In furtherance thereof, the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.8 of the Vehicle Trust Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto; provided, however, that all references to the Beneficiary shall be deemed to reference the UTI Beneficiary, except that all references to the Beneficiary in Section 6.4(b) and Section 6.4(c) shall be deemed to reference the Registered Pledgee, all references to Trust Assets shall be deemed to reference the 2017-2 SUBI Assets and all references to the Vehicle Trust shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to refer to the Vehicle Trust with respect to the 2017-2 SUBI; and provided, further, that such provisions of the Vehicle Trust Agreement shall be construed by the parties hereto in a manner that gives effect to the intent thereof within the context of the related applicable provisions hereof.

(e) The Vehicle Trust is hereby authorized to enter into and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party and the Vehicle Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver such Basic Documents on behalf of the Vehicle Trust.
(f) The foregoing complies with Section 5.2 of the Vehicle Trust Agreement.
2.2 Transfer of 2017-2 SUBI Interests. Interests in the 2017-2 SUBI may not be transferred or assigned by the UTI Beneficiary, and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be deemed null, void and of no effect; provided, however, that the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate and the interests in the 2017-2 SUBI represented thereby may be (i) sold to the Transferor pursuant to the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, (ii) sold, transferred and assigned by the Transferor absolutely, or a security interest therein granted, to the Issuer and (iii) pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee. Each such transfer shall be registrable upon surrender of the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate to be transferred for registration of the transfer at the corporate trust office of the Vehicle Trustee or of any successor Vehicle Trustee, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Vehicle Trustee or such successor duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new 2017-2 SUBI Certificate of a like aggregate fractional undivided interest will be issued to the designated permitted transferee.
The 2017-2 SUBI shall be represented by the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate which shall represent a beneficial interest in the 2017-2 SUBI and the 2017-2 SUBI Assets, as further set forth herein. The 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required by this Supplement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and endorsements placed thereon as may, consistent herewith and with the Vehicle Trust Agreement, be directed by the UTI Beneficiary. Any portion of the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate may be set forth on the reverse thereof, in which case the following reference to the portion of the text on the reverse shall be inserted on the face thereof, in relative proximity to and prior to the signature of the Vehicle Trustee executing such 2017-2 SUBI Certificate:
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
The 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall be printed, typewritten, photocopied or may be produced in any other manner as may, consistent herewith and with the Vehicle Trust Agreement, be determined by the UTI Beneficiary. The 2017-2 SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2017-2 SUBI evidenced thereby shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of Section
7
8‑102(a)(15) of the UCC and a “certificated security” within the meaning of Section 8‑102(a)(4) of the UCC.
On the Closing Date, pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall, and thereafter for so long as the lien of the Indenture is in place, be registered as the Registered Pledgee of the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate held by the Issuer and pledged as part of the Trust Estate to secure the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights or powers of a Holder hereunder, in the absence of an Indenture Default (as defined in the Indenture) under the Indenture.
As required by Section 5.2(b) of the Vehicle Trust Agreement, the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall contain an express written waiver of any claim by any Holder to any proceeds or assets of the Vehicle Trustee and to all of the Trust Assets, including the UTI Assets, other than those from time to time included within the 2017-2 SUBI Portfolio as 2017-2 SUBI Assets and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by such 2017-2 SUBI Assets.
2.4 Actions and Filings. The UTI Beneficiary and the Vehicle Trustee at the written direction and expense of the Servicer, shall undertake all future actions and activities as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement to perfect (or evidence) and confirm the initial creation of and allocation of Trust Assets to the 2017-2 SUBI, including without limitation preparing UCC financing statements to be filed by the Servicer and executing and delivering all related filings, documents or writings as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Servicer hereunder or under any other Basic Document. The UTI Beneficiary hereby irrevocably makes and appoints each of the Vehicle Trustee and the Servicer, and any of their respective officers, employees or agents, as the true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact of the UTI Beneficiary (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) with power to sign on behalf of the UTI Beneficiary any financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements, mortgages, assignments, affidavits, letters of authority, notices or similar documents necessary or appropriate to be executed or filed pursuant to this Section.
(a) In connection with any purchase by the Servicer of the corpus of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.19 of the Servicing Supplement, the succession of the Servicer to the interest in the 2017-2 SUBI represented by the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, should all of the interest in the 2017-2 SUBI thereafter be held by the holder or holders of the UTI Certificates, whether by transfer, sale or otherwise, then upon the direction of such holders, the 2017-2 SUBI shall be terminated, the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall be returned to the Vehicle Trustee and canceled and the Servicer shall reallocate all 2017-2 SUBI Assets to the UTI.
(b) Pursuant to the Indenture, upon the sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may direct the Issuer promptly to sell the Trust Estate, including the 2017-2 SUBI Assets (other than amounts on deposit in the Distribution Accounts), in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms. In connection with any such sale, or the sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Indenture, the 2017-2 SUBI Assets shall be distributed at the direction of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, and the purchaser shall take delivery of such
8
2017-2 SUBI Assets. The Vehicle Trustee and the other parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to cause the related 2017-2 Vehicles to be retitled, if applicable, as directed by the purchaser. Following such sale, this Supplement shall terminate and the 2017-2 SUBI shall be terminated; provided however such termination shall affect the Vehicle Trust only insofar as such termination relates to the 2017-2 SUBI. Such termination shall not entitle the legal representatives of the 2017-2 SUBI or any Holder of the 2017-2 SUBI Certificate to take any action for a partition or winding up of the Vehicle Trust or any Trust Assets except with respect to the 2017-2 SUBI Assets and the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto shall not otherwise be affected. As set forth in Section 5.01 of the Indenture, promptly after the occurrence of any bankruptcy, insolvency or termination proceeding with respect to the Issuer, the Issuer shall give the Vehicle Trustee written notice of such event. Pursuant to the Indenture, the proceeds of a sale of the 2017-2 SUBI Assets shall be distributed by the Indenture Trustee, as set forth in Section 5.04 of the Indenture.

FORM OF 2017-2 SUBI CERTIFICATE
FINANCIAL SERVICES VEHICLE TRUST
2017-2 SPECIAL UNIT OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST CERTIFICATE
No. R‑___
evidencing a fractional undivided interest in all 2017-2 SUBI Assets (as defined below).
This 2017-2 Special Unit of Beneficial Interest Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of BMW Financial Services NA, LLC, BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware or any of their respective affiliates, except to the extent described below.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT ________________ is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully‑paid, undivided interest in the 2017-2 SUBI Assets owned by Financial Services Vehicle Trust (the “Trust”).
The Trust was created pursuant to a trust agreement, dated as of August 30, 1995, as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time (the “Vehicle Trust Agreement”), among BMW Manufacturing L.P. (“BMW LP”), as grantor and initial beneficiary (in such capacities, the “Grantor” and the “UTI Beneficiary”, respectively), and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, formerly known as The Bank of New York (Delaware), as trustee (the “Vehicle Trustee”).
This certificate is a duly authorized 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, and is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Vehicle Trust Agreement and the 2017-2 vehicle trust supplement thereto, dated as of October 25, 2017 (the “2017-2 SUBI Supplement” and, together with the Vehicle Trust Agreement, the “SUBI Trust Agreement”). To the extent not otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the SUBI Trust Agreement. By acceptance of this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, the Holder hereof assents to the terms and conditions of the SUBI Trust Agreement and agrees to be bound thereby. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the SUBI Trust Agreement is set forth below.
The assets of the Trust allocated to the 2017-2 SUBI will generally consist of (i) cash capital, (ii) the 2017-2 Leases and (iii) the 2017-2 Vehicles and all of the Trust’s rights thereunder, including the right to proceeds arising therefrom or in connection therewith.
Under the Vehicle Trust Agreement, from time to time the UTI Beneficiary may direct the Vehicle Trustee to issue to or upon the order of the UTI Beneficiary one or more certificates (each, a “SUBI Certificate”) representing a beneficial interest in certain specified Vehicles, Leases and related Trust Assets (such assets, the “SUBI Assets”). Upon the issuance of the SUBI Certificates relating to the SUBI Assets, the beneficial interest in the Trust and the Trust Assets represented by the UTI shall be reduced by the amount of the Trust Assets represented by such SUBI Certificates. This certificate evidences an interest in all 2017-2 SUBI Assets, was
B-1
issued pursuant to the 2017-2 SUBI Supplement and represents a beneficial interest in the 2017-2 SUBI Assets.
The UTI and the 2017-2 SUBI shall each constitute a separate series of the Trust pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Act for which separate and distinct records shall be maintained. The 2017-2 SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2017-2 SUBI represented thereby constitutes a “security” within the meaning of Section 8‑102(a)(15) of the UCC and a “certificated security” within the meaning of Section 8‑102(a)(4) of the UCC.
The 2017-2 SUBI Supplement may be amended by the parties thereto upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the 2017-2 SUBI Supplement.
The Holder, by acceptance of this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, and any Registered Pledgee, by acceptance of the pledge of this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, covenants and agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations under each Securitized Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against any Holder, any Registered Pledgee, the UTI Beneficiary (and the general partner of the UTI Beneficiary that is a partnership, or the managing member of the UTI Beneficiary that is a limited liability company), the Vehicle Trustee, the Trust, any Special Purpose Affiliate (and the general partner of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a partnership, or the managing member of any Special Purpose Affiliate that is a limited liability company) that holds a beneficial interest in the Trust, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or any Affiliate or beneficiary of the same, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceeding or other Proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law. Such covenant shall survive the termination of the SUBI Trust Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Vehicle Trustee under the SUBI Trust Agreement or the complete or partial resignation of the Servicer.
The Holder hereof or owner of a beneficial interest herein hereby (i) expressly waives any claim it may have to any proceeds or assets of the Vehicle Trustee and to all of the Trust Assets, including UTI Assets, other than those from time to time included within the 2017-2 SUBI Portfolio as 2017-2 SUBI Assets and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by such 2017-2 SUBI Assets and (ii) expressly subordinates in favor of the Holder of an Other SUBI Certificate or a UTI Certificate any claim to any assets of an Other SUBI or UTI Assets that, notwithstanding the waiver contained in clause (i), may be determined to exist.
The Vehicle Trustee shall keep the certificate register with respect to this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate, and the Holder of this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall notify the Vehicle Trustee of any change of address or instructions on the distribution of funds.
Upon the dissolution of the Trust with respect to the 2017-2 SUBI, the 2017-2 SUBI shall be terminated and the 2017-2 SUBI Certificates shall be returned to the Vehicle Trustee for cancellation. Such a termination shall not effect a termination of the Trust or of any Other SUBI that is in existence at the time of such termination.
The Trust or the UTI may terminate upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SUBI Trust Agreement.
B-2
No SUBI or SUBI Certificate shall be transferred or assigned except to the extent specified in the SUBI Trust Agreement or in any related Supplement and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any such purported transfer or assignment other than as so specified shall be deemed null, void and of no effect under the SUBI Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SUBI Certificate and the interest in the SUBI evidenced thereby may be (i) transferred, assigned or pledged to any Special Purpose Affiliate or (ii) transferred, assigned or pledged by the Related Beneficiary or a Special Purpose Affiliate to or in favor of (A) a trustee for one or more trusts or (B) one or more other entities, in either case solely for the purpose of securing or otherwise facilitating one or more Securitized Financings.
This 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflict of laws.
Unless this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Vehicle Trustee, by manual signature, this 2017-2 SUBI Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the SUBI Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
