PURCHASE

SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Sell, Transfer, Contribute and Assign on the Closing Date. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, BANA does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, contribute and assign and otherwise convey to the First Tier Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property and as evidenced by an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Assignment”) delivered on the Closing Date (collectively, the “First Tier Purchased Assets”):

(i) all right, title and interest of BANA in, to and under the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and all monies received thereon after the Cut-Off Date;

(ii) the interest of BANA in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to such Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any accessions thereto;

(iii) the interest of BANA in any proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life, credit disability, warranties, debt cancellation agreements or other insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors;

(iv) the interest of BANA in any proceeds from recourse against Dealers on Receivables acquired from Dealers;

(v) all of BANA’s rights to the Receivable Files; and

(vi) the interest of BANA in any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

The sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the First Tier Purchaser of any obligation of BANA or any Originator to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. Notwithstanding the other terms of this Agreement, BANA and the First Tier Purchaser hereby acknowledge that BANA expressly retains all, and has not transferred hereunder any, of its rights to obtain refunds or claim credits or deductions relating to state and local sales or use, gross receipts, transaction privilege, value added, business and occupation and other similar taxes attributable to accounts charged off by the First Tier Purchaser or its affiliates, subsidiaries, assignees or transferees.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of BANA. BANA makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the First Tier Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the First Tier Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties will survive the conveyance of the First Tier Purchased Assets to the First Tier Purchaser, the conveyance of the First Tier Purchased Assets to the Second Tier Purchaser pursuant to the Second Purchase Agreement, the conveyance of the First Tier Purchased Assets to the Depositor pursuant to the Third Purchase Agreement and the conveyance of the First Tier Purchased Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

(a) Existence and Power. BANA is a national banking association validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and has, in all material respects, all power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted; and as of the date hereof, BANA is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. BANA has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of BANA to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of a material portion of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or any other part of the First Tier Purchased Assets.

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by BANA of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of BANA and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which BANA is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indentures or agreements 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 BANA’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 BANA 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 Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or any other part of the First Tier Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of BANA to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 

    -3-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which BANA is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of BANA enforceable against BANA 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 the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of BANA, threatened against BANA 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 BANA of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relating to BANA that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes.

(f) Lien Filings. BANA is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against BANA.

SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of BANA regarding the Receivables. BANA makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I with respect to the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables, on which the First Tier Purchaser relies in purchasing such Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables by BANA to the First Tier Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables by the First Tier Purchaser to the Second Tier Purchaser pursuant to the Second Purchase Agreement, the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables by the Second Tier Purchaser to the Depositor pursuant to the Third Purchase Agreement, the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, BANA shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor.

SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the First Tier Purchaser or BANA of a breach of any of the representations and warranties described in Section 3.2 with respect to any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party hereto; provided, that delivery of the Monthly Servicer Report, which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased, shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice of such breach; provided, further, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of BANA hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, then BANA shall either (i) correct or cure such breach or (ii)

 

    -4-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


purchase (or cause to be purchased) such Receivable from the holder thereof, in either case on or before the last day of the second Collection Period (or, at the option of BANA, the last day of the first Collection Period) following the date BANA became aware of or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed to not have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the First Tier Purchaser (or its assignee) to collect, receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable, including Liquidation Proceeds. Any such purchase by BANA shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, BANA shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the First Tier Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing (or causing to be deposited) such amount into the Collection Account on the Business Day prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date of such repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by BANA, the First Tier Purchaser shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by BANA to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in BANA or its designee any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables and related First Tier Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.3. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause BANA to repurchase any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the First Tier Purchaser.

SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.

(a) BANA shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other 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 First Tier Purchaser under this Agreement in the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and the other First Tier Purchased Assets. BANA shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the First Tier Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(b) BANA shall notify the First Tier Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days following the occurrence of (i) any change in BANA’s organizational structure as a corporation, (ii) any change in BANA’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in BANA’s name, and shall have taken 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 or advisable in the opinion of the First Tier Purchaser to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above. BANA will at all times maintain its “location” within the United States.

(c) BANA shall maintain (or shall cause the Servicer to maintain) its computer systems so that, on and after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables on the Closing Date, the master computer records (including any backup archives, it being understood that any such backup archives may not reflect such interest until thirty-five (35) days after the applicable changes are made to such master computer records) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the First Tier Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the First Tier Purchaser) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such Person.

 

    -5-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


(d) If at any time BANA shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, BANA shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, Records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the First Tier Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the First Tier Purchaser).

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, BANA shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or other property transferred to the First Tier Purchaser to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and BANA shall defend the right, title and interest of the First Tier Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to the First Tier Purchaser against all claims of third parties claiming through or under BANA.

SECTION 3.6 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. BANA hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached hereto as Schedule II to the First Tier Purchaser, and the First Tier Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the First Tier Purchased Assets.

SECTION 3.7 Official Record. So long as the Notes remain outstanding, this Agreement shall be treated as an official record of BANA within the meaning of Section 13(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1823(e)).

SECTION 3.8 Activities of the Depositor. BANA shall act in a manner materially consistent with the limitations on the Depositor’s activities set forth in Section 11(j)(iv) of the Depositor LLC Agreement in order to enable the Depositor to comply with the Depositor LLC Agreement.

SECTION 3.9 Compliance with the FDIC Rule. BANA agrees (i) to perform the covenants set forth in Article XII of the Indenture applicable to it and (ii) to facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the Bank of America Parties.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; 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 and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables listed on the

 

    -6-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


Schedule of Receivables and related First Tier Purchased Assets shall not be treated as property of BANA by the FDIC or other governmental authority acting as conservator or receiver of BANA in a conservatorship, receivership, insolvency or other similar Proceeding in respect of BANA under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1811 et seq. or other applicable law. The sales and transfers by BANA of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and related First Tier Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, BANA, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against BANA 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 the Receivables.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and other First Tier Purchased Assets are held to be property of BANA, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in such Receivables and other First Tier 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 by BANA of, and BANA hereby grants to the First Tier Purchaser, 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 Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and other First Tier Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of BANA hereunder;

(iii) The possession by the First Tier Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files related to the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper 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 First Tier Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

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 facsimile or electronic mail, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule I to the Sale Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated 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

 

    -7-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


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 and, with respect to delivery via electronic mail, upon confirmation from the recipient that such notice has been received; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time 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 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT EXCLUDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ALL OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

SECTION 4.4 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by way of electronic or facsimile transmission), 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.

SECTION 4.6 Amendment.

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by BANA and the First Tier Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Second Tier Purchaser or any other Person subject to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 4.6; provided that (i) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of BANA or the First Tier Purchaser or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment; provided further, that in the case of any amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6(a), such amendment shall not, for United States federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes or (iii) cause the Issuer (or any part thereof) to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a grantor trust of the type described in Treasury Regulation section ###-###-####-4(c).

(b) Subject to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 4.6, this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by BANA and the First Tier Purchaser, with the consent of (i) the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class and (ii) the Majority Certificateholders, 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 or the Certificateholders; provided,

 

    -8-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding or the Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all the Noteholders and Certificateholders affected thereby; and provided further, that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment (A) will not materially adversely affect the United States federal income taxation of any outstanding Note or Certificate and (B) for United States federal income tax purposes, will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, or cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a grantor trust of the type described in Treasury Regulation section ###-###-####-4(c). 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 and Certificateholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment to this Agreement, BANA shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Issuer; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, BANA shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

(d) 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. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may not be amended in any way that would materially and adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s, Indenture Trustee’s, or the Administrator’s rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of such party.

(e) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.6, this Agreement may only be amended by BANA and the First Tier Purchaser if (i) the Majority Certificateholders or all Certificateholders, as the case may be, consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of BANA or the First Tier Purchaser or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. It will not be necessary to obtain the consent of the Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

 

    -9-       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the First Tier Purchaser, BANA, 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 First Tier Purchaser or BANA in either case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

There are no unwritten agreements among the parties.

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. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree.

(i) Characteristics of Receivables. Each Receivable as of the Cut-Off Date:

(A) is secured by a Financed Vehicle and was originated in the United States (1) by a Dealer located in the United States for the retail sale of a Financed Vehicle in the ordinary course of such Dealer’s business, was fully and properly executed or electronically authenticated (as defined in the UCC) by the parties thereto, was purchased by BANA, from such Dealer under an existing agreement between Dealer and BANA and was validly assigned by such Dealer to BANA, in accordance with its terms or (2) by BANA in the ordinary course of BANA’s business and was fully and properly executed or electronically authenticated (as defined in the UCC) by the parties thereto;

(K) the related Obligor had a FICO score of not less than 620 at the time of the origination of such Receivable.

(ii) Creation, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests.

(A) While it is the intention of BANA and the First Tier Purchaser that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the related First Tier Purchased Assets from BANA to the First Tier Purchaser, this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in each Receivable and the related Purchased Assets in favor of the First Tier Purchaser, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from BANA.

(B) The Receivables constitute either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper”, each within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iii) Schedule of Receivables. The information set forth in the Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all material respects, and no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the First Tier Purchaser or its assignees were utilized in selecting such Receivables.

(iv) Compliance With Law. All requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Regulations “B” and “Z”, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003, the Texas Consumer Credit Code, and state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws, in respect of any of the Receivables and other First Tier Purchased Assets, have been complied with in all material respects, and each Receivable and the sale of the related Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made.

(v) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(vi) Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. BANA has a validly perfected first priority security interest in each Receivable, and immediately prior to the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance thereof pursuant hereto, each Receivable was secured by a validly

 

    I-2       First Purchase Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)


perfected first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of BANA as secured party or all necessary and appropriate action had been commenced that would result in the valid perfection of a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of BANA as secured party.

(vii) Receivables In Force. As of the Cut-Off Date, no such Receivable has been satisfied, subordinated or rescinded, and the Financed Vehicle securing each such Receivable has not been released from the lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part.

(x) No Liens. To the best of BANA’s knowledge: (1) there are no liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Financed Vehicle securing any such Receivable that are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle granted by such Receivable; (2) no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA with respect to any such Receivable; and (3) no tax lien has been filed and no claim related thereto is being asserted with respect to any such Receivable.

(xi) Insurance. Each Obligor under such Receivables is required to maintain a physical damage insurance policy of the type that BANA or its Affiliates requires in accordance with their customary underwriting standards for the purchase or origination of automotive receivables.

(xii) Good Title. No such Receivable or the related First Tier Purchased Assets, as applicable, has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by BANA to any Person other than the First Tier Purchaser; immediately prior to the conveyance of such Receivables and the related First Tier Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, BANA had good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the First Tier Purchaser shall have all of the right, title and interest of BANA to such Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free of any Lien.

(xiii) Lawful Assignment. No such Receivable was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable under this Agreement.

(xiv) All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the First Tier Purchaser a first priority perfected ownership interest in the Receivables shall have been made.

With respect to each Receivable originated by a Dealer and purchased by BANA from such Dealer, there is only one executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of such Receivable. With respect to each Receivable originated by BANA, if an executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of such Receivable exists, then such executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of such Receivable is in the possession of BANA, as Custodian (or through a sub-contractor or subservicer as permitted by the Servicing Agreement).

(xvi) Electronic Chattel Paper. As of the Cut-Off Date, such Receivable did not cause the aggregate Amount Financed of all Receivables that constitute “electronic chattel paper” (as defined in the UCC) to exceed 5.00% of the Initial Pool Balance.

(xvii) Prepayments. Each Receivable requires the Obligor thereunder to pay, upon any prepayment of such Receivable, an amount that is not less than the Amount Financed of such Receivable plus interest accrued at the applicable Annual Percentage Rate to the date of the prepayment.

(xviii) No Government Obligor. The Obligor on each Receivable is not the United States or any state thereof or any local government, or any agency, department, political subdivision or instrumentality of the United States or any state thereof or any local government.

(xix) No Undocumented Extensions or Modifications. No extension or modification has been made with respect to any Receivable other than as evidenced in the Receivable File relating thereto.

(xx) No Fraud or Misrepresentation. Each Receivable was originated by the applicable Originator and was sold by BANA to the First Tier Purchaser without any fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the applicable Originator or BANA.

(xxi) Force-Placed Insurance. No Receivable is subject to a force-placed Insurance Policy on the related Financed Vehicle.

(xxii) No Documents or Instruments. No such Receivable or constituent part thereof, constitutes a “negotiable instrument” or “negotiable document of title” (as such terms are used in the UCC).
