 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 
 SECTION 1.1.
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 2016-2 Exchange Note Supplement or, if not defined therein, in Appendix A to the
Credit and Security Agreement. 
 ARTICLE II 

TRANSFER OF THE CONVEYED ASSETS 

SECTION 2.1. Transfer of the Conveyed Assets.

(a) Effective as of the 2016-2 Closing Date and immediately before the transactions contemplated by the 2016-2 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) the 2016-2 Exchange Note; 

(ii) all of the Lender’s rights and benefits, as Exchange Noteholder of the 2016-2 Exchange Note under the 2016-2 Exchange
Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the 2016-2 Exchange Note Supplement and the 2016-2 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 the 2016-2 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 the 2016-2 Exchange Note or collection of any underlying asset included in the 2016-2 Designated Pool. 

  
 2 








 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 of 2016-2 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 the 2016-2
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 the 2016-2 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) The 2016-2 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.
