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 Certificate 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, as evidenced by an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto 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 or BAC to the Obligors, the Dealer, insurers 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 Custody of Receivable Files.

(a) Custody. The Issuer and the Grantor Trust, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Grantor Trust as custodian of the Receivable Files, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its agent or designee), as pledgee of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust pursuant to the Indenture. “Receivable File” means, with respect to each Receivable, the following documents or instruments (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable), which may be held in tangible paper form or electronic form:

(i)

the fully executed original, electronically authenticated original or authoritative copy of the Contract (in each case within the meaning of the UCC) related to such Receivable, including any written amendments or extensions thereto;

(ii)

the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received, evidence that an application therefor has been submitted with the appropriate authority, a guaranty of title from the Dealer or such other document (electronic or otherwise, as used in the applicable jurisdiction) that the Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, evidencing the

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

security interest created with respect to the Financed Vehicle; provided, however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File, the Certificate of Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged by the Servicer to obtain and/or hold Certificates of Title; and

(iii)

any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.

(b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer will promptly report to the Issuer, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold a material portion of the Receivable Files or to maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Grantor Trust or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices: (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees.

(c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain any portion of a Receivable File that exists in tangible form in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in accordance with Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer, the Grantor Trust, the Standby Servicer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide access to the Receivable Files, and the related accounts records, and computer systems and information regarding the Receivables maintained by the Servicer at such times as the Issuer, the Grantor Trust, the Standby Servicer or the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Agreement gives rise to any right, expectation, or other entitlement on the part of any Person to inspect, examine, access, or visit any data center or other secure facility of the Standby Servicer, including in its capacity of successor Servicer.

(d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable. Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with reasonable care and returned to the Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may be, has no further need therefor.

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

(e) Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture Trustee will be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer will be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of such written instructions.

(f) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian will become effective as of the Closing Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 2.2(f). If BAC resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under Section 7.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if the Notes are no longer Outstanding, by the Relevant Trustee at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders), in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders (or Certificateholders) may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee (or, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to its agent) the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer 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, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall either (i) continue to hold any such authoritative copies on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent (provided that the Servicer has not been terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(f)) or (ii) deliver copies of such authoritative copies and destroy the authoritative copies maintained by the Servicer prior to its termination such that the copies delivered to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent becomes the authoritative copy of the Receivable and constitutes electronic chattel paper.

(g) Liability of Indenture Trustee. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Standby Servicer shall be liable for the acts or omissions of the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian of the Receivable Files.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY

SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and the Grantor Trust and authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and the Grantor Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, pursuing delinquencies, providing invoices or other payment information (which may be in electronic form) or through a web portal to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, administering rebates and refunds to Obligors, accounting for Collections and furnishing monthly statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer is not required under

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

the Transaction Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction Documents for funds to be, and funds shall not be, held in trust for an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivables or the Transaction Documents for payments or disbursements to be made by the Servicer on behalf of an Obligor. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Servicer shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations or the taking of any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (and such failure or delay shall not constitute a breach of any Transaction Document or a Servicer Replacement Event) if such failure or delay arises from compliance by the Servicer with any law or court order, the direction of a regulatory authority or regulatory guidance.

(b) The Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable as long as such activities will not result in or cause the Issuer or the Grantor Trust to be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, or cause the Grantor Trust to be treated as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 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 Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer or the Grantor Trust, a Proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy or to commence or participate in any other Proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor, a Financed Vehicle or an Insurance Policy. If the Servicer commences a Proceeding to enforce a Receivable or an Insurance Policy, the Issuer or the Grantor Trust, as applicable, will thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable or its rights under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such Proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer and the Grantor Trust to execute and deliver in the Servicer’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 Proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable or Insurance Policy on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, the Issuer and the Grantor Trust, as applicable, will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable or Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer and the Grantor Trust will furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will obtain on behalf of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be held by the Issuer and the Grantor Trust in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and will make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall have no right, power or authority to execute any instruments or to do or perform any acts in the name of Wilmington Trust, National Association.

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

(c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.1, and, in any case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer.

(d) The Servicer shall not be required to monitor whether Obligors maintain an Insurance Policy on the Financed Vehicles.

SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments.

(a) The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same become due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, may grant Permitted Modifications but not any other extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to any Receivable, nor may the Servicer (i) extend the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period immediately prior to the Final Scheduled Payment Date of the latest maturing Class of Notes or (ii) reduce the Contract Rate or Principal Balance with respect to any Receivable in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, other than (A) as required by applicable law or court order, (B) in connection with a modification, adjustment or settlement in the event the Receivable becomes a Severely Distressed Receivable, (C) at the direction of a regulatory authority or in accordance with regulatory guidance or (D) if the related Obligor is an SCRA Obligor. The Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer shall not be required to make any advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments on the Receivables, including payoffs, made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such payments shall be allocated to principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Standby Servicer (unless the Standby Servicer has become the Servicer) shall have any obligation to approve or consent to, or monitor compliance of the Servicer with, the satisfaction of the conditions related to, any Permitted Modification.

(b) Subject to the second sentence of Section 3.2(a), the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the related Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables.

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full Outstanding Principal Balance of and any accrued interest on such Receivable into the Collection Account. The Outstanding Principal Balance shall be treated for all purposes, including for United States federal income tax purposes, as a payoff of all amounts owed by the related Obligor with respect to such Receivable. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer or the Grantor Trust. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the related Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle.

(d) Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as prescribed by the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices, and describe the entity’s activities in monitoring delinquent pool assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling plans in cases where delinquency is deemed temporary (e.g., illness or unemployment) in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices.

(e) The Servicer shall not be required to maintain a fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy.

SECTION 3.3 Repossession of Financed Vehicles; Sales of Deficiency Balances. On behalf of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to which the Servicer has determined eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its sole discretion it determines that repossession will not increase the aggregate Liquidation Proceeds or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance or that repossessing such Financed Vehicle would otherwise not be consistent with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer is authorized as it deems necessary or advisable, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to make reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and to sell the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale. The foregoing will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle. In addition, the Servicer, in its sole discretion, may in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices sell any Receivable’s Deficiency Balance, sell Defaulted Receivables and sell Receivables in bankruptcy. To facilitate any such sale the Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, purchase from the Grantor Trust such Receivable’s Deficiency Balance, Defaulted Receivable or Receivable in bankruptcy for a purchase price equal to the proceeds received by the Servicer in an arm’s-length transaction for the sale of such Deficiency Balance, Defaulted Receivable or Receivable in bankruptcy. Net proceeds of any such sale allocable to the Receivable will constitute Liquidation Proceeds, and the sole right of the Issuer, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee with respect to any such sold Receivables will be to receive such Liquidation Proceeds. Upon such sale, the Servicer will mark its computer records indicating that any such receivable sold is no longer a Receivable. The Servicer is authorized to take any and all actions necessary

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

or appropriate on behalf of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust to evidence the sale of the Financed Vehicle at a public or private sale or the sale of the Receivable to the Servicer to facilitate a sale of a Deficiency Balance, Defaulted Receivable or Receivable in bankruptcy pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3, in each case, free from any Lien or other interest of the Issuer, the Grantor Trust or the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, waive any Deficiency Balance.

SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section 3.4 are the sole requirements under the Transaction Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the Certificate of Title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral for that Receivable and merely evidences such security interest. The Issuer and the Grantor Trust hereby authorize the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest created by the Receivable in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.

SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer. Unless required by law or court order, or at the direction of a regulatory authority or in accordance with regulatory guidance, the Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (ii) in connection with repossession or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle.

SECTION 3.6 Indemnification Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2(a) or 3.5 with respect to any Receivable which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Grantor Trust or the Noteholders in any Receivable, the party discovering or receiving written notice of such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided, (i) that the delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach and (ii) the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Standby Servicer shall be deemed to have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer thereof has actual knowledge thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 3.6. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Grantor Trust or the Noteholders in such Receivable, or if the Servicer is required to make a payment of the Actual Loss Amount pursuant to this Section 3.6, then the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such breach, if applicable, or (b) pay the Actual Loss Amount (if any) with respect to such Receivable, in either case on or before the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60^th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date the Servicer became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure has not affected the

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

ability of the Grantor Trust to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. The Servicer shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) the Actual Loss Amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, Mountain Standard Time, on such date of indemnification (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to make a payment equal to the Actual Loss Amount as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Grantor Trust and the Noteholders.

SECTION 3.7 Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Grantor Trust shall pay to the Servicer the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 for the immediately preceding Collection Period as compensation for its services.

No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with respect to the Collection Account.

(ii)

An Eligible Account (the “Reserve Account”) maintained at the Indenture Trustee in the name and for the benefit of the Issuer bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Issuer. No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with respect to the Reserve Account.

(iii)

Upon the issuance of any Definitive Certificate in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in the name of the Issuer, a non-interest bearing Eligible Account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which Eligible Account shall be established by the Certificate Paying Agent with the Trust Account Provider. No checks shall be issued, printed or honored with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be held uninvested.

(b) The Collection Account and the Reserve Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be Eligible Accounts initially established by the Indenture Trustee with the Trust Account Provider. Funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts, if any, shall be invested by the Relevant Trustee in Eligible Investments selected in writing by the Servicer and of which the Servicer provides notification (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise); provided that it is understood and agreed that neither the Servicer, the Relevant Trustee (subject to Section 6.1(c) of the Indenture) nor the Issuer shall be liable for any loss arising from such investment in Eligible Investments. If no such selection is made by the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall remain uninvested. For the avoidance of doubt, any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts that remain uninvested shall be held at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association or, after notice from the Indenture Trustee to the Rating Agencies, such other depository institution that satisfies the criteria set forth in clause (b) of the definition of Eligible Institution. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Relevant Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuer (or if there are no Noteholders, for the Certificateholders). On each Payment Date all interest and other investment income (net of

losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts (other than from the Reserve Account that shall be distributed to or at the direction of the Seller) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 4.4. All investments of funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts shall mature so that such funds will be available on the Business Day immediately preceding the immediately following Payment Date. No Eligible Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to its scheduled maturity unless a default occurs with respect to such Eligible Investment and the Servicer directs the Relevant Trustee in writing to dispose of such Eligible Investment. The Servicer acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive notification after the completion of each purchase and sale of Eligible Investments or the Relevant Trustee’s receipt of a broker’s confirmation. The Servicer agrees that such notifications shall not be provided by the Relevant Trustee hereunder, and the Relevant Trustee shall make available, upon request and in lieu of notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity. If at any time, any investment ceases to be an Eligible Investment, (x)(i) if such investment is purchased from or through the Relevant Trustee or an Affiliate of the Relevant Trustee, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing and (ii) if the Eligible Investment is not purchased from or through the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Relevant Trustee in writing and (y) the Servicer shall direct the Relevant Trustee invest in an alternative Eligible Investment.

The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether any investment of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account meet the requirements of 17 CFR Part 246.4(b)(2) of Regulation RR.

(c) The Relevant Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments and proceeds shall be part of the Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts (other than the Reserve Account) shall be under the sole dominion and “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Relevant Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders (or if there are no Noteholders, for the Certificateholders). The Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and “control” (as defined above) of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer, which such Reserve Account has been pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. If at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, (x)(i) if the Trust Accounts are accounts with the Relevant Trustee or an Affiliate of the Relevant Trustee, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing and (ii) if the Trust Accounts are not accounts with the Relevant Trustee, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Relevant Trustee in writing and (y) the Servicer shall within thirty (30) days (or any longer period if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such longer period) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account and shall direct the Relevant Trustee in writing to transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account. Each Trust Account Provider holding a Trust Account as provided in this Section 4.1, may be a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC). If an Trust Account Provider shall be a Person other than the Relevant Trustee, and if the Relevant Trustee is not the customer or “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to the Trust Accounts, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Trust Account Provider set forth in this Section 4.1.

(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, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(BLAST 2024-4)

(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 limited liability company action on the part of the Seller and, to its knowledge, 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 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) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability 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.

This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in the Receivables (other than the Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) in favor of the Issuer which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller.

(b) Indemnification under this Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and will include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation including those incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Owner Trustee’s, the Grantor Trust Trustee’s, the Certificate Paying Agent’s or the Indenture Trustee’s respective rights (including indemnification rights) under the Transaction Documents. If the Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 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.

(c) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 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, the Servicer, the Standby Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Grantor Trust and the Grantor Trust Trustee, by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller.

SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others.

Sale and Servicing Agreement

(BLAST 2024-4)

(a) The Servicer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Owner Trustee (including in its individual capacity), the Grantor Trust Trustee (including in its individual capacity), the Indenture Trustee, the Standby Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer, the Grantor Trust, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Noteholders and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all costs (including reasonable legal fees and related costs), expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence (other than errors in judgment), willful misconduct or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein by the Servicer (excluding, however, costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent resulting from the negligence (or gross negligence (except for errors in judgment) in the case where the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee is seeking indemnification) or willful misconduct on the part of the indemnified party or breach of any Transaction Document by the indemnified party (which, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, resulted from the Indenture Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct)). Such indemnification shall include any amounts incurred by an indemnified party in connection with the enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not be liable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document for any special, consequential or punitive damages whatsoever, whether in contract, tort or any other legal or equitable principle; provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable with respect to indemnification obligations for third-party claims made against a party.

(c) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by BAC (or any successor thereto), as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as well as the resignation or removal of any other party or the termination or assignment of this Agreement. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 6.2 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 Servicer, without interest.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 6.2, notify the Servicer of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Servicer will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party, unless, and then only to the extent that, the Servicer did not otherwise learn of the claim and such delay is materially prejudicial to the Servicer’s ability to defend or to obtain coverage under the Servicer’s insurance policy for such claim. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the Servicer of the commencement thereof, the Servicer will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish and solely with respect to the allegations in such action for which the indemnified party intends to make a claim against the Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.2, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice

Sale and Servicing Agreement

from the Servicer to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Servicer will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the Servicer and the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest prevents the indemnified party and the Servicer having the same counsel, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select a single separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, and the Servicer will reimburse any reasonable legal expenses incurred by the indemnified party having separate counsel, as a result of any such conflict, as incurred. The Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and any related future claims.

(e) The Issuer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Standby Servicer and any officers, managers, members, employees or agents of Standby Servicer harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees, and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that the Standby Servicer may sustain under this Agreement in connection with claims asserted at any time against Standby Servicer arising out of this Agreement, unless such Losses are the result of the negligence, bad faith or misconduct of the Standby Servicer or any failure of the representations and warranties made by the Standby Servicer hereunder (or any Transaction Document), or in connection herewith to be true and correct in all material respects when made, or the breach of any Transaction Document by the Standby Servicer resulting from the Standby Servicer’s negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that such indemnities shall only be payable pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof of Section 5.4 of the Indenture. The indemnities in this Section 6.2(e) shall include reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses of external counsel in connection with the successful enforcement of the indemnification rights hereunder and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Standby Servicer.

SECTION 6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer. Any entity (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any entity resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of the Servicer or (ii) of which more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity is owned directly or indirectly by BAC or DTCS and which executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement, in each case, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

(a) Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer will be under any liability to the Issuer, the Grantor Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Certificate Paying Agent, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director, officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters arising under this Agreement.

(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer.

SECTION 6.8 Standby Servicer.

(a) The Servicer covenants and agrees that it will provide the Standby Servicer with an Electronic File for each Receivable (i) as of the Cut-Off Date, (ii) thereafter, at the times specified in Section 3.14, and (iii) on or prior to the date on which the Standby Servicer commences servicing the Receivables.

(f) The Standby Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of the Servicer, DTCS, the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any other party to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Notice of any such determination referred to in clause (a) permitting the resignation of the Standby Servicer shall be communicated to 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 to and satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation of the Standby Servicer shall become effective until an entity, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Standby Servicer; provided that if no such entity shall have assumed such responsibilities and obligations of the Standby Servicer within sixty (60) days of the resignation of the Standby Servicer, the Standby Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Standby Servicer, with the cost of such petition to be reimbursed to the Standby Servicer in accordance with Section 4.4(a).

SECTION 6.10 Merger or Consolidation of Standby Servicer. The Standby Servicer may merge with any Person in its sole discretion.

TERMINATION OF SERVICER

SECTION 7.1 Termination and Replacement of Servicer.

(a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders representing at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Relevant Trustee shall, at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders), by notice given to the Servicer, the Standby Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Grantor Trust, the Administrator and the Noteholders, terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Noteholders representing at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, appoint a successor Servicer (which may be the Standby Servicer). Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of termination, such Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. The Servicer shall be entitled to (i) its pro rata share of the Servicing Fee for the number of days in the Collection Period, (ii) any Supplemental Servicing Fees received by the Servicer prior to the effective date of its termination and (iii) reimbursement of any Liquidation Reimbursements incurred by such Servicer prior to the effective date of its termination. If a successor Xxxxxxxx has not been appointed at the time when the outgoing Servicer ceases to act as Servicer after resigning or being removed in accordance with this Section 7.1, the Standby Servicer without further action will automatically be appointed the successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Standby Servicer, if it is legally unable or is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint another successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor vehicle receivables. Any expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee and the Standby Servicer in connection with the appointment of and transition to any successor Servicer will be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Indenture.

(b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or, if no Notes are Outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders) may waive any Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Replacement Event shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Servicer Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed not to have occurred for every purpose of this Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereto.

(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will cooperate with the successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee and will use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor Servicer, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held or should have been held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received with respect to a Receivable and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all files and records concerning the Receivables and a computer tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the other Trust Estate.

No Servicer shall resign or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. The predecessor Servicer shall grant the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Standby Servicer reasonable access to the predecessor Servicer’s premises and at any location at which payments on the Receivables are received at the predecessor Servicer’s expense.

(e) Notwithstanding the Standby Servicer’s assumption of, and its agreement to perform and observe, all duties, responsibilities and obligations of Servicer under this Agreement arising on and after the date when the Standby Servicer assumes the role of Servicer, the Standby Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability for, any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of any predecessor Servicer arising out of actions or omissions occurring on or before such date, whether provided for by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including any liability for, any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of any predecessor Servicer arising out of actions or omissions under Section 4.4 or 6.2, regardless of when the liability, duty, responsibility or obligation of any predecessor Servicer therefore arose, whether provided by the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise. The indemnification obligations of the Standby Servicer, upon becoming a successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those instances of negligence or willful misconduct of the Standby Servicer in its role as successor Servicer. The Standby Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the predecessor Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such appointment pursuant to this Section 7.1.

(g) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to payment from the immediate predecessor Servicer for any Servicing Transition Costs incurred in connection with its transition to Servicer. To the extent not paid in full by the immediate predecessor Servicer, such Servicing Transition Costs shall be paid from Available Funds pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of this Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture, as applicable.

SECTION 9.4 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, transfers, assignments and conveyances 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 collectability of the Receivables.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Transferred Assets 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 of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer, 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, the Grantor Trust or the Servicer as the Issuer’s and the Grantor Trust’s agent, of the Receivable Files and any other property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and

(iv)

Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents, as applicable, of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

SECTION 9.6 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as set forth on Schedule I hereto or at such other address as shall be designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid or via electronic transmission, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed or transmitted within the time and manner prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Issuer, the Grantor Trust and the Indenture Trustee as follows on the Closing Date:

General

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

2. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper,” “electronic chattel paper,” “accounts,” “instruments” or “general intangibles,” within the meaning of the UCC. If a Receivable constitutes “electronic chattel paper,” BAC has “control” of such electronic chattel paper within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC.

3. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of BAC (or its assignee), 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 BAC (or its assignee), as secured party.

Creation

4. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller to the Issuer, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien created by BAC (except any Lien which will be released prior to assignment of such Receivable under this Agreement), and immediately after the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable to the Issuer, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien created by BAC (other than Permitted Liens).

5. The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables hereunder to the Issuer required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments.

Perfection

6. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from the Seller to Issuer, and the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Issuer hereunder; and the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession the original copies of such

B-1

Exhibit B to the

Sale and Servicing Agreement

instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables, and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party/Purchaser”.

(i) All original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Grantor Trust; or

(ii) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Grantor Trust; or

(iii) The Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Grantor Trust.

Priority

8. Neither the Seller nor BAC has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either the Seller or BAC that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by BAC to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to the Issuer under this Agreement, (iii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Issuer to the Grantor Trust under the Receivables Contribution Agreement, (iv) relating to the security interest granted by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or (v) that has been terminated.

9. Neither the Seller nor BAC is aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller or BAC.

10. Neither the Seller nor BAC 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.

11. None of the instruments, tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Seller, the Issuer, the Grantor Trust or the Indenture Trustee.
