 CONVEYANCE OF CONTRACTS 
  
 Section 2.01 Conveyance of Contracts. 
  
 (a) Effective upon the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Onyx hereby sells, grants, transfers, conveys
and assigns to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of the right, title and interest of Onyx in, to and under: 
  
 (i) the Funded Contracts in the Schedule of Contracts; 
  
 (ii) all monies received under the Funded Contracts on or after the related Cut-Off Date; 
  
 (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance
Proceeds with respect to any Financed Vehicle to which a Funded Contract relates received on or after the related Cut-Off Date; 
  
 (iv) the Contract Documents and Contract Files relating to the Funded Contracts (except the Contract Documents and Contract Files for
Funded Contracts which have been the subject of a Full Prepayment received on or after the related Cut-Off Date but no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, in lieu of which the Seller shall have deposited in or credited to the
Collection Account on or prior to the Closing Date an amount equal to such Full Prepayment); 
  
 (v) any and all security interests of Onyx in the Financed Vehicles and the rights to receive proceeds from claims on certain insurance
policies covering the Financed Vehicles or the individual Obligors under each related Funded Contract; and 
  
 (vi) all proceeds in any way delivered with respect to the foregoing, all rights to payments with respect to the foregoing and all rights
to enforce the foregoing. 
  
 (b) Effective upon each Prefunding
Transfer Date, Onyx, for good and valuable consideration, hereby sells, grants, transfers, conveys and assigns to the Purchaser, without recourse, all of the right, title and interest of Onyx in, to and under: 
  
 (i) the Prefunded Contracts listed on the Schedule of
Contracts for such Contracts;

received under the Prefunded Contracts on or after the related Prefunding Cut-Off Date; 
  
 (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Financed Vehicle to which a Prefunded Contract relates
received on or after the related Prefunding Cut-Off Date; 
  
 (iv) the Contract Documents and the Contract Files relating to the Prefunded Contracts; 
  
 (v) any and all security interests of Onyx in the related Financed Vehicles and the rights to receive proceeds from claims on certain

 2 








 (vi) all proceeds in any way delivered with respect to the foregoing, all rights to
payments with respect to the foregoing and all rights to enforce the foregoing. 
  
 The foregoing items of property listed in Sections 2.01(a) and (b), are collectively referred to as the “Property”. 
  
 It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute (and shall be construed and treated
for all purposes as) a true and complete sale of the Property, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Seller to the Purchaser. However, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge to secure
a loan (in spite of the express intent of the parties hereto that this conveyance constitutes, and shall be construed and treated for all purposes, as a true and complete sale), the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security
interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in the Property whether now existing or hereafter created and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the loan deemed to be made in connection with such pledge and, in such event, this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 
  
 (c) In consideration of the sale of the Funded Contracts sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to Onyx on such date an amount equal to $874,287,190.15, representing the estimated fair market value of the Funded
Contracts on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such purchase price for the Funded Contracts exceeds the amount of cash available to the Purchaser from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, then an undivided interest in
such Funded Contracts in an amount equal to such excess shall be deemed to have been contributed to the Purchaser by Onyx. 
  
 (d) In consideration of the sale of the Prefunded Contracts sold to the Purchaser on each Prefunding Date, the Purchaser shall pay to Onyx on such date an
amount equal to the estimated fair market value of the related Prefunded Contracts on such Prefunding Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser for such Prefunded Contracts exceeds the amount of
any cash payments paid by the Issuer to the Purchaser on such Prefunding Date for such Prefunded Contracts, then an undivided interest in such Prefunded Contracts in an amount equal to such excess shall be deemed to have been contributed to the
Purchaser by Onyx. 
  
 (e) It is the intention of Onyx and the
Purchaser that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute (and shall be construed and treated for all purposes as) a true and complete sale of the Property, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances,
from Onyx to the Purchaser. However, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge to secure a loan in spite of the express intent of the parties hereto that this conveyance constitutes (and shall be construed and treated for all
purposes as) a true and complete sale, Onyx hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority perfected security interest in all of Onyx’s right, title and interest in the Property whether now existing or hereafter created and all proceeds of
the foregoing to secure the loan deemed to be made in connection with such pledge and, in such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 
  

 3 








 (f) As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser acknowledges the conveyance to it of the Property from Onyx,
including all right, title and interest of Onyx in and to the Property, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Purchaser. 
  
 (g) In connection with the sale of the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, Onyx shall file, or cause to be filed within ten days after the effective
date of this Agreement a UCC-1 financing statement in order to perfect the sale of the Contracts from Onyx to the Purchaser and the security interest in the Contracts granted to the Purchaser hereunder. Onyx shall have caused UCC financing statement
amendments to have been filed with the office of Secretary of State of the State of Delaware terminating or amending any effective UCC-1 financing statements with respect to any outstanding security interests in the Contracts. 
  
 (h) If any change in the name, identity or corporate structure of Onyx or the
relocation state of incorporation of Onyx would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title
statute, Onyx, within the time period required by applicable law, shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the interests of the Purchaser, in the Contracts, the related Financed Vehicles and the
proceeds thereof. 
  
 (i) During the term of this Agreement, Onyx
and the Purchaser shall each maintain its chief executive office in one of the states of the United States. 
  
 (j) The Purchaser shall pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all
third parties, of the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to the Contracts and in connection with maintaining the first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicles and the proceeds thereof. 
  
 (k) Onyx shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the Contracts and other
Purchased Assets (other than any Purchased Assets with respect thereto, to the extent that the interest of the Purchaser therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). Onyx shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. 
  
 (l) Onyx shall give the Purchaser at least five days’ prior written notice of any change of location of Onyx for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC
and shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or advisable
in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (k) above.

 (e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or

 (h) None of the foregoing representations and
warranties shall be construed as, and Onyx is specifically not making, any representations and warranties regarding the collectibility of the Contracts or the future performance of the Contracts. 
  
 (i) Onyx has not prepared any financial statement which accounts for the
transfer of the Property hereunder to the Purchaser in any manner other than as a sale of the Property by it to the Purchaser, and Onyx has not in any other respect (including, but not limited to, for accounting and tax reporting purposes) accounted
for or treated the transfer of the Property hereunder in any manner other than as a sale and absolute assignment to the Purchaser of Onyx’s full right, title and ownership interest in the Property. 
  
 (j) Onyx has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each
jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of Onyx to perform its obligations under the Basic Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Contracts. No approval or authorization by,

 (k) The Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Purchaser may rely; provided such
representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Purchase Agreement, but shall survive the Grant of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 
  
 (i) This Purchase Agreement creates a valid and continuing
security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Assets in favor of the Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. 

 
 (ii) Seller has taken or will take all steps necessary to
perfect the Seller’s security interest against the Obligors in the property securing the Contracts.

 (iii) The Contracts constitute “tangible chattel paper”, “electronic
chattel paper”, “accounts”, “instruments” or “general intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. 
  
 (iv) The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any
Person.

to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the Purchaser in connection herewith describing the Contracts contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase
of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party.” 
  
 The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not waive any of the foregoing representations or warranties.

 (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by
the Seller and the Purchaser, with the written consent of the Insurer (so long as the Insurer is the Controlling Party) but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add,

contrary herein, this Agreement may not be amended in any way that would adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement,
