SERVICING OF THE 2023-A LEASES AND 2023-A VEHICLES
Section 8.01 Identification of 2023-A Leases and 2023-A Vehicles; Securitization Value. The Servicer hereby identifies as 2023-A Series Assets the Leased Vehicles and the Leases relating to such Leased Vehicles more particularly described in the Schedule of 2023-A Leases and 2023-A Vehicles (respectively, the “2023-A Vehicles” and the “2023-A Leases”). The Servicer shall calculate the Securitization Value for each 2023-A Lease as of the Cutoff Date.
Section 8.02 Reallocation and Repurchase of 2023-A Leases and 2023-A Vehicles; Purchase of Matured Vehicles; Lease Pull-Forwards.
(a) If the Servicer grants a lease term extension with respect to any 2023-A Lease that extends the lease term beyond the Note Final Scheduled Payment Date for the Class A-4 Notes (other than any lease term extension that is in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices made after a default, breach, delinquency or event permitting acceleration under the terms of the related 2023-A Lease shall have occurred or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is imminent), the Servicer shall, on or before the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such extension was granted, (A) deposit or cause to be deposited into the 2023-A Series Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment and (B) direct the Titling Company to either reallocate such 2023-A Lease and the related 2023-A Vehicle from the 2023-A Series to the Unallocated Assets Series or an Other Series.
(b) The Servicer hereby represents and warrants that each 2023-A Lease is a 2023-A Eligible Lease. Upon discovery by the Servicer, the Administrator, the Issuing Entity or the Depositor or upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty in this Section 8.02(b) that materially adversely affects the interest of the Securityholders in the related 2023-A Lease or 2023-A Vehicle, the entity discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement and to the Indenture Trustee. Any such breach will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach does not affect the ability of the Issuing Entity to receive and retain timely payments in full on such 2023-A Lease or receive and retain the proceeds of such 2023-A Leased Vehicle. If the Servicer does not cure any such breach that materially adversely affects the interest of the
2 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
Securityholders in the related 2023-A Lease or 2023-A Vehicle in all material respects prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, the end of the first Collection Period following discovery) after the date that the Servicer discovers such breach (whether pursuant to such notice or otherwise), then the Servicer shall (i) deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the 2023-A Series Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment on or prior to the Deposit Date following the end of such Collection Period, and (ii) direct the Administrator to either reallocate such 2023-A Lease and the related 2023-A Vehicle from the 2023-A Series to the Unallocated Assets Series or an Other Series or cause such 2023-A Lease and 2023-A Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer on the Deposit Date.
(c) The Servicer hereby represents and warrants that it used no adverse selection procedures in selecting any of the 2023-A Leases or any of the 2023-A Vehicles for allocation to the 2023-A Series.
(d) In connection with the purchase by the Servicer of a Matured Vehicle relating to a 2023-A Lease pursuant to Section 2.06(b) of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, if (i) no Sales Proceeds Advance has been made, the purchase price of such Matured Vehicle will equal the Securitization Value of such 2023-A Lease as of the date of expiration and (ii) a Sales Proceeds Advance has been made, (A) the purchase price will equal the amount of the Sales Proceeds Advance, (B) no additional amounts need be remitted by the Servicer, and (C) the Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for such Sales Proceeds Advance.
(e) If any 2023-A Lease and the related 2023-A Vehicle are reallocated to the Unallocated Asset Series, until such time thereafter, if ever, as such Lease and Leased Vehicle are allocated to an Other Series, the Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Titling Company from and against any and all loss or liability with respect to or resulting from such 2023-A Lease or 2023-A Vehicle (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) except the Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Titling Company from and against any and all special, indirect, consequential or punitive losses or liabilities.
(f) If the Servicer permits a Lease Pull-Forward, all Pull-Forward Payments due and payable by the Lessee under the Lease will be paid and deposited in the Series Collection Account within the time period required for the Servicer to deposit collections into the Series Collection Account; provided that, if the Servicer waives the Pull-Forward Payment (or any portion thereof) payable by the Lessee during any Collection Period, the Servicer will be required to deposit the waived amount of the Pull-Forward Payment into the Series Collection Account by the next Deposit Date related to such Collection Period.
Section 8.03 Collections and Payment Date Advance Reimbursement.
(a) The Servicer shall, with respect to Series Collections and amounts in respect of the 2023-A Series Certificate, from time to time, determine the respective amounts and recipients and:
(i) during each Collection Period, in addition to the deposits required by Section 2.07 of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account all Repurchase Payments pursuant to Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b);
3 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(ii) on, or prior to each Deposit Date, deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account all Advances, any Residual Value Surplus from the sale of a Matured Vehicle for which the Servicer made a Sales Proceeds Advance and any Net Auction Proceeds from the disposition of a Matured Vehicle at auction for which the Servicer was reimbursed during the related Collection Period pursuant to Section 8.06; and
(iii) on each Payment Date, pursuant to the related Payment Date Certificate, allocate Available Funds on deposit in the 2023-A Series Collection Account with respect to the related Collection Period and instruct the Indenture Trustee to make, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, or such other time as may be agreed to by the applicable parties, the following deposits and distributions in the following amounts and order of priority:
(A) to the Servicer the sum of outstanding (1) Sales Proceeds Advances (x) in respect of 2023-A Vehicles that were sold during the related Collection Period (other than a sale to the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(d)(ii)), and (y) that have been outstanding as of the end of that Collection Period for at least 90 days and (2) Monthly Payment Advances as to which the related Lessee has made all or a portion of the advanced Monthly Payment or that have been outstanding as of the end of the Collection Period for at least 90 days (collectively, the “Payment Date Advance Reimbursement”);
(B) to or on behalf of the Servicer, the Servicing Fee in respect of the related Collection Period, together with any unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of one or more prior Collection Periods; and
(C) to the Note Distribution Account, the Reserve Account and Certificate Distribution Account, as applicable, such distributions in the amounts and order of priority as set forth in Sections 8.04(a), 8.04(b) and 10.01 of the Indenture.
(D) Notwithstanding Section 2.07 of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall remit into the Series Collection Account the amounts provided for in such Section received during a Collection Period, by (subject to Section 8.03(c)) the close of business on the second Business Day after identification.
(b) Notwithstanding Sections 8.02(c) or 8.03(b) hereof, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the amounts provided for in such subsections received during a Collection Period until the Business Day preceding the Payment Date on which such amounts are required to be disbursed (or such other date as provided in the Public ABS Transaction referred to below), for so long as no Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, and the following requirements are met (collectively, the “Monthly Remittance Condition”):
4 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(i) (A) NMAC (or its successors pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement) is the Servicer, and (B) NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least “Prime-1” by S&P and “F1” by Fitch (in each case, so long as S&P or Fitch is a Rating Agency);
(ii) the Servicer obtains a Servicer Letter of Credit or certain other arrangements are made and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied;
(iii) the Servicer otherwise satisfies each Rating Agency’s requirements; or
(iv) if the Outstanding Amount of the Notes is reduced to zero and 100% of the outstanding Trust Certificates are owned by the Trust, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and their respective Affiliates.
Pending deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account, Series Collections may be employed by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall not be segregated from its own funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a subsequent Public ABS Transaction calls for changes in making monthly deposits to the related collection account, then, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, the Servicer will no longer be bound by the Monthly Remittance Condition hereunder, and will instead be subject to the conditions to making monthly deposits as required by the subsequent Public ABS Transaction.
(c) Notwithstanding Sections 2.07(a) and 2.11(a) of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices to (i) collect all payments required under each Lease and (ii) cause each Lessee to make all payments required under its Lease, accompanied by an invoice, payment coupon or electronic funds transfer notice bearing the lease number to which such payment relates.
Section 8.04 Net Deposits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this 2023-A Servicing Supplement, NMAC (as Servicer or in any other capacity) shall be permitted to deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account only the net amount distributable to the Issuing Entity, as holder of the 2023-A Series Certificate on the related Deposit Date and may pay the Optional Purchase Price pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Trust Agreement net of amounts to be distributed to the Servicer or its Affiliates. The Servicer shall, however, account to the Issuing Entity, the Administrator, the Titling Company Registrar, the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee), the Owner Trustee and the Holders of the Securities as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were made individually.
Section 8.05 Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee.
(b) The Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation with respect to the 2023-A Series Assets in the form of (i) interest and earnings on investment of funds in the 2023-A Series Accounts, provided that any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the applicable 2023-A Series Account, and (ii) Administrative Charges to the extent not required for the payment of insurance premiums, taxes, or similar charges allocable to the 2023-A Leases; provided, however, that the Servicer may in its sole discretion waive any Administrative Charges, in whole or in part, in connection with any delinquent payments due on a Lease.
5 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
Section 8.06 Advances.
(a) If during a Collection Period a Lessee makes a Lessee Partial Monthly Payment, the Servicer shall make, by deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account on the related Deposit Date, a Monthly Payment Advance, unless such Advance is not required to be made pursuant to Section 8.06(c).
(b) On each Deposit Date, the Servicer shall make, by deposit into the 2023-A Series Collection Account, Sales Proceeds Advances, unless such Advance is not required to be made pursuant to Section 8.06(c). After the Servicer has made a Sales Proceeds Advance with respect to a Matured Vehicle, the Issuing Entity shall have no claim against or interest in such Matured Vehicle or any Net Auction Proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition thereof, except with respect to any related Residual Value Surplus. If the Servicer shall sell or otherwise dispose of a Matured Vehicle after having made a Sales Proceeds Advance, the Issuing Entity may retain all of such Sales Proceeds Advance, and the Servicer shall retain the related Net Auction Proceeds up to the Securitization Value of the related 2023-A Lease, and shall deposit the Residual Value Surplus, if any, into the 2023-A Series Collection Account. If the Net Auction Proceeds are less than the Securitization Value of the related 2023-A Lease, the Servicer may deduct the difference from Series Collections in respect of one or more future Collection Periods and retain such amount as reimbursement for the outstanding portion of the related Sales Proceeds Advance. If the Servicer has not sold a Matured Vehicle within six calendar months after it has made a Sales Proceeds Advance, it shall be reimbursed for such Sales Proceeds Advance from the 2023-A Series Collection Account. Within six months of receiving such reimbursement, if the related 2023-A Vehicle has not been sold, the Servicer shall, if permitted by applicable law, cause such 2023-A Vehicle to be sold at auction and shall remit the proceeds (less Disposition Expenses and Liquidation Expenses) associated with such auction sale to the 2023-A Series Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to make an Advance only to the extent that it determines that such Advance will be recoverable from future payments on or in respect of the related 2023-A Lease or 2023-A Vehicle.
Section 8.07 Third Party Claims. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14 of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor (in the event that NMAC is not acting as Servicer) and the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee) upon learning of a claim or Lien of whatever kind of a third party that would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity with respect to the 2023-A Series Assets.
Section 8.08 Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy. So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Servicer shall maintain and pay when due all premiums with respect to, and the Servicer may not terminate or cause the termination of, the Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy unless (i) a replacement Insurance Policy is obtained that provides coverage
6 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
against third party claims that may be raised against the Titling Company or the Issuing Entity in an amount at least equal to $1 million combined single limit per occurrence and excess coverage of at least $15 million combined single limit each occurrence and in the aggregate, without limit on the number of occurrences in any policy period (which Insurance Policy may be a blanket Insurance Policy covering the Servicer and one or more of its Affiliates) and (ii) each Rating Agency receives prior written notice of such termination and any replacement insurance policy. The obligations of the Servicer pursuant to this Section shall survive any termination of the Servicer’s other obligations under the Servicing Agreement until such time as claims can no longer be brought that would be covered by such Insurance Policies, whether as a result of the expiration of relevant statutes of limitations or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall only be required to maintain the Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy that is required to be maintained by the Servicer in the most recent Public ABS Transaction; provided, that if no such Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy is required to be maintained in the most recent Public ABS Transaction, then no such Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy shall be required hereunder.
Section 8.09 Reporting by the Servicer; Delivery of Certain Documentation. On the tenth calendar day of each month (or, if the 10th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Administrator, the Titling Company Registrar and the Depositor, a Payment Date Certificate, substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit A hereto for the immediately preceding Collection Period.
Section 8.10 Accountants’ Attestation. So long as the Depositor is filing the attestation report with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2023, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish an attestation report to the Issuing Entity, Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency as to the Servicer’s Assessment Report of its compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122 of Regulation AB during the Servicer’s preceding fiscal year (or since the date of the issuance of the Notes in the case of the first such statement), which shall be deemed furnished upon filing such report with the Commission. The form of attestation report may be deleted or replaced by any similar form using any standards that are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any note, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidelines promulgated by the Commission.
Section 8.11 Servicer’s Assessment Report; Annual Servicer’s Compliance Statement; Officer’s Certificate; Administrative Agent Compensation.
(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies, which shall be deemed to be delivered upon filing such report with the Commission, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2023, a report assessing the Servicer’s compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in the relevant SEC regulations for asset-backed securities transactions, including Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as of and for the period ending the end of each fiscal year of the Issuing Entity (the “Servicer’s Assessment Report”) and such Servicer’s Assessment Report will identify any material instance of noncompliance, so long as the Depositor is filing the Servicer’s Assessment Report with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act. The form of Servicer’s Assessment Report may be deleted or replaced by any similar form using any standards that are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidelines promulgated by the Commission.
7 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(b) The Servicer shall also 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 Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2023, an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the prior fiscal year of the Servicer (or with respect to the initial Officer’s Certificate, the period from the date of the initial issuance of the Notes to March 31, 2023), 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 in all material respects, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statements, certificates and reports may be obtained by the Noteholders or the Trust Certificateholder by a request in writing addressed to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee.
(c) On or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2023, for as long as NMAC continues to act as the Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans to each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.
(d) The Servicer shall pay the Administrative Agent a monthly payment of compensation in an amount to be agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Servicer pursuant to Section 1.04 of the Trust Administration Agreement.
Section 8.12 Servicer Defaults; Termination of Servicer.
(a) Each of the following acts or occurrences constitutes a “Servicer Default” under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2023-A Series:
(i) the Servicer fails to deliver, or cause to be delivered, any required payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders or to the Owner Trustee for distribution to the Trust Certificateholders, which failure continues for five Business Days after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee, or Noteholders or Trust Certificateholders, as applicable, evidencing at least a Majority Interest in the applicable Securities (which for this purpose includes Trust Certificates held by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and their respective Affiliates), voting together as a single class; provided, however, that a failure under this clause (i) that continues unremedied for a period of ten Business Days or less will not constitute a Servicer Default if such failure was caused by a force majeure or other similar occurrence,
8 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(ii) the Servicer fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements in the Servicing Agreement not otherwise covered in this Section 8.12(a), which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of a Holder of the 2023-A Series Certificate, the Noteholders or Trust Certificateholders, as applicable, and which continues unremedied for 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure; provided that (A) such failure is capable of remedy within 90 days or less and (B) a Majority Interest in the applicable Securities consents to such longer cure period) after receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the related holders evidencing at least a Majority Interest in the applicable Securities or such default becomes known to the Servicer (it being understood that the making of a Repurchase Payment and reallocation of a 2023-A Lease and the related 2023-A Vehicle by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(a) shall be the sole remedy available with respect to a breach of Section 8.02(a)); provided, however, that a failure under this clause (ii) that continues unremedied for a period of 150 days or less will not constitute a Servicer Default if such failure was caused by a force majeure or other similar occurrence,

provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, any Servicer Default with respect to the 2023-A Series shall not constitute a Servicer Default with respect to any Other Series and any servicer default with respect to any Other Series shall constitute a servicer default only with respect to such Series and not with respect to the 2023-A Series.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee prompt notice of any (i) Servicer Default or (ii) event or condition that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, accompanied in each case by a description of the nature of the default and the Servicer’s efforts to remedy the same.
(c) If a Servicer Default shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2023-A Series, the Titling Company Registrar, on behalf of the Titling Company, shall, at the direction of the Required Related Holders, by notice given to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will provide each Rating Agency with notice thereof pursuant to Section 1.02(k) of the Trust Administration Agreement), the Depositor and the holders of the Rated Securities affected by that Servicer Default, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this 2023-A Servicing Supplement. In the event that the Servicer is removed as servicer with respect to servicing the 2023-A Series Assets, subject to the consent of the Titling Company Registrar, the Required Related Holders shall appoint a successor Servicer. The successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Titling Company Registrar. Such successor Servicer shall be approved by the Titling Company Registrar, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Titling Company Registrar, acting on the direction of the Required Related Holders, may waive any default of the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement and its consequences with respect to the 2023-A Series and, upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of the Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto. For purposes of this Section, so long as the Lien of the Indenture is in place, the Required Related Holders shall be deemed to be the Indenture Trustee (as Registered Pledgee of the 2023-A Series Certificate), acting at the direction of the Required Percentage of the Noteholders and thereafter, the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required Percentage of the Trust Certificateholders (which for this purpose shall include Trust Certificates owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and any of their respective Affiliates) until the final distribution is made with respect to the 2023-A Series Assets.
10 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(d) If the Servicer is removed with respect to servicing the 2023-A Series Assets, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances made pursuant to this 2023-A Servicing Supplement, to the extent of the funds available therefor with respect to all Advances made by the Servicer.
Section 8.13 Servicer Representations and Warranties. Effective as of the date hereof, the Servicer hereby reaffirms the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.01 of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, except that references to “this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Servicing Agreement, as such term is defined herein.

Section 9.03 Amendment.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, the Titling Company Servicing Agreement, as supplemented by this 2023-A Servicing Supplement, to the extent that it relates solely to the 2023-A Series and the 2023-A Series Assets, may be amended in accordance with this Section 9.03.
11 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(b) Any term or provision of this 2023-A Servicing Supplement may be amended by the parties hereto, without the consent of any other Person; provided that (i) either (A) any amendment that materially and adversely affects the Noteholders shall require the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Notes voting together as a single class or (B) such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the Noteholders, and (ii) any amendment that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Trust Certificateholder, Titling Company Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Persons whose interests are adversely affected; provided, further that an opinion of counsel is delivered to the Titling Company Registrar to the effect that after such amendment, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Titling Company will not be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation and Notes (other than Tax Retained Notes) will properly be characterized as indebtedness that is secured by the assets of the Issuing Entity. An amendment shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders if (i) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, or (ii) the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee stating that such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the Noteholders. The consent of the Trust Certificateholder or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection from such Person within ten (10) Business Days after a written request for such consent shall have been given. The Titling Company Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Titling Company Registrar’s or the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest in any Note, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Noteholder or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement, the Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later than 10 Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement, the Servicer shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, Titling Company Registrar, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.
12 | (NALT 2023-A Series Servicing Supplement) |
(f) Neither the Titling Company Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall be under any obligation to ascertain whether a Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to any amendment. When the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment, the Servicer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Titling Company Registrar and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Titling Company Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer that a Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.
