ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

4.1 Protection of Right, Title and Interest.

(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets (other than any such Purchased Assets, to the extent that the interest of the Purchaser therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(b) The Seller shall notify the Purchaser within 30 days after any change of its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Sections 9-506 and 9-507 of the UCC, and shall promptly file appropriate additional financing statements and amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation statements.

(c) The Seller shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale hereunder of the Receivables to the Purchaser, the Seller’s master computer records that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by the Purchaser.

(d) If at any time the Seller shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any interest in automotive receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or print-outs that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser).

4.2 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests hereunder and contemplated pursuant to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller’s obligations under this Section 4.2 shall terminate upon the termination of the Issuer pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Trust Agreement.

4.3 Repurchase Events and Seller’s Assignment of Repurchased Receivables.

(a) The Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall inform the other party to this Agreement promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.2(b) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in any Receivable; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate by the Servicer shall be deemed to constitute prompt written notice by the Purchaser of such breach. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders in such Receivable, then the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Purchaser (or its assignee), in either case on or before the Distribution Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach shall be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full of such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of the Receivables, the Seller shall remit (or cause to be remitted) the Repurchase Payment in the manner specified in Section 5.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon payment of such Repurchase Payment by the Seller, the Purchaser (or its assignee, as applicable) shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably requested of it to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable and any related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant hereto. The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (by operation of the assignment of the Purchaser’s rights hereunder pursuant to the Indenture), or any Securityholder with respect to a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.2(b), shall be to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section.

(b) With respect to all Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser (or its assignee, as applicable) shall be deemed to assign, without recourse, representation or warranty (other than that it has good and marketable title to such Receivables) (and without the need of any further written assignment), to the Seller all the Purchaser’s (or such assignee’s, as applicable) right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, and all security and documents relating thereto.

4.4 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If the Seller, Issuer, an Investor, the Owner Trustee (acting at the direction of a Certificateholder) or the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of an Investor pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture) (the “Requesting Party”) requests that NMAC repurchase any Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3 (the party or parties requested to repurchase a receivable, the “Requested Party” or “Requested Parties”) and the repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the request by NMAC, the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Section 4.4. If the Requesting Party is the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, will follow the direction of the related Investor or Certificateholder, as applicable, during the mediation or arbitration. If both the Owner Trustee (on behalf of one or more Certificateholders) and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of one or more Investors) are Requesting Parties, then the Indenture Trustee as Requesting Party (at the direction of the Investor that directed the Indenture Trustee to make the repurchase request) shall have the right to make the selection of mediation or arbitration.

(b) The Requesting Party will provide notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 of its intention to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, as applicable, to the Requested Parties, with a copy to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. NMAC agrees that it will participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party to the extent it is a Requested Party. The Requested Party shall provide notice to the Seller, Issuer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee that the Requested Party has received a request to mediate or arbitrate a repurchase request. Upon receipt of such notice, the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall advise the Requesting Party and Requested Party of an intent to join in the mediation or arbitration, which shall result in their being joined as a Requesting Party in the proceeding. A Requesting Party may not initiate a mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Section 4.4 with respect to a Receivable that is, or has been, the subject of an ongoing or previous mediation or arbitration (whether by that Requesting Party or another Requesting Party) but will have the right to join an existing mediation or arbitration with respect to that Receivable if the mediation or arbitration has not yet concluded, subject to a determination by the parties to the existing mediation or arbitration that such joinder would not prejudice the rights of the participants to such existing mediation or arbitration or unduly delay such proceeding.

(c) If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i) The mediation will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association selected by the Requesting Party and conducted pursuant to such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time.

(ii) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(iii) The mediator is required to be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the repurchase dispute and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”).

(d) If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i) The arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association jointly selected by the parties, and if the parties are unable to agree on an association, by the AAA, and conducted pursuant to such association’s arbitration procedures in effect at such time.

(ii) The arbitrator is required to be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the repurchase dispute and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by AAA.

(iii) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment or as soon as practicable thereafter. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by it, and the Requested Party shall not be required to pay more than the applicable Repurchase Amount with respect to any receivable which such Requested Party is required to repurchase under the terms of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. If an Asset Review was conducted in connection with the Receivables that are the subject of the arbitration, then the arbitrator will determine the party or parties required to pay the related Asset Reviewer Fee. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The determination will be final and non-appealable absent manifest error and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) By selecting arbitration, the Requesting Party is waiving the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(v) No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall be responsible to evaluate the qualifications of any mediator or arbitrator, or for paying the costs, expenses and fees of any mediation or arbitration initiated by a Requesting Party in accordance with this Section 4.4.

(f) The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York or such other location mutually agreed to by the Requesting Party and the Requested Parties;

(ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law;

(iii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any meetings or discussions regarding any unfulfilled repurchase request, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 4.4, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, any information exchanged in connection with any mediation, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration (collectively, “Confidential Information”), shall be and remain confidential and inadmissible (except disclosures required by Applicable Law) for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 4.4) other than as required to be disclosed in accordance with applicable law, regulatory requirements, or court order or to the extent that the Requested Party, in its sole discretion, elects to disclose such information. Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party, except that a party may disclose such information to its own attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives (collectively “Representatives”), as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 4.4, and the Asset Representations Reviewer, if an Asset Review has been conducted, if the disclosing Party (a) directs such Representatives to keep the information confidential, (b) is responsible for any disclosure by its Representatives of such information and (c) takes at its sole expense all reasonable measures to restrain such Representatives from disclosing such information. If any party receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for Confidential Information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its Confidential Information or seek other appropriate protective remedies, consistent with the applicable requirements of law and regulation. If, in the absence of a protective order, such party or any of its representatives are compelled as a matter of law, regulation, legal process or by regulatory authority to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information, such party may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended by the Seller and the Purchaser for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders with the consent of:

(i) the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; and

(ii) the Holders of the Certificates evidencing a majority of the Certificate Balance.

It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders or Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

5.10 Transfers Intended as Sales; Security Interest.

The sales and transfers by the Seller of the Receivables and related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectability of the Receivables.

(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;

(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and

(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

5.11 No Petition. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by any Bankruptcy Remote Party, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause such Bankruptcy Remote Party to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

5.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any Proceeding or counterclaim based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Basic Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.
