CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Conveys to the Purchaser without recourse, and the Purchaser accepts such Conveyance, on the date hereof, 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 on Schedule A as of the date hereof and the Related Property, together with all proceeds of the foregoing, but excluding the Retained Interest (if any) for such Loan Asset.

(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 of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser providing Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets, including the entire beneficial and equitable interest in all proceeds of such Transferred Assets and the right to receive such proceeds, providing the Purchaser with the full ownership interest in such Transferred Assets. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Transferred Assets. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to account for, replace, substitute or return any Transferred Assets to the Seller. The Purchaser shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, subdivide or otherwise deal with the Transferred Assets and all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement, on whatever terms the Purchaser shall determine, pursuant to and subject to any restrictions in the Indenture or otherwise. 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, to protect the Purchaser’s rights in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties expressed herein, the Conveyances hereunder are characterized as secured financings and not as sales, (i) 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, (ii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law for purposes of such secured financing and (iii) each of the Seller and the Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of collections by the Seller to the Purchaser under this Agreement will be, with respect to such secured financing, (A) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser

-4-

and (B) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser. If the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as secured financings and not as sales, the Purchaser and its assignees (including the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) 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 (including the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties) hereunder 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 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 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 necessary or as requested by the Purchaser and mark its records noting the Conveyance to the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets. 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.

-5-

(f) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to the time of Conveyance of any Loan Assets 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).

(h) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants that there are no other agreements related to the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets other than this Agreement and any related assignment agreements and that this Agreement (along with any related assignment agreements) represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions subject of and contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.3 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.4 Actions 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), 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 of the related Loan Asset from the Seller to the Purchaser; 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, and, with respect to any Loan Asset represented by a promissory note, the Seller acknowledges that it holds such promissory note solely on behalf of and for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee as a result of the Purchaser’s grant of a security interest in its interest in such Loan Asset pursuant to the Indenture.

-6-

(b) Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, cause the Purchaser 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, to the extent feasible under applicable law, 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).

SECTION 2.5 Indemnification.

(a) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) or any of 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 the fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller with respect to this Agreement; 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 fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (ii) the uncollectability of any Loan Asset due to an Obligor’s failure to pay any amounts due under the applicable loan agreement in accordance with its terms.

(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.

SECTION 2.6 Assignment of Rights and Indemnities. The Seller acknowledges that, pursuant to the Indenture, 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 Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon such assignment, (a) the Collateral Trustee,

-7-

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 Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Seller agrees that, upon such assignment, the Collateral Trustee, 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.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for each Loan Asset Conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser shall be a dollar amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Loan Asset Conveyed as of such date, which the Seller and the Purchaser agree is the current fair market value as of such Conveyance Date.

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, along with any fees from origination of the applicable Loan Asset, for the Transferred Assets Conveyed from the Seller to the Purchaser shall be paid in cash in immediately available funds.

(b) Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance of the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not (i) violate (1) any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to it, (2) any of its organizational documents or (3) any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on it or its properties (except where the violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser); (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any of its contractual obligations (except where the violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser); (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties or assets (other than any Liens created under the Indenture in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties); or (iv) require any approval of its stockholders, members or partners or any approval or consent of any other Person.

-8-

(c) Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any governmental authority, except for filings and recordings with respect to the Assets to be made, or otherwise delivered to the Collateral Trustee for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date.

(d) No Adverse Proceeding; Title. There is no litigation, adverse proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Seller, before any governmental authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser. The Seller is not (A) in violation of any applicable laws that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or (B) subject to or in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser.

(e) Good and Marketable Title. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Assets and free and clear of any lien (other than the liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture 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 any financing statements in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture, Permitted Liens or any lien that will be released prior to or contemporaneously with the 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, then:

(i) this Agreement creates a valid and continuing lien and security interest on the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Collateral Trustee, 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 interests in 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;

-9-

(iii) the Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any Loan Asset to the sale and granting of a security interest in the Loan Assets hereunder to the Purchaser and the Collateral Trustee, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or authorize the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in Delaware;

(iv) none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Loan Assets has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Trustee, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; and

(v) with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a “certificated security,” such certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral Trustee, or will be delivered to the Collateral Trustee and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed to the Collateral Trustee or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Collateral Trustee upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such certificated security, in each case, promptly upon receipt; provided that any file-stamped document, promissory note and certificates relating to any Loan Asset shall be delivered as soon as they are reasonably available; and in the case of an uncertificated security, by (A) causing the Collateral Trustee to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.

(g) Fair Consideration; No Avoidance for Loan Asset Payments. With respect to each Transferred Asset sold hereunder, the Seller sold 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, fair market value, 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 consummating any transaction contemplated hereby with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

(i) True Sale. Each Transferred Asset sold hereunder shall have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser in a “true sale” (or in the case of a Participation, a “true participation”) and “absolute transfer”, free and clear of any Lien (except for Permitted Liens).

(j) Notice to Agents and Obligors. The Seller will direct any agent, administrative agent or obligor for any Loan Asset included in the Transferred Assets to remit all payments and collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the relevant Collection Account.

-10-

(k) Proceeds. The Seller acknowledges that all collections received by it or its Affiliates with respect to the Transferred Assets (other than Excluded Amounts) (the “Proceeds”) Conveyed to the Purchaser are held and shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and its assignees until deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount or the Principal Collection Subaccount. The Seller shall promptly remit to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee any payment or any other sums relating to, or otherwise payable on account of, the Transferred Assets (other than Excluded Amounts) that the Seller receives after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS OF THE SELLER

SECTION 5.1 Covenants 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 Collateral Trustee promptly 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 of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser; in each case consistent with GAAP; provided that solely for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” of the sole owner of the Seller and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized.

(d) Liens. The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights in the Transferred Assets (other than the liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture, Permitted Liens and any lien that will be released prior to or contemporaneously with the applicable Conveyance). For the avoidance of 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 Collateral Trustee 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.

-11-

(f) Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for consolidated accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, true participation or other absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Assets Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder (or, in the case of each Transferred Assets conveyed via Participation, of a beneficial ownership interest therein); provided 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 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.
