TRANSFER OF 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI CERTIFICATE
     Section 2.01 Transfer of 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Certificate. In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Depositor of the Notes and the Trust Certificate, the Depositor hereby absolutely sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as of the date set forth above, all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Assets”):
     (i) the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid or to become due and paid or payable thereon or in respect thereof after the Cutoff Date;
     (ii) all of the Depositor’s rights and benefits as holder of the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;
     (iii) the right to realize upon any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI represented by the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Certificate, as granted in the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Supplement and in the 200[ ]-[ ] SUBI Certificate;
     (iv) all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, securities accounts, investment property, financial assets, goods, letters of credit, letters of credit rights, advices of credit and uncertificated securities, and other property consisting of, arising from, or relating or credited to the foregoing;

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note, or change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest in any Note, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, without the consent of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the Outstanding Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority Interest of the Notes which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.
     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Depositor without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect); it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and the Officer’s Certificate described in Section 3.01(b)(i)(B) is delivered to the Indenture Trustee.
     (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.
     (e) Not less than [15] days prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide each Rating Agency, the Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with written notice of the substance of such amendment.

If one or more of the covenants, agreements, or provisions of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatever held invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, and provisions of this Agreement, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such remaining covenants, agreements and provisions, or the rights of any parties hereto. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.
     Section 3.04 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
