CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller agrees, or has agreed, to Convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except to the extent specifically provided herein, on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Purchaser agrees, or has agreed, to purchase from the Seller on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Initial Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral Obligation listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (as such schedule may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Schedule of Collateral Obligations”) (the Schedule of Collateral Obligations, as amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified shall become part of the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the Loan Agreement), together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing but excluding the Retained Interests (if any) for such Collateral Obligation.

(b) In the event the Purchaser agrees, from time to time after the Closing Date, to acquire additional Collateral Obligations (including Related Security) from the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver written notice thereof to the Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Obligations identifying the Transferred Assets proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser shall purchase, on the applicable Subsequent Conveyance Date (each such purchase and sale being herein called a “Subsequent Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral Obligation then reported by the Seller on the Schedule of Collateral Obligations attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing.

(c) It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any purchase be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees and under the other Transaction Documents, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law

-4-

and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser assumes all risk relating to nonpayment or failure by the Obligors to perform any obligations owed by them under the Transferred Assets. The Seller assigns each Transferred Asset “as is,” and makes no covenants, representations or warranties regarding the Transferred Assets except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

(d) In connection with the Initial Conveyance, the Seller agrees to file on or prior to the Closing Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of applicable state law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof.

(e) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets purchased hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and xxxx its master computer records (or related sub-ledger) noting the purchase by the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign (if necessary) and file, initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature; provided that the description of collateral contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(f) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to the time of conveyance of any Collateral Obligation hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights to or claim of benefit from any Collateral Obligation (or any interest therein) owned by the Seller.

SECTION 2.2 Indemnification. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify on an after-tax basis the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses, including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them as a result of the Seller’s

-5-

fraud or the failure of the Seller to perform its duties in compliance in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts in respect of any Transferred Asset due to such Obligor’s creditworthiness, (b) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (c) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset, (d) any Excluded Taxes, (e) any special, indirect, consequential (including loss of profits), remote, speculative or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages), (f) Indemnified Amounts resulting from the performance of the Collateral Obligations or (g) Indemnified Amounts payable to an Indemnified Party arising out of a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant related to a Warranty Collateral Obligation that has been repurchased by the Seller from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(a).

SECTION 2.3 Administrative Convenience. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, the Seller may direct that a Collateral Obligation be titled directly into the name of the Purchaser, and/or that any document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, any chain of indorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Collateral Obligation as a lender at the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Purchaser at the direction of the Seller or (b) the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of the related Underlying Instruments may reflect that the Seller (or any affiliate thereof or any third party from whom the Seller may purchase a Collateral Obligation) is assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Purchaser. Nothing in any such document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, nothing in such chain of indorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the related Collateral Obligation by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transferred Assets Conveyed on each Purchase Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Transferred Assets as of such date.

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid on the related Purchase Date (a) by payment in cash in immediately available funds in an amount not greater than the sum of (i) the proceeds of Advances made to the Purchaser with respect to such Collateral Obligations to be Conveyed on such Purchase Date and (ii) amounts constituting Principal Collections in the Collections Account utilized for a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 6.4 and Section 8.3(b) of the Loan Agreement and/or (b) to the extent not paid in cash, by the Seller making a capital contribution to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price.

(k) Backup Security Interest; Other. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC (to the extent such security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement under such Article), is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Purchaser; the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein; with respect to Transferred Assets that constitute Security Entitlements (A) all of such Security Entitlements have been credited to the Collection Account and the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as Financial Assets, (B) all steps necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain Control with respect to the Collection Account have been taken and (C) the Collection Account is not in the name of any Person other than the Purchaser, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; the Purchaser has not instructed the Securities Intermediary to comply with the entitlement order of any Person other than the Collateral Agent; provided that, until the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Account Control Agreement), the Purchaser (or the Servicer on its behalf) may cause cash in the Collection Account to be invested in Permitted Investments, and the proceeds thereof to be paid and distributed in accordance with the Loan Agreement; all Accounts constitute Securities Accounts; the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Assets purchased by the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens); the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Collateral Obligation to the sale and granting of a security interest in the Collateral Obligations hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or

authorize the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under Applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Maryland and shall cause the filing thereof within ten (10) days after the Closing Date (and all financing statements referred to in this clause shall contain a statement to the effect that “The grant of a security interest in or purchase of any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party”); all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Asset have been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Loan Agreement, will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian; the Seller has received, or subject to the delivery requirements contained the Loan Agreement will receive, a written acknowledgment from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent or its bailee is holding each underlying promissory note evidencing a Collateral Obligation solely on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Collateral Obligations has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral Custodian, or subject to the delivery requirements of the Loan Agreement, will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian, as assignee of the Purchaser on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Collateral Custodian or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Collateral Custodian upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security, in each case to be held by the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Collateral Custodian to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.

(l) Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Collateral Obligation Payments. With respect to each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold hereunder, the Seller sold such Transferred Collateral Obligation to the Purchaser in exchange for payment, made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value or, to the extent that the fair market value of any Transferred Collateral Obligation exceeds the amount of any such payment so received by the Seller from the Purchaser, the Seller has made a capital contribution to the Purchaser of such portion of such Transferred Collateral Obligation. Each such Conveyance referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser and, accordingly, no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to or defraud any creditor of the Seller.

(m) Eligibility of Transferred Collateral Obligations. Each Transferred Collateral Obligation Conveyed hereunder is, at the time of such Conveyance, an Eligible Collateral Obligation. All consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations of any Governmental Authority or any Person required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the transfer of an ownership interest or security interest in each item of Transferred Assets to the Purchaser have been duly obtained, effected or given and

-10-

are in full force and effect as of the related Purchase Date. At the time of such Conveyance, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Seller no event has occurred and is continuing which could reasonably be expected to affect the collectability of such Transferred Collateral Obligation or cause it not to be paid in full in accordance with its terms.

(n) Adequate Capitalization; No Insolvency. The Seller is adequately capitalized and will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Seller does not hereby agree to maintain the solvency of the Purchaser. The Seller is adequately capitalized for its business as proposed to be conducted in the foreseeable future and does not expect the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or similar official in respect of its assets. The Seller executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party for fair consideration and without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or any other Person.

(o) True Sale. Each Transferred Collateral Obligation sold hereunder shall have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser in a “true sale”.

(p) Special Purpose Entity.

The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof, and until all amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement have been paid in full (other than as expressly survive the termination of the Loan Agreement), unless the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing:

(a) Compliance with Agreements and Applicable Laws. The Seller shall perform each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and comply with all Applicable Laws, including those applicable to the Transferred Collateral Obligations and all proceeds thereof, except to the extent that the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business. The Seller shall: (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to (A) preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation and maintain its rights and franchises in its jurisdiction of formation and (B) qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing and preserve its rights and franchises in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify and remain qualified and preserve its rights and franchises would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its assets, operations, properties, financial condition, or business; and (ii) at all times maintain, preserve and protect all of its licenses, permits, charters and registrations in each case except where the failure to maintain such licenses, permits, charters and registrations would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Liens. The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents or on or with respect to any of its rights in the Transferred Assets, in each case other than Permitted Liens.

(g) Change of Name. Etc. The Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller (or by the Facility Agent on behalf of the Seller) in accordance with Section 2.1(c) seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Seller shall have given the Purchaser at least 30 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

(h) Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for tax or accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Collateral Obligations Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder; provided that the Seller may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

(i) Commingling. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of any Collateral Obligations into the Collection Account.
