2. Representations and Warranties of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC. Each of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to and agrees with the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”) that:

(a) A registration statement (Nos. 333-105666 and 333-105666-01) and Amendment No. 1 thereto, including a form of prospectus supplement relating to the

Notes and a form of base prospectus relating to each class of notes to be registered under such registration statement (the “Registered Notes”), has been filed on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and either (i) has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and is not proposed to be amended or (ii) is proposed to be amended by amendment or post-effective amendment. If such registration statement (the “initial registration statement”) has been declared effective, either (i) any additional registration statement (the “additional registration statement”) relating to the Notes has been filed with the Commission pursuant to rule 462(b) (“Rule 462(b)”) under the Act and declared effective upon filing, and the Notes have been registered under the Act pursuant to the initial registration statement and such additional registration statement or (ii) any such additional registration statement proposed to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) will become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(b) and upon such filing the Notes will have been duly registered under the Act pursuant to the initial registration statement and such additional registration statement. If the Transferor and the Trust do not propose to amend the initial registration statement, any such additional registration statement or any post-effective amendment to either such registration statement filed with the Commission prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, then the most recent amendment (if any) to each such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act (“Rule 462(c)”) or Rule 462(b).

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Effective Time” with respect to the initial registration statement or, if filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the additional registration statement means (i) if the Transferor and the Trust have advised the Underwriters that they do not propose to amend such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) or (ii) if the Transferor and the Trust have advised the Underwriters that they propose to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. If the Transferor and the Trust have advised the Underwriters that they propose to file, but have not filed, an additional registration statement, the term “Effective Time” with respect to such additional registration statement means the date and time as of which such registration statement is filed and becomes effective pursuant to Rule 462(b). The term “Effective Date” with respect to the initial registration statement or the additional registration statement (if any) means the date of the Effective Time thereof.

(c) The registration statement (Nos. 333-105666 and 333-105666-01) and Amendment No. 1 thereto and all other amendments and supplements thereto, as amended at its Effective Time, including all information (i) contained in the additional registration statement (if any), (ii) deemed to be a part of the initial registration statement as of the Effective Time of the additional registration statement (if any) pursuant to the General Instructions of the Form on which it is filed and (iii) deemed to be a part of the

initial registration statement as of its Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430A(b) under the Act (“Rule 430A(b)”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Registration Statement.” The additional registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, as amended at its Effective Time, including the contents of the initial registration statement incorporated by reference therein and deemed to be a part of the additional registration statement as of its Effective Time pursuant to Rule 430A(b), is hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Registration Statement.” The Initial Registration Statement, the Additional Registration Statement and all Incorporated Documents (as defined below) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Registration Statements” and individually as a “Registration Statement.” As used herein, the term “Incorporated Documents”, when used with respect to the Registration Statement as of any date, means the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement as of such date pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 or pursuant to a no-action letter of the Commission. The preliminary prospectus supplement dated July 12, 2005, relating to the Notes (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and the preliminary prospectus (the “Preliminary Base Prospectus”) relating to the Registered Notes (including the Notes), as filed with the Commission on July 12, 2005 in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act (“Rule 424(b)”), including all material incorporated by reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Prospectus.” The prospectus supplement, dated July 12, 2005 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), relating to the Notes and the prospectus, dated July 12, 2005 (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to the Registered Notes (including the Notes), as filed with the Commission in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b), including all material incorporated by reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus”.

(d) (i) On the Effective Date of any Registration Statement whose Effective Time is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement conformed, (ii) on the date of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement conforms and (iii) on any related Effective Date subsequent to the date of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement will conform, in all respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”) and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”), and at such times each such Registration Statement, as amended, did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At the time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) or, if no such filing is required, at the Effective Date of the Additional Registration Statement that includes the Prospectus, on the date of this Agreement and at the Series 2005-A Issuance Date (as defined in Section 3(c) of this Agreement), the Prospectus will conform, in all respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and does not include, and will not include, any untrue statement of a material fact, nor does the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, omit, nor will it omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The two preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus based upon written information furnished to the Transferor and the Trust by any Underwriter specifically for use therein or to that part of the Registration Statement

which constitutes the Statement of Qualification under the 1939 Act on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”) of the Indenture Trustee (which will be represented and warranted to by the Indenture Trustee). If the Effective Time of the Registration Statement is subsequent to the date of this Agreement, no Additional Registration Statement has been or will be filed. The Indenture has been qualified under the 1939 Act.

(h) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, and the fulfillment of the terms thereof, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee, lease financing agreement, or similar agreement or instrument under which any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is a debtor or guarantor, except where such conflict, breach, default or creation would not have a

material adverse effect on the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or NMAC’s respective ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability thereof.

(i) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained or made by any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents except such as have been obtained and made under the Act, such as may be required under state securities laws and the filing of any financing statements required to perfect the Trust’s interest in the Receivables.

(j) None of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is in violation of its trust agreement, certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation, as applicable, or by-laws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties are bound which would have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated in the Basic Documents or on the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or NMAC’s respective ability to perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of the Basic Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will not, subject to obtaining any consents or approvals as may be required under the securities or “blue sky” laws of various jurisdictions: (i) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC or their respective properties or any agreement or instrument to which any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is a party or by which any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is bound or to which any of their respective properties are subject, except where such breach, violation, or default would not have a material adverse effect on the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or NMAC’s respective ability to perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability thereof, or (ii) conflict with the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or NMAC’s charter or by-laws, and each of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC has the requisite power and authority to enter into each Basic Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(k) Each Basic Document to which the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and (assuming the due authorization and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto and thereto) constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(l) The Notes have been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered in accordance with the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the

Trust in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(m) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is a party or to which any property of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC is the subject, and to the knowledge of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC, as applicable, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others, (i) (whether individually or in the aggregate) that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or (ii)(A) asserting the invalidity of all or part of any Basic Document, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes, (C) (whether individually or in the aggregate) that would materially and adversely affect the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or NMAC’s obligations under any Basic Document to which it is a party, or (D) (whether individually or in the aggregate) seeking to affect adversely the federal or state income tax attributes of the Notes.

(f) Xxx Xxxxxx, Esq., General Counsel of the Transferor and NMAC, or other counsel satisfactory to the Underwriters in its reasonable judgment, shall have furnished to the Underwriters such counsel’s written opinion, dated the Series 2005-A Issuance Date, in substantially the form set forth below, with such changes therein as counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably agree:

(i) The Transferor is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as contemplated in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its property requires such qualification, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Transferor’s ability to perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party.

(ii) NMAC is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of California with corporate power and authority to own its properties and

conduct its business as contemplated in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its property requires such qualification, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on NMAC’s ability to perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party.

(iii) Each of the Transferor and NMAC has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which it is a party.

(iv) The execution and delivery by each of the Transferor and NMAC of each Basic Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Transferor and NMAC, as applicable, and each Basic Document to which each is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it.

(v) The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Transferor and NMAC of each Basic Document to which it is a party and performance by each of them of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder will not violate, result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Transferor or NMAC (other than as contemplated in the Basic Documents) pursuant to the terms of (A) NMAC’s Articles of Incorporation or the Transferor’s Certificate of Incorporation, (B) NMAC’s and the Transferor’s By-Laws, (C) any material agreement or instrument to which NMAC or the Transferor is a party or by which either NMAC or the Transferor or any of their respective properties is bound, (D) the Delaware General Corporation Law or any statute, rule, regulation or order of any California or federal governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over NMAC, the Transferor or their respective properties or (E) the Notes.

(vi) No authorization, approval, consent, order or permit of any California or federal governmental agency or authority is required on the part of NMAC or the Transferor in connection with the execution and delivery of and performance by NMAC or the Transferor of any Basic Document to which it is a party, except such as may be required under the Act or the Rules and Regulations and state securities laws, and except for such authorizations, approvals or consents (specified in such opinion) as are in full force and effect as of the Effective Date and the Series 2005-A Issuance Date.

(vii) Nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that would cause such counsel to believe that as of the Effective Date and at the Series 2005-A Issuance Date the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as then amended and supplemented (other than the financial statements and the other accounting information contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel

need express no belief) contained or contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the descriptions therein of statutes and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents are inaccurate and do not fairly present the information required to be shown therein.

(viii) Such counsel does not know of any contract or other document of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, which is not filed or described as required.

(ix) There are no legal or governmental proceedings known by such counsel, or for which the Transferor or NMAC has been served official notice, to be pending to which the Transferor or NMAC is a party or to which any property of the Transferor or NMAC is the subject, and no such proceedings are known by such counsel to be threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others, (A) (whether individually or in the aggregate) that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or (B)(1) asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of all or part of any Basic Document, (2) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes, (3) (whether individually or in the aggregate) that would materially and adversely affect the Transferor’s or NMAC’s obligations under any Basic Document to which it is a party, or (4) (whether individually or in the aggregate) seeking to affect adversely the federal or state income tax attributes of the Notes.

(x) The Transferor has duly authorized and executed the written order to the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver the issuer order to the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Notes.

(xi) Such counsel is familiar with NMAC’s standard operating procedures relating to the perfected first priority security interest granted to NMAC by the Dealers in the Vehicles and the Receivables and the perfected security interest in other Collateral (which security interest may be subordinate) in the ordinary course of NMAC’s business and relating to the sale by NMAC to the Transferor of such Receivables and such security interests in the ordinary course of NMAC’s and the Transferor’s businesses. Assuming that NMAC’s standard procedures are followed with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Vehicles, the Receivables and the security interest in the other Collateral (which security interest may be subordinate) (and such counsel has no reason to believe that NMAC has not or will not continue to follow its standard procedures in connection with the perfection of security interests in the Vehicles and the Receivables and the subordinated security interest in the other Collateral), NMAC has acquired or will acquire a perfected first priority security interest in the Vehicles and the Receivables and a perfected security interest in the other Collateral (which security interest may be subordinate).

(xii) Each of the Transferor and NMAC has obtained all necessary governmental licenses and governmental approvals under the federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of California to conduct their respective businesses where the failure to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any material part of the corpus of the Trust unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of either the Transferor or NMAC to perform any of their respective obligations under, or the enforceability of, any of the Basic Documents.

(xii) To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations, pending or threatened, to which the Transferor, NMAC or the Trust is a party or of which any property of the Transferor, NMAC or the Trust is the subject, required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, other than those disclosed therein, (A) asserting the invalidity of any Basic Document or the Notes, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Basic Document or (C) seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the Notes as described in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading “MATERIAL

(xxi) The Transferor has duly authorized and executed the written order to the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver the issuer order to the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Notes.

In addition, such counsel shall state that such counsel has reviewed the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Transferor and NMAC, representatives of their independent public accountants, representatives of the Underwriters and their counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. The purpose of such counsel’s professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and such counsel has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature. Subject to the foregoing, such counsel confirms to the Underwriters that, on the basis of the information such counsel gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, nothing came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, and as of the Series 2005-A Issuance Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except, to the extent set forth in paragraphs II.I and II.J of its opinion, to be delivered on the Series 2005-A Issuance Date, with respect to certain corporate matters).

Such counsel’s opinions as to the legal, valid and binding nature and enforceability of any agreement or instrument are subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) to general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial

reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief. In addition, such counsel expresses no opinion regarding: (i) any severability provision in the Basic Documents; or (ii) any provision of any Basic Documents that purports to (a) appoint any person as the attorney-in-fact of any other person, (b) provide that all rights or remedies of any party are cumulative and may be enforced in addition to any other right or remedy and that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more remedies, (c) permit set-off in the absence of mutuality between the parties, (d) confer subject matter jurisdiction on a federal court to adjudicate any controversy in any situation in which such court would not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (e) waive the right to jury trial or any right to object to the laying of venue or any claim that an action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The opinions of such counsel with respect to any agreement of the Transferor or NMAC to indemnify any person (including by way of contribution) are subject to the qualifications that any indemnity obligation may be limited by public policy considerations and may be subject to defenses available to sureties arising from actions of the indemnified party.

(viii) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Trust of each Basic Document to which the Trust is a party, nor the consummation by the Trust is any of the transactions contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the withholding of objection on the part of, the giving of notice to,

the filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware, other than the filing of the Trust’s Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Further, purchasers not otherwise subject to taxation in Delaware will not be subject to taxation in Delaware solely because of the purchase or ownership of the Notes.

(xii) (A) The financing statement on form UCC-1, naming (1) Nissan Wholesale Receivables Corporation II (“NWRC II”) as debtor, the Trust as assignor secured party and the Indenture Trustee, as secured party, filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (Uniform Commercial Code Section) (“the Division”) is in an appropriate form for filing in the State of Delaware.

The term “Computational Materials” has the meaning assigned to it in the May 17, 1994 letter of Xxxxx & Wood LLP on behalf of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Co., Inc. (which letter, and the Commission’s response thereto, were publicly available May 20, 1994).

(b) Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, each Collateral Term Sheet, each Structural Term Sheet, all Computational Materials, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC by such Underwriter specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Transferor, the Trust and NMAC acknowledge and agree that the only such information furnished to the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC by any Underwriter consists of the following: the statements in the third paragraph (concerning

initial offering prices, concessions and reallowances) and in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh paragraphs (concerning stabilizing and other activities) under the heading “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under such preceding paragraphs, and with respect to such preceding paragraphs, any such omission shall not relieve it from any liability except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may be counsel to the Indemnifying Party) and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and after acceptance of counsel by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party) or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such proceeding but has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, with respect to any action brought against any Indemnified Party, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed within a reasonable period of time as they are incurred. Any separate firm appointed for the Underwriters and any Control Person in accordance with this subsection (c) shall be designated in writing by an Underwriter, and any such separate firm appointed for the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC, its respective directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and Control Persons in accordance with this subsection (c) shall be designated in writing by the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC, as the case may be. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, with respect to an action of which the Indemnifying Party was notified and had the opportunity to

participate in (whether or not it chose to so participate), the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, and during such 60 day period the Indemnifying Party has not responded thereto, and (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding which release does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Transferor, the Trust, NMAC and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to

include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Transferor, the Trust and NMAC under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC, to each officer of the Transferor, the Trust or NMAC who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Transferor or NMAC within the meaning of the Act.

(f) The Trust’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subordinated to its obligations to make payments on the Notes and the notes of any other series issued by it and will only be paid to the extent of available funds.

8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Trust, the Transferor, NMAC or their respective officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Transferor or NMAC or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any Control Person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement or if for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Transferor shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, and the respective obligations of the Transferor and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Transferor will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Notes.

9. Failure to Purchase the Notes. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default on their obligations to purchase Notes hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of Notes that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed

10% of the total principal amount of such Notes, each Underwriter may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trust for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including the nondefaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Series 2005-A Issuance Date, the nondefaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall be obligated, in proportion to their commitments hereunder, to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Notes, as applicable, and arrangements satisfactory to the nondefaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and the Trust for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Transferor, except as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters from liability for its default.

10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to either Underwriter or the Underwriters will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxx (facsimile number 212-507-2992) with a copy to Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxx 00xx xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx (facsimile number 212-296-3146) and to ABN AMRO Incorporated, 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxx (facsimile number 212-409-6762); and if sent to the Transferor, will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed to it at Nissan Wholesale Receivables Corporation II, 000 Xxxx 000xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-00x0, attention of the Assistant Secretary (facsimile number (000) 000-0000).

11. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all securities issued by the Trust, the Transferor or by a trust for which the Transferor was the depositor, which securities were rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Trust or the Transferor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Transferor and their respective successors and the officers and directors and Control Persons referred to in Section 7 of this Agreement, and no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder.

13. [Reserved].

14. Representations and Warranties of Underwriters. With respect to any offers or sales of the Notes outside the United States (and solely with respect to any such offers and sales) each Underwriter severally and not jointly makes the following representations and warranties:

(a) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells the Notes or possesses or distributes the Prospectus or any other offering material and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales and neither the Transferor or NMAC shall have any responsibility therefor;

(b) No action has been or will be taken by such Underwriter that would permit public offering of the Notes or possession or distribution of any offering material in relation to the Notes in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required unless the Transferor or NMAC has agreed to such actions and such actions have been taken;

(c) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that it will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Notes or distribute any such offering material in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and that will not impose any obligation on the Transferor or NMAC or the Underwriters;

(d) Such Underwriter acknowledges that it is not authorized to give any information or make any representation in relation to the Notes other than (i) oral communications that are consistent with the Prospectus and would not cause the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC to incur liability, (ii) those contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus for the Notes and (iii) such additional information, if any, as the Transferor or NMAC shall, in writing, provide to and authorize such Underwriter so to use and distribute to actual and potential purchasers of the Notes;

(e) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell, prior to the date six months after their date of issuance, any of the Notes to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances that have not resulted in and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 (as amended);

(f) Each Underwriter has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) with respect to anything done by such Underwriter in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and

(g) Each Underwriter will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Trust.

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by each of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and by each of the parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

17. Acknowledgment. Each of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC hereby acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Notes and the transactions related thereto, as contemplated herein and in the other Basic Documents, and the discussions and negotiations of the purchase price thereof set forth in this Agreement: (a) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of or advisors to, and owe no fiduciary duties to, any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC or any other Person, (b) the Underwriters owe the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC only those contractual duties as are set forth in this Agreement and (c) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of any of the Trust, the Transferor or NMAC. Each of the Trust, the Transferor and NMAC hereby waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Notes and the transactions related thereto, as contemplated herein and in the other Basic Documents, including the discussions and negotiations of the purchase price thereof set forth in this Agreement.
