 THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of January 26, 2012 (as amended
from time to time, this “Agreement”) by VW CREDIT, INC., a Delaware corporation (“VCI”), and VOLKSWAGEN AUTO LEASE/LOAN UNDERWRITTEN FUNDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Purchaser”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase from VCI a portfolio of motor vehicle receivables, including motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and/or installment loans that are secured by new
and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and minivans; and 
 WHEREAS, VCI is willing to sell such portfolio of motor vehicle
receivables and related property to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 DEFINITIONS AND USAGE 
 SECTION 1.1 Definitions. Except as otherwise defined herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Appendix A to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2012-1, VCI,
as servicer, the Purchaser, as seller, and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee, which also contains rules as to usage that are applicable herein. 
 SECTION 1.2 Other Interpretive Provisions. For purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (a) accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement, and accounting
terms partly defined in this Agreement to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP (provided, that, to the extent that the definitions in this Agreement and GAAP conflict, the definitions in this
Agreement shall control); (b) terms defined in Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in that Article; (c) the words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (d) references to any Article, Section, Schedule, Appendix or Exhibit are
references to Articles, Sections, Schedules, Appendices and Exhibits in or to this Agreement and references to any paragraph, subsection, clause or other subdivision within any Section or definition refer to such paragraph, subsection, clause or

Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 








 ARTICLE II 
 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, VCI agrees to transfer, assign, set over, sell and otherwise convey to the Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) on the Closing Date all of VCI’s
right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the Collections after the Cut-Off Date, the Receivable Files and the Related Security relating thereto, described in an Assignment in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing
Date (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”) having a Net Pool Balance as of the Cut-Off Date equal to $1,351,498,765.89, which sale shall be effective as of the Cut-Off Date. The sale, transfer, assignment, contribution and
conveyance made hereunder does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Originator to the Obligors, the Dealers 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 transfer of the Purchased Assets conveyed to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 on the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to VCI on such date an amount equal to the estimated fair market value
of the Purchased Assets, which amount shall be paid (a) in cash to VCI and (b) by a capital contribution by VCI or an undivided interest in such Purchased Assets that increases its equity interest in the Purchaser in an amount equal to the
excess of the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets over the amount of cash paid by the Purchaser to VCI. 

ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
 SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of VCI. VCI 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 pursuant to this Agreement, the conveyance of the Purchased Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Grant thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: 
 (a) Existence and
Power. VCI 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 required to carry on its business as now conducted. VCI has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of VCI to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or 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 VCI of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of VCI and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable
law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any 

  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -2- 








 
material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations of 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 VCI’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 VCI 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 VCI to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
 (d) Binding Effect.
Each Transaction Document to which VCI is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of VCI enforceable against VCI 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 creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

 (e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of VCI, threatened against
VCI 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 VCI of its obligations under this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Documents, or (iv) relate to VCI 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. VCI is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against VCI. 

(g) State of Incorporation; Name; No Changes. The Seller’s state of incorporation is the State of Delaware. The Seller’s
exact legal name is Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC. Seller has not changed its name whether by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, and has not changed its state of incorporation, within
the four months preceding the Closing Date. 
 SECTION 3.2 Representations and Warranties of VCI as to each Receivable.
VCI hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I as to the Receivables, sold, contributed, transferred, assigned, set over 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 and Servicing Agreement, and the Grant of the Receivables by the


  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -3- 








 
Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, VCI shall not be required to notify
any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor or to notify any Dealer about any aspect of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 
 SECTION 3.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by or notice to the Purchaser or VCI of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 with respect to
any Receivable at the time such representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders in such Receivable, the party discovering such breach or receiving such notice shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided, that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt notice by VCI and the Purchaser of such breach; provided, further, that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of VCI hereunder. If the breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholder in such Receivable, then VCI shall either (a) correct or cure
such breach or (b) repurchase such Receivable from the Purchaser, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day (or, if VCI elects, an earlier date) after the date that VCI
became aware or was notified of such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Purchaser (or its assignee) to receive and retain timely
payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by VCI shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, VCI shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Purchaser equal to the Repurchase Price
by depositing such amount into the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such date of repurchase. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by VCI, 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 VCI to evidence such release, transfer or assignment or more effectively vest in VCI or its designee any Receivable and any related
Purchased Assets repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of VCI to repurchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser. 

SECTION 3.4 Protection of Title. 
 (a) VCI 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). VCI 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) VCI 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 VCI in accordance with paragraph (a) above “seriously misleading” within the meaning of Sections 9-506, 9-507 or 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have given the Purchaser
at least 

  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -4- 








 
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 shall have made arrangements to take such action substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not practicable to take such action in advance). 

(c) VCI shall give the Purchaser at least ten days’ prior written notice of any change of location of VCI 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. 

(d) VCI shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in
sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of such Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries
on (or with respect to) each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of such Receivable. 
 (e) VCI shall maintain (or shall cause its Sub-Servicer to maintain) its computer systems so that, from time to time after the conveyance under this Agreement of the Receivables, the 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. Indication of
such Person’s interest in a Receivable shall not be deleted from or modified on such computer systems until, and only until, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full or repurchased. 

(f) If at any time VCI 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, VCI 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, VCI 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 VCI 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 VCI.

 SECTION 3.6 Perfection Representations, Warranties and Covenants. VCI hereby makes the perfection representations,
warranties and covenants set forth on Schedule II hereto 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, transfers, assignments and contributions rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the
Receivables and related Purchased Assets shall not be part of VCI’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of VCI. The sales and transfers by VCI of the Receivables and related Purchased Assets hereunder are and shall be without
recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, VCI, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against VCI 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 VCI, 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 UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; 
 (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by VCI of, and VCI 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 VCI hereunder; 

(iii) The possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Receivable 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 UCC and the UCC 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 

  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -6- 








 
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 and Servicing Agreement, or at such
other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees 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 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 THE INTERNAL,
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE RULES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, 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 VCI and the Purchaser without the consent of
the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions: 
 (i) VCI or the Purchaser delivers 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; 

(ii) VCI or the Purchaser delivers an Officer’s Certificate of VCI or the Purchaser, respectively, to the Indenture
Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or 
 (iii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment and VCI or the Purchaser notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect
to such amendment; 
 provided, that no amendment pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be effective which affects the rights,
protections or duties of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person. 

  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -7- 








 (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by VCI and the Purchaser, with the
consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 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. 
 (c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, VCI 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, VCI (i) shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee and (ii) if this Agreement is amended in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 4.6(a), shall
furnish a copy of such Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, to each of the Rating Agencies. 

(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, 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, the Servicer, VCI, 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 VCI in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by either 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


  
 Purchase
Agreement (VALET 2012-1) 
 -8- 








 
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 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, VCI expressly acknowledges and consents to
the sale of the Purchased Assets and the assignment of all rights of the Purchaser related thereto and under this Agreement by the Purchaser to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the 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, VCI 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 in the event that the Purchaser shall fail to exercise the same. 

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 Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up
or other voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property or to consent to any such relief
or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors generally, any party
hereto or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such party shall not commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.14 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and
delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to 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;

 (b) 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; 

(c) 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 4.2;
