4.4 Lessor shall transfer the ownership of the rented vehicles and the Leased Claims, provide a copy of the “Certificate of Ownership Transfer of the Rented Vehicles,” and surrender the pertinent legal documents on transfer of ownership of the rented vehicles and the Leased Claims to Purchaser within five business days after the receipt of the total Repurchase Price from Purchaser.
