CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS
. (a) In the event the Purchaser agrees (in accordance with and subject to the requirements of the Credit Agreement) from time to time to acquire one or
-3-
NAI-1513992871v2
more Loan Assets and Related Property from the Seller and the Seller agrees to Convey such Loan Assets and Related Property to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall deliver written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the Conveyance Date and attaching a supplement to Schedule A identifying the Loan Assets proposed to be Conveyed and the Purchase Price with respect to such Conveyance. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser shall accept such Conveyance, on the applicable Conveyance Date, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to each Loan Asset then reported by the Seller on the Schedule A attached to the related Purchase Notice and the Related Property, together with all proceeds of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule A, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, shall automatically be deemed to update any previously delivered Schedule A without the need for action or consent on the part of any Person.
(b)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 providing Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any Conveyance 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 expressed herein, 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 first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) 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 to secure an obligation of the Seller to pay over and transfer to the Purchaser any and all distributions received by the Seller (other than Excluded Amounts) in relation to the Transferred Assets from time to time, whether in cash or in kind, so that the Purchaser will receive all distributions under, proceeds of and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets and to secure all other obligations of the Seller hereunder. If the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, 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 hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the underlying instruments, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
(c)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 first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law 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
-4-
NAI-1513992871v2
to make any distributions owed by them under the Transferred Assets. Except with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants expressly stated in this Agreement, the Seller assigns each Transferred Asset “as is,” and makes no covenants, representations or warranties regarding the Transferred Assets.
(d)In connection with this Agreement, the Seller agrees to file (or cause to be filed) 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 and to keep such financing statements effective at all times during the term of this Agreement.
(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 Conveyed 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 records noting the Conveyance to the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. 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 further acts of the Seller; 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 Loan Asset hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights to or claim of benefit from any Loan Asset (or any interest therein) owned by the Seller.
(g)The Transferred Assets acquired, transferred to and assumed by the Purchaser from the Seller shall include the Seller’s entitlement to any surplus or responsibility for any deficiency that, in either case, arises under, out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the foreclosure upon or acceleration of any such Transferred Assets (other than Excluded Amounts).
.
. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document or assignment agreement required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Transferred Asset in accordance with the terms of the related underlying instruments may reflect that (i) the Seller (or
-5-
NAI-1513992871v2
any Affiliate or third party from whom the Seller or the applicable Affiliate may purchase Transferred Asset) is assigning such Transferred Asset directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Transferred Asset at the closing of such Transferred Asset.
Section 2.4Actions Pending Completion of Conveyance
. (a) Pending the receipt of any required consents to, and the effectiveness of, the sale of any Loan Assets from the Seller to the Purchaser on the date hereof in accordance with the applicable underlying instrument, the Seller hereby sells to the Purchaser a 100% participation in such Loan Asset and its related right, title and interest (each, a “Participation”). The Participations will not include any rights that are not permitted to be participated pursuant to the terms of the underlying instruments. Such sale of the Participations shall be without recourse to the Seller (including with regard to collectability), except as otherwise expressly provided in the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV, and shall constitute an absolute sale of each such Participation. Each of the Participations has the following characteristics:
(i)the Participation represents an undivided participating interest in 100% of the underlying Loan Asset and its proceeds (including the Proceeds);
(ii)the Seller does not provide any guaranty of payments to the holder of the Participation or other form of recourse (except as otherwise expressly provided in the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV) or credit support;
(iii)the Participation represents a pass through of all of the payments made on the Loan Asset (including the Proceeds) and will last for the same length of time as such Loan Asset except that each Participation will terminate automatically upon the settlement of the assignment of the underlying right, title and interest; and
(iv)the Seller holds title in such participated Loan Assets for the benefit of the Purchaser and shall exercise the same care in the administration of the participated Loan Assets as it would exercise for loans held for its own account.
(b)Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Conveyance Date cause the Buyer to become a lender under the underlying instrument with respect to the Seller’s interest in each Transferred Asset and take such action as shall be mutually agreeable in connection therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying instrument and consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)Pending completion of the assignment of the Seller’s interest in each Transferred Asset in accordance with the applicable underlying instruments, the Seller shall comply with any written instructions provided to the Seller by or on behalf of the Purchaser with respect to voting rights to be exercised by holders of such Transferred Assets and shall refrain from taking any action with respect to the participated Loan Assets other than as instructed by the Purchaser, other than with respect to any voting rights that are not permitted to be participated pursuant to the terms of the applicable underlying instrument (and such restrictions, requirements or prohibitions are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein).
. (a) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) or any of
-6-
NAI-1513992871v2
such Person’s respective shareholders, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented out-of- pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by any Indemnified Party or awarded against any Indemnified Party in favor of any Person (including the Seller) other than such Indemnified Party arising out of any material breach by the Seller of any of its obligations hereunder or arising as a result of the failure of any representation or warranty of the Seller herein to be true and correct in all material respects or, if qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects, on the date such representation or warranty was made; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or any Transaction Document, (ii) result from a claim brought by the Seller against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, if the Seller has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) include any punitive, indirect, consequential, special damages, lost profits or other similar damages (provided that this clause (iii) shall not limit Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent of any such indemnifiable amounts that become payable by the Indemnified Party to any applicable third party), (iv) arise due to an Obligor’s failure to pay any amounts due under the applicable loan agreement in accordance with its terms or are otherwise due to an Obligor’s creditworthiness, (v) include any Excluded Taxes (other than any Excluded Taxes that represent Indemnified Amounts arising out of a Non-Tax claim) or (vi) Indemnified Amounts resulting from the performance or non-performance of the Transferred Assets.
(b)If the Seller has made any payment pursuant to this Section 2.5 and the recipient thereof later collects any payments from others (including insurance companies) in respect of such amounts or is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to such indemnification, then the recipient agrees that it shall promptly repay to the Seller such amounts collected.
(c)Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Seller to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Indemnified Party, within two (2) Business Days following receipt by the Seller of the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts).
(d)The obligations of the Seller under this Section 2.5 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Document Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Purchaser, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Document Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

NAI-1513992871v2
Section 2.6Assignment of Rights and Indemnities
. The Seller acknowledges that, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Purchaser shall assign all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement, including its rights of indemnity granted hereunder, to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon such assignment, (a) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have all rights of the Purchaser hereunder and may in turn assign such rights, and (b) the obligations of the Seller under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 shall inure to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Seller agrees that, upon such assignment, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may enforce directly, without joinder of the Purchaser, the indemnities set forth in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, and from any other payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement and any other transaction contemplated hereby, such amounts as Purchaser may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, they shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
ARTICLE III
CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING
. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for each Loan Asset Conveyed on each Conveyance Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value in accordance with the Credit Agreement (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Loan Asset Conveyed as of such date. The Purchase Price for the Loan Assets Conveyed on the date hereof is set forth on Schedule A hereto.

(e)Good and Marketable Title. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Assets Conveyed to the Purchaser on the applicable Conveyance Date, which Transferred Assets were originated without any fraud or misrepresentation by the Seller or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, on the part of the applicable Obligor, and free and clear of any lien (other than the liens in favor of the Purchaser and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Transaction Documents and inchoate liens arising by operation of law, Permitted Liens or any lien that will be released prior to or contemporaneously with the applicable Conveyance) and there are no financing statements naming the Seller as debtor and covering the Transferred Assets other than
-9-
NAI-1513992871v2
any financing statements in favor of the Purchaser and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Transaction Documents, Permitted Liens or any lien that will be released prior to or contemporaneously with the applicable Conveyance.
(f)Backup Security Interest. 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 creates a valid and continuing lien on the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to 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 filing a UCC financing statement under such article), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller;
(ii)the Transferred Assets are comprised of instruments, security entitlements, general intangibles, accounts, certificated securities, uncertificated securities, securities accounts, deposit accounts, supporting obligations, insurance, investment property and proceeds (each as defined in the UCC) and such other categories of collateral under the UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein;

-10-
NAI-1513992871v2
(g)Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Loan Asset Payments. With respect to each Transferred Asset sold or contributed hereunder, the Seller sold or contributed such Transferred Asset 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. 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 the Bankruptcy Code and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(h)Adequate Capitalization; No Insolvency. As of such date it is, and after giving effect to any Conveyance it will be, solvent and it is not entering into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or consummating any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 shall survive (i) the

NAI-1513992871v2
Conveyance of the Transferred Assets to the Purchaser, (ii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser and the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) the termination of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF THE SELLER
Section 5.1Covenants of the Seller
. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, unless the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing:
(a)Deposit of Collections. The Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections (if any) it receives in respect of the Loan Assets (other than Excluded Amounts) to the Interest Collection Subaccount or the Principal Collection Subaccount by the close of business on the second Business Day following the date such Collections are received by the Seller.
(b)Books and Records. The Seller shall maintain proper books of record and account of the transactions contemplated hereby, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions contemplated hereunder.
(c)Accounting of Purchases. Other than for consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser; provided that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” whose sole member is the Seller and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(d)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 (other than the liens in favor of the Purchaser and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Transaction Documents, Permitted Liens and any lien that will be released prior to or contemporaneously with the applicable Conveyance). For the avoidance of
-13-
NAI-1513992871v2
doubt, this Section 5.1(d) shall not apply to any property retained by the Seller and not Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder.
(e)Change of Name. Etc. The Seller shall not change its name, or name under which it does business, in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller or Purchaser pursuant hereto (or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Seller or Purchaser) 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 and, in the case of a change in jurisdiction, new financing statements. The Seller shall do or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, its material rights and its material privileges, obligations, licenses and franchises for so long as any Participations remain outstanding pursuant to Section 2.4.
(f)Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for consolidated 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 Assets Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder; provided that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” whose sole member is the Seller and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, further that the Seller may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP if any consolidated financial statements of the Seller contain footnotes that the Transferred Assets have been sold or contributed to the Purchaser.
(g)Expenses. The Seller shall pay its operating expenses and liabilities from its own assets.
(h)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 of any Loan Asset into the Interest Collection Subaccount or the Principal Collection Subaccount.
