TRANSFER OF 2014-1 SUBI CERTIFICATE


 


Section 2.01.      Transfer of 2014-1 SUBI Certificate.  In consideration of the Transferee’s delivery to, or upon the order of, the Transferor of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes and the Trust Certificates (the “Transfer Price”), the Transferor hereby absolutely sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire all of the following (collectively, the “Assets”):


 


(i)           all right, title and interest in and to the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate and the interest in the 2014-1 SUBI represented thereby, including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;


 


(ii)           the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the 2014-1 SUBI represented by the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate;


 


(iii)           all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as Holder of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate under the Servicing Agreement and the SUBI Trust Agreement;


 


(iv)           all of the Transferor’s rights to and benefits in the 2014-1 SUBI under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement; and


 


(v)           all proceeds of the foregoing.


 


Section 2.02.      True Sale.  The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets constitute a true sale and assignment of the Assets such that any interest in and title to the Assets would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in the event the Transferor becomes a debtor in a case under any bankruptcy law.  To the extent that the conveyance of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as a financing, it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee that the interest conveyed constitutes a first priority grant of a perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York by the Transferor to the Transferee to secure the security obligations of the Transferor under the Basic Documents.  The Transferor does hereby grant to the Transferee a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges and interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law.


 


Section 2.03.      Representations and Warranties of the Transferor and the Transferee.

otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of laws (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).


 


Section 3.03.      Severability.

Section 3.10.      No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Transferor under this Agreement are non-recourse obligations of the Transferor, and shall be payable by the Transferor, solely from the proceeds of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate and the Servicing Agreement, but only to the extent of any interest of the Transferor therein. No amount owing by the Transferor hereunder in excess of the liabilities that it is required to pay in accordance with the preceding sentence shall constitute a “claim” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against it.  In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferee is deemed to have any interest in any Trust Assets or Other SUBI Assets that may be acquired by the Transferor from time to time, the Transferee agrees to fully subordinate all claims it may be deemed to have against the Trust Assets allocated to the UTI Portfolio and each other SUBI Portfolio.  The agreement set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute a subordination agreement for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.   No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing hereunder or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation of, or claim against, the Transferor arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director or authorized person of the Transferor or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such person or entity of any liability they might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions or omissions taken by them.


 


Section 3.11.      Acknowledgement and Agreement.  By execution below, the Transferor expressly acknowledges and consents to the pledge of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate and the 2014-1 SUBI and the assignment of all rights and obligations of the Transferor related thereto by the Transferee to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders.  In addition, the Transferor hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Transferee under this Agreement.


 


Section 3.12.      Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been signed by Wilmington Trust, National Association not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall Wilmington Trust, National Association in its individual capacity or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, as Owner Trustee of the Issuer have any liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Indenture.

Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants







In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, BMW Auto Leasing LLC, as transferor (the “Transferor”), hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to BMW Vehicle Lease Trust 2014-1, as transferee (the “Transferee”), as follows on the Closing Date:







1.           The Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.







2. The 2014-1 SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.







3. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.







4. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate under the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement to the Transferee required by the terms of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate to the extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.







5. The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate under the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement.







6. The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee and the security interest in the






  





I-1











  













2014-1 SUBI Certificate granted under the Issuer SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement.







7. To the extent that the 2014-1 SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee.
