Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

SECTION 1. Introductory. BMW Auto Leasing LLC (the “Depositor”) proposes to cause BMW Vehicle Lease Trust 2019-1 (the “Trust”) to issue and sell $342,500,000 principal amount of its 2.79% Class A-2 Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), $342,500,000 principal amount of its 2.84% Class A-3 Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), and $115,000,000 principal amount of its 2.92% Class A-4 Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and, together with the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Offered Notes”) to the several underwriters set forth on Schedule I (each, an “Underwriter”), for whom Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is acting as representative (the “Representative”) pursuant to the terms of this underwriting agreement dated March 12, 2019 by and among the Depositor, BMW Financial Services NA, LLC (“BMW Financial Services”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., on behalf of itself and as Representative for the several Underwriters (this “Agreement”). The Trust will also issue $200,000,000 principal amount of its 0.00000% Class A-1 Notes (the “Retained Notes” and together with the Offered Notes, the “Notes”), which will be retained by the Depositor or an affiliate thereof. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (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, lease payments generated by a portfolio of retail lease contracts and the proceeds from the sale of the motor vehicles leased under those contracts, and certain monies received thereunder after the close of business on January 31, 2019 (the “Cutoff Date”).

The Depositor was formed pursuant to an amended and restated limited liability company agreement, dated and effective as of February 1, 2016 (the “Depositor LLC Agreement”), among BMW Financial Services, as the primary member, and BMW FS Receivables Corp., a Delaware corporation, as the second member. BMW Financial Services NA, Inc., the predecessor of BMW Financial Services, was incorporated on April 23, 1984 in the state of Delaware and was converted into a Delaware limited liability company on May 1, 2000 pursuant to a limited

liability company agreement (the “BMW FS LLC Agreement”), entered into by BMW of North America, Inc., as sole member.

Simultaneously with the issuance of the Notes, the Depositor will cause the Trust to issue Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificates” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”). The Certificates will be issued pursuant to an amended and restated trust agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). Each Note will represent an obligation of, and each Certificate will represent an undivided interest in, the Trust. The Depositor will initially retain the Certificates. The Certificates will be subordinated to the Notes, to the extent described in the Trust Agreement and the Indenture. Under an administration agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Trust Administration Agreement”), among BMW Financial Services, as administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), the Trust, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator will perform the Trust’s administrative obligations under the Trust Agreement and the Indenture.

Financial Services Vehicle Trust (the “Vehicle Trust”) was created to take assignments and conveyances of, and to hold in trust, various leases, vehicles and certain related assets (collectively, the “Trust Assets”). The Vehicle Trust was created and is governed by an amended and restated trust agreement, dated as of September 27, 1996, as amended as of May 25, 2000 and December 1, 2006 (the “Vehicle Trust Agreement”), between BMW Manufacturing L.P. (the “UTI Beneficiary” or “BMW LP”), an Indiana limited partnership, as grantor and initial beneficiary, and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly known as The Bank of New York (Delaware)), a Delaware banking corporation, as trustee (the “Vehicle Trustee”).

The UTI Beneficiary was formed under the laws of Indiana pursuant to a limited partnership agreement, dated February 12, 1996 (the “Partnership Agreement”), between BMW Facility Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (predecessor in interest to BMW Facility Partners, LLC (“BMW Facility Partners”), a Delaware limited liability company), as the sole general partner (the “BMW LP General Partner”), and BMW Financial Services, as the sole limited partner. BMW Facility Partners was formed pursuant to a limited liability company agreement, dated as of December 22, 1999, entered into by BMW Financial Services as sole member.

Pursuant to a supplement to the Vehicle Trust Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “SUBI Supplement”, and together with the Vehicle Trust Agreement, the “SUBI Trust Agreement”), among the parties to the Vehicle Trust Agreement, the Vehicle Trustee will be directed by the UTI Beneficiary to establish a special unit of beneficial interest to be known as the “2019-1 SUBI.” The Vehicle Trustee will allocate a portfolio consisting of the lease agreements (the “2019-1 Leases”) and the related specified vehicles (the “2019-1 Vehicles”) and certain other related assets to the 2019-1 SUBI (collectively, the “SUBI Assets”). The Trust Assets (including the SUBI Assets) will be serviced by BMW Financial Services (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) pursuant to a servicing agreement, dated as of August 30, 1995 (the “Basic Servicing Agreement”), as supplemented by a 2019-1 SUBI servicing supplement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “SUBI Servicing Supplement” and, together with the Basic Servicing Agreement, the “Servicing Agreement”), in each case among the Vehicle Trust, the UTI Beneficiary and Servicer.

In connection with the creation of the 2019-1 SUBI, the Vehicle Trust will issue to the UTI Beneficiary a certificate (the “SUBI Certificate”) representing the entire beneficial interest in the 2019-1 SUBI. Pursuant to a SUBI certificate transfer agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement”), between the Depositor and the UTI Beneficiary, the UTI Beneficiary will sell the SUBI Certificate to the Depositor. Pursuant to a SUBI certificate transfer agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Trust SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement”), between the Depositor and the Trust, the Depositor will sell the SUBI Certificate to the Trust.

The Trust will provide for the review of the 2019-1 Leases for compliance with certain representations and warranties made with respect thereto in certain circumstances under an asset representations review agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”), among the Trust, BMW Financial Services, as Servicer, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Fixed Income Services LLC, as asset representations reviewer (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”).

This Agreement, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the SUBI Trust Agreement, the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the Trust Administration Agreement, the Trust SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Depository Agreement, a backup security agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Backup Security Agreement”), among BMW Financial Services, the Vehicle Trust, the UTI Beneficiary, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, and a control agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Control Agreement”), between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, as secured party and securities intermediary, are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents”. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the SUBI Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as the case may be.

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 Offered 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.

The Registration Statement, as of the applicable effective date as to each part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) and any amendment thereto, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or

necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Time of Sale Information, in each case as of its date and as of the Time of Sale, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit 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.

(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 Offered Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Offered Notes. Only execution and delivery, by facsimile or otherwise, of a receipt for Offered Notes by the Representative indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Offered 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 Offered Notes, the Depositor hereby acknowledges that until the Representative executes and delivers such receipt for the Offered 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 Offered 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 Citigroup Global Markets Inc., individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Offered 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 Offered 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.

The Depositor and BMW Financial Services will advise the Representative promptly of the effectiveness of any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information 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 Offered Notes as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus.

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 Offered 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.

(j) To the extent, if any, that any of the ratings assigned to the Offered Notes by any of the rating agencies that initially rate the Offered 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.

(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 from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and/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, 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

(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,

(v) the breach of any representation or warranty made by BMW Financial Services in a 17g-5 Certification, or

(vi) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Form ABS-15G, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Form ABS-15G a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

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 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 Offered 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 from and against any losses, claims, damages and/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), 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 Offered 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 Offered 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. 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 an amount equal to the excess of the Spread received by it in the initial offering of such Offered Notes over 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 the Offered 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) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and agrees that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Offered Notes, which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Prospectus, to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”).

(b) For purposes of Section 11(a), (i) the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (A) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (B) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (C) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive; (ii) the expression “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Offered Notes; and (iii) the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each member state of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive.

(c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly represents that (i) to the extent that it is carrying on business in the United Kingdom, it 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) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Offered 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 Offered 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 severally and not jointly represents that it (i) 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 Offered Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Trust or the Depositor and (ii) has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Offered Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

(e) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly represents that it has not obtained any Due Diligence Report from any third party due diligence service provider in connection with the offering of the Offered Notes except for the Accountant’s Due Diligence Report.

SECTION 12. Defaults by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the Offered 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 Offered Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Offered Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Offered Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Offered Notes, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) do not purchase all the Offered 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 Offered Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6, 10, 15, 18 and 21 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 Offered 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 Offered 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 Offered 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. Any notice or notification in any form to be given under this Agreement may be delivered in person or sent by facsimile or telephone (subject in the case of a communication by telephone to confirmation by facsimile) addressed to:

The Depositor and BMW Financial Services acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Depositor and BMW Financial Services with respect to the offering of the Offered Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Depositor, BMW Financial Services or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Depositor, BMW Financial Services or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
