The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, in each case, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver the Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $158,000,000, the Class A-2 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $222,000,000, the Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $336,000,000 and the Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $84,000,000.

		3		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

SECTION 2.03 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes of any Class, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of such Class of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.04 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Note Registrar shall maintain a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as provided in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed Note Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes as provided in this Indenture. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee notifies the Issuer that it is unable to act as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to act as successor Note Registrar under this Indenture.

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

(b) Upon the proper surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(c) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the


		4		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(e) All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Indenture Trustee.

(f) By acquiring a Note, each Note Owner will be deemed to represent, warrant and covenant that either (i) it is not, and is not acquiring or holding the Note (or any interest therein) for, on behalf of or with the assets of a Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement that is subject to Similar Law; or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Note (or any interest therein) does not and will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law. Each purchaser and transferee acknowledges and agrees that the Notes are not eligible for purchase by Benefit Plans at any time that the ratings on the Notes are below investment grade.

(g) The Retained Notes, if any (or interests therein), will not be transferred (other than to a Person specified in the definition of Retained Notes) unless a written opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion shall be acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, is delivered to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes, such Notes after such transfer will be treated as debt and, if there are other Notes of the same Class as such transferred Notes which are not Retained Notes prior to such transfer, for such purposes such Notes will be fungible with such other Notes of the same Class; provided, however, that fungibility need not take into account whether Notes are, or are not, Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class. In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.05, the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was


		5		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.06 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.07 Payments of Principal and Interest.

(a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period at the Class A-1 Interest Rate, the Class A-2 Interest Rate, the Class A-3 Interest Rate and the Class A-4 Interest Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each related Distribution Date as specified in the applicable Note by applying amounts available pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 of this Indenture. Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the applicable Final Scheduled Distribution Date, which shall be payable as provided below.

(b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date by applying amounts available pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earlier of (i) from and after the date on which the Notes have been declared to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 in connection with an Event of Default and (ii) with respect to any Class of Notes, on the Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date for that Class. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such


		6		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

Class entitled thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to such final Distribution Date, shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

SECTION 2.08 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.09 Release of Collateral. Subject to Sections 8.05 and 11.01 and the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.

SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes (other than any Retained Notes), upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, or a custodian therefor, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note (other than in the case of any Retained Notes), except as provided in Section 2.12. Except for any Retained Notes, and, otherwise, unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the authorized representative of the Note Owners;


		7		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or of the Notes of any Class, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, and except with respect to notices and communications to any Holders of Retained Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency and shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery to the Clearing Agency.

SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. Except for any Retained Notes (which shall be originally issued as Definitive Notes), if (i) the Seller, the Owner Trustee or the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Seller, the Owner Trustee or the Administrator are unable to locate a qualified successor (and if the Administrator has made such determination, the Administrator has given written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee), (ii) the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, advises each other such party in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of all Classes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or a successor thereto is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners acting together as a single Class, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in


		8		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Administrator shall not be liable for any inability to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. From and after the date of issuance of Definitive Notes, all notices to be given to Noteholders will be mailed thereto at their addresses of record in the Note Register as of the relevant Record Date. Such notices will be deemed to have been given as of the date of mailing. Interest and principal payments on the Definitive Notes on each Distribution Date will be made to the holders in whose names the related Definitive Notes, as applicable, were registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. Payments will be made by check mailed to the address of such holders as they appear on the Note Register, except that a Noteholder having original denominations aggregating at least $1 million may request payment by wire transfer of funds pursuant to written instructions delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final payment on any Definitive Notes will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Notes at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment to Noteholders. From and after the Closing Date, the Holder of a Definitive Note (other than any Retained Note) and the Issuer may elect for such Note to be issued in the form of a Book-Entry Note provided the Clearing Agency is then willing and able to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book Entry Notes. In connection with such election, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order execute, authenticate and deliver the Book-Entry Note and documents related thereto in accordance with the terms hereof and the Issuer Order.

SECTION 2.13 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes (other than the Retained Notes, if any) will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate or, for periods during which there is a single beneficial owner of the Certificates, indebtedness of the Certificateholder issued by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes (other than the Retained Notes, if any) for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.03 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Sections 8.02 and 8.03, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 8.03 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from such accounts for payments shall be paid over to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Administrator except as provided in this Section 3.03.

On or before each Distribution Date, the Issuer shall deposit in the Collection Account or, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, cause to be deposited (including the provision of instructions to the Indenture Trustee to make any required withdrawals from the Reserve Account and to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes and the Certificates, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Indenture Trustee, as Paying Agent, hereby agrees with the Issuer that it will, and the Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, as a condition to its acceptance of its appointment as Paying Agent, to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes or for release to the Issuer for payment on the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay or release such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(b) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes or the release of any amounts to the Issuer to be paid to the Certificateholders;

		10		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes (or for release to the Issuer) if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(e) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes or Certificates (or assisting the Issuer to withhold from payment to the Certificateholders) of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed after such amount has become due and payable and after the Indenture Trustee has taken the steps described in this paragraph shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to Second Harvest Food Bank of Tennessee upon presentation thereto of an Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease. In the event that any Noteholder shall not surrender its Notes for retirement within six months after the date specified in the written notice of final payment described in Section 2.07, the Indenture Trustee will give a second written notice to the registered Noteholders that have not surrendered their Notes for final payment and retirement. If within one year after such second notice any Notes have not been surrendered, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment specified by the Issuer or the Administrator.

SECTION 3.04 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or the Owner Trust Estate.


		11		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

SECTION 3.05 Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(a) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(b) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

(d) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to authorize, file and/or execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed and/or filed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

SECTION 3.06 Opinions as to Trust Estate.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any requisite financing statements and continuation statements and any other requisite documents necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

(b) The Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date within 90 days after the beginning of each fiscal year of the Issuer, beginning in 2014, either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other requisite documents necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other documents that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until the date in the following calendar year on which such Opinion of Counsel must again be delivered.

SECTION 3.07 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

(a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material


		12		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents.

(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of the Trust Agreement, this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

(d) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and shall thereafter be entitled to the Total Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, and the predecessor Servicer, if no successor Servicer has been appointed at the time the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established institution having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.

In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as a subservicer any one of its Affiliates, provided that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, shall remain fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate.


		13		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(e) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

SECTION 3.08 Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

(a) except as expressly permitted by Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

(b) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate;

(c) except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor), (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate, or (D) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part; or

(d) assume or incur any indebtedness other than the Notes or as expressly contemplated by this Indenture or by the Basic Documents.

SECTION 3.09 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will cause the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee concurrently with its delivery thereof to the Issuer the annual statement of compliance described in Section 4.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, on the same date annually upon which such annual statement of compliance is to be delivered by the Servicer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate,

(a) stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer’s Certificate, that a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s supervision; and

ARTICLE V

Remedies

SECTION 5.01 Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) default in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five days;

(b) default in the payment of the principal of any Note on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date or the Redemption Date;

(c) a material default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) which shall continue or not be cured for a period of 90 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, acting together as a single class, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of Default hereunder;

(d) any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall prove to


		20		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and such default shall continue or not be cured, or the circumstance or condition in respect of which such misrepresentation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured, for a period of 60 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, acting together as a single Class, a written notice specifying such default or incorrect representation or warranty and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of Default hereunder; or

(e) an Insolvency Event shall have occurred with respect to the Issuer.

SECTION 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(1) all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(2) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of


		21		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Note at the related Final Scheduled Distribution Date or Redemption Date, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and, incidentally thereto, the Certificateholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, then, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(1) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;


		22		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(2) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(3) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

(4) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property.

Any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

SECTION 5.04 Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and result in the acceleration of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall make payments as set forth in Section 5.06(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, rather than pursuant to Section 5.06(c) thereof.


		23		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(b) If the Indenture Trustee, as a result of the operation of Section 5.04(a), is deemed to have a conflict of interest under the TIA and is required to resign as Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer shall, pursuant to Section 6.08, cause the Servicer to appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) In accordance with Section 5.03(c), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

(1) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(2) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

(3) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and

(4) sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, consent thereto, or (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate may not continue to provide sufficient funds on an ongoing basis to make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of a 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, or (D) the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.01 hereof. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

(d) The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the related record date, payment date and amount to be paid.


		24		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

SECTION 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, unless otherwise directed by the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral and direct the Issuer, Servicer and Administrator not to take steps to liquidate the Receivables. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

SECTION 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder unless such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, and:

(a) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due; or

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request, the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings, and no direction inconsistent with that written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during the 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of those outstanding Notes (or relevant class or classes of Notes).

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.07 Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the


		25		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (in each case with reference to the calculations to be made pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement), and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.11 Control by Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; and

(b) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than the applicable percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes set forth in Section 5.04(c)(4); and

(c) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.


		26		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 or the liquidation or sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default in (a) payment of principal or interest on the Notes or (b) an Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note or Note Owner by such Holder’s acceptance of such Note or beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or a group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the


		27		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(a).

SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer or to each other under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or by the Seller of its remedies under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with each such agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their respective obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, voting as a single class, shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, or against the Administrator under the Administration Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Servicer or the Administrator, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension, or waiver thereunder and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

(1) the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of an authorized signatory, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, including, without limitation, provided to it via email or other suitable means of electronic distribution as permitted in writing by the Indenture Trustee;

(2) the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(3) the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture, or in relation to this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such request, order or direction;

(4) the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(5) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to recalculate, reverify, or make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Administrator or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Administrator upon demand; and nothing in this clause shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors;


		30		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(6) the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under this Indenture or perform any duties under this Indenture either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such agents or attorneys have been selected by the Indenture Trustee with reasonable care;

(7) in order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide the Indenture Trustee upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be reasonably available for such party in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with Applicable Law;

(8) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee herein, including the right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee in its capacities as Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and Secured Party under the Basic Documents; and

(9) all communications, notices, instruction and other documents to be received by the Indenture Trustee (with the exception of those for which a non-electronic signature is expressly requested by the Indenture Trustee) may be provided to it via email with receipt confirmed via reply email, if requested, or other suitable means of electronic distribution as permitted in writing by the Indenture Trustee.

(10) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate (with respect to factual matters) and/or an Opinion of Counsel (with respect to matters of law), as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(11) The Indenture Trustee will not be responsible for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages.

(b) No Noteholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture except upon satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 5.06.

SECTION 6.03 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the Holder, beneficial owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, in so doing the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.


		31		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

SECTION 6.04 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Notes (other than the execution by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Notes), or of the Certificates. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Servicer or the Administrator unless explicitly set forth in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of the Notes or any Receivable, any ownership interest in any Financed Vehicle, or the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Noteholders under this Indenture, including without limitation the validity of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or credit life or credit disability insurance; the existence and contents of any retail installment sales contract or any computer or other record thereof; the completeness of any retail installment sales contract; the performance or enforcement of any retail installment sales contract; the compliance by the Issuer with any covenant or the breach by the Issuer, Seller or Servicer of any warranty or representation made under this Indenture or in any Basic Document or other related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the Issuer, Seller or the Servicer; or any action by the Indenture Trustee taken at the instruction of the Issuer or Servicer, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Indenture. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties under this Indenture or based on the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or Certificates or assignment thereof against the institution serving as the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Noteholder or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Trust or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Notes.

SECTION 6.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee knows that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of such Default within 10 days of the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.06 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record such information as may be required to enable such Person to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee shall also deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record a report relating to its eligibility and qualification to continue as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, any amounts advanced by it under this Indenture, the amount, interest rate and maturity date of certain indebtedness owed by the Trust to such Indenture Trustee, in its


		32		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

individual capacity, the property and funds physically held by such Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such, and any action taken by it that materially affects the Notes and that has not been previously reported.

SECTION 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Administrator shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as have been separately agreed upon between the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Administrator shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Administrator shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents and the performance of its duties hereunder or thereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Administrator shall not relieve the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Administrator shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Administrator shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Administrator shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. To the extent not paid by the Administrator and outstanding for at least 60 days, such fees and indemnities shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, provided, that prior to such payment pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Administrator in writing that such fees and indemnities have been outstanding for at least 60 days. If such fees and indemnities are paid pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Administrator shall reimburse the Issuer in full for such payments.

The Administrator’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 6.08 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by providing written notice of its resignation to the Issuer. Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount may remove the Indenture Trustee at any time and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee in writing. The Administrator may remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

(d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally or practically incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder.


		33		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The successor Indenture Trustee shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with removing and replacing the Indenture Trustee for a series of Notes and transferring the predecessor Indenture Trustee’s duties and obligations to the successor Indenture Trustee. To the extent not paid by the successor Indenture Trustee, the Administrator shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with removing and replacing the Indenture Trustee for a series of Notes and transferring the predecessor Indenture Trustee’s duties and obligations to the successor Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may at any time thereafter petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.09 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee if such surviving Person or transferee corporation or banking shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator reasonable prior written notice of any such transaction (and the Administrator will provide notice thereof to each Rating Agency pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Administration Agreement).


		34		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(1) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such separate trustee or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in and/or directing such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(2) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(3) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.


		35		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts thereupon conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it or its parent shall have a long-term debt rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s, or its equivalent rating or better by Fitch, or otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b).

SECTION 6.13 Acknowledgement by Indenture Trustee of its Obligations Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

		36		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

the most recent Record Date. If three or more Noteholders, or one or more Holders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”), apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants access, during normal business hours, to the current list of Noteholders. Such Indenture Trustee may elect not to afford the requesting Noteholders access to the list of Noteholders if it agrees to mail the desired communication by proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of the requesting Noteholders, to all Noteholders. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders under this Indenture, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

If the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be the Note Registrar, then thereafter the Administrator will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee not more than five days after the most recent Record Date or at such other times as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may request in writing, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of such Record Date.

SECTION 7.02 Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.

ARTICLE VIII

The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture.

(c) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account or the Reserve Account to the Indenture Trustee by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts in an Eligible Investment specified in clause (vi) of the definition of Eligible Investments provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(4) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term “Outstanding”;

(5) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes required to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate if the proceeds of that sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(c)(4);

Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive upon request therefor, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Whenever the Issuer would be required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in this clause (c) if such an Officer’s Certificate had been requested by the Indenture Trustee or required by the TIA, regardless of whether such an Officer’s Certificate was so requested or required, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current calendar year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (c), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

		47		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

Notwithstanding Section 2.09 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of this Section, (i) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents, and (ii) make cash payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

SECTION 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION 11.03 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered


		48		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Action” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

SECTION 11.04 Notices to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Action of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Action of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with (a) the Issuer, to Nissan Auto Receivables 2013-C Owner Trust, c/o Wilmington Trust, National Association, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: Nissan Auto Receivables 2013-C Owner Trust, with a copy to Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, One Nissan Way, Franklin, Tennessee 37067, Attention: Treasurer, or at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the Indenture Trustee and (b) the Indenture Trustee, to U.S. Bank National Association, 190 South LaSalle Street, 7^th Floor, Chicago, IL 60603, Attention: NAROT 2013-C.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies hereunder shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to: (i) in the case of Moody’s, at the following address: Moody’s Investor Service, ABS Monitoring Department, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, and (ii) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch Ratings, One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Asset Backed Securities Group, or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties; provided, however, that all notices, requests, reports, consents or other communications deliverable to any Rating Agency hereunder or under any other Basic Document shall be deemed to be delivered if a copy of such notice, request, report, consent or other communication has been posted on any website maintained by or on behalf of NMAC pursuant to a commitment to any Rating Agency relating to the Notes in accordance with 17 C.F.R. 240 17g-5(a)(3).

SECTION 11.05 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later


		49		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 11.06 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.08 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 11.09 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.


		50		(Nissan 2013-C Indenture)

SECTION 11.10 Severability. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes or the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

SECTION 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.12 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 11.13 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.14 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.15 Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or Certificates or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) the Seller, any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) NMAC or (iv) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
