the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, or any such officer, director, employee or agent of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Servicer or the termination of this Agreement with respect to acts or omissions of such Servicer preceding such resignation or removal and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, each of which is duly documented.

SECTION 3.08.        Effective Period and Termination.  The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Cutoff Date and shall continue in full force and effect unless and until terminated pursuant to this Section.

As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after any such termination of appointment), the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s designee at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate; provided, however, that with respect to “authoritative copies” of the Receivables constituting electronic chattel paper, (a) if the Servicer’s appointment as custodian has been terminated in connection with the resignation or termination of the Servicer as servicer, the custodian shall transfer such “authoritative copies” to the successor Servicer or (b) otherwise, unless otherwise instructed by the Indenture Trustee, such “authoritative copies” shall be transferred to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s designee.  In each case, if necessary, an authorized representative of BMW FS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert an authoritative copy into tangible form by permanently removing such electronic authoritative copy from BMW FS’ electronic vaulting system and causing a contract in tangible form to be printed as the tangible authoritative copy that constitutes original tangible chattel paper for purposes of the UCC, and shall deliver such tangible authoritative copy to the successor Servicer or to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s designee at the place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate. Notwithstanding the termination of BMW FS as custodian, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer agree that, upon any such termination and for so long as BMW FS remains the Servicer hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall provide, or cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose of enabling the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the servicing of the Receivables.

SECTION 4.01.        Duties of Servicer.  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer shall service the Receivables in accordance with its customary and usual procedures. The Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, state or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the Collateral, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agents with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer also shall administer and enforce all rights of the holder of the Receivables under the Receivables and the Dealer Agreements. The Servicer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, prepare, execute and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the Trust pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise required hereby, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with the managing, servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount due under any Receivable, reduce the related APR or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from an Obligor. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.03 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle or self help as permitted by applicable law. If the Servicer commences or participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned the applicable Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Indenture Trustee’s or the Issuer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any revocable powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

SECTION 4.02.        Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables.

(a)            Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make all reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables in such a manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect thereto. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

(b)            The Servicer may grant payment deferments only to the extent permissible in its “Collection and Servicing Guidelines” as in effect from time to time; provided, that no such deferment shall extend the final payment date on any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date.

(c)            Upon any deferment not in accordance with this Section, the Servicer shall be required to purchase the related Receivable in accordance with Section 4.07.

SECTION 4.03.        Realization upon Receivables.  Consistent with its customary procedures, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely and with respect to which the Servicer determines that such repossession or other action is in the best interest of the Trust.

SECTION 4.04.        Physical Damage Insurance.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require each Obligor to obtain and maintain physical loss damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable.

SECTION 4.05.        Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.

(a)            The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of BMW FS as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer.

(b)            The Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer hereby agree that, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee may take

or cause to be taken such actions as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles in the name of the Issuer, including by amending the title documents of the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor.

SECTION 4.06.        Covenants of Servicer.  By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer hereby covenants as follows (upon which covenants the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee rely in accepting the Receivables and delivering the applicable Securities):

(a)            Liens in Force. No Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable shall be released in whole or in part from the security interest granted by such Receivable, except upon payment in full of such Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein.

(b)            No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer in the property of the Issuer.

(c)            No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.02.

(d)            Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer shall not (A) create, incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to or permit in the future (upon the occurrence of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien on or restriction on transferability of any Conveyed Asset except for the Lien of the Indenture and the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (B) other than as contemplated herein, sign or file any UCC financing statements in any jurisdiction that names BMW FS, the Depositor or the Issuer as a debtor, and any Person other than the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as a secured party or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement, in each case with respect to the Conveyed Assets or the related property.

SECTION 4.07.        Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach.  Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or, if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge or receives written notice thereof, the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 4.02(b), 4.05(a) or 4.06, the party discovering, obtaining actual knowledge or receiving written notice, as applicable, of such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07.  On or before the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of a breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 4.02(b), 4.05(a) or 4.06 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in any Receivable (or, at the Servicer’s election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach), the Servicer shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects by such date, purchase from the Issuer the Receivable affected by such breach. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, the Servicer shall remit the related Purchase Amount into the Collection Account, with written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such deposit, in the manner specified in Section

5.04. Upon such purchase, the Servicer shall be deemed to have released all claims for the reimbursement of outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables so purchased. Subject to Section 7.02, it is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Servicer for such breach available to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders.

SECTION 4.08.        Servicing Fee.  The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer on each Payment Date prior to the payment of interest on any Class of Notes. However, if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency, the Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period (together with any portion of the Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from prior Payment Dates) will be paid at the beginning of that Collection Period out of the collections of interest on the Receivables.  The Servicing Fee is based on the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months; provided, however, that the Servicing Fee on the first Payment Date shall be prorated to compensate for the length of the first Collection Period, if applicable. The Servicer will be entitled to collect and retain as additional servicing compensation in respect of each Collection Period any late fees, prepayment charges, deferment fees and other administrative fees or similar charges collected on the Receivables (the “Supplemental Servicing Fee”). The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee).

SECTION 4.09.        Servicer’s Certificate.  Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agents and the Depositor, with a copy to each Rating Agency, a Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.06 of this Agreement or Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, as applicable, for the related Collection Period and any other information the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request. Such Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer that the information provided is complete and no defaults have occurred. Receivables to be purchased by the Servicer or to be repurchased by a Seller and each Receivable that became a Liquidated Receivable may be identified by the Servicer by account number with respect to such Receivable (as specified in the Schedule of Receivables). The Servicer’s Certificate related to the first Collection Period will also include the disclosure required by Rule 4(c)(1)(ii) of Regulation RR.  With respect to each Collection Period, the Servicer will prepare and file, or cause to be filed, a Form ABS-EE (including an asset data file and asset-related document containing the asset-level information for each Receivable and Financed Vehicle for such Collection Period) on or before the date on which the Form 10-D with respect to such Collection Period is required to be filed with the Commission.

SECTION 4.10.        Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Servicer Termination Event.

(a)            The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, within ninety (90) days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year

(commencing with the fiscal year 2020), an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.

(b)            The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that is a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.01.

SECTION 4.11.        Assessment of Compliance and Annual Accountants’ Attestation.

(a)            Within ninety (90) days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year 2020), the Servicer shall:

(i)            deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator (and, if not otherwise publicly available, to the Indenture Trustee, upon request thereby) a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year (or in the case of the first report, from the Closing Date, which may be shorter than twelve months), as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  Such report shall be addressed to the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto delivered to the Issuer and the Administrator concurrently with the execution of this Agreement;

(ii)            deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator (and, if not otherwise publicly available, to the Indenture Trustee, upon request thereby) a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Administrator that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(iii)            cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section; and

(iv)            if requested by the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator and any other Person that will be responsible

for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a securitization transaction, a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and, if requested, cause any Subservicer or Subcontractor described in clause (iii) above to do the same.

The Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (a)(iv) above may rely on the certification provided by the Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.  The Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, will not request delivery of a certification under clause (a)(iv) above unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Issuer.

(b)            Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iii) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification to be delivered to the Servicer, Issuer and the Administrator on or prior to the date of such appointment.  An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer and the Issuer on the date of such appointment.

SECTION 4.12.        Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables.  The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables and the related Trust property. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request, which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal business operations or employee or customer relations, and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer upon prior written notice to the Servicer of at least five (5) Business Days. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

SECTION 4.13.        Term of Servicer.  The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer under, and for the term of, this Agreement.

SECTION 4.14.        Access to Information Regarding Trust and Basic Documents.  The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee from time to time such information regarding the Issuer or the Basic Documents as the Owner Trustee shall reasonably request. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Owner Trustee, upon request, annually a copy of the Note Register. The Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee copies of all documents and reports required to be provided by the Servicer pursuant to this Article IV.

SECTION 5.01.        Establishment of Accounts.

(a)            The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.  If at any time the institution maintaining the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Indenture Trustee will, or will cooperate with the Servicer to, as applicable, cause the Collection Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution within thirty (30) days (or such longer period in respect of which the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied).

(b)            The Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish with and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Issuer shall also cause to be established two administrative subaccounts within the Note Distribution Account at the Eligible Institution then maintaining the Note Distribution Account, which subaccounts shall be designated the “Interest Distribution Account” and the “Principal Distribution Account”, respectively. The Interest Distribution Account and the Principal Distribution Account are established and maintained solely for administrative purposes.  If at any time the institution maintaining the Note Distribution Account or the related subaccounts ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Indenture Trustee will, or will cooperate with the Servicer to, as applicable, cause the Note Distribution Account and the related subaccounts to be moved to an Eligible Institution within thirty (30) days (or such longer period in respect of which the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied).

(c)            The Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish with and maintain in the name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders.  If at any time the institution maintaining the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Indenture Trustee will, or will cooperate with the Servicer to, as applicable, cause the Reserve Account to be moved to an Eligible Institution within thirty (30) days (or such longer period in respect of which the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied).

(d)            Funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer; provided, however, that if (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Reserve Account or the Collection Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Indenture or (iii) if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 of the Indenture as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in investments that are Eligible Investments in accordance with the

standing instructions most recently given in writing by the Servicer. Funds on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, as applicable; provided, for each Collection Period such amount shall be calculated on the Determination Date. On each Payment Date all interest and other investment income (net of Net Investment Losses) on funds on deposit in the (i) Collection Account for the related Collection Period will be released to the Depositor; and (ii) Reserve Account for the related Collection Period will be released to the Depositor, upon the direction of the Servicer, to the extent that funds on deposit in the Reserve Account on such Payment Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals therefrom on such Payment Date, exceed the Specified Reserve Account Balance. Other than as permitted in writing by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Reserve Account, funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. Funds deposited in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account on a day that immediately precedes a Payment Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested overnight.

(e)            In the event that there are Net Investment Losses in Eligible Investments chosen by the Servicer, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Payment Date, the amount of the Net Investment Losses. The Indenture Trustee shall not be held liable in any way for any Net Investment Losses, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as Indenture Trustee, in accordance with their terms.

(f)            (i)            The Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and investment property on deposit from time to time in or credited to the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon) and all such funds, investment property, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust Estate, except as otherwise set forth herein. The Trust Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, as applicable.  If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments from the account that is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account to the new Trust Account.

(ii)            With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that:

(A)            any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts, subject to the last sentence of Section 5.01(f)(i); and each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(B)            any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

(C)            any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph;

(D)            any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (C) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (c) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its nominee’s) ownership of such security; and

(E)            any Trust Account Property that is a security entitlement shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (d) of the definition herein of “Delivery” and shall be held pending maturity or disposition by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary acting solely for the Indenture Trustee.

(iii)            The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of withdrawing any amounts deposited in error into such accounts.

(g)            The Servicer, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary agree as follows:

(i)            each of the Collection Account and the Reserve Account is, and will be maintained as, a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC);

(ii)            the Securities Intermediary is acting, and will act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in the UCC) with respect to the Collection Account and the Reserve Account;

(iii)            this Agreement (together with the Indenture) is the only agreement entered into among the parties with respect to the Collection Account and the Reserve Account and the parties will not enter into any other agreement related to the Collection Account or the Reserve Account; and

(iv)            at the time of this Agreement, and continuously thereafter, the Securities Intermediary shall have a place of business in the United States at which any of the activities of the Securities Intermediary are carried on and which (i) alone or together with other offices of the Securities Intermediary or with other persons acting for the Securities Intermediary in the United States or another nation (A) effects or monitors entries to securities accounts, (B) administers payments or corporate actions relating to securities held with the Securities Intermediary or such other persons, or (C) is otherwise engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts; or (ii)  is identified by an account number, bank code, or other specific means of identification as maintaining securities accounts in the United States.

SECTION 5.02.        Collections.  The Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables), all Liquidation Proceeds and any subsequent Recoveries within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors with respect to the Receivables (other than Purchased Receivables), all Liquidation Proceeds and any subsequent Recoveries received by the Servicer during a Collection Period on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date; provided that the Servicer will remit all such amounts described in the preceding sentence within two (2) Business Days of receipt to an account established and maintained by BMW Capital.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as BMW FS is the Servicer, BMW FS may withhold from the deposit into the Collection Account any amounts indicated on the related Servicer’s Certificate as being due and payable to the Servicer and pay such amounts directly to the Servicer.  For purposes of this Article V, the phrase “payments by or on behalf of the Obligors” shall mean payments made with respect to the Receivables by Persons other than the Servicer or the Sellers.

SECTION 5.03.        Application of Collections.  On each Payment Date, all payments received from or on behalf of an Obligor in respect of a Receivable (including each Purchased Receivable) during the related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer first to unreimbursed Advances (up to the amount of interest received, as provided in the definition of Available Interest), second to interest accrued to date, third to principal until the Principal Balance is brought current, fourth to reduce the unpaid late charges as provided in the Receivable and finally to prepay principal of the Receivable.

SECTION 5.04.        Purchase Amounts; Dealer Recourse.  The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, on or prior to each Determination Date, the aggregate Purchase Amount with respect to Purchased Receivables and the Servicer shall deposit therein all amounts to be paid under Section 4.07.  The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to each Determination Date, all proceeds received by it from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement (the “Dealer Recourse Amount”) in satisfaction of any Purchase Amount in respect of such Receivable that is due and which remains unpaid by the related Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account any such Purchase Amount or Dealer Recourse Amount received by it in a Collection Period on the Business Day prior to the related

Payment Date; provided that the Servicer will deposit the Purchase Amount and any Dealer Recourse Amount into an account established and maintained by BMW Capital, such deposit being made within two (2) Business Days of the event giving rise to such Purchase Amounts or Dealer Recourse Amounts.

SECTION 5.05.        Reserved.

The Servicer may, however, undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement with respect to the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders under this Agreement.  In that event, the legal expenses and costs of that action and any liability resulting from that course of action will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer, and the Servicer will not be entitled to be reimbursed for those costs and liabilities.

(b)            The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to the Indenture Trustee simultaneously acting in the capacity of successor Servicer and Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may, in such capacities, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by the Indenture Trustee of express duties set forth in this Agreement in any of such capacities.

SECTION 7.05.        Appointment of Subservicer or Subcontractor.

(a)            The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of any subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Securityholders shall have any responsibility therefor.

(b)            The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer as is required to file all required reports with the Commission.  The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 4.10, any assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 4.11 and any

certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 4.11(a)(iv) as and when required to be delivered.

(c)            The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrator) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which, if any, of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which, if any, elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.

As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer and the Depositor to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer.  The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

SECTION 7.06.        Servicer Not to Resign.

(a)            Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law.

(b)            Notice of any determination that the performance by the Servicer of its duties hereunder is no longer permitted under applicable law shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until a successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning Servicer in accordance with Section 8.03. If no Servicer has been appointed within thirty (30) days of resignation or removal, or the date upon which any regulatory authority requires such resignation, the Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment.

SECTION 7.07.        Servicer May Own Securities.  The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any Basic Document. Except as set forth herein or in the other Basic Documents, Securities so owned by or pledged to Servicer or any such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this

Agreement and the other Basic Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Securities of the same class.

SECTION 7.08.        Information to be Provided by the Servicer.

(a)            At the request of the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall (or shall cause each Subservicer to) (i) notify the Issuer and the Administrator in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Servicer or any Subservicer and (ii) provide to the Issuer and the Administrator a description of such proceedings.

(b)            As a condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer or subservicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Issuer, the Depositor and the Administrator of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, the Depositor and the Administrator, all information reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Depositor or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed securities.

(c)            In addition to such information as the Servicer, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement, if so requested by the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall provide such information regarding the performance or servicing of the Receivables as is reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB.  Such information shall be provided concurrently with the monthly reports otherwise required to be delivered by the Servicer under this Agreement, commencing with the first such report due not less than ten (10) Business Days following such request.

SECTION 7.09.        Remedies.

(a)            The Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Depositor for any monetary damages incurred as a result of the failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, attestation, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Article IV and this Article VII, including any failure by the Servicer to identify any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and shall reimburse the applicable party for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer, or any Subcontractor.

(b)            The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Issuer and the Administrator for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuer or Administrator in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the Receivables to a successor servicer.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights the Issuer or Administrator may have under other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.

SECTION 7.10.        Compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Servicer.  The Servicer shall (i) perform the covenants set forth in Article XII of the Indenture applicable to it and (ii) facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the FDIC Rule Parties.

SECTION 8.01.        Servicer Termination Events.  For purposes of this Agreement, the occurrence and continuance of any of the following shall constitute a “Servicer Termination Event”:

(a)            any failure by the Servicer to deposit into the Collection Account any proceeds or payment required to be so delivered under the terms of this Agreement that continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after written notice is received by the Servicer or after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

(b)            failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement (other than any covenant or agreement under Section 7.10), which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after discovery of such failure by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Servicer by any of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; or

(c)            the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) for a period of forty-five (45) days or under clause (b) for a period of ninety (90) days, will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if that failure or delay was caused by Force Majeure or other similar occurrence.

SECTION 8.02.        Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event.

(a)            If a Servicer Termination Event shall occur, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of Noteholders evidencing at least 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Servicer.

On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to,

be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee, as successor servicer, subject to Section 8.03; provided, however, that such successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that such successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer.  The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee as lienholder or secured party on the related certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or otherwise.

(b)            All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the servicing duties to the successor Servicer (including any such transfer effected in accordance with Section 3.08) and amending this agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer, shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or, if the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting in such capacity pursuant to Section 8.03(a), shall be an expense reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer).

(c)            The predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, including reimbursement for Advances made in respect of the Receivables, through and including the effective date of the termination of the predecessor Servicer.

(d)            The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the predecessor Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, providing the Indenture Trustee and successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to perform the Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time or thereafter be or should have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer in the Collection Account and any other Trust Account maintained with respect to the Securities.  None of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the predecessor Servicer will transfer to the Indenture Trustee, as successor Servicer, until the Indenture Trustee has received all documentation and data necessary to effect the transfer of the predecessor Servicer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee.  Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the predecessor Servicer to deliver, or any delay by the predecessor Servicer in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the predecessor Servicer to cooperate or (iii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the predecessor Servicer.

(e)            The successor Servicer will not be responsible for delays attributable to the predecessor Servicer’s failure to deliver information, defects in the information supplied by the predecessor Servicer or other circumstances beyond the control of the successor Servicer.

(f)            The successor Servicer will make arrangements with the predecessor Servicer for the prompt and safe transfer of, and the predecessor Servicer shall provide to the successor Servicer, all necessary servicing files and records held by the predecessor Servicer with respect to the Receivables including the Receivable Files and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables. The predecessor Servicer shall be obligated to pay the reasonable costs associated with the transfer of the servicing files and records to the successor Servicer; provided, that if the predecessor Servicer is the Indenture Trustee acting in such capacity pursuant to Section 8.03(a), such costs shall be an expense reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

(g)            The successor Servicer shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder nor incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties if any such failure or delay results from the successor Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a person other than the successor Servicer or the failure of any such person to prepare or provide such information. The successor Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default hereunder and shall incur no liability (i) for any act or failure to act by any third party, including the predecessor Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the successor Servicer from any third party or (ii) for any act or failure to act which is due to or results from the invalidity or unenforceability of any Receivable under applicable law or the breach or the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Receivable.

SECTION 8.03.        Appointment of Successor Servicer.

(a)            On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein. The Depositor, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee in such capacity) is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.02 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer.

(b)            On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06, or if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may exercise at any time their right to appoint a successor to the Servicer, and shall have no liability to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor, any Noteholders, any Certificateholders or any other Person if they do so.  Notwithstanding the above, if the Indenture Trustee shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or Noteholders evidencing at least 50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition a

court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

(c)            Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer arising thereafter and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Each successor Servicer shall be obligated to provide to BMW FS by electronic means, at least five (5) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, certain information with respect to each Receivable as may be requested by BMW FS.

SECTION 8.04.        Notification to Securityholders.  Upon any Servicer Termination Event and termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator, and the Administrator shall make such notice available to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 8.05.        Waiver of Past Defaults.  Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may, on behalf of all Securityholders, waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 9.01.        Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

(a)            On the Payment Date with respect to which the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 5% of the Initial Pool Balance and on each Payment Date thereafter, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the Receivables from the Trust. Upon providing twenty (20) days’ prior notice of the redemption of the Notes to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture, the Servicer shall deposit to the Note Distribution Account on the Business Day preceding the Redemption Date an amount equal to the Redemption Price and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Receivables.  The exercise of such option shall effect a retirement, in whole but not in part, of all outstanding Notes.

(b)            As described in Article IX of the Trust Agreement, notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

(c)            Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligation to make payments to Certificateholders of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(a)            Upon the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger with respect to any Collection Period, the Servicer will promptly send to the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a notice describing the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, and including reasonably detailed calculations thereof.

(b)            If the Indenture Trustee notifies the Servicer pursuant to Section 13.02 of the Indenture that sufficient Noteholders have voted within the required time to initiate an Asset Representations Review of all ARR Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, then the Servicer shall:

(i)            promptly (but in no case later than ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Servicer of such notice) notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee of the number and identity of the ARR Receivables;

(ii)            within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Servicer of such notice from the Indenture Trustee, render reasonable assistance, including granting access to copies of any underlying documents and Receivable Files and all other relevant documents, to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the performance of a review of all ARR Receivables, pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, in order to verify compliance with the representations and warranties made by the applicable Seller in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

(iii)            provide such other reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer as it requests in order to facilitate its Asset Representations Review of the ARR Receivables pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

(c)            Upon receipt by the Servicer of a Review Report from the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Servicer will forward a copy of such Review Report to the related Seller or Sellers and direct such Seller or Sellers (i) to promptly evaluate whether any ARR Receivable should be repurchased as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in the related Receivables Purchase Agreement and (ii) provide a report to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of its determinations with respect thereto.  Prior to the provision of any such Review Report to a Noteholder or Note Owner, the Servicer shall ensure and, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, shall certify to the Indenture Trustee, that the Review Report contains no Personally Identifiable Information (as defined in the Asset Representations Review Agreement).

(d)            The Servicer may redact any materials provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in order to remove any personally identifiable customer information.  Except for the measure described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts not to change the meaning of such materials or their usefulness to the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with its review pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

SECTION 11.02.        Dispute Resolution.

(a)            If the Depositor, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee (solely at the direction of any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner) requests (as permitted by Section 13.03 of the Indenture, and by written notice to the Sellers), or if any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner requests (by written notice to the Indenture Trustee or the Sellers) (any such party making a request, the “Requesting Party”), that a Receivable be repurchased due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty made by the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Servicer and the related Seller will evaluate any such request, and if the request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of such request by the related Seller, as applicable, (which, if sent by a Noteholder or Verified Note Owner to the Indenture Trustee, will be forwarded to the related Seller), then the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or third-party binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.02.  Dispute resolution to resolve repurchase requests will be available regardless of whether Noteholders and Verified Note Owners voted to direct an Asset Representations Review or whether the Delinquency Trigger occurred.  The Servicer will direct the Indenture Trustee to, and the Indenture Trustee will, notify the Requesting Party of the date when the 180-day period ends without resolution by the appropriate party and that such Requesting Party has to provide notice to the related Seller and the Servicer of its intention to refer the matter to mediation, to refer the matter to arbitration, or to institute a legal proceeding within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice of the end of the 180-day period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to

monitor repurchase activity or to independently determine whether a repurchase request remains unresolved at the end of the related 180-day period.  The related Seller agrees to participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.

(b)            If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i)            The mediation will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its mediation procedures in effect at the time of the proceeding.

(ii)            The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by JAMS.  Upon being supplied a list of at least 10 potential mediators by JAMS, each of the applicable Seller and the Requesting Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.  JAMS will select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii)            The applicable Seller and the Requesting Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within thirty (30) days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within sixty (60) days of the start of the mediation.

(iv)            The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the applicable Seller and the Requesting Party as part of the mediation.

(c)            If the Requesting Party selects binding arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i)            The arbitration will be administered by the AAA pursuant its Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such arbitration.

(ii)            The arbitral panel will consist of three members, (i) one to be appointed by the Requesting Party within five (5) Business Days of providing notice to the related Seller of its selection of arbitration, (ii) one to be appointed by the related Seller within five (5) Business Days of that appointment and (iii) the third, who will preside over the panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five (5) Business Days of the second appointment.  If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the stated time periods, then the appointments will be made by the AAA pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.  In each such case, each arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience.

(iii)            Each arbitrator will be independent and will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the proceeding.  Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.  Any arbitrator may be removed by the AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

(iv)            After consulting with the parties, the arbitral panel will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within ninety (90) days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with then-prevailing New York law (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v)            Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) four party witness depositions not to exceed five hours, and (B) one set of interrogations, document requests, and requests for admissions; provided that the arbitral panel will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitral panel determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi)            The arbitral panel will make its final determination no later than ninety (90) days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way.  The arbitral panel will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them.  In its final determination, the arbitral panel will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitral panel, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitral panel in its reasonable discretion.  The determination in any binding arbitration of the arbitral panel will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination will be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii)            By selecting binding arbitration, the selecting party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii)            No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.

(d)            The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:

(i)            Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York, but any party may appear by video conference or teleconference;

(ii)            The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 11.02, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 11.02).  Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 11.02), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order.  If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information; and

(iii)            If JAMS or the AAA no longer exists, or if its rules would no longer permit mediation or arbitration of the dispute, the matter will be administered by another nationally recognized mediation or arbitration organization, selected by BMW FS or BMW Bank, as applicable, using its relevant rules then in effect.  However, if any such rules are inconsistent with the terms of the mediation or arbitration stated in this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will apply.  Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York City, but any party may appear by video conference or teleconference.

(iv)            Under no circumstances will the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer be liable for any expenses allocated to the Requesting Party in any dispute resolution proceeding.

          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 Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

2.            Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the related Seller, as secured party, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the related Seller, as secured party.

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

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

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 related Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the related Seller, the Depositor and the Issuer in connection with the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, this 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 C 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 C, 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.
