ARTICLE TWO

TRANSFER OF 2023-1 SUBI CERTIFICATE

Section 2.01. Transfer of 2023-1 SUBI Certificate.

(a) In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of cash in the amount of $998,280,430.50 (the “Transfer Consideration”), the Transferor does hereby absolutely sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth above, all of the following (collectively, the “Assets”):

(i) all right, title and interest in and to the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2023-1 SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;

(ii) the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 2023-1 SUBI represented by the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate;

2

(iii) all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Holder of the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement; and

(iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.

Section 2.02. True Sale.  The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets constitute 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 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 first priority grant of a perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York by the Transferor to the Transferee to secure the Transfer Consideration to the Transferor.  The Transferor does hereby grant to the Transferee a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges and interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law.

(i) Organization and Good Standing.  The Transferor is a limited partnership duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Indiana, and has power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are 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 Transferor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited partnership 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 Transferor or would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Transferor to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) Power and Authority.  The Transferor shall have 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 shall have been duly authorized by the Transferor by all necessary corporate action.

3

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 by the Transferor of this Agreement and 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 lapse of time) a default under, the limited partnership agreement of the Transferor, or 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; nor 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 this Agreement); nor violate any law or, to the knowledge of the Transferor, any order, rule or regulation applicable to it or its properties of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Transferor or any of its properties.

4

Transferor, is treated as a beneficial owner of the Transferor if more than 50% of the value of the beneficial owner's interest (directly or indirectly) in the Flow-Through Entity is attributed to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Transferor.

(b) Perfection Representations. The representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Schedule I hereto shall be a part of this Agreement for all purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the perfection representations contained in Schedule I shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.

(iii) Power and Authority.  The Transferee shall have 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 shall have been duly authorized by the Transferee by all necessary corporate action.

5

regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(vi) No Proceedings.  There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Transferee, threatened against the Transferee, 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 Transferee, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Transferee of its obligations under this Agreement.

(vii) Number of Beneficial Owners.  The Transferee has no more than 50 beneficial owners for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of determining the total number of beneficial owners of the Transferee for such purposes, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, a “Flow-Through Entity”) that owns, directly or through other Flow-Through Entities, an interest in the Transferee, is treated as a beneficial owner of the Transferee if more than 50% of the value of the beneficial owner's interest (directly or indirectly) in the Flow-Through Entity is attributed to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Transferee.

(c) If the Transferor makes any change in its jurisdiction of organization (within the meaning of the applicable UCC), name or corporate structure that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Transferor shall give the Transferee written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to such change and shall promptly file any financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Transferor’s interest in the Assets.

4. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement to the Transferee required by the terms of the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.

6. The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee and the security interest in the 2023-1 SUBI Certificate granted under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement.
