     AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 11, 2005 (as amended,
supplemented or modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) between VW CREDIT, INC., a
Delaware corporation (“VCI”), as seller, and VOLKSWAGEN DEALER FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“VDF”), as buyer.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, VCI and VDF entered into that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 10, 2000 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to
time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, VCI in the ordinary course of its business finances the purchase of floorplan
inventory by automotive and/or light duty truck dealers thereby generating certain payment
obligations under revolving credit account agreements established with such dealers;

     WHEREAS, VCI wishes to sell certain of such existing and future payment obligations generated
under such accounts from time to time to VDF;

     WHEREAS, VDF desires to sell such payment obligations to Volkswagen Credit Auto Master Owner
Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) pursuant to an amended and restated trust
sale and servicing agreement, dated as of August 11, 2005 (as the same may from time to time be
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement”),
among VDF, as transferor, VCI, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and the
Trust;

     WHEREAS, the Trust will pledge all such payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders; and

     WHEREAS, this Agreement amends and restates as of the date hereof in its entirety the Existing
Agreement, and upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing
Agreement shall be superseded hereby in their entirety.

     NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

     SECTION 1.1 Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have
the respective meanings assigned to them in Part I of Appendix A to the Trust Sale
and Servicing Agreement. All references herein to Articles, Sections and subsections are to
Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The rules of
construction set forth in Part II of Appendix A to the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

 

 

ARTICLE II

CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

     SECTION 2.1 Conveyance of Receivables. By execution of this Agreement, VCI does
hereby sell, transfer, assign, contribute, set over and otherwise convey, without recourse (except
as expressly provided herein), to VDF on the Initial Closing Date, in the case of the Initial
Accounts, and on the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, all of its
right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and all Collateral
Security with respect thereto owned by VCI at the close of business on the Initial Cut-Off Date
(including all interest thereon accruing after June 30, 2000, whether paid or payable), in the case
of the Initial Accounts, and on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional
Accounts, and all monies due or to become due thereon and all amounts received with respect thereto
and all proceeds of all of the foregoing (including “proceeds” as defined in Section 9-102 of the
UCC) and Recoveries thereof (all such assets conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, the “Conveyed
Assets”). Subject to Article VI, prior to the earlier of (x) the occurrence of an
Early Amortization Event specified in Section 5.17(a), (b), (c),
(d), (e) or (f) of the Indenture and (y) the Trust Termination Date, as of
each Business Day on which Receivables are created in the Accounts (a “Transfer Date”), VCI
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey (except as expressly provided
herein) to VDF, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each
Account (other than any Receivables created in any Removed Account from and after the applicable
Removal Date) and all Collateral Security with respect thereto owned by VCI at the close of
business on such Transfer Date and not theretofore conveyed to VDF, all monies due or to become due
and all amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds of all of the foregoing (including
“proceeds” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) and Recoveries thereof. The foregoing sale,
contribution, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance and any subsequent sales, transfers,
assignments, set-overs and conveyances do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the
creation or an assumption by VDF of any obligation of the Servicer, VCI, or any other Person in
connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or instrument relating
thereto, including any obligation to any Dealers.

     It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Conveyed Assets by
VCI be, and be construed as, sales and contributions of such Conveyed Assets by VCI to VDF, and not
a pledge by VCI to VDF to secure a debt or other obligations of VCI. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, any such Conveyed Assets are held to be
the property of VCI, then it is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that this
Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under the UCC and applicable law, and VCI hereby
grants to VDF a first priority, continuing lien and security interest in all right, title and
interest of VCI in, to and under the Conveyed Assets sold and contributed pursuant to this
Agreement, and all proceeds in respect thereof. VCI shall take such actions, as may be necessary
to ensure that if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest, such security interest
would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such for the term of this Agreement.

     In connection with such sales and contributions, VCI agrees to record and file, at its own
expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 or any other applicable form (and continuation
statements when applicable) naming VCI as “seller” or “debtor” and VDF as “buyer” or “secured

2

 

party” thereon with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created for the sale
of chattel paper, general intangibles, payment intangibles or accounts (as defined in Sections
9-102 of the UCC) meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such
jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale, contribution and assignment of the Conveyed
Assets to VDF, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of
such filing to VDF on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and
(if any additional filing is so necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional
Accounts. In addition, VCI shall cause to be timely filed in the appropriate filing office any
form UCC-1 financing statement and continuation statement necessary to perfect any sale or
contribution of Conveyed Assets to VDF. VDF shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such
financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other
filing under the UCC in connection with such sales. The parties hereto intend that the transfers
of Receivables effected by this Agreement be sales. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
or interpreted to provide recourse against VCI for the financial inability of a Dealer to make one
or more payments on a Receivable.

     In connection with such sales and contributions, VCI further agrees, at its own expense, on or
prior to the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, the applicable Addition Date,
in the case of Additional Accounts, and the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed
Accounts, (a) to indicate in its computer files that the Receivables created in connection with the
Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) have been sold, and the Collateral Security assigned, to VDF
pursuant to this Agreement and sold to the Trust pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement
for the benefit of the Residual Interestholder and pledged to the Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Beneficiaries and (b) to deliver to VDF
a computer file or microfiche or written list (which may be in electronic form) containing a true
and complete list of all such Accounts (other than Removed Accounts) specifying for each such
Account, as of the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, and the applicable
Additional Cut-Off Date, in the case of Additional Accounts (i) its account number and (ii) the
aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account. Such file or list, as supplemented from
time to time to reflect Additional Accounts and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule
1 to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. In
addition, in connection with such sales or contributions, VCI shall deliver to VDF all documents
constituting “instruments” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) with such endorsements attached
as VDF may reasonably require.

     The purchase price for the Receivables sold by VCI to VDF on each Addition Date and on each
Transfer Date shall be a price agreed to by VDF and VCI at the time of acquisition by VDF, which
price shall not, in the opinion of VDF, be materially less favorable to VDF than prices for
transactions of a generally similar character at the time of the acquisition taking into account
the quality of such Receivables and other pertinent factors; provided that such consideration shall
in any event not be less than reasonably equivalent value therefor. If and to the extent that VDF
shall not have funds available to pay VCI the purchase price for the Receivables transferred (such
difference is referred to herein as the “Excess Purchase Price”), (x) such Excess Purchase
Price shall automatically be considered to have been contributed to VDF by VCI as a capital
contribution or (y) at the option of VCI (as evidenced by notice to the VDF), to the extent VDF
would not be left with insufficient capital to meet, with a reasonable degree of

3

 

certainty, its reasonably foreseeable obligations as they come due, VDF may increase the
principal amount due and outstanding under the VDF Subordinated Note.

     By executing this Agreement, the parties hereto do not intend to cancel, release or in any way
impair the conveyances previously made under the Existing Agreement.

     SECTION 2.2 Representations and Warranties of VCI Relating to VCI and this Agreement.
VCI hereby represents and warrants to VDF as of each Closing Date and as of each Addition Date
that:

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

          (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
VCI of each Basic Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of VCI and (ii) do not contravene or constitute a default under (A) any
applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any 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 such agreements and
which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions
contemplated by, or VCI’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Basic Documents).

          (c) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of VCI, threatened against VCI before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert
the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, (ii) seek
to prevent the issuance of any Series of Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, (iii) seek any determination or
ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by VCI of its obligations under
this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, or (iv) relate to VCI that would materially and
adversely affect the federal or applicable state tax income, excise, franchise or similar tax
attributes of any Series of Notes.

          (d) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by
VCI of any Basic 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 Conveyed Assets
or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of VCI to perform its obligations under
the Basic Documents.

4

 

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

          (f) Record of Accounts. As of the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial
Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of the Additional Accounts, and, as of
the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, Schedule 1 to this Agreement
is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Initial
Cut-Off Date, the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date or the applicable Removal Date, as the case
may be, and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the
Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of the Initial
Cut-Off Date, such applicable Additional Cut-Off Date or such Removal Date, as the case may be.

          (g) Valid Transfer. This Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the
related Assignment constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to VDF of all right, title and
interest of VCI in the Receivables and the Collateral Security and the proceeds thereof. Upon the
filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.1 and, in the case of the
Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, VDF shall have a
first priority perfected ownership interest in such property. Except as otherwise provided in the
Basic Documents, neither VCI nor any Person claiming through or under VCI has any claim to or
interest in the Owner Trust Estate or the Trust Estate.

     The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.2 shall survive the
transfer and assignment of the Receivables to VDF. Upon discovery by VCI or VDF of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other party.

     In the event a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.2 results in the obligation of VDF to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section
2.3 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.1 of the Indenture, VCI
shall repurchase the Receivables and the Collateral Security and pay to VDF on the Business Day
preceding the date on which such redemption of Notes is to be made an amount of cash equal to the
amount VDF is required to deposit into the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section
2.3 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of VCI to purchase the
retransferred Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall constitute the sole remedy
against VCI respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this paragraph
available to VDF, the Trust and the Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders.)

     SECTION 2.3 Representations and Warranties of VCI Relating to the Receivables.

          (a) Representations and Warranties. VCI represents and warrants to VDF that:

5

 

          (i) Each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on the Initial Closing Date or, in
the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, has
been conveyed to VDF free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien held by VCI subject to
Article VII hereof).

          (ii) With respect to each Receivable and all Collateral Security existing on the Initial
Closing Date or, in the case of Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each
Transfer Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or
declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by VCI in
connection with the conveyance of such Receivable or Collateral Security to VDF have been duly
obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.

          (iii) On the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Initial Account is an Eligible Account or in the case
of an Additional Account, on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, each Account or Additional
Account is an Eligible Account.

          (iv) On the Initial Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and, in the case of the
Additional Accounts, on the applicable Addition Date, and on each Transfer Date, each Receivable
conveyed to VDF on such date is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Receivable is not an Eligible
Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed to VDF in accordance with Section 2.8.

          (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.3 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to VDF. Upon
discovery by VCI or VDF of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.3, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other party.

          (c) Repurchase. In the event any representation or warranty under Section
2.3(a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable
or Account and VDF in connection therewith, is required to purchase such Receivable or all
Receivables in such Account pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement, then within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by VDF) of the earlier to
occur of the discovery of any such event by VCI or VDF, or receipt by VCI or VDF of written notice
of any such event given by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any Agent or Enhancement
Providers, VCI shall repurchase such Receivable or Receivables which VDF is required to accept
reassignment pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement on the Determination Date on which
such reassignment is to occur.

     VCI shall purchase each such Receivable by making a payment to VDF in immediately available
funds on the Payment Date immediately following the Determination Date on which such reassignment
is to occur in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Receivable. Upon payment of the
Purchase Price, VDF shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to VCI, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the
right, title and interest of VDF in and to such Receivable, all Collateral Security and all monies
due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. VDF shall execute such
documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take

6

 

such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by VCI to effect the conveyance of such
Receivables pursuant to this Section. The obligation of VCI to repurchase any such Receivable
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to
VDF, the Trust, the Noteholders and the Residual Interestholder (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of
the Residual Interestholder or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders).

     (d) Perfection Representations. The representations, warranties and covenants set
forth on Schedule 2 hereto shall be a part of this Agreement for all purposes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the perfection
representations contained in Schedule 2 shall be continuing, and remain in full force and
effect until such time as all obligations under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and
performed. The parties to this Agreement: (i) shall not waive any of the perfection
representations contained in Schedule 2; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt
written notice of any breach of perfection representations contained in Schedule 2 and
(iii) shall not waive a breach of any of the perfection representations contained in Schedule
2.

     SECTION 2.4 Addition of Accounts.

          (a) VCI may from time to time offer to voluntarily designate additional Eligible Accounts to
be included as Accounts, subject to the conditions specified in paragraph (b)
below. If any such offer is accepted by VDF, Receivables and the related Collateral Security from
such Additional Accounts shall be sold to VDF effective on a date (the “Addition Date”)
specified in a written notice provided by VCI (or the Servicer on its behalf) to VDF and any
Enhancement Providers specifying the Additional Cut-Off Date and the Addition Date for such
Additional Accounts (the “Addition Notice”) on or before the fifth Business Day but not
more than the 30th day prior to the related Addition Date (the “Notice Date”).

          (b) VCI shall be permitted to convey to VDF the Receivables and all Collateral Security
related thereto in any Additional Accounts designated by VCI as such pursuant to Section
2.4(a) only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related
Addition Date; provided, however, conditions (i), (vi), (vii) and
(viii) below shall be inapplicable to Accounts designated by VDF as Automatic Additional
Accounts under Section 2.5(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement:

          (i) VCI shall provide VDF and any Enhancement Providers with a timely Addition Notice.

          (ii) Such Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible Accounts.

          (iii) VCI shall have delivered to VDF a duly executed written assignment (including an
acceptance by VDF) in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the “Assignment”) and
the computer file or microfiche or written list (which may be in electronic form) required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.

          (iv) VCI shall have delivered to VDF for deposit in the Collection Account all Collections
with respect to such Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off Date.

7

 

          (v) (A) No selection procedures believed by VCI to be adverse to the interests of VDF or the
Beneficiaries were used in selecting such Additional Accounts; (B) the list of Additional Accounts
delivered pursuant to clause (iii) above is true and correct in all material respects as of
the Additional Cut-Off Date and (C) as of each of the Notice Date and the Addition Date, neither
VCI, VDF nor the Servicer is insolvent nor will have been made insolvent by such transfer nor are
aware of any pending insolvency.

          (vi) After giving effect to the addition of such Additional Accounts, (a) the result of (i)
the Pool Balance minus the aggregate Invested Amount for all Series minus (ii) the
outstanding principal balance of the VDF Subordinated Note is greater than or equal to (b) 6.75% of
the Pool Balance.

          (vii) The addition of the Receivables arising in such Additional Accounts shall not result in
the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event.

          (viii) VCI shall have delivered to VDF and any Enhancement Providers a certificate of an
Executive Officer confirming the items set forth in paragraphs (ii) through (vii) above.

     With respect to Automatic Additional Accounts, VCI shall deliver to VDF and any Enhancement
Providers an Opinion of Counsel for the same time periods as the Transferor is required to deliver
under Section 2.5(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (c) VCI hereby represents and warrants as of the applicable Addition Date as to the matters
set forth in Section 2.4(b)(v) and (vii). The representations and warranties set
forth in Section 2.4(b)(v) shall survive the sale, contribution and assignment of the
respective Receivables and the related Collateral Security to VDF. Upon discovery by VCI or VDF of
a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering the breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other party and to any Enhancement Providers.

     SECTION 2.5 Covenants of VCI. VCI hereby covenants that:

          (a) No Liens. Except for the conveyances hereunder and under the other Basic
Documents, VCI will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on, any Receivable or any Collateral Security, whether
now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein other than a Note or the Residual
Interest (other than the Lien held by VCI subject to Article VII hereof) and VCI shall
defend the right, title and interest of VDF and the Trust in, to and under the Receivables and the
Collateral Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties
claiming through or under VCI.

          (b) Floorplan Financing Agreements and Guidelines. VCI shall comply with and perform
its servicing obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance with the
applicable Floorplan Financing Agreements relating to the Accounts and the applicable Floorplan
Financing Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform would not materially
and adversely affect the rights of VDF, the Trust, the Residual Interestholder, the Noteholders or
any Enhancement Providers. Subject to compliance with all Requirements of Law, VCI, in its
capacity of Servicer, may change the terms and provisions of the Floorplan

8

 

Financing Agreement or the Floorplan Financing Guidelines in any respect (including the
calculation of the amount or the timing of charge-offs and the rate of the finance charge assessed
thereon) only if such change would be permitted pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Trust
Sale and Servicing Agreement.

          (c) Account Allocations. In the event that VCI is unable for any reason to transfer
Receivables to VDF, then VCI agrees that it shall allocate, after the occurrence of such event,
payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest
principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance
with the terms of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto agree that
Non-Principal Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have
been conveyed to VDF and by VDF to the Trust shall continue to be a part of the Trust
notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to VDF and
Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with
Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

          (d) Delivery of Collections. In the event that VCI receives Collections, VCI agrees
to pay the Servicer or any Successor Servicer all payments received by VCI in respect of the
Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by VCI, but in no event later than two
Business Days after the receipt by VCI thereof.

          (e) Notice of Liens. VCI shall notify in writing VDF, the Trust and the Indenture
Trustee promptly after becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances
hereunder or under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture.

          (f) Compliance with Law. VCI hereby agrees to comply in all material respects with
all Requirements of Law applicable to VCI.

     SECTION 2.6 Removal of Accounts.

          (a) On each Determination Date on which Accounts, including all amounts then held by the Trust
or thereafter received by the Trust with respect to such Accounts, are removed from the Trust
pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, VDF shall be deemed to
have offered to VCI automatically and without notice to or action by or on behalf of VDF, the right
to remove Eligible Accounts from the operation of this Agreement in the manner prescribed in
Section 2.6(b).

          (b) To accept such offer and remove Accounts, including all amounts then held by the Trust or
thereafter received by the Trust with respect to such Accounts, VCI (or the Servicer on its behalf)
shall take the following actions and make the following determinations:

          (i) not less than five Business Days prior to the Removal Commencement Date, furnish to VDF,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any Enhancement Providers and the Rating Agencies a
written notice (the “Removal Notice”) specifying the Determination Date (which may be the
Determination Date on which such notice is given) on which removal of one or more Accounts (the
“Designated Accounts”) will commence (a “Removal Commencement Date”);

9

 

          (ii) determine on the Removal Commencement Date the aggregate principal balance of Receivables
in respect of each Designated Account (the “Designated Balance”);

          (iii) from and after such Removal Commencement Date, cease to transfer to VDF any and all
Receivables arising in such Designated Accounts;

          (iv) from and after the Removal Commencement Date, allocate all Principal Collections in
respect of each Designated Account, first to the oldest outstanding principal balance of the
Designated Account, until the Determination Date on which the Designated Balance in the Designated
Account is reduced to zero (the “Removal Date”);

          (v) on each Business Day from and after the Removal Commencement Date to and until the related
Removal Date, allocate (A) to the Trust (to be further allocated pursuant to the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement), Non-Principal Collections in respect of each Designated Account for
Receivables in all Designated Accounts transferred to the Trust and (B) to the Transferor the
remainder of the Non-Principal Collections in the Designated Accounts;

          (vi) represent and warrant that the removal of any Eligible Account on the Removal Date shall
not, in the reasonable belief of VCI, result in the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event for
any Series of Notes;

          (vii) represent and warrant that no selection procedures believed by VCI to be adverse to the
interests of the Residual Interestholder, the Noteholders or any Enhancement Providers were
utilized in selecting the Accounts to be removed;

          (viii) represent and warrant that the removal will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any outstanding Series or class of Notes; and

          (ix) on or before the related Removal Date, deliver to the Indenture Trustee and any
Enhancement Provider an Officer’s Certificate confirming the items set forth in clauses
(vi), (vii) and (viii) above.

          (c) Subject to Section 2.6(b), and upon the satisfaction of the conditions therein and
upon VCI’s consent to the proposed removal, on the Removal Date with respect to any such Designated
Accounts, such Designated Accounts shall be deemed removed by operation of this Agreement for all
purposes (a “Removed Account”). After the Removal Date and upon the written request of the
Servicer, VDF shall deliver to VCI a reassignment in substantially the form of Exhibit B
(the “Reassignment”) with respect to the Removed Accounts.

     SECTION 2.7 Removal of Receivables With Accounts. The Transferor may remove Accounts
from designation to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.8(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall require VCI to remove such Accounts from the operation
of this Agreement or to acquire the related Receivables from the Transferor; provided
however, that if VCI chooses to remove such Accounts from the operation of this Agreement
and to acquire the Receivables in such Accounts, after the Removal and Reassignment Date and upon
the request of VCI, VDF must deliver a Reassignment with respect to the Removed Accounts and the
related Receivables.

10

 

     SECTION 2.8 Sale of Ineligible Receivables. VCI shall sell to VDF on each Transfer
Date any and all Receivables arising in any Eligible Accounts that are Ineligible Receivables,
provided that on the Initial Cut-Off Date or, in the case of Receivables arising in Additional
Accounts, on the related Additional Cut-Off Date, and on the applicable Transfer Date, the Account
in which such Receivables arise is an Eligible Account.

Agreement, and VDF consents to VCI acting as the Servicer. VCI will have ultimate responsibility
for servicing, managing and making collections on the Receivables and will have the authority to
make any management decisions relating to such Receivables, to the extent such authority is granted
to the Servicer under the Basic Documents.

          (b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables in accordance with the

OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO SELLER

     SECTION 5.1 VCI Indemnification of VDF. VCI shall indemnify and hold harmless VDF,
from and against any loss, liability, expense, claim, damage or injury suffered or sustained by
reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of VCI
pursuant to this Agreement arising out of or based on the arrangement created by this Agreement and
the activities of VCI taken pursuant thereto, including any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual
or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that VCI shall not
indemnify VDF if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute fraud, gross
negligence or wilful misconduct by VDF; and provided further, that VCI shall not
indemnify VDF for any liabilities, cost or expense of VDF with respect to any Federal income taxes
or state and local income, franchise, single business taxes and/or value added taxes or any other
taxes imposed on or measured by income in whole or in part (or any interest or penalties with
respect

11

 

thereto) required to be paid by VDF in connection herewith to any taxing authority. Any
indemnification under this Section 5.1 shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

     SECTION 5.2 VCI Acknowledgment of Transfers to the Trust. By its execution of the
Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, VCI acknowledges that VDF shall, pursuant to the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement, transfer the Receivables purchased hereunder and the Collateral Security to
the Trust and assign its rights associated therewith under this Agreement to the Trust, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, and that the Trust shall in
turn further pledge, assign or transfer its rights in such property and this Agreement to the
Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION

     This Agreement will terminate immediately after the Trust terminates pursuant to the Trust
Agreement. In addition, VDF shall not purchase Receivables nor shall VCI designate Additional
Accounts if VCI shall become an involuntary party to (or be made the subject of) any proceeding
provided for by any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to VCI or relating to all or substantially all of its property
(an “Involuntary Case”) and such Involuntary Case shall have continued for a period of
twenty Business Days from and including the day of receipt by VCI at its principal corporate office
of notice of such Involuntary Case; provided that during such twenty Business Day period, VDF shall
suspend its purchase of Receivables and shall hold all Collections of Principal Receivables that
would have been available to purchase Receivables in the Collection Account and (a) if by the first
Business Day after such twenty Business Day period, neither VCI nor VDF has obtained an order from
the court having jurisdiction of such case or filing which order approves the continuation of the
sale of Receivables by VCI to VDF and which provides that VDF and any of its transferees (including
the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee) may conclusively rely on such order for the validity
and nonavoidance of such transfer (the “Order”), VDF shall hold such Collections in the
Collection Account until such time as they may be paid as elsewhere provided herein and shall not
purchase Receivables thereafter, or (b) if by such first Business Day, VCI or VDF has obtained such
Order, VCI may continue selling Receivables, and VDF may continue purchasing Receivables, pursuant
to the terms hereof, as modified by the immediately succeeding sentence. During the period after
the twenty Business Day period described above and before the end of the 90-day period described
below, the purchase price of the Receivables transferred during such period, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall be paid to VCI by VDF in cash not later than the
same Business Day of any sale of Receivables. During such period, Receivables will be considered
transferred to VDF only to the extent that the purchase price therefor has been paid in cash on the
same Business Day. If an Order is obtained but subsequently is reversed or rescinded or expires,
VCI shall immediately cease selling Receivables to VDF, and VDF shall immediately cease buying
Receivables. VCI shall give prompt written notice to each of VDF, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee immediately upon becoming a party to an Involuntary Case. If by the first
Business Day after the 90-day period after such involuntary filing, such Involuntary Case has not
been dismissed, VDF shall not purchase thereafter Receivables or designated Additional Accounts for
transfer to the Issuer.

ARTICLE VII

INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

     With respect to a Dealer which is the obligor under Receivables that have been or will be sold
to VDF hereunder, VCI may be or become a lender to such Dealer under an agreement or arrangement (a
“Nonfloorplan Agreement”) other than a Floorplan Financing Agreement pursuant to which VCI
has been granted a security interest in the same collateral (the “Common Collateral”) in
which the Floorplan Financing Agreement for such Dealer creates a security interest, which Common
Collateral may include the same Vehicle (the “Common Vehicle Collateral”) in which such
Floorplan Financing Agreement creates a security interest. The Common Collateral other than the
related Common Vehicle Collateral is referred to herein as the “Common Non-Vehicle
Collateral.” VCI agrees that with respect to each Receivable of each such Dealer (i) the
security interest in such Common Vehicle Collateral granted to VCI pursuant to any Nonfloorplan
Agreement is junior and subordinate to the security interest created by the related Floorplan
Financing Agreement, (ii) VCI has no legal right to realize upon such Common Vehicle Collateral or
exercise its rights under the Nonfloorplan Agreement in any manner that is materially adverse to
VDF, the Trust, the Residual Interestholder or the Noteholders in respect of the Common Vehicle
Collateral until all required payments in respect of such Receivable under the Floorplan Financing
Agreement have been paid, and (iii) in realizing upon such Common Vehicle Collateral, neither VDF
nor the Trust shall have any obligation to protect or preserve the rights of VCI in such Common
Vehicle Collateral. VDF agrees that with respect to each Receivable of each such Dealer (a) the
security interest in such Common Non-Vehicle Collateral created by the Floorplan Financing
Agreement and hereby assigned to VDF is junior and subordinate to the security interest therein
created by the Nonfloorplan Agreement, (b) VDF has no legal right to realize upon such Common
Non-Vehicle Collateral or exercise its rights under the Floorplan Financing Agreement in any manner
that is materially adverse to VCI until all required payments in respect of the obligation created
or secured by the Nonfloorplan Agreement have been made, and (c) in realizing on such Common
Non-Vehicle Collateral, VCI shall not be obligated to protect or preserve the rights of VDF or the
Trust in such Common Non-Vehicle Collateral. The Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the
Indenture shall provide that the Trust and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders is
subject to the preceding sentence. If VCI in any manner assigns or transfers any rights under, or
any obligation evidenced or secured by, a Nonfloorplan Agreement, VCI shall make such assignment or
transfer subject to the provisions of this Article VII and shall require such assignee or
transferee to acknowledge that it takes such assignment or transfer subject to the provisions of
this Article VII and to agree that it will require the same acknowledgment from any
subsequent assignee or transferee.

ARTICLE VIII

     SECTION 8.1 Amendment.

          (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the

Person; provided that (i) with respect to each Outstanding Series, either (A) any amendment that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders of such Outstanding Series shall

either party hereto delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Noteholders of such Outstanding Series, and (ii) any amendment that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Residual Interestholder, the Indenture
Trustee, any Enhancement Provider or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent of
the Persons whose interests are materially and adversely affected. The consent of the Residual
Interestholder, any Enhancement Provider, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection from such Person
within 10 Business Days after a written request for such consent shall have been given.

          (b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this Section for such
Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such
Person consents to the substance thereof.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any of the Noteholders of any
Outstanding Series or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate any provisions as may be
necessary or advisable in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under or with

VII hereof) relating thereto to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to
be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by
law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of VDF hereunder. VCI shall

8.2(a).

          (b) Within 30 days after VCI makes any change in its name, identity, corporate structure or
jurisdiction of organization which would make any financing statement or continuation statement
filed in accordance with Section 8.2(a) “seriously misleading” within the meaning of
Section 9-506(b) of the UCC, VCI shall give VDF and the Indenture Trustee notice

14

 

of any such change and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary
to continue the perfection of VDF’s security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

          (c) VCI will give VDF and the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of any change of
location of VCI for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC and shall file such financing statements
or amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of VDF’s security
interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. VCI will at all times maintain its
“location” within the United States of America.

          (d) VCI will deliver to VDF on each Addition Date on which any Additional Accounts are to be
included as the Accounts pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, an Opinion of Counsel as specified in

necessary in the case of Automatic Additional Accounts as contemplated in Section 2.5 of

VDF’s Limited Liability Company Agreement; provided, however, that any payment by
VDF made in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall be made only after payment in full of
any amounts that VCI is obligated to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement;
provided further that the Noteholders shall be entitled to the benefits of the
subordination of the Collections allocable to the Residual Interest to the extent provided in the
Series Supplement.

     SECTION 8.4 Nonpetition Covenant. With respect to each Bankruptcy Remote Party, each
party hereto agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of
all obligations under each Financing (i) no party hereto shall 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,

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) none of 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. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, prior to the date which is one year
and one day after the payment in full of all obligations under each Financing, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Bankruptcy Remote Party an
action in bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar

WITNESSETH:

dated as of August 11, 2005 (as amended or supplemented, the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”):

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, VCI wishes to designate Additional
Accounts to be included as Accounts and to convey the Receivables and Collateral Security of such
Additional Accounts, whether now existing or hereafter created, to VDF as part of the corpus of the
Trust (as each such term is defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement); and

     WHEREAS, VDF is willing to accept such designation and conveyance subject to the terms and
conditions hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, VCI and VDF hereby agree as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed

aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account. Such file or list shall, as of the date

     3. Conveyance of Receivables. VCI does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey, without recourse (except as expressly provided in the Receivables Purchase

agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any obligation to any Dealers.

     4. Acceptance by VDF. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in

charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or
as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good
faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long
as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to
which the Lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

4. VCI has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Receivables hereunder to VDF
required by the terms of the related Floorplan Financing Agreement to the extent that it
constitutes an instrument.

5. VCI has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Receivables

interest of the Receivables arising in the Accounts designated to VDF on the Closing Date and in
Additional Accounts and Automatic Additional Accounts, and if any additional filing is necessary,
within 10 days of the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Receivables arising in Additional
Accounts or Automatic Additional Accounts.

7. To the extent that the Receivables constitute an instrument or tangible chattel paper, all
original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to

venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be
construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (c) 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 others.

or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a

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 of any
Outstanding Series, 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 related Outstanding Notes, voting together as a single class (it being
understood that any repurchase of a Receivable by VCI pursuant to Section
2.2 of the Receivables Purchase 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.

	 	(e)	 	If an Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may,
subject to Section 23 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 23 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 23 hereof, pursuant to a management agreement between the Issuer and
such successor Administrator, containing substantially the same provisions as this
Agreement (including with respect to the compensation of such successor Administrator),
and the successor Administrator is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect such vesting and assumption. Further, in such
event, the Administrator shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the administration of the Issuer to the new
Administrator.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Issuer, subject to Section 23 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.
	 
	 	(g)	 	A copy of any notice delivered to the Issuer or the Administrator pursuant to
this Section 10 shall be provided to each Rating Agency by the party delivering such
notice.

               11. Action upon Termination, Resignation or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date
of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10, or the resignation or removal of
the Administrator pursuant to Section 10, the Administrator shall be entitled to be

paid all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the effective date of such
termination, resignation or removal. The Administrator shall forthwith upon such termination
pursuant to Section 10(a) deliver to the Issuer all property and documents of or relating
to the Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator. In the event of the resignation or
removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 10(b) or (c), respectively, the
Administrator shall cooperate with the Issuer and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the
Issuer in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Administrator.

               12. Notices. All demands, notices and communications upon or to the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee shall be delivered as specified in Appendix
B of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               13. Amendments.

	 	(a)	 	Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator
without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, any Enhancement Provider,
the Issuer or any other Person; provided that (i) with respect to each Outstanding
Series, either (A) any amendment that materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Noteholders of such Outstanding Series shall require the consent of Noteholders
evidencing not less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Notes of such Outstanding Series or (B) such amendment shall not, as evidenced by
an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, and the Issuer, materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Noteholders of such Outstanding Series and (ii) any amendment that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Residual Interestholder, the Indenture Trustee,
any Enhancement Provider or the Owner Trustee shall require the prior written consent
of the Persons whose interests are materially and adversely affected. The consent of
the Residual Interestholder, any Enhancement Provider or the Indenture Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given if the Servicer does not receive a written objection from
such Person within 10 Business Days after a written request for such consent shall have
been given.
	 
	 	(b)	 	It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Person pursuant to this
Section for such Person to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such Person consents to the substance thereof.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any term or provision of this
Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto without the consent of any of the
Noteholders of any Outstanding Series or any other Person to add, modify or eliminate
any provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to comply with or obtain more
favorable treatment under or with respect to any law or regulation or any accounting
rule or principle (whether now or in the future in

	 	 	 	effect); it being a condition to any such amendment that the Rating Agency Condition
shall have been satisfied.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Administrator
shall provide each Rating Agency with written notice of the substance of such
amendment. No later than 10 Business Days after the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement, the Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating
Agency, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, any Enhancement Provider and the Indenture
Trustee.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s or the
Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement.

               14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Administrator
unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Issuer and the Owner Trustee
and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition for each then outstanding series of
Notes in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the
assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound
hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the
parties hereto.

               15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION’S CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS, OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 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.

               16. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

               17. Separate Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties 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.

               18. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be 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 or of the Notes or the rights of the
Holders thereof.

hereof as if it were a party hereto.

     22. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

	(a)	 	 	          submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement, any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith or for

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

Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all waivers and
consents, rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under this Agreement.

               24. Nonpetition Covenant. With respect to the Transferor and the Issuer (each a
“Bankruptcy Remote Party”), each party hereto agrees that, prior to the date which is one
year and one day after payment in full of all obligations under each Financing (i) no party hereto
