     SECTION 2.01.  Conveyance of Receivables.

          (a)  In consideration of the Depositor's delivery to or upon the order
of the Seller on the Closing Date of $1,500,120,934.29 (the "Purchase Price"),
the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to

herein) all right, title, and interest of the Seller in and to:

               (i)   the Receivables and all moneys received thereon after the
     close of business on April 30, 2004;

               (ii)  the security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any
     accessions thereto granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any
     other interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles;

               (iii) any Liquidation Proceeds and any other proceeds with

     or disability insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors,
     including any vendor's single interest or other collateral protection

     Assets").

that the transfer of assets by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to this
Agreement be a sale of the ownership interest in such assets to the Depositor,

of credit, banker's acceptances, uncertificated securities, general intangibles,
contract rights, goods and other property consisting of, arising from or
relating to such Conveyed Assets, which security interest shall be perfected,
and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 6.04 hereof, the
Depositor may sell, transfer and assign to the Issuer (i) all or any portion of
the assets assigned to the Depositor hereunder, (ii) all or any portion of the
Depositor's rights against the Seller under this Agreement and (iii) all
proceeds thereof. Such assignment may be made by the Depositor with or without
an assignment by the Depositor of its rights under this Agreement, and without
further notice to or acknowledgement from the Seller. The Seller waives, to the
extent permitted under applicable law, all claims, causes of action and
remedies, whether legal or equitable (including any right of setoff), against
the Depositor or any assignee of the Depositor relating to such action by the
Depositor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

     SECTION 2.02.  The Closing. The sale and purchase of the Receivables shall
take place at a closing at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767 Fifth
Avenue, New York, New York 10153 on the Closing Date, simultaneously with the
closing under (a) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Indenture and (c)

Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and
with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (lii)

     properly executed by the parties thereto, has been purchased by the Seller
     from such Dealer under an existing Dealer Agreement and has been validly
     assigned by such Dealer to the Seller or by such

                                        8

<PAGE>

     Dealer to BMW Bank, which has validly assigned the same to the Seller,
     except that certain Receivables originated through the "Lease to Loan"
     program were not originated by Dealers, but directly by the Seller or BMW
     Bank, (B) has created or shall create a valid, subsisting and enforceable
     first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Seller in the
     Financed Vehicle, which security interest is assignable by the Seller to
     the Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Issuer, (C) contains customary
     and enforceable provisions such that the rights and remedies of the holder
     thereof are adequate for realization against the collateral of the benefits
     of the security, (D) provides for fixed level monthly payments (provided
     that the payment in the last month of the term of the Receivable may be
     different from the level scheduled payments) that fully amortize the Amount
     Financed by maturity and yield interest at the APR and (E) amortizes using
     the Simple Interest Method.

               (ii)      Compliance with Law. Each Receivable and the sale of
     the related Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or
     made, and at the time of execution of this Agreement complies, in all
     material respects with all requirements of applicable federal, state and,
     to the best knowledge of the Seller, local laws, rulings and regulations
     thereunder, including usury laws, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the

     state adaptations of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer
     Credit Code, and other consumer credit laws and equal credit opportunity
     and disclosure laws applicable to such Receivable.

               (iii)     Binding Obligation. Each Receivable represents the
     genuine, legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the Obligor
     thereon, enforceable by the holder thereof in accordance with its terms,
     except (A) as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
     insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
     creditors' rights generally and by equitable limitations on the
     availability of specific remedies, regardless of whether such
     enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and (B) as
     such Receivable may be modified by the application after the Transfer Date
     of the Relief Act or the Military Reservist Relief Act of 1991.

               (iv)      No Government Obligor. No Receivable is due from the
     United States of America or any State or any agency, department,
     subdivision or instrumentality thereof.

     Obligor is or has been, since the origination of the related Receivable,
     the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

     of the Indenture.

               (viii)    Computer Tape. The computer tape regarding the
     Receivables made available by the Seller to the Depositor is complete and
     accurate in all material respects as of the Cutoff Date.

               (ix)      No Adverse Selection. No selection procedures (other
     than those specified herein) believed by the Seller to be adverse to the
     Noteholders or the Certificateholders were utilized in selecting the
     Receivables.

               (x)       [Reserved].

               (xi)      One Original. There is only one original executed copy
     of each Receivable.

               (xii)     Receivables in Force. No Receivable has been satisfied,
     subordinated or rescinded, nor has any Financed Vehicle been released from
     the Lien of the related Receivable in whole or in part. None of the terms
     of any Receivable has been waived, altered or modified in any respect since
     its origination, except by instruments or documents identified in the
     related Receivable File. No Receivable has been modified as a result of the
     application of the Relief Act or the Military Reservist Relief Act, as
     amended.

               (xiii)    Lawful Assignment. No Receivable has been originated
     in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction the laws of which would
     make unlawful, void or voidable the sale, transfer and assignment of such
     Receivable under this Agreement or the pledge of such Receivable under the
     Indenture.

               (xiv)     Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the
     transfers and assignments herein contemplated constitute sales of the
     Receivables from the Seller to the Depositor and that the beneficial
     interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate
     in the event of the appointment of a receiver or conservator for the Seller
     under any receivership, bankruptcy law, insolvency or banking law.
     Immediately prior to the Closing Date, no Receivable has been sold,
     transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than to
     the Depositor or pursuant to this Agreement (or by the Depositor to any
     other Person other than to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing

                                       10

     Agreement). Immediately prior to the transfers and assignments herein
     contemplated, the Seller has good and marketable title to each Receivable
     free and clear of all Liens, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof,
     the Depositor shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free
     and clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the transfer thereof from the
     Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
     Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and
     clear of all Liens and, immediately upon the pledge thereof from the Issuer
     to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee
     shall have a first priority perfected security interest in each Receivable.

               (xv)      Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. Immediately
     prior to its sale, assignment and transfer to the Depositor pursuant to
     this Agreement, each Receivable is secured by a first priority perfected
     security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of BMW FS as
     secured party, or all necessary and appropriate actions have been commenced
     that will result in the valid perfection of a first priority security
     interest in such Financed Vehicle in favor of the BMW FS as secured party.
     The Lien Certificate for each Financed Vehicle shows, or if a new or
     replacement Lien Certificate is being applied for with respect to such
     Financed Vehicle such Lien Certificate shall be received within 120 days of
     the Closing Date and shall show, BMW FS or a predecessor in interest named
     as the original secured party under each Receivable as the holder of a
     first priority security interest in such Financed Vehicle. With respect to
     each Receivable for which the Lien Certificate has not yet been returned
     from the Registrar of Titles, BMW FS has received written evidence that
     such Lien Certificate showing BMW FS or BMW Bank as first lienholder has
     been applied for. Each Dealer's security interest in any Receivable
     originated by such Dealer has been validly assigned by the Dealer to BMW FS
     or to BMW Bank, which has validly assigned it to BMW FS. BMW FS' security
     interest has been validly assigned to the Depositor pursuant to this
     Agreement. BMW FS has the legal right to repossess or recover by legal
     process the Financed Vehicle in its name.

               (xvi)     All Filings Made. All filings (including UCC filings)
     required to be made in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a first
     perfected ownership interest in the Receivables and the Indenture Trustee a
     first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables have been
     made or will be made on the Closing Date.

               (xvii)    No Defenses. No Receivable is subject to any right of
     rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the defense
     of usury, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Receivable or
     otherwise, and the operation of any terms of the Receivable or the exercise
     by the Seller or the Obligor of any right under the Receivable will not
     render the Receivable unenforceable in whole or in part, and no such right
     of rescission, setoff, counterclaim, dispute or defense, including the
     defense of usury, has been asserted with respect thereto.

                                       11

<PAGE>

               (xviii)   No Default. There has been no default, breach,
     violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms of any
     Receivable (other than payment delinquencies of not more than 30 days) as
     of the Cutoff Date, and no condition exists or event has occurred and is
     continuing that with notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a
     default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under the terms
     of any Receivable, and there has been no waiver of any of the foregoing. On
     or prior to the Transfer Date, no Financed Vehicle has been repossessed.

               (xix)     Insurance. The Seller, in accordance with its customary
     procedures, has determined that the Obligor has obtained physical damage
     insurance covering each Financed Vehicle and, under the terms of the
     related Receivable, the Obligor is required to maintain such insurance.

               (xx)      Final Scheduled Maturity Date. No Receivable has a
     final scheduled payment date later than six months prior to the Class B
     Final Scheduled Payment Date.

               (xxi)     Certain Characteristics of the Receivables. As of the
     Cutoff Date, (A) each Receivable had an original maturity of not less than
     12 or more than 66 months and (B) no Receivable was more than 30 days past
     due.

               (xxii)    No Foreign Obligor. All of the Receivables are due from
     Obligors with billing addresses within the United States of America, its
     territories and possessions.

               (xxiii)   No Extensions. The number or timing of scheduled
     payments has not been changed on any Receivable on or before the Closing
     Date, except as reflected on the computer tape delivered in connection with
     the sale of the Receivables.

               (xxiv)    Scheduled Payments. Each Receivable had a first
     scheduled payment due on or prior to 45 calendar days after the origination
     date thereof. Each Obligor has been instructed to make all scheduled
     payments to BMW FS. To the best knowledge of the Seller, each Obligor has
     paid the entire down payment called for by the Contract.

               (xxv)     Receivable Files Complete. There exists a Receivable
     File pertaining to each Receivable and such Receivable File contains,
     without limitation, (A) a fully executed original of the Receivable, (B)
     the original Lien Certificate or application therefor together with such
     other documents that the Seller shall keep on file in accordance with its
     customary procedures evidencing the security interest of the Seller in the
     related Financed Vehicle, and (C) any and all other documents that the
     Servicer shall have kept on file in accordance with its customary
     procedures relating to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. Each
     of such documents that is required to be signed by the Obligor has been

                                       12

<PAGE>

     signed by the Obligor in the appropriate spaces. All blanks on any form
     described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph have been properly
     filled in and each form has otherwise been correctly prepared in all
     material respects. Notwithstanding the above, the complete Receivable File
     for each Receivable, (x) shall fulfill the documentation requirements of
     the Seller's credit policies as in effect on the date of origination of
     such Receivable and (y) is in possession of the Servicer and/or Custodian,
     as applicable, on the Transfer Date. The blanket power of attorney granted
     to the Indenture Trustee and the original Lien Certificate are the only
     documents necessary to permit the Indenture Trustee to submit the Lien
     Certificate for each Financed Vehicle for retitling in the name of the
     Indenture Trustee as secured party in the event such retitling were
     required or otherwise permitted under the Basic Documents.

               (xxvi)    Receivables Not Assumable. No Receivable is assumable
     by another person in a manner which would release the Obligor thereof from
     such Obligor's obligations to the Seller with respect to such Receivable.

               (xxvii)   Tax Liens. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there
     is no Lien against any Financed Vehicle for delinquent taxes.

               (xxviii)  No Impairment. The Seller has not done anything to
     convey any right to any person that would result in such person having a
     right to payments due under a Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights
     of the Depositor in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

               (xxix)    Servicing. Each Receivable has been serviced in
     conformity with all applicable laws, rules and regulation and in conformity
     with the Seller's policies and procedures which are consistent with
     customary, prudent industry standards.

               (xxx)     No Liens. No Liens or claims have been filed for work,
     labor, or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle that are prior to, or
     equal or coordinate with, the security interest in the Financed Vehicle
     granted by the related Receivable.

               (xxxi)    APR. No Receivable has an APR of less than 0% and the
     weighted average coupon on the pool of Receivables is at least 4.77%.

               (xxxii)   Remaining Term. Each Receivable has a remaining term of
     at least 3 months and no more than 66 months.

               (xxxiii)  Seasoning. The weighted average number of months since
     the initial installment due date for the Receivables is at least three
     months.

               (xxxiv)   Remaining Balance. Each Receivable has a remaining
     balance of at least $1008.23.

                                       13

<PAGE>

               (xxxv)    New Vehicles. At least 43.87% of the aggregate
     principal balance of the Receivables is secured by Financed Vehicles which
     were new at the date of origination.

               (xxxvi)   No Repossessions. No Financed Vehicle has been
     repossessed prior to the Transfer Date.

               (xxxvii)  Initial Payment. The Obligor with respect to each
     Receivable has made at least one scheduled payment.

               (xxxviii) No Proceedings. As of the Cutoff Date, there are no
     proceedings pending, or to the best of the Seller's knowledge, threatened,
     wherein the Obligor or any governmental agency has alleged that any
     Receivable is illegal or unenforceable.

               (xxxix)   Dealer Agreement. Each Dealer from whom the Seller (or
     BMW Bank) purchases Receivables directly has entered into a Dealer
     Agreement with the Seller (or BMW Bank) providing for the sale of
     Receivables from time to time by such Dealer to the Seller (or BMW Bank).
     Each Dealer Agreement is substantially in the form attached to the Sale and
     Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D, except for immaterial modifications or
     deviations from the Dealer Agreement. Such modifications and deviations
     from the Dealer Agreement will not have a material adverse effect on the
     Noteholders.

               (xl)      Obligations Fulfilled. To the best of its knowledge,
     BMW FS has duly fulfilled all obligations to be fulfilled on its part under
     or in connection with the origination, acquisition and assignment of the
     Receivables.

               (xli)     No Consent. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no
     notice to or consent from any Obligor is necessary to effect the
     acquisition of the Receivables by the Depositor or the Trust or the pledge
     of the Receivables by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee.

               (xlii)    No Transfer Taxes. The sale, transfer, assignment and
     conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement is
     not subject to and will not result in any tax, fee or governmental charge
     payable by the Depositor, the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
     to any federal, state or local government ("Transfer Taxes") other than
     Transfer Taxes which have or will be paid by the Seller as due. In the
     event the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee receives actual
     notice of any Transfer Taxes arising out of the transfer, assignment and
     conveyance of the Receivables, on written demand by the Depositor, the
     Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, or upon the Seller's otherwise being given
     notice thereof by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the
     Seller shall pay, and otherwise indemnify and hold the Depositor, the
     Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and
     against any and all such Transfer Taxes (it being understood that the
     Depositor, the

                                       14

<PAGE>

     Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer shall have no obligation
     to pay such Transfer Taxes).

               (xliii)   Aggregate Balance. The aggregate principal balance of
     the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date is equal to $1,500,120,934.29.

               (xliv)    Geographic Distribution. No more than 4.28% of the
     aggregate principal balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date is
     attributable to Receivables with Obligors having a billing address in any
     single State other than California, Texas, Florida, New York, and New
     Jersey, which represent no more than 23.22%, 8.01%, 6.62%, 6.16% and 6.09%,
     respectively.

               (xlv)     No Advances. No advances have been made to Obligors in
     order to meet any representation and warranties herein set forth; provided,
     however, that Receivables may have had up to four extensions prior to the
     Cutoff Date, subject to the following: (A) each such extension was made in
     conformity with the Seller's "Extension Policy" and (B) each extended
     Receivable satisfies in all material respects all applicable requirements
     under BMW FS' credit and collection policies as of the date of its
     origination.

               (xlvi)    Amount Financed. At the time each Receivable was
     acquired from the Dealer, the Amount Financed was fully disbursed. There is
     no requirement for future advances of principal thereunder, and all fees
     and expenses in connection with the origination of such Receivable have
     been paid.

               (xlvii)   Tape. The computer tape from which the selection of the
     Receivables being acquired on the Closing Date was made available to the
     accountants that are providing a comfort letter to the Depositor, the
     Underwriters and the Noteholders in connection with the numerical
     information regarding the Receivables and the Notes contained in the
     Prospectus Supplement and such information in the Prospectus Supplement
     with respect to the Receivables and the Notes was complete and accurate as
     of its date and includes a description of the same Receivables that are
     described in Schedule I to this Agreement.

               (xlviii)  Insurance. In connection with the purchase of each
     Receivable, the Seller (or BMW Bank) required the related Dealer to furnish
     evidence that the related Financed Vehicle was covered by a physical damage
     insurance policy (i) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) the
     actual cash value of the related Financed Vehicle or (b) the unpaid
     principal balance owing on such Receivable, (ii) naming the Seller (or BMW
     Bank) as a loss payee and (iii) insuring against loss and damage due to
     fire, theft, transportation, collision and other risks generally covered by
     comprehensive and collision coverage.

               (xlix)    Dealer Agreement Binding. Each Dealer that sold a
     Receivable to BMW FS (or BMW Bank) has entered into the Dealer Agreement
     and such Dealer Agreement, together with the assignment and related

                                       15

<PAGE>

     documentation signed by the Dealer, constitutes the entire agreement
     between BMW FS (or BMW Bank) and the related Dealer with respect to the
     sale of such Receivable to BMW FS (or BMW Bank). Each such Dealer Agreement
     is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation
     of such Dealer, there have been no material defaults by BMW FS (or BMW
     Bank) under such Dealer Agreement; BMW FS (or BMW Bank) has fully performed
     all of its obligations under such Dealer Agreement; BMW FS (or BMW Bank)
     has not made any statements or representations to such Dealer (whether
     written or oral) inconsistent with any term of such Dealer Agreement; the
     purchase price (as specified in the applicable Dealer Agreement) for such
     Receivable has been paid in full, other than any dealer reserve, by BMW FS
     (or BMW Bank); and any payment owed to such Dealer by BMW FS (or BMW Bank)
     is a corporate obligation of BMW FS (or BMW Bank).

               (l)       Good Working Order. Each Receivable requires the
     Obligor to maintain the related Financed Vehicle in good and workable order
     and to obtain and maintain physical damage insurance on the related
     Financed Vehicle subject thereto and to name the Seller as a loss payee.

               (li)      No Consumer Lease. No Receivable constitutes a
     "consumer lease" under either (a) the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction
     whose law governs the Receivable or (b) the Consumer Leasing Act, 15 USC
     1667.

               (lii)     Valid Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid
     and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the
     Receivables in favor of the Depositor, which security interest is prior to
     all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
     purchasers from the Seller.

               (liii)    Perfection. The Seller has taken all steps necessary to
     perfect its security interest against the Obligors in the property securing
     the Receivables.

               (liv)     Tangible Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes
     "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

               (lv)      Good and Marketable Title. The Seller owns and has good
     and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim
     or encumbrance of any Person.

               (lvi)     Filing of Financing Statements. The Seller has caused
     or will have caused, within ten days, the filing of all appropriate
     financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
     jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security
     interest in the Receivables granted to the Depositor hereunder.

                                       16

<PAGE>

               (lvii)    Other Financing Statements. Other than the security
     interest granted to the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller
     has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or
     otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Seller has not authorized
     the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the
     Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables
     other than any financing statement relating to the security interest
     granted to the Depositor hereunder or that has been terminated. The Seller
     is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

               (lviii)   Original Contracts. The Seller has in its possession
     all original copies of the Contracts that constitute or evidence the
     Receivables. The Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do
     not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged,
     assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Depositor. All
     financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of
     the Depositor in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a
     statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or security interest in
     any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the
     rights of the Depositor."

Indenture Trustee as follows:

     SECTION 5.01.  Protection of Right, Title and Interest.

          (a)  Filings. The Seller shall cause at its own expense all financing
statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents
covering the right, title and interest of the Seller, the Depositor, the Trust
and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in and to the Receivables and the other
property included in the Trust Estate to be promptly filed and at all times to
be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as

interest of the Depositor hereunder, the Trust under the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture in and to the
Receivables and the other property included in the Trust Estate. The Seller
shall deliver to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee file stamped copies of,
or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided
above, as soon as available following such recordation, registration or filing.
The Depositor shall cooperate fully with the Seller in connection with the
obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably
required to fulfill the intent of this paragraph.

          (b)  Name Change. If the Seller makes any change in its jurisdiction
of organization (within the meaning of the applicable UCC), name or corporate
structure that would make any financing statement or continuation statement
filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the
applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Seller shall give the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee written notice thereof at
least 45 days prior to such change and shall promptly file such financing
statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the
Depositor's interest in the Conveyed Assets.

     SECTION 5.02.  Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances
hereunder and pursuant to the Basic Documents, the Seller shall not sell,
pledge, assign or transfer to any Person, or grant, create, incur, assume, or
suffer to exist any Lien on, or any interest in, to or under the Receivables,
and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Depositor, the
Trust and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Receivables against all
claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

     SECTION 5.03.  Costs and Expenses. BMW FS agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection, as against all third
parties, of the Depositor's, the Issuer's and the Indenture Trustee's right,
title and interest in and to the Receivables and the other property included in
the Trust Estate.

     SECTION 5.04.  Hold Harmless. BMW FS shall protect, defend, indemnify and
hold the Depositor, the Issuer, the Underwriters and their respective assigns
and their employees, officers and directors harmless from and against all
losses, liabilities, claims and damages of every kind and character, including
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, resulting from or
relating to or arising out of (i) the

                                       20

<PAGE>

inaccuracy, nonfulfillment or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement, (ii) any legal action,
including, without limitation, any counterclaim, that has either been settled by
the litigants or has proceeded to judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction,
in either case to the extent it is based upon alleged facts that, if true, would
constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made
by the Seller in this Agreement, or (iii) any failure of a Receivable to be
originated in compliance with all applicable requirements of law. These
indemnity obligations shall be in addition to any obligation that the Seller may
otherwise have.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

this Agreement shall not be affected by reason of any invalidity, illegality or
irregularity of any Receivable.

     SECTION 6.02.  Repurchase Events. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees
with the Depositor for the benefit of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders that the
occurrence of a breach of any of the Seller's representations and warranties
contained in Section 3.02(a)(ii) and 3.02(b) that materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee,
the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in any Receivable, without regard to
any limitation set forth in such representation or warranty concerning the
knowledge of the Seller as to the facts stated therein, shall constitute an
event obligating the Seller to repurchase the Receivables to which such failure
or breach is applicable (each, a "Repurchase Event"), at the Purchase Amount,
from the Depositor or from the Issuer, as applicable, unless any such failure or
breach shall have been cured by the last day of the first Collection Period
following the discovery or notice thereof by or to the Seller or the Servicer.

     SECTION 6.03.  Depositor Assignment of Repurchased Receivables. With
respect to all Receivables repurchased by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement,

repurchasing Seller all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to
such Receivables and all security and documents relating thereto.

will pledge the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee, and (2) the

transfers and assignments and agrees that enforcement of a right or remedy
hereunder by

                                       21

the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Issuer shall have the same force
and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the
Depositor.

with prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, but without the consent of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders, by a written amendment duly executed and
delivered by the Seller and the Depositor, 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 Noteholders or
Certificateholders; provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, materially and adversely affect the interest of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder; provided further, that such action shall not be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any

Notes or the Certificates that is required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and
Certificates.

     SECTION 6.06.  Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Depositor,
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power, right or remedy
under this Agreement or the Bill of Sale shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor

any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right

 As security for the payment and performance of all of Debtor’s obligations to UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A., (herein called “Bank”), regardless of the
manner in which or the time at which such obligations arose or shall arise, whether direct or indirect, alone or with others, or absolute or contingent, Debtor hereby grants a continuing security interest in, and assigns and transfers to Bank, the
following personal property, whether or not delivered to or in the possession or control of Bank or its agents, and whether now or hereafter owned or in existence, and all proceeds thereof (hereinafter called the “Collateral”): 

 
 Savings Account in the name(s) of Tripath Technology Inc. and any sums now or hereafter
on deposit in the account(s) and any renewals, extensions, or replacements of the account. 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 1. The term
“credit” or “indebtedness” is used throughout this Agreement in its broadest and most comprehensive sense. Credit may be granted at the request of any one Debtor without further authorization by or notice to any other Debtor.
Collateral shall be security for all nonconsumer indebtedness of Debtor to Bank in accordance with the terms and conditions herein. 
  
 2. Debtor will: (a) pay when due all indebtedness to Bank; (b) execute such other documents and do such other acts and things as Bank may from time to time require to
establish and maintain a valid perfected security interest in Collateral, including payment of all costs and fees in connection with any of the foregoing when deemed necessary by Bank; (c) furnish Bank such information concerning Debtor and
Collateral as Bank may from time to time request, including but not limited to current financial statements; (d) keep Collateral separate and identifiable where such Collateral is currently located and permit Bank and its representatives to inspect
Collateral and/or records pertaining thereto from time to time during normal business hours; (e) not sell, assign or create or permit to exist any lien on or security interest in Collateral in favor of anyone other than Bank unless Bank consents
thereto in writing and at Debtor’s expense upon Bank’s request remove any unauthorized lien or security interest and defend any claim affecting the Collateral; (f) pay all charges against Collateral prior to delinquency including but not
limited to taxes, assessments, encumbrances, insurance and diverse claims, and upon Debtor’s failure to do so Bank may pay any such charge as it deems necessary and add the amount paid to the indebtedness of Debtor hereunder; (g) protect,
defend and maintain the Collateral and the perfected security interest of Bank and initiate, commence and maintain any action or proceeding to protect the Collateral; (h) reimburse Bank for any expenses, including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses (including the allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel and legal staff) incurred by Bank in seeking to protect, collect or enforce any rights in Collateral; (i) when required, provide insurance in form and
amounts and with companies acceptable to Bank and when required, assign the policies or the rights thereunder to Bank; (j) maintain Collateral in good condition and not use Collateral for any unlawful purpose; (k) perform all of the obligations of
the Debtor under the Collateral and save Bank harmless from the consequence of any failure to do so; and (l) at its own expense, upon request of Bank, notify any parties obligated to Debtor on any Collateral to make payment to Bank and Debtor hereby
irrevocably grants Bank power of attorney to make said notifications and collections. Debtor hereby appoints Bank the true and lawful attorney of Debtor and authorizes Bank to perform any and all acts which Bank in good faith deems necessary for the
protection and preservation of Collateral or its value or Bank’s perfected security interest therein, including transferring any Collateral into its own name and receiving the income thereon as additional security hereunder. Bank does not
assume any of the obligations arising under the Collateral. 
  
 3. Debtor warrants
that: (a) it is and will be the lawful owner of all Collateral free of all claims, liens, encumbrances and setoffs whatsoever, other than the security interest granted pursuant hereto; (b) it has the capacity to grant a security interest in
Collateral to Bank; (c) all information furnished by Debtor to Bank heretofore or hereafter, whether oral or written, is and will be correct and true as of the date given; and (d) if Debtor is an entity, the execution, delivery and performance
hereof are within its powers and have been duly authorized. 
  
 4. The term
default shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) failure of Debtor to make any payment of any indebtedness to Bank when due; (b) deterioration or impairment of the value of any of the Collateral; (c) any breach,
misrepresentation or other default by Debtor under this Agreement or any other agreements between Bank and Debtor; (d) [intentionally omitted] or (e) the deterioration of financial condition of Debtor which results in Bank deeming itself, in good
faith, insecure. 
  
 5. Whenever a default exists, Bank, at its option, may: (a)
without notice accelerate the maturity of any part or all of the indebtedness and terminate any agreement for the granting of further credit to Debtor; (b) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of Collateral at public or private sale; (c) transfer any
Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee; (d) retain Collateral in satisfaction of obligations 

 
secured hereby, with notice or such retention sent to Debtor as required by law; (e) notify any parties obligated on any 
 Collateral consisting of accounts, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action or the like to make payment to Bank and enforce collection of any Collateral; (f) file any
action or proceeding which Bank may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of the Bank in the Collateral; (g) require Debtor to assemble and deliver any Collateral to Bank at a reasonably convenient place
designated by Bank; (h) apply all sums received or collected from or on account of Collateral, including the proceeds of any sale thereof, to the payment of the costs and expenses incurred in preserving and enforcing rights of Bank, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees (including the allocated costs of Bank’s in-house counsel and legal staff), and indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as Bank in its sole discretion determines; Bank shall account to Debtor for any
surplus remaining thereafter, and shall pay such surplus to the party entitled thereto, including any second secured party who has made a proper demand upon Bank and has furnished proof to Bank as requested in the manner provided by law; in like
manner, Debtor agrees to pay to Bank without demand any deficiency after any Collateral has been disposed of and proceeds applied as aforesaid; and (i) exercise its banker’s lien or right of setoff in the same manner as though the credit were
unsecured, Bank shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of California and in any jurisdiction where enforcement is sought, whether in said state or elsewhere. All rights, powers and remedies of
Bank hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative. No delay on the part of Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof and no exercise by Bank of any right or remedy shall preclude the exercise of any other
right or remedy or further exercise of the same remedy. 
  
 6. Debtor waives: (a)
all right to require Bank to proceed against any other person including any other Debtor hereunder or to apply any Collateral Bank may hold at any time or to pursue any other remedy; Collateral, endorsers or guarantors may be released, substituted
or added without affecting the liability of Debtor hereunder; (b) the defense of the Statute of Limitations in any action upon any obligations of Debtor secured hereby; (c) any right of subrogation and any right to participate in Collateral until
all obligations secured hereby have been paid in full; (d) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to oppose the appointment of a receiver or similar official to operate Debtor’s business. 
  
 7. The right of Bank to have recourse against Collateral shall not be affected in any way by
the fact that the credit is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien upon real property. 
  
 8. The security interest granted herein is irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until there is payment in full of the indebtedness or the security interest is released in writing by Bank. 

 
 9. Debtor shall be obligated to request the release, reassignment or return of Collateral
after the payment in full of all existing obligations. Bank shall be under no duty or obligation to release, reassign or return any collateral except upon the express written request of Debtor and then only where all of Debtor’s obligations
hereunder have been paid in full. 
  
 10. If more than one Debtor executes this
Agreement, the obligations hereunder are joint and several. All words used herein in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural when the context and construction so require. Any married person who signs this Agreement expressly
agrees that recourse may be had against his/her separate properly for all of his/her obligations to Bank. 
  
 11. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind Bank, its successors and assigns and each of the undersigned, their respective heirs executors, administrators and successors in interest. Upon transfer by
Bank of any part of the obligations secured hereby, Bank shall be fully discharged from any liability with respect to Collateral transferred therewith. 
  
 12. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but, if any provision of
this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provisions shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

  
 The grant of a security interest in proceeds does not imply the right of
Debtor to sell or dispose of any Collateral without the express consent in writing by Bank.
