Any such breach will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach does not affect the ability of the Issuing Entity to receive and retain timely payments in full on such 2018-A Lease or receive and retain the proceeds of such 2018-A Leased Vehicle. If the Servicer does not cure any such breach that materially adversely affects the interest of the Securityholders in the related 2018-A Lease or 2018-A Vehicle in all material respects prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Servicer elects, the end of the first Collection Period following discovery) after the date that the Servicer discovers such breach (whether pursuant to such notice or otherwise), then the Servicer shall (i) deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Repurchase Payment on or prior to the Deposit Date following the end of such Collection Period, and (ii) direct the Titling Trustee to either reallocate such 2018-A Lease and the related 2018-A Vehicle from the 2018-A SUBI to an Other SUBI or the UTI or cause such 2018-A Lease and 2018-A Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer on the Deposit Date.

(d) Immediately prior to the sale or disposition of a Matured Vehicle or a Defaulted Vehicle, the Servicer may reallocate such Matured Vehicle or Defaulted Vehicle from the 2018-A SUBI to the UTI for purposes of implementing NMACs like kind exchange program. In connection with such reallocation, NILT Trust, as the UTI Beneficiary, will cause to be deposited into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account the Reallocation Payments no later than two Business Days after such reallocation, or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is met, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the Reallocation Payments received during a Collection Period until such amounts are required to be disbursed as set forth in Section 8.03(c). Upon receipt of the Reallocation Payments, the 2018-A SUBI shall have no claim against or interest in such Matured or Defaulted Vehicle.

(g) If the Servicer permits a Lease Pull-Forward, all Pull-Forward Payments due and payable by the Lessee under the Lease will be paid and deposited in the SUBI Collection Account within the time period required for the Servicer to deposit collections into the SUBI Collection Account; provided that, if the Servicer waives the Pull-Forward Payment (or any portion thereof) payable by the Lessee during any Collection Period, the Servicer will be required to deposit the waived amount of the Pull-Forward Payment into the SUBI Collection Account by the next Deposit Date related to such Collection Period.

5 | ||||
(NALT 2018-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
Pending deposit into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account, SUBI Collections may be employed by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall not be segregated from its own funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a subsequent Public ABS Transaction calls for changes in making monthly deposits to the related collection account, then, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, the Servicer will no longer be bound by the Monthly Remittance Condition hereunder, and will instead be subject to the conditions to making monthly deposits as required by the subsequent Public ABS Transaction.
(d) Notwithstanding Sections 2.07(a) and 2.11(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices to (i) collect all payments required under each Lease and (ii) cause each Lessee to make all payments required under its Lease, accompanied by an invoice, payment coupon or electronic funds transfer notice bearing the lease number to which such payment relates.
Section 8.04 Net Deposits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this 2018-A Servicing Supplement, NMAC (as Servicer or in any other capacity) shall be permitted to deposit into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account only the net amount distributable to the Issuing Entity, as holder of the 2018-A SUBI Certificate on the related Deposit Date and may pay the Optional Purchase Price pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Trust Agreement net of amounts to be distributed to the Servicer or its Affiliates. The Servicer shall, however, account to the Issuing Entity, the Titling Trustee, the Trust Agent, the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee), the Owner Trustee and the Holders of the Securities as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were made individually.
Section 8.05 Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee.
(b) The Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation with respect to the 2018-A SUBI Assets in the form of (i) interest and earnings on investment of funds in the 2018-A SUBI Trust Accounts, provided that any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the applicable 2018-A SUBI Trust Account, and (ii) Administrative Charges to the extent not required for the payment of insurance premiums, taxes, or similar charges allocable to the 2018-A Leases; provided, however, that the Servicer may in its sole discretion waive any Administrative Charges, in whole or in part, in connection with any delinquent payments due on a Lease.
Section 8.06 Advances.
(a) If during a Collection Period a Lessee makes a Lessee Partial Monthly Payment, the Servicer shall make, by deposit into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account on the related Deposit Date, a Monthly Payment Advance, unless such Advance is not required to be made pursuant to Section 8.06(c).
6 | ||||
(NALT 2018-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
(b) On each Deposit Date, the Servicer shall make, by deposit into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account, Sales Proceeds Advances, unless such Advance is not required to be made pursuant to Section 8.06(c). After the Servicer has made a Sales Proceeds Advance with respect to a Matured Vehicle, the Issuing Entity shall have no claim against or interest in such Matured Vehicle or any Net Auction Proceeds resulting from the sale or other disposition thereof, except with respect to any related Residual Value Surplus. If the Servicer shall sell or otherwise dispose of a Matured Vehicle after having made a Sales Proceeds Advance, the Issuing Entity may retain all of such Sales Proceeds Advance, and the Servicer shall retain the related Net Auction Proceeds up to the Securitization Value of the related 2018-A Lease, and shall deposit the Residual Value Surplus, if any, into the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account. If the Net Auction Proceeds are less than the Securitization Value of the related 2018-A Lease, the Servicer may deduct the difference from SUBI Collections in respect of one or more future Collection Periods and retain such amount as reimbursement for the outstanding portion of the related Sales Proceeds Advance. If the Servicer has not sold a Matured Vehicle within six calendar months after it has made a Sales Proceeds Advance, it shall be reimbursed for such Sales Proceeds Advance from the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account. Within six months of receiving such reimbursement, if the related 2018-A Vehicle has not been sold, the Servicer shall, if permitted by applicable law, cause such 2018-A Vehicle to be sold at auction and shall remit the proceeds (less Disposition Expenses and Liquidation Expenses) associated with such auction sale to the 2018-A SUBI Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to make an Advance only to the extent that it determines that such Advance will be recoverable from future payments on or in respect of the related 2018-A Lease or 2018-A Vehicle.
Section 8.07 Third Party Claims. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.14 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor (in the event that NMAC is not acting as Servicer) and the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee) upon learning of a claim or Lien of whatever kind of a third party that would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity with respect to the 2018-A SUBI Assets.
Section 8.08 Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy. So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Servicer shall maintain and pay when due all premiums with respect to, and the Servicer may not terminate or cause the termination of, the Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy unless (i) a replacement Insurance Policy is obtained that provides coverage against third party claims that may be raised against the Titling Trust, the Titling Trustee on behalf of the Titling Trust or the Issuing Entity in an amount at least equal to $1 million combined single limit per occurrence and excess coverage of at least $15 million combined single limit each occurrence and in the aggregate, without limit on the number of occurrences in any policy period (which Insurance Policy may be a blanket Insurance Policy covering the Servicer and one or more of its Affiliates) and (ii) each Rating Agency receives prior written notice of such termination and any replacement insurance policy. The obligations of the Servicer pursuant to this Section shall survive any termination of the Servicers other obligations under the Servicing Agreement until such time as claims can no longer be brought that would be covered by such Insurance Policies, whether as a result of the expiration of relevant statutes of limitations or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall only be required to maintain the Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy that is
7 | ||||
(NALT 2018-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
required to be maintained by the Servicer in the most recent Public ABS Transaction; provided, that if no such Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy is required to be maintained in the most recent Public ABS Transaction, then no such Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy shall be required hereunder.
Section 8.09 Reporting by the Servicer; Delivery of Certain Documentation. On the tenth calendar day of each month (or, if the 10th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the Servicer shall furnish to the Titling Trustee and each Related Beneficiary a Payment Date Certificate, substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit A hereto for the immediately preceding Collection Period.
Section 8.10 Accountants Attestation. So long as the Depositor is filing the attestation report with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2019, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish an attestation report to the Issuing Entity, Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency as to the Servicers Assessment Report of its compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122 of Regulation AB during the Servicers preceding fiscal year (or since the date of the issuance of the Notes in the case of the first such statement), which shall be deemed furnished upon filing such report with the Commission. The form of attestation report may be deleted or replaced by any similar form using any standards that are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any note, regulation, no action letter or similar guidelines promulgated by the Commission.
Section 8.11 Servicers Assessment Report; Annual Servicers Compliance Statement; Officers Certificate; Administrative Agent Compensation.
(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies, which shall be deemed to be delivered upon filing such report with the Commission, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2019, a report assessing the Servicers compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in the relevant SEC regulations for asset-backed securities transactions, including Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as of and for the period ending the end of each fiscal year of the Issuing Entity (the Servicers Assessment Report) and such Servicers Assessment Report will identify any material instance of noncompliance, so long as the Depositor is filing the Servicers Assessment Report with respect to the Issuing Entity under the Exchange Act. The form of Servicers Assessment Report may be deleted or replaced by any similar form using any standards that are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, no action letter or similar guidelines promulgated by the Commission.
(b) The Servicer shall also deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each of the Rating Agencies, on or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2019, an Officers Certificate with respect to the prior fiscal year of the Servicer (or with respect to the initial Officers Certificate, the period from the date of the initial issuance of the Notes to March 31, 2019), stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month (or shorter) period and of
8 | ||||
(NALT 2018-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such twelve-month (or shorter) period in all material respects, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statements, certificates and reports may be obtained by the Noteholders or the Trust Certificateholder by a request in writing addressed to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee.
(c) On or before the last day of the third month after the end of each fiscal year of the Servicer, beginning with June 30, 2019, for as long as NMAC continues to act as the Servicer, the Servicer shall deliver an Officers Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans to each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.
(d) The Servicer shall pay the Administrative Agent a monthly payment of compensation in an amount to be agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Servicer pursuant to Section 1.04 of the Trust Administration Agreement.
Section 8.12 Servicer Defaults; Termination of Servicer.

(NALT 2018-A SUBI Servicing Supplement) |
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Servicing Agreement, (i) for the purpose of determining what constitutes a Servicer Default with respect to the 2018-A SUBI, the provisions contained in this Section 8.12(a) shall replace in their entirety the provisions contained in Section 4.01(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement and (ii) any Servicer Default with respect to the 2018-A SUBI shall not constitute a Servicer Default with respect to any other Sub-Trust and any Servicer Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) with respect to any other Sub-Trust shall constitute a Servicer Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) only with respect to such Sub-Trust and not with respect to the 2018-A SUBI.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default, the Servicer, in addition to complying with the notice requirements of Section 4.01(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement (except that references therein to Registered Pledgees shall mean each Registered Pledgee of the 2018-A SUBI Certificate), shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee prompt notice of any (i) Servicer Default or (ii) event or condition that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, accompanied in each case by a description of the nature of the default and the Servicers efforts to remedy the same.
(c) In addition to the provisions of Section 4.01(c) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, if a Servicer Default shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2018-A SUBI, the Titling Trustee, on behalf of the Titling Trust, shall, at the direction of the Required Related Holders, by notice given to the Servicer, the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will provide each Rating Agency with notice thereof pursuant to Section 1.02(k) of the Trust Administration Agreement), the Related Beneficiary and the holders of the Rated Securities affected by that Servicer Default, and such notice will terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this 2018-A Servicing Supplement in accordance with such Section. In the event that the Servicer is removed as servicer with respect to servicing the 2018-A SUBI Assets, subject to the consent of the Titling Trustee, the Required Related Holders shall appoint a successor Servicer. The successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Titling Trustee. Such successor Servicer shall be approved by the Titling Trustee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01(e) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, with respect to any Servicer Default related to the 2018-A SUBI Assets, the Titling Trustee, acting on the direction of the Required Related Holders, may waive any default of the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement and its consequences with respect to the 2018-A SUBI and, upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of the Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto. For purposes of this Section, so long as the Lien of the Indenture is in place, the Required Related Holders shall be deemed to be the Indenture Trustee (as Registered Pledgee of the 2018-A SUBI Certificate), acting at the direction of the Required Percentage of the Noteholders and thereafter, the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required Percentage of the Trust Certificateholders (which for this purpose shall include Trust Certificates owned by the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as NMAC or an Affiliate is the Servicer) and any of their respective Affiliates) until the final distribution is made with respect to the 2018-A SUBI Assets.
(d) If the Servicer is removed with respect to servicing the 2018-A SUBI Assets, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances made pursuant to this 2018-A Servicing Supplement, to the extent of the funds available therefor with respect to all Advances made by the Servicer.
