(a) Pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Origination Trust Agreement, the
Initial Beneficiary hereby directs the UTI Trustee to identify and allocate or
cause to be identified and allocated on the books and records of the Origination
Trust a separate portfolio of SUBI Assets to be accounted for and held in trust
independently from all other Origination Trust Assets consisting of those Units

Schedule 1, the UTI Trustee hereby identifies and allocates as Transaction SUBI
Assets such portfolio of SUBI Assets to be held by the Origination Trust, as
agent and nominee (and solely for the benefit of) the holder of the Transaction
SUBI Certificate, each such SUBI Asset to be identified on the books and
accounts of the Origination Trust as belonging exclusively to the Transaction
SUBI Portfolio; provided that any Collections received on or prior to the

allocated as Transaction SUBI Assets and shall not belong to the Transaction
SUBI Portfolio.
(b) Also pursuant to Section 4.2(a) of the Origination Trust Agreement,
the UTI Trustee hereby creates a SUBI which shall be known as the "VW Credit

beneficial ownership interest solely in the Transaction SUBI Portfolio and those
proceeds or assets derived from or earned by such Transaction SUBI Portfolio.
(c) Pursuant to Section 4.2(d) of the Origination Trust Agreement (which
requires each holder of a SUBI to appoint for such SUBI a trustee), VCI has

SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Portfolio.
Section 11.2 Subsequent Removals From the Transaction SUBI Portfolio.
(a) Upon compliance by VCI with the provisions of Section 2.3(c) of the
SUBI Sale Agreement to repurchase the beneficial interest in any Transaction
Unit, such Unit shall be identified on a schedule to the Servicer Certificate
and reallocated from the Transaction SUBI to the Undivided Trust Interest on the
Payment Date that such reallocation payment is made. Upon the Payment Date of
any of the foregoing reallocations, the UTI Trustee and the SUBI Trustee
3
will each make (or cause to be made) a notation in their respective records
reflecting the reallocation of such Origination Trust Assets as of the time
thereof.
(b) Upon compliance by the Servicer with the provisions of Section 7.12
of the Transaction SUBI Servicing Supplement to purchase the beneficial interest
in any Transaction Unit subject to a Postmaturity Term Extension, such Unit will
be identified on a schedule to the Servicer Certificate and reallocated from the
Transaction SUBI to the Undivided Trust Interest (if the Servicer is VCI) or to
an Other SUBI designated by the Servicer (if the Servicer is not VCI) on the
Payment Date that such reallocation payment is made. Upon the Payment Date of
any of the foregoing reallocations, the SUBI Trustee and the UTI Trustee or
Other SUBI Trustee, as applicable, will each make (or cause to be made) a
notation in their respective records reflecting the reallocation of such
Origination Trust Assets as of the time thereof.
Section 11.3 Issuance and Form of Transaction SUBI Certificate.
(a) The Transaction SUBI shall be represented by a Transaction SUBI
Certificate which shall represent an exclusive 100% beneficial ownership
interest in the Transaction SUBI and the Transaction SUBI Portfolio, as further
set forth herein. The Transaction SUBI Certificate shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required by this Transaction SUBI
Supplement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification
and such legends and endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith
and with the Origination Trust Agreement, be directed by the Initial
Beneficiary. Any portion of the Transaction SUBI Certificate may be set forth on
the reverse thereof. The Transaction SUBI Certificate shall be printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, photocopied or otherwise produced or
may be produced in any other manner as may, consistently herewith and with the
Origination Trust Agreement, be determined by the Initial Beneficiary.
(b) As required by Section 4.2(b) of the Origination Trust Agreement,
the Transaction SUBI Certificate shall contain an express written release and
subordination of any claim by any holder thereof to any proceeds or assets of
any Origination Trustee and to all of the Origination Trust Assets other than
those from time to time included within the Transaction SUBI Portfolio.

purposes in a consistent manner therewith). Instead, each of such parties
agrees, and will consistently report, that for federal and state income tax
purposes the Origination Trust holds the Transaction SUBI Portfolio and each
asset therein as a mere agent of the Issuer. Each such party further agrees that
the Origination Trust is acting as holder of record title to the Transaction
SUBI Portfolio, including the Transaction Vehicles, solely for the benefit of,
and as agent and nominee of, the Issuer, and shall not hold itself out or act in
a manner inconsistent with it acting merely as agent and nominee.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT ______________________________________ is the

of VW Credit Leasing, Ltd., a Delaware statutory trust (the "Origination Trust")

capacity as settlor thereunder, and, together with any successor or assign, the

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
2002-A to Origination Trust Agreement dated as of November [ ], 2002 (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.
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 dated even date herewith and
designated as "VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Transaction Special Unit of Beneficial
Interest 2002-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 Certificates" and, together with the Undivided Trust Interest
Certificates, the "Certificates").
A-1
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 Trustee, 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 Trustee, 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, the Initial
Beneficiary, 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 Origination Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall
not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for
any purpose.
A-2
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Administrative Trustee and the SUBI Trustee on
behalf of the Origination Trust and not in their individual capacities have
caused this Transaction SUBI Certificate to be duly executed.
