     THIS ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of [ ], is among
BANK OF AMERICA AUTO SECURITIES TRUST 20[      ]-[ ], a Delaware statutory trust (the
“Issuer”), BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as
administrator (“BANA” or in its capacity as administrator, the “Administrator”),
and [            ], a [            ], as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned such terms in
Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of [            ] (the “Sale
and Servicing Agreement”) by and among BAS Securitization LLC, as seller, the Issuer, BANA, as
servicer, and the Indenture Trustee.



W I T N E S S E T H :




     WHEREAS, the Issuer has issued the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificate
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and has entered into certain agreements in connection therewith,
including, (i) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Indenture, (iii) the Note Depository
Agreement, [(iv) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] and (v) the Trust Agreement (each of the
agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (v) are referred to herein
collectively as the “Issuer Documents”);



     WHEREAS, to secure payment of the Notes, the Issuer has pledged the Collateral to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture;



     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Issuer Documents, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee are required to
perform certain duties;



     WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee desire to have the Administrator perform certain of
the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust
Agreement), and to provide such additional services consistent with this Agreement and the Issuer
Documents as the Issuer may from time to time request;



     WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services required hereby and is
willing to perform such services for the Issuer and the Owner Trustee on the terms set forth
herein;



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:



     1. Duties of the Administrator.




     (a) Duties with Respect to the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall
perform all of its duties as Administrator under this Agreement and the Issuer Documents and
the duties and obligations of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner
trustee under the Trust Agreement) under the Issuer Documents; provided, however, except as
otherwise provided in the Issuer Documents, that the Administrator shall have no obligation
to make any payment required to be made by the Issuer under any Issuer Document; provided,
further, however, that the Administrator shall have no obligation, and the Owner Trustee
shall be required to fully perform its duties, with




Administration Agreement
       20[  ]-[ ]


 









 






respect to the obligations of the Owner Trustee under Sections 11.12,
11.13, 11.14 and 11.15 of the Trust Agreement and to otherwise
comply with the requirements of the Owner Trustee pursuant to or related to Regulation AB.
In addition, the Administrator shall consult with the Issuer and the Owner Trustee regarding
its duties and obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall monitor the
performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Issuer and the Owner
Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s and the Owner Trustee’s duties
and obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall perform such
calculations, and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or shall
cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings,
instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement) to prepare, file or
deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the
Administrator shall take all appropriate action that is the duty of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement) to take pursuant to the
Issuer Documents, and shall prepare and execute on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee
all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be
the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the
Issuer Documents or otherwise by law.




     (b) No Action by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take any action
that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take nor which would result in a violation
or breach of the Issuer’s covenants, agreements or obligations under any of the Issuer
Documents.




     (c) Non-Ministerial Matters; Exceptions to Administrator Duties.




     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial,
the Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a reasonable time before
the taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Issuer of the
proposed action and the Issuer shall not have withheld consent or provided an
alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial
matters” shall include, without limitation:




     (A) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of
any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer;




     (B) the appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents,
successor Indenture Trustees, successor Administrators or successor Servicers, or
the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the
Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; and




     (C) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, (x) make any payments to the
Noteholders under the Transaction Documents, (y) except as provided in the
Transaction Documents, sell the Trust Estate or (z) take any other action that the
Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf.




     2. Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible
for inspection upon reasonable written request by the Issuer, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee
at any time during normal business hours.




     3. Compensation; Payment of Fees and Expenses. As compensation for the performance of
the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related
thereto, the Administrator shall be entitled to receive $[ ] annually which shall be solely an
obligation of the Servicer. The Administrator shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its activities hereunder.




     4. Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the
Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations
hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority to
act for or to represent the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.




     5. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the
Administrator and the Issuer as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,
unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability
as such on any of them or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or
apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.




     6. Other Activities of the Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from
acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other Person even though such Person may
engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee.




     7. Representations and Warranties of the Administrator. The Administrator represents
and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows:




     (a) Existence and Power. The Administrator is a corporation validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The
Administrator 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 Administrator
to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral.





Administration Agreement
       20[  ]-[ ]

     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Administrator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i)
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Administrator and (ii)
do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation,
(B) its organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other
instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations which do
not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or the Administrator’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 Administrator of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings,
(ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have
previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained
or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of
the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral or would not materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents.




     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable
against the Administrator in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in
effect or by general principles of equity.



     8. Administrator Replacement Events; Termination of the Administrator.




     (a) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Administrator may resign its duties
hereunder by providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice.




     (b) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Issuer may remove the Administrator
without cause by providing the Administrator with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written
notice; provided, that, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Rating Agency
Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith.




     (c) The occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an “Administrator
Replacement Event”) shall also entitle the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, to
terminate and replace the Administrator:




     (i) any failure by the Administrator to deliver or cause to be delivered any
required payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders, which
failure continues unremedied for ten business days after discovery thereof by a
Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of




Administration Agreement
       20[  ]-[ ]



4










 






written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at
least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting together as a single class;




     (ii) any failure by the Administrator to duly observe or perform in any
material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which
failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a
Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written
notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a
majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting together as a single class;




     (iii) any representation or warranty of the Administrator made in any
Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party or by which it is bound
or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely
affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which failure continues
unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the
Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the
Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding
Note Balance, voting together as a single class (it being understood that any
repurchase of a Receivable by BANA pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase
Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to remedy any incorrect representation or
warranty with respect to such Receivable); or




     (iv) the Administrator suffers a Bankruptcy Event;




provided, however, that a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above for a period of 150 days will not constitute an
Administrator Replacement Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or
other similar occurrence.




     (d) If an Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject
to Section 19 hereof, by notice given to the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, terminate
all or a portion of the rights and powers of the Administrator under this Agreement,
including the rights of the Administrator to receive the annual fee for services hereunder
for all periods following such termination; provided, however, that such termination shall
not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, shall have
appointed a successor Administrator in the manner set forth below. Upon any such
termination, all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of the Administrator under this
Agreement shall vest in and be assumed by any successor Administrator appointed by the
Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, pursuant to a management agreement between the
Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing substantially the same provisions as
this Agreement (including with respect to the compensation of such successor Administrator),
and the successor Administrator is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the




Administration Agreement
       20[  ]-[ ]



5









 






Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect such
vesting and assumption. Further, in such event, the Administrator shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
administration of the Issuer to the new Administrator.




     (e) The Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, may waive in writing any Administrator
Replacement Event by the Administrator in the performance of its obligations hereunder and
its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past Administrator Replacement Event, such
Administrator Replacement Event shall cease to exist, and any Administrator Replacement
Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Administrator Replacement
Event or impair any right consequent thereon.



     9. Action upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, or the removal of the Administrator
pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid by the Servicer all
fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination or removal.



     10. Liens. The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, allow or suffer
to exist any Lien on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.



     11. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage
prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile, and addressed in each case as
specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties
hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an
officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient
for notices hereunder.



     12. Amendments.




     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator without
the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, [the Swap Counterparty],
the Owner Trustee, the Seller, BANA or any other Person subject to Section 12(e) and the
satisfaction of one of the following conditions:




     (i) the Administrator delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee
to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders;




     (ii) the Administrator delivers an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator
to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially or
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or

     (iii) the Administrator delivers to the Indenture Trustee written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause it to downgrade, qualify
or withdraw its rating assigned to any of the Notes;




     (b) Subject to Section 12(e), any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by
the Administrator 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, the Servicer, BANA or any of
their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any law or
regulation or any accounting rule or principle (whether now or in the future), it being a
condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.




     (c) Subject to Section 12(e), this Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of
Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting as a
single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any
other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record
dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.




     (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner
Trustee; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.




     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer, 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 materially and adversely affects
the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges,
indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or
otherwise.




     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) this Agreement may not be
amended in any way that would materially and adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s or the
Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties, or
obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise without prior
written consent of such Person; [(ii) this Agreement may not be amended in




Administration Agreement
       20[  ]-[ ]



7









 






any way that would materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of the
Swap Counterparty unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such
amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does
not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request for
such consent)]; and (iii) this Agreement may not be amended in any way that would
significantly change the permitted activities or powers of the Issuer even if such amendment
would not have an adverse effect on the Holders of the Notes without the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Notes.



     13. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.




     (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL,
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO

LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.




     (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:




     (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or Proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection
herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to
the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the
courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and
appellate courts from any thereof;




     (ii) consents that any such action or Proceeding may be brought in such courts
and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such
action or Proceeding in any such court or that such action or Proceeding was brought
in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;




     (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or Proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address
determined in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement;




     (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any
other jurisdiction; and




     (v) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably
waives all right of trial by jury in any action, Proceeding or counterclaim based

reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this
Agreement.

of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.



     16. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,

contrary, this Agreement has been executed and delivered by [           ], not in its individual capacity
but solely as Owner Trustee, and in no event shall it have any liability for the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes
