 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS

Definitions.    Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix 1 to the 2017-1 Exchange Note
Supplement or, if not defined therein, in Appendix A to the Credit and Security Agreement. 
 ARTICLE II 

TRANSFER OF THE TRANSFERRED ASSETS 

SECTION 2.1. Transfer of the Transferred Assets. 

(a) Effective as of the 2017-1 Closing Date and immediately after the transactions contemplated by the 2017-1 Exchange Note Sale Agreement and the Trust Agreement and immediately before the transaction contemplated by the Indenture, the Transferor sells and assigns to the Transferee, without recourse, all right,
title and interest of the Transferee, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the following “Transferred Assets”: 

(i) the 2017-1 Exchange Note; 

(ii) all of the Lender’s rights and benefits, as Exchange Noteholder of the 2017-1
Exchange Note under the 2017-1 Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the 2017-1 Exchange Note Supplement and the
2017-1 Servicing Agreement; 
 (iii) all of the Depositor’s rights and benefits,
as Exchange Noteholder of the 2017-1 Exchange Note under the 2017-1 Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the 2017-1
Exchange Note Supplement and the 2017-1 Servicing Agreement; 

  
 2 








 (iv) all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Sale Agreement
Transferee under the 2017-1 Exchange Note Sale Agreement (including, without limitation, its rights pursuant to Section 2.5 thereof); and 

(v) 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 (i) the Transferred Assets, and
(ii) the Transferor’s performance of its obligations under Section 2.14(a) of the 2017-1 Servicing Supplement to deposit the Specified Reserve Balance into the Reserve Account on the 2017-1 Closing Date, the Transferee will transfer to the Transferor, without recourse, all right, title and interest of the Transferee, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Notes and the
rights to distributions under Section 8.3 of the Indenture, as payment for the Transferred Assets. 
 (c) The sale, transfer,
assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement is without recourse, and the Transferor does not guarantee payment on the 2017-1 Exchange Note or any collection of underlying
asset included in the 2017-1 Designated Pool. 
 SECTION 2.2. True Sale.

(a) The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Assets hereunder constitutes a true sale
and assignment of the Transferred Assets such that any interest in and title to the Transferred Assets would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in the event the Transferor becomes a debtor in a case under any Insolvency Law. To the
extent that the conveyance of the Transferred Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar Governmental Authority as a financing (a “Recharacterization”), it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee 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 Transferor to the Transferee to secure the sale price of the Transferred Assets to the Transferor. The
Transferor does hereby grant to the Transferee a security interest in and to all of its rights, title and privileges and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in the Transferred 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 Transferor and the Transferee represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of 2017-1 Exchange Note Collections made to the Transferee will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Transferor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor and the
Transferee, and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor and the Transferee. 
 (b) The
Transferor makes the following representations and warranties to the Transferee in the event that, notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Transferred Assets hereunder is not a true
sale and assignment of the Transferred Assets to the Transferee. The representations and warranties speak as of the 2017-1 Closing date and shall survive the sale of the Transferred Assets to the Transferee
hereunder and the pledge thereof by the Transferee to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 

  
 3 








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

(ii) The 2017-1 Exchange Note constitutes a “certificated security”
within the meaning of the relevant UCC. 
 (iii) The Transferor 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 Transferee’s security interest in the Transferred Assets. 

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

SECTION 4.12. Subordination. 

(a) The Transferor and the Transferee agree that any claim that the Transferor or the Transferee may seek to enforce at any time against any
assets of the Transferor or the Transferee other than the Transferred Assets, will be subordinate to payment in full of all other claims with respect to such other assets. However, this Section will not limit, subordinate or otherwise modify any
claims against the Transferor or the Transferee with respect to any right to indemnification or other obligation of the Transferor or the Transferee relating to (i) the Transferred Assets, (ii) any related credit enhancement,
(iii) any transaction entered into in connection with the Transferred Assets, (iv) any administrative services performed in connection with the Transferred Assets, or (v) any obligation to any Person acting as a trustee or an
administrator. The Transferee hereby releases all claims to the assets of the Titling Trust that are not allocated to the 2017-1 Designated Pool, and, in the event that such release is not given effect, the
Transferee hereby agrees to fully subordinate any claims it may have against such other assets of the Titling Trust. 
 (b) The Transferor
agrees that any claim the Transferor may seek to enforce against the Transferee or any of its assets will be subordinate to the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes and all other Issuer Obligations. 

(c) The parties to this Agreement intend that Section 4.12(a) constitutes an enforceable subordination agreement under Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
