Section 2.01 Transfer of 2010-B SUBI Certificate. In consideration of the Transferee’s
delivery to, or upon the order of, the Depositor of the Notes and the Trust Certificate, (the
“Transfer Price”) the Depositor hereby absolutely sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys
to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the
date set forth above, all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the following
(collectively, the “Assets”):
(i) the 2010-B SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2010-B SUBI represented
thereby, including all monies due and paid or to become due and paid or payable thereon or
in respect thereof after the Cutoff Date;
(ii) all of the Depositor’s rights and benefits as holder of the 2010-B SUBI
Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;
(iii) the right to realize upon any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure
the interest in the 2010-B SUBI represented by the 2010-B SUBI Certificate, as granted in

Section 2.02 True Sale. The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer, and
assignment of the Assets constitutes a true sale and assignment of the Assets such that any
interest in and title to the Assets would not be property of the Depositor’s estate in the event
that the Depositor 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 (i), it is intended by the Depositor and the Transferee that the interest conveyed
constitutes a grant of a security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware by
the Depositor to the Transferee to secure the Transfer Price to the Depositor, which security
interest shall be perfected and of a first priority, (ii) the Depositor hereby grants to the
Transferee a security interest in all of its right, title, and privilege and interest in and to the
Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under
all applicable laws, and (iii) the possession by the Transferee or its agent of the 2010-B SUBI
Certificate shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser
or a Person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant
to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction.

evidencing not less than a Majority Interest of the Notes voting together as a single class, or (B)
such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to

(NALT 2010-B Trust SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement)
7
consent of each Person whose interests are adversely affected. An amendment shall be deemed
not to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders if the Rating Agency
Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Officer’s Certificate described in
the preceding sentence is provided to the Indenture Trustee. The consent of the Trust
Certificateholder or the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given if the Depositor does not
receive a written objection from such Person within 10 Business Days after a written request for
such consent shall have been given. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into or consent to any such amendment that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest
in any Note, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Holder of
such Note, or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to
any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which
were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended by the Depositor without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other Person
to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to comply with
or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or any accounting
rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a condition to any such
amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and the Officer’s Certificate
described in Section 3.01(a)(i)(B) is delivered to the Indenture Trustee.
(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such
Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such
Person consents to the substance thereof.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide
each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Transferee, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later than 10
Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall furnish a
copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Transferee, the Trust Certificateholder, the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain whether a Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied with respect to any amendment. When the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied with respect to such amendment, the Servicer shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect and the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely upon the Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer that a Rating Agency Condition
has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.

of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatever held invalid or unenforceable, such provisions

Agreement, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of such remaining covenants, agreements and provisions, or the rights of any parties
hereto. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders
any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.
