Concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, the Issuer shall deliver to, or to the order of, the Seller the Notes and the Certificate.

(i) all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables and all monies due thereon or paid thereunder or in respect thereof (including proceeds of the repurchase of Receivables by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 or the purchase of Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 or 9.01) after the Cutoff Date;

(vii) all proceeds of the foregoing; and
(viii) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion thereof, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).
(c) It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Collateral from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The Seller agrees to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and to perfect such sale under the UCC.
(d) Although the parties hereto intend that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement be a sale, in the event such transfer and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Receivables, and other Collateral conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC.
(e) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Servicer’s electronic files which are maintained for the purpose of identifying retail installment sales contracts which have been transferred in connection with securitizations will show the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that the Receivable is owned and controlled by the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer’s ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Ownership and control of the Receivables, as between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) shall be governed by the Indenture.
Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).

After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
(b) The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan. If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then: (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by WFCMSI to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that the security interest created under this paragraph is a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(c) In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer and other than the originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or
(ii) the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof). In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan). For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
(d) Pursuant to Section 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, after the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Custodian, the Custodian is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each such assignment will reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement will reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Custodian following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian will be required to obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original. If any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, pursuant to any direction received from the Custodian in connection therewith. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
(e) In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the Purchaser and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any such Mortgage Loan, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC Financial File and CREFC Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(f) Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to refl
