     THIS ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of February 13, 2007, is
between VOLKSWAGEN AUTO LOAN ENHANCED TRUST 2007-1, a Delaware statutory trust (the
“Issuer”), VW CREDIT, INC., a Delaware corporation, as administrator (“VCI” or in
its capacity as administrator, the “Administrator”), and CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking
association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned such terms in Appendix A
to the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 (the “Sale and Servicing
Agreement”) by and among Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC, as seller, the
Issuer, VCI, as servicer, and the Indenture Trustee.

W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, the Issuer has issued the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificate
pursuant to the Trust Agreement and has entered into certain agreements in connection therewith,
including, (i) the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Indenture, (iii) the Note Depository
Agreement, (iv) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and (v) the Trust Agreement (each of the
agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (v) are referred to herein
collectively as the “Issuer Documents”);

     WHEREAS, to secure payment of the Notes, the Issuer has pledged the Collateral to the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Issuer Documents, the Issuer and the Owner Trustee are required to
perform certain duties;

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

     WHEREAS, the Administrator has the capacity to provide the services required hereby and is
willing to perform such services for the Issuer and the Owner Trustee on the terms set forth
herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

     1. Duties of the Administrator.

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

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

 

 

of the Owner Trustee under Sections 11.12, 11.13, 11.14 and
11.15 of the Trust Agreement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the
Owner Trustee pursuant to or related to Regulation AB. In addition, the Administrator shall
consult with the Issuer and the Owner Trustee regarding its duties and obligations under the
Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the
Owner Trustee and shall advise the Issuer and the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to
comply with the Issuer’s and the Owner Trustee’s duties and obligations under the Issuer
Documents. The Administrator shall perform such calculations, and shall prepare for
execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other
appropriate persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and
opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as
owner trustee) to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all appropriate action that is the duty of
the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee) to take pursuant to the
Issuer Documents, and shall prepare and execute on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee
all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be
the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the
Issuer Documents or otherwise by law.

     (b) No Action by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take any action
that the Issuer directs the Administrator not to take nor which would result in a violation
or breach of the Issuer’s covenants, agreements or obligations under any of the Issuer
Documents.

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

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

     (A) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of
any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer;

     (B) the appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents,
successor Indenture Trustees, successor Administrators or successor Servicers, or
the consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the
Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; and

     (C) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

     (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, (x) make any payments to

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

the Noteholders under the Transaction Documents, (y) except as provided in the
Transaction Documents, sell the Trust Estate or (z) take any other action that the
Issuer directs the Administrator not to take on its behalf.

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

     3. Compensation; Payment of Fees and Expenses. As compensation for the performance of
the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related
thereto, the Administrator shall be entitled to receive $30,000 annually which shall be solely an
obligation of the Servicer. The Administrator shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection
with its activities hereunder.

     4. Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the
Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations
hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority to
act for or to represent the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.

     5. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the
Administrator and the Issuer as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,
unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability
as such on any of them or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or
apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.

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

     7. Representations and Warranties of the Administrator. The Administrator represents
and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows:

     (a) Existence and Power. The Administrator is a corporation validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The
Administrator has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where
the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator
to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral.

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

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

3

 

do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or
regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order
or other instrument to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations
which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and
which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the
transactions contemplated by, or the Administrator’s ability to perform its obligations
under, the Transaction Documents).

     (c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Administrator of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings,
(ii) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have
previously been made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained
or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of
the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral or would not materially and adversely
affect the ability of the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents.

     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable
against the Administrator in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in
effect or by general principles of equity.

     8. Administrator Replacement Events; Termination of the Administrator.

     (a) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Administrator may resign
its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written
notice.

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

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

     (i) any failure by the Administrator to deliver or cause to be delivered any
required payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders, which
failure continues unremedied for ten business days after discovery thereof by a
Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written
notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting together
as a single class;

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

4

 

     (ii) any failure by the Administrator to duly observe or perform in any
material respect any other of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which
failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the
Noteholders, and which continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a
Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written
notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting together
as a single class;

     (iii) any representation or warranty of the Administrator made in any
Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party or by which it is bound
or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely
affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which failure continues
unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the
Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof from the
Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, voting together as a single class (it
being understood that any repurchase of a Receivable by VCI pursuant to Section
3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.3 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.6
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to remedy any incorrect
representation or warranty with respect to such Receivable); or

     (iv) the Administrator suffers a Bankruptcy Event;

provided, however, that a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above for a period of 150 days will not constitute an
Administrator Replacement Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or
other similar occurrence.

          (d) If an Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject
to Section 19 hereof, by notice given to the Administrator and the Owner Trustee,
terminate all or a portion of the rights and powers of the Administrator under this
Agreement, including the rights of the Administrator to receive the annual fee for services
hereunder for all periods following such termination; provided, however, that such
termination shall not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section
19 hereof, shall have appointed a successor Administrator in the manner set forth below.
Upon any such termination, all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of the
Administrator under this Agreement shall vest in and be assumed by any successor
Administrator appointed by the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, pursuant to a
management agreement between the Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing
substantially the same provisions as this Agreement (including with respect to the
compensation of such successor Administrator), and the successor Administrator is hereby
irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrator,
as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect such vesting

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

and assumption. Further, in such event, the Administrator shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the administration of the
Issuer to the new Administrator.

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

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

     10. Liens. The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, allow or suffer
to exist any Lien on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

     11. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage
prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile, and addressed in each case as
specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties
hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an
officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient
for notices hereunder.

     12. Amendments.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator without
the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Swap Counterparty, the
Owner Trustee or any other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following
conditions:

     (i) the Administrator delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee
to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Noteholders;

     (ii) the Administrator delivers an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator
to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially or
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or

     (iii) the Administrator delivers to the Indenture Trustee written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause it to downgrade, qualify
or withdraw its rating assigned to any of the Notes;

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

6

 

provided, that no amendment shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or duties of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person;
provided, further, that such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the rights or
obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement unless
the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such amendment (and such consent shall be
deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does not object in writing within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of a written request for such consent).

     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator 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 (whether now or in the future), it being a condition to any such amendment that
the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

     (c) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the
Administrator and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing
not less than a majority of the aggregate 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 such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect
the rights or obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate
Swap Agreement unless the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such
amendment (and such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does
not object in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request for
such consent). It will not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any
other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record
dates pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner
Trustee; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency, the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted
by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such
amendment have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall
not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment

Administration Agreement

(VALET 2007-1)

which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable,
own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

     13. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

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

     (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered in connection
herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to
the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the
courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and
appellate courts from any thereof;

     (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts
and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of such
action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought
in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

     (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address
determined in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement;

     (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any
other jurisdiction; and

     (v) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably
waives all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim based
on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.

     14. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of

Agreement.

     15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     16. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     17. Not Applicable to VCI in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
any obligation VCI may have in any other capacity.

     18. Benefits of the Administration Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or

Owner Trustee, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.10 of the
Indenture, the Swap Counterparty and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee is a third
party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may
enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.

     19. Assignment. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to the mortgage,
pledge, assignment and Grant of a security interest by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders of all of the Issuer’s rights under this

consents, rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement.

     20. Nonpetition Covenant. Each party hereto agrees that, prior to the date which is

respect of all securities issued by any Bankruptcy Remote Party (i) such party shall not authorize
any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other
proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such Bankruptcy
Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver,

the parties hereto shall commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding
against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or
insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.

     21. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, this Agreement has been executed and delivered by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware,
not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee, and in no event shall it have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the
Issuer hereunder or under the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any of the
certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant thereto, as to all of which recourse shall
be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be
personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expense of the Issuer or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligations, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by
the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. For the purposes of this Agreement, in the performance
of its duties or obligations hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the
benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the
Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE I

ARTICLE II

ORGANIZATION

     SECTION 2.1. Name. The trust created under the Original Trust Agreement shall be known as
“Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2007-1” (the “Issuer”), in which name the Owner
Trustee may conduct the business of such trust, make and execute contracts and other instruments on
behalf of such trust and sue and be sued.

     SECTION 2.2. Office. The office of the Issuer shall be in care of the Owner Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office or at such other address as the Owner Trustee may designate by written
notice to the Certificateholder, the Seller and the Administrator.

     SECTION 2.3. Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Issuer is, and the Issuer shall have the
power and authority, to engage in the following activities:

     (a) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificate pursuant to this
Agreement, and to sell, transfer and exchange the Notes and the Certificate and to pay
interest on and principal of the Notes and distributions on the Certificate;

     (b) to enter into and perform its obligations under any interest rate protection
agreement or agreements relating to the Notes between the Issuer and one or more
counterparties, including any confirmations, evidencing the transactions thereunder, each of
which is an interest rate swap, an interest rate cap, an obligation to enter into any of the
foregoing or any combination of any of the foregoing;

     (c) to acquire the property and assets set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement
from the Seller pursuant to the terms thereof, to make deposits to and withdrawals from the
Collection Account, the Principal Distribution Account and the Reserve Account and to pay
the organizational, start-up and transactional expenses of the Issuer;

     (d) to assign, Grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant

the Trust Estate released from the lien of, and remitted to the Issuer pursuant to, the
Indenture;

     (e) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party;

     (f) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are

connected therewith; and

2

 

     (g) subject to compliance with the Transaction Documents, to engage in such other
activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Trust Estate and the
making of distributions to the Certificateholder and the Noteholders.

The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities on behalf of the
Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall engage in any
activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the
terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

     SECTION 2.4. Appointment of the Owner Trustee. The Seller hereby appoints the Owner Trustee
as trustee of the Issuer effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties
set forth herein.

     SECTION 2.5. Initial Capital Contribution of Trust Estate. As of the date of the Original
Trust Agreement, the Seller sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over to the Owner Trustee
the sum of $1. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Seller, as of such
date, of the foregoing contribution, which shall constitute the initial Trust Estate and shall be
deposited in the Collection Account.

     SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the
Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit
of the Certificateholder, subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer constitute a statutory trust under the
Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such
statutory trust. It is the intent of the parties hereto that, solely for income, franchise and
value added tax purposes, so long as there is a single beneficial owner of the Certificate, the
Issuer will be disregarded as an entity separate from such beneficial owner and the Notes will be
characterized as debt. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax
authorities, the Issuer will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns,
reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Issuer as an entity separate
from its owner. In the event that the Issuer is deemed to have more than one beneficial owner for
federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will file returns, reports and other forms consistent with
the characterization of the Issuer as a partnership, and this Agreement shall be amended to include
such provisions as may be required under Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and
duties set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the
purposes of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee filed the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware as required by Section 3810(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Statutory Trust Statute to the contrary, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that the Issuer constitute a “business trust” within the meaning of
Section 101(9)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code.

     SECTION 2.7. Organizational Expenses; Liabilities of the Holders.

     (a) The Servicer shall pay organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise.

3

 

     (b) No Certificateholder (including the Seller) shall have any personal liability for
any liability or obligation of the Issuer.

     SECTION 2.8. Title to the Trust Estate. Legal title to all the Trust Estate shall be vested
at all times in the Issuer as a separate legal entity.

     SECTION 2.9. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and
warrants to the Owner Trustee that:

     (a) Existence and Power. The Seller is a 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 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 and the Underwriting Agreement.

     (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 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 instruments
or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which it is a party or
its property is subject (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, indenture
or agreements which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such
agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely
affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations
under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party).

     (c) No Consent Required. No approval, authorization or other action 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 which 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 ability of the Seller to perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document and the Underwriting Agreement 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 or other similar laws of general application
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity.

4

 

     (e) No Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or,
to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller which, either in any one
instance or in the aggregate, would result in any material adverse change in the business,
operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller, or in any material
impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as
now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Seller, or which would render
invalid this Agreement or the Receivables or the obligations of the Seller contemplated
herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the Seller to perform under the
terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

     SECTION 2.10. Situs of Issuer. The Issuer shall be located in the State of Delaware and
administered in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. All bank accounts maintained by
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of
New York. The Issuer shall not have any employees in any state; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the
State of Delaware. Payments will be received by the Issuer only in Delaware or New York and
payments will be made by the Issuer only from Delaware or New York.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATE AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATE

     SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Issuer and until the issuance of
the Certificate, the Seller is the sole beneficiary of the Issuer; and upon the issuance of the
Certificate, the Seller will no longer be a beneficiary of the Issuer, except to the extent that
the Seller is the Certificateholder.

     SECTION 3.2. Authentication of Certificate. Concurrently with the sale of the Transferred
Assets to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause
the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Issuer, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Seller, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, its chief
financial officer, its chief accounting officer, any vice president, its secretary, any assistant
secretary, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer, without further corporate action by the
Seller. The Certificate shall represent 100% of the beneficial interest in the Issuer and shall be
fully-paid and nonassessable.

     SECTION 3.3. Form of the Certificate. The Certificate, upon issuance, will be issued in the
form of a typewritten Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
representing a definitive Certificate and shall be registered in the name of “Volkswagen Public
Auto Loan Securitization, LLC” as the initial registered owner thereof. The Owner Trustee shall
execute and authenticate, or cause to be authenticated, the definitive Certificate in accordance
with the instructions of the Seller.

     SECTION 3.4. Registration of Certificates. The Owner Trustee shall maintain at its office
referred to in Section 2.2, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in
writing by the Certificateholder at the time of such appointment, a register for the registration
and transfer of the Certificate.

5

 

     SECTION 3.5. Transfer of Certificate. (a) The Certificateholder may assign, convey or
otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the Certificate; provided, that
(i) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied, (ii) the Owner Trustee and the Issuer receive an
Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such transfer will not cause the
Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes, (iii) the
Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of or with the assets of a Benefit Plan. By
accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the holder thereof shall be deemed
to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not purchasing the
Certificate (or any interest therein) on behalf of a Benefit Plan. The Owner Trustee shall have no
duty to independently determine that the requirement in (iii) above is met and shall incur
no liability to any person in the event the holder of the Certificate does not comply with such
restrictions. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Certificate, the
Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the beneficial interest in the Issuer
evidenced by such Certificate upon surrender thereof to the Owner Trustee accompanied by the
documents required by this Section. Such transfer may be made by the registered Certificateholder
in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of the Certificate to the
Owner Trustee accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and with such signature guarantees
and evidence of authority of the Persons signing the instrument of transfer as the Owner Trustee
may reasonably require. Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Owner
Trustee of the transferor’s Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall record the name of such transferee
as a Certificateholder and its percentage of beneficial interest in the Issuer in the Certificate
register and issue, execute and deliver to such Certificateholder a Certificate evidencing such
beneficial interest in the Issuer. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee shall register and issue to such transferor a
new Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new percentage of beneficial interest in the Issuer.
Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Owner
Trustee shall cancel and destroy the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such
transfer. The Owner Trustee may treat, for all purposes whatsoever, the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by
such Certificate, and neither the Owner Trustee, nor any agent of the Owner Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     (b) As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section
3.5, the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment
of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection with
such transfer.

     (c) The Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to register any transfer of a Certificate
unless each of the transferor and the transferee have certified to the Owner Trustee that
such transfer does not violate any of the transfer restrictions stated herein including, but
not limited to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 3.5. The Owner
Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for registering any transfer based on such
certifications.

     (d) No transfer (or purported transfer) of all or any part of a Certificateholder’s
interest (or any economic interest therein), whether to another Certificateholder or to a
person who is not a Certificateholder, shall be effective, and any such transfer (or
purported transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no person shall otherwise
become a

6

 

Certificateholder if, after such transfer (or purported transfer), the Issuer would
have more than 100 Certificateholders. For purposes of determining whether the Issuer will
have more than 100 Certificateholders, each person indirectly owning an interest through a
partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes), a grantor trust or an S corporation (each such entity, a “flow-through
entity”) shall be treated as a Certificateholder unless the Depositor determines in its
sole and absolute discretion, after consulting with qualified tax counsel, that less than
substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest in the flow-through entity
is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer.

     (e) No transfer shall be permitted if the same is effected through an established
securities market or secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the
meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or would make the Issuer ineligible for “safe harbor”
treatment under Section 7704 of the Code.

     SECTION 3.6. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Certificates. If (i) any mutilated
Certificate is surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or (ii) the Owner Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction that the Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership
satisfactory to the Owner Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be requested by
the Owner Trustee to save it harmless, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver a new
Certificate for the same percentage of beneficial interest in the Issuer as the Certificate so
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, of like tenor and bearing a different issue number, with such
notations, if any, as the Owner Trustee shall determine. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 3.6, the Issuer or Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of the Certificate and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

ARTICLE IV

Swap Counterparty under the Transaction documents have been paid without the prior written approval
of the Certificateholder and the delivery to the Owner Trustee by the Certificateholder of a
certificate certifying that the Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Issuer is insolvent.

Transaction Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3, nor shall the Owner Trustee be
obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

     SECTION 4.5. Majority Control. To the extent that there is more than one Certificateholder,
any action which may be taken or consent or instructions which may be given by the
Certificateholder under this Agreement may be taken by Certificateholders holding in the aggregate
a percentage of the beneficial interest in the Issuer equal to more than 50% of the beneficial
interest in the Issuer at the time of such action.

ARTICLE VI

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

     SECTION 6.1. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and
deliver the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is named as a party, and each certificate or
other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the
Issuer or the Owner Trustee is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such
form as the Seller shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution
thereof, and at the written direction of the Seller, to direct the Indenture Trustee to
authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000, Class
A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $387,000,000, Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $203,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$283,571,000. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized, but shall not be
obligated, to take all actions required of the Issuer pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The
Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Seller or the
Administrator recommends or directs in writing with respect to the Transaction Documents, except to
the extent that this Agreement expressly requires the consent of the Certificateholder for such
action.

     SECTION 6.2. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause
to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and to administer the Issuer in the interest of the

9

 

Certificateholder, subject to Transaction Documents, and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have
discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to the
extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to
discharge any duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Transaction Document,
and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry
out its obligations under the Administration Agreement and shall have no duty to monitor the
performance of the Administrator or any other Person under the Administration Agreement or any
other document. The Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect the
Receivables or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or
collection of the Receivables. The Owner Trustee shall not be required to perform any of the
obligations of the Issuer under any Transaction Document that are required to be performed by the
Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee.

     SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction. (a) Subject to Article IV, and in accordance
with the Transaction Documents, the Certificateholder may, by written instruction, direct the Owner
Trustee in the management of the Issuer. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written
instruction of the Certificateholder pursuant to Article IV.

     (b) Subject to Section 7.1, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any
action hereunder or under any Transaction Document if the Owner Trustee shall have
reasonably determined or been advised by counsel that such action is likely to result in
liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any
Transaction Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

     (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of
action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or
is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction
Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be,
in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits
any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of
action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts,
the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the
circumstances) to the Certificateholder requesting instruction as to the course of action to
be adopted or application of such provision, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts or
refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the
Certificateholder received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action
or inaction to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate
instruction within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as
reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it
may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not
inconsistent with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the
best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any Person for such
action or inaction.

     (d) The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation,

10

 

at the request, order or direction of the Certificateholder or any other Person, unless
such Certificateholder or such Person has offered to the Owner Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the
Owner Trustee (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel) therein or thereby, including such advances as the Owner Trustee shall reasonably
request.

     SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner
Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to,
register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Estate, or to otherwise take
or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to
which the Issuer or the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this
Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any
Transaction Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for
filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or Lien granted to it hereunder or to
prepare or file any Commission filing (including any filings required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act)
for the Issuer or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Deutsche Bank nevertheless
agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to
discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against,
Deutsche Bank that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate. The
Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for or with respect to the genuineness,
value, sufficiency or validity of the Trust Estate.

     SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee
shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust
Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and
(iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.3.

     SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is
inconsistent with the purposes of the Issuer set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee, would (i) affect the treatment of
the Notes as indebtedness for federal income, state and local income, franchise and value added tax
purposes, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for federal income or state
income or franchise tax purposes or (iii) cause the Issuer or any portion thereof to be treated as
an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income, state
and local income or franchise tax purposes. The Certificateholder shall not direct the Owner
Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

11

CONCERNING OWNER TRUSTEE

     SECTION 7.1. Acceptance of Trusts and Duties. The Owner Trustee accepts the trusts hereby
created and agrees to perform its duties hereunder with respect to such trusts but only upon the
terms of this Agreement. The Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all moneys actually received by
it constituting part of the Trust Estate upon the terms of the Transaction Documents and this
Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable or accountable hereunder or under any
Transaction Document under any circumstances notwithstanding anything herein or in the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, except (i) for its own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, (ii)
in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 7.3
expressly made by Deutsche Bank in its individual capacity, (iii) for liabilities arising from the
failure of Deutsche Bank to perform obligations expressly undertaken by it in the third sentence of
Section 6.4 or (iv) for taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees,
commissions or compensation received by the Owner Trustee. In particular, but not by way of
limitation of the foregoing:

     (i) The Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by any of its officers or employees unless it is proved that such
persons were negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

     (ii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Owner Trustee to expend
or risk its personal funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
exercise of its rights or powers hereunder;

     (iii) Under no circumstances shall the Owner Trustee be personally liable for
any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or indebtedness of the Issuer,
and

     (iv) The Owner Trustee shall not be personally responsible for or in respect of
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by any
Person other than the Owner Trustee.

     SECTION 7.2. Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the

the Seller for the benefit of the Certificateholder, that:

     (a) It is a banking corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and having an office within the State of Delaware.
It has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

12

 

     (b) It has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery
by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its
officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf.

Trustee, enforceable against the Owner Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, conservatorship,
receivership, liquidation and other similar laws affecting enforcement of the rights of
creditors of banks generally and to equitable limitations on the availability of specific
remedies.

     (d) Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of
the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware law, governmental
rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any
judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or
by-laws.

     SECTION 7.4. Reliance; Advice of Counsel. (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no personal
liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent,
order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine
and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a
certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate
party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the
same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of
which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on
a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or
other Authorized Officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate
shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

     (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of
its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the Owner
Trustee (i) may act directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements
entered into with any of them, but the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable for the
conduct or misconduct of such agents, custodians, nominees (including persons acting under a
power of attorney) or attorneys selected with reasonable care and (ii) may consult with
counsel, accountants and other skilled persons knowledgeable in the relevant area to be
selected with reasonable care and employed by it at the expense of the Issuer. The Owner
Trustee shall not be personally liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith
by it in accordance with the written opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or
other such persons.

     SECTION 7.5. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article
VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, Deutsche Bank acts solely as the Owner Trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons having any claim against the Owner

13

 

Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction
Document shall look only to the Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

     SECTION 7.6. The Owner Trustee May Own Notes. The Owner Trustee in its individual or any

Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates in banking
transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Owner Trustee, and the
Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may maintain
normal commercial banking relationships with the Owner Trustee and its Affiliates.

ARTICLE VIII

     SECTION 8.1. The Owner Trustee’s Compensation. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay to
Deutsche Bank pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement from time to
time compensation for all services rendered by Deutsche Bank under this Agreement pursuant to a fee
letter between the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Servicer,
pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the fee letter between the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee, shall reimburse Deutsche Bank upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by Deutsche Bank in accordance with any
provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
such agents, experts and counsel as Deutsche Bank may employ in connection with the exercise and
performance of its rights and its duties hereunder), except any such expense may be attributable to
its willful misconduct, negligence (other than an error in judgment) or bad faith. To the extent
not paid by the Servicer, such fees and reasonable expenses shall be paid in accordance with
Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of the Indenture,
as applicable.

     SECTION 8.2. Indemnification. The Seller shall cause the Servicer to indemnify Deutsche Bank
in its individual capacity and as trustee and its successors, assigns, directors, officers,
employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all loss,
liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any
kind and nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
Deutsche Bank in its individual capacity and as trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Trust Estate, the
administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of Deutsche Bank hereunder; provided,
however, that neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall be liable for or required to indemnify
Deutsche Bank from and against any of the foregoing expenses arising or resulting from (i) Deutsche
Bank’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation
or warranty contained in Section 7.3 expressly made by Deutsche Bank in its individual
capacity, (iii) liabilities arising from the failure of Deutsche Bank to perform obligations
expressly undertaken by it in the third sentence of Section 6.4 or (iv) taxes, fees or

accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

14

 

     SECTION 8.3. Payments to the Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Article VIII and the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed not to be a part of
the Trust Estate immediately after such payment.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

     SECTION 9.1. Termination of Trust Agreement. The Issuer shall wind up and dissolve and this
Agreement shall terminate (other than provisions hereof which by their terms survive termination)
upon the later of (a) the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all moneys or other property
or proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and Article V and (b) the discharge of the Indenture in accordance with
Article IV of the Indenture. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity
of the Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Issuer, nor (y)
entitle the Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take
any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the
Issuer or Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto.

     SECTION 9.2. Dissolution of the Issuer. Upon dissolution of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee
shall, at the direction of the Administrator, wind up the business and affairs of the Issuer as
required by Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of
the Indenture, and receipt of a certificate from the Indenture Trustee stating that all Noteholders
have been paid in full and that the Indenture Trustee is aware of no claims remaining against the
Issuer in respect of the Indenture and the Notes, the Owner Trustee, in the absence of actual
knowledge of any other claim against the Issuer and at the written direction of the
Certificateholder, shall be deemed to have made reasonable provision to pay all claims and
obligations (including conditional, contingent or unmatured obligations) for purposes of Section
3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute and shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by
filing a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Issuer shall terminate
and this Agreement (other than Article VIII) shall be of no further force or effect.

     SECTION 9.3. Limitations on Termination. Except as provided in Section 9.1, neither
the Seller nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Issuer.

ARTICLE X

SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL

OWNER TRUSTEES

     SECTION 10.1. Eligibility Requirements for the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all
times be a bank (i) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and (iii) subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
state authorities. If such bank shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such

15

 

corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. The Owner Trustee shall at all times be an institution
satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute. In case at any time
the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
10.2.

     SECTION 10.2. Resignation or Removal of the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Seller, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholder. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Seller and the Administrator, acting jointly, shall
promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee which satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth
in Section 10.1 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no
successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee; provided, however, that
such right to appoint or to petition for the appointment of any such successor shall in no event
relieve the resigning Owner Trustee from any obligations otherwise imposed on it under the
Transaction Documents until such successor has in fact assumed such appointment.

     If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Seller or
the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Seller
or the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Seller or the Administrator shall remove
the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Seller and the
Administrator, acting jointly, shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and shall pay all fees owed to the
outgoing Owner Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees
and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Seller shall provide (or shall cause to be
provided) notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating
Agencies.

     SECTION 10.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to
Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller, the Administrator and to
its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its

16

 

predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as the Owner
Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the
successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement;
and the Seller and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section
10.1.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Seller shall mail (or shall cause to be mailed) notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to
the Certificateholder, Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and each of the Rating Agencies. If the
Seller shall fail to mail (or cause to be mailed) such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to
be mailed at the expense of the Seller.

     SECTION 10.4. Merger or Consolidation of the Owner Trustee. Any corporation into which the
Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Owner Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, be the
successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible
pursuant to Section 10.1; and provided, further that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of
such merger or consolidation to the Seller, the Administrator and the Rating Agencies.

     SECTION 10.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Seller and the
Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate,
and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Issuer, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Seller and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Seller
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and
act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

17

 

     (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner
Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that
such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the
Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Issuer or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of the Owner Trustee;

     (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

     (iii) the Seller and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept
the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and copies thereof given
to the Seller and the Administrator.

     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the
extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. The Owner Trustee
shall have no obligation to determine whether a co-trustee or separate trustee is legally required
in any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may be located.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 11.1. Amendments.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Owner
Trustee without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer or any
other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:

18

 

     (i) the Seller delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the
effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interests of
the Noteholders;

     (ii) the Seller delivers an Officer’s Certificate of the Seller to the
Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders; or

     (iii) the Seller delivers to the Indenture Trustee written confirmation from
each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause it to downgrade, qualify or
withdraw its rating assigned to any of the Notes;

provided, that no amendment shall be effective which affects the rights, protections or duties of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee without the prior written consent of such Person;
provided, further, that such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect the rights or
obligations of the Swap Counterparty or the Issuer under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement unless
the Swap Counterparty shall have consented in writing to such amendment (and such consent shall be
deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does not object in writing within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of a written request for such consent).

     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Owner
Trustee, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer 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
(whether now or in the future), it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating
Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.

     (c) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Owner
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the
aggregate 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.
It will not be necessary to obtain the consent of the Noteholders to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other
consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization
of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as
the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to
the Note Depository Agreement.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Seller shall provide written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner Trustee;
and promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Seller shall furnish
a copy of such amendment or consent to each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee.

19

 

     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner 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 may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which
affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.

     SECTION 11.2. No Legal Title to Trust Estate in Certificateholder. The Certificateholder
shall not have legal title to any part of the Trust Estate. The Certificateholder shall be
entitled to receive distributions with respect to its undivided beneficial interest therein only in
accordance with Articles V and IX. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise,
of any right, title or interest of the Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the
Trust Estate shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any
transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Trust
Estate.

     SECTION 11.3. Limitations on Rights of Others. The provisions of this Agreement are solely
for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Seller, the Administrator, the Certificateholder and, to
the extent expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, and nothing in
this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim in the Trust Estate or under or in respect of this
Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein.

     SECTION 11.4. Notices. (a) Unless otherwise expressly specified or permitted by the terms
hereof, all notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed given by facsimile with receipt
acknowledged by the recipient thereof or upon receipt personally delivered, delivered by overnight
courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested, if to the Owner Trustee, addressed as
specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement; or, as to each party, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

     (b) Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Certificateholder shall be
given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of the Certificateholder as shall
be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Any notice so mailed
within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.

     SECTION 11.5. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 11.6. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

20

 

     SECTION 11.7. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Seller, the Owner Trustee and its successors and the
Certificateholder and its successors and permitted assigns, all as herein provided. Any request,
notice, direction, consent, waiver or other instrument or action by the Certificateholder shall
bind the successors and assigns of the Certificateholder.

     SECTION 11.8. No Petition.

     (a) Each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by
entering into this Agreement, the Seller, the Certificateholder, by accepting the
Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder or Note Owner by accepting the
benefits of this Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one
year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in
respect of all securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties (i) such party shall not
authorize any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary
case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to
such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an
administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with
respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property or to
consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such
official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote
Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of, its creditors generally, any
party hereto or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such party
shall not commence, join or institute against, with any other Person, any proceeding against
such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation
or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.

     (b) The Seller’s obligations under this Agreement 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, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as
the Owner Trustee), by entering into or accepting this agreement, each Certificateholder, by
accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by
accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person
has 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,
each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and the
Certificateholder 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 such Person
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

21

 

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 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. Each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by entering into or accepting this agreement, each
Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder
or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, hereby further acknowledges and
agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section and the terms of
this Section may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this
Section will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will
survive the termination of this Agreement.

     SECTION 11.9. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

     SECTION 11.10. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     SECTION 11.11. Limitation of Rights. All of the rights of the Swap Counterparty in, to and
under this Agreement, if any, shall terminate upon the termination of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and the payment in full of all amounts owing to the
Swap Counterparty.

     SECTION 11.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party
hereto irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.

     SECTION 11.13. Information Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any information
reasonably requested by the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates at the
expense of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, in order
to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule,
regulation, accounting rule or principle.

     SECTION 11.14. Form 10-D and Form 10-K Filings. So long as the Seller is filing Exchange Act
Reports with respect to the Issuer (i) no later than each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall
notify the Seller of any Form 10-D Disclosure Item with respect to the Owner Trustee, together with
a description of any such Form 10-D Disclosure Item in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
the Seller and (ii) no later than March 15 of each calendar

22

 

year, commencing March 15, 2008, the Owner Trustee shall notify the Seller in writing of any
affiliations or relationships between the Owner Trustee and any Item 1119 Party; provided, that no
such notification need by made if the affiliations or relationships are unchanged from those
provided in the notification in the prior calendar year.

     SECTION 11.15. Form 8-K Filings. So long as the Seller is filing Exchange Act Reports with
respect to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, but in no event later
than five (5) Business Days after its occurrence, of any Reportable Event of which a Responsible
Officer of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge (other than a Reportable Event described in
clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof as to which the Seller or the Servicer
has actual knowledge). The Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any such event
to the extent that it relates to the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any action by the
Owner Trustee under this Agreement.

     SECTION 11.16. Indemnification. (a) Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware shall indemnify the
Seller, each Affiliate of the Seller or each Person who controls any of such parties (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the respective
present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall
hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that
any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon:

     (i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information
provided in writing by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware to the Seller or its
affiliates under Sections 11.12 or 11.13 (such information, the
“Provided Information”), or (B) the omission to state in the Provided
Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information, or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that
clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the
related information and not to any other information communicated in connection with
a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Provided Information
or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information; or

     (ii) any failure by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware to deliver any
information, report, or other material when and as required under Sections
11.12 or 11.13.

          (b) In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this
Section, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware shall promptly reimburse the Seller for all costs
reasonably incurred in order to obtain the information, report or other material not delivered as
required by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Delaware be liable under this Section 11.16 for special, indirect or
consequential damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost

23

 

profits, even if Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

	NUMBER R-1
	 	100% BENEFICIAL INTEREST

VOLKSWAGEN AUTO LOAN ENHANCED TRUST 2007-1

CERTIFICATE

     Evidencing the 100% beneficial interest in all of the assets of the Issuer (as defined below),
which consist primarily of motor vehicle receivables, including motor vehicle retail installment
sales contracts and/or installment loans that are secured by new and used automobiles and
light-duty trucks.

     (This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of Volkswagen Auto
Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC, VW Credit, Inc. or any of their respective Affiliates, except
to the extent described below.)

     THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE
SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE RESOLD, ASSIGNED,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION
THEREFROM OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT THERETO.

     NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE ACQUIRED OR HELD (IN THE INITIAL
ACQUISITION OR THROUGH A TRANSFER) BY OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF (A) AN EMPLOYEE
BENEFIT PLAN (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS
AMENDED (“ERISA”)) WHETHER OR NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (B) A PLAN
DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED OR (C) ANY ENTITY WHOSE
UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN ASSETS BY REASON OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN’S OR A PLAN’S
INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY.

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT [                    ] is the registered owner of a 100% nonassessable, fully-paid
beneficial interest in the Trust Estate of VOLKSWAGEN AUTO LOAN ENHANCED TRUST 2007-1, a Delaware
statutory trust (the “Issuer”) formed by Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Seller”).

     The Issuer was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of December 13, 2006 (as amended
and restated as of February 13, 2007, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of

A-1

 

certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in
Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2007, among the
Seller, the Issuer, Citibank, N.A. as indenture trustee, and VW Credit, Inc., as servicer, as the
same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

     This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The provisions and conditions of the
Trust Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth in their entirety herein.

     The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive
distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders and
the Swap Counterparty as described in the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust
Agreement, as applicable.

     THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE,
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     By accepting this Certificate, the Certificateholder hereby covenants and agrees that prior to
the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy
Remote Party in respect of all securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties (i) such Person
shall not authorize such Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect
to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with respect to such Bankruptcy
Remote Party or any substantial part of its property or to consent to any such relief or to the
appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding
commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of
any party hereto or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such Person shall
not commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding against such Bankruptcy
Remote Party under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.

     By accepting and holding this Certificate (or any interest herein), the holder hereof shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not purchasing on
behalf of a Benefit Plan.

     It is the intention of the parties to the Trust Agreement that, solely for income, franchise
and value added tax purposes, (i) so long as there is a single Certificateholder, the Issuer will
be disregarded as an entity separate from such Certificateholder, and if there is more than one

A-2

 

Certificateholder, the Issuer will be treated as a partnership and (ii) the Notes will be
characterized as debt. By accepting this Certificate, the Certificateholder agrees to take no
action inconsistent with the foregoing intended tax treatment.

     By accepting this Certificate, the Certificateholder acknowledges that this Certificate
represents the entire beneficial interest in the Issuer only and does not represent interests in or
obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates and no recourse may be had against such parties or
their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated in this Certificate, the Trust
Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

A-3

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.
