TRANSFER OF 2015-B SUBI CERTIFICATE

Section 2.01 Transfer of 2015-B 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 2015-B SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2015-B 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 2015-B 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 2015-B SUBI represented by the 2015-B SUBI Certificate, as granted in the 2015-B SUBI Supplement and in the 2015-B SUBI Certificate;

To the extent that the conveyance of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as a financing (i), it is intended by the Depositor and the Transferee that the interest conveyed constitutes a grant of a security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware by the Depositor to the Transferee to secure the obligations of the Depositor hereunder, which security interest shall be perfected and of a first priority, (ii) the Depositor hereby grants to the Transferee a security interest in all of its right, title, and privilege and interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable laws, and (iii) the possession by the Transferee or its agent of the 2015-B SUBI Certificate shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a Person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction.
