ARTICLE TWELVE
CREATION OF THE 20[●]-[●] SUBI
Section 12.01 Creation of 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets and the 20[●]-[●] SUBI.
(a) Pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Titling Trust Agreement, the UTI Beneficiary directs the Titling Trustee to create, and the Titling Trustee hereby creates, one Sub-Trust which shall be known as the “20[●]-[●] SUBI”. The 20[●]-[●] SUBI shall represent a special unit of beneficial interest solely in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets.
(b) Pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Titling Trust Agreement, the UTI Beneficiary hereby directs the Titling Trustee to identify and allocate or to cause to be identified and allocated to the 20[●]-[●] SUBI on the books and records of the Titling Trust a separate Sub-Trust of Trust Assets consisting of 20[●]-[●] Eligible Leases and the related Leased Vehicles and other associated Trust Assets owned by the Titling Trust and not allocated to any Other SUBI or reserved for allocation to any Other SUBI (or owned or acquired by the Titling Trustee on behalf of the Titling Trust but not yet allocated to, or reserved for allocation to, any specific Sub-Trust). Such Trust Assets (the “20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets”) shall be accounted for and held in trust independently from all other Trust Assets within the Titling Trust. Based upon their identification and allocation by the Servicer pursuant to the 20[●]-[●] Servicing Supplement, the Titling Trustee hereby identifies and allocates as 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets the 20[●]-[●] Leases and 20[●]-[●] Vehicles more particularly described on the Schedule of 20[●]-[●] Leases and 20[●]-[●] Vehicles and the related Trust Assets described above, each such 20[●]-[●] SUBI Asset to be identified on the books and accounts of the Titling Trust as being allocated to the 20[●]-[●] SUBI.
(c) The Titling Trust is hereby granted the power and authority and is authorized, and the Titling Trustee is authorized on behalf of the Titling Trust, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents.
Section 12.02 Transfer of 20[●]-[●] SUBI Interests.
(a) Interests in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI may not be transferred or assigned by the UTI Beneficiary, and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be deemed null, void, and of no
3 | (NALT 20[●]-[●]SUBI Supplement) |
effect herewith; provided, however, that the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate and the interests in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI represented thereby may be (i) sold to the Depositor pursuant to the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, (ii) sold, transferred and assigned by the Depositor absolutely, or transferred and assigned or a security interest therein granted, in connection with a Securitized Financing, (iii) transferred to the Indenture Trustee or any subsequent Registered Pledgee to itself or any other Person following the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been revoked) or any similar term in any subsequent Securitized Financing secured by the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate or any interest therein and (iv) transferred to each direct or indirect permitted transferee of the Indenture Trustee or such subsequent Registered Pledgee, in each case in the circumstances contemplated in, and subject to the conditions set forth in, Section 3.04(b) of the Titling Trust Agreement. Each such transfer shall be registrable upon surrender of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate to be transferred for registration of the transfer at the corporate trust office of the Titling Trustee (or the Trust Agent, if applicable), accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Titling Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate of a like aggregate fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated permitted transferee.
(b) For any transfer of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate or an interest therein to be effective, on or prior to the date of any absolute sale, transfer, or assignment, the related transferee must execute and deliver to the Trustee the non-petition covenant and the agreement required pursuant to Section 3.04(b) of the Titling Trust Agreement.
(c) The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate (or any interest therein) may not be acquired by or on behalf of any Benefit Plan Investor. The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate (or any interest therein) may not be acquired by or on behalf of a “governmental plan” (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) or any other employee benefit plan that is subject to Similar Law if the acquisition, holding and disposition of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate (or any interest therein) would result in a violation of Similar Law or would result in the assets of the Titling Trust being plan assets of such plan under Similar Law.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no transfer or assignment of an interest in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI (other than transfer or assignments to the NILT Trust, the Depositor, or the Issuing Entity) will be valid, and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be deemed null, void, and of no effect herewith, unless the purported transferee first shall have certified in writing to the Titling Trustee that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transferee is not a partnership, S Corporation (as defined in the Code), or grantor trust having more than one beneficial owner or having a single beneficial owner that is a partnership or S Corporation.
Section 12.03 Issuance and Form of 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate.
(a) The 20[●]-[●] SUBI shall be represented by a 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate that shall represent a 100% beneficial interest in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI and the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets, as further set forth herein. The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall, upon transfer to the Issuing Entity, be registered in the name of the Issuing Entity, representing the beneficial interest in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets allocated from the UTI. The Titling Trustee shall register a pledge of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate in favor of the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the holders of the Notes), as

provided in Article Thirteen, and shall deliver the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate to the Indenture Trustee. The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required by this 20[●]-[●] SUBI Supplement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith and with the Titling Trust Agreement, be directed by the UTI Beneficiary. Any portion of any 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate may be set forth on the reverse thereof, in which case the following reference to the portion of the text on the reverse shall be inserted on the face thereof, in relative proximity to and prior to the signature of the Titling Trustee executing such 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate:
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
In addition, the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate will bear a legend to the following effect:
THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAW. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE, AGREES THAT THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE MAY BE REOFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS, INCLUDING (I) PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR THAT THE HOLDER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A (A “QIB”), PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR A QIB PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QIB, WHOM THE HOLDER HAS INFORMED, IN EACH CASE, THAT THE REOFFER, RESALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A OR (II) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS.
THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED BY OR ON BEHALF OF (I) AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA, (II) A “PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR (III) ANY ENTITY DEEMED TO HOLD THE “PLAN ASSETS” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF 29 C.F.R. SECTION 2510.3-101, AS MODIFIED BY SECTION 3(42) OF ERISA) OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING. IF THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) IS PURCHASED OR HELD BY A “GOVERNMENTAL PLAN” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(32) OF ERISA) OR ANY OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO ANY STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER LAW THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE
5 | (NALT 20[●]-[●]SUBI Supplement) |
FIDUCIARY AND PROHIBITED TRANSACTION PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”), IT SHALL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT ITS ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THIS 20[●]-[●] SUBI CERTIFICATE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) WILL NOT RESULT IN A VIOLATION OF SIMILAR LAW AND WILL NOT RESULT IN THE ASSETS OF THE TITLING TRUST BEING CONSIDERED PLAN ASSETS OF SUCH PLAN UNDER SIMILAR LAW.
The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, photocopied, or otherwise produced or may be produced in any other manner as may, consistently herewith and with the Titling Trust Agreement, be determined by the UTI Beneficiary. The 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI evidenced thereby shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC and a “certificated security” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(4) of the UCC.
(b) If (i) the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate is mutilated and surrendered to the Titling Trustee, or the Titling Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Titling Trustee such security or indemnity as may reasonably be required by it to hold the Issuing Entity and the Titling Trustee, as applicable, harmless, then the Titling Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate, a replacement 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate. Every 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 12.03(b) in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of the SUBI Trust Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificates duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 12.03(b) are exclusive and preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificates.
Section 12.04 Actions and Filings. Each of the UTI Beneficiary and the Titling Trustee shall undertake all other and future actions and activities as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to perfect (or evidence) and confirm the foregoing allocations of Trust Assets to the 20[●]-[●] SUBI, including filing or causing to be filed UCC financing statements and executing and delivering all related filings, documents or writings as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Servicer or the Registered Pledgee hereunder or under any other Basic Document. The UTI Beneficiary hereby irrevocably makes and appoints each of the Titling Trustee and the Servicer, and any of their respective officers, employees or agents, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the UTI Beneficiary (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) with power to sign on behalf of the UTI Beneficiary any financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements, mortgages, assignments, affidavits, letters of authority, notices or similar documents necessary or appropriate to be executed or filed pursuant to this Section.
6 | (NALT 20[●]-[●]SUBI Supplement) |
Section 12.05 Termination of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI.
(a) If all of the 20[●]-[●] Leases and 20[●]-[●] Vehicles have been liquidated into cash and all of such cash shall have been distributed in accordance with the Basic Documents, then, at the direction of the Holder of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate, the 20[●]-[●] SUBI shall be terminated and the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall be returned to the Titling Trustee and canceled thereby.
(b) Upon a written direction to the Titling Trustee to revoke and terminate the 20[●]-[●] SUBI by the Holder of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate, the Titling Trustee shall (i) revoke the 20[●]-[●] SUBI and (ii) promptly, at the expense of the Holder of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate, either (A) distribute the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets to the Holder of the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate or (B) allocate the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets to the UTI or to an Other SUBI, as directed by such Holder; provided, however, that the 20[●]-[●] SUBI shall not be subject to such revocation prior to the earlier of (A) the acceleration of the Notes under Section 5.2 of the Indenture following an Indenture Default or (B) payment in full of principal of, and accrued interest on, the Notes.
Section 12.06 Representations and Warranties of Titling Trustee. The Titling Trustee hereby reaffirms, as of the Cutoff Date, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 5.12 of the Titling Trust Agreement, on which the Grantor and UTI Beneficiary, each of its permitted assignees, and each Holder or Related Beneficiary of a 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate (and beneficial owner of any portion thereof, including the Issuing Entity and the Trust Certificateholders) may rely. For purposes of this Section, any reference in Section 5.12 of the Titling Trust Agreement to the Titling Trust Agreement shall be deemed to constitute references to the SUBI Trust Agreement.
Section 12.07 Transfer and Assignment of Certificates. For purposes of the SUBI Trust Agreement, the third sentence of Section 3.04(b) of the Titling Trust Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to becoming the Registered Pledgee or Holder of a SUBI Certificate or otherwise becoming entitled to distributions or any other rights hereunder, the related transferee, assignee, or pledgee in each case must (i) give a non-petition covenant substantially similar to that set forth in Section 8.08 of the Titling Trust Agreement, and (ii) execute an agreement in favor of each Holder from time to time of a UTI Certificate and any certificate evidencing an Other SUBI to release all Claims to the UTI Assets and the related Other SUBI Assets, respectively, and, if such release is not given effect, to subordinate fully all Claims it may be deemed to have against the UTI Assets as defined in the Titling Trust Agreement or such Other SUBI Assets, as the case may be.”
For so long as the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate remains outstanding, each Supplement shall contain a similar amendment with respect to such Section.

A-2 | (NALT 20[●]-[●] SUBI Supplement) |
The assets of the Titling Trust allocated to the 20[●]-[●] SUBI will generally consist of (i) cash capital, (ii) the 20[●]-[●] Leases (iii) the 20[●]-[●] Vehicles, (iv) certain related Trust Assets and (v) all of the Titling Trust’s rights thereunder, including the right to proceeds arising therefrom or in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of the SUBI Certificates relating to the SUBI Assets, the beneficial interest in the Titling Trust and the Trust Assets represented by the UTI shall be reduced by the amount of the Trust Assets represented by such SUBI Certificates. This certificate was issued pursuant to the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Supplement and represents a 100% beneficial interest in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets.
The UTI and the 20[●]-[●] SUBI shall each constitute a separate series of the Titling Trust pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act for which separate and distinct records shall be maintained.

Such covenant shall survive the termination of the SUBI Trust Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Titling Trustee under the SUBI Trust Agreement or the complete or partial resignation of the Servicer under the SUBI Trust Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.
The Holder hereof hereby (i) expressly waives any claim it may have to any proceeds or assets of the Titling Trustee and to all of the Trust Assets other than those from time to time included within the 20[●]-[●] SUBI as 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by such 20[●]-[●] SUBI Assets and (ii) expressly subordinates in favor of the Holder of any certificate evidencing an Other SUBI or a UTI Certificate any claim to any Other SUBI or UTI Assets that, notwithstanding the waiver contained in clause (i), may be determined to exist.
The Titling Trustee shall keep the certificate register with respect to this 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate, and the Holder of this 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall notify the Titling Trustee of any change of address or instructions on the distribution of funds.
The 20[●]-[●] SUBI may only be terminated under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the 20[●]-[●] SUBI Supplement. The Titling Trust or the UTI may terminate upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SUBI Trust Agreement.
A-3 | (NALT 20[●]-[●] SUBI Supplement) |
No SUBI or SUBI Certificate shall be transferred or assigned except to the extent specified in the SUBI Trust Agreement or in any related Supplement and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any such purported transfer or assignment other than as so specified shall be deemed null, void, and of no effect under the SUBI Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any SUBI Certificate and the interest in the SUBI evidenced thereby may be (i) transferred, assigned or pledged to any Special Purpose Affiliate or (ii) transferred, assigned or pledged by the Related Beneficiary or a Special Purpose Affiliate to or in favor of (A) a trustee for one or more trusts or (B) one or more other entities, in either case solely for the purpose of securing or otherwise facilitating one or more Securitized Financings.
This 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflicts of law provisions.
Unless this 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Titling Trustee, by manual signature, this 20[●]-[●] SUBI Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the SUBI Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
