PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Series Certificate Sale Agreement, the Transferor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Transferee as follows on the Closing Date:

1. The Series Certificate Sale Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 2021-A Series Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from NILT LLC.

2. The 2021-A Series Certificate constitutes a “general intangible” or “certificated security,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

3. Immediately prior to the transfer thereof to the Transferee, the Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the 2021-A Series Certificate free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

4. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 2021-A Series Certificate hereunder to the Transferee required by the terms of the 2021-A Series Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.

5. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 2021-A Series Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the 2021-A Series Certificate hereunder.

6. The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Series Certificate Sale 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 2021-A Series Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee and the security interest in the 2021-A Series Certificate (to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) granted to the Transferee hereunder.

7. To the extent that the 2021-A Series Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee or its assignee.
