PURCHASE
SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Closing Date. On the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, BANA agrees to transfer, assign, set over,
sell and otherwise convey to the Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on
the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the
Collections after the Cut-Off Date, the Receivable Files and the Related Security relating thereto,
described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date (the
“Purchased Assets”) having a Net Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date equal to $[
], which sale shall be effective as of the Cut-Off Date. The sale, transfer, assignment and
conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the
Purchaser of any obligation of BANA or the applicable Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers 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 Consideration and Payment. In consideration of the transfer of the
Purchased Assets conveyed to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay in cash to
BANA on such date an amount equal to $[ ], representing the
estimated
fair market value of the Purchased Assets on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, if such purchase price for the Purchased Assets exceeds the amount of cash available to
the Purchaser from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, then an undivided interest in such
Purchased Assets in an amount equal to such excess shall be deemed to have been contributed to the
Purchaser by BANA.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of BANA. BANA makes the following
representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have
relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties will survive the
conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the conveyance of
the Purchased Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Grant
thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power. BANA is a national banking association validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and has, in all material respects,
all power and authority to carry on its business as it is now conducted. BANA has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially
and adversely affect the ability of BANA to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Purchased Assets.
Purchase
Agreement (20[ ]-[ ])
- 2 -
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
BANA of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of BANA and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A)
any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any material
agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject
(other than violations 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 BANA’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
BANA 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 collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased
Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of BANA to perform its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which BANA is a party constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of BANA enforceable against BANA 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
corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.
(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or Proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of BANA, threatened against BANA before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert
the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents,
(ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any
determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by BANA of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the collectibility or
enforceability of the Receivables, or (iv) relate to BANA that would materially and adversely
affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of
the Notes.
(f) Lien Filings. BANA is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against BANA.
SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of BANA as to each Receivable. BANA hereby
makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I as to the Receivables,
sold, contributed, transferred, assigned, set over, sold and otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser
under this Agreement on which such representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring
the Receivables. Such representations and warranties shall survive the sale of the Receivables to
the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the Receivables by the Issuer
to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding
Purchase
Agreement (20[ ]-[ ])
- 3 -
any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, BANA
shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an
Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the Purchaser or
BANA of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 at
the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such
notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of the
Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer
of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any
obligation of BANA hereunder. If BANA does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the
Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if BANA elects, an earlier date) after the date
that BANA became aware or was notified of such breach, then BANA shall purchase any Receivable
materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Purchaser on the Payment Date following
the end of such Collection Period. Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a
material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser
(or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such
purchase by BANA shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such
repurchase, BANA shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Purchaser equal to the
Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New
York City time on such Payment Date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by BANA, the Purchaser
shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by BANA to evidence
such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in BANA or its designee any
Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of BANA to
purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to the Purchaser.
SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.
(a) BANA shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and
filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be
required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser under this
Agreement in the Receivables. BANA shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser
file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing.
(b) BANA shall not change its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of
organization in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed
by BANA in accordance with paragraph (a) above “seriously misleading” within the meaning of
Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Purchaser at least five
days’ prior written notice thereof and, to the extent necessary, shall have promptly filed
amendments to previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above.
Purchase
Agreement (20[ ]-[ ])
- 4 -
(c) BANA shall give the Purchaser at least ten days’ prior written notice of any change of
location of BANA for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall have taken all action prior to
making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially
simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably
necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed financing
statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above.
(d) BANA shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) its computer systems so
that, from time to time after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the master
computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly
the interest of the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser) in such Receivable and
that such Receivable is owned by such Person. Indication of such Person’s interest in a Receivable
shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only until, the related
Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased.
(e) If at any time BANA shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise
transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other
transferee, BANA shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer
tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer
in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been
sold and is owned by the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser).
SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of
security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, BANA shall not
sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser to
any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens) on any interest therein, and BANA shall defend the right, title and interest of the
Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to the Purchaser against
all claims of third parties claiming through or under BANA.
SECTION 3.6 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. BANA hereby makes
the perfection representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Schedule II hereto to
the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties
and covenants in acquiring the Purchased Assets.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.1 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 and contributions 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
Purchased Assets shall not be part of BANA’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or
Purchase
Agreement (20[ ]-[ ])
- 5 -
insolvency of BANA. The sales and transfers by BANA of the Receivables and related Purchased
Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or
implied) by, BANA, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of
recourse specified herein against BANA are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the
collectibility of the Receivables.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Purchased
Assets are held to be property of BANA, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to
create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Purchased 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 BANA of, and BANA hereby grants to the Purchaser, 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 Purchased Assets, to secure such
indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of BANA hereunder;
(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files and any
other property as 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
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
SECTION 4.2 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 and addressed in
each case as specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or at such other
address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees 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, 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 within the time prescribed in
this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Noteholder shall receive such notice.

by BANA and the Purchaser without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, [the Swap

eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable BANA, the Purchaser or
any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any law or
regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future in effect), it being a
condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.
(c) Subject to Section 4.6(e), this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
BANA and the Purchaser, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a
majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting as a single class, for the purpose of adding any

Purchase
Agreement (20[ ]-[ ])
- 7 -
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the
consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it
will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents (and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates
pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency; and promptly after the
execution of any such amendment or consent, BANA shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent
to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that

Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which materially and adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as
applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents or otherwise.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) this Agreement may not be amended in

as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties, or obligations under this Agreement,
the Transaction Documents or otherwise without prior written consent of such Person; [(ii) this
Agreement may not be amended in any way that would materially and adversely affect the rights or

to such amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty
does not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request for
such consent)]; and (iii) this Agreement may not be amended in any way that would significantly
change the permitted activities or powers of the Issuer even if such amendment would not have an
adverse effect on the Holders of the Notes without the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority of the Outstanding Notes.
SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the Servicer,
BANA, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent
such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser or
BANA in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No
waiver or approval by either party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in
such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under
