Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given them in the Indenture and in the Annex of Definitions attached to the Indenture and the other Basic Documents.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Trust, Transferor and the Servicer. Each of the Trust, the Transferor and the Servicer, 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 (No. 333-139682), 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).

For purposes of this Agreement, “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 (A) if the Transferor and the Trust have advised the Representative 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 (B) if the Transferor and the Trust have advised the Representative 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 Representative 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 initial registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, as amended at its time of effectiveness, including all information (A) contained in the additional registration statement (if any), (B) deemed to be a part of the initial registration statement as of the time of effectiveness of the additional registration statement (if any) pursuant to the [General Instructions of the Form] on which it is filed and (C) 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 time of effectiveness, 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 (i) as of such date pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 or pursuant to a no-action letter of the Commission or (ii) as of any other date pursuant to Rule 430B(f) under the Act. A preliminary prospectus supplement, dated [___], relating to the Notes (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and accompanied by the base prospectus dated [___], relating to the Registered Notes (including the Notes) (the “Base Prospectus”), will be filed with the Commission 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)”) within the time period required thereby (together, including all material incorporated by reference therein, the “Preliminary Prospectus”). A final prospectus supplement, dated [___], relating to the Notes (the “Prospectus Supplement”), and accompanied by the Base Prospectus will be filed with the Commission in connection with the offering and sale of the

Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) within the time period required thereby (together, including all material incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Prospectus”). As used herein, and for the sake of clarity, each of the term “Preliminary Prospectus” and “Final Prospectus” includes all static pool information disclosed therein in response to Item 1105 of Regulation AB (including, without limitation, the information disclosed in the Appendices to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement), whether or not such information is otherwise deemed to be part of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus under the Rules and Regulations.

(b) (i) (A) On the effective date of any Registration Statement whose time of effectiveness is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement conformed, (B) on the date of this Agreement, each such Registration Statement conforms and (C) on any related effective date of the Registration Statement, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3(c) hereof), 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. (ii) As of [___] [ ].m. ([___] time) [___] (the “Date of Sale”), which shall be the date of the first contract of sale for the Notes, and at the time of filing of the Preliminary 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 Preliminary Prospectus), the Preliminary Prospectus, together with the statements in the Final Prospectus with respect to items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as to be completed in the Final Prospectus, did not include, does not include and will not include, any untrue statement of a material fact, nor did, does or will the Preliminary Prospectus, together with the statements in the Final Prospectus with respect to items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as to be completed in the Final Prospectus, omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of the first use of the Final Prospectus, at the time of filing of the Final 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 Final Prospectus), on the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of such dates, 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 did, does or will the Final Prospectus[, as amended and supplemented as of such dates,] omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The three preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus based upon written information furnished to the Transferor and the Trust by any Underwriter through the Representative 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 time of effectiveness 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.

and the Final Prospectus, [as amended and 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 this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, or the receivables purchase agreement, dated as of July 24, 2003, as amended and restated as of October 15, 2003, between NMAC and the Transferor (as so amended and restated, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”).

(g) 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 the Servicer for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 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.

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 the Servicer or their respective properties or any agreement or instrument to which any of the Trust, the Transferor or the Servicer is a party or by which any of the Trust, the Transferor or the Servicer 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 the Servicer’s respective ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability thereof, or (ii) conflict with the Trust’s, the Transferor’s or the Servicer’s charter or by-laws, and each of the Trust, the Transferor and the Servicer has corporate power and authority to enter into the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

If the time of effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and an Additional Registration Statement is necessary to register a portion of the Notes under the Act but the time of effectiveness thereof has not occurred as of such execution and delivery, the Transferor will file the Additional Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 462(b).

Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to lift such stop order as soon as possible, if issued.

(c) The Transferor will arrange for the qualification of the Notes for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Representative may reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as necessary under such laws for the distribution of such securities; provided that in connection therewith the Transferor shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business, or to file a general consent to service of process, in any jurisdiction.

(d) If, at any time when the delivery of a prospectus shall be required by law in connection with sales of any Notes (including delivery as contemplated by Rule 172 under the Act), either (i) any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as then amended and supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, the Transferor will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly prepare for review by the Representative and file with the Commission an amendment or a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Neither your consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.

(e) The Transferor will cause the Trust to make generally available to Holders as soon as practicable, but not later than fourteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement of the Trust covering a period of at least twelve consecutive months beginning after such effective date and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder).

(f) The Transferor will furnish to the Representative copies of the Registration Statement (which will include all exhibits), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request.

(g) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Transferor will furnish to the Representative copies of all reports or other communications (financial or otherwise) furnished to Holders, and deliver to the Representative during such same period (i) as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission and (ii) such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Transferor and the Trust as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request.

(h) The Transferor will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the printing (or otherwise reproducing) and filing of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto; (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes to the Underwriters; (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Transferor’s and the Servicer’s counsel and accountants; (iv) the fees of DTC in connection with the book-entry registration of the Notes; (v) the qualification of the Notes under state securities law in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(c) hereof, including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection

(i) Until the retirement of the Notes, or until such time as the Underwriters shall cease to maintain a secondary market in the Notes, whichever occurs first, the Transferor will deliver to the Representative the annual statements of compliance and the annual independent certified public accountants’ reports furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Article III of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

(j) On or promptly after the Closing Date, the Transferor shall cause its and the Servicer’s computer records relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust’s absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date neither the Transferor nor the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

(k) To the extent, if any, that the rating provided with respect to the Notes by Moody’s or S&P is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Transferor, the Transferor shall furnish, and shall cause the Servicer to furnish, such documents and take any such other actions.

6. Covenant of the Underwriters. Each of the Underwriters severally, and not jointly, covenants and agrees with the Transferor that other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, without the Servicer’s prior written approval, such Underwriter has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) relating to the offer and sale of the Notes that would constitute a “prospectus” or a “free writing prospectus,” each as defined in the Act or the Rules and Regulations thereunder, including, but not limited to any “ABS informational and computational materials” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Act; provided, however, that (i) each Underwriter may prepare and convey one or more “written communications” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) containing no more than the following: (A) information contemplated by Rule 134 under the Act and included or to be included in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including but not limited to, information relating to the class, size, weighted average life, rating, expected final payment date, legal maturity date, and/or the final price of the Notes, as well as a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Notes and/or expected pricing parameters of the Notes, and (B) information customarily included in confirmations of sales of securities and notices of allocations (each such written communication, an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”); and (ii) unless otherwise consented to by the Transferor or the Servicer, no such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus shall be conveyed in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad unrestricted dissemination such that, as a result of such conveyance, the Transferor or the Servicer shall be required to make any filing of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act.

7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Notes will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Transferor and the Servicer herein on the date hereof and at the Closing Date,

(f) [___], General Counsel of the Transferor and the Servicer, or other counsel satisfactory to the Representative in its reasonable judgment, shall have furnished to the Representative such counsel’s written opinion, dated the Closing Date, in substantially the form set forth below, with such changes therein as counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably agree:

(i) Except as to the States of California, New York and Tennessee (for which the opinion relative thereto shall be provided by the outside counsel specified below), the Transferor 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 the Basic Documents.

(ii) Except as to the States of California, New York and Tennessee (for which the opinion relative thereto shall be provided by the outside counsel specified below), the Servicer 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 Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents.

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

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

(v) The execution and delivery by Transferor and the Servicer of the Basic Documents and performance by each of them of their respective obligations thereunder will not violate, result in any 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 Transferor or the Servicer (other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents) pursuant to the terms of (1) the Servicer’s Articles of Incorporation or the Transferor’s Certificate of Incorporation, (2) the Servicer’s or the Transferor’s By-Laws, (3) any material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer or the Transferor is a party or by which either the Servicer or the Transferor or any of their respective properties is bound, (4) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any Texas or federal governmental agency or body or any court having jurisdiction over the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective properties that the undersigned has, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to the Servicer or the Transferor or to transactions of the type contemplated by the Basic Documents, or (5) the Notes.

(vi) No authorization, approval, consent, order or permit of any Texas or federal governmental authority is required on the part of the Servicer or the Transferor for the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents to which it is a party and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder, 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 of the Registration Statement and the Closing Date.

(vii) Nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that would cause him 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 Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Date of First Sale, together with the statements in the Final Prospectus with respect to items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as to be completed in the Final Prospectus, and the Final Prospectus as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the Closing Date (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) There are no legal or governmental proceedings known by such counsel to be (i) pending for which the Servicer or the Transferor has been served official notice of, to which the Servicer or the Transferor is a party or to which any property of the Servicer or the Transferor is subject, and (ii) threatened or contemplated by any governmental authority or threatened by others, which proceedings in either clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (A) (whether individually or in the aggregate) that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, or (B)(1) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of all or part of any Basic Document, (2) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes, (3) (whether individually or in the aggregate) would materially and adversely affect the Transferor’s or the Servicer’s obligations under any Basic Document to which it is a party, or (4) (whether individually or in the aggregate) seek to affect adversely the federal or state income tax attributes of the Notes.

(ix) The Servicer has all necessary corporate power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to the Transferor pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and has duly authorized such sale and assignment to the Transferor by all necessary corporate action.

(xi) 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.

(xii) Such counsel is familiar with the Servicer’s standard operating procedures relating to the Servicer’s acquisition of a perfected first priority security interest in the vehicles of the Dealers, the Receivables and the other Collateral (which security interest may be subordinate) in the ordinary course of the Servicer’s business and relating to the sale by the Servicer to the Transferor of the Receivables and such security interests in the Vehicles in the ordinary course of the Servicer’s and the Transferor’s business. Assuming that the Servicer’s standard procedures are followed with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Vehicles, the Receivables and the other Collateral (which security interest may be subordinate) (and such counsel has no reason

to believe that the Servicer 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), the Servicer 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).

(xiii) Each of the Transferor and the Servicer has obtained all necessary governmental licenses and governmental approvals under the federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of Texas to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus where the failure to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any material part of the corpus of the Trust to be unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of either the Transferor or the Servicer to perform any of their respective obligations under, or the enforceability of, any of the Basic Documents.

(g) Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP, special counsel to the Transferor and the Servicer, shall have furnished to the Representative their written opinion, dated as of the Closing Date, in substantially the form set forth below, with such changes therein as counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably agree:

In addition, as special counsel to the Transferor and the Servicer, such counsel has reviewed the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Transferor and the Servicer, representatives of their independent public accountants, representatives of the Underwriters, and their counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final 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, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and such counsel has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final 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 obtained in the course of performing the services referred to above, nothing came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that (x) 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; (y) the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the Date of Sale, together with the statements in the Final Prospectus with respect to items identified in the Preliminary Prospectus as to be completed in the Final Prospectus, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (z) the Final Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an 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, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (except, as otherwise specifically provided in such counsel’s opinion dated the Closing Date addressed to Representative relating to Federal income tax and in paragraphs II.K and II.L of its opinion, to be delivered on the Closing Date, addressed to the Representative and others relating to enforceability, securities law and general corporate matters), and such counsel does not express any belief with respect to (i) the financial statements or other financial, statistical or accounting data contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or (ii) the information set forth or omitted from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus Supplement under the captions “Summary — Swap Counterparty” and “The Swap Counterparty”.

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.

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. In addition, such counsel expresses no opinion regarding any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus. The opinions of such counsel with respect to any agreement of the Transferor or the Servicer 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.

(i) The Trust is not subject to the taxes imposed by T.C.A. §§ 67-4-2001 et seq. (the “Excise Tax”), T.C.A. §§ 67-4-2101 et seq. (the “Franchise Tax”), T.C.A. §§ 67-2-101 et seq. (the “Hall Tax”), or T.C.A. §§ 67-4-701 et seq. (the “Business Tax”).

(ii) The Notes are deemed to be “bonds” for purposes of the Hall Tax, and the interest paid by the Trust to the non-corporate Noteholders who are Tennessee residents is taxable under the Hall Tax.

(iii) Noteholders who are persons or entities who would otherwise be taxable under T.C.A. §67-2-102 but are not residents of Tennessee are not subject to the Hall Tax.

(iv) Noteholders who would otherwise be taxpayers within the meaning of T.C.A. §67-4-2004(29) but are not doing business in the State of Tennessee within the meaning of T.C.A. §67-4-2004(9) are not subject to the Excise Tax or the Franchise Tax.

(v) With respect to the Certificateholder and Noteholders that are corporations subject to Tennessee taxation, the tax characterization of the Certificate and the Notes and the distributions thereon will be the same as for federal income tax purposes.

(vi) The execution, delivery and performance by the Transferor and the Servicer of each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party do not result in any breach or violation 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 the Servicer under (other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents) any statutes, rules, regulations, and judicial decisions of any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative, or regulatory body of the State of Tennessee (and not including any regional or local

governmental authority) having jurisdiction over the Trust, the Transferor or the Servicer (“Governmental Authority”) that are applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Basic Documents (“Applicable Laws”).

(vii) No order, certificate, permit, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority (“Governmental Approval”) is required on the part of the Servicer or the Transferor for the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents to which it is a party and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder, except (A) as may be required under the securities laws, rules or regulations of the State of Tennessee, (B) as are in full force and effect as of the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Closing Date, and (C) as may be required to perfect any security interest in the Receivables under the Tennessee Uniform Commercial Code.

(viii) Each of the Transferor and the Servicer has obtained all necessary Governmental Approvals under Applicable Law to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus where the failure to obtain such Governmental Approvals would render any material part of the corpus of the Trust to be unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of either the Transferor or the Servicer to perform any of their respective obligations under, or the enforceability of, any of the Basic Documents.

(p) The Interest Rate Swap Agreement shall be in full force and effect.

(q) You shall have received an opinion of special counsel to the Swap Counterparty, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and its counsel, with respect to the enforceability of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Transferor and the Servicer shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “Control Person”), harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or Control Person 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, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter and Control Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or Control Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Transferor nor the Servicer will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Transferor or the Servicer by any Underwriter through the Representative specified in the last sentence of subsection (b) below specifically for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Transferor and the Servicer against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Transferor or the Servicer 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, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 or the Servicer by such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Transferor or the Servicer in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Transferor and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that the only such information furnished to the Transferor or the Servicer by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the following: the statements under the heading “Underwriting” in each of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement, in the [ ] paragraph[s] (concerning initial offering prices, concessions and reallowances), in the [ ] paragraph[s] (concerning the Swap Counterparty), and in the [ ] paragraph[s] concerning stabilizing and other activities).

(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 the Representative, and any such separate firm appointed for the Transferor or the Servicer, 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 or the Servicer, 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.

(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 and the Servicer 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 and the Servicer 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 and the Servicer 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 and the Servicer 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 or the Servicer 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 Servicer 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 and the Servicer under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Transferor or the Servicer 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 or the Servicer, to each officer of the Transferor or Servicer who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Transferor or the Servicer within the meaning of the Act.

9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Transferor, the Servicer 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 the Servicer 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 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, and the respective obligations of the Transferor and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 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, 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.

10. 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, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Transferor for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including the nondefaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing 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 Transferor 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.

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.

11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Representative or the Underwriters will be mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed to [address of Indenture Trustee], Attention: [___] (facsimile number [___]); 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, X.X. Xxx 000000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, attention Treasurer (facsimile number (000) 000-0000).

12. 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 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 Transferor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

13. 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, and no other person will have any right or obligations hereunder.

14. Representation of Underwriters. The Representative will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement, and any action taken by the Representative under this Agreement will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

15. 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 Preliminary Prospectus or the Final 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 nor 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 Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus and would not cause the Trust,

the Transferor or the Servicer to incur liability, (ii) those contained or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus for the Notes and such additional information, if any, as the Transferor or the Servicer 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 person 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 Xxx 0000 (“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 Transferor.

16. Acknowledgment. Each of the Transferor and the Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to this Agreement that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Transferor and the Servicer with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Transferor, the Servicer or any other Person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Transferor, the Servicer or any other Person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Transferor and the Servicer shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Transferor or the Servicer with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Transferor, the Servicer, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Transferor or the Servicer.

17. 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).

18. 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.
