     (i) Existence and Power. The Seller is a limited liability company duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has
all power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The

performance by the Seller of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been

organizational documents or (C) any agreement, contract, order or other instrument to which
it is a party or its property is subject and (iii) will not result in any Adverse Claim on

     (v) Ownership and Transfer of Transaction SUBI. Immediately preceding its sale of the
Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate to the Buyer, the Seller was the owner
of the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim, and after such sale of the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Certificate to
the Buyer, the Buyer shall at all times be entitled, with respect to the Transaction SUBI
and the Transaction SUBI Certificate, to all of the rights and benefits of a holder of a
SUBI and a SUBI Certificate under the Origination Trust Documents.

     (vi) Applicable Law. The Seller is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, the failure
to comply with which would have a material adverse effect.

     (vii) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or Proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller before or by any Governmental
Authority that (i) question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or adversely
affect the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or (ii) individually
or in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect. The Seller is not in default with
respect to any orders of any Governmental Authority, the default under which individually or
in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect.

a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended.

     The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.3(a) shall speak only
as of the date hereof and shall survive the sale of the Transaction SUBI hereunder.

     (b) Perfection Representations. The representations, warranties and covenants set
forth on Schedule I hereto shall be a part of this Agreement for all purposes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
perfection representations contained in Schedule I 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 I; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt

of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available
following such filing.

misleading” within the meaning of Section 9-506, 9-507 and 9-508 of the UCC, unless it shall have
given the Buyer at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have taken all
action prior to making such change (or shall have made arrangements to take such action
substantially simultaneously with such change, if it is not practicable to take such action in
advance) reasonably necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Buyer to amend all previously
filed financing statements or continuation statements described in Section 2.4(a).

     (c) Sales Tax. All sales, property, use, transfer or other similar taxes due and
payable upon the purchase of the Transaction SUBI and the beneficial interest in the Units included

within the United States of America.

     SECTION 2.5 Other Adverse Claims or Interests. Except for the conveyances and grants
of security interests pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Seller
shall not sell, pledge, assign or transfer the Transaction SUBI to any other Person, or grant,
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim on any interest therein, and the Seller
shall defend the right, title and interest of the Buyer in, to and under the Transaction SUBI
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller.

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 3.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest.

     (a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated
and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales and contributions rather than
pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all
purposes. The sale and contribution of the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate, the
Transaction SUBI Certificate and the Seller’s rights under the SUBI Sale Agreement shall be
reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale and contribution
of assets by the Seller. The sales and contributions by the Seller of the Transaction SUBI and the
Transaction SUBI Certificate and the beneficial interest

SUBI Transfer Agreement (2010-A)

5

 

in the Units allocated thereto hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or
representation or warranty (express or implied) by, the Seller, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against the Seller are intended
to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the
property sold, rather than to the collectibility of underlying indebtedness.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction
SUBI Certificate and the Seller’s rights under the SUBI Sale Agreement are held to be property of
the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the Seller’s rights under the SUBI Sale
Agreement, then it is intended that:

     (i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;

     (ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant
by the Seller to the Buyer of a security interest in all of its right (including the power
to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to the Transaction SUBI, the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the Seller’s rights under
the SUBI Sale Agreement, to secure the performance of the obligations of the Seller
hereunder;

     (iii) The possession by the Buyer or its agent of the Transaction SUBI Certificate
shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by the purchaser or a
Person designated by such purchaser, for purposes of perfecting the security interest
pursuant to the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; and

     (iv) Notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Buyer for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.

     SECTION 3.2 Specific Performance. Either party may enforce specific performance of
this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.3 Notices, Etc. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first class United States
mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by telecopier, and addressed in
each case as set forth in Schedule II to the Indenture or at such other address as shall be
designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt
or reported tender of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such
notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder.

     SECTION 3.4 Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW

SUBI Transfer Agreement (2010-A)

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

     SECTION 3.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 3.6 Amendment.

     (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller without the consent
of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Buyer or any other Person subject to satisfaction of
one of the following conditions: (i) the Seller or the Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not
materially and adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) the Rating Agency
Condition is satisfied with respect to such amendment. Without limiting the foregoing and subject
to clause (b) below, any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Seller
with the consent of Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Note Amount,
voting as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Buyer shall
require the prior written consent of the Persons whose interests are materially and adversely
affected. The consent of the Certificateholders or the Buyer 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) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including clause (c) below), no amendment
shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note, or delay the Final Scheduled
Payment Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note, or (ii) reduce the
percentage of the Outstanding Note Amount, the Holders of which are required to consent to any
matter without the consent of the Holders of at least the percentage of the Outstanding Note Amount
which were required to consent to such matter before giving effect to such amendment.

     (c) 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.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Seller 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 Seller shall furnish a copy of
such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee.

     (e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of

SUBI Transfer Agreement (2010-A)

7

 

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.

     SECTION 3.7 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, the Servicer, the
Seller or the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power or right hereunder (to the extent such
Person has any power or right hereunder) shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Buyer or the Seller in any
case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or
approval by either party under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such
waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this
Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted
hereunder.

     SECTION 3.8 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents contain a final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. There are no
unwritten agreements among the parties.

     SECTION 3.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid,
then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.10 Binding Effect; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Buyer and the Seller and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. The Seller may not assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the Buyer, except as provided in Section 3.11 or as otherwise
herein specifically provided. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing
obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and
effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree.

     SECTION 3.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, the Seller expressly
acknowledges and consents to the pledge of the Transaction SUBI Certificate and the Transaction
SUBI and the assignment of all rights and obligations of the Seller related thereto by the Buyer to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders. In addition,
the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the
Indenture Trustee will have the right to exercise all powers, privileges and claims of the Buyer
under this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.12 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and 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
Proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State of the United States.

     SECTION 3.14 Each SUBI Separate; Assignees of SUBI. Each party hereto acknowledges

SCHEDULE I

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the SUBI Transfer
Agreement, the Seller hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Buyer as follows on the
Closing Date:

1. The SUBI Transfer Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
applicable UCC) in the Transaction SUBI Certificate in favor of the Buyer, which security interest
is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Seller.

2. The Transaction SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated
security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

3. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Transaction SUBI Certificate free and
clear of any Adverse Claim, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes,
assessments or similar governmental 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 Adverse Claim attaches is not impaired during
the pendency of such proceeding.

4. The Seller has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Transaction SUBI
Certificate hereunder to the Buyer required by the terms of the Transaction SUBI Certificate to the
extent that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.

5. The Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Transaction SUBI
Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or
uncertificated security, to the transfer to the Buyer of its interest and rights in the Transaction
SUBI Certificate hereunder.

6. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the SUBI
Transfer Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office
in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the
Transaction SUBI Certificate from the Seller to the Buyer and the security interest in the
Transaction SUBI Certificate granted to the Buyer hereunder.

7. To the extent that the Transaction SUBI Certificate constitutes an instrument or tangible
chattel paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have
been delivered to the Buyer.

8. Other than the transfer of the Transaction SUBI Certificate from VCI to the Seller under the
SUBI Sale Agreement and from the Seller to the Buyer under the SUBI Transfer Agreement and the
security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, the Seller has not
pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Transaction

I-1

 

SUBI Certificate. The Seller has not authorized the filing of, nor is aware of, any financing
statements against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Transaction
SUBI Certificate other than any financing statement relating to any security interest granted
pursuant to the Transaction Documents or that has been terminated.

9. No instrument or tangible chattel paper that constitutes or evidences the Transaction SUBI
Certificate has any marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

     (c) to assign, Grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Trust Estate pursuant
to the Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholder any portion of
the Trust Estate released from the lien of, and remitted to the Issuer pursuant to, the

     (d) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which

terms of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Statutory Trust Act.

trustee of the Issuer effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties
set forth herein and under the Statutory Trust Act. The Transferor hereby appoints the Issuer

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

arise.

     (b) No Certificateholder (including the Transferor) 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 Transferor. The Transferor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustees that, as of the date hereof:

     (a) Organization and Power. The Transferor is a limited liability company duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and
has all power and authority required to carry on its business as it is now conducted. The
Transferor has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions

3

 

where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Transferor, taken as a
whole.

     (b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by
the Transferor of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly
authorized by all necessary limited liability company action and (ii) do not violate or

organizational instruments or (C) any agreement, contract, order or other instrument to
which it is a party or its property is subject and (iii) will not result in any Adverse
Claim on any Transaction Unit or Collection or give cause for the acceleration of any
indebtedness of the Transferor.

with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Transferor of any Transaction Document other than UCC filings and other
than approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings which have
previously been made.

     (d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Transferor is a party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor enforceable against
the Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or
other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

     (e) No Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or,
to the knowledge of the Transferor, threatened against the Transferor 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 Transferor, or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Transferor to carry on its business
substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Transferor,
or which would render invalid this Agreement or the Transaction Units or the obligations of
the Transferor contemplated herein, or which would materially impair the ability of the
Transferor 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.

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 Transferor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Issuer; and upon the issuance
of the Certificate, the Transferor will no longer be a beneficiary of the Issuer, except to the
extent that the Transferor is the Certificateholder.

     SECTION 3.2 Authentication of Certificate. Concurrently with the sale of the Transaction
SUBI Certificate to the Issuer pursuant to the SUBI Transfer Agreement, the Owner

4

 

Trustee shall
cause the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Issuer, authenticated and delivered to or
upon the written order of the Transferor, 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 Transferor. 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 Auto
Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, 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 Transferor.

     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, a register for
the registration and transfer of the Certificate.

     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 Owner Trustee and the Issuer receive an Opinion of Counsel (at no cost or expense to the
Owner Trustee) 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, (ii) the
Certificate (or any interest therein) may not be acquired by or for the account of or with the
assets of a Benefit Plan and (iii) the Certificate (or any interest therein) may not be acquired by
or for the account of (x) any person which is not a United States person under the Code or (y) any
person considered a partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes unless all of its
partners for such purposes are United States persons under the Code; provided that the condition
set forth in (i) above will not apply to a transfer of 100% of the Certificate or Certificates to
an Affiliate of the Depositor or its designated nominee if such Affiliate certifies in writing to
the Owner Trustee that it is a C Corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (within the
meaning of Section 1361(a)(2) of the Code). By accepting and holding the 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. By accepting and holding the Certificate (or any interest therein) the Holder shall
be deemed to have represented and warranted that clause (iv) of the first sentence hereof
above is satisfied. 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

5

 

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 the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Issuer evidenced by
such Certificate.

     (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. 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
Certificateholder if, after such transfer (or purported transfer), the Issuer would have
more than 95 Certificateholders. For purposes of determining whether the Issuer will have
more than 95 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 Transferor 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.

     (f) With respect to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 3.5, the Owner
Trustee is entitled to receive and may conclusively rely on certifications from the
Transferor or a Certificateholder stating that the restrictions set forth in paragraphs (d)
and (e) would not be applicable in connection with any transfer.

     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 any 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

6

 

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

     SECTION 4.4 Restrictions on Certificateholder’s Power. The Certificateholder shall not
direct the Trustees to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be
contrary to any obligation of the Issuer or such Trustee under this Agreement or any of the
Transaction Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3, nor shall such 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
Certificateholders 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.

     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 is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Transferor

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 Transferor 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, and the Owner
Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for any action or inaction taken pursuant to such
direction.

     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 Certificateholder,
subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, and in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 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 Transaction Units or the Transaction SUBI or to maintain, monitor or otherwise
supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Transaction Units or the Transaction
SUBI. 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 VCI, the Servicer, the
Transferor, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee.

9

 

     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) 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 and a copy of such opinion has been provided to the Transferor and the
Administrator.

     (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.

     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

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 Adverse Claim granted to it
hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing for the Issuer or to record this Agreement or
any Transaction Document. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Owner Trustee has duties
(including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Issuer or the
Certificateholders, it is hereby understood and agreed by the other parties hereto that all such
duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and liabilities of the Owner Trustee expressly
set

10

 

forth in this Agreement and the Statutory Trust Act. Each Trustee nevertheless agrees that it
will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any
Adverse Claims on any part of the Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, such
Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Estate.

     SECTION 6.5 No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee

(iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.3.

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. None of the Certificateholder, Transferor or
Administrator shall direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of
this Section.

     SECTION 6.7 Rights and Protections of the Issuer Delaware Trustee. The Issuer Delaware
Trustee shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections, indemnities and immunities under
this Agreement and with respect to the Issuer as the Owner Trustee. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement which adversely affects the Issuer Delaware Trustee shall be effective
against it without its prior written consent.

     SECTION 6.8 Duties of the Issuer Delaware Trustee. Not withstanding any other provision of
the Agreement or any other document, the duties of the Issuer Delaware Trustee shall be limited to
(i) accepting legal process served on the Issuer in the State of Delaware and (ii) the execution of
any certificates required to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State which the Issuer
Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of the Act. To the extent that, at law
or in equity, the Issuer Delaware Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
relating thereto to the Issuer or the Certificateholders, it is hereby understood and agreed by the
other parties hereto that all such duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and
liabilities of the Issuer Delaware Trustee expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Statutory
Trust Act. The Issuer Delaware Trustee shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the
Owner Trustee.

The Administrator, pursuant to the Administration Agreement and the fee letter between the

upon the later of (a) the final distribution by the Issuer of all moneys or other property or
proceeds of the Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Origination Trust
Documents 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

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 Act. 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 Administrator, in the absence of actual
knowledge of any other claim against the Issuer, 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 Act and upon the written direction of the

if, either before or after giving effect to any payment of principal required to be made on

15

 

such Payment Date, the Outstanding Note Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Initial
Note Balance. The purchase price for the Transaction SUBI Certificate shall equal the greater of
(a) the Note Balance, together with accrued interest thereon up to but not including the Redemption

and in each case in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date for the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE X

SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL

TRUSTEES

     SECTION 10.1 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustees. The Owner Trustee shall at all times
be a bank (i) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii) that has, or has a direct or
indirect parent that has, 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 corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. The Issuer Delaware Trustee shall at all times be an
institution satisfying the provisions of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Act. In case at any
time either Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the such Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in

     SECTION 10.2 Resignation or Removal of the Either Trustee. Each Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the
Transferor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholder. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Transferor 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 Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor 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 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 a 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 Transferor or
the Administrator, or if at any time such Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the

16

 

purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Transferor or the
Administrator may remove such Trustee. If the Transferor or the Administrator shall remove a
Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Transferor and the
Administrator, acting jointly, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor Trustee and shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Trustee.

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

     SECTION 10.3 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section
10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Transferor, the Administrator and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as
if originally named as the Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and
expenses deliver to the successor Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under
this Agreement; and the Transferor and the predecessor 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 Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

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

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

     SECTION 10.4 Merger or Consolidation of a Trustee. Any corporation into which a 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 such Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the such 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 such Trustee
hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1; and
provided further that such Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the
Transferor and the Administrator.

17

 

     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 Transferor 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 Transferor and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Transferor 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:

          (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 Transferor 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 Transferor and the Administrator.

18

 

     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.

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 11.1 Supplements and Amendments. (a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be
amended by the Transferor, without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the
Administrator, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer Delaware Trustee or any other Person
subject to satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (i) the Transferor or the Servicer
delivers an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner
Trustee and the Issuer Delaware Trustee to the effect that such amendment will not materially and
adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied
with respect to such amendment. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (b)
below, any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Transferor with the consent of

class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Administrator, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or
the Issuer Delaware Trustee shall require the prior written consent of the Persons whose interests
are materially and adversely affected. The consent of the Administrator or the Certificateholders
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) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including clause (c) below), no
amendment shall (i) reduce the interest rate or principal amount of any Note, or delay the
Final Scheduled Payment Date of any Note without the consent of the Holder of such Note, or
(ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Note Amount, the Holders of which are required
to consent to any matter without the consent of the Holders of at least the percentage of
the Outstanding Note Amount which were required to consent to such matter before giving
effect to such amendment.

     (c) 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.

     (d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Transferor 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 Transferor
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Origination Trustees, the
Owner Trustee, the Issuer Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

19

 

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

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.

for the benefit of the Owner Trustee, the Issuer Delaware Trustee, the Transferor, the
Administrator, the Certificateholder and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Indenture

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.

20

     The Issuer was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of September 30, 2010, as
amended and restated as of [________], 2010 (as further amended, modified or supplemented from time
to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Transferor, Citibank, N.A., as owner trustee

or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

     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 as
described in the Indenture 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.

deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan and is not purchasing on

Trust Agreement (VALT 2010-A)

A-2

 

     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
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 Transferor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer
Delaware 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.
