2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement




 









 








ARTICLE II




CONVEYANCE OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS




     SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Transferred Assets. In consideration of the Issuer’s sale
and delivery to, or upon the order of, the Seller of all of the Notes and the Certificate on the
Closing Date, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the
Issuer without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all right, title and interest of the
Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Transferred Assets, described in an
Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit A delivered on the Closing Date. The sale,
transfer, assignment and conveyance made hereunder will not constitute and is not intended to
result in an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the Seller or the applicable 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 Representations and Warranties of the Seller as to each Receivable. The
Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Schedule I as to the
Receivables sold, transferred, assigned, and otherwise conveyed to the Issuer under this Agreement
on which such representations and warranties the Issuer relies in acquiring the Receivables. The
representations and warranties as to each Receivable shall survive 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, the Seller 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 2.3 Repurchase upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 at the time such
representations and warranties were made which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the other parties hereto; provided that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be
deemed to constitute prompt notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach; provided,
further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Seller
hereunder. If the Seller does not correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection
Period which includes the 60th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier date) after the date that
the Seller became aware or was notified of such breach, then the Seller shall purchase any
Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date
following the end of such Collection Period. Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have
a material and adverse effect if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer
to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller
shall be at a price equal to the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the
Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer 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 Payment Date. Upon payment of such Repurchase Price by the Seller, the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably requested

	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





of it to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is
understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the obligations
of VCI under the Purchase Agreement to purchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. Neither
the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative
investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable
pursuant to this Section 2.3.




     SECTION 2.4 Custody of Receivable Files.



     (a) Custody. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce
administrative costs, the Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby
revocably appoint the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the
agent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or
instruments, which are hereby or will hereby be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee
(or its agent or designee), as pledgee of the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture with respect to each
Receivable (but only to the extent applicable to such Receivable and only to the extent held in
tangible paper form) (the “Receivable Files”):




	 	(i)	 	the fully executed original of the retail motor vehicle
installment sales contract or promissory note and security agreement related to
such Receivable, including any written amendments or extensions thereto;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the original credit application or a photocopy thereof to the
extent held in paper form;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the original Certificate of Title or, if not yet received,
evidence that an application therefore has been submitted with the appropriate
authority, a guaranty of title from a Dealer or such other document that the
Servicer keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices,
evidencing the security interest of the applicable Originator in the Financed
Vehicle; provided, however, that in lieu of being held in the Receivable File,
the Certificate of Title may be held by a third party service provider engaged
by the Servicer to obtain or hold Certificates of Title; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any and all other documents that the Servicer or the Seller
keeps on file, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, relating
to a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.




The foregoing appointment of the Servicer is deemed to be made with due care.




     (b) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the
Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. In performing its duties
as custodian, the Servicer shall act in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. In
accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer will conduct, or cause to be
conducted, periodic reviews of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the
related accounts, records, and computer systems, in such a manner as would enable the Issuer or





					
	 
	 	3
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





the Indenture Trustee to verify the accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping (it being
understood that the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to verify such records). The Servicer
will promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold a
material portion of the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records, and computer systems
as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein
will be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee of the Receivable Files. The Servicer may, in accordance with its Customary Servicing
Practices: (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii)
maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or
designees.




     (c) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer will maintain each Receivable
File in the United States (it being understood that the Receivable Files, or any part thereof, may
be maintained at the offices of any Person to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in
accordance with Section 6.5). The Servicer will make available to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of
locations of the Receivable Files upon request. The Servicer will provide access to the Receivable
Files, and the related accounts records, and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such
times as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee direct, but only upon reasonable notice and during the
normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer.



     (d) Release of Documents. Upon written instructions from the Indenture Trustee, the
Servicer will release or cause to be released any document in the Receivable Files to the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at
such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon thereafter as is practicable.
Any document so released will be handled by the Indenture Trustee with due care and returned to the
Servicer for safekeeping as soon as the Indenture Trustee or its agent or designee, as the case may
be, has no further need therefor.



     (e) Instructions; Authority to Act. All instructions from the Indenture Trustee will
be in writing and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Indenture Trustee, and the Servicer will
be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its
receipt of such written instructions.



     (f) Custodian’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 6.2, the Servicer as
custodian will indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs, or expenses of any kind whatsoever that
may be imposed on, incurred, or asserted against the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as the result
of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer
as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable (i)
to the Issuer for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith
or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer or (ii) to the Indenture Trustee for any
portion of any such amount resulting from the failure of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee to handle with due care any Certificate of
Title or other document released to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s agent or
designee pursuant to Section 2.4(d).

	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 






     (g) Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian will
become effective as of the Cut-Off Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated
pursuant to this Section. If VCI resigns as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer have been terminated under
Section 7.1, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian hereunder may be terminated by
the Indenture Trustee, or by the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Notes, in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders may terminate
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 7.1. As soon as practicable after
any termination of such appointment, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee’s agent the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by
the Servicer at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.



ARTICLE III




ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF

RECEIVABLES AND TRUST PROPERTY




     SECTION 3.1 Duties of Servicer.



     (a) The Servicer is hereby appointed by the Issuer and authorized to act as agent for the
Issuer and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the
Receivables in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, using the degree of skill and
attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that
it services for itself or others. The Servicer’s duties will include collection and posting of all
payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies,
sending invoices or payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to
Obligors, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture
Trustee with respect to distributions. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and
authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set
forth herein.



     (b) The Servicer will follow its Customary Servicing Practices and will have full power and
authority to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and
collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholder, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such
Receivables or to the Financed Vehicles securing such Receivables. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding (including
a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle.
If the Servicer commences a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer will thereupon be
deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of
commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is
authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices,
demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other





					
	 
	 	5
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit
or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it
is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Issuer will, at
the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit
in its name or the name of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer will furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer, at its expense, will
obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be
held by the Issuer in connection with ownership of the Receivables, and will make all filings and
pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term hereof.




     (c) The Servicer hereby agrees that upon its resignation and the appointment of a successor
Servicer hereunder, the Servicer will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in accordance
with Section 7.1, and, in any case, in a manner which the Indenture Trustee reasonably
determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to such successor
Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such successor Servicer.



     SECTION 3.2 Collection of Receivable Payments. The Servicer will make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and
when the same become due in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Subject to
Section 3.5, the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments,
modifications or adjustments with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Customary
Servicing Practices; provided, however, that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment
by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class
A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date or (ii) reduces the Contract Rate or Outstanding Principal Balance
with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law, it will promptly purchase
such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 3.6. The Servicer may in its discretion
waive any late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of
servicing a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer
may refinance any Receivable by accepting a new promissory note from the related Obligor and
depositing the full Outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account.
The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer.



     SECTION 3.3 Realization Upon Receivables. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer will
use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, to
repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable as to
which the Servicer had determined eventual payment in full is unlikely unless it determines in its
sole discretion that repossession will not increase the Liquidation Proceeds by an amount greater
than the expense of such repossession or that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to
such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Servicer will follow such Customary
Servicing Practices as it deems necessary or advisable, which may include reasonable efforts to
realize upon any recourse to any Dealer and selling the Financed Vehicle at public or private sale.
The foregoing will be subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle has
suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend funds in connection with the repair
or the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it determines in





					
	 
	 	6
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





its sole discretion that such repair and/or repossession will increase the Liquidation
Proceeds by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.




     SECTION 3.4 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles. The Servicer
will, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, take such steps as are necessary to
maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed
Vehicle. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to
re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of
the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason.



     SECTION 3.5 Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle
securing each such Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in
part except in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in
full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its
Customary Servicing Practices or in connection with repossession or except as may be required by an
insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle.



     SECTION 3.6 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach. Upon discovery by any party hereto
of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 or
3.5 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties
hereto; provided that delivery of the Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt
notice by the Servicer and the Issuer of such breach; provided, further, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer hereunder. If the Servicer does not
correct or cure such breach prior to the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60th day
(or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was
notified of such breach, then the Servicer shall purchase any Receivable materially and adversely
affected by such breach from the Issuer on the Payment Date following the end of such Collection
Period. Any such breach or failure will not be deemed to have a material and adverse effect if
such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain timely
payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to
the Repurchase Price. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall
cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer 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 Payment Date. Upon
payment of such Repurchase Price by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall
release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Servicer
or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.



     SECTION 3.7 Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Servicer
the Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 4.4 for the immediately preceding Collection
Period as compensation for its services. In addition, the Servicer will be entitled to retain all
Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer also will be entitled to receive investment

	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





earnings (net of investment losses and expenses) on funds deposited in the Collection Account
and the Principal Distribution Account during each Collection Period.




     SECTION 3.8 Servicer’s Certificate. On or before the Determination Date preceding
each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent, and
the Indenture Trustee shall forward such copy to each of the Rating Agencies, a Servicer’s
Certificate containing all information necessary to make the payments, transfers and distributions
pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4 on such Payment Date, together with the written
statements to be furnished by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders pursuant to Section
4.6 hereof and Section 6.6 of the Indenture. At the sole option of the Servicer, each
Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format.



     SECTION 3.9 Annual Officer’s Certificate; Notice of Servicer Replacement Event. (a)
The Servicer will deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on or before
April 30 of each calendar year, beginning with April 30, 2006, an Officer’s Certificate, dated as
of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year (or since the Closing Date, in the case of the first
such Officer’s Certificate) and of its performance under this Agreement was made under the
supervision of the officer signing such certificate and (ii) to the best of such officer’s
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has performed in all material respects its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or since the Closing Date, in the case of
the first such Officer’s Certificate), or, if there has been a material default in the performance
of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and
status thereof.



     (a) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency
promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any
event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer
Replacement Event.



     SECTION 3.10 Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Report. The Servicer shall cause
a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other services to the
Servicer or to its Affiliates, to deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating
Agencies on or before April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 2006, a report addressed to the
board of directors of the Servicer, with respect to the preceding 12-month period ended December 31
(or other applicable period in the case of the first such report or letter) to the effect that
certain procedures performed by such firm (a) included tests relating to Units serviced for others
in accordance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (“USAP”), to
the extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in
this Agreement, and (b) except as described in the report, disclosed no exceptions or errors in the
records relating to the motor vehicle receivables for others that, in the firm’s opinion, paragraph
four of such Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers requires such firm to report.
The certification required by this paragraph may be replaced by any similar certification using
standards other than USAP which are now or in the future in use by servicers of comparable assets
or which otherwise comply with any rule, regulation, “no action” letter or similar guidance
promulgated by the Commission.

Trustee, the Owner Trustee (as more fully described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the
Trust Agreement), independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in
connection with distributions and reports to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder.



     SECTION 3.12 1934 Act Filings. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer and the

information respecting the Issuer and/or the Notes required to be filed pursuant to the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder.



ARTICLE IV




DISTRIBUTIONS; ACCOUNTS;

STATEMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATEHOLDER

AND THE NOTEHOLDERS




     SECTION 4.1 Establishment of Accounts. (a) The Servicer shall cause to be
established:




	 	(i)	 	For the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for
the benefit of the Noteholders, which Eligible Account shall be established by
and maintained with the Indenture Trustee or its designee.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Account (the “Principal Distribution Account”),
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are
held for the benefit of the Noteholders, which Eligible Account shall be
established by and maintained with the Indenture Trustee or its designee.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	For the benefit of the Noteholders, in the name of the
Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for
the benefit of the Noteholders, which Eligible Account shall be established by
and maintained with the Indenture Trustee or its designee.





     (b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Principal
Distribution Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested by the Indenture
Trustee in Permitted Investments selected in writing by the Servicer and of which the Servicer
provides notification (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise); provided that it is
understood and agreed that neither the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall be
liable for any loss arising from such investment in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted
Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee as secured party for the benefit
of the Noteholders; provided that on each Payment Date all interest and other investment income





					
	 
	 	9
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





(net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the
Principal Distribution Account shall be distributed to the Servicer and shall not be available to
pay the distributions provided for in Section 4.4. All investments of funds on deposit in
the Trust Accounts shall mature so that such funds will be available on the next Payment Date. No
Permitted Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to its scheduled maturity unless
a default occurs with respect to such Permitted Investment and the Servicer directs the Indenture
Trustee in writing to dispose of such Permitted Investment.




     (c) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit
from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof and all such funds, investments
and proceeds shall be part of the Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust
Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Noteholders. If, at any time, any Trust Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer
shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing (unless such Trust Account is an account
with the Indenture Trustee) and within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as to which each
Rating Agency may consent) after becoming aware of the fact, establish a new Trust Account as an
Eligible Account and shall direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer any cash and/or any investments
to such new Trust Account.



     (d) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the parties hereto agree that:




	 	(i)	 	any Trust Account Property that consists of uninvested funds
shall be held solely in Eligible Accounts and, except as otherwise provided
herein, each such Eligible Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody
and control of the Indenture Trustee, and, except as otherwise provided in the
Transaction Documents, the Indenture Trustee or its designee shall have sole
signature authority with respect thereto;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property
shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee, in accordance with
paragraph (a) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending
maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or any such designee;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated
security” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (iv)
below shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its designee in accordance
with paragraph (c) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by
the Indenture Trustee or such designee, pending maturity or disposition,
through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its designee’s)
ownership of such security on the books of the issuer thereof; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any Trust Account Property that is an uncertificated security
that is a “book-entry security” (as such term is defined in Federal Reserve
Bank Operating Circular No. 7) held in a securities account at a Federal
Reserve Bank and eligible for transfer through the Fedwire® Securities Service







					
	 
	 	10
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 







operated by the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry
regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the
definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee or
its designee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in
Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee or
such designee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry
registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph.



     SECTION 4.2 Remittances. The Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to all
Collections into the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt; provided, however,
that if the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, then the Servicer shall not be required to
deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal to the Collections received during any
Collection Period until 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the following Payment Date. The
“Monthly Remittance Condition” shall be deemed to be satisfied if (i) VCI is the Servicer,
(ii) no Servicer Replacement Event has occurred and is continuing and (iii)(x) Volkswagen AG has a
short-term debt rating of at least “P-1” from Moody’s and “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s, (y) both
Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are then rating a debt issuance of Volkswagen of America, Inc. or VCI
(and, in the case of VCI, such debt issuance is guaranteed by Volkswagen AG) and (z) VCI remains a
direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer may remit Collections to the Collection Account on any other alternate remittance schedule
(but not later than the related Payment Date) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with
respect to such alternate remittance schedule. Pending deposit into the Collection Account,
Collections may be commingled and used by the Servicer at its own risk and are not required to be
segregated from its own funds.



     SECTION 4.3 Additional Deposits and Payments; Servicer Advances. (a) On each Payment
Date, the Servicer and the Seller will deposit into the Collection Account the aggregate Repurchase
Price with respect to Repurchased Receivables purchased by the Servicer or the Seller,
respectively, on such Payment Date and the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all
amounts, if any, to be paid under Section 8.1 in connection with the Optional Purchase.
All such deposits with respect to a Payment Date will be made, in immediately available funds by
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Payment Date related to such Collection Period.



     (b) The Indenture Trustee will, on each Payment Date, withdraw from the Reserve Account the
Reserve Account Excess Amount, if any, for such Payment Date and deposit such amounts in the
Collection Account.



     (c) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account prior to
11:00 a.m., New York City time, an advance in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) any shortfall in
the amounts available to make the payments in clauses first through fourth of Section
4.4(a) and (b) the aggregate scheduled monthly payments due on Receivables but not received
during and prior to the related Collection Period (an “Advance”); provided, however, that
the Servicer will not be obligated to make an Advance if the Servicer reasonably determines in its





					
	 
	 	11
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





sole discretion that such Advance is not likely to be repaid from future cash flows from the
Receivables. No Advances will be made with respect to Defaulted Receivables.




     (d) The Indenture Trustee will, on the Payment Date relating to each Collection Period,
withdraw from the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Draw Amount and deposit such amounts in the
Collection Account.



     (e) On the Closing Date the Seller will deposit, or cause to be deposited from proceeds of the
sale of the Notes, into the Reserve Account an amount equal to the Initial Reserve Account Deposit
Amount.



     SECTION 4.4 Distributions.

the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on or before the related Determination Date pursuant to
Section 3.8) shall make the following deposits and distributions, to the extent of
Available Funds, Advances made on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.3(c) and the
Reserve Account Draw Amount, on deposit in the Collection Account for such Payment Date, in the
following order of priority:




	 	(i)	 	first, to the Servicer (or any predecessor Servicer, if
applicable) for reimbursement of all outstanding Advances;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid
Servicing Fees with respect to prior periods;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	third, to the Noteholders, the Accrued Note Interest for the
related Interest Period; provided that if there are not sufficient funds
available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Note Interest, the amounts
available will be applied to the payment of such interest on the Notes on a pro
rata basis;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	fourth, to the Principal Distribution Account for distribution
to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Indenture, the
Noteholders’ Principal Distribution Amount;
	 
	 	(v)	 	fifth, to the Reserve Account, any additional amounts required
to increase the amount in the Reserve Account up to the Specified Reserve
Account Balance;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	sixth, to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, fees and
expenses (including indemnification amounts) permitted under the Trust
Agreement and the Indenture, as applicable, which have not been previously
paid;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	seventh, to the Certificateholder, to reduce the outstanding

	 	12
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 







	 	(viii)	 	eighth, to or at the direction of the Seller, any funds remaining.




Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.4, following the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default which has resulted in an acceleration of the Notes,
the Indenture Trustee shall apply all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture.




     (b) After the payment in full of the Notes and all other amounts payable under Section
4.4(a), all Collections shall be paid to or in accordance with the instructions provided from
time to time by the Certificateholder.



     (c) Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained in any of the Transaction
Documents, if the Class A-1 Notes remain outstanding at that time, all payments, deposits and
withdrawals required to be made on the Payment Date in November 2006 shall be made on the Class A-1
Final Scheduled Payment Date, except that payments of interest and principal on the Class A-2
Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes shall be paid on the applicable Payment Date in November
2006.



     SECTION 4.5 Net Deposits. If the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the
Servicer shall be permitted to deposit into the Collection Account only the net amount
distributable to Persons other than the Servicer and its Affiliates on the Payment Date. The
Servicer shall, however, account as if all of the deposits and distributions described herein were
made individually.



     SECTION 4.6 Statements to Certificateholder and Noteholders. On or before each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and each Paying Agent, and
the Indenture Trustee shall forward such copy to each of the Rating Agencies and to each Noteholder

ARTICLE V




THE SELLER




     SECTION 5.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller makes the following
representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have
relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets
to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture:



     (a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a Delaware limited liability company validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material
respects, all power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The
Seller 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 Seller to perform its obligations
under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables
or any other part of the Transferred Assets.



     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Seller of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all
necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Seller 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 Seller’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 Seller 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 Transferred Assets or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the
Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.



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



     (e) Lien Filings. The Seller is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien
filings against the Seller.





					
	 
	 	15
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 






     (f) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller 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 the
Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the
collectibility or enforceability of the Receivables, or (iv) relate to the Seller that would
materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax State income, excise, franchise or
similar tax attributes of the Notes.



     SECTION 5.2 Liability of Seller; Indemnities. The Seller shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller
under this Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following:



     (a) The Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder from and against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by reason of the Seller’s violation of federal or State securities laws in
connection with the registration or the sale of the Notes.



     (b) The Seller will pay any and all taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer or upon all or
any part of the Trust Estate.



     (c) Indemnification under this Section 5.2 will survive the resignation or removal of
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and will include,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the
Seller has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section 5.2 and the Person to or on
behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such
Person will promptly repay such amounts to the Seller, without interest.



     (d) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 5.2 are obligations solely of the
Seller and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Seller does not
have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation
of the foregoing, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, by
entering into or accepting this Agreement, acknowledge and agree that they have no right, title or
interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the
agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from,
Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other
Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency
laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest,
claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible
payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or
conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or
otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest





					
	 
	 	16
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under
applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller),
including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This
subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section
510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner
Trustee each further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of
this Section 5.2(d) and the terms of this Section 5.2(d) may be enforced by an
action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 5.2(d) will be for the
third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this
Agreement.




     SECTION 5.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller.
Any Person (i) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger,
conversion, or consolidation to which the Seller is a party, (iii) succeeding to the business of
the Seller, or (iv) more than 50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the
economic equity of which is owned directly or indirectly by Volkswagen AG, which Person in any of
the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller
under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement without the
execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller enters into any of the foregoing
transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger, conversion,
consolidation or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.3
and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such
transaction have been complied with and (y) the Seller will deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are
necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interest.
The Seller will provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation, or succession pursuant to
this Section 5.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of
this Section 5.3 will be conditions to the consummation of any of the transactions referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.3 in which the Seller is not the
surviving entity.



     SECTION 5.4 Limitation on Liability of Seller and Others. The Seller and any officer
or employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any
document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Seller will not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute, or
defend any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in
its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.



     SECTION 5.5 Seller May Own Notes. The Seller, and any Affiliate of the Seller, may in
its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights as
it would have if it were not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or





					
	 
	 	17
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





in the other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by the Seller or any such Affiliate will
have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, without preference, priority, or distinction as among all of the Notes.
Notes owned by the Issuer, Seller, Servicer, Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates
shall be disregarded with respect to the determination of any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, vote or waiver hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.




     SECTION 5.6 Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements. To the extent any documents are required
to be filed or any certification is required to be made with respect to the Issuer or the Notes
pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer and the Seller, or
either of them, to prepare, sign, certify and file any such documents or certifications on behalf
of the Issuer.



     SECTION 5.7 Compliance with Organizational Documents. The Seller shall comply with
its limited liability company agreement and other organizational documents.



ARTICLE VI




THE SERVICER




     SECTION 6.1 Representations of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following
representations and warranties as of the Closing Date on which the Issuer will be deemed to have
relied in acquiring the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties speak as of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and will survive the conveyance of the Transferred Assets
to the Issuer and the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture:



     (a) Existence and Power. The Servicer is a Delaware corporation validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has, in all material respects, all power and
authority to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The Servicer 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 Servicer to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents or affect the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of
the Transferred Assets.



     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by
all necessary action on the part of the Servicer 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 Servicer’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





					
	 
	 	18
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





by the Servicer 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 would not
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.




     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against the
Servicer 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 the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer 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 the
Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or (iv)
relate to the Servicer that would materially and adversely affect the federal or Applicable Tax
State income, excise, franchise or similar tax attributes of the Notes.



     SECTION 6.2 Indemnities of Servicer. The Servicer will be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this
Agreement, and hereby agrees to the following:



     (a) The Servicer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder and the Seller from and against any and
all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the
use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle.



     (b) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against any such
Person with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Transaction Documents,
if any, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible
personal property, privilege, or license taxes (but, in the case of the Issuer, not including any
taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the conveyance of the Receivables to the
Issuer or the issuance and original sales of the Notes, or asserted with respect to ownership of
the Receivables, or federal or other Applicable Tax State income taxes arising out of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) and costs and
expenses in defending against the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer will not
indemnify for any costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities due to the credit





					
	 
	 	19
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





risk of the Obligor and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse for uncollectible
Receivables.




     (c) The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholder and the Seller from and against any and
all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage, or liability arose out of, or was imposed upon any such Person
through, the negligence, willful misfeasance, or bad faith (other than errors in judgment) of the
Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party, or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party; provided, however, that the Servicer will not indemnify for any costs,
expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from its breach of any covenant for which
the repurchase of the affected Receivables is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to Section 3.6.



     (d) The Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Owner Trustee to the extent and subject to
the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Trust Agreement. The
Servicer will compensate and indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 6.7 of the Indenture, except to the extent that any cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is incurred in connection with the
performance by the Indenture Trustee of the duties of a successor Servicer hereunder.



     (e) Indemnification under this Section 6.2 by VCI (or any successor thereto pursuant
to Section 7.1) as Servicer, with respect to the period such Person was the Servicer, will
survive the termination of such Person as Servicer or a resignation by such Person as Servicer as
well as the termination of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and will include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this
Section 6.2 and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter
collects any of such amounts from others, such Person will promptly repay such amounts to the
Servicer, without interest.



     SECTION 6.3 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.
Any Person (i) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any
merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, (iii) succeeding to the
business of the Servicer, or (iv) of which Volkswagen AG owns, directly or indirectly, more than
50% of the voting stock or voting power and 50% or more of the economic equity, which Person in any
of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the
Servicer under this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer enters into any of the foregoing
transactions and is not the surviving entity, (x) the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such merger,
conversion, consolidation, or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this
Section 6.3 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to
such transaction have been complied with and (y) the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an





					
	 
	 	20
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all financing
statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are
necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
respectively, in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to preserve and protect such interests.
The Servicer will provide notice of any merger, conversion, consolidation or succession pursuant to
this Section 6.3 to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (x) and (y) of
this Section 6.3 will be conditions to the consummation of any of the transactions referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 6.3 in which the Servicer is not the
surviving entity.




     SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. (a) Neither the Servicer
nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer will be under any
liability to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholder, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining
from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision will not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance or bad faith in the performance of
duties or by reason of its failure to perform its obligations or of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties under this Agreement, or by reason of negligence in the performance of its
duties under this Agreement (except for errors in judgment). The Servicer and any director,
officer or employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any Opinion of Counsel or on
any Officer’s Certificate of the Seller or certificate of auditors believed to be genuine and to
have been signed by the proper party in respect of any matters arising under this Agreement.



     (b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer will not be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute, or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to service
the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may undertake any reasonable action that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties to this Agreement and the interests of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder under this
Agreement. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Servicer.



     SECTION 6.5 Delegation of Duties. The Servicer may, at any time without notice or
consent, delegate (a) any or all of its duties (including, without limitation, its duties as
custodian) under the Transaction Documents to any of its Affiliates or (b) specific duties to
sub-contractors who are in the business of performing such duties; provided that no such delegation
shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties and the Servicer shall
remain obligated and liable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for its duties hereunder as if
the Servicer alone were performing such duties.



     SECTION 6.6 VCI Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Sections
6.3 and 6.5, VCI will not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
as Servicer under this Agreement except upon determination that the performance of its duties under
this





					
	 
	 	21
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





Agreement is no longer permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination
permitting the resignation of VCI will be communicated to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at
the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, will be confirmed in
writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination will be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee concurrently
with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation will become effective until a successor
Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of VCI as Servicer.




     SECTION 6.7 Servicer May Own Notes. The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the Servicer,
may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same
rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents. Except as set forth herein or in
the other Transaction Documents, Notes so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or such Affiliate
will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this Agreement, without
preference, priority or distinction as among all of the Notes.



ARTICLE VII




REPLACEMENT OF SERVICER




     SECTION 7.1 Replacement of Servicer.



     (a) If a Servicer Replacement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture
Trustee shall, at the direction of 66-2/3% of the Noteholders, by notice given to the Servicer, the
Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency, terminate the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables. In
the event the Servicer is removed or resigns as Servicer with respect to servicing the Receivables,
the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer. Upon the Servicer’s receipt of notice of
termination the predecessor Servicer will continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this
Agreement only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified
in such termination notice, until receipt of such notice. If a successor Servicer has not been
appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer ceases to act as Servicer in accordance with
this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action will automatically be appointed the
successor Servicer. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee, if it is legally unable or
is unwilling to so act, will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer shall be an established institution having a net worth
of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of comparable motor
vehicle receivables having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $50,000,000.



     (b) Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Notes may waive any
Servicer Replacement Event. Upon any such waiver, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to
exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this
Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Servicer Termination
Event or impair any right consequent thereto.





					
	 
	 	22
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 






     (c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing of the Receivables to a successor
Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the
Receivable Files to the successor Servicer and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transfer to the successor Servicer related to the performance by the Servicer
hereunder will be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs and expenses.



     (d) Upon the effectiveness of the assumption by the successor Servicer of its duties pursuant
to this Section 7.1, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer
in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the Receivables, and shall be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, except with respect
to the obligations of the predecessor Servicer that survive its termination as Servicer, including
indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.2(e). In such event, the Indenture Trustee
and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such termination and replacement of the Servicer, whether to complete the transfer
and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. No Servicer shall resign
or be relieved of its duties under this Agreement, as Servicer of the Receivables, until a newly
appointed Servicer for the Receivables shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the resigning or terminated Servicer under this Agreement.



     (e) In connection with such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of the successor Servicer out of Available Funds as it and such successor Servicer
will agree; provided, however, that no such compensation will be in excess of the amount paid to
the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement.



     (f) The predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for any outstanding
Advances made with respect to the Receivables to the extent funds are available therefore in
accordance with Section 4.4.



     SECTION 7.2 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a
successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Indenture Trustee will give prompt
written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, each Rating Agency and
to the Noteholders at their respective addresses of record.



ARTICLE VIII




OPTIONAL PURCHASE




     SECTION 8.1 Optional Purchase of Trust Estate. If VCI is the Servicer, then VCI shall
have the right at its option (the “Optional Purchase”) to purchase the Trust Estate (other
than the Reserve Account) from the Issuer on any Payment Date if, either before or after giving
effect to any payment of principal required to be made on such Payment Date, the aggregate Net Pool
Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the initial Net Pool Balance. The purchase price for the
Trust Estate shall equal the greater of (a) the unpaid principal amount of the Notes plus





					
	 
	 	23
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Interest Rate up to but excluding the
Redemption Date and (b) the fair market value of the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account)
(the “Optional Purchase Price”), which amount shall be deposited by the Servicer into the
Collection Account on the Redemption Date. If VCI, as Servicer, exercises the Optional Purchase,
the Notes shall be redeemed and in each case in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date
for the Redemption Price.




ARTICLE IX




MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS




     SECTION 9.1 Amendment.



     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Servicer
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, or the Owner Trustee or
any other Person; provided that such amendment shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee. For greater clarity,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the consent of a Person shall not be required for
any amendment if the interests of such Person are not materially and adversely affected.



     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Servicer 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 Servicer or any of their Affiliates to comply with or obtain more
favorable treatment under any law or regulation or any accounting rule or principle, it being a
condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.



     (c) This Agreement (including Appendix A) may also be amended from time to time by Seller,
Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Noteholders evidencing not less than a
majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting as a single
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;
provided that no such amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note,
change the timing of distributions on any Note or delay the Final Scheduled Payment Date of any
Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent
to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Notes which were required to consent to such matter
before giving effect to such amendment; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may not agree
to any amendment to this Agreement if such amendment failed to comply with the requirements of
Section 9.2 of the Indenture. 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





					
	 
	 	24
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





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, the Servicer 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, the Servicer 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 Seller, 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 or execute on behalf of the Issuer 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 9.2 Protection of Title.



     (a) The Seller 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 Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee under this Agreement in the Receivables. The Seller shall deliver (or cause to
be delivered) to the Issuer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as
provided above, as soon as available following such filing.



     (b) None of the Issuer, the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity,
organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization in any manner that would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller 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 Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior written
notice thereof and, to the extent necessary, has promptly filed amendments to previously filed
financing statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above.



     (c) The Seller shall give the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee at least five days’ prior
written notice of any change of location of the Seller 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 to amend all previously filed financing
statements or continuation statements described in paragraph (a) above.



     (d) The Servicer 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





					
	 
	 	25
	 	2005-1 Sale & Servicing Agreement






 









 





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) The Servicer 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 Issuer in such Receivable and that such Receivable is owned by
the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of
the Issuer’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 the Servicer 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, the Servicer 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 Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee.



     (g) The Servicer, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, shall permit the Indenture Trustee,
the Owner Trustee and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect,
audit and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make copies of and abstracts from Servicer’s
(or any Sub-Servicer’s) records regarding any Receivable.



     (h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Issuer or to the Indenture Trustee, within
thirty Business Days, a list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) then owned
by the Issuer, together with a reconciliation of such list to each of the Servicer’s Certificates
furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Issuer.



     SECTION 9.3 Other Liens or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants of
security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Seller shall
not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Receivables or other property transferred to the Issuer to
any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted

Issuer in, to and under such Receivables and other property transferred to the Issuer against all

     SECTION 9.4 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

shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller.

and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty

(express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The
limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller 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 Transferred
Assets are held to be property of the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed
to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Transferred 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 the Seller, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer
of 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 Transferred Assets, to secure such indebtedness
and the performance of the obligations of the Seller hereunder;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The possession by the Issuer, or the Servicer as the Issuer’s
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 Issuer for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.





     SECTION 9.5 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 set forth on Schedule II hereto 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 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.

     (q) Priority. The Receivable is not pledged, assigned, sold, subject to a security
interest, or otherwise conveyed other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Seller has
not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against VCI or the Seller

statement relating to security interests granted under the Transaction Documents or that have
been terminated. The Sale and Servicing Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest
in the Receivable (other than the Related Security with respect thereto) in favor of the Issuer
which security interest is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is enforceable
as such against all other creditors of and purchasers and assignees from the Seller.




     (r) Characterization of Receivables. Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible
chattel paper”, an “account”, a “promissory note” or a “payment intangible”, each as defined in the
UCC.



     (s) One Original. There is only one original executed copy of each Receivable in
existence. The Servicer (or its agent) has possession of such original. If such original has been
marked, then such original does not have any marks or notations indicating that it has been
pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than to a party to the Transaction
Documents.



     (t) No Defenses. The Seller has no knowledge either of any facts which would give
rise to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, or of the same being asserted or
threatened, with respect to any Receivable.



     (u) No Repossession. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Financed Vehicle shall have been
repossessed.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS




In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement, the Seller
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows on the
Closing Date:



General



1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable
UCC) in the Receivables and the other Transferred Assets in favor of the Issuer, which security
interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Seller.



2. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper,” “accounts,” “instruments” or “general
intangibles,” within the meaning of the UCC.



3. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the
related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator, as secured party, or all necessary
actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first
priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator,
as secured party.




Creation



4. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller
to the Issuer, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear
of any Lien and immediately after the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable
to the Issuer, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of
any Lien.



5. The related Originator has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables
hereunder to the Issuer required by the terms of the Receivables that constitute instruments.




Perfection



6. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of this
Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from
the Seller to Issuer, and the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Issuer hereunder;
and the Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession the original copies of such
instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables, and all
financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or
security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights
of the Secured Party/Purchaser”.







					
	 
	 	B-1
	 	Exhibit B to the
Sale and
Servicing Agreement












 









 







7. With respect to Receivables that constitute instruments or tangible chattel paper, either:



(i) All original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or



(ii) Such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the

capacity as custodian, is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and
for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee; or



(iii) The Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the
Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is acting
solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee.




Priority



8. Neither the Seller nor VCI has authorized the filing of, or is aware of, any financing
statements against either the Seller or VCI that include a description of collateral covering the
Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by
VCI to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the security interest granted to
Issuer hereunder or (iii) that has been terminated.



9. Neither the Seller nor VCI is aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against
either the Seller or VCI.



10. None of the instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Receivables
has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed
to any Person other than the Seller, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.




Survival of Perfection Representations



11. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
Exhibit B shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all
obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Notes have been finally and fully paid and
performed.




No Waiver



12. The parties to the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt
written notice of any breach of the perfection representations, warranties and covenants contained
in this Exhibit D, and shall not, without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, waive a breach of
any of such perfection representations, warranties or covenants.

Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority perfected security interest, the Indenture
Trustee’s security interest in the Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time and within
the time limits established by law, prepare and file, all financing statements, amendments,
continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations,
