SERVICING OF THE 2012-A LEASES AND 2012-A VEHICLES
Section 8.01 Identification of 2012-A Leases and 2012-A Vehicles; Securitization Value. The Servicer hereby identifies as 2012-A SUBI Assets the Leased Vehicles and the Leases relating to such Leased Vehicles more particularly described in the Schedule of 2012-A Leases and 2012-A Vehicles (respectively, the “2012-A Vehicles” and the “2012-A Leases”). The Servicer shall calculate the Securitization Value for each 2012-A Lease as of the Cutoff Date.
Section 8.02 Reallocation and Repurchase of 2012-A Leases and 2012-A Vehicles; Purchase of Matured Vehicles; Lease Pull-Forwards.
(a) (i) If the Servicer grants a lease term extension with respect to any 2012-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 2012-A Lease shall have occurred or, in the judgment of the Servicer, is imminent), the Servicer shall, on the related Deposit Date, (A) deposit or cause to be deposited into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase
2 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
Payment and (B) direct the Titling Trustee to either reallocate such 2012-A Lease and the related 2012-A Vehicle from the 2012-A SUBI to the UTI or an Other SUBI or cause such 2012-A Lease and 2012-A Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer; and (ii) if a Lessee changes the domicile of or title to a 2012-A Vehicle and such change would result in the Titling Trust doing business in a Restricted Jurisdiction, the Servicer, on the related Deposit Date, (A) shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment, and (B) shall direct the Titling Trustee to either reallocate such 2012-A Lease and the related 2012-A Vehicle from the 2012-A SUBI to an Other SUBI or the UTI or cause such 2012-A Lease and 2012-A Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer.
(b) The Servicer hereby makes to the other parties hereto and the parties to the SUBI Trust Agreement the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.06(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement as to each 2012-A Lease and 2012-A Vehicle as of the Vehicle Representation Date. The Servicer also hereby represents and warrants that (i) each 2012-A Lease is an 2012-A Eligible Lease, and (ii) it used no adverse selection procedures in selecting any of the 2012-A Leases or any of the 2012-A Vehicles for allocation to the 2012-A SUBI. Upon discovery by the Titling Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor that any representation or warranty in this Section 8.02(b) was incorrect as of the Cutoff Date in a manner that materially adversely affects the interest of the Securityholders in the related 2012-A Lease or 2012-A Vehicle, the entity discovering such incorrectness shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer. Any such incorrectness will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such incorrectness does not affect the ability of the Issuing Entity to receive and retain timely payments in full on such 2012-A Lease or 2012-A Leased Vehicle. If the Servicer does not cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition with respect to which the representation or warranty was incorrect as of the Cutoff Date prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer discovers such incorrectness (whether pursuant to such notice or otherwise), then the Servicer shall (i) deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment on the Deposit Date following the end of such Collection Period, and (ii) direct the Titling Trustee to either reallocate such 2012-A Lease and the related 2012-A Vehicle from the 2012-A SUBI to an Other SUBI or the UTI or cause such 2012-A Lease and 2012-A Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer on the Deposit Date.
(c) Immediately prior to the sale or disposition of a Matured Vehicle or a Defaulted Vehicle, the Servicer may reallocate such Matured Vehicle or Defaulted Vehicle from the 2012-A SUBI to the UTI for purposes of implementing NMAC’s like kind exchange program. In connection with such reallocation, NILT Trust, as the UTI Beneficiary, will cause to be deposited into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account the Reallocation Payments no later than two Business Days after such reallocation, or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is met, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the Reallocation Payments received during a Collection Period until such amounts are required to be disbursed as set forth in Section 8.03(c). Upon receipt of the Reallocation Payments, the 2012-A SUBI shall have no claim against or interest in such Matured or Defaulted Vehicle.
(d) In connection with the purchase by the Servicer of a Matured Vehicle relating to a 2012-A Lease pursuant to Section 2.06(f) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, if (i) no
3 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
Sales Proceeds Advance has been made, the purchase price of such Matured Vehicle will equal the Securitization Value of such 2012-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 2012-A Lease and the related 2012-A Vehicle are reallocated to the UTI, until such time thereafter, if ever, as such Lease and Leased Vehicle are allocated to an Other SUBI, the Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Related Beneficiaries, the Issuing Entity and the Titling Trust from and against any and all loss or liability with respect to or resulting from such 2012-A Lease or 2012-A Vehicle (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) except the Servicer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Related Beneficiaries, the Issuing Entity and the Titling Trust 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 SUBI Collection Account within the time period required for the Servicer to deposit collections into the SUBI 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 SUBI 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 SUBI Collections and amounts in respect of the 2012-A SUBI 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 Basic Servicing Agreement, deposit into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account all Repurchase Payments pursuant to Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b), and any Reallocation Payments pursuant to Section 8.02(c);
(ii) on, or prior to each Deposit Date, deposit into the 2012-A SUBI 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
4 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
(iii) on each Payment Date, pursuant to the related Payment Date Certificate, allocate Available Funds on deposit in the 2012-A SUBI 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 2012-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.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.07 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall remit into the SUBI 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.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 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”):
(i) (A) NMAC (or its successors pursuant to Section 5.03(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement) is the Servicer, and (B) NMAC’s short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated at least “Prime-1” by Moody’s and “F-1” by Fitch (in each case, so long as Moody’s 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 2012-A SUBI Collection Account, SUBI 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,
5 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
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.
(d) Notwithstanding Sections 2.07(a) and 2.11(a) of the Basic 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 2012-A Servicing Supplement, NMAC (as Servicer or in any other capacity) shall be permitted to deposit into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account only the net amount distributable to the Issuing Entity, as holder of the 2012-A SUBI 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 Titling Trustee, the Trust Agent, 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 2012-A SUBI Assets in the form of (i) interest and earnings on investment of funds in the 2012-A SUBI Trust Accounts, provided that any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the applicable 2012-A SUBI Trust Account, and (ii) Administrative Charges to the extent not required for the payment of insurance premiums, taxes, or similar charges allocable to the 2012-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.
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 2012-A SUBI 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 2012-A SUBI 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
6 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
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 2012-A Lease, and shall deposit the Residual Value Surplus, if any, into the 2012-A SUBI Collection Account. If the Net Auction Proceeds are less than the Securitization Value of the related 2012-A Lease, the Servicer may deduct the difference from SUBI 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 2012-A SUBI Collection Account. Within six months of receiving such reimbursement, if the related 2012-A Vehicle has not been sold, the Servicer shall, if permitted by applicable law, cause such 2012-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 2012-A SUBI 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 2012-A Lease or 2012-A Vehicle.
Section 8.07 Third Party Claims. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14 of the Basic 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 2012-A SUBI 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 against third party claims that may be raised against the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee on behalf of the Titling Trust 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.
7 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
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 Titling Trustee and each Related Beneficiary a Settlement Statement, 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, 2012, 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, 2012, a report assessing the Servicer’s compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in the relevant SEC regulations for asset-backed securities transactions, including Items 1122 and 1123 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.
(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, 2012, 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, 2012), 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.
8 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
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, 2012, 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 an annual 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.

(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;
(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 2012-A SUBI 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;
(iii) any representation, warranty, or statement of the Servicer made in the Servicing Agreement, any other Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the Servicing Agreement that proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of a Holder of the 2012-A SUBI Certificate or the holders of the Notes, or the Trust Certificateholders, 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 Titling Trustee or the related holders evidencing a Majority Interest in the applicable Securities, or such default becomes known to the Servicer;
(iv) (A) the existence of any Proceeding in, or the entry of a decree or order for relief by, a court or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, (B) the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, or other similar official with respect to the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property or (C) the ordering of the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer, and in each case, the continuance of any such Proceeding unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days, or immediately upon entry of any decree or order; or
(v) the Servicer (A) applies for or consents to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (B) is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due, (C) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (D) commences a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws (E) is adjudicated to be bankrupt or insolvent, (F) files a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law providing for the relief of debtors, or (G) takes any corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing, and in each case, the continuance of any such event remains unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, (i) for the purpose of determining what constitutes a Servicer Default with respect to the 2012-A SUBI, the provisions contained in this Section 8.12(a) shall replace in their entirety the provisions contained in Section 4.01(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement and (ii) any Servicer Default with respect to the 2012-A SUBI shall not constitute a Servicing Default with respect to any other Sub-Trust and any Servicing Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) with respect to any other Sub-Trust shall constitute a Servicer Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) only with respect to such Sub-Trust and not with respect to the 2012-A SUBI.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer, in addition to complying with the notice requirements of Section 4.01(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement (except that references therein to Registered Pledgees shall mean each Registered Pledgee of the 2012-A SUBI Certificate), 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) In addition to the provisions of Section 4.01(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, if a Servicer Default shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2012-A SUBI, the Titling Trustee, on behalf of the Titling Trust, shall, at the direction of the Required
10 | (NALT 2012-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
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 Related Beneficiary and the holders of the Rated Securities affected by that Servicer Default, and such notice will terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this 2012-A Servicing Supplement in accordance with such Section. In the event that the Servicer is removed as servicer with respect to servicing the 2012-A SUBI Assets, subject to the consent of the Titling Trustee, 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 Trustee. Such successor Servicer shall be approved by the Titling Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01(e) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, with respect to any Servicer Default related to the 2012-A SUBI Assets, the Titling Trustee, 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 2012-A SUBI 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 2012-A SUBI 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 Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero.
(d) If the Servicer is removed with respect to servicing the 2012-A SUBI Assets, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances made pursuant to this 2012-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 2.06(a) and Section 5.01 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, except that references to “this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Servicing Agreement, as such term is defined herein.
Section 8.14 Compliance with Regulation AB. The Servicer agrees to perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuing Entity set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein applicable to it.
Section 8.15 Possession of Lease Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.03 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer or its designee may hold the Lease Documents at locations in the continental United States. The Servicer will furnish to the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after receiving a request therefor, a list of all locations where Lease Documents are kept.
