CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED
ASSETS
SECTION 2.1
Conveyance of Transferred Assets . In consideration of the
Issuer’s sale and delivery to, or upon the order of, the
Seller of all of the Notes and the Residual Interest on the Closing
Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and
otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the
obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the Seller,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the
Transferred Assets, identified in an Assignment substantially in
the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date.
The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does
not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by
the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller, BANA, CARI or any
Originator to the Obligors 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
Representations and Warranties of the Seller regarding the
Receivables . The Seller makes the following representations
and warranties with respect to the Receivables, on which the Issuer
relies in purchasing the Receivables and pledging the same to the
Indenture Trustee. Such representations and warranties speak as of
the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and
assignment of the Receivables by the Seller to the Issuer pursuant
to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by the Issuer
to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
(i) Schedule of
Receivables. No selection procedures adverse to the Noteholders
have been used by the Seller in selecting the Receivables from all
receivables owned by the Seller which were acquired from BANA
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(ii) No Sale or
Transfer. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or
pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the
Issuer.
(iii) Good Title.
Immediately prior to the conveyance of the Receivables pursuant to
this Agreement, the Seller had good and marketable title thereto,
free of any Lien; and, upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Seller, the Issuer shall have all of the right,
title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables, the
unpaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and the collateral security
therefor, free of any Lien.
(iv)
Delinquencies. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Receivable has any
payment more than 30 days past due, that is, the payments due
on that Receivable in excess of $25.00 have been received within
30 days of the scheduled payment date, except that up to 0.96%
and 0.12% of the aggregate Amount Financed may consist of
Receivables between 31 and 60 days past due and 61 to
90 days past due, respectively.
2
SECTION 2.3
Repurchase upon Breach . (a) Upon discovery by any
party hereto of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 2.2 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 shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto; provided, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller hereunder. If
the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then the Seller shall
either (i) correct or cure such breach or (ii) purchase
such Receivable from the Issuer, in either case on or before the
last day of the second Collection Period following the date the
Seller became aware of or was notified of such breach. 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
Issuer to receive and retain timely payment in full on such
Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price
equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such
repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a
payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing
such amount into the Collection Account on the date of such
repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller,
the Issuer 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 the Seller to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or
more effectively vest in the Seller or its designee all of the
Issuer’s rights in any Receivable and related Transferred
Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.3 . It is
understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to
repurchase (or to enforce the obligations of BANA under the
Purchase Agreement, CARI under the CARI Purchase Agreement or GMAC
under the GMAC Sale Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable as
described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Neither
the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to
conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any
condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to
this Section 2.3 .
(b) In
addition to the foregoing repurchase obligations, if the interest
of the Issuer in any Receivable is materially and adversely
affected by a breach by CARI of a representation or warranty
relating to such Receivable in the CARI Purchase Agreement, or a
breach by GMAC of a representation or warranty relating to such
Receivable in the GMAC Sale Agreement, the Seller shall repurchase
such Receivable from the Issuer but only if CARI or GMAC, as
applicable, shall in fact repurchase such Receivable. The Seller
shall promptly remit (or shall cause BANA to remit) into the
Collection Account the purchase price paid by CARI with respect to
such Receivable.
SECTION 3.1
Representations and Warranties of Seller . The Seller makes
the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date
on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the
Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the
conveyance of the
3
Transferred
Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a)
Existence and Power . The Seller is a Delaware limited
liability company validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate
its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the
Transferred Assets. The Seller has obtained all necessary licenses
and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect
the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any
other part of the Transferred Assets.
(b)
Authorization and No Contravention . The execution, delivery
and performance by the Seller of the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on
the part of the Seller and do not contravene or constitute a
default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation,
(ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any indenture
or agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by
which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws,
rules, regulations, indentures or agreements which do not affect
the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements
and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially
and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the
Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).
(c) No
Consent Required . No approval or authorization by, or filing
with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of any
Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings,
(ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been
obtained and filings that have previously been made and
(iii) approval, 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 Transferred Assets or would not materially and
adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d)
Binding Effect . Each Transaction Document to which the
Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and,
if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited liability
companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of
equity.
(e) Lien
Filings . The Seller is not aware of any material judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against the Seller.
(f) No
Proceedings . There are no actions, orders, suits or
Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened
against the Seller 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
4
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 the Seller
of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or the collectibility or enforceability of
the Receivables or have a material adverse effect on the
Noteholders, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would
materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State
income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the
Notes.
(g) Trade
Name . “BAS Securitization LLC” is the only trade
name under which the Seller is currently operating its business.
For the six (6) years (or such shorter period of time during
which the Seller was in existence) preceding the date hereof, the
Seller operated its business under the trade name “BAS
Securitization LLC”. “BAS Securitization LLC” is
the name of the Seller indicated on the public record of the
Seller’s jurisdiction of organization which shows the Seller
to have been organized.
(h)
Investment Company Act . The Seller is not an
“investment company” that is registered or required to
be registered under, or otherwise subject to the restrictions of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION 3.2
Liability of the Seller; Indemnities . The Seller shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations
specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement, and
hereby agrees to the following:
(a) The
Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Residual Interestholder from and against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation of
federal or State securities laws in connection with the
registration or the sale of the Notes.
(b) The
Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the
Issuer or upon all or any part of the Trust Estate.
(c) Indemnification
under this Section 3.2 will survive the resignation or
removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the
termination of this Agreement and will include reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Seller has
made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 3.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such
payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from
others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller,
without interest.
(d) The
Seller’s obligations under this Section 3.2 are
obligations solely of the Seller and will not constitute a claim
against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not have
funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In
furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, the Issuer,
by entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledges and
agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to the Other
Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the
agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the
Issuer either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit
from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such
interest, claim to, 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
5
Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or
any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy
Code), then the Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that any
such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will
be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full,
which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the
securitization or conveyance 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 a priority
of distributions or application under applicable law, including
insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller),
including the payment of post-petition interest on such other
obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be
deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer further acknowledges and
agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this
Section 3.2(d) and the terms of this Section
3.2(d) may be enforced by an action for specific performance.
The provisions of this Section 3.2(d) will be for the third
party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive
the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.3
Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of,
Seller . Any Person (i) into which the Seller may be
merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger,
conversion, or consolidation to which the Seller is a party,
(iii) succeeding to the business of the Seller, or
(iv) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50%
or more of the economic equity of which is owned directly or
indirectly by BAC, which Person in any of the foregoing cases
executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of
the Seller under this Agreement, will be the successor to the
Seller under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any
document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters
into any of the foregoing transactions and is not the surviving
entity, (x) the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
stating that such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession
and such agreement of assumption comply with this
Section 3.3 and that all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have
been complied with and (y) the Seller will deliver to the
Indenture Trustee 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 fully to preserve and protect the
interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in
the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or
(B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest. The
Seller will provide notice of any merger, conversion,
consolidation, or succession pursuant to this
Section 3.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing
agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and
(y) of this Section 3.3 will be conditions to the
consummation of any of the transactions referred to in clauses
(i) , (ii) or (iii) of this
Section 3.3 in which the Seller is not the surviving
entity.
SECTION 3.4
Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others . The Seller
and any officer or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good
faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind,
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Seller will not be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal
action that is not incidental to its obligations under this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability.
6
SECTION 3.5
Seller May Own Notes and/or Residual Interest . The Seller,
and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in its individual or any other
capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes and/or the Residual
Interest with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as
set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Notes and
the Residual Interest so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate
will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without
preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes and
the Residual Interest. Unless all Notes are owned by the Issuer,
the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, any Notes owned
by the Issuer, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates
shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, vote or
waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document.
SECTION 3.6
Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements and 1934 Act Filings . (a)
(i) To the extent any documents are required to be filed with
respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the
Seller, or either of them, to prepare, sign and file any such
documents or any certifications on behalf of the Issuer and
(ii) to the extent any certification is required to be made
with respect to the Issuer or the Notes pursuant to the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Seller certify
any such documents on behalf of the Issuer.
(b) (i) The
Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, or
either of them, to prepare, sign and file any and all reports,
statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes
required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and (ii) the
Issuer hereby authorizes the Seller to certify any and all reports,
statements and information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes
required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
SECTION 3.7
Compliance with Organizational Documents . The Seller shall
comply with its limited liability company agreement and other
organizational documents.
SECTION 3.8
Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants . The
Seller hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and
covenants attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Issuer
and the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such
representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the
Transferred Assets.
(a) Any term
or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller with
prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee;
provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or
the
7
Owner Trustee;
provided , further, that any amendment entered into
pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) shall not significantly
change the permitted activities of the Issuer.
(b) Any term
or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller with
prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may
be necessary or advisable in order to enable the Seller or any of
its Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment
under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle;
provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an
Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee; provided , further ,
that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Standard &
Poor’s shall have been satisfied; provided ,
further , that any amendment entered into pursuant to this
Section 4.1(b) shall not significantly change the permitted
activities of the Issuer.
(c) This
Agreement (including Appendix A ) may also be amended
from time to time by the Seller with prior notice to each Rating
Agency and with the consent of the Holders evidencing not less than
a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement. 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.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, no
amendment to this Agreement may significantly change the permitted
activities of the Issuer without the consent of the majority of all
Outstanding Noteholders.
(d) Prior to
the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller shall
provide written notification of the substance of such amendment to
each Rating Agency; and promptly after the execution of any such
amendment or consent, the Seller 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 Seller, 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 all conditions precedent to the execution
and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner
Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable,
own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. Furthermore,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may
not be amended in any way that would adversely affect the Owner
Trustee’s rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or
obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or
otherwise without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee.
8

with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in
advance) reasonably necessary or advisable to amend all previously
filed financing statements or continuation statements described in
paragraph (a) above or to file new financing statements, as
applicable.
SECTION 4.3
Other Liens or Interests . Except for the conveyances and
grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to
the Issuer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien on any interest therein, and the Seller
shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and
under such Receivables and other property transferred to the Issuer
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the
Seller.
SECTION 4.4
Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest .
(a) Each of
the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers
contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of
only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all
purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that
the Receivables and related Transferred Assets shall not be part of
the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Seller. The sales and transfers by the Seller of
Receivables and related Transferred Assets hereunder are and shall
be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or
implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the
Seller are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the
property sold, rather than to the collectibility of the
Receivables.
9
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other
Transferred Assets (or interests therein) are held to be property
of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the
Receivables and other Transferred Assets, then it is intended
that:
|
|
(i)
|
|
This Agreement shall be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable
jurisdiction;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
The
conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed
to be a grant by the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the
Issuer of a security interest in all of its right (including the
power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables and other
Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance
of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
|
The
possession by the Issuer, or the Master Servicer or the Receivables
Servicer as the Issuer’s 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 Issuer for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law.
|
SECTION 4.5
Information Requests . The parties hereto shall provide any
information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the
Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates, in order to comply
with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future
law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or principle.

Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by
registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage
prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile,

or at such other address as shall be designated in a written notice
to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to be
mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, 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

Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
