Subject to Section 5 of this Agreement, and in accordance with the reasonable written directions of the Owner Trustee, the Administrator shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Collateral (including the Basic Documents) as are not covered by any of

(Nissan 2011-A Administration Agreement)

the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by the Owner Trustee and are reasonably within the capability of the Administrator.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Basic Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall be responsible for promptly notifying the Owner Trustee in the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder as contemplated in Section 5.02(c) of the Trust Agreement. Any such notice shall specify the amount of any withholding tax required to be withheld by the Owner Trustee pursuant to such provision.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Basic Documents to the contrary, the Administrator shall be responsible for performance of the duties of the Administrator set forth in Section 5.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Trust Agreement with respect to, among other things, accounting and reports to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall remain exclusively responsible for the mailing of the Schedule K-1s necessary to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

(iv) If the Certificateholder is not the Administrator or any of its Affiliates, the Administrator shall satisfy its obligations with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above and under the Trust Agreement by retaining, at the expense of the Administrator, a firm of independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) which shall perform the obligations of the Administrator thereunder.

In connection with paragraph (ii) above, if the Certificateholder is not the Administrator or any of its Affiliates, then the Administrator will cause the Accountants to provide, prior to December 1 of each year, a letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as to whether any tax withholding is then required and, if required, the procedures to be followed with respect thereto to comply with the requirements of the Code. The Accountants shall be required to update the letter in each instance that any additional tax withholding is subsequently required or any previously required tax withholding shall no longer be required.

(v) The Administrator shall perform the duties of the Administrator specified in Section 10.02 of the Trust Agreement required to be performed in connection with the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, and any other duties expressly required to be performed by the Administrator under the Trust Agreement.

(vi) The Administrator shall advise the Owner Trustee in all regards with respect to its duties pursuant to any Currency Swap

(Nissan 2011-A Administration Agreement)

Agreement (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) into which the Issuer enters pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Trust Agreement, including the recommendation of and retention, at its expense, of any such agents or advisors that are deemed by the Owner Trustee to be reasonably necessary to undertake its duties pursuant to any such Currency Swap Agreement. Pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Trust Agreement, if the Certificateholders notify the Administrator with respect to the Issuer’s election to enter into such a Currency Swap Agreement, the Administrator will prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation and take all of the necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Issuer to enter into such a Currency Swap Agreement on behalf of the Issuer.

(vii) The Administrator shall perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

(viii) In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions with or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

(c)

Non-Ministerial Matters.

(i) With respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless within a reasonable time before the taking of such action (x) the Administrator shall have notified the Owner Trustee of the proposed action and the Owner Trustee shall have consented thereto or provided an alternative direction, and (y) all approvals required under the Basic Documents shall have been obtained.

(Nissan 2011-A Administration Agreement)

17. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or the other rights of the parties hereto.
