 WHEREAS, to secure payment of the Notes, the Issuer has pledged the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
the Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Issuer Documents, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee are required to perform certain duties; 

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee desire to have the Administrator perform certain of the duties of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee
(in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement), and to provide such additional services consistent with this Agreement and the Issuer Documents as the Issuer and the Owner Trustee may from time to time request; 

WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services required hereby and is willing to perform such services for the Issuer and
the Owner Trustee on the terms set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

perform all of its duties as Administrator under this Agreement and the Issuer Documents and the duties and obligations of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement) under the Issuer Documents;
provided, however, except as otherwise provided in the Issuer Documents, that the Administrator shall have no obligation to make any payment required to be made by the Issuer under any Issuer Document; provided, further,

Owner Trustee pursuant to or related to Regulation AB. In addition, the Administrator shall consult with the Issuer and the Owner Trustee regarding its duties and obligations under the Issuer
Documents. The Administrator shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Issuer and the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply with the Issuer’s and the Owner Trustee’s duties and
obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall perform such calculations, and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate Persons of all such documents, reports, filings,
instruments, notices, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all appropriate action that is the duty
of the Issuer to take pursuant to the Issuer Documents, and shall prepare, execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, notices, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to
prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents or otherwise by law. 
 (b) Notices to Rating Agencies. The

(d) Non-Ministerial Matters; Exceptions to Administrator Duties. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a reasonable time before the taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Issuer of the proposed action and the Issuer shall not have
withheld consent or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation:

its behalf. 
 2. Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed
hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection upon reasonable written request by the Issuer, the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee at any time during normal business hours. 

3. Compensation; Payment of Fees and Expenses.

under the Transaction Documents. The Administrator shall: 
 (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee and any separate trustee or
co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture (a “Separate Trustee”) from time to time such compensation as the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing for services rendered under the Indenture (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, reimburse the Indenture Trustee and any Separate Trustee for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties under the Indenture, including the obtaining of any modified report described under Section 11.23(b)(iii) of the

(v) pay to the Owner Trustee from time to time compensation for all services rendered by the Owner Trustee under the Trust

(vi) reimburse the Owner Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Owner Trustee in accordance with any provision of the Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in connection with the exercise and performance
of its rights and its duties under the Trust Agreement), except any such expense that may be attributable to the Owner Trustee’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith; and 

(vii) indemnify the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity and as trustee and its successors, assigns, directors, officers,
employees and agents in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Trust Agreement; 
 provided that, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, clauses (i) through (vii) above shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

4. Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and
shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for
or to represent the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer. 
 5.
No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the Administrator and the Issuer as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity,
(ii) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other. 

6. Other Activities of the Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other
businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other Person even though such Person may engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

 7. Representations and Warranties of the Administrator. The Administrator represents and
warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows: 
 (a) Existence and Power. The Administrator is a
corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Administrator has obtained all necessary licenses
and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Administrator of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Administrator and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation,
(B) its organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations 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 the Administrator’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 the Administrator 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 materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 

(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable against the Administrator 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 corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity. 

8. Administrator Replacement Events; Termination of the Administrator. 

(a) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Administrator may resign its duties hereunder by
providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. 
 (b) Subject to clauses
(d) and (e) below, the Issuer may remove the Administrator without cause by providing the Administrator with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice. 

 
 VALT 2014-A Administration Agreement 

  
 5 








 (c) The occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an
“Administrator Replacement Event”) shall also entitle the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, to terminate and replace the Administrator: 

(i) any failure by the Administrator to deliver or cause to be delivered any required payment to the Indenture Trustee for
distribution to the Noteholders, which failure continues unremedied for ten Business Days after discovery thereof by the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at
least a majority of the Outstanding Note Amount, voting together as a single class; 
 (ii) any failure by the Administrator
to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days
after discovery thereof by the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Amount, voting together as a single class; 

(iii) any representation or warranty of the Administrator made in any Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a
party or by which it is bound or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and
which failure continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note
Amount, voting together as a single class (it being understood that any repurchase of a Transaction Unit by VCI pursuant to Section 2.3 of the SUBI Sale Agreement shall be deemed to remedy any incorrect representation or warranty with
respect to such Transaction Unit); or 
 (iv) the Administrator suffers a Bankruptcy Event; 

provided, however, that a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) above for a period of 120 days will not constitute an Administrator Replacement Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence. 

(d) If an Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject to Section 19 hereof, by
notice given to the Administrator and the Owner Trustee, terminate all or a portion of the rights and powers of the Administrator under this Agreement, including the rights of the Administrator to receive the annual fee for services hereunder for
all periods following such termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, shall have appointed a successor Administrator in the
manner set forth below. Upon any such termination, all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of the 
  

VALT 2014-A Administration Agreement 

  
 6 








 
Administrator under this Agreement shall vest in and be assumed by any successor Administrator appointed by the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, pursuant to a management
agreement between the Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing substantially the same provisions as this Agreement (including with respect to the compensation of such successor Administrator), and the successor Administrator is hereby
irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
such vesting and assumption. Further, in such event, the Administrator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the administration of the Issuer to the new Administrator. 

(e) The Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, may waive in writing any Administrator Replacement Event by the
Administrator in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past Administrator Replacement Event, such Administrator Replacement Event shall cease to exist, and any Administrator Replacement Event
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Administrator Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereon. 

9. Action upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8, or the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 8, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination or removal. 

10. Liens. The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, allow or suffer to exist any Lien on the Collateral other than
Permitted Liens. 
 11. Notices. 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 telecopier, and addressed in each case as set forth in Schedule II to the Indenture or at such other address as
shall be designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such
recipient for notices hereunder. 
 12. Amendments. 

(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator without the consent of the Indenture Trustee,
any Noteholder, the Issuer or any other Person subject to satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (i) the Administrator or the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the
effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to clause
(b) below, any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the 
  

VALT 2014-A Administration Agreement 

  
 7 








 
Administrator with the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Amount, voting as a single Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Persons whose interests are materially and adversely affected. The consent of the
Certificateholders or the Issuer shall be deemed to have been given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection from such Person within 10 Business Days after a written request for such consent shall have been given. 

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such Person to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof. 
 (c) Prior to
the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Administrator shall provide each Rating Agency with written notice of the substance of such amendment. No later than 10 Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. 

(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer, 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. 
 13. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF

THE NONEXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY
THEREOF; 
 (ii) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; 

(iii) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PERSON AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11 OF THIS AGREEMENT; 

(iv) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY

EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER. 
 14. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be
construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. 
 15. 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. 

16. 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

or under the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant thereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. Under no circumstances shall
the Owner Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expense of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligations, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under the
Transaction Documents. For the purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII
