FORM OF TRANSACTION SUBI CERTIFICATE
VW CREDIT LEASING, LTD.
TRANSACTION SPECIAL UNIT OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST 2009-A CERTIFICATE
evidencing an exclusive undivided 100% beneficial ownership interest in all Transaction SUBI
Assets (as defined below).
(This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, VW Credit, Inc. or
any of its affiliates (other than the Origination Trust (as defined below)).
Number Transaction SUBI-2009-A
THIS CERTIFIES THAT is the registered owner of a 100%
nonassessable, fully-paid, exclusive undivided interest in the Transaction SUBI Portfolio (such
interest, a “Transaction SUBI”) of VW Credit Leasing, Ltd., a Delaware statutory trust (the
“Origination Trust”) formed by VW Credit, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as settlor
(“VCI” or, in its capacity as settlor thereunder, and, together with any successor or
assign, the “Settlor”), Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware banking corporation, as
Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”), and U.S. Bank National Association (f/k/a U.S.
Bank Trust National Association), as administrative trustee (the “Administrative Trustee”)
and UTI trustee (the “UTI Trustee”). The Origination Trust was created pursuant to a Trust
Agreement dated as of June 2, 1999 (as modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, the
“Agreement”) among VCI as the Settlor and as the sole initial beneficiary (in such
capacity, and, together with any successor or permitted assign, the “Initial Beneficiary”),
the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, as supplemented for purposes
hereof by that certain Transaction SUBI Supplement 2009-A to Origination Trust Agreement dated as
of [ ], 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Transaction
SUBI Supplement”) among the Settlor, the Initial Beneficiary, the UTI Trustee, the
Administrative Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as the SUBI Trustee (the “SUBI
Trustee”; together with the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee and the Delaware Trustee,
the “Origination Trustees”). To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized
terms herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
This Certificate is the duly authorized certificate issued under the Agreement and the
Transaction SUBI Supplement and designated as “VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Transaction Special Unit of
Beneficial Interest 2009-A Certificate” (the “Transaction SUBI Certificate”). This
Transaction SUBI Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions
of the Agreement and the Transaction SUBI Supplement, to which Agreement the holder of this
Transaction SUBI Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is
bound. Also to be issued under the Agreement are various other series of Certificates, the first
designated as “VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Undivided Trust Interest Certificates” (the “Undivided
Trust Interest Certificates”), and the others each designated as “VW Credit Leasing, Ltd.
Special Unit of Beneficial Interest Certificates” (the “SUBI
Transaction SUBI Supplement 2009-A
A-1
Certificates” and, together with the Undivided Trust Interest Certificates, the
“Certificates”). The Undivided Trust Interest Certificates, taken together, evidence an
exclusive undivided interest in the assets of the Origination Trust, other than SUBI Assets (each
as defined in the Agreement); each other series of SUBI Certificates, taken together, will evidence
an exclusive undivided interest in a separate SUBI Portfolio other than the Transaction SUBI
Portfolio.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Settlor, any
Origination Trustee or any of their respective affiliates (other than the Origination Trust). A
copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the
Settlor or any Origination Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Settlor or
any Origination Trustee, by the holder hereof upon request.
By accepting this Certificate, the holder hereof releases (or fully subordinates, but only to
the extent such release is not given effect) any claim in respect of this Certificate to any
proceeds or assets of the Origination Trust and to all of the assets of the Origination Trust other
than those from time to time included within the Transaction SUBI Portfolio (the “Transaction
SUBI Assets”) and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by the Transaction SUBI
Assets.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of a permitted transfer, the
Origination Trustees, the certificate registrar and any of their respective agents may treat the
Person or entity in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose
of receiving distributions and for all other purposes, and, except as provided for in the
Agreement, neither the Origination Trustees, the certificate registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
The holder of this Certificate covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year
and one day after the date upon which all obligations under each Financing have been paid in full,
it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Origination
Trust, any Special Purpose Entity, or any general partner of any Special Purpose Entity that is a
partnership, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceeding or
other Proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
No bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation Proceeding or other
Proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law shall be instituted by
the Origination Trust without the unanimous consent of all Origination Trustees and
Certificateholders hereunder. A SUBI Trustee shall not so consent unless directed to do so by the
holder of the applicable SUBI, and the Delaware Trustee shall not so consent unless directed to do
so by all of the Certificateholders.
Unless this Certificate shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the
Administrative Trustee and the SUBI Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
