Section 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by NMAC and the Depositor. Each of NMAC and the Depositor, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Underwriters, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date referred to in Section 2(c), and agrees with the Underwriters as follows:

(i) Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus and Final Prospectus. A registration statement (File No. 333-134238), including a form of prospectus supplement relating to the Notes and a form of base prospectus relating to each class of securities to be registered under such registration statement (the “Registered Securities”), 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 Depositor and NMAC 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 Depositor and NMAC 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 Depositor and NMAC 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 Depositor and NMAC have advised the Representative that they propose to file, but have not filed, an additional registration statement, “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 time of effectiveness 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 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 July 24, 2007, relating to the Notes, as supplemented by the supplement to preliminary prospectus supplement, dated July 26, 2007 (as so supplemented, the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and accompanied by the base prospectus, dated July 24, 2007 relating to 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 July 26, 2007, 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.

(ii) Compliance with Laws; Disclosures. (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 2(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.

As of 3.32 p.m. (New York time), July 26, 2007 (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 pricing and price dependent information which appears in the Final Prospectus (the “Pricing Information”), 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 Pricing Information, 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 material 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 Underwriter Information (as defined herein) or 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.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, all references to the terms “material” in this Agreement that refer to the Depositor or its Affiliates, or any of them, shall be interpreted in proportion to the business of NMAC and its consolidated subsidiaries, as a whole, and not in proportion to the business of the Depositor or its Affiliate(s), individually.

If, during such 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 of the Act), either (i) any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, or (ii) for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, the Depositor 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 that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Neither the consent of the Underwriters to, nor the delivery by the Underwriters of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7, unless such consent specifically waives such conditions.

(d) Earnings Statement. The Depositor 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).

The Depositor shall use its reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Notes for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate in writing and shall maintain such qualifications in effect as long as required for the sale of the Notes; provided, however, that neither NMAC nor the Depositor shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Rating of Notes. The Depositor shall take all reasonable action necessary to enable Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Xxxxx’x”) and Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of the XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc.

(i) Furnishing of Documents. 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 Depositor, the Depositor shall furnish, and shall cause NMAC to furnish, such documents and take such other actions.

(j) Use of Proceeds. The Depositor shall cause the Trust to use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Notes in the manner specified in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

Section 6. Covenant of the Underwriters. Each of the Underwriters severally, and not jointly, covenants and agrees with the Depositor and NMAC that other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, without NMAC’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 included in the previously filed Preliminary Prospectus, (B) information contemplated by Rule 134 under the Act, 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 (C) 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 Depositor or NMAC, 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 Depositor or NMAC shall be required to make any filing of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act.

(xx) The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the heading, “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences,” to the extent they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, have been reviewed by such counsel and are correct in all material respects.

In addition, such counsel shall deliver a letter, as special counsel to the Depositor and NMAC, indicating that 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 Depositor and NMAC, 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 shall confirm 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.H and II.I 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 in or omitted from the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus 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. 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. 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 Depositor 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.

(f) Opinion of Special Delaware Counsel for NMAC and the Depositor. At the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion of Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Finger P.A., special Delaware counsel for NMAC, the Depositor and the Trust, dated as of Closing Date and in form and substance satisfactory for counsel to the Underwriters, substantially to the effect, among other things, that (with respect to each capitalized term used in this Section 7(f) and not defined in this Section 7(f), such terms shall have the meanings set forth in such opinion):

(i) The Depositor has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii) Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq. (the “LLC Act”), the Depositor’s Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of October 29, 2001 (the “LLC Agreement”), and the Action by Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Managers of the Depositor, dated July 23, 2007 (the “Consent”), the Depositor has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party, and to perform its obligations thereunder.

(iii) Under the LLC Act, the LLC Agreement and the Consent, the execution and delivery by the Depositor of the Basic Documents, and the performance by it of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Depositor.

(iv) The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of the Basic Documents to which it is a party do not violate (i) the LLC Agreement, or (ii) Delaware law, rule or regulation.

(v) The LLC Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of NMAC, as the Depositor’s sole member (the “Member”), and is enforceable against the Member, in accordance with its terms.

(vi) If properly presented to a Delaware court, a Delaware court applying Delaware law, would conclude that (i) in order for a person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor, the prior affirmative vote of 100% of the board of managers of the Depositor, including all of the independent board of managers, as provided for in the LLC Agreement, is required, and (ii) such provision, contained in the LLC Agreement, that requires the prior affirmative vote of 100% of the board of mangers of the Depositor, including all of the independent board of mangers, in order for a person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the Member, in accordance with its terms.

(vii) While under the LLC Act, on application to a court of competent jurisdiction, a judgment creditor of the Member may be able to charge the Member’s share of any profits and losses of the Depositor and the Member’s right to receive distributions of the Depositor’s assets (the “Member’s Interest”), to the extent so

charged, the judgment creditor has only the right to receive any distribution or distributions to which the Member would otherwise have been entitled in respect of such Member’s Interest. Under the LLC Act, no creditor of the Member shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Depositor. Thus, under the LLC Act, a judgment creditor of the Member may not satisfy its claims against the Member by asserting a claim against the assets of the Depositor.

(viii) Under the LLC Act (i) the Depositor is a separate legal entity, and (ii) the existence of the Depositor as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the LLC.

(ix) Under the LLC Act and the LLC Agreement, the bankruptcy or dissolution of the Member will not, by itself, cause the Depositor to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.

(x) A federal bankruptcy court would hold that Delaware law and not federal law, governs the determination of what persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor.

(xi) The Certificate of Trust of the Trust has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing as a statutory trust and is in good standing under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801, et seq. (the “Trust Act”), and has the power and authority under the Trust Agreement and the Trust Act to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Basic Document to which the Trust is a party (the “Trust Documents”), to issue the Notes and to pledge the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee as security for the Notes under the Indenture.

(xii) The Notes, the Certificates and the Trust Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trust. The holders of the Certificates are entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

(xiii) The Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with its terms.

(xiv) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Trust of the Trust Documents, nor the consummation by the Trust of 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 Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

(xv) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Trust of the Trust Documents, nor the consummation by the Trust of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in violation of the Trust Agreement or of any law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to the Trust.

(xvi) Under § 3805(b) of the Trust Act, no creditor of any Certificateholder shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Trust except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

(xvii) Under the Trust Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and, assuming that the Trust SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement conveys good title to the Trust property to the Trust as a true sale and not as a security arrangement, the Trust rather than the Certificateholders will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time pursuant to the Trust SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property.

(xviii) (A) The Financing Statement naming the Depositor as debtor and U.S. Bank National Association as Secured Party is in an appropriate form for filing in the State of Delaware; (B) Insofar as Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement (as defined in such opinion) with the Division, the Secured Party will have a perfected security interest in the Depositor’s rights in that portion of the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (for purposes of this clause, the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds thereof (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC; and (C) The Search Report (as defined in such opinion) sets forth the proper filing office and the proper debtor necessary to identify those Persons who under the Delaware UCC have on file financing statements against the Depositor covering the Filing Collateral as defined in such opinion as of the Effective Time (as defined in such opinion). The Search Report identifies all persons who are secured parties who have filed with the Division a financing statement naming the Depositor as debtor and describing the Filing Collateral prior to the Effective Time.

(xix) Under § 3805(c) of the Trust Act, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, a Certificateholder (including the Depositor in its capacity as such) has no interest in specific Trust property.

(xx) Each of NILT Trust and the Titling Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Trust Act.

(xxi) Under the Trust Act and the NILT Trust Formation Documents, NILT Trust has all necessary statutory trust power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Basic Documents to which it is a party. Under the Trust Act, the Titling Trust Formation Documents and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement, the Titling Trust has all necessary statutory trust power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligation under, the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to issue the 2007-A SUBI Certificate.

(xxii) Under the Trust Act and the NILT Trust Formation Documents, the execution and delivery by NILT Trust of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by it thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary statutory trust action on the part of NILT Trust. Under the Trust Act, the Titling Trust Formation Documents and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement, the execution and delivery by the Titling Trust of the Basic Documents to which it is a party and the issuance of the SUBI Certificate, and the performance by it thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary trust action on the part of the Titling Trust.

(xxiii) The NILT Trust Agreement, the Titling Trust Agreement and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement are legal, valid and binding agreements of the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms.

(xxiv) The 2007-A SUBI Certificate has been duly and validly authorized and, when executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Titling Trust Agreement and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Titling Trust Agreement and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement.

(xxv) Under Section 3805(b) of the Trust Act, no creditor of any holder of a UTI Certificate or a 2007-A SUBI Certificate shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of Titling Trust except in accordance with the terms of the Titling Trust Agreement and the 2007-A SUBI Supplement.

(xxvi) Under Section 3805(b) of the Trust Act, no creditor of any holder of a beneficial interest in NILT Trust shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of NILT Trust except in accordance with the terms of the NILT Trust Agreement.

(xxvii) Insofar as the Delaware UCC is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), the 2007-A SUBI Certificate constitutes a “certificated security” within the meaning of Section 8-102 (a)(4) of the Delaware UCC.

(xxviii) Insofar as Section 9-305(a)(1) of the Delaware UCC is applicable (without regard to conflicts of laws principles), a security interest in a “certificated security” is perfected pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such certificated security is located.

(xxix) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by either of NILT Trust or the Titling Trust of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by NILT Trust or the Titling Trust of 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.

(xxx) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by either of NILT Trust or the Titling Trust of the Basic Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by NILT Trust or the Titling Trust of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in violation of the NILT Trust Agreement or the Titling Trust Agreement or any law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to either NILT Trust or the Titling Trust.

(xxxi) (A) The Financing Statement naming NILT Trust as debtor and U.S. Bank National Association as Secured Party (for purposes of this clause, the “Secured Party”) is in an appropriate form for filing in the State of Delaware; (B) To the extent that Article 9 of the Delaware UCC is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of such Financing Statement (as defined in such opinion) with the Division, the Secured Party will have a perfected security interest in NILT Trust’s rights in that portion of the Collateral that may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (for purposes of this clause, the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds thereof (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC); and (C) The Search Report (as defined in such opinion) sets forth the proper filing office and the proper debtor necessary to identify those Persons who under the Delaware UCC have on file financing statements against NILT Trust covering the Filing Collateral as defined in such opinion as of the Effective Time (as defined in such opinion).

(k) Tennessee Opinion. At the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received an opinion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx, LLP, special Tennessee tax counsel to the Depositor and NMAC, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and its counsel, to the effect that:

(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.

However, distributions to the Certificateholder should qualify for the dividends received deduction pursuant to T.C.A. §67-4-2006(b)(2)(A).

(vii) The execution, delivery and performance by each of NMAC and the Depositor of this Agreement or by NMAC or the Depositor of the Depositor LLC Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which such entity is a party and the performance by each of them, of their respective obligations hereunder will not violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under, or with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default under or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (except as permitted by the Basic Documents) upon any property or assets of such entity pursuant to the terms of any statutes, rules, regulations or 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 Depositor and NMAC (each, a “Governmental Authority”), that, in such counsel’s experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Basic Documents (“Applicable Law”), excepting, defaults, breaches or violations that do not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Depositor’s or NMAC’s ability to perform its respective obligations under the Basic Documents or on the validity or enforceability thereof.

(viii) No order, certificate, permit, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority (“Governmental Approval”) is required under Tennessee Applicable Law on the part of NMAC or the Depositor in connection with the issuance of the SUBI Certificate or the Securities or the offering or sale of the Notes, except (A) as may be required under the securities laws, rules or regulations of any Governmental Authority, (B) as have previously been obtained and are in full force and effect as of the Closing Date, and (C) as may be required relating to the authority to lease motor vehicles, originate lease contracts or to service lease contracts or leased vehicles.

(ix) Each of NMAC, the Depositor, NILT Trust and the Titling Trust has obtained all necessary Governmental Approvals under Applicable Law necessary to conduct the business now operated by it as described in the Final Prospectus, except where the failure to possess such Governmental Approvals would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of NMAC, the Depositor, NILT Trust or the Titling Trust to perform their respective obligations under the Basic Documents, and none of such entities has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Approval that, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of NMAC, the Depositor, NILT Trust or the Titling Trust to perform its respective obligations under the Basic Documents..

(l) Opinion of Counsel for the Underwriters. At the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received the favorable opinion, dated as of Closing Date, of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to all matters governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States, upon the opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.

(m) Reliance Letters. Counsel to NMAC, the Depositor or the Titling Trustee shall provide reliance letters to the Representative, as representative of the Underwriters, relating to each legal opinion relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement rendered to the Owner Trustee, the Titling Trustee or any of the Rating Agencies (or the Representative, as representative for the Underwriters, shall be an addressee to each such legal opinion).

(n) Maintenance of Rating. At the Closing Date, the Class A-1 Notes shall be rated by each Rating Agency in its highest short-term rating, the remaining classes of Notes shall be rated by each Rating Agency in its highest long-term rating, and NMAC and the Depositor shall have delivered to the Underwriters a letter dated the Closing Date from each Rating Agency, or other evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters, confirming that the Notes have such ratings.

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

(p) Additional Documents. At the Closing Date, counsel to the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such additional documents and additional opinions as it may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon the issuance of the Securities and the sale of the Notes as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained; and all proceedings taken by NMAC or the Depositor in connection with the foregoing shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Underwriters.

(q) Termination of Agreement. If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice to the Depositor and NMAC at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 and except that Sections 1, 8 and 9 shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Depositor and NMAC 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 Depositor nor NMAC 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 the Underwriter Information.

(b) Indemnification of NMAC and the Depositor. Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and NMAC against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor or NMAC may become subject, under the Securities 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 written information furnished to the Depositor or NMAC by such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor or NMAC in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Depositor and NMAC acknowledge and agree that the only such written information furnished to the Depositor or NMAC by any Underwriter through the Representative consists of the following: the statements in the second and fourth paragraphs (concerning initial offering prices, concessions and reallowances) and in the eighth paragraph (concerning stabilizing and other activities) under the heading “Underwriting” in each of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”).

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification; Settlement. 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 that it may otherwise have to any Indemnified Party 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 Depositor or the 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 Depositor or the 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 (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(d) Contribution. 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 Depositor 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 Depositor and NMAC on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor, 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 that 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) Obligations Cumulative. The obligations of the Depositor and NMAC under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the Depositor 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 that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Depositor or NMAC, to each officer of the Depositor or NMAC who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls NMAC or the Depositor within the meaning of the Act.

Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of NMAC, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or controlling person, or by or on behalf of NMAC, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates, and shall survive delivery of the certificates to the Underwriters.

Section 10. Failure to Purchase the Notes. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default on its or 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 Depositor for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including the non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting 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 non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters and the Depositor 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 NMAC or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 9.

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.

Section 11. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to NMAC and the Depositor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date if there shall have occurred (i) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting particularly the business or properties of the Depositor, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., NNA or NMAC that, in the judgment of the Representative, materially impairs the investment quality of the Notes or makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the sale of and payment for the Notes; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of NNA or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act), or any public announcement that any

such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any such debt securities (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (iv) any material disruption in commercial banking, securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (v) any banking moratorium declared by federal or New York authorities; or (vi) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the sale of and payment for the Notes.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5, and provided further that Sections 1, 8 and 9 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

Section 12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices (i) to the Underwriters shall be directed to the Representative at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Global Securitized Products; (ii) to NMAC shall be directed to it at P.O. Box 685011, Franklin, TN 37068-5011, Attention: Treasurer; and (iii) to the Depositor shall be directed to it at BellSouth Tower, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, X-00-X, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-1800, Attention: Treasurer.

Section 13. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the Underwriters, NMAC, the Depositor and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters, NMAC, the Depositor and their respective successors and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to in Section 8 any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, NMAC, the Depositor and their respective successors, and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to in Section 8 and their heirs and legal representatives and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Notes from the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

Section 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.

Section 15. Representation 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, 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor or NMAC to incur liability, (ii) those contained or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus for the Notes and (iii) such additional information, if any, as the Depositor 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 Depositor.

Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

Section 17. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 18. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations under each Securitized Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against NILT Trust, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Titling Trust, the Issuer, any Special Purpose Affiliate or any Beneficiary, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceeding or other Proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Section 19. Acknowledgement. Each of NMAC and the Depositor hereby acknowledges that pursuant to this Agreement (a) the Underwriters are acting as principals and not as agents or fiduciaries of NMAC or the Depositor and (b) the engagement by NMAC and the Depositor of the Underwriters is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, each of NMAC and the Depositor agrees that none of the Underwriters is advising NMAC, the Depositor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each of NMAC and the Depositor agrees that it is solely responsible for independently making its own judgments with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising NMAC or the Depositor on other matters), and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to NMAC or the Depositor with respect to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters.

Section 20. 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.
