ARTICLE II - SERVICING OF THE 2016-1 LEASES AND 2016-1 VEHICLES


2.1.            Identification of 2016-1 Vehicles and 2016-1 Leases; Servicing; Securitization Value.


(a)            The Servicer hereby identifies, allocates and segregates as 2016-1 SUBI Assets the Leased Vehicles more particularly described on Exhibit A hereto and the Leases relating to such Leased Vehicles (respectively, the “2016-1 Leases” and the “2016-1 Vehicles”); provided, however, that the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles as of any date of determination shall not include any Lease or Leased Vehicle, respectively, that has been reallocated from the 2016-1 SUBI to the UTI or to an Other SUBI pursuant to this Servicing Supplement on or prior to such date.  Exhibit A shall set forth as to each 2016-1 Lease or 2016-1 Vehicle, as the case may be, the (i) vehicle identification number, (ii) date of origination, (iii) Securitization Value as of the Cutoff Date, (iv) ALG Residual Value, (v) Monthly Payment, (vi) Contract Residual Value and (vii) number of months remaining from the Cutoff Date to the month in which the Maturity Date occurs.


(b)            Notwithstanding the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.1(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement and the parenthetical provision in the first paragraph of Section 2.6 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will service the 2016-1 SUBI Assets in



10















accordance with the customary and usual procedures of the Servicer in respect of automobile leases serviced by it for its own account.


(c)            The Servicer shall calculate a Securitization Value for each 2016-1 Lease.


2.2.            Extensions; Monthly Payments; Term.


(a)            Consistent with its customary servicing practices, the Servicer may, in its discretion, modify or extend the term of a 2016-1 Lease or re-lease a 2016-1 Lease; provided, that if (i) the Servicer makes an extension that exceeds six months or (ii) the related 2016-1 Lease as extended would mature later than the last day of the Collection Period preceding the Class A-4 Note Final Scheduled Payment Date or (iii) the 2016-1 Vehicle is re-leased, the Servicer shall, on the Deposit Date related to the Collection Period in which the Servicer discovers or is notified that such event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) has occurred, (x) deposit or cause to be deposited into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Securitization Value (with respect to extensions) or the Contract Residual Value (with respect to re-leases) of the related 2016-1 Lease as of the last day of the related Collection Period and (y) direct the Vehicle Trustee to reallocate such 2016-1 Lease and the related 2016-1 Vehicle from the 2016-1 SUBI to the UTI.  After such 2016-1 Lease and related 2016-1 Vehicle has been reallocated to the UTI, the Servicer may cause such 2016-1 Lease and 2016-1 Vehicle to be conveyed to the Servicer as described in Section 2.3.


(b)            The Servicer will be required to reallocate or cause to be reallocated a 2016-1 Vehicle before the Maturity Date of the related 2016-1 Lease and remit to the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Securitization Value of that 2016-1 Lease as of the effective date of termination if the Servicer agrees with the related Lessee to a change in the Lease Rate applicable to that 2016-1 Lease and that change results in a change to the Contract Residual Value and/or the related Lease Term.


2.3.            Representations and Reallocation of 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles.


(a)            The Servicer hereby makes to the other parties hereto and the parties to the SUBI Trust Agreement the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.15 hereof as to each 2016-1 Lease and 2016-1 Vehicle.  The Servicer also hereby represents and warrants that aside from the selection criteria included in such representations and warranties it used no adverse selection procedures in selecting any of the 2016-1 Leases for inclusion in the 2016-1 SUBI and that aside from such criteria it is not aware of any bias in the selection of the 2016-1 Leases which would cause delinquencies or losses on the 2016-1 Leases to be worse than any other Leases held by the Vehicle Trust; provided, however, that the Servicer can make no assurance as to the actual delinquencies or losses on the 2016-1 Leases other than as specifically set forth in Section 2.15.


Upon discovery by the Vehicle Trustee or the Servicer or upon notice to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that any such representation or warranty was incorrect as of the date hereof and materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer in the related 2016-1 Lease or 2016-1 Vehicle, the party discovering such incorrectness (if other than the Servicer) shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer.  Within 60 days after the Servicer’s discovery of



11















such incorrectness or receipt of the foregoing notice, the Servicer shall cure in all material respects the circumstance or condition as to which the representation or warranty was incorrect as of the date hereof.  If the Servicer is unable or unwilling to do so within such period, it shall promptly (i) deposit or cause to be deposited into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to the Reallocation Payment with respect to such 2016-1 Lease and (ii) direct the Vehicle Trustee to reallocate such 2016-1 Lease and the related 2016-1 Vehicle from the 2016-1 SUBI to the UTI.  The Servicer may further direct the Vehicle Trustee to cause such reallocated 2016-1 Vehicle and the related 2016-1 Lease to be conveyed to the Servicer as described in Section 2.3(h) below.  Such deposit of the Reallocation Payment shall satisfy the Servicer’s obligations to the Issuer pursuant to this Section, shall be deemed to constitute payment in full of the Reallocation Payment with respect thereto and shall cure any incorrectness of the related representation or warranty for purposes of this Servicing Supplement.  Neither the Vehicle Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the reallocation of any 2016-1 Vehicle or 2016-1 Lease pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) or the eligibility of any 2016-1 Vehicle or related 2016-1 Lease for purposes of the SUBI Trust Agreement.


(b)            [Reserved].


(c)            The Servicer shall be required to reallocate a 2016-1 Vehicle and the related 2016-1 Lease and remit to the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account a Reallocation Payment for such 2016-1 Vehicle and 2016-1 Lease if the related Lessee moves to a state that is not a Trust State and such state does not become a Trust State within 90 days after the Servicer has become aware of such move.  The Reallocation Payment must be made by the Servicer on the next Deposit Date following the end of such 90-day period.


(d)            The Servicer shall be required to pay to the Issuer any Monthly Payments (less any unearned rent charges calculated under the scheduled actuarial method) that have been forgiven in connection with a 2016-1 Lease pursuant to any new lease incentive program.


(e)            The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Related Beneficiary, the Holder and the Registered Pledgee with respect to events causing the Servicer to reallocate certain 2016-1 Vehicles as provided herein, shall be to require the Servicer to make the payment of the Reallocation Payment, as set forth herein.  The obligation of the Servicer under this Section shall survive any termination of the Servicer hereunder.


(f)            The Servicer may reallocate a Matured Vehicle at any time.  In connection with the reallocation by the Servicer of a Matured Vehicle pursuant to this Section, with respect to the related 2016-1 Lease, in the event that (i) no Sales Proceeds Advance has been made, the related reallocation price of such Matured Vehicle will equal the Contract Residual Value of such 2016-1 Lease as of the date of expiration and (ii) a Sales Proceeds Advance has been made, no additional amounts need be remitted by the Servicer except the excess of the Contract Residual Value over the ALG Residual Value; provided, however, that the Servicer shall relinquish all rights to reimbursement of any such Sales Proceeds Advance.


(g)            Immediately prior to the sale or disposition of a Matured Vehicle, a Defaulted Vehicle or a 2016-1 Vehicle related to an Early Termination Lease, the Servicer (so long as the



12















Servicer is BMW FS) may reallocate such Matured Vehicle, Defaulted Vehicle or 2016-1 Vehicle related to an Early Termination Lease from the 2016-1 SUBI to the UTI for purposes of implementing the Servicer’s Like-Kind Exchange Program.  In connection with such reallocation, the Servicer will cause to be deposited into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account an amount equal to Sales Proceeds (in lieu of actual Sales Proceeds) no later than two Business Days after such reallocation, or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is met, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain such amounts until such amounts are required to be disbursed on the next Payment Date. Upon receipt of an amount equal to Sales Proceeds with respect to each such Matured Vehicle, Defaulted Vehicle or 2016-1 Vehicle related to an Early Termination Lease, the 2016-1 SUBI shall have no claim against or interest in such Matured Vehicle, Defaulted Vehicle or 2016-1 Vehicle related to an Early Termination Lease.


(h)            Upon the reallocation by the Servicer of a 2016-1 Vehicle and the related 2016-1 Lease from the 2016-1 SUBI to the UTI pursuant to this Section, and if so directed by the Servicer, the Vehicle Trust or the Vehicle Trustee on behalf of the Vehicle Trust, as applicable, shall be deemed to transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Vehicle Trust in, to and under such 2016-1 Vehicle and the related 2016-1 Lease, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto after the date of such reallocation and all proceeds thereof.  The Vehicle Trustee shall, at the written direction and expense of the Servicer, execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Servicer to effect the conveyance of each such 2016-1 Vehicle and the related 2016-1 Lease pursuant to this Section, including the execution for filing by the Servicer with the related Registrar of Titles of an application for transfer of ownership of each such 2016-1 Vehicle to the Servicer.


2.4.            Collections and Payment Date Advance Reimbursement.


(a)            The Servicer shall, with respect to SUBI Collections and amounts in respect of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate, remit to the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account (i) all Monthly Payments, (ii) all deposits required by Section 2.2 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, (iii) all Reallocation Payments pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3 above, (iv) all Advances, (v) any Pull-Ahead Amounts, (vi) any Recovery Proceeds and (vii) any Sales Proceeds or Termination Proceeds from the disposition of a Matured Vehicle at auction or through sale to a dealer (it being understood that, with respect to Sales Proceeds, the Servicer shall not be obligated to remit the actual Sales Proceeds for 2016-1 Vehicles removed from the Issuer under the Like-Kind Exchange Program, but instead such Sales Proceeds shall be held by the Qualified Intermediary and the Servicer will remit an amount equal to such Sales Proceeds with respect to each 2016-1 Vehicle or 2016-1 Lease subject to the Like-Kind Exchange Program as provided above), in each case, on the Business Day prior to the Payment Date for so long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied.  So long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer will remit all such amounts described in the preceding sentence within two Business Days of receipt to an account established and maintained by BMW Capital. If the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, SUBI Collections will be deposited into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as BMW FS is the Servicer, BMW FS may withhold from the deposit into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account any amounts indicated on the related Payment Date Certificate as



13















being due and payable to the Servicer.  Notwithstanding Section 2.11 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, Insurance Proceeds shall be remitted in accordance with this Section 2.4(a).


Pending deposit into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account, SUBI Collections may be employed by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall not be segregated from its own funds; provided, that the Servicer shall be permitted to apply Sales Proceeds for the acquisitions of leases and vehicles through the Like-Kind Exchange Program, in which case it shall remit an amount equal to Sales Proceeds with respect to each 2016-1 Vehicle or 2016-1 Lease subject to the Like-Kind Exchange Program no later than two Business Days after such reallocation, or, if the Monthly Remittance Condition is met, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain such amount received during a Collection Period until the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Vehicle Trust Agreement, amounts in the escrow account established pursuant to the Like-Kind Exchange Program shall not be subject to any lien so long as there is no Indenture Default under the Indenture.


(b)            The Servicer shall prepare and deliver the Payment Date Certificate as provided in Section 8.03 of the Indenture.  Pursuant to the Payment Date Certificate, the Servicer shall allocate Available Funds on deposit in the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account with respect to the related Collection Period and instruct the Indenture Trustee to make, no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on each Payment Date, the following deposits and distributions in the following amounts and order of priority:


(i)            to the Servicer the sum of (x) any outstanding Advances which have been outstanding as of the end of the related Collection Period for at least 90 days, and (y) with respect to 2016-1 Vehicles that have become Residual Value Loss Vehicles during the related Collection Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the related aggregate Sales Proceeds Advances, over (2) the sum of the aggregate related Sales Proceeds and aggregate related Termination Proceeds (collectively, for such Payment Date, the related “Payment Date Advance Reimbursement”);


(ii)            to or on behalf of the Servicer, the Servicing Fee in respect of the related Collection Period, together with any unpaid Servicing Fees from prior Collection Periods; and


(iii)            to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Note Distribution Account, the Reserve Fund and the Certificate Distribution Account, such distributions in the amounts and order of priority as set forth in Sections 8.04(a), 5.04 and 10.01 of the Indenture.


(c)            No trust account will be established to segregate any Payahead Amounts received from Lessees.


(d)            If the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account is no longer maintained in the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee at any time does not have the ratings specified in either clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Required Deposit Rating,” the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Indenture Trustee, as necessary, cause the 2016-1 SUBI



14















Collection Account to be moved to an eligible institution having the ratings specified in either clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Required Deposit Rating”.


2.5.            Net Deposits.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Servicing Supplement, for so long as BMW FS is the Servicer, the Servicer shall be permitted to deposit into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account only the net amount distributable to the Issuer, as holder of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate, on the related Deposit Date.  The Servicer shall, however, account to the Issuer, the Vehicle Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee), the Owner Trustee and the Noteholders as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were made individually.


2.6.            Servicing Compensation.


(a)            As compensation for the performance of its obligations under this Servicing Supplement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets.  This Section 2.6(a) replaces Section 2.5(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets.


(b)            The Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets in the form of expense reimbursement and any other administrative fees or similar charges under the 2016-1 Leases, including but not limited to any late payment fees now or later in effect, extension fees and early termination fees.


2.7.            Advances.


(a)            On each Deposit Date, the Servicer will, subject to Section 2.7(c) make, by deposit into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account, a Monthly Payment Advance in respect of the unpaid Monthly Payment of a 2016-1 Lease.


(b)            On each Deposit Date, the Servicer may, in its sole discretion, subject to Section 2.7(c), make, by deposit into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account, Sales Proceeds Advances.  After the Servicer has made a Sales Proceeds Advance with respect to a 2016-1 Vehicle, the Issuer shall have no claim against or interest in such 2016-1 Vehicle or any Sales Proceeds or Termination Proceeds, as the case may be, resulting from the sale or other disposition thereof.  If the Servicer shall sell or otherwise dispose of a 2016-1 Vehicle after having made a Sales Proceeds Advance, the Issuer may retain all of such Sales Proceeds Advance, and the Servicer shall retain the related Sales Proceeds or Termination Proceeds, as the case may be, up to the Securitization Value of the related 2016-1 Lease, and will deposit any Sales Proceeds or Termination Proceeds, as the case may be, in excess of the related Securitization Value into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account.  If the Servicer has not sold a 2016-1 Vehicle within 90 days after it has made a Sales Proceeds Advance, it shall be reimbursed for such Sales Proceeds Advance as part of the Payment Date Advance Reimbursement in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i).  Within six months of receiving that reimbursement, if the related 2016-1 Vehicle has not been sold, the Servicer shall, if permitted by applicable law, cause such 2016-1 Vehicle to be sold at auction and shall remit the proceeds associated with the disposition of such 2016-1 Vehicle to the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3(g).



15















(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to make Advances only to the extent that it determines that such Advance will be recoverable from future payments on or in respect of the related 2016-1 Lease or 2016-1 Vehicle.


2.8.            Third Party Claims.  The Servicer shall immediately notify the Depositor (in the event that BMW FS is not acting as Servicer), the Issuer, the Vehicle Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (or any successor to the duties of the Indenture Trustee) upon learning of a claim or Lien of whatever kind of a third party that would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Vehicle Trust with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets.


2.9.            Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policies.  So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Servicer shall maintain and pay when due all premiums with respect to the Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policies unless the termination or other modification of any Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policy will not reduce the Servicer’s insurance coverage below the $10 million minimum and the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such termination or other modification.  The Servicer shall maintain such Contingent and Excess Liability Insurance Policies that provide insurance coverage of at least $10 million per accident and permit multiple claims in any policy period.  The obligations set forth in this Section 2.9 shall survive any termination of the Servicer hereunder.


2.10.            Reporting by the Servicer; Delivery of Certain Documentation.


(a)            On or prior to the Closing Date, and periodically thereafter as required in order to update the contents thereof upon any changes in the matters certified therein, the Servicer shall furnish to the Vehicle Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Holder and the Registered Pledgee an Officer’s Certificate listing the officers of the Servicer involved in, or responsible for, the servicing of the 2016-1 Leases.


(b)            On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall, in addition to the information required in Section 3.1 of the Basic Servicing Agreement, include in the Officer’s Certificate provided for in such Section the amount of any reimbursement being requested pursuant to such Section for the related Collection Period from the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account.


2.11.            Annual Officer’s Certificate.  The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and shall make available to each Rating Agency, within 90 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year 2016), an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under the Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under the Agreement throughout such period or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.


2.12.            Assessment of Compliance and Annual Accountants’ Attestation.



16















(a)            Within 90 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year 2016), the Servicer shall:


(i)            deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  Such report shall be addressed to the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto delivered to the Issuer and the Administrator concurrently with the execution of the Agreement;


(ii)            deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Administrator that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph.  Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;


(iii)            cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section; and


(iv)            if requested by the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, deliver to the Issuer and the Administrator and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to a securitization transaction a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.


The Servicer acknowledges that the parties identified in clause (a)(iv) above may rely on the certification provided by the Servicer pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.  The Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, will not request delivery of a certification under clause (a)(iv) above unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to an Issuer whose asset pool includes the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate.


(b)            Each assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section 2.16 shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification to be delivered to the Servicer, Issuer and the Administrator on or prior to the date of such appointment.  An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer and the Issuer on the date of such appointment.


2.13.            Custody of Lease Documents and Certificates of Title.


(a)            To reduce administrative costs and ensure uniform quality in the servicing of the 2016-1 Leases and BMW FS’ own portfolio of leases, the Vehicle Trust hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent, bailee and custodian of the 2016-1 Leases, the certificates of title relating to



17















the 2016-1 Vehicles, the insurance policies and insurance records and other documents related to the 2016-1 Leases and the related Lessees and 2016-1 Vehicles (collectively, the “Lease Files”).  Such documents will not be physically segregated from other leases, certificates of title, insurance policies and insurance records or other documents related to other leases and vehicles owned or serviced by the Servicer, including leases and vehicles which are not part of the 2016-1 SUBI Assets.  The accounting records and computer systems of BMW FS will reflect the allocation of the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles to the 2016-1 SUBI, and the interest of the holders of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate therein.  The Servicer may appoint one or more agents to act as subcustodians of certain items relating to the 2016-1 Leases, the certificates of title relating to the 2016-1 Vehicles, the insurance policies and insurance records and other documents related to the 2016-1 Leases and the related Lessees and 2016-1 Vehicles so long as the Servicer remains primarily responsible for their safekeeping.


(b)            The Servicer shall maintain possession of each Lease File at one of its offices specified in Schedule A to this Servicing Supplement or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice not later than 30 days after any change in location (except that, in the case of any 2016-1 Lease constituting “electronic chattel paper”, the “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of such 2016-1 Lease shall be maintained by the Servicer in a computer system such that the Servicer maintains “control” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) over such “authoritative copy”). The Servicer shall maintain possession of any written amendment to any 2016-1 Lease constituting tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper.  The Servicer shall make available to the Vehicle Trust, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Lease Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer shall reasonably instruct, which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations or customer or employee relations.


(c)            The Servicer hereby acknowledges that any 2016-1 Leases assigned to the Vehicle Trust and owned by the Vehicle Trust that are in the possession of, or are otherwise held on the Servicer’s system in the name of BMW Financial Services NA, LLC, are possessed or held in such a manner by the Servicer as agent for the Vehicle Trust.


2.14.            Servicer Defaults; Termination of Servicer.


(a)            Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the occurrence and continuation of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under the Servicing Agreement (each, a “Servicer Default”):


(i)            the Servicer shall fail to cause the delivery to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders, to the Owner Trustee for distribution to the Trust Certificateholders or to the Vehicle Trustee for distribution to holders of interests in the UTI, the SUBI or any Other SUBI, any required payment, which failure continues for 5 Business Days after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Notes, voting together as a single class; or



18















(ii)            the Servicer fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements in the Servicing Agreement not otherwise covered in this Section 2.14(a), which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of a Holder of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate, the Noteholders or Trust Certificateholders, as applicable, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Notes, or such default becomes known to the Servicer;


(iii)            any representation, warranty, or statement of the Servicer made in the Servicing Agreement, any other Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party or by which it is bound or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant to the Servicing Agreement that proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of a Holder of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate, the Noteholders or the Trust Certificateholders, continues unremedied for 90 days after receipt by the Servicer of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Notes, or such default becomes known to the Servicer;


(iv)            the entry of a decree or order for relief by a court or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property, the ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or


(v)            the commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or future or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property or the making by the Servicer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the Servicer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.


provided, however, that any Servicer Default with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to any Other SUBI and any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) with respect to any Other SUBI shall constitute a Servicer Default or Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Basic Servicing Agreement) only with respect to such Other SUBI and not with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (iii) for a period of 120 days, under clause (i) for a period of 45 days or clause (iv) for a period of 60 days, will not constitute a Servicer Default if that failure or delay was caused by a Force Majeure.  Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer will not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer will provide to the



19















Indenture Trustee, the Vehicle Trustee, the Depositor and the Securityholders prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.


(b)            Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Servicer Default under the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and any Noteholders prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.  Upon the written direction of the Holder (which for this purpose shall be the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Noteholders holding not less than the Required Percentage), the Vehicle Trustee shall waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement and its consequences.  Upon the waiver of a past default, such default will cease to exist and any Servicer Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been remedied.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


(c)            In addition to the provisions of Section 4.1(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, if a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI, the Vehicle Trustee may, to the extent such Servicer Default relates to the SUBI Assets, upon the direction of the holder and pledgee of the SUBI Certificates, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the SUBI Assets.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the holder of the SUBI Certificate will be the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of Noteholders holding not less than the Required Percentage, so long as any Notes are outstanding.  In each case, upon written direction from the holder of the SUBI Certificate, the Vehicle Trustee will effect that termination by delivering notice thereof to the Servicer, with a copy made available to each Rating Agency and any rating agency rating any securities based on any Other SUBIs affected by that Servicer Default.


(d)            Upon the termination of the Servicer with respect to the SUBI Assets, the Servicer subject to that termination or removal will continue to perform its functions as Servicer, until the date a successor Servicer is appointed as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.  As soon as practicable after the termination of the Servicer (but in no event more than 10 Business Days after any such termination), the Servicer shall deliver the Lease Files to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s designee at the place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate; provided, however, that with respect to “authoritative copies” of the 2016-1 Leases constituting electronic chattel paper, the Servicer shall transfer such “authoritative copies” to the successor Servicer, unless otherwise instructed by the Indenture Trustee.  In connection with any such transfer of “authoritative copies” of the 2016-1 Leases, an authorized representative of the Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert an authoritative copy into tangible form by permanently removing such electronic authoritative copy from the Servicer’s electronic vaulting system and causing a contract in tangible form to be printed as the tangible authoritative copy that constitutes original tangible chattel paper for purposes of the UCC, and shall deliver such tangible authoritative copy to the successor Servicer or to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s designee at the place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.


(e)            In the event of a termination of the Servicer as a result of a Servicer Default with respect to the SUBI Assets only, the Vehicle Trustee, acting at the direction of the holder of the SUBI Certificate (which holder for this purpose will be the Indenture Trustee, acting at the



20















direction of Noteholders holding not less than Required Percentage) will appoint a successor Servicer.  The Vehicle Trustee will have the right to approve that successor Servicer, and that approval may not be unreasonably withheld.


(f)            Upon appointment of a successor Servicer, the successor Servicer shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that no successor Servicer shall have any responsibilities with respect to making any Advance.  Any compensation payable to a successor Servicer may not be in excess of that permitted the predecessor Servicer.


(g)            In the event the Servicer is removed with respect to servicing the 2016-1 SUBI Assets, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any outstanding Advances made pursuant to this Servicing Supplement, to the extent of the funds available therefor.

(b)            Effective as of the date hereof, the Servicer further hereby represents and warrants that:



22















(i)            The Servicer has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and has full power and authority to execute and perform its obligations under the Agreement, the Basic Documents and the Notes.


(ii)            The execution and delivery of this Servicing Supplement and any other Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Servicer, and this Servicing Supplement and any other Basic Document to which the Servicer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Servicer and when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto this Servicing Supplement will be the valid and binding agreement of the Servicer, enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).


(iii)            The Servicer is not (and its entry and performance of its obligations under the Basic Documents will not cause it to be) in violation of any term or provision of its charter documents or by-laws, or in breach of or in default under any statute or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or other governmental authority or any arbitrator applicable to the Servicer or any agreement to which it is a party or by which its properties are bound, the consequence of which violation, breach or default would have (A) a materially adverse effect on or constitute a materially adverse change in, or constitute a development involving a prospective materially adverse effect on or change in, the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs or business prospects, net worth or results of operations of the Servicer or (B) a material and adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement.


(iv)            Each of the Servicer and the Vehicle Trust possesses all consents, licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its businesses, and the Servicer has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such consent, license, certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on or constitute a material adverse change in, or constitute a development involving a prospective material adverse effect on or change in, the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs or business prospects, net worth or results of operations of the Servicer or the Vehicle Trust, respectively, except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus.

(vi)            In selecting the 2016-1 Leases, no selection procedure, aside from those specified herein, was used that was believed to be adverse to the holders of interests in the Vehicle Trust, the 2016-1 SUBI or any Other SUBI.


2.16.            Appointment of Subservicer or Subcontractor.


(a)            The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as servicer hereunder; provided however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders for the servicing and administering of the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles. The fees and expenses of any subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such subservicer from time to time, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Securityholders shall have any responsibility therefor.


(b)            The Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of the Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were the Servicer, and to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer as is required to file all required reports with the Commission.  The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Issuer and the Administrator any servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 2.11, any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 2.12 and any certification required to be delivered to the Person that will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section 2.12(a)(iv) as and when required to be delivered.


(c)            The Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrator) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any Subservicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which, if any, of such Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which, if any, elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.


As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Issuer and the Depositor to comply with the reporting and compliance provisions of the Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were the Servicer.  The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the Issuer and the



24















Administrator any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor, in each case as and when required to be delivered.


2.17.            Information to be Provided by the Servicer.


(a)            At the request of the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of asset-backed securities, the Servicer shall (or shall cause each Subservicer to) (i) notify the Issuer and the Administrator in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Servicer or any Subservicer and (ii) provide to the Issuer and the Administrator a description of such proceedings.


(b)            As a condition to the succession to the Servicer or any Subservicer as servicer or subservicer under this Servicing Supplement by any Person (i) into which the Servicer or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Servicer or any Subservicer, the Servicer shall provide to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Depositor, at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Issuer and the Administrator of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrator, all information reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to any class of asset-backed securities.


(c)            In addition to such information as the Servicer, as servicer, is obligated to provide pursuant to other provisions of the Agreement, if so requested by the Issuer or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall provide such information regarding the performance or servicing of the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles as is reasonably required to facilitate preparation of distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB.  Such information shall be provided concurrently with the monthly reports otherwise required to be delivered by the Servicer under the Agreement, commencing with the first such report due not less than ten Business Days following such request.


2.18.            Remedies.


(a)            The Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Depositor for any monetary damages incurred as a result of the failure by the Servicer, any Subservicer or any Subcontractor to deliver any information, report, certification, attestation, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under Article IV, including any failure by the Servicer to identify any Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and shall reimburse the applicable party for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Servicer, any Subservicer, or any Subcontractor.


(b)            The Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Issuer and the Administrator for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuer or Administrator as such are incurred, in connection with the termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles to a successor servicer.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit



25















whatever rights the Issuer or Administrator may have under other provisions of the Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.


2.19.            Purchase of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate; Redemption of the Notes; Repayment of the Trust Certificates.


(a)            The Servicer shall be permitted at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate from the Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving effect to any payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the Note Balance is less than or equal to 5% of the Initial Note Balance.  The purchase price for the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate shall equal the sum of (i) the outstanding Note Balance, together with accrued interest thereon up to but not including such Payment Date, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and indemnities due and owing to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Asset Representations Reviewer, in each case to the extent such fees, expenses and indemnities have not been previously paid by the Issuer (the “Optional Purchase Price”), which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account on the Deposit Date related to such Payment Date.  If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on the related Payment Date at the Redemption Price.


(b)            Notice of any redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be given by the Servicer or Administrator to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable.  The Administrator shall make notice of such redemption available to each Rating Agency.


(c)            Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Trust Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations to make payments to Trust Certificateholders of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Servicing Supplement.


2.20.            Servicer Not to Resign.  Subject to Sections 2.10 and 4.1(b) of the Basic Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Servicing Supplement as Servicer except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Servicing Supplement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law.  Notice of any determination that the performance by the Servicer of its duties hereunder is no longer permitted under applicable law shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Vehicle Trustee at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Vehicle Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until a successor Servicer acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of Noteholders holding at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount, has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning Servicer. If no Servicer has been appointed within 30 days of resignation or removal, or the date upon which any regulatory authority requires such



26















resignation, the Indenture Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for such appointment.


2.21.            Pull-Ahead and Other Early Termination Marketing Programs.  The Servicer may, in its discretion, with respect to any 2016-1 Lease, permit the Lessee under the related 2016-1 Lease to terminate such 2016-1 Lease prior to its scheduled termination date as part of a “pull-ahead” or other marketing program; provided, however, that such early termination shall not be permitted unless all Pull-Ahead Amounts due and payable by the Lessee under such 2016-1 Lease on or before the date of such Lessee’s election to terminate the 2016-1 Lease have been paid by or on behalf of such Lessee and are deposited in the 2016-1 SUBI Collection Account within the time period thereafter stated in Section 2.4 of this Servicing Supplement. Following such early termination, the Servicer shall charge the related Lessee any applicable Excess Wear and Use Payments and Excess Mileage Payments in accordance with customary servicing practices with respect to 2016-1 Leases that are terminated early by the related Lessee in the absence of a “pull-ahead” or other marketing program.


2.22.            Vehicle Trustee Compensation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Vehicle Trust Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 6.5, 7.8 and 8.1 of the Vehicle Trust Agreement, the fees, expenses, and indemnification owed to the Vehicle Trustee pursuant to the Vehicle Trust Agreement shall be paid by the Servicer and no recourse may be had to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets for any such amounts.


ARTICLE III - MISCELLANEOUS


3.1.            Termination of Supplement.  This Servicing Supplement shall terminate upon the termination of the 2016-1 SUBI.  Any such termination hereunder shall effect a termination only with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI Assets and not as to Trust Assets allocated to the UTI or any Other SUBI, and shall not effect a termination of the Basic Servicing Agreement or any other servicing supplement.


3.2.            Governing Law.  This Servicing Supplement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).


3.3.            Amendment.


(a)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Servicing Supplement (and, accordingly, the Basic Servicing Agreement, insofar as it relates to the 2016-1 SUBI) may be amended from time to time by the parties hereto:

3.9.            No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

3.11.            Limitation of Liability of Vehicle Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been countersigned by BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Vehicle Trustee of the Vehicle Trust and in no event shall BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware in its individual capacity have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Vehicle Trust hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Vehicle Trust.  For all purposes of this Servicing Supplement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Vehicle Trust hereunder, the Vehicle Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Part VI of the SUBI Trust Agreement.


3.12.            Intent of Parties; Reasonableness.  The Servicer, Sponsor and Issuer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Sections 2.12 and 2.16 of this Servicing Supplement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.


None of the Sponsor, the Administrator nor the Issuer shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure



29















comparable to that required under the Securities Act).  The Servicer acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Issuer or the Administrator in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.  In connection with this transaction, the Servicer shall cooperate fully with the Administrator and the Issuer to deliver to the Administrator or Issuer, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Issuer or the Administrator to permit the Issuer or Administrator (acting on behalf of the Issuer) to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Servicer, any Subservicer and the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles, or the servicing of the 2016-1 Leases and 2016-1 Vehicles, reasonably believed by the Issuer or the Administrator to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.


The Issuer and the Administrator (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Servicer by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the reasonable judgment or the Issuer or the Administrator, as applicable, to comply with Regulation AB.


3.13.            Series Disclaimer and Acknowledgment.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Vehicle Trust is organized in series pursuant to Section 3804(a) and 3806(b)(2) of the Business Trust Statute.  As such, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to each series of the Vehicle Trust shall be enforceable against the assets of such series of the Vehicle Trust only, and not against the assets of the Vehicle Trust generally or the assets of any other series of the Vehicle Trust or against the Vehicle Trustee of the Vehicle Trust.  There may be several series of the Vehicle Trust created pursuant to the Vehicle Trust Agreement.


3.14.            Third-Party Beneficiaries.  The Holder and Registered Pledgee of the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate (including the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee), and their respective successors, permitted assigns and pledgees are third-party beneficiaries of the Servicing Agreement and this Servicing Supplement, insofar as they apply to the 2016-1 SUBI.


3.15.            Effect of Supplement on Basic Servicing Agreement.


(a)            Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, (i) the parties hereto shall continue to be bound by all provisions of the Basic Servicing Agreement and (ii) the provisions set forth herein shall operate either as additions to or modifications of the extant obligations of the parties under the Basic Servicing Agreement, as the context may require.  In the event of any conflict between this Servicing Supplement and the Basic Servicing Agreement in respect of the 2016-1 SUBI, the provisions of this Servicing Supplement shall prevail.


(b)            For purposes of determining the obligations of the parties hereto under this Servicing Supplement with respect to the 2016-1 SUBI, except as otherwise indicated by the context, general references in the Basic Servicing Agreement to (i) a SUBI Certificate shall be



30















deemed to refer more specifically to the 2016-1 SUBI Certificate, (ii) the SUBI shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the 2016-1 SUBI, (iii) a SUBI Portfolio shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the portfolio of assets of the 2016-1 SUBI, (iv) a SUBI Asset shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the 2016-1 Leases, the 2016-1 Vehicles and the other Trust Assets allocated to or earned by the 2016-1 SUBI, (v) a SUBI Servicing Agreement Supplement shall be deemed to refer more specifically to this Servicing Supplement and (vi) a SUBI Supplement shall be deemed to refer more specifically to the 2016-1 SUBI Supplement.

ARTICLE IV - ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION


4.1.            Asset Representations Review.


(a)            Upon the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger with respect to any Collection Period, the Servicer will promptly send to the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee a notice describing the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, and including reasonably detailed calculations thereof.


(b)            If the Indenture Trustee notifies the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Indenture that sufficient Noteholders have voted within the required time to initiate an Asset Representations Review of all ARR Leases by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, then the Servicer shall:


(i)            promptly (but in no case later than 10 Business Days of receipt by the Servicer of such notice) notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee of the number and identity of the ARR Leases;


(ii)            within sixty days after receipt by the Servicer of such notice from the Indenture Trustee, render reasonable assistance, including granting access to copies of any underlying documents and Lease Files and all other relevant documents, to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the performance of a review of all ARR Leases, pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, in order to verify compliance with the representations and warranties made to the Issuer by the Servicer set forth in Section 2.15(a) of this Servicing Supplement; and


(iii)            provide such other reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer as it requests in order to facilitate its Asset Representations Review of the ARR Leases pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.


(c)            Upon receipt by the Servicer of a Review Report from the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Servicer will evaluate such Review Report to determine whether any ARR Lease should be reallocated as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty made by it under Section 2.15(a) of the Servicing Supplement.  Prior to the provision of any such Review Report to a Noteholder or Note Owner, the Servicer shall ensure and, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, shall certify to



31















the Indenture Trustee, that the  Review Report contains no Personally Identifiable Information (as defined in the Asset Representations Review Agreement).


(d)            The Servicer may redact any materials provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in order to remove any personally identifiable customer information.  Except for the measure described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts not to change the meaning of such materials or their usefulness to the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with its review pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement.


4.2.            Dispute Resolution.


(a)            If the Indenture Trustee requests (as permitted by Section 12.03 of the Indenture, and by written notice to the Servicer), or if any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner requests (by written notice to the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer) (any such party making a request, the “Requesting Party”), that a 2016-1 Lease be reallocated due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.15(a) of this Servicing Supplement, the Servicer will evaluate any such request, and if the request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within 180 days of the receipt of such request by the Servicer (which, if sent by a Noteholder or Verified Note Owner to the Indenture Trustee, will be forwarded to the Servicer), then the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or third-party binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 4.2.  Dispute resolution to resolve reallocation requests will be available regardless of whether Noteholders and Verified Note Owners voted to direct an Asset Representations Review or whether the Delinquency Trigger occurred.  The Servicer will direct the Indenture Trustee to, and the Indenture Trustee will, notify the Requesting Party of the date when the 180-day period ends without resolution by the appropriate party and that such Requesting Party has to provide notice to the Servicer of its intention to refer the matter to mediation, to refer the matter to arbitration, or to institute a legal proceeding within 30 days after the delivery of such notice of the end of the 180-day period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to monitor reallocation activity or to independently determine which reallocation requests remain unresolved at the end of such 180-day period.  The Servicer agrees to participate in the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.


(b)            If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:


(i)            The mediation will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its mediation procedures in effect at the time of the proceeding.


(ii)            The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by JAMS.  Upon being supplied a list of at least 10 potential mediators by JAMS, each of the Servicer and the Requesting Party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within 14 days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference.  JAMS will



32















select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.


(iii)            The Servicer and the Requesting Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within 30 days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days of the start of the mediation.


(iv)            The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the Servicer and the Requesting Party as part of the mediation.


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


(i)            The arbitration will be administered by the AAA pursuant its Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such arbitration.


(ii)            The arbitral panel will consist of three members, (i) one to be appointed by the Requesting Party within five Business Days of providing notice to the Servicer of its selection of arbitration, (ii) one to be appointed by the Servicer within five Business Days of that appointment and (iii) the third, who will preside over the panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five Business Days of the second appointment.  If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the stated time periods, then the appointments will be made by the AAA pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.  In each such case, each arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience.


(iii)            Each arbitrator will be independent and will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the proceeding.  Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.   Any arbitrator may be removed by AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.


(iv)            After consulting with the parties, the arbitral panel will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 90 days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with then-prevailing New York law (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.


(v)            Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the AAA’s Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) four party witness depositions not to exceed five hours, and (B) one set of interrogations, document requests, and requests for admissions; provided that the arbitral panel will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that



33















the arbitral panel determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.


(vi)            The arbitral panel will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment.  The arbitral panel will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Servicing Supplement, and may not modify or change this Servicing Supplement in any way.  The arbitral panel will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them.  In its final determination, the arbitral panel will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitral panel, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitral panel in its reasonable discretion.  The determination in any binding arbitration of the arbitral panel will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties.  The determination will be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.


(vii)            By selecting binding arbitration, the selecting party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.


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


(d)            The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:


(i)            Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York, but any party may appear by video conference or teleconference;


(ii)            The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled reallocation request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 4.2, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties' attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled reallocation request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 4.2).  Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party's attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 4.2), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order.  If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information; and


(iii)            If JAMS or the AAA no longer exists, or if its rules would no longer permit mediation or arbitration of the dispute, the matter will be administered by another nationally recognized mediation or arbitration organization, as applicable, selected by BMW FS, using its relevant rules then in effect.  However, if any such rules are inconsistent with the terms of the mediation or arbitration stated in this Servicing Supplement, the terms of this Servicing Supplement will apply.



34















(iv)            Under  no circumstances will the Indenture Trustee, the Vehicle Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer be liable for any expenses allocated to the Requesting Party in any dispute resolution proceeding.
