ARTICLE II TRANSFER OF LOAN ASSETS Section 2.01 Transfer of Loan Assets. ------------------------ (a) The Originator shall sell, assign and convey assets to the Trust Depositor pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof. (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trust Depositor, for a purchase price consisting of $262,637,072.84 in cash, all the right, title and interest of the Originator in and to (the Originator's interest in items (i)-(vi) below, being collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Assets" but in each case shall exclude any Retained Interest): ----------- (i) the Initial Loans, all payments paid in respect thereof and all monies due, to become due or paid in respect thereof accruing on and after the Initial Cutoff Date and all Liquidation Proceeds and recoveries thereon, in each case as they arise after the Initial Cutoff Date, but not including the Retained Interest or Interest Collections received prior to December 1, 2001; (ii) all security interests and liens and Collateral subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment by Obligors under such Loans; (iii) all guaranties, indemnities and warranties, and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Loans; 3 (iv) all collections and records (including computer records) with respect to the foregoing; (v) all documents relating to the Loan Files; and (vi) all income, payments, proceeds and other benefits of any and all of the foregoing. To the extent the purchase price paid to the Originator for any Loan is less than the fair market value of such Loan, the difference between such fair market value and the purchase price shall be deemed to be a capital contribution made by the Originator to the Trust Depositor on the relevant Transfer Date. (c) The Originator and the Trust Depositor acknowledge that the representations and warranties of the Originator in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, ------------- ---- ---- 3.04 and 3.05 will run to and be for the benefit of the Trust and the Trustees - ---- ---- and the Trust and the Trustees may enforce, directly without joinder of the Trust Depositor, the repurchase obligations of the Originator with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties as set forth herein and in Section 6.01. - ------------- (d) The sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance of the Loan Assets by the Originator to the Trust Depositor pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Trust Depositor or the Trust of any obligation of the Originator in connection with the Loan Assets, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, (i) any obligation to any Obligor, if any, not financed by the Originator, (ii) any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority or (iii) any insurance premiums that remain owing with respect to any Loan at the time such Loan is sold hereunder. (e) The Originator and the Trust Depositor intend and agree that (i) the transfer of the Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor and the transfer of the Loan Assets to the Trust are intended to be a sale, conveyance and transfer of ownership of the Loan Assets, as the case may be, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing and (ii) such Loan Assets shall not be part of the Originator's or the Trust Depositor's estate in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy petition or other action by or against such Person under any Insolvency Law. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent and agreement, such transfers are deemed to be of a mere security interest to secure indebtedness, the Originator shall be deemed to have granted the Trust Depositor and the Trust Depositor shall be deemed to have granted the Trust, as the case may be, a perfected first priority security interest in such Loan Assets respectively and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Requirements of Law, securing the repayment of the purchase price paid hereunder and the obligations and/or interests represented by the Securities, in the order and priorities, and subject to the other terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, together with such other obligations or interests as may arise hereunder and thereunder in favor of the parties hereto and thereto. 4 (f) If any such transfer of the Loan Assets is deemed to be the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the Trust Depositor may, to secure the Trust Depositor's own borrowing under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (to the extent that the transfer of the Loan Assets thereunder is deemed to be a mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing), repledge and reassign (i) all or a portion of the Loan Assets pledged to the Trust Depositor by the Originator and with respect to which the Trust Depositor has not released its security interest at the time of such pledge and assignment, and (ii) all proceeds thereof. Such repledge and reassignment may be made by the Trust Depositor with or without a repledge and reassignment by the Trust Depositor of its rights under any agreement with the Originator, and without further notice to or acknowledgment from the Originator. The Originator waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Trust Depositor or any assignee of the Trust Depositor relating to such action by the Trust Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Section 2.02 Conditions to Transfer of Loan Assets to the Trust Depositor. ------------------------------------------------------------- On or before the Closing Date, the Originator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee each of the documents, certificates and other items as follows: (i) a certificate of an officer of the Originator substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; --------- (ii) copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Originator and the Servicer or of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Originator and the Servicer approving the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereunder, certified in each case by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Originator and the Servicer; (iii) officially certified recent evidence of due incorporation and good standing of the Originator under the laws of the State of Delaware; (iv) the initial List of Loans, certified by an officer of the Originator, together with an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (along with the delivery of any instruments and Loan Documents as --------- required under Section 2.06); ------------ (v) a letter from Ernst & Young LLP or another nationally recognized accounting firm, addressed to the Originator and the Trust Depositor, stating that such firm has reviewed a sample of the Initial Loans and performed specific procedures for such sample with respect to certain loan terms and that identifies those Initial Loans that do not conform; (vi) [Reserved]; 5 (vii) evidence of proper filing with appropriate offices in the State of Delaware of UCC financing statements executed by the Originator, as debtor, naming the Trust Depositor as secured party (and the Indenture Trustee as assignee) and identifying the Loan Assets as collateral; (viii) an Officer's Certificate listing the Servicer's Servicing Officers; (ix) evidence of deposit in the Principal and Interest Account of all funds received with respect to the Initial Loans on and after the Initial Cutoff Date to the date two (2) days preceding the Closing Date, together with an Officer's Certificate from the Servicer to the effect that such amount is correct; and (x) a fully executed copy of each of the Transaction Documents.

The Trust Depositor acknowledges that such representations and warranties are being made by the Originator for the benefit of the Trust, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. Such representations and warranties are given as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (or Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable), but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Loan Assets to the Trust. The repurchase obligation or substitution obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 6.01 constitutes the sole remedy ------------ available for a breach of a representation or warranty of the Originator set forth in 9 Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement. Except as - ------------- ---- ---- ---- ---- otherwise provided in subsection 2.04(c)(vii), the Originator shall not be ----------------------- deemed to be remaking any of the representations set forth in Section 3.03 on a ------------ Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the Substitute Loans, as such representations relate solely to the composition of the Initial Loans conveyed on the Closing Date. Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Originator. -------------------------------------------------------- By its execution of this Agreement and each Subsequent Purchase Agreement, the Originator represents and warrants that: (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Originator is a corporation duly ------------------------------ organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Originator is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Originator. (b) Authorization; Valid Sale; Binding Obligations. The Originator has the ---------------------------------------------- power and authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to create the Trust Depositor and cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to cause the Trust Depositor to be created. This Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, if any, shall effect a valid sale, transfer and assignment of or grant of a security interest in the Loan Assets from the Originator to the Trust Depositor, enforceable against the Originator and creditors of and purchasers from the Originator. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by applicable Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity, whether considered in a suit at law or in equity. (c) No Consent Required. The Originator is not required to obtain the ------------------- consent of any other party (other than those that it has already obtained) or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority (other than those that it has already obtained) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this ------------- Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Originator, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not violate any material Requirement 10 of Law applicable to the Originator, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Originator is a party or by which the Originator or any of the Originator's properties may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any security interest, lien, charge, pledge, preference, equity or encumbrance of any kind upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement, other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before ---------- any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Originator threatened, against the Originator or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the Securities (1) that, if adversely determined, would in the reasonable judgment of the Originator be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Originator or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party or (2) seeking to adversely affect the federal income tax or other federal, state or local tax attributes of the Certificate or Notes. (f) Solvency. The Originator, at the time of and after giving effect to --------- each conveyance of Loan Assets hereunder, is Solvent on and as of the date thereof. (g) Taxes. The Originator has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns ------ which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed and has put all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount of tax due, the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been provided on the books of the Originator); no tax lien has been filed and, to the Originator's knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. (h) Place of Business; No Changes. The Originator's location (within the ----------------------------- meaning of Article 9 of the UCC) is as set forth in Section 8.03. The Originator ------------ has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed its location within the four (4) months preceding the Closing Date.
