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 2018-2 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 2018-2 Closing Date and immediately before the transactions contemplated by the
2018-2 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 2018-2 Exchange Note; 

(ii) all of the Lender’s rights and benefits, as Exchange Noteholder of the 2018-2
Exchange Note under the 2018-2 Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the 2018-2 Exchange Note Supplement and the
2018-2 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 2018-2 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. 

  
 2 








 (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 2018-2 Exchange Note or collection of any underlying asset included in the 2018-2
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 of 2018-2 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 2018-2 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 2018-2 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 2018-2 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. 

  
 3 








 (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. 
 SECTION 2.3. Representations and Warranties of the Lender and the Depositor. 

(a) The Lender hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor as of the 2018-2 Closing Date that:

Documents to which it is a party will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Lender, and will not, except as otherwise provided herein, result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of
