                       TRANSFER OF 2004-A SUBI CERTIFICATE

      Section 2.01. Transfer of 2004-A SUBI Certificate.

      In consideration of the Transferee's delivery to, or upon the order of,
the Transferor of $1,724,402,102.96 (the "Transfer Price") in cash by federal

                                             SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement

                                        3
<PAGE>

absolutely sells, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Transferee,
without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the
date set forth above, all of the Transferor's right, title, and interest in and
to the following (collectively, the "Assets"):

            (i) the 2004-A SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2004-A SUBI
      represented thereby, including all monies due and paid or to become due
      and paid or payable thereon or in respect thereof;

            (ii) all of the Transferor's rights and benefits as holder of the
      2004-A SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust
      Agreement;

            (iii) the right to realize upon any property that underlies or may
      be deemed to secure the interest in the 2004-A SUBI represented by the
      2004-A SUBI Certificate, as granted in the 2004-A SUBI Supplement and in
      the 2004-A SUBI Certificate;

            (iv) all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents,
      money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, securities accounts,
      investment property, financial assets, goods, letters of credit, letters
      of credit rights, advices of credit and uncertificated securities, and
      other property consisting of, arising from, or relating or credited to the
      foregoing; and

            (v) all cash and non-cash proceeds of all of the foregoing.

      Section 2.02. True Sale. The parties hereto intend that the sale,
transfer, and assignment of the Assets constitutes a true sale and assignment of
the Assets such that any interest in and title to the Assets would not be
property of the Transferor's estate in the event that the Transferor becomes a
debtor in a case under any bankruptcy law. To the extent that the conveyance of
the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental
authority as a financing, it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee
that the interest conveyed constitutes a grant of a security interest under the
UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware by the Transferor to the Transferee to
secure the Transfer Price to the Transferor, which security interest shall be
perfected and of a first priority. The Transferor hereby grants to the
Transferee a security interest in all of its right, title, and privilege and
interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement
constitutes a "security agreement" under all applicable laws.

      Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor and the
Transferee.

      (a) The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Transferee as of
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date that:

      owned and such business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant
      times, and shall have, power, authority and legal right to acquire, own
      and sell the Assets.

      business as a foreign business trust in good standing, and has obtained
      all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the
      ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall
      require such qualifications, except where the failure to have any such
      license, approval, or qualification would not have a Material Adverse
      Effect on the Transferor.

            (iii) Power and Authority. The Transferor has the power and
      authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its
      terms; and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has

      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
      liquidation, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
      rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of
      whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity
      or at law.

            (v) No Violation. The execution, delivery, and performance by the
      Transferor of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do
      not (A) conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the terms and
      provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
      default under the Transferor's trust agreement, or (B) conflict with or
      breach any of the material terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or
      without notice or lapse of time) a default under any indenture, agreement
      or other instrument to which the Transferor is a party or by which it may
      be bound or any of its properties are subject; or (C) result in the
      creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to
      the terms of any material indenture, agreement, or other instrument (other
      than as permitted by the Basic Documents); or (D) violate any law or, to
      the knowledge of the Transferor, any order, rule, or regulation applicable
      to it or its properties, or (E) contravene, violate, or result in a

      Transferor or any of its properties, except to the extent that such
      contravention, violation, or default would not be likely to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

            (vi) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings in which the
      Transferor has been served or, to the knowledge of the Transferor,
      proceedings or investigations that are pending or threatened in each case
      against the Transferor, before any court, regulatory body, administrative
      agency or other tribunal, or governmental instrumentality (A) asserting
      the invalidity of this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation
      of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) seeking
      any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the
      Transferor, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
      affect the performance by the Transferor of its obligations under this
      Agreement.

      currently owned and such business is presently conducted, and had at all
      relevant times, and shall have, power, authority, and legal right to
      acquire, own and sell the Assets.

            (ii) Due Qualification. The Transferee is duly qualified to do
      business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has
      obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in
      which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
      shall require such qualifications, except where the failure to have any
      such license, approval or qualification would not have a Material Adverse
      Effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Transferee or

      accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or
      limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
      liquidation, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
      rights in general and by general principles of equity, regardless of
      whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity
      or at law.

            (v) No Violation. The execution, delivery, and performance of this
      Agreement by the Transferee and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do
      not (A) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
      provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
      default under, the limited liability company agreement of the Transferee;
      or (B) conflict with or breach any of the material terms or provisions of,

      Transferee or any of its properties, except to the extent that such
      contravention, violation, or default would not be likely to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

            (vi) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings in which the
      Transferee has been served or, to the knowledge of the Transferee,
      proceedings or investigations that are pending or threatened, in each case

necessary to perfect the sale of the Assets, and the proceeds thereof to the
Transferor (and any continuation statements as are required by applicable state
law), and to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing statement (or
continuation statement) or other evidence of such filings (which may, for
purposes of this Section 2.04, consist of telephone confirmation of such filings
with the file stamped copy of each such filing to be provided to the Transferee
in due course), as soon as is practicable after receipt by the Transferor
thereof.
