 THIS SALE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of April 18, 2012 (as amended from time

 ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASE 
 SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Transfer, Sell, Contribute and Assign on
the Closing Date. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby irrevocably transfer, sell, contribute and assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations
herein) on the Closing Date all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property and as evidenced by an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Assignment”) delivered on the Closing
Date (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”): 
 (i) all right, title and interest of the
Depositor in, to and under the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and all monies received thereon after the Cut-Off Date; 
 (ii) the interest of the Depositor in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to such Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any accessions thereto;

 (iii) the interest of the Depositor in any proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life, credit
disability, warranties, debt cancellation agreements or other insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors; 
 (iv) the interest of the Depositor in any proceeds from recourse against Dealers on Receivables acquired from Dealers; 

(v) all right, title and interest of the Depositor in, to and under the Third Purchase Agreement, the Second Purchase
Agreement and the First Purchase Agreement, including the right to cause the Second Tier Purchaser, the First Tier Purchaser or BANA, as applicable, to repurchase Receivables under certain circumstances;

(vii) the interest of the Depositor in any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i) and

Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. Notwithstanding the other terms of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Issuer hereby acknowledge that BANA expressly
retains all, and has not transferred hereunder any, of its rights to obtain refunds or claim credits or deductions relating to state and local sales or use, gross receipts, transaction privilege, value added, business and occupation and other
similar taxes attributable to accounts charged off by the Issuer or its affiliates, subsidiaries, assignees or transferees.

 SECTION 2.2 Consideration and Payment. In consideration of the transfer, sale,
contribution and assignment of the Purchased Assets conveyed to the Issuer on the Closing Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Depositor on such date an amount equal to the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets, which amount shall be paid
(a) by delivery of the Notes to or upon the order of the Depositor and (b) by delivery of the Certificates to or upon the order of the Depositor. 
 ARTICLE III 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties as
of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. The representations and warranties will survive the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 
 (a) Existence and Power. The Depositor is a limited liability company
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, all power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Depositor 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 Depositor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of a material
portion of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets. 
 (b)
Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Depositor and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which
its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Depositor’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 Depositor 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 listed on the Schedule of Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Depositor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

  

							
		 	 	-3-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









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

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Depositor, threatened against
the Depositor before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iv) relating to the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes. 

(f) Lien Filings. The Depositor is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Depositor.

 SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor regarding the Receivables. The Depositor makes the
representations and warranties set forth on Schedule II with respect to the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables, on which the Issuer relies in purchasing such Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the
Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables by the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables by the
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Depositor shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance
Policy obtained by an Obligor. 
 SECTION 3.3 Repurchase Upon Breach. (a) Upon discovery by or notice to the Issuer or
the Depositor of a breach of any of the representations and warranties described in Section 3.2 with respect to any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables at the time such representations and warranties were made which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party hereto; provided, that delivery of the Monthly Servicer
Report, which identifies that Receivables are being or have been repurchased, shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice of such breach; provided, further, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the
Depositor hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, then the Depositor shall either (i) correct or cure such breach or (ii) purchase (or cause to be purchased) such Receivable from the
holder thereof, in either case on or before the last day of the second Collection Period (or, at the option of the Depositor, the last day of the first Collection Period) following the date the Depositor became aware of or was notified of such
breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed to not have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer (or its 

  

							
		 	 	-4-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 
assignee) to collect, receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable, including Liquidation Proceeds. Any such purchase by the Depositor shall be at a price equal to the related
Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Depositor shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing (or causing to be deposited) such amount into the Collection Account on
the Business Day prior to the Payment Date immediately following the date of such repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Depositor, the Issuer shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in the Depositor or its designee any Receivable listed on the
Schedule of Receivables and related Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant to this Section 3.3. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Depositor to repurchase (or to enforce the obligation of the Second Tier Purchaser
under the Third Purchase Agreement, the First Tier Purchaser under the Second Purchase Agreement or BANA under the First Purchase Agreement to repurchase) any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables as described above shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing repurchase obligations, if the
interest of the Issuer in any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables is materially and adversely affected by a breach by the Second Tier Purchaser of a representation or warranty relating to such Receivable in the Third Purchase Agreement,
a breach by the First Tier Purchaser of a representation or warranty relating to such Receivable in the Second Purchase Agreement, or a breach by BANA of a representation or warranty relating to such Receivable in the First Purchase Agreement, the
Depositor shall repurchase such Receivable from the Issuer but only if the Second Tier Purchaser, the First Tier Purchaser or BANA, as applicable, shall in fact repurchase such Receivable. The Depositor shall promptly remit into the Collection
Account the purchase price paid with respect to such Receivable. 
 SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title. 

(a) The Depositor shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be authorized and filed such continuation and other
statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer under this Agreement in the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and the other Purchased
Assets. The Depositor shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. 

(b) The Depositor will notify the Issuer in writing within ten (10) days following the occurrence of (i) any change in the
Depositor’s organizational structure as a limited liability company, (ii) any change in the Depositor’s “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) and (iii) any
change in the Depositor’s name, and shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not possible to take such action in
advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Issuer to amend all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above. The Depositor will at all times maintain its
“location” within the United States. 

  

							
		 	 	-5-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 (c) The Depositor shall maintain (or shall cause the Servicer to maintain) its computer
systems so that, on and after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables on the Closing Date, the master computer records (including any backup archives, it being understood that any such backup
archives may not reflect such interest until thirty-five (35) days after the applicable changes are made to such master computer records) that refer to a Receivable shall indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer (or any subsequent assignee
of the Issuer) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such Person. 
 (d) If at any time the Depositor shall
propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, the Depositor shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other
transferee computer tapes, Records or printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable listed on the Schedule of Receivables, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has
been sold and is owned by the Issuer (or any subsequent assignee of the Issuer). 
 SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests.
Except for the conveyances and grants of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Depositor shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables or other
property transferred to the Issuer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any interest therein, and the Depositor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Issuer in,
to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Depositor. 
 SECTION 3.6 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Depositor hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached hereto as Schedule III to the
Issuer, and the Issuer shall be deemed to have relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the Purchased Assets. 
 SECTION 3.7 Compliance with the FDIC Rule. The Depositor hereby agrees (i) to perform the covenants set forth in Article XII of the Indenture applicable to it and (ii) to
facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the Bank of America Parties. 
 ARTICLE IV 

MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest. 

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are
complete and absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables listed on the
Schedule of Receivables and related Purchased Assets shall not be treated as property of the Depositor’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor. The sales and 


  

							
		 	 	-6-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 
transfers by the Depositor of the Receivables and related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Depositor,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Depositor are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold,
rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables
listed on the Schedule of Receivables and other Purchased Assets are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in such Receivables and other Purchased
Assets, then it is intended that: 
 (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; 
 (ii) The
conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Issuer, a security interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the performance of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder; 

(iii) The possession by the Issuer or its agent of the Receivable Files related to the Receivables listed on the Schedule
of Receivables and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such purchaser,
for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and 
 (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts
or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. 
 SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage
prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or electronic mail, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule I hereto or at such other address as shall be designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto.
Any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such
communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder and, with respect to delivery via electronic mail, upon confirmation from the recipient that such notice has
been received; provided, however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice. 


  

							
		 	 	-7-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT EXCLUDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ALL OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
 SECTION 4.4 Headings. The
section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by way of electronic or facsimile transmission), each 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. 
 SECTION 4.6
Amendment. 
 (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Depositor without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the First Tier Purchaser, the Second Tier Purchaser, or any other Person subject to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 4.6;
provided that (i) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, materially and adversely affect the interests
of the Noteholders or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment; provided further, that in the case of any amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6(a), such amendment shall not,
for United States federal income tax purposes, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes or (iii) cause the Issuer (or any
part thereof) to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a grantor trust of the type described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c). 

(b) Subject to subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 4.6, this Agreement (including Appendix
A) may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor with the consent of (i) the Holders of the Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance of the Controlling Class and (ii) the Majority
Certificateholders 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 or the Certificateholders; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation or priority of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that are required to be made
for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the principal amount of the 

  

							
		 	 	-8-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 
Notes Outstanding or the Certificate Percentage Interest required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of all the Noteholders and Certificateholders affected thereby; and
provided further, that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such amendment (A) will not materially adversely affect the United States federal income taxation of any
outstanding Note or Certificate and (B) for United States federal income tax purposes, will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, or cause the Issuer to be treated as
other than a grantor trust of the type described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c). 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 and
Certificateholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. 

(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide written notification of the substance of
such amendment to the Issuer; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Depositor shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. 

(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The
Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s, or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may not be amended in any way that would materially and adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s, Indenture Trustee’s, or the Administrator’s rights,
privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise without the prior written consent of such party. 
 (e) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.6, this Agreement may only be amended by the Depositor if (i) the Majority Certificateholders
or all of the Certificateholders, as the case may be, consent to such amendment or (ii) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders. It will not be necessary to obtain the consent of the Certificateholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the
Issuer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or
right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise 

  

							
		 	 	-9-	  	  	Sale Agreement (BAAT 2012-1)









 
of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Issuer or the Depositor in either case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval
by any party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval
thereafter to be granted hereunder. 
 SECTION 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and

Dealer’s business, was fully and properly executed or electronically authenticated (as defined in the UCC) by the parties thereto, was purchased by BANA from such Dealer under an existing agreement between Dealer and BANA was validly assigned
by such Dealer to BANA in accordance with its terms or (2) by BANA in the ordinary course of BANA’s business and was fully and properly executed or electronically authenticated (as defined in the UCC) by the parties thereto; 

(B) is a Simple Interest Receivable; 

(C) provides for level scheduled monthly payments (provided that the payment in the first month and the final month of the
life of the Receivable may be different by no more than three times the amount of the level payment) that shall amortize the Amount Financed of such Receivable at its origination by maturity and shall yield interest at the APR; 

(D) is payable in U.S. dollars by an Obligor that is domiciled in the United States with a mailing address in the United
States;

Financed Vehicle evidenced thereby complied at the time it was originated or made and now complies in all material respects with all legal requirements of the jurisdiction in which it was originated or made. 

(v) Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation in writing of the
Obligor thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by
equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 (vi) Security
Interest in Financed Vehicle. The Depositor has a validly perfected first priority security interest in each Receivable, and immediately prior to the sale, transfer, contribution, assignment and conveyance thereof pursuant hereto, each

 (xi) Insurance. Each Obligor under such Receivables is required to maintain a
