DEFINITIONS

ARTICLE II

TRANSFER OF THE CONVEYED ASSETS

SECTION 2.1. Transfer of the Conveyed Assets.

(a) Effective as of the2020-1 Closing Date and immediately before the transactions contemplated by the2020-1 Exchange Note Transfer Agreement, the Lender sells and assigns to the Depositor, without recourse, all right, title and interest of the Lender, whether now owned or hereunder acquired, in the following “Conveyed Assets”:

(i) the2020-1 Exchange Note;

(ii) all of the Lender’s rights and benefits, as Exchange Noteholder of the2020-1 Exchange Note under the2020-1 Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the2020-1 Exchange Note Supplement and the2020-1 Servicing Agreement; and

(iii) all proceeds, accounts, money, general intangibles, instruments, chattel paper, goods, investment property and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to the foregoing.

(b) In consideration for the Conveyed Assets, the Depositor will pay to the Lender an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes in cash by federal wire transfer on the2020-1 Closing Date. The Depositor and the Lender each represents and warrants to the other that the amount of cash paid by the Depositor, together with the increase in the value in the Lender’s capital in the Depositor, is equal to the fair market value of the Conveyed Assets.

(c) The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Conveyed Assets pursuant to this Agreement is without recourse, and the Lender does not guarantee payment on the2020-1 Exchange Note or collection of any underlying asset included in the2020-1 Designated Pool.

SECTION 2.2. True Sale.

(a) The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Conveyed Assets hereunder constitutes a true sale and assignment of the Conveyed Assets such that any interest in and title to the Conveyed Assets would not be property of the Lender’s estate in the event the Lender becomes a debtor in a case under any Insolvency Law. To the extent that the conveyance of any Conveyed Asset hereunder is characterized by a court or similar Governmental Authority as a financing (a “Recharacterization”), it is intended by the Lender and the Depositor that the interest conveyed constitute a grant of a first priority perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York by the Lender to the Depositor to secure the payment of the sale price of the Conveyed Assets to the Lender. The Lender does hereby grant to the Depositor a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in the Conveyed Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Depositor and the Lender represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of2020-1 Exchange Note Collections made to the Depositor will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Lender in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lender and the Depositor, and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lender and the Depositor.

(b) The Lender makes the following representations and warranties to the Depositor in the event that, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Conveyed Assets hereunder is not a true sale and assignment of the Conveyed Assets to the Depositor. The representations and warranties speak as of the2020-1 Closing Date and shall survive the sale of the Conveyed Assets to the Depositor hereunder, the transfer of the Conveyed Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the2020-1 Exchange Note Transfer Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(i) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the UCC) in the Conveyed Assets in favor of the Depositor, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Lender.

(ii) The2020-1 Exchange Note constitutes a “certificated security” within the meaning of the relevant UCC.

(iii) The Lender has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing offices in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the Depositor’s security interest in the Conveyed Assets.

(iv) Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, the Lender has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Conveyed Assets. The Lender has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Lender that include a description of collateral covering the Conveyed Assets other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Depositor hereunder or that has been terminated. The Lender is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.
