     WHEREAS, the Seller is willing to sell such portfolio of motor vehicle receivables and related property to the Issuer;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS
     SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Issuer’s sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the Notes and the Residual Interest on the Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Transferred Assets, identified in an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller, BANA, CARI or any Originator to the Obligors or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
     SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller regarding the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties with respect to the Receivables, on which the Issuer relies in purchasing the Receivables and pledging the same to the Indenture Trustee. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
     (i) Schedule of Receivables. No selection procedures adverse to the Noteholders have been used by the Seller in selecting the Receivables from all receivables owned by the Seller which were acquired from BANA pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
     (ii) No Sale or Transfer. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer.
     (iii) Good Title. Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller had good and marketable title thereto, free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the Issuer shall have all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables, the unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security therefor, free of any Lien.
     (iv) Delinquencies. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Receivable has any payment more than 30 days past due, that is, the payments due on that Receivable in excess of $25.00 have been received within 30 days of the scheduled payment date, except that up to 0.96% and 0.12% of the aggregate Amount Financed may consist of Receivables between 31 and 60 days past due and 61 to 90 days past due, respectively.

     SECTION 2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. (a) Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 with respect to any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, 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 Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then the Seller shall either (i) correct or cure such breach or (ii) purchase such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on or before the last day of the second Collection Period following the date the Seller became aware of or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account on the date of such repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer 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 the Seller to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in the Seller or its designee all of the Issuer’s rights in any Receivable and related Transferred Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to repurchase (or to enforce the obligations of BANA under the Purchase Agreement, CARI under the CARI Purchase Agreement or GMAC under the GMAC Sale Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.3.
     (b) In addition to the foregoing repurchase obligations, if the interest of the Issuer in any Receivable is materially and adversely affected by a breach by CARI of a representation or warranty relating to such Receivable in the CARI Purchase Agreement, or a breach by GMAC of a representation or warranty relating to such Receivable in the GMAC Sale Agreement, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer but only if CARI or GMAC, as applicable, shall in fact repurchase such Receivable. The Seller shall promptly remit (or shall cause BANA to remit) into the Collection Account the purchase price paid by CARI with respect to such Receivable.
ARTICLE III
THE SELLER
     SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

Transferred Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
     (a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets. The Seller 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 to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets.
     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller and do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any indenture or agreement or instrument to which the Seller 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 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 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) approval, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Transferred Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller 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 limited liability companies 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, orders, 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
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

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 Receivables or have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, 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.
     (g) Trade Name. “BAS Securitization LLC” is the only trade name under which the Seller is currently operating its business. For the six (6) years (or such shorter period of time during which the Seller was in existence) preceding the date hereof, the Seller operated its business under the trade name “BAS Securitization LLC”. “BAS Securitization LLC” is the name of the Seller indicated on the public record of the Seller’s jurisdiction of organization which shows the Seller to have been organized.
     (h) Investment Company Act. The Seller is not an “investment company” that is registered or required to be registered under, or otherwise subject to the restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
     SECTION 3.2 Liability of the Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following:
     (a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Residual Interestholder from and against any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation of federal or State securities laws in connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes.
     (b) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.
     (c) Indemnification under this Section 3.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest.
     (d) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2 are obligations solely of the Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 3.2(d) and the terms of this Section 3.2(d) may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 3.2(d) will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Agreement.
     SECTION 3.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller, or (iv) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by BAC, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the foregoing transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 3.3 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (y) the Seller will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The Seller will provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation, or succession pursuant to this Section 3.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 3.3 will be conditions to the consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.3 in which the Seller is not the surviving entity.
     SECTION 3.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

     SECTION 3.5 Seller May Own Notes and/or Residual Interest. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes and/or the Residual Interest with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes and the Residual Interest so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes and the Residual Interest. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.
     SECTION 3.6 Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements and 1934 Act Filings. (a) (i) To the extent any documents are required to be filed with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign and file any such documents or any certifications on behalf of the Issuer and (ii) to the extent any certification is required to be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Seller certify any such documents on behalf of the Issuer.
     (b) (i) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign and file any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and (ii) the Issuer hereby authorizes the Seller to certify any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
     SECTION 3.7 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall comply with its limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents.
     SECTION 3.8 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Seller hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Issuer and the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Transferred Assets.

     SECTION 4.1 Amendment.
     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or the
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

Owner Trustee; provided, further, that any amendment entered into pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall not significantly change the permitted activities of the Issuer.
     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable the Seller or any of its Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle; provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee; provided, further, that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Standard & Poor’s shall have been satisfied; provided, further, that any amendment entered into pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not significantly change the permitted activities of the Issuer.
     (c) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by the Seller with prior notice to each Rating Agency and with the consent of the Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement. 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.
     Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, no amendment to this Agreement may significantly change the permitted activities of the Issuer without the consent of the majority of all Outstanding Noteholders.
     (d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller shall provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Seller shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee.
     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller, 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 adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee.
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

     SECTION 4.2 Protection of Title.
     (a) The Seller 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 Issuer and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement in the Receivables. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.
     (b) The Seller shall not change its name, identity, organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller in accordance with paragraph (a) above “seriously misleading” within the meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice thereof and, to the extent necessary, has promptly filed amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above or filed new financing statements, as applicable.
     (c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written notice of any change of location of the Seller for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC 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 to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above or to file new financing statements, as applicable.
     SECTION 4.3 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 Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.
     SECTION 4.4 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 and related Transferred Assets shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of Receivables and related Transferred Assets 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 the Receivables.
         
        Sale Agreement (2006-G1)

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Transferred Assets (or interests therein) are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Transferred 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 the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer of 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 and other Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;
 
  (iii)   The possession by the Issuer, or the Master Servicer or the Receivables Servicer as the Issuer’s agent, of the Receivable Files 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
