Section 2.03. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is to engage in the following activities and the Trust shall have the power and authority:

(a) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Trust Certificates pursuant to this Agreement and to sell, transfer and exchange the Notes and the Trust Certificates and to pay interest on and principal of the Notes and distributions on the Trust Certificates, all in accordance with the Basic Documents;

The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee.

Section 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and applicable local income and franchise tax and for purposes of any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, until the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from the Depositor and Notes held by a Person other than the Depositor (or by a Person whose separate existence from the Depositor is disregarded) will be characterized as debt. At such time that the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and applicable local income and franchise tax and for purposes of any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Trust shall be treated as a partnership, with the assets of such partnership being the Receivables and other assets held by the Trust, the partners of such partnership being the Certificateholders, and the Notes being debt of such partnership.

The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, until the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms

inconsistent with the characterization of the Trust as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner. In the event the Trust is required to file any tax returns, reports or other forms, the Depositor shall be responsible for causing such filings and the expense associated therewith. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust as set forth in Section 2.03.

Section 2.07. [Reserved].

Section 2.08. Title to Trust Property. Subject to the Lien of the Indenture, legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee, a co-trustee or a separate trustee, as the case may be; provided that in no event shall title or any ownership interest in the Trust Estate be vested in the name of the Owner Trustee without the express prior written consent of the Owner Trustee (which may be withheld or conditioned by the Owner Trustee for any reason in good faith).

Section 2.09. Situs of Trust. The Trust will be located in the State of Delaware. All bank accounts maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The Trust shall not have any employees; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Trust only in the State of Delaware or the State of New York, and payments will be made by the Trust only from the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The only office of the Trust will be at the Corporate Trust Office in the State of Delaware.

The Depositor is authorized to modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Certificateholders or to the extent otherwise required by the Code. Notwithstanding anything provided in this Section, if the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned solely by the Depositor, the application of this Section shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE III

TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.01. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

Section 3.02. The Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A. The Trust Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee. Trust Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement and shall be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Trust Certificates.

If a transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted pursuant to Section 3.11, a transferee of a Trust Certificate shall become a Certificateholder and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Trust Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.04.

All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is hereby appointed as an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trust.

Section 3.04. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Certificates.

At the option of a Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of a like aggregate Certificate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08.

Every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly executed by the related Certificateholder or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Trust Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of, Trust Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Trust Certificates.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the transfer of the Trust Certificates.

Section 3.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the Trust’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.06. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying

Agent and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.07. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Depositor, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Depositor, a list, in such form as the requesting party may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. The Certificate Registrar shall also furnish to Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent a copy of such list after there is a change therein. If (i) three or more Certificateholders or (ii) one or more Holders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Certificate Percentage Interests apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. The Certificate Registrar shall upon the request of the Owner Trustee provide such list, or access to such list, of Certificateholders as contemplated by this Section.

Section 3.08. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall cause the Certificate Registrar to maintain, at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location in Minnesota or Illinois chosen by the Certificate Registrar, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange of the Trust Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Depositor initially designates the Indenture Trustee’s applicable Corporate Trust office as the office for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. To the extent the Owner Trustee is not the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar agrees to promptly provide the Owner Trustee with any notices or demands received by the Certificate Registrar.

Section 3.09. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee in accordance with the Servicer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee or the Depositor may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee or the Depositor determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have

failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect; provided, however, the Owner Trustee or the Depositor shall have no duty to monitor or oversee the compliance by the Paying Agent of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Basic Document. The Paying Agent initially shall be U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Trust. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Trust, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee. In the event that U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Depositor shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Depositor shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed hereunder to execute and deliver to the Trust an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trust that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Depositor and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Depositor. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 8.01 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 3.10. Form of Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Trust Certificates representing definitive, fully registered Trust Certificates (the “Definitive Trust Certificates”) and shall be registered in the name of BMW FS Securities LLC and BMW Bank of North America as the initial registered owners thereof in Certificate Percentage Interests of 84.98208873% and 15.01791127%, respectively. The Owner Trustee shall execute and authenticate (or U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the Trust’s authenticating agent shall authenticate) the Definitive Trust Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby orders the Owner Trustee to execute and authenticate (or U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the Trust’s authenticating agent shall authenticate) the Definitive Trust Certificates. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of the Trust Certificates, the Owner Trustee and each Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Trust Certificates as Certificateholders. The Trust Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof.

Section 3.11. Transfer Restrictions. (a) No Trust Certificate may be resold, assigned or transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) unless such resale, assignment or transfer is (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or (iii) pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and subject to the receipt by the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor of (A) a certification by each of the prospective transferee and prospective transferor of the facts surrounding such transfer in support of clause (i), (ii) or

(iii) above, which certification shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or Exhibit E hereto, respectively, and (B) an opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Owner Trustee), satisfactory to the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee, to the effect that the transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any State of the United States of America. In addition, each transferee shall provide to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar its tax identification number, address, nominee name (if applicable) and wire transfer instructions. Prior to any resale, assignment or transfer of the Trust Certificates described in clause (ii) above, each prospective purchaser of the Trust Certificates shall have acknowledged, represented and agreed as follows:

(1)

It is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and is acquiring the Trust Certificates for its own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).

(2)

It acknowledges that the Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

(3)

It is familiar with Rule 144A and is aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and it is not acquiring the Trust Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future it decides to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Certificates, such Trust Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Trust Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom it reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Owner Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any State of the United States of America.

(4)

It is aware that it (or any account for which it is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Trust Certificates for an indefinite period, and it (or such account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.

(5)

It understands that the Trust Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12.

(6)

If it is acquiring any Trust Certificates for the account of one or more qualified institutional buyers, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.

(7)

It has neither acquired nor will it transfer any Trust Certificate it purchases (or any interest therein) or cause any such Trust Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

(8)

It is acquiring the Trust Certificate for its own account and either (A) is not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (B) is such an entity for such purposes, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or such other percentage as the Depositor may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Trust Certificates.

(9)

It understands that no subsequent transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a Trust Certificate with a Certificate Percentage Interest of at least 5%, (B) it causes its proposed transferee to provide to the Trust and the Depositor a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, or such other written statement as the Depositor shall prescribe and (C) the Trust consents in writing to the proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Depositor determines that such transfer would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for U.S. federal or applicable state or local income or franchise tax purposes as an association or a publicly traded partnership, in either case, taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that any attempted transfer that would either cause the number of registered holders of Trust Certificates in the aggregate to exceed 100 shall be a void transfer.

(10)

It understands that the Opinion of Counsel to the Trust that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (7), (8) and (9) above.

(11)

It is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

(12)

It acknowledges that the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements.

(13)

It represents and warrants that it is not a Benefit Plan and it is not acquiring and will not hold the Trust Certificate for the account of a Benefit Plan.

(14)

It is not a member of an “expanded group” (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) of such expanded group where any member of such “expanded group” directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts) owns Notes (other than Retained Notes).

Each Person who acquires any Trust Certificate or interest therein will certify that the foregoing conditions are satisfied.

Each transferee of the Trust Certificates shall be required to execute or to have executed a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C, or may deliver such other representations (or an opinion of counsel) as may be approved by the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

In addition, such prospective purchaser shall be responsible for providing additional information or certification, as shall be reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor, to support the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, it being understood that such additional information is not intended to create additional restrictions on the transfer of the Trust Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Trust, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee shall be obligated to register the Trust Certificates under the Securities Act or any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

In determining compliance with the transfer restrictions contained in this Section, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may rely upon a written opinion of counsel (which may include in-house counsel of the transferor), the cost of obtaining which shall be an expense of the Holder of the Certificate to be transferred.

(b) The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan. By accepting and holding a Trust Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

Section 3.12. Legending of Trust Certificates. Each Trust Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless the Depositor determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law:

The parties to this Agreement agree and acknowledge that the Administrator shall perform the duties and obligations of the Owner Trustee under this Section in accordance with the Administration Agreement and the Owner Trustee has no duty or obligation to monitor or supervise the obligations of the Administrator.

Section 5.05. Signature on Returns; Partnership Representative.

(a) The Administrator shall sign on behalf of the Trust the tax returns of the Trust, if any, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents. If the

(a) to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Certificateholders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement; and

(b) to cooperate with the Administrator in carrying out the Administrator’s obligation to qualify and preserve the Trust’s qualification to do business in each jurisdiction, if

any, in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes, the Receivables and any other instrument and agreement included in the Trust Estate; provided that the Owner Trustee may rely on advice of counsel with respect to such obligation.

Section 6.03. Action upon Instruction.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of such Certificateholders received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders of record as of the preceding Record Date requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

Section 6.04. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner Trustee, it being understood that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any implied duties (including fiduciary duties) or liabilities otherwise existing at law or in equity with respect to the Issuer are hereby eliminated and replaced with the express duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

Section 6.05. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions.

Section 6.06. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action that, to its actual knowledge, (a) is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.03 or (b) would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders, the Servicer and the Administrator shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

Section 6.07. Owner Trustee to Provide Information. The Owner Trustee shall provide prompt notice to BMW Financial Services NA, LLC and BMW FS Securities LLC (each, a “BMW Party,” and together, the “BMW Parties”) of all demands communicated to the Owner Trustee for the repurchase or replacement of any Receivable and Financed Vehicle for breach of the representations and warranties concerning such Receivable or Financed Vehicle (each, a “Demand”).

power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(c) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner

Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

Section 11.10. No Recourse. (a) Each Certificateholder by accepting a Trust Certificate acknowledges that such Trust Certificate represents a beneficial interest in the Trust only and does not represent an interest in or an obligation of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse

may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement, the Trust Certificates or the Basic Documents.

(b) In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Depositor enters into other securitization transactions, each Certificateholder, by accepting a Trust Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of the Depositor (other than the Trust Estate and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Depositor to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained herein, a Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, then each Certificateholder, by accepting a Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Trust Agreement.

Section 11.11. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 11.12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 11.13. Communications with Rating Agencies. If the Owner Trustee shall receive any written or oral communication from any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby

or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes, the Owner Trustee agrees to refrain from communicating with such Rating Agency and to promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) notify the Administrator of such communication. The Owner Trustee agrees to coordinate with the Administrator with respect to any communication to a Rating Agency and further agrees that in no event shall the Owner Trustee engage in any oral communication with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes with any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) without the participation of the Administrator.

Section 11.14. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Requirements. Pursuant to applicable law, including the Customer Identification Program requirements established under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) and its implementing regulations (collectively, USA PATRIOT Act), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) Customer Due Diligence Requirements and such other laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (“Applicable Law”), the Owner Trustee is required to obtain on or before closing, and from time to time thereafter, documentation to verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Owner Trustee will ask for documentation to verify the entity’s formation and existence, its financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity and other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected and indemnified in relying on, any such information received. Failure to provide such information may result in an inability of the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder, which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may result in the Owner Trustee’s resignation in accordance with Section 10.02 of this Agreement. In the event of any change in beneficial ownership in the Trust (or any beneficial interest in that interest, regardless of form), such change shall be accompanied by IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor forms), and such other documentation as may be required by the Owner Trustee in order to comply with Applicable Law.

The Owner Trustee acknowledges that

interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection therewith, the Owner Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records, attestations, and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor, to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Owner Trustee or the servicing of the Receivables, reasonably believed by the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Trust Agreement to be duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.

The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated March 25, 2022 as amended and restated as of May 18, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below.

A-2

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Trust Certificates designated as BMW Vehicle Owner Trust 2022-A Asset Backed Trust Certificates (herein called the “Trust Certificates”). Also issued under the Indenture dated as of May 18, 2022, between the Trust, as issuer and Indenture Trustee, are five classes of Notes designated as 1.351% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), 2.52% Class A-2a Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2a Notes”), Benchmark + 0.52% Class A-2b Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-2b Notes and, together with the Class A-2a Notes, the “Class A-2 Notes”), 3.21% Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and 3.44% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound.

Under the Trust Agreement, there will be distributed on the 25th day of each month (or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), commencing in June 2022 to the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date, such Certificateholder’s Certificate Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed to Certificateholders on such date. Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer or by check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register on the related Record Date without the presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final payment on this Trust Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such payment and only upon presentation and surrender of this Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained for such purpose by the Trust in The City of New York.

The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

It is the intent of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and applicable local income and franchise tax and for purposes of any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, until the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust will be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner. At such time that the Trust Certificates are beneficially owned by more than one person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is the intent of the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and applicable local income and franchise tax and for purposes of any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Trust will be treated as a partnership, with the assets of such partnership being the assets held by the Trust, and the partners of such partnership being the Certificateholders. The Depositor and the other Certificateholders, by acceptance of this Trust Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Trust Certificates as such for such tax purposes.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time petition or otherwise invoke or cause the

A-3

Trust or the Depositor to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Trust or the Depositor under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or the Depositor or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust or the Depositor.

Each Certificateholder by accepting this Trust Certificate acknowledges that such Trust Certificate represents beneficial interests in the Trust only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Sellers, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated in the Trust Agreement, this Trust Certificate or the Basic Documents.

In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Depositor enters into other securitization transactions, each Certificateholder, by accepting this Trust Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to any assets or interests therein of the Depositor (other than the Trust Estate and Reserve Account relating to this transaction) conveyed or purported to be conveyed by the Depositor to another securitization trust or other Person or Persons in connection therewith (whether by way of a sale, capital contribution or by virtue of the granting of a lien) (“Other Assets”). To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained herein, a Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, then each Certificateholder, by accepting this Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of this Trust Certificate, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of the Trust Agreement.

The Trust Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan. By accepting and holding this Trust Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

A-4

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of Owner Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of this Certificate, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the FDIC Rule Parties and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such effect and meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

[Reverse of Trust Certificate]

This Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries and certain other amounts respecting the assets of the Trust, all as more specifically set forth in the Indenture. The Depositor will furnish, upon the request of any holder of a Trust Certificate, such information as is specified in paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Issuer.

The Trust Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, in some cases without the consent of any of the Securityholders in the manner set forth therein, and any such amendment will bind each holder and transferee of this Trust Certificate.

As provided in the Trust Agreement, and if the Depositor delivers an Opinion of Counsel that the Trust Certificates are transferable in accordance with the terms set forth therein, which opinion the Depositor has not determined can be given under the Code and existing and proposed regulations thereunder, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Certificate Registrar in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder hereof or such Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Trust Certificates of the same class and in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Issuer will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

The Trust Certificates are issuable only as registered Trust Certificates without coupons or principal balance. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Indenture and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust Estate.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed purchase of the ____% Certificate Percentage Interest Asset Backed Trust Certificates (the “Trust Certificates”) of BMW Vehicle Owner Trust 2022-A (the “Issuer”), a trust formed by BMW FS Securities LLC (the “Depositor”), we confirm that:

a. We are a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A (“QIB”) and are acquiring the Trust Certificate for our own institutional account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs).

b. We acknowledge that the Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

c. We are familiar with Rule 144A and are aware that the sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and we are not acquiring the Trust Certificates with a view to, or for resale in connection with, a distribution that would constitute a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act or a violation of the Securities Act, and that, if in the future we decide to resell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any Trust Certificates, such Trust Certificates may be resold, assigned, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) so long as such Trust Certificate is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a QIB acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge, assignment or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Owner Trustee will require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in

C-1

form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Owner Trustee will require a written opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Depositor or the Owner Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States.

d. We have neither acquired nor will we transfer any Trust Certificate we purchase (or any interest therein) or cause any such Trust Certificate (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter-market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

e. We are acquiring the Certificate for our own account and either (A) are not, and will not become, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (B) are such an entity, but none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such transferee have allowed or caused, or will allow or cause, 50% or more (or such other percentage as the Depositor may establish prior to the time of such proposed transfer) of the value of such interests to be attributable to such transferee’s ownership of Trust Certificates.

f. We understand that no subsequent transfer of the Trust Certificates is permitted unless (A) such transfer is of a Trust Certificate with a Certificate Percentage Interest of at least 5%, (B) we cause the proposed transferee to provide to the Trust and the Depositor a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trust Agreement, as applicable, or such other written statement as the Depositor shall prescribe and (C) the Trust consents in writing to the proposed transfer, which consent shall be granted unless the Depositor determines that such transfer would create a risk that the Trust would be classified for U.S. federal or applicable state or local income or franchise tax purposes as an association or a publicly traded partnership, in either case, taxable as a corporation; provided, however, that any attempted transfer that would either cause the number of registered holders of Trust Certificates in the aggregate to exceed 100 shall be a void transfer.

g. We understand that the Opinion of Counsel to the Trust that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above.

h. We are a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

i. We are not a Benefit Plan and we are not acquiring and will not hold the Trust Certificate for the account of a Benefit Plan.

j. We are aware that we (or any account for which we are purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Trust Certificates for an indefinite period, and we (or such account) are able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.

k. We understand that the Trust Certificates will bear legends substantially as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Trust Agreement.

C-2

l. If we are acquiring any Trust Certificates for the account of one or more QIBs, we represent that we have sole investment direction with respect to each such account and that we have full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.

m. We are not a member of an “expanded group” (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) of such expanded group where any member of such “expanded group” directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts) owns Notes (other than Retained Notes).

n. We acknowledge that the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and their Affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Owner Trustee.

You are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
