PURCHASE
SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Sell and Contribute on the Closing Date. On the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, BANA does
hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Purchaser
without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of
its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property and
identified in an Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on

(i) the Receivables listed on the Schedule of Receivables and all
monies received thereon, on and after the Cut-Off Date;

(iii) the Receivable Files;
(iv) all of BANA's rights in the Originator Purchase Agreement
and the Servicing Agreement; and
(v) any proceeds of the property described above.
The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder does not constitute
and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any
obligation of BANA or any Originator to the Obligors or any other Person in
connection with the Receivables or the other assets and properties conveyed
hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto.
SECTION 2.2 Consideration and Payment. In consideration of the sale of the

pay to BANA on such date an amount equal to the estimated fair market value of
the Purchased Assets on the Closing Date.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of BANA. BANA makes the
following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the
Purchaser will be deemed to have relied in acquiring the Purchased Assets. The
representations and warranties will survive the conveyance of the Purchased
Assets to the Purchaser, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer
pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture:
(a) Existence and Power. BANA is a national banking association validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and has, in
all material respects, full power and authority to own its assets and operate
its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it
-2-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
is a party or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or
any other part of the Purchased Assets. BANA has obtained all necessary licenses
and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially
and adversely affect the ability of BANA to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the
Receivables or any other part of the Purchased Assets.
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by BANA of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of BANA and do not
contravene or constitute a default under (i) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (ii) its organizational documents or (iii) any material indenture or
material agreement or instrument to which BANA is a party or by which its
properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations,
indentures or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the
aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or BANA's ability to perform its obligations under, the
Transaction Documents).
(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with,
any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by BANA of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC
filings, (ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained
and filings that have previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations
or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse
effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other
part of the Purchased Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the
ability of BANA to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which BANA is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of BANA enforceable against
BANA in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of limited
liability companies from time to time in effect or by general principles of
equity.
(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of BANA, threatened against BANA before or by any
Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent
the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii)
seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the
performance by BANA of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or
(iv) relating to BANA that would materially and adversely affect the federal or
Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the
Notes.
(f) Lien Filings. BANA is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax
lien filings against BANA.
-3-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of BANA as to each Receivable.
On the date hereof, with respect to the Transferred Receivables BANA hereby
makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I to the Sale
Agreement to the Purchaser as to the Receivables sold, transferred, assigned and
otherwise conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement on which such
representations and warranties the Purchaser relies in acquiring the
Receivables. Such representations and warranties shall survive the sale of the
Receivables to the Issuer under the Sale Agreement, and the Grant of the
Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, BANA shall not be required to notify any insurer with
respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor.
SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the
Purchaser or BANA of a breach of any of the representations and warranties
described in Section 3.2 which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach or receiving
such notice shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party hereto
and to the Originator; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect any obligation of BANA hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, then
BANA shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase such
Receivable from the holder thereof, in either case on or before the Payment Date
following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day after the
date BANA and the Originator became aware or was notified of such breach. Any
such purchase by BANA shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In
consideration for such repurchase, BANA shall make (or shall cause to be made) a
payment to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price by depositing (or causing
to be deposited) such amount into the Collection Account prior to 4:00 p.m., New
York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by BANA, the Purchaser shall release and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse or representation, as may be reasonably requested by BANA
to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in
BANA or its designee any Receivable and related Purchased Assets repurchased
pursuant to this Section 3.3. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
BANA to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser.
SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title.
(a) BANA shall authorize and file such financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such continuation and other statements, all in such manner
and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve, maintain and
protect the interest of the Purchaser under this Agreement in the Receivables
(other than any Related Security with respect thereto, to the extent that the
interest of the Purchaser therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a
financing statement). BANA shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such filing.
(b) BANA shall not change its name, identity, corporate structure or
jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any financing
statement or continuation statement filed by BANA in accordance with paragraph
(a) above "seriously misleading" within the
-4-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given
the Purchaser at least five days' prior written notice thereof and, to the
extent necessary, shall have promptly filed amendments to previously filed
financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above
or filed new financing statements, as applicable.
(c) BANA shall give the Purchaser at least five days' prior written notice
of any change of location of BANA for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and
shall have taken all action prior to making such change (or shall have made
arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change,
if it is not possible to take such action in advance) reasonably necessary or
advisable in the opinion of the Purchaser to amend all previously filed
financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above
or to file new financing statements, as applicable.
(d) BANA shall maintain its computer systems so that, from time to time
after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, any master
computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable
shall indicate clearly the interest of the Purchaser (or any subsequent assignee
of the Purchaser) in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by such
Person.
(e) If at any time BANA shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in
or otherwise transfer any interest in motor vehicle receivables to any
prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, BANA shall give to such
prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or
printouts (including any restored from backup archives) that, if they shall
refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that
such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Purchaser (or any subsequent
assignee of the Purchaser).
SECTION 3.5 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants
of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, BANA shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or
other property transferred to the Purchaser to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens)
on any interest therein, and BANA shall defend the right, title and interest of
the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivables or other property transferred to
the Purchaser against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
BANA.
SECTION 3.6 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. BANA
hereby makes the perfection representations, warranties and covenants attached
hereto as Schedule I to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have
relied on such representations, warranties and covenants in acquiring the
Purchased Assets.
ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and
absolute sales and transfers rather than pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for
-5-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the
Receivables and related Purchased Assets shall not be treated as property of
BANA by the FDIC or other governmental authority acting as conservator or
receiver of BANA in a conservatorship, receivership, insolvency or other similar
proceeding in respect of BANA under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.
Section 1811 et seq or other applicable law. The sales and transfers by BANA of
the Receivables and related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, BANA, except
as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse
specified herein against BANA are intended to provide a remedy for breach of
representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold,
rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and
other Purchased Assets are held to be property of BANA, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest
in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets, then it is intended that:
(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and
the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction;
(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be
a grant by BANA of, and BANA hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security
interest in all of its right (including the power to convey title thereto),
title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
Receivables and other Purchased Assets, to secure such indebtedness and the
performance of the obligations of BANA hereunder;
(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivables
Files and any other property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
party" or possession by the purchaser or a person designated by such
purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the
New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any
other applicable jurisdiction; and
(iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law.
SECTION 4.2 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier
service, or by facsimile, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule II
to the Sale Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated in a
written notice to the other parties hereto. Any notice required or permitted to
be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register. Delivery shall
occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer
of the recipient entitled to receive such notices
-6-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder; provided,
however, that any notice to a Noteholder mailed within the time prescribed in
this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Noteholder shall receive such notice.
SECTION 4.3 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION
5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT EXCLUDING TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ALL OTHER CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
SECTION 4.4 Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for
convenience only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction
or effect of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 4.6 Amendment.
(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by BANA and the
Purchaser with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided
that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the
Depositor delivered to the Indenture Trustee materially and adversely affect the
interests of any Noteholder; provided, further, that any amendment entered into
pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) shall not significantly change the permitted
activities of the Issuer.
(b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by BANA and the
Purchaser with prior notice to each Rating Agency but without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other
Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be necessary or
advisable in order to enable the Seller, the Depositor or any of their
Affiliates to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any law or
regulation or any accounting rule or principle; provided that such amendment
shall not, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Depositor delivered
to the Indenture Trustee materially and adversely affect the interests of any
Noteholder; provided, further, that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to
Standard & Poor's shall have been satisfied; provided, further, that any
amendment entered into pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) shall not significantly
change the permitted activities of the Issuer.
(c) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by BANA and the
Purchaser, with prior notice to each Rating Agency and with the consent of the
Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be
-7-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any
other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including
the establishment of record dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.
(d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, BANA shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency;
and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, BANA shall
furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the
Indenture Trustee.
(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Purchaser, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and
that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment
have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the
Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's, as applicable, own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser,
BANA, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right
hereunder (to the extent such Person has any power or right hereunder) shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser or
BANA in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. No waiver or approval by any party under this Agreement shall,
except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to
subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall
require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted
hereunder.
SECTION 4.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all
prior oral or written understandings. There are no unwritten agreements among
the parties.
SECTION 4.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.10 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing
obligations of the parties hereto in
-8-
Purchase Agreement (2005-WF1)
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such
time as the parties hereto shall agree.
SECTION 4.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, BANA
expressly acknowledges and consents to the sale of the Purchased Assets and the
assignment of all rights and obligations of BANA related thereto by the
Purchaser to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the pledge,
assignment and grant of a security interest in the Receivables and the other
Purchased Assets by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition, BANA hereby
acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the
Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and
claims of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
SECTION 4.12 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 4.13 Nonpetition Covenant. Each party hereto agrees that, prior to
the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations
of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by any
Bankruptcy Remote Party (i) such party hereto shall not authorize any Bankruptcy

organizational documents of such Bankruptcy Remote Party. This Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

irrevocably and unconditionally:
