SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Sell and Contribute. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the date hereof, the Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, sets over, sells and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases from the Seller, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under Transaction SUBI Certificate, the Transaction SUBI and all Collections received thereunder after the close of business on the Cut-Off Date (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Buyer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the SUBI Transfer Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a limited partnership and the Origination Trust is a statutory trust, in each case, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, and each of the Seller and the Origination Trust has, in all material respects, all power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. Each of the Seller and the Origination Trust has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller or the Origination Trust, respectively, to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Transaction Units or any other part of the Purchased Assets.
| 2 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Seller and the Origination Trust of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership or statutory trust action and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents).
(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller or the Origination Trust of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Transaction Units or any other part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller or the Origination Trust to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller or the Origination Trust is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited partnerships from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.
(e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or enforceability of the Transaction Units, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes.
| 3 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
(g) Security Interests. The Seller has not authorized the filing of any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering any portion of the Purchased Assets other than any financing statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Purchased Assets hereunder, will be terminated, amended or released. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in the Purchased Assets (other than the Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) in favor of the Buyer which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller.
(h) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Assets, which are attached to this Agreement as Schedule II, are true and correct in all material respects to the extent that they are applicable.
SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of Seller regarding the Purchased Assets. On the date hereof, the Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to the Buyer as to each Unit. Such representations and warranties shall survive the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the SUBI Transfer Agreement, and the Grant of the Purchased Assets by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The Seller hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights assigned to the Issuer under the SUBI Transfer Agreement, including the right to cause the Seller to reallocate any Transaction Unit with respect to which it is in breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule I directly against the Seller as though the Issuer were a party to this Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Buyer. Any inaccuracy of any such representations or warranties will be deemed not to constitute a breach of such representation or warranty if such inaccuracy does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain payment in full on such Transaction Unit.
SECTION 3.3 Reallocation upon Breach. Upon discovery by or written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Buyer or the Seller of a breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.2 with respect to any Transaction Unit at the time such representation and warranty was made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Transaction Unit, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies that Transaction Units are being or have been reallocated shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Seller and the Buyer of such breach; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee will be deemed to have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Buyer, the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Transaction Unit, then the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) direct the Origination Trustee and the Servicer to reallocate the non-compliant Transaction Unit from the Transaction SUBI to the UTI (or an Other SUBI designated by the Seller), in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders if such breach or failure has not affected the ability of the Buyer (or its assignee) to receive and retain payment in full of the aggregate Securitization Value on such Transaction Unit. Any such reallocation by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the related Reallocation Amount. In consideration for such reallocation, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Buyer (or its assignee) equal to the Reallocation Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, New York City time, on such date of reallocation (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date). Upon payment of such Reallocation Amount by the Seller, the Buyer (or its assignee) shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer, reallocation or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by the Seller to evidence such release, transfer, reallocation or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to reallocate any Transaction Unit and pay the related Reallocation Amount as described above shall constitute the sole remedy with respect to such breach available to the Buyer (or its assignee).
| 4 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
The Seller acknowledges and agrees that any dispute regarding its obligation to reallocate a Transaction Unit under this Section 3.3 shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 7.6 of the Indenture, and the Seller agrees to participate in any mediation or arbitration initiated thereunder in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth therein.
SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.
(a) The Seller shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other financing statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Buyer under this Agreement in the Purchased Assets, to the extent that the interest of the Buyer therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement. Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Buyer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above.
(b) The Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing within ten (10) days following the occurrence of (i) any change in the Seller’s organizational structure as a limited partnership, (ii) any change in the Seller’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in the Seller’s name. The Seller shall take all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in clause (a) above.
SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Transaction SUBI or the Transaction SUBI Certificate to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Buyer (or any subsequent assignee of the Buyer) in, to and under the Transaction SUBI against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.
| 5 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sales; Security Interest.
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales, transfers, assignments, conveyances and contributions without recourse rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. The sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and contribution of the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale and contribution of assets by the Seller. The sales and contributions by the Seller of the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the beneficial interest in the Units allocated thereto hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectibility of underlying indebtedness.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the other Purchased Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the other Purchased Assets, then it is intended that:
(i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(ii) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the other Purchased Assets, to secure the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;
(iii) the possession by the Buyer or its agent of the Transaction 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; and
(iv) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Buyer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
| 6 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service or by electronic transmission and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule III hereto, or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time and in the manner prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.
SECTION 4.3 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL, SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
SECTION 4.4 Headings. The article and section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.5 Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including in counterparts executed via electronic signature, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.6 Amendment.
(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement (including Appendix A) may be amended by the Seller and the Buyer without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:
(i) the Seller or the Buyer delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders;
(ii) the Seller or the Buyer delivers an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or the Buyer, respectively, to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or
(iii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Seller or the Buyer notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment.
| 7 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
(b) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Buyer, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, that no amendment to this Agreement shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note or change or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, the consent of which is required to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least the percentage of the Note Balance which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.
(c) Any term or provision of this Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Buyer, for the purpose of conforming the terms of this Agreement to the description thereof in the Prospectus or, to the extent not contrary to the Prospectus, to the description thereof in an offering memorandum with respect to the Certificates, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person; provided, however, that the Seller and the Buyer shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Seller and the Buyer shall furnish a copy of such amendment to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee.
(d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Buyer shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Buyer shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of such person.
(f) Notwithstanding anything under this Section 4.6 of this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, this Agreement (including Appendix A) may be amended by the Seller and the Buyer without the consent of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person and without satisfying any other provision in this Section 4.6 or any other Transaction Document solely in connection with any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or, following the determination of a Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to be made by the Administrator; provided, that the Issuer has delivered notice of such amendment to the Rating Agencies on or prior to the date such amendment is executed; provided, further, that any such SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall not affect the Owner Trustee’s or Indenture Trustee’s rights, indemnities or obligations without the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee’s consent, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in any amendment to this Agreement may be retroactive (including retroactive to the Benchmark Replacement Date) and this Agreement may be amended more than once in connection with any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
| 8 | SUBI Sale Agreement PILOT 2026-1 |
SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Buyer or the Seller in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by either party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.

SECTION 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among the parties hereto.
SECTION 4.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.10 Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Buyer and the Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Seller may not assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Buyer, except as provided in Section 3.11 or as otherwise herein specifically provided.
