(iii) Compliance with Law. Each Receivable, the origination of such Receivable, and the sale of the Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or made and at the execution of this Agreement complies in all material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx Warranty Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulations B and Z, the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and state adaptations of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, state “Lemon Laws” designed to prevent fraud in the sale of automobiles and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws.

(iv) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the effect of general equitable principles and (iii) the potential unenforceability of waivers of jury trial in certain states.


				(Nissan Purchase Agreement)

(v) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. (a) Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Purchaser, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party or all necessary or all appropriate actions shall have been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the Seller as secured party, and (b) as of the Cut-off Date, according to the records of the Seller, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and the possession thereof not reinstated.

(vi) Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released from the lien granted by the related Receivable in whole or in part.

(vii) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been waived in such a manner that is prohibited by the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or that would cause such Receivable to fail to meet all of the other requirements and warranties made by the Seller herein with respect thereto.

(viii) No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the operation of any of the terms of any Receivable, or the exercise of any right thereunder, will not render such Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part or subject such Receivable to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(ix) No Liens. To the Seller’s knowledge, no liens have been filed for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that shall be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by the Receivable.

Except for payment defaults continuing for a period of not more than 29 days as of the Cut-off Date, no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has occurred; and no continuing condition that with notice or the lapse of time would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable has arisen (other than deferrals and waivers of late payment charges or fees permitted under the Sale and Servicing Agreement).

(xi) Insurance.

(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated in, or shall be subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement are unlawful, void or voidable.

(xiv) All Filings Made.

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

(xvii) One Original or Authoritative Copy.

(xviii) No Amendments. No Receivable has been amended such that the amount of the Obligor’s Scheduled Payments has been increased.

(xix) APR. The Annual Percentage Rate of each Receivable equals or exceeds 0.000%.

(xx) Maturity. As of the Cut-off Date, each Receivable had a remaining term to maturity of not less than 3 payments and not greater than 61 payments.

(xxiv) Transfer. Each Receivable prohibits the sale or transfer of the Financed Vehicle without the consent of the Seller.

(xxv) New, Near-New and Used Vehicles. Each Financed Vehicle was a new, near-new or used automobile or light-duty truck at the time the related Obligor executed or authenticated the retail installment sale contract.

(xxix) No Further Amounts Owed on the Receivables. No further amounts are owed by the Seller to any Obligor under the Receivables.

(xxx) No Pledge. Other than the security interest granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables (except that certain Receivables were conveyed to Nissan Warehouse LLC and reconveyed by Nissan Warehouse LLC to the Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Note Purchase, Security and Administration Agreement (Retail Installment Receivables), dated as of August 9, 2001, as amended, by and among Nissan Warehouse LLC, NMAC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly known as Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York, and certain purchasers and funding agents specified therein).

The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

(xxxi) Receivable Files. There is no more than one original or authoritative copy of each of the documents or instruments constituting the Receivable Files, and to the extent that an original copy has been maintained, the Seller has in its possession all such original copies that constitute or evidence the Receivables.

The Receivable Files that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or


				(Nissan Purchase Agreement)

notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will violate the rights of the Purchaser.”

If any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 5.4 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 an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and the Seller will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.4 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 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.4 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).
