The Receivables

SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.

(a) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable (i) has been originated in the United States of America by a Dealer for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, has been fully and properly executed or authenticated by the parties thereto, has been purchased by the Seller from NMAC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which in turn has purchased such Receivables from such Dealer under an existing dealer agreement with NMAC, and has been validly assigned by such Dealer to NMAC, which in turn has been validly assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller in accordance with its terms, (ii) created a valid, subsisting and enforceable security interest in favor of NMAC in such Financed Vehicle, which security interest has been validly assigned pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by NMAC to the Seller, which in turn has been validly assigned by the Seller to the Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) contains customary and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits of the security, (iv) provides for level monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable may be minimally different from the level payment) that fully amortize the Amount Financed over an original term of no greater than 75 payments, subject to the fact that some Receivables provide for a deferral of initial payments of up to 90 days, but all Obligors have made the initial payment on the related Receivables, and (v) provides for interest at the related APR.

(b) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables was true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cut-off Date; the Receivables were selected from NMAC’s retail installment sale contracts meeting the criteria of the Trust set forth in this Agreement; and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the Securityholders were utilized in selecting the Receivables.

(d) 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 provisions in certain states.

(e) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. (i) Immediately prior to the sale, assignment and transfer thereof to the Issuer, each Receivable was secured by a validly perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of NMAC as secured party or all necessary and 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 NMAC as secured party, and (ii) as of the Cut-off Date, according to the records of NMAC, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed and the possession thereof not reinstated.

(f) 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.

(g) No Waiver. No provision of a Receivable has been waived in a manner that is prohibited by the provisions of Section 4.01 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.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

Each Receivable File contains the original certificate of title (or a photocopy or image thereof) or evidence that an application for a certificate of title has been filed. To the extent the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement is deemed to be other than a sale, this Agreement and all filings described under this Agreement create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

(m) 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 are unlawful, void or voidable.

The Receivable Files that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer.

Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred (or, at the Seller’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following such Collection Period), the Seller shall be obligated (whether or not such breach was known to the Seller on the Closing Date), and the Issuer shall enforce the obligation of the Seller under this Agreement to repurchase any Receivable the Securityholders’ interest in which was materially and adversely affected by the breach as of such last day. 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 the purchase of the Receivables, the Seller shall remit (or cause to be remitted) the Warranty Purchase Payment in the manner specified in Section 5.05.

ARTICLE IV

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.01 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer 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. Except with respect to Defaulted Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Warranty Receivables or to the extent required by state or federal law or court order, the Servicer shall not change the amount of or reschedule the due date of any Scheduled Payment beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes; provided, however, that:

(1) (A) if a default, breach, violation, delinquency or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any Receivable shall have occurred or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is imminent, the Servicer may modify or extend such Receivable in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices and (B) the Servicer may reduce an Obligor’s monthly payment amount in the event of a prepayment resulting from refunds of credit life and disability insurance premiums and service contracts and make similar adjustments in an Obligor’s payment terms to the extent required by law;


		32		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(2) if at the end of the scheduled term of any Receivable, the outstanding principal amount thereof is such that the final payment to be made by the related Obligor is larger than the regularly scheduled payment of principal and interest made by such Obligor, the Servicer may permit such Obligor to pay such remaining principal amount in more than one payment of principal and interest, provided that the last such payment shall be due on or prior to the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes; and

(3) the Servicer may in its discretion waive any late fees, prepayment charges and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable.

(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, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and making Advances pursuant to Section 5.04. 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 is not required to make any payments or distributions on behalf of an Obligor. In addition, if and to the extent applicable, the Servicer’s duties shall include the execution and delivery of any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.

(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, the Issuer (in the case of a Receivable other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) 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.


		33		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 4.02 Collection of Receivable Payments.

Except for Advances made pursuant to Section 5.04, there are no requirements under the Basic Documents for advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Except for the requirements set forth in Section 5.04 relating to Advances, there are no requirements under the Basic Documents for the making, review or approval of Advances.

SECTION 4.03 Realization upon Receivables. On behalf of the Trust, 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. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Seller or the Servicer may not enforce a repurchased Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, at the written direction and expense of the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, take such reasonable steps as the Seller or the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name or names of the Issuer, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.

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 Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, to grant to the Trust a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Trust 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 Trust. 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.


		34		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 4.05 Covenants of Servicer.

(a) 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.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) Except with respect to Defaulted Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Warranty Receivables or to the extent required by law or court order, the Servicer shall not alter the APR of any Receivable or forgive payments on a Receivable. Except as provided in Section 4.01, the Servicer shall not modify the number of payments under a Receivable, increase the amount financed under a Receivable, or extend the due date for any payment on a Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for the Class A-4 Notes.

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) If the Seller is required to pay tax under the second sentence of Section 6.03 and if such tax is not paid by the Seller, then the Servicer shall pay such tax (or cause such tax to be paid) to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of the Issuer.

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 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 that would materially and adversely affect any Receivable. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which such discovery occurred (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following such Collection Period), the Servicer shall (whether or not such breach was known to the Servicer on the Closing Date) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach as of such last day. 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 Administrative Purchase Payment (as reduced by any Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable) in the manner specified in Section 5.05. For the purposes of this Section 4.06, the Administrative Purchase Payment shall consist in part of a release by the Servicer of all rights of reimbursement with respect to Outstanding Advances with respect to the purchased Receivable. The sole remedy of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Trust or the Securityholders against the Servicer with respect to a breach by the Servicer of its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 4.06.

If the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied, the Base Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any portion of the Base Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from the prior Distribution Date) may be paid at the beginning of that Collection Period out of collections of interest on the related Receivables.

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, 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 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.

SECTION 4.09 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.

(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning June 30, 2015, an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the prior fiscal year of the Servicer ended such calendar year (or with respect to the initial Officer’s Certificate, the period from the date of the initial issuance of the Notes to March 31, 2015), 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 its obligations in all material respects under this Agreement throughout such twelve-month (or shorter) period, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill of any such obligation, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such Officer’s Certificate may be obtained by any Certificateholder or Noteholder by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee addressed as set forth in Section 10.03 hereof.

(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) of any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01.


		36		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(c) Except to the extent set forth in Section 4.09(b) of this Agreement and Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the Basic Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default.

In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable prior written request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer.

(b) Nothing in this Section 4.11 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.

SECTION 4.12 Appointment of Subservicer. So long as NMAC acts as the Servicer, the Servicer may at any time without notice or consent delegate any or all of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. The Servicer may at any time perform specific duties as servicer under this Agreement through other subcontractors; provided, however, that no such delegation or subcontracting shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibilities with respect to such duties as to which the Servicer shall remain primarily responsible with respect thereto. For any servicing activities delegated to third parties in accordance with this Section 4.12, the Servicer shall follow such policies and procedures to monitor the performance of such third parties and compliance with such servicing activities as the Servicer follows with respect to comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for its own account.

SECTION 4.13 [Reserved]

SECTION 4.14 Acknowledgement by Servicer of its Obligations under the Indenture. The Servicer hereby agrees and consents to the provisions of the Indenture applicable to it (including, without limitation, Section 8.03(a) and Section 8.03(b) thereof) and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

SECTION 4.15 Compliance with Regulation AB. So long as the Seller is required to file any reports with respect to the Issuer under the Exchange Act, the Servicer agrees to perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A attached hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein applicable to it.

(a) The Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the following accounts:

(i) For the benefit of the Securityholders in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an account (the “Collection Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account initially established with the Indenture Trustee; and

(ii) For the benefit of the Securityholders in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an account (the “Reserve Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account initially established with the Indenture Trustee.

(b) All amounts held in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account (collectively, the “Accounts”) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations and as directed by the Servicer, be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Indenture. All such Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date, in such manner that such amounts invested shall be available to make the required distributions on the Distribution Date; provided, that if permitted by the Rating Agencies, monies on deposit therein may be invested in Eligible Investments that mature later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date; provided, further, that such investment shall be sold not later than the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer not to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

(c) If either (i) the Servicer, in its sole discretion and for any reason, notifies the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in writing that the Accounts should be moved or (ii) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, notifies the Servicer that the short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, no longer have the Required Deposit Rating, then, in each case, the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days after receipt of the notice described in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, cause the Accounts (x) to be moved to segregated trust


		38		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

accounts in a bank or trust company selected by the Servicer, the short term unsecured debt obligations of which shall have the Required Deposit Rating, or (y) to be moved to the trust department of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, shall assist the Servicer with the moving of Accounts described in the preceding sentence.

(d) Earnings on investment of funds in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, as applicable.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Distribution Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full (or when substantially all of the Collateral is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to the Designated Account, and take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Securityholders, to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment to Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Distribution Date. After the transfer to the Designated Account described in the immediately preceding sentence, references in this Agreement to “Collection Account” shall be deemed to be references to the “Designated Account.”

(f) With respect to the Accounts and all property held therein, the Owner Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be), and the Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as the case may be, as set forth in the Indenture. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to withhold, or to be reimbursed from amounts otherwise payable into or on deposit in the Collection Account, as the case may be, amounts previously deposited in the Collection Account but later determined to have resulted from mistaken deposits or posting.

(g) With respect to the Account Property, the parties hereto agree that:

(i) any Account Property that consists of uninvested funds shall be held solely in Eligible Accounts and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and, except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee or its designee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;


		39		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(ii) any Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee, in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or any such designee;

(iii) any Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (iv) below shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee or such designee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its designee’s) ownership of such security on the books of the issuer thereof; and

(iv) any Account Property that is an uncertificated security that is a “book-entry security” (as such term is defined in Federal Reserve Bank Operating Circular No. 7) held in a securities account at a Federal Reserve Bank and eligible for transfer through the Fedwire^® Securities Service operated by the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee or its designee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee or such designee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Account Property as described in such paragraph.

(h) No checks shall be issued, printed, or honored with respect to the Collection Account, the Reserve Account, or the Trust Collection Account.

SECTION 5.02 Collections.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables (excluding payments on the Warranty Receivables or the Administrative Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds not later than the second Business Day after identification thereof. For purposes of this Article V, the phrase “payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors” shall mean payments made by Persons other than the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as (i) NMAC is the Servicer, (ii) (A) NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least “Prime-1” by Xxxxx’x and at least “F1” by Fitch (so long as Xxxxx’x and Fitch are Rating Agencies), (B) NMAC maintains a letter of credit or other form of enhancement acceptable to each Rating Agency to support NMAC’s obligation to deposit collections into the Collection Account, or (C) NMAC otherwise satisfies each Rating Agency’s requirements, and (iii) no Event of Default or Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless waived by the appropriate Securityholders) (collectively, the “Monthly Remittance Conditions”), the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections to


		40		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

the Collection Account on the foregoing basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without segregation from its other funds, until the Business Day before each Distribution Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all future collections on or in respect of the Receivables (other than payments on Warranty Receivables and the Administrative Receivables) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Collection Account not later than the second Business Day after identification thereof. 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 shall have been 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.

(b) The Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event or circumstances under clause (iii) of the definition of the Monthly Remittance Condition unless the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee has received notice of such event or circumstance from the Seller or the Servicer in an Officer’s Certificate or from the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee with knowledge hereof or familiarity herewith has actual knowledge of such event or circumstances.

(c) The Servicer shall give (i) the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice, as soon as practical after the occurrence thereof but in no event later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, of the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition (and any subsequent curing of a failed Monthly Remittance Condition) (it being understood that if the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, no such notice shall be required in connection therewith).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, the Servicer may utilize an alternative remittance schedule (which may include the remittance schedule utilized by the Servicer before the Monthly Remittance Condition failed to be satisfied), if the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such alternative remittance schedule.

SECTION 5.03 Application of Collections. All collections for the related Collection Period with respect to each Receivable (including any payoff) shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices.


		41		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 5.04 Advances.

(a) The Servicer shall make a payment with respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable, a Warranty Receivable or a Liquidated Receivable) (each, an “Advance”) equal to the excess if any, of (x) the product of the Principal Balance of such Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its APR (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), over (y) the interest actually received by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable from the Obligor or from payments of the Administrative Purchase Payment or the Warranty Purchase Payment, as the case may be, during such Collection Period. The Servicer will not be obligated to make an Advance in respect of a Receivable (other than an Advance in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to each Receivable, the Advance shall increase the Outstanding Advances. No Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of the Receivables. The Servicer shall deposit all such Advances into the Collection Account in immediately available funds no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date.

(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(i) or Section 5.06(d)(ii): (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds, and (iii) the Warranty Purchase Payments.

(c) To the extent that the Servicer has determined that any Outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer may provide to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance, and on the related Distribution Date, the Relevant Trustee shall remit to the Servicer from funds on deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(ii) or Section 5.06(d)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as NMAC is the Servicer, in lieu of causing the Servicer first to deposit and then the Relevant Trustee to remit to the Servicer the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) in Section 5.04(b) reimbursable in respect on Outstanding Advances, or the amounts described in Section 5.04(c) applicable in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.04(a), no Successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee, shall be obligated to make Advances unless it has expressly agreed to do so in writing.

The Seller

SECTION 6.01 Representations of Seller. The Seller makes the following representations on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.

(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, the Certificates or the Notes; (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates, or the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Indenture; (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Certificates or the Notes; or (iv) relating to the Seller and that would adversely affect the federal or any state income tax attributes of the Issuer, the Certificates or the Notes.

		49		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 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 Trust 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. If the Seller shall have made any indemnity payment to any Person entitled thereto pursuant to this Section 6.03 and such Person thereafter shall collect any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest (except to the extent the recipient collects interest from others).

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 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).

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


		50		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

(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.

SECTION 6.04 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Subject to Section 6.02, any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller or (iv) that is a corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by Nissan, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall have been breached, (y) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement or assumption comply with this Section 6.04 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (z) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on customary qualifications and assumptions, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to perfect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Seller shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section 6.04 to the Servicer and the Servicer shall provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 6.05 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.

(a) Neither the Seller nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Seller shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Seller or any such


		51		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Seller and any director, 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. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed therefor.

SECTION 6.06 Seller May Own Certificates or Notes. The Seller and any Affiliate of the Seller may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents. Certificates or Notes so owned by or pledged to the Seller or such controlling or commonly controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Certificates or the Notes, as the case may be, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Basic Documents.

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(a)(i)(K) and 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


		57		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

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 (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 Total 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 (except the initial Servicer’s obligation to make Advances) 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.

(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.

SECTION 8.03 Repayment of Advances. If the Servicer shall resign or be terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive, to the extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.04 with respect to all Advances previously made thereby.


		58		(Nissan 2014-B Sale and Servicing Agreement)

SECTION 8.04 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 Administrator (and the Administrator will provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Administration Agreement).

SECTION 8.05 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 Collateral (other than the Reserve Account) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price (the “Optional Purchase”). To exercise such option, NMAC, as Servicer, shall notify the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to do so in writing, no later than the first Business Day of the month in which such purchase is to be effected and shall, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur (such Distribution Date, the “Redemption Date”), deposit pursuant to Section 5.05 in the Collection Account, an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price (subject to Section 5.09), and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Collateral (other than the Reserve Account). Amounts so deposited will be paid and distributed as set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement. Upon such deposit of the amount necessary to purchase the Collateral (other than the Reserve Account), the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables.

(b) Notice of any such purchase of the Owner Trust Estate shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice thereof from the Servicer.

(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 the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to Sections 3.02, 4.06 and 9.02.

SECTION 9.03 Termination.

(b) Notice of any such termination under this Section 9.03 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to each Securityholder of record as specified in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as appropriate.

SECTION 9.04 Rights of the Certificateholders.
