deemed to have certified to the Issuer and the Servicer that its request to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, relates solely to a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, and will not be used for other purposes. In each monthly distribution report on Form 10-D under the Exchange Act with respect to the Issuer, the Seller shall include disclosure regarding any request that complies with the requirements of this Section 4.09 received during the related Collection Period from a Noteholder or Note Owner to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, related to the Noteholders or Note Owners exercising their rights under the terms of the Basic Documents. The disclosure in such Form 10-D regarding the request to communicate shall include (w) the name of the investor making the request, (x) the date the request was received, (y) a statement to the effect that the Issuer has received a request from such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, stating that such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, is interested in communicating with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the Basic Documents, and (z) a description of the method other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may use to contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner.

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

(k) No Liens. 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 or other Transferred Assets to any other Person. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables or other Transferred Assets 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 or other Transferred Assets has been released.

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. The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (in such role and as Successor Servicer) 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 Issuer 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 Collateral (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.

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 (including the costs of defending any claim or bringing any claim to enforce the Seller’s indemnity obligations hereunder).

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 (in such role and as Successor Servicer) 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).


		49		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

The Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.03 are obligations solely of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 6.03 and the terms of this Section 6.03 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 6.03 will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Seller and any manager, 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.

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

(a) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, [and] the Trust, [the [Swap Counterparty][Cap Provider],] from and against any and all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement by such Person of any indemnification or other obligation of the Servicer (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Trust) of a Financed Vehicle.

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

Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02 (for purposes of this paragraph, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 7.02, notify the Servicer of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 and it notifies the Servicer of the commencement thereof, the Servicer will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is, a conflict of interest, be counsel to the Servicer), and the Servicer will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

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

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 to deliver or cause to be delivered 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 ten Business Days after (i) receipt by the Servicer of written notice of such failure given by the Indenture Trustee or Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, acting together as a single class, or, if no Notes are Outstanding, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance or (ii) discovery of such failure by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer;

(b) any failure by the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of 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 Securityholders and shall continue unremedied for a period of 90 days after receipt by the Servicer of written notice of such failure given by the Indenture Trustee or Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, acting together as a single class, or, if no Notes are Outstanding, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance; provided, however, that a failure under this clause (b) that continues unremedied for a period of 150 days or less will not constitute a Servicer Default if such failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence; or


		55		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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, acting together as a single Class or, if no Notes are Outstanding, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) and the Administrator (and the Administrator will provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Administration Agreement) may terminate all of the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 8.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and 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.

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


		56		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(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 (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer acting upon the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance) 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 and shall provide in writing the information reasonably required by the Seller to comply with its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to a replacement servicer. 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 Base Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer acting upon the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Certificate Balance) shall, if it is unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, and the predecessor Servicer, if no successor Servicer has been appointed at the time the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of 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 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Basic Documents, if the Indenture Trustee shall act as Successor Servicer, it shall not, in any event, have obligations (i) to pay any fees, expenses and other amounts owing to the Administrator, (ii) to pay any indemnities owed pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 7.02, or (iii) to repurchase Receivables pursuant to Section 4.06 if such repurchase obligations are due to the actions or omissions of the predecessor Servicer.

(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.


		57		(NAROT 20[ ]-[ ] Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 8.03 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 the Noteholders and the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Administrator (and the Administrator will provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Administration Agreement).

SECTION 8.04 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, 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.

(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, NMAC, as Servicer, shall have the option to purchase, or cause to be purchased (the “Optional Purchase”), the Collateral (other than the Reserve Account) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price.

(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 NMAC or the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Purchase Agreement or 4.06 and 9.02.
