BMW FS Securities LLC (the “Depositor”) proposes to cause BMW Vehicle Owner Trust 2013-A (the “Trust”) to issue and sell $215,000,000 principal amount of its 0.23000% Class A-1 Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), $221,000,000 principal amount of its 0.41% Class A-2 Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), $265,000,000 principal amount of its 0.67% Class A-3 Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”) and $49,000,000 principal amount of its 1.12% Class A-4 Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “ Notes”) to the several underwriters set forth on Schedule I (each, an “Underwriter”), for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is acting as representative (the “Representative”) pursuant to the terms of this underwriting agreement dated October 29, 2013 by and among the Depositor, BMW Financial Services NA, LLC (“BMW Financial Services”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, on behalf of itself and as Representative for the several Underwriters (this “Agreement”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”). The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts transferred to the Trust on the Closing Date referred to in Section 3(a) hereof (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles, motorcycles and light-duty trucks financed thereby (the “Vehicles”) and certain monies received thereunder after the close of business on September 30, 2013 (the “Cutoff Date”) and other property and proceeds thereof to be conveyed to the Trust pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Trust, BMW Financial Services, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), sponsor, administrator and custodian, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will sell the Receivables to the Trust and the Servicer will service the Receivables on behalf of the Trust. In addition, pursuant to an Owner Trust Administration Agreement dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Owner Trust Administration Agreement”), among the Trust, BMW Financial Services, as administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), and the Indenture Trustee, BMW Financial Services will agree to perform certain administrative duties on behalf of the Trust. The

Depositor formed the Trust pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated July 19, 2013, as amended and restated as of November 6, 2013 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). The Certificates, each representing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, will be issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

The Depositor will acquire the Receivables from BMW Financial Services pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “BMW FS Receivables Purchase Agreement”), between the Depositor and BMW Financial Services and from BMW Bank of North America (“BMW Bank”) pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement” and, together with the BMW FS Receivables Purchase Agreement, the “Receivables Purchase Agreements”), between the Depositor and BMW Bank.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as the case may be. As used herein, the term “Transaction Documents” refers to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements, the Owner Trust Administration Agreement and the Note Depository Letter.

At or prior to the time when sales (including any contracts of sale) of the Notes were first made to investors by the Underwriters, which shall be deemed to be 2:05 p.m. on October 29, 2013 (the “Time of Sale”), the Depositor had prepared the following information (together, as a whole, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) the base prospectus dated October 28, 2013 (the “Base Prospectus”) and the free writing prospectus dated October 28, 2013 as supplemented by the free writing prospectus dated October 29, 2013 (together, along with any information referred to under the captions “Static Pools” and “Appendix A –Static Pool Information” therein, the “Initial Free Writing Prospectus”), and (ii) each “free writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)), if any, or other preliminary prospectus, if any, listed on Schedule III hereto (as it may be amended with the approval in writing of the parties hereto). If, subsequent to the Time of Sale and prior to the Closing Date, it is determined by the parties that such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the investors may terminate their “contracts of sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Act) (each, a “Contract of Sale”). If, following any such termination, the Underwriters, with prior written notice to the Depositor and BMW Financial Services, enter into new contracts of sale with investors for the Notes, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the documents agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Representative that correct such material misstatements or omissions (the “Corrected Time of Sale Information”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date agreed upon by the Depositor and the Representative.

SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Notes. (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to cause the Trust to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I hereto, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to “Price $” as specified on Schedule II hereto. Delivery of and payment for the Notes shall be made at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022, at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on November 6, 2013 (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representative and the Depositor, the “Closing Date”). Delivery of one or more global notes representing the Notes shall be made against payment of the aggregate purchase price in immediately available funds drawn to the order of the Depositor. The global notes to be so delivered shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The interests of beneficial owners of the Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive Notes representing the Notes will be available only under those limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture.

(b) The Depositor hereby acknowledges that the payment of monies pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (a “Payment”) by or on behalf of the Underwriters of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Notes. Only execution and delivery, by facsimile or otherwise, of a receipt for Notes by the Representative indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Notes from the Depositor. Furthermore, in the event that the Underwriters make a Payment to the Depositor prior to the completion of the closing of a purchase of Notes, the Depositor hereby acknowledges that until the Representative executes and delivers such receipt for the Notes the Depositor will not be entitled to the Payment and shall return the Payment to the Underwriters as soon as practicable (by wire transfer of same-day funds) upon demand. In the event that the closing of a purchase of Notes is not completed and the Payment is not returned by the Depositor to the Underwriters on the same day the Payment was received by the Depositor, the Depositor agrees to pay to the Underwriters in respect of each day the Payment is not returned by it, in same-day funds, interest on the amount of such Payment in an amount representing the Underwriters’ cost of financing as reasonably determined by the Representative.

(c) It is understood that Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Notes to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters. No such Payment shall relieve such Underwriter or Underwriters from any of its or their obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Notes for sale to the public (which may include selected dealers) on the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

SECTION 5. Covenants of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services. The Depositor and BMW Financial Services, as applicable, each covenant and agree with the Underwriters as set forth below. For purposes of this Section, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services shall jointly make each of the covenants set forth below in clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (g),

(h), (i), (k), (l) and (m) and the entity specified in the covenant below shall make the covenants set forth in all of the other clauses below.

(a) The Depositor will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, without charge, as many electronic copies of the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters reasonably request.

(b) The Depositor will file the Prospectus, properly completed, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) no later than the second business day following the date it is first used. The Depositor will file with the Commission each Free Writing Prospectus or preliminary prospectus listed on Schedule III or approved in writing by the Depositor and any “issuer information” (as defined above) included in any Free Writing Prospectus permitted by this Agreement that the Depositor is required to file under the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and in each case will do so within the applicable period of time required under the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will advise the Representative promptly of any such filings.

(c) During the time that the Underwriters are required to deliver a prospectus to investors, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services will advise the Representative promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information and will not effect or file any such amendment or supplement without the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will advise the Representative promptly of the effectiveness of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any order or action suspending the right to use the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information. Each of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued. The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will comply with the Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations contemplated thereunder so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Notes as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. The Depositor will file with the Commission all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) The Depositor will arrange for the qualification of the Notes for offering and sale in each jurisdiction as the Representative shall designate including, but not limited to, pursuant to applicable state securities Blue Sky laws of certain states of the United States of America or other U.S. jurisdictions so designated, and the Depositor shall maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be necessary in order to complete the placement of the Notes; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign limited liability company or as a securities dealer in any jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Depositor will promptly advise the Representative of the receipt by the Depositor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(e) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered by an Underwriter or dealer either (i) any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information to comply with the Act, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services promptly will notify the Representative of such event or reason and promptly will prepare, at their own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission. Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ distribution of, any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof.

(f) The Depositor will cooperate with the Representative and use its best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

(g) BMW Financial Services and the Depositor shall (i) furnish or make available to the Underwriters or their counsel such additional documents and information regarding BMW Financial Services, the Depositor and their respective affairs as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request prior to the Closing Date, including any and all documentation reasonably requested in connection with their due diligence efforts regarding information in the Prospectus and in order to evidence the accuracy or completeness of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement and (ii) provide the Underwriters or their advisors, or both, prior to acceptance of their respective subscriptions, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers with respect to such matters.

(h) Until the retirement of the Notes, or until none of the Underwriters maintains a secondary market in the Notes, whichever occurs first, the Depositor shall deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative, the annual statement of compliance, the annual assessment of compliance and any annual independent certified public accountants’ attestation furnished to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Trust and solely to the extent such documents are required to be delivered to such Persons pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Indenture.

(i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Depositor shall deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative: (i) all documents distributed to Noteholders and (ii) from time to time, any other information concerning BMW Financial Services, BMW Bank, the Depositor or the Trust as the Underwriters may reasonably request only insofar as such information reasonably relates to the Prospectus or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(j) On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services shall cause their computer records relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Trust’s absolute ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date neither the Depositor nor BMW Financial Services shall take any action inconsistent with the Trust’s

ownership of such Receivables, other than as permitted by the Indenture or Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(k) To the extent, if any, that any of the ratings assigned to the Notes by any of the rating agencies that initially rate the Notes are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Depositor or BMW Financial Services, as the case may be, the relevant party shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, such documents and take any such other actions as promptly as possible.

(l) As soon as practicable, but no later than 16 months after the date hereof, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services will cause the Trust to make generally available to the Noteholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the later of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Notes and (ii) the effective date of the most recent post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to become effective prior to the date of this Agreement and, in each case, satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder).

(m) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, none of the Depositor, BMW Financial Services or any of their respective affiliates will, without the prior written consent of the Representative, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or contract to sell or announce the offering of, in a public or private transaction, any other collateralized securities similar to the Notes.

(v) There is no action, suit or other proceeding pending or threatened against any BMW Entity before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which would materially affect the business or financial condition of a BMW Entity or which would materially adversely affect the ability of a BMW Entity to perform its obligations under its organizational documents, or the Transaction Documents or this Agreement or seeks to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the Certificates or asserts the invalidity of any Transaction Document or this Agreement.

(vi) Assuming that its standard procedures are followed with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Vehicles (and such counsel has no reason to believe that BMW Financial Services or BMW Bank has not followed its standard procedures in all material respects in connection with the perfection of security interests in the Vehicles), each of BMW Financial Services and BMW Bank has acquired or will acquire a perfected first priority security interest in the related Vehicles, and such perfected first priority security interest will not be impaired by the transfer of the Receivables to the Depositor or to the Trust, as applicable.

(v) The Notes, when duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of the Depositor, executed by the Trust and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, and delivered against payment in accordance with this Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms.

(vi) No consent or approval by, or any notification of or filing with, any New York state or federal court, public body or authority (each, an “Authorization”) is required pursuant to New York state or federal law to be obtained or effected by the Depositor, BMW Financial Services, BMW Bank or the Trust in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such party of each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Note Depository Letter) to which it is a party or this Agreement, as applicable, except for such consents, approvals, notifications or filings that have been obtained or made.

Further, such counsel need not assume any responsibility for any omission resulting from the failure of the Time of Sale Information to include information identified in the Time of Sale Information as omitted.

Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States and the laws of the State of New York.

(i) Bingham McCutchen LLP, in its capacity as counsel to BMW Bank, shall have delivered an opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, with respect to the following matters:

(i) If the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) were appointed as receiver or conservator of BMW Bank under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C. § 1811 et seq. (the “FDI Act”), a court would hold that the Receivables transferred by BMW Bank Receivables to the Depositor on the Closing Date in accordance with the BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement would not be deemed to be property of the receivership or conservatorship estate of BMW Bank, and the FDIC acting as conservator or receiver for BMW Bank could not, by exercise of its authority to disaffirm or repudiate contracts under Section 11(e) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1821(e), reclaim or recover such Receivables from the Depositor or its assignees (including the Indenture Trustee) or recharacterize such Receivables as property of the receivership or conservatorship estate of BMW Bank;

(ii) If the FDIC were appointed as receiver or conservator of BMW Bank under the FDI Act and if the FDIC sought to recharacterize the transfer of the Receivables transferred by BMW Bank to the Depositor pursuant to the BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement as a grant of a security interest to secure a debt obligation, paragraphs (d)(4), (e) and (g) of the FDIC regulation entitled “Treatment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Conservator or Receiver of Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution in Connection With a Securitization or Participation After September 30, 2010,” 12 CFR § 360.6 (the “Rule”) would apply to the transfer of such Receivables by BMW Bank to the Depositor; and

(iii) If the FDIC were appointed as receiver or conservator of BMW Bank under the FDI Act and if the transfer of the BMW Bank Receivables by BMW Bank to the Depositor on the Closing Date in accordance with the BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement were deemed to be a grant of a security interest to secure an obligation of BMW Bank, a court would hold that such security interest would be enforceable against BMW Bank notwithstanding the insolvency of BMW Bank or the appointment of the FDIC as conservator or receiver of BMW Bank, subject to the requirement (if the Rule does not apply) to obtain the consent of the FDIC before the exercise by the Depositor or its assigns (including the Indenture Trustee) of any right or power to terminate, accelerate, or declare a default under the BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Indenture or liquidate the Receivables transferred by BMW Bank to the Depositor pursuant to the BMW Bank Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Indenture or affect any contractual rights of BMW Bank within 45 days or 90 days, as applicable, following the appointment of the FDIC as the conservator or receiver of BMW Bank.

(iv) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against the Indenture Trustee before any court, administrative agency or tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, or (c) that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(v) The execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture Trustee of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will not conflict with or violate any provisions of any law or regulation governing the banking and trust powers of the Indenture Trustee.

(the “Statutory Trust Act”), and has the power and authority under the Trust Agreement and the Statutory Trust Act to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Notes and the Certificates.

(ii) The Transaction Documents and performance of obligations thereunder and the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trust.

(iii) The Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with its terms.

(iv) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Trust of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation by the Trust of any of the transactions contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the withholding of objection on the part of, the giving of notice to, the filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware, other than the filing of the certificate of trust and the UCC financing statements with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(v) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Trust of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation by the Trust of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in violation of the Trust Agreement or of any law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to the Trust.

(vi) Under § 3805(b) of the Statutory Trust Act, no creditor of any Certificateholder shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Trust except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

(vii) Under the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and, assuming that the Sale and Servicing Agreement conveys good title to the Trust property to the Trust as a true sale and not as a security arrangement, the Trust rather than the holders of the Certificates will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property.

(viii) Under § 3808(a) and (b) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust may not be terminated or revoked by the holders of the Certificates, and the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of any holder of the Certificates shall not result in the termination or dissolution of the Trust, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement.

(ix) Under § 3805(c) of the Statutory Trust Act, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, a holder of a Certificate (including the Depositor in its capacity as such) has no interest in specific Trust property.

(x) The Certificates have been duly authorized and executed by the Trust and, when authenticated and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Certificates will be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

(m) The Representative shall have received an opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., special counsel to the Depositor, addressed to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that:

(i) The Depositor has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii) The limited liability company agreement of the Depositor (the “LLC Agreement”) constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of BMW Financial Services, the primary member (the “Member”) and BMW FS Receivables Corp., a Delaware corporation, as the second member of the Depositor (the “Special Member”, and together with the Member, the “Members”) and is enforceable against the Members, in accordance with its terms.

(iii) The limited liability company agreement of the Member (the “Member Agreement”) constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of BMW North America, LLC (formerly known as BMW of North America, Inc.) (“BMW”), the sole member, and is enforceable against BMW, in accordance with its terms.

(iv) Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq. (the “LLC Act”), and the LLC Agreement, the Depositor has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to perform its obligations thereunder.

(v) Under the LLC Act and the LLC Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by the Depositor of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Depositor.

(vi) Under the LLC Act and the Member Agreement, the Member has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the LLC Agreement, and to perform its obligations thereunder.

(vii) Under the LLC Act and the Member Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Member of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which

it is a party and the LLC Agreement, and the performance by the Member of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Member.

(viii) If properly presented to a Delaware court, a Delaware court applying Delaware law would conclude that (i) in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor, the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the Members, which vote must include the vote of all of the Independent Directors (as defined in the LLC Agreement) of the Special Member, as provided for in Section 2.6(d) of the LLC Agreement, is required and (ii) such provision, contained in Section 2.6(d) of the LLC Agreement, that requires the unanimous affirmative vote of all of the Members, which vote must include the vote of all of the Independent Directors of the Special Member, in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the Member, in accordance with its terms.

(ix) Under the LLC Act and the LLC Agreement, the Bankruptcy (as defined in the LLC Agreement) or dissolution of the Member will not, by itself, cause the Depositor to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.

(x) While under the LLC Act, on application to a court of competent jurisdiction, a judgment creditor of the Member may be able to charge the Member’s share of any profits and losses of the Depositor and the Member’s right to receive distributions of the Depositor’s assets (the “Member’s Interest”), to the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the right to receive any distribution or distributions to which the Member would otherwise have been entitled in respect of such Member’s Interest. Under the LLC Act, no creditor of the Member shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Depositor. Thus, under the LLC Act, a judgment creditor of the Member may not satisfy its claims against the Member by asserting a claim against the assets of the Depositor.

(xi) Under the LLC Act (i) the Depositor is a separate legal entity, and (ii) the existence of the Depositor as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the certificate of formation of the Depositor.

(xii) A federal court of competent jurisdiction would hold that Delaware law, and not federal law, would govern the determination of what persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Depositor.

(n) Sidley Austin llp, counsel to the Underwriters, shall have furnished to the Representative such opinion or opinions or negative assurance letters addressed to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date, with respect to certain securities law issues and other related matters as the Representative may reasonably request, and such counsel shall have received such papers and information as they may reasonably request to enable such opinions or negative assurance letters to be based upon such matters.

(o) Hudson Cook, LLP, in its capacity as special counsel to BMW Financial Services, BMW Bank and the Depositor, shall have delivered an opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that, (i) with respect to the security interest of BMW Financial Services or BMW Bank, as applicable, in the Financed Vehicles created by a Receivable that was originated in the State of California (each, a “California Receivable”), following BMW Financial Services’ or BMW Bank’s, as applicable, deposit of a properly endorsed certificate of ownership or an application in usual form for an original registration, as applicable, with respect to the related Financed Vehicle, together with payment of any applicable fees, no filing or other action is necessary to perfect or continue the perfected status of such security interest as against creditors of or transferees from the Obligor under such California Receivable and (ii) each blank, unexecuted form of contract relating to the California Receivables reviewed by such counsel complies, or complied when in use, with all applicable federal and California laws, rules and regulations. Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters.

(p) Bingham McCutchen LLP, in its capacity as counsel to the Depositor and the Trust, shall have delivered an opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that:

(i) Each Transfer Agreement creates an enforceable security interest in favor of the applicable Transferee under the applicable Transfer Agreement in the applicable Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the applicable Article 9 Collateral transferred or pledged, as applicable, by the applicable Transferor to the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement.

(ii) To the extent that the security interest of a Transferee in the applicable Article 9 Filing Collateral transferred or pledged, as applicable, by the applicable Transferor to the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement is (a) a security interest to secure payment or performance of an obligation or (b) an interest of a buyer of accounts or chattel paper, the filing of the applicable Financing Statement in the Filing Office will be effective to perfect such security interest of the Transferee in such Article 9 Filing Collateral. Such security interest in favor of the Transferee in such Article 9 Filing Collateral (other than investment property) will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Filing Collateral granted by the Transferor in favor of any other person.

(iii) To the extent that the security interest of the Transferee in the applicable Article 9 Collateral transferred by the applicable Transferor to the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable Transfer Agreement is an interest of a buyer of promissory notes or payment intangibles, the security interest of the Transferee in such Article 9 Collateral will be perfected upon the attachment of the security interest. Such security interest in favor of the Transferee will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Collateral granted by the Transferor in favor of any other person.

(iv) With respect to Article 9 Collateral credited to the Reserve Account that constitutes instruments, delivery of such Article 9 Collateral to and continued possession such Article 9 Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will be effective to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Article 9 Collateral. So long as continuous physical possession of the Article 9 Collateral is maintained by the Indenture Trustee, such security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Collateral granted by the Trust in favor of any other person.

(v) With respect to Article 9 Collateral credited to the Reserve Account that constitutes security entitlements, upon becoming the entitlement holder of such Article 9 Collateral, the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Article 9 Collateral will be perfected. So long as the Indenture Trustee remains the entitlement holder of such Article 9 Collateral, such security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Collateral granted by the Trust in favor of any other person.

(vi) With respect to Article 9 Collateral credited to the Reserve Account that constitutes certificated securities, delivery of such Article 9 Collateral to and continued possession of such Article 9 Collateral by the Indenture Trustee and indorsement of such Article 9 Collateral to the Indenture Trustee or in blank by an effective indorsement or registration of such Article 9 Collateral in the name of the Indenture Trustee will be effective to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Article 9 Collateral. So long as continuous physical possession of each such indorsed or registered Article 9 Collateral is maintained by Indenture Trustee, such security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Collateral granted by the Trust in favor of any other person.

(vii) With respect to Article 9 Collateral credited to the Reserve Account that constitutes uncertificated securities, registration by the issuer of the uncertificated securities on its books of the Indenture Trustee as the registered owner of such Article 9 Collateral will be effective to perfect the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Article 9 Collateral. So long as the Indenture Trustee remains the registered owner of such Article 9 Collateral, such security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee will be prior to any security interest in such Article 9 Collateral granted by the Trust in favor of any other person.

SECTION 10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or other indemnified person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Depositor or BMW Financial Services in Section 2 hereof,

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,

(iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or

(iv) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Permitted Underwriter Communication or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however that this subsection (iv) shall only apply to untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions and alleged omissions that result from or are based upon errors or omissions in the Issuer Information;

and will reimburse, as incurred, each such indemnified party for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Depositor and BMW Financial Services will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in

any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information; provided, further, that the Depositor and BMW Financial Services shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any of the directors, officers, employees and agents of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability that results from the fact that the Underwriter sold Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if delivery thereof was required, a copy of the Prospectus or of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Depositor has previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter. The indemnity provided for in this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Depositor and BMW Financial Services may otherwise have. The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Representative or other indemnified person is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of all of the Underwriters and such other indemnified person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Underwriter or other indemnified person.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor or BMW Financial Services within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor, BMW Financial Services or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) such Underwriter’s Underwriters’ Information or (y) any Derived Information of such Underwriter that does not result from or was not based upon an error or omission in (A) the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information (including any Corrected Time of Sale Information) or the Prospectus (unless such error or omission is in the Underwriters’ Information) or (B) the Computer Tape and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor, BMW Financial Services or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, preparing, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such

loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted or claim made involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10, such person (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnified party”) shall, promptly after receipt by such party of notice of the commencement of such action or claim, notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnifying party”), but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party (i) under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10 unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action or claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses or (ii) otherwise than under this Section 10. In case any such action or claim is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel to such indemnifying party if otherwise reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of any such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated in writing by the Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 10, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions), or (ii) the indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any

indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.

(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor and BMW Financial Services on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters (the “Spread”), in each case as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor or BMW Financial Services on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other hand, the parties’ relative intents, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Depositor, BMW Financial Services and the Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations on the fees and expenses of separate counsel set forth above in this Section 10, for purposes of this Section 10, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim or any action in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Underwriter shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the amount by which the Spread received by it in the initial offering of such Notes, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective principal amount of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services, each officer of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor and BMW Financial Services within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor and BMW Financial Services.

SECTION 11. Additional Representations and Warranties by each Underwriter.

(a) In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”), each Underwriter has not made and will not make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to Notes which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

(i) to any legal entity which is a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

(ii) to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provisions of the 2010 PD Amendment Directive, 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the lead Underwriter; or

(iii) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive;

provided, that no such offer of notes shall require the Trust or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

(b) For purposes of Section 11(a), (i) the expression an “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, (ii) the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive

2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amendment Directive to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and (iii) the expression “2010 PD Amendment Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

(c) Each Underwriter (i) to the extent that is carrying on business in the United Kingdom is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business and (ii) has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Notes other than to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the Notes would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) by the Trust.

(d) Each Underwriter has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) does not apply to the Trust.

(e) Each Underwriter has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

SECTION 12. Defaults by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter(s) hereunder, and such failure constitutes a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this paragraph, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the remaining Underwriter(s) shall determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter(s) of any liability to the Depositor, BMW Financial Services, their respective affiliates and any non-defaulting Underwriter(s) for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

SECTION 13. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements set forth in or made

pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6 and 10 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, each of the Depositor and BMW Financial Services shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 6 hereof. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Depositor and BMW Financial Services will reimburse the Underwriters severally, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Notes.

SECTION 14. Notices. In all dealings hereunder, the Representative shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representative.
