(a)            In consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller on the Closing Date of $326,929,072.08 and a Certificate representing a Certificate Percentage Interest equal to ###-###-####%, representing a total purchase price of $373,479,269.00 (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Depositor, without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller herein) all right, title, and interest of the Seller in and to the following assets and property whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising:

(i)                  the Receivables and all moneys received thereon after the close of business on November 30, 2017;

(b)            For all non-tax purposes, the Seller and the Depositor intend that the transfer of assets by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement be a sale of the ownership interest in such assets to the Depositor, rather than the mere granting of a security interest to secure a borrowing.  In the event, however, that such transfer is deemed not to be a sale but to be a grant of a mere security interest to secure a borrowing, the Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted, and does hereby grant, to the Depositor a first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Conveyed Assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and all accounts, money, chattel paper, securities,

instruments, documents, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, letters of credit, advices of credit, banker’s acceptances, uncertificated securities, general intangibles, contract rights, goods and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to such Conveyed Assets, which security interest shall be perfected, to secure a debt in the amount equal to the Purchase Price (less payments of principal previously received in respect of the Receivables) plus interest at a rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates payable on the Receivables.  Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 6.04 hereof, the Depositor may sell, transfer and assign to the Issuer (i) all or any portion of the assets assigned to the Depositor hereunder, (ii) all or any portion of the Depositor’s rights against the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) all proceeds thereof.  Such assignment may be made by the Depositor with or without an assignment by the Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without further notice to or acknowledgement from the Seller.  The Seller waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, all claims, causes of action and remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor relating to such action by the Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  Because (i) the Depositor intends to convey all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Issuer intends to pledge all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, (iii) the Seller intends that the transfer of Receivables pursuant to this Agreement be a sale of the ownership interest in such Receivables to the Depositor, and (iv) the parties intend that the Indenture Trustee have a direct security interest in the Receivables, if the transfer of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement is deemed to be a grant of a security interest to secure a borrowing, the foregoing grant by the Seller of a security interest in the Receivables to secure a debt in the amount of the debt described above shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants, a direct security interest in the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders to secure the debt described above.

SECTION 2.02  The Closing.  The sale and purchase of the Receivables shall take place at a closing at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 101 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10178 on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the closing under (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Indenture, (c) the BMW FS Receivables Purchase Agreement and (d) the Trust Agreement.

          In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Depositor as follows on the Closing Date:

1.            This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Depositor, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

3.            The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “electronic chattel paper” and “tangible chattel paper”) within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.            The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Depositor hereunder.

5.            With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Seller.  With respect to Receivables that constitute electronic chattel paper, the Servicer has “control” of such electronic chattel paper within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is maintaining control of such electronic chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Seller.  No person other than the Servicer has “control” of any Receivable that is evidenced by electronic chattel paper.

6.            The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession (i) the original copy of each Receivable that constitutes tangible chattel paper and (ii) the “authoritative copy” of each Receivable that constitutes electronic chattel paper.  With respect to any Receivable constituting electronic chattel paper, there is only one “authoritative copy” of the Receivable and with respect to any Receivable constituting tangible chattel paper, there is no more than one original executed copy of such Receivable.

7.            Neither the Seller nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer.

8.            The Seller has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to the Depositor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or (iv) that has been terminated.  The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.

9.            The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession or “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC) the record or records that constitute or evidence the Receivables.  The tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller, the Depositor and the Issuer in connection with this Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture, respectively, contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

10.            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule III shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Basic Documents and the Notes have been finally and fully paid and performed.

11.            The parties to this Agreement shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any material breach of the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule III, and shall not, without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Rating Agency, waive a breach of any of such perfection representations, warranties or covenants.
