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, BAC does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, contribute and otherwise convey to the Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of BAC’s 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, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, as evidenced by an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). The sale, transfer, assignment, contribution and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of BAC to the Obligors, the Dealer, insurers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.

The purchase price for the sale of the Purchased Assets sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date shall equal the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Such purchase price shall be paid in cash to BAC in an amount agreed to between BAC and the Purchaser, and, to the extent not paid in cash by the Purchaser, shall be paid by a capital contribution by BAC of an undivided interest in such Purchased Assets that increases its equity interest in the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess of the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets over the amount of cash paid by the Purchaser to BAC.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of BAC. BAC 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, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Grantor Trust pursuant to the Receivables Contribution Agreement and the Grant thereof by the Grantor Trust to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:

(a) Existence and Power. BAC is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. BAC has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where it does business and where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of BAC to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets.

-2- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by BAC of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of BAC and, to its knowledge, do not contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement to which BAC is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational documents, indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or BAC’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 BAC of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of BAC to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which BAC is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of BAC enforceable against BAC 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, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of BAC, threatened against BAC 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 BAC of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relate to BAC 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. BAC is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against BAC which would have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectability of the Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of BAC to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

-3- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of BAC Regarding the Purchased Assets. On the date hereof, BAC hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser, on which the Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. Such representations and warranties will survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Grantor Trust under the Receivables Contribution Agreement, and the Grant of the Purchased Assets and other collateral by the Grantor Trust to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

(a) The Receivables were selected using selection procedures that were not known or intended by BAC to be adverse to the Issuer or the Grantor Trust.

(b) The Receivables and the other Purchased Assets have been validly assigned by BAC to the Purchaser.

(c) The information with respect to the Receivables transferred on the Closing Date as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables was true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date.

(d) No Receivables are pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a security interest or otherwise conveyed other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents. BAC has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against BAC that includes a description of collateral covering any Receivable other than any financing statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have been or, prior to the assignment of such Receivables hereunder, will be terminated, amended or released. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest in the Receivables (other than the Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that an ownership interest therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) in favor of the Purchaser which security interest is prior to all other Liens created by BAC (other than Permitted Liens) with respect to the Receivables and is enforceable as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from BAC.

(e) The representations and warranties regarding creation, perfection and priority of security interests in the Purchased Assets, which are attached to this Agreement as Schedule I, are true and correct.

SECTION 3.3 Representations and Warranties of BAC as to each Receivable. On the date hereof, BAC hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule II to the Purchaser as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, contributed 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 conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Grantor Trust under the Receivables Contribution Agreement, and the Grant of the Purchased Assets by the Grantor Trust to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, BAC 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

-4- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. BAC hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights under this Agreement assigned to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right to cause BAC to repurchase any Receivable with respect to which it is in breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II, directly against BAC as though the Issuer were a party to this Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Purchaser.

SECTION 3.4 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to a Responsible Officer of the Purchaser or BAC of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 with respect to any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, the party discovering such breach or receiving written notice of such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by BAC and the Purchaser of such breach; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee will be deemed to have knowledge of such breach only if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof, including without limitation upon receipt of written notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of BAC hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then BAC shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser), in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if BAC elects, an earlier date) after the date BAC became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure has not affected the ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by BAC shall be at a price equal to the related Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, BAC shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser) equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to noon, Mountain Standard Time, on such date of repurchase (or, if BAC elects, an earlier date). Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by BAC, the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of 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 BAC to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in BAC or its designee any Receivable and related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.4. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of BAC to repurchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee of the Purchaser).

SECTION 3.5 Protection of Title.

(a) BAC shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other financing 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 Purchased Assets (to the extent that the interest of the Purchaser therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). BAC 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.

-5- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

(b) BAC shall notify the Purchaser in writing within ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence of (i) any change in BAC’s organizational structure as a corporation, (ii) any change in BAC’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any change in BAC’s name, and (A) shall take 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 practicable 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 and (B) shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee within 30 days after such change an Opinion of Counsel either (a) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer in the Receivables or (b) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

(c) BAC shall maintain (or shall cause the 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.

(d) If at any time BAC 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, BAC 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 3.6 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, BAC 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 BAC 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 BAC.

-6- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

SECTION 3.7 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (acting at the written direction of a Certificateholder pursuant to the Trust Agreement) or the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of a Requesting Investor pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Indenture) (the “Requesting Party”) requests that BAC repurchase any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 and the repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the request by BAC, the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to this Section 3.7; provided, however, that (i) if the Indenture Trustee declines to act in accordance with this Section 3.7 at the written direction of a Noteholder or Note Owner due to the failure of such Noteholder or Note Owner to offer the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursement, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in connection with such act, such Noteholder or Note Owner shall be deemed to be a “Requesting Party” or (ii) if the Owner Trustee declines to act in accordance with this Section 3.7 at the written direction of a Certificateholder due to the failure of such Certificateholder to offer the Owner Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursement, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in connection with such act, such Certificateholder shall be deemed to be a “Requesting Party.” If the Requesting Party is the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee acting at the written direction of a Noteholder, Note Owner or Certificateholder, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, as Requesting Party, will act solely at the written direction of such Noteholder, Note Owner, or Certificateholder in making all decisions related to mediation or arbitration. XXX will inform the Requesting Party in writing upon a determination by BAC that a Receivable subject to a demand to repurchase will be repurchased and the monthly distribution report filed by the Purchaser on Form 10-D for the Collection Period in which such Receivables were repurchased shall include disclosure of such repurchase. A failure of BAC to inform the Requesting Party that a Receivable subject to a demand will be repurchased within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the request shall be deemed to be a determination by BAC that no repurchase of that Receivable due to a breach of Section 3.3 is required. The monthly distribution report filed by the Purchaser on Form 10-D for the Collection Period in which a repurchase demand is made and for each subsequent Collection Period until such repurchase demand is resolved or the related Receivable is repurchased, shall include disclosure regarding the date of the repurchase demand as well as the status of such repurchase demand for each applicable Receivable. If both the Owner Trustee (on behalf of one or more Certificateholders) and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of one or more Noteholders or Note Owners) are Requesting Parties, then the Indenture Trustee as Requesting Party shall have the right to make the selection of mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If more than one Noteholder or Note Owner has directed the Indenture Trustee in connection with a request to pursue dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, holding a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes held by such directing Noteholders and/or Note Owners. If more than one Certificateholder has directed the Owner Trustee in connection with a request to pursue dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall act at the written direction of the Certificateholders holding the majority of the voting interests of such directing Certificateholders. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee is required to, nor intends to, exercise discretion with respect to any action pursuant to this Section 3.7(a).

-7- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

(b) The Requesting Party will provide notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of its intention to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, as applicable, to BAC, with a copy to the Issuer, the Purchaser, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee. XXX agrees that it will participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party. BAC shall provide notice to the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee that BAC has received a request to mediate or arbitrate a repurchase request. Upon receipt of such notice, the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee (acting at the written direction of a Certificateholder), and the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of a Noteholder or Note Owner) shall advise the Requesting Party and BAC of an intent to join in the mediation or arbitration, which shall result in their being joined as a Requesting Party in the Proceeding. A Requesting Party may not initiate a mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to this Section 3.7 with respect to a Receivable that is, or has been, the subject of an ongoing or previous mediation or arbitration (whether by that Requesting Party or another Requesting Party) but will have the right, subject to a determination by the parties to the existing mediation or arbitration that such joinder would not prejudice the rights of the participants to such existing mediation or arbitration or unduly delay such Proceeding, to join an existing mediation or arbitration with respect to that Receivable if the mediation or arbitration has not yet concluded. In the case of any such joinder, if the initial Requesting Party is (i) the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of one or more Noteholders or Note Owners), any decisions related to the mediation or arbitration will be made by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Requesting Investor holding a majority of the Note Balance of all of the Notes held by such directing Noteholders and/or Note Owners, and (ii) the Owner Trustee (on behalf of one or more Certificateholders), any decisions related to the mediation or arbitration will be made by the Owner Trustee at the written direction of the Certificateholders holding the majority of the voting interests of the directing Certificateholders.

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

(i) The mediation will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association selected by the Requesting Party pursuant to such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time.

(ii) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(iii) The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the repurchase dispute and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”).

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

(i) The arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration and mediation association jointly selected by the parties, and if the parties are unable to agree on an association, by the AAA, and conducted pursuant to such association’s arbitration procedures in effect at such time.

-8- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

(ii) The arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York that are relevant to the dispute hereunder and will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by AAA.

(iii) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment or as soon as practicable thereafter. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by it, and BAC shall not be required to pay more than the applicable Repurchase Price with respect to any receivable which BAC is required to repurchase under the terms of this Agreement. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The determination may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

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

(e) The following provisions will apply to both mediations (including nonbinding arbitration) and arbitrations:

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York or such other location mutually agreed to by the Requesting Party and BAC;

(ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law; and

(iii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any meetings or discussions regarding any unfulfilled repurchase request, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 3.7, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, any information exchanged in connection with any mediation, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration (collectively, “Confidential Information”), shall be and remain confidential and inadmissible (except disclosures required by applicable law) for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 3.7) other than as required to be disclosed in accordance with applicable law, regulatory requirements, or court order or to the extent that BAC, in its sole discretion, elects to disclose such information. Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party, except that a party may disclose such information to its own attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives (collectively “Representatives”), as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 3.7,

-9- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

and to the Asset Representations Reviewer, if an Asset Review has been conducted, if the disclosing party (a) directs such Representatives to keep the information confidential, (b) is responsible for any disclosure by its Representatives of such information and (c) takes at its sole expense all reasonable measures to restrain such Representatives from disclosing such information. If any party receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for Confidential Information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its Confidential Information or seek other appropriate protective remedies, consistent with the applicable requirements of law and regulation. If, in the absence of a protective order, such party or any of its representatives are compelled as a matter of law, regulation, legal process or by regulatory authority to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information, such party may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Indenture Trustee is the Requesting Party, the Indenture Trustee may disclose Confidential Information with respect to an Asset Review to the Requesting Investor which directed the Indenture Trustee in connection with such Asset Review.

SECTION 3.8 Cooperation with Voting. Each of BAC and the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee to facilitate any vote by the Instituting Noteholders pursuant to the terms of Section 7.6 of the Indenture.

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, transfers, assignments, contributions and conveyances without recourse 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 Purchased Assets shall not be part of BAC’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of BAC. The sales and transfers by BAC of the Receivables and other Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, BAC, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against BAC are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectability of the Receivables.

-10- Purchase Agreement (BLAST 2023-1)

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Purchased Assets are held to be property of BAC, 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 BAC of, and BAC 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 BAC hereunder;

(iii) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable Files and any other property that constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and
