Ladies and Gentlemen:

SECTION 1. Introductory. Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC (the “Depositor” or the “Seller”) proposes to transfer $288,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.19000% Auto Loan Asset Backed Class A-1 Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), $418,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.42% Auto Loan Asset Backed Class A-2 Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), $418,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.91% Auto Loan Asset Backed Class A-3 Notes (the “Class A-3 Notes”), and $126,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.45% Auto Loan Asset Backed Class A-4 Notes (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Notes”) to the underwriters set forth on Schedule I (each, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”), acting severally and not jointly, for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 30, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), between Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2014-1 (the “Issuer”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”). The assets of the Issuer include, among other things, motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and/or installment loans secured by a combination of new and used automobiles, minivans and sport utility vehicles (the “Receivables”) and certain related rights. The Receivables will be sold to the Issuer by the Seller and will be serviced for the Issuer by VW Credit, Inc. (“VW Credit”), as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Underwriters, the Seller and VW Credit hereby agree that the “Closing Date” shall be April 30 2014, 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representative and the Seller).

The Seller has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (having the registration number 333-185282), including a form of prospectus, relating to the Notes. The registration statement as amended has been declared effective by the Commission not more than three years prior to the Closing Date or, the Seller has prepared and filed (before the expiration of such three year period) with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and such new registration statement includes unsold securities covered by the earlier registration statement, which such unsold securities may continue to be offered and sold until the earlier of the effective date of the new registration statement or 180 days after the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the prior registration statement, as permitted pursuant to paragraph (a)(5) of Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If any post-effective amendment has been filed with respect thereto, prior to the execution and delivery of this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”), the most recent such amendment is effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462 of the Securities Act or has been declared effective by the Commission. Such registration statement, as amended at the time of effectiveness, including all material incorporated by reference therein and including all information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” The Seller proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”) a supplement dated April 23, 2014 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the prospectus dated April 16, 2014 (the “Base Prospectus”) relating to the Notes and the method of distribution thereof. The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together with any amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) prior to the Closing Date, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.”

At or prior to 3:33 p.m. (Eastern Time) (U.S.) on April 23, 2014 (i.e., the date and time the first Contract of Sale (as defined below) for the Notes (the “Time of Sale”) was entered into as designated by the Representative), the Seller had prepared (i) a preliminary prospectus, dated April 16, 2014 (the “Preliminary Base Prospectus”) and a supplement to that Preliminary Base Prospectus, dated April 16, 2014 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), (ii) a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated April 23, 2014 (the “Red Supplement”) and (iii) the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below).

As used herein, the following terms have the meanings below:

“Preliminary Prospectus” means the Preliminary Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, together with the Red Supplement and any other amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) prior to the Time of Sale.

“Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” means the free writing prospectus dated April 16, 2014, and filed with the Commission on April 21, 2014 pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”).

“Time of Sale Information” means, collectively, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus.

Pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the terms hereof, the Seller agrees to sell to the Underwriters, the respective principal amount of each class of Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. The Seller represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Underwriters that:

(a) (i) The Seller has prepared and filed the Registration Statement with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, including a form of prospectus, relating to the Notes. The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective as of the date hereof. The conditions to the use of a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-3, and the conditions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, have been satisfied with respect to the Registration Statement. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

(ii) The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, the Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied and on the Closing Date will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

The Registration Statement, as of the most recent effective date as to each part of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, and the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale and as of the Closing Date, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the omission of pricing and price-dependent information, which information shall of necessity appear only in the Prospectus).

The Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and as of the Closing Date, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties in the four preceding paragraphs do not apply to that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statements of Eligibility of Qualification (Form T-1) of the Indenture Trustee or other indenture trustees under the Trust Indenture Act or Underwriter Information (as defined in Section 9(b) hereof).

(iii) Other than the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and except as provided in Section 11, the Issuer (including its agents and representatives other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication”, including any “free writing prospectus” (both as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy the Notes.

(b) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than documents filed by Persons other than the Seller), when they became or become effective under the Securities Act or were or are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(c) As of the Closing Date and as of the date hereof, the Seller’s representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents will be and are true and correct.

(d) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller and VW Credit.

(e) Neither the Seller nor VW Credit nor anyone acting on their behalf has taken any action that would require registration of the Seller or the Issuer under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”); nor will the Seller or VW Credit act, nor has either of them authorized nor will either of them authorize any person to act, in such manner. The Issuer does not rely on Section 3(c)(1) and/or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act for its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act.

(f) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

(g) Since December 31, 2013, there has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business or operations of the Seller, VW Credit or Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“VWA”), and their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as disclosed to you in writing prior to the date hereof.

(h) The Seller acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Notes: (1) the Underwriters have acted at arms’ length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Seller or any other Person, (2) the Underwriters owe the Seller only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (3) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Seller. The Seller waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offer of the Notes.

(i) The Seller was not, on the date on which the first bona fide offer of the Notes sold pursuant to this Agreement was made, an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(j) VW Credit has provided a written representation (the “17g-5 Representation”) to each nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in the Exchange Act) hired by VW Credit to rate the Notes (collectively, the “Hired NRSROs”), which satisfies the requirements of paragraph (a)(3)(iii) of Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 17g-5”) and a copy of which has been delivered to each Underwriter. VW Credit has complied, and has caused the Seller to comply, with the 17g-5 Representation, other than any breach of the 17g-5 Representation (A) that would not have a material adverse effect on the Notes or (B) arising from a breach by any of the Underwriters of the representation, warranty and covenant set forth in Section 4(j).

(k) The Seller has complied with Rule 193 under the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Notes.

SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Notes. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Seller agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Seller the respective principal amount of each class of Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I at a purchase price equal to the following percentages of the aggregate principal amounts thereof: (i) in the case of the Class A-1 Notes, 99.90000%, (ii) in the case of the Class A-2 Notes, 99.83822%, (iii) in the case of the Class A-3 Notes, 99.76030% and (iv) in the case of the Class A-4 Notes, 99.74410%.

The interests of beneficial owners of the Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive Notes representing the Notes will be available only under limited circumstances.

SECTION 4. Offering by Underwriters.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 7 and subject to Section 8, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase the Notes for resale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. If the Prospectus specifies an initial public offering price or a method by which the price at which such Notes are to be sold, then after the Notes are released for sale to the public, the Underwriters may vary from time to time the public offering price, selling concessions and reallowances to dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and other terms of sale hereunder and under such selling arrangements.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees that it has not and will not offer or sell any Notes within the United States, its territories or possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein, except in transactions that are not prohibited by any securities, bank regulatory or other applicable law that applies to such Underwriter or an offer of the Notes.

(i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer;

(ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and

(e) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees that (i) if the Prospectus is not delivered with a confirmation in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, it will include in every confirmation sent out by such Underwriter the notice required by Rule 173 under the Securities Act informing the investor that the sale was made pursuant to the Registration Statement and that the investor may request a copy of the Prospectus from such Underwriter; (ii) if a paper copy of the Prospectus is requested by a person who receives a confirmation, such Underwriter shall deliver a printed or paper copy of such Prospectus; and (iii) if an electronic copy of the Prospectus is delivered by an Underwriter for any purpose, such copy shall be the same electronic file containing the Prospectus in the identical form transmitted electronically to such Underwriter by or on behalf of the Seller specifically for use by such Underwriter pursuant

to this Section 4(e); for example, if the Prospectus is delivered to an Underwriter by or on behalf of the Seller in a single electronic file in .pdf format, then such Underwriter will deliver the electronic copy of the Prospectus in the same single electronic file in .pdf format. Each Underwriter further agrees that if it delivers to an investor the Prospectus in .pdf format, upon such Underwriter’s receipt of a request from the investor within the period for which delivery of the Prospectus is required, such Underwriter will promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the investor, without charge, a paper copy of the Prospectus.

(f) [Reserved.]

(g) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and agrees (i) that it did not enter into any Contract of Sale for any Notes prior to the Time of Sale and (ii) that it will, at any time that such Underwriter is acting as an “underwriter” (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) with respect to the Notes, deliver to each investor to whom Notes are sold by it during the period prior to the filing of the Prospectus (as notified to the Underwriters by the Seller), prior to the applicable time of any such Contract of Sale with respect to such investor, the Preliminary Prospectus.

(h) In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents and agrees with the Seller that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State other than to any legal entity which is a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Directive; provided that no such offer of Notes shall require the Issuer or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this Section 4(h), (A) the expression an “offer of Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, (B) the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU and (C) the countries comprising the “European Economic Area” are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

information conveyed at the time of the “contract of sale” within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act and all Commission guidance relating to such rule (the “Contract of Sale”)) made or prepared by the Seller or such Underwriter contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time that a Contract of Sale was entered into, either the Seller or such Underwriter may prepare corrective information, with notice to the other party and such Underwriter shall deliver such information in a manner reasonably acceptable to both parties, to any person with whom a Contract of Sale was entered into based on such written communication or oral statement, and such information shall provide any such person with the following:

(i) adequate disclosure of the contractual arrangement;

(ii) adequate disclosure of the person’s rights under the existing Contract of Sale at the time termination is sought;

(iii) adequate disclosure of the new information that is necessary to correct the misstatements or omissions in the information given at the time of the original Contract of Sale; and

(iv) a meaningful ability to elect to terminate or not terminate the prior Contract of Sale and to elect to enter into or not enter into a new Contract of Sale.

If new Contracts of Sale are entered into in accordance with this Section 4(i), then notwithstanding the definition of Time of Sale set forth in Section 1, “Time of Sale” shall refer to the first time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into. Any costs or losses incurred in connection with any such termination or reformation shall be subject to Section 9.

(j) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, represents and agrees that, (a) it has not delivered, and will not deliver, any Rating Information (as defined below) to a Hired NRSRO or other nationally recognized statistical rating organization and (b) it has not participated, and will not participate, in any oral communication regarding Rating Information with any Hired NRSRO or other nationally recognized statistical rating organization unless a designated representative from VW Credit participates in such communication or a designated representative of VW Credit has directed the applicable Underwriter to orally communicate with such Hired NRSRO (but only with respect to the specific matters such designated representative of VW Credit has directed such Underwriter to orally communicate); provided, however, that if an Underwriter receives an oral communication from a Hired NRSRO, such Underwriter is authorized to inform such Hired NRSRO that it will respond to the oral communication with a designated representative from VW Credit or refer such Hired NRSRO to VW Credit, who will respond to the oral communication. For purposes of this paragraph, “Rating Information” means any information provided to a Hired NRSRO for the purpose of (a) determining the initial credit rating for the Notes, including information about the characteristics of the receivables and the legal structure of the Notes, and (b) undertaking credit rating surveillance on the Notes, including information about the characteristics and performance of the receivables.

SECTION 5. Covenants of the Seller. The Seller (and, with respect to clauses (i), (j), (k) and (l), VW Credit) covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

(a) If not already effective, the Seller will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, and any amendment thereto, to become effective. If the Registration Statement has become or becomes effective pursuant to Rule 430A, or filing of the Prospectus or the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b) or Rule 433, as applicable, the Seller will file any such document, properly completed, and any supplement thereto, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable Rules and Regulations within the time period prescribed. The Seller will advise you promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 433, as applicable, or deemed effectiveness pursuant to Rule 462.

(b) The Seller will advise you promptly of: (i) any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement as filed, or the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and will not effect such amendment or supplement without first furnishing to you a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and obtaining your consent, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any amendment or supplement thereto or to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, (iv) the issuance by the Commission or, if the Seller has knowledge thereof, by any authority administering any state securities or blue sky laws of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and the Seller will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting of any issued stop order and (v) the receipt of any comments or any other written notice from the Commission (following the date of this Agreement) with respect to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any information incorporated by reference therein.

(c) If, during the period in which the Prospectus is required by federal securities law or regulation (in the opinion of counsel for the Representative) to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Seller (in compliance with subsection (b)) promptly will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, with the Commission an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Any such filing shall not operate as a waiver or limitation of any rights of the Underwriters hereunder.

(d) The Seller will make (or will cause the Issuer to make) generally available to the Noteholders (the sole Noteholders being the applicable clearing agency in the case of Book-Entry Notes), in each case as soon as practicable, a statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including Rule 158 under the Securities Act) with respect to the Notes; provided that this covenant may be satisfied by posting the monthly Servicer’s Certificates for the Issuer on a publicly available website or filing such Servicer’s Certificates with the Commission on a Form 10-D.

(e) The Seller will deliver to the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus (and each other preliminary prospectus, if more than one has been prepared by the Seller), the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities and to such recipients as any Underwriter shall reasonably request.

(f) The Seller will arrange to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as you reasonably shall request, and will maintain all such qualifications for so long as required for the distribution of the Notes and, thereafter, to the extent required by such jurisdictions. VW Credit will promptly advise the Underwriters of the receipt by VW Credit of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(g) From the date hereof until the retirement of the Notes, or until none of the Underwriters maintains a secondary market in the Notes, whichever occurs first, the Seller will deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative, the annual statement of compliance and any annual independent certified public accountants’ report furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as soon as such statements and reports are furnished to the Indenture Trustee.

(h) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Seller will deliver to each of the Underwriters, through the Representative: (i) as soon as available, all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, or any order of the Commission thereunder, (ii) all documents distributed to Noteholders and (iii) from time to time, any information concerning the Seller or the Issuer filed with any governmental or regulatory authority that is publicly available, as the Underwriters reasonably may request.

(i) On or before the Closing Date, VW Credit shall cause its computer records relating to the Receivables to be marked to show the Issuer’s ownership of the Receivables, and from and after the Closing Date neither the Seller nor VW Credit shall take any action inconsistent with the Issuer’s ownership of the Receivables other than as permitted by the Transaction Documents.

(j) To the extent, if any, that any of the ratings assigned to the Notes by any of the Hired NRSROs are conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other actions by the Seller or VW Credit, as the case may be, the relevant party shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, such documents and take any such other actions as promptly as possible.

(k) From the date hereof until seven days after the Closing Date, none of the Seller, VW Credit or any trust, including the Issuer, originated, directly or indirectly, by the Seller or VW Credit will offer to sell or sell anywhere any securities similar to the Notes that are collateralized by (directly or indirectly), or evidence an ownership interest in, motor vehicle retail installment loans or retail installment sales contracts without the prior written consent of each of the Underwriters.

(l) VW Credit will comply, and will cause the Seller to comply, with the 17g-5 Representation.

(m) The Seller will comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations thereunder so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Notes as contemplated in this Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

SECTION 6. Payment of Expenses. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller and the Representative, the Seller will pay all expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incident to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including: (a) the printing and filing of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, each other preliminary prospectus or “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and delivery of copies thereof to the Underwriters, (b) the preparation of this Agreement, (c) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes to the Underwriters (or any appointed clearing organizations), (d) the fees and disbursements of VW Credit’s and the Seller’s counsel and accountants, (e) the qualification of the Notes under state securities laws in accordance with Section 5(f), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any blue sky survey (including the printing and delivery thereof to the Underwriters), (f) any fees charged by the Hired NRSROs for the rating (or consideration of the rating) of the Notes, (g) the fees and expenses incurred with respect to any filing with, and review by, FINRA, DTC or any similar organizations, (h) the fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel, if any, (i) the fees and disbursements of Citibank, N.A., acting in its capacity as owner trustee (in such capacity, the “Owner Trustee”) and Citicorp Trust Delaware, National Association, acting in its capacity as issuer Delaware trustee (in such capacity, the “Issuer Delaware Trustee”) under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller, the Issuer Delaware Trustee and the Owner Trustee, and its counsel and (j) the costs and expenses (including any damages or other amounts payable in connection with legal and contractual liability) associated with reforming any Contracts for Sale of the Notes made by the Underwriters caused by a breach of any representation in Section 2; provided, that the Representative and the Underwriters each agree to pay the legal fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and agree that neither the Seller nor VW Credit are responsible for such legal fees and disbursements.

SECTION 7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters.

SECTION 9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Seller and VW Credit will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the respective officers, directors and employees of such person from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or regulation, whether statutory, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information (it being understood that such indemnification with respect to the Time of Sale Information does not include the omission of pricing and price-dependent information, which information shall of necessity appear only in the Prospectus), the Prospectus or any amendment, exhibit or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Information, or any information provided by the Seller or VW Credit to any Underwriter or any holder or prospective purchaser of the Notes, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Seller nor VW Credit will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from, any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information (as defined below). The indemnity agreements in this Section 9(a) will be in addition to any liability that the Seller or VW Credit may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and VW Credit and their respective directors, officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls such parties within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law or regulation, whether statutory, at common law or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment, exhibit or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information (as defined below), and (ii) the failure upon the part of any Underwriter to deliver the Preliminary Prospectus prior to the Time of Sale to any investor with whom such

Underwriter entered into a Contract of Sale at such Time of Sale. As used herein, the term “Underwriter Information” means the information set forth in the third paragraph (regarding concessions and discounts) and the second sentence of the twelfth paragraph (regarding market making) under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and VW Credit, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller or VW Credit within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and the respective officers, directors and employees of each such person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Seller or VW Credit may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any statement contained in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) that conflicts with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement that is a part thereof, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller or VW Credit in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, no Underwriter will be liable to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any statement in or omission from any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by the Seller or VW Credit expressly for use therein, (B) information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Seller or VW Credit to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) or (C) Issuer Information (as defined below) (except for information regarding the status of the subscriptions for the Notes). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a), (b) or (c), such person (the “indemnified party”) promptly shall notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceedings and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party agree on the retention of such counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such parties or (iii) the

indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. Such counsel shall be designated in writing by the Seller, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (a), and by the Representative, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (b) or (c). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c): (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller, VW Credit, the Issuer and their affiliates on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Seller, VW Credit, the Issuer and their affiliates on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Seller, VW Credit, the Issuer and their affiliates on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters) received by the Seller, VW Credit, the Issuer and their affiliates bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Seller, VW Credit, the Issuer or their affiliates on the one hand or by any Underwriter on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Underwriter shall have the

same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Seller or VW Credit within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Seller or VW Credit shall have the same rights to contribution as the Seller or VW Credit, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (e).

(f) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, no Underwriter (except as may be provided in the agreement among Underwriters relating to the offering of the Notes) shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter exceed the amount of any damages that such Underwriter otherwise has been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution or indemnity from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that otherwise may be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

SECTION 10. Defaults by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter(s) hereunder, and such failure constitutes a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Notes that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such nondefaulting Underwriter(s) do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this paragraph, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the remaining Underwriter(s) shall determine in order that the required changes (if any) in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter(s) of any liability to the Seller, VW Credit, their affiliates or any nondefaulting Underwriter(s) for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

SECTION 11. Offering Communications. Other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, each Underwriter severally represents, warrants and agrees with VW Credit and the Seller that it has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not

prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, including, but not limited to any “ABS informational and computational materials” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act unless such Underwriter has obtained the prior written approval of VW Credit and the Seller; provided, however, each Underwriter may prepare and convey to one or more of its potential investors without the consent of VW Credit, the Seller or any of their respective affiliates one or more “written communications” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in the form of (i) an Intex CDI file that does not contain any Issuer Information (as defined below) other than Issuer Information included in the Preliminary Prospectus previously filed with the Commission or (ii) other written communication containing no more than the following: (a) information contemplated by Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (b) information included or to be included in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and (c) a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Notes and/or expected pricing parameters of the Notes (each such written communication, an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”). VW Credit and the Seller each authorize each Underwriter to disseminate any “road show” (as defined under Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act) in which representatives of VW Credit or the Seller participate. As used herein, the term “Issuer Information” means any information of the type specified in clauses (1) – (5) of footnote 271 of Commission Release No. 33-8591 (Securities Offering Reform), other than Underwriter Derived Information. As used herein, the term “Underwriter Derived Information” shall refer to information of the type described in clause (5) of footnote 271 of Commission Release No. 33-8591 (Securities Offering Reform) when prepared by any Underwriter, including traditional computational and analytical materials prepared by the Underwriter.

(a) Each Underwriter severally represents, warrants and agrees with VW Credit and the Seller that:

(i) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it will not, as of the date such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus is conveyed or delivered to any prospective purchaser of Notes, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no Underwriter makes such representation, warranty or agreement to the extent such untrue statements or omissions were made in reliance upon and in conformity with information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by VW Credit or the Seller specifically for use therein which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by VW Credit or the Seller to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus;

(ii) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 433(c)(2)(i) of the Securities Act, and shall otherwise conform to any requirements for “free writing prospectuses” under the Securities Act;

(iii) each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by it shall be delivered to VW Credit and the Seller no later than the time of first use and, unless otherwise agreed to by VW Credit and the Seller and the related Underwriter, such delivery shall occur no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of first use (which shall be no earlier than the time that the Preliminary Prospectus is filed with the Commission); provided, however, if the date of first use is not a Business Day, such delivery shall occur no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the first Business Day preceding such date of first use;

(iv) none of the information in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus will conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement that is a part thereof;

(v) such Underwriter has in place, and covenants that it shall maintain, internal controls and procedures which it reasonably believes to be sufficient to ensure full compliance with all applicable legal requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the generation and use of Underwriter Free Writing Prospectuses in connection with the offering of the Notes. In addition, such Underwriter shall, for a period of at least three years after the date hereof, maintain written and/or electronic records of the following:

a. any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus used by such Underwriter to solicit offers to purchase Notes to the extent not filed with the Commission;

b. regarding each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus delivered by such Underwriter to an investor, the date of such delivery and identity of such investor; and

c. regarding each Contract of Sale entered into by such Underwriter, the date, identity of the investor and the terms of such Contract of Sale, as set forth in the related confirmation of trade; and

(vi) such Underwriter shall file any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus that has been distributed by such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination within the later of two business days after such Underwriter first provides this information to investors and the date upon which the Seller is required to file the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or otherwise as required under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that such Underwriter shall not be required to file any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus to the extent such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus includes information in a free writing prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus previously filed with the Commission or that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a free writing prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

SECTION 12. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Underwriter covenants and agrees that, before the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all notes issued by the Issuer or any other common law or statutory trust or limited liability company formed by the Seller in connection with the issuance of securities, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Seller, the Issuer or any other such trust or limited liability company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

SECTION 13. Survival of Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation or statement as to the results thereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Seller shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 6 and the obligations pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect. If for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Underwriters is not consummated, other than termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 with respect to the defaulting Underwriter(s), the Seller will reimburse the Underwriters severally, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Underwriter in connection with the offering of the Notes.

SECTION 14. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and will be mailed or delivered and confirmed in each case as follows: (a) if to the Underwriters, to the Representative at X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000; (b) if to the Seller, at Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx XX 00000, Attention: Corporate Secretary; and (c) if to VW Credit, at VW Credit, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx XX 00000, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

SECTION 15. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and agents, and the directors, officers and control persons referred to in Section 9, and no other person will have any rights or obligations hereunder.

SECTION 16. Applicable Law, Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all disputes, claims, controversies, disagreements, actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the scope or validity of this provision, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principal of conflicts of laws thereof or any other jurisdiction (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Laws), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with such laws. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Seller and VW Credit, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the purchase and sale of the Notes.

SECTION 17. Severability of Provisions. Any covenant, provision, agreement or term of this Agreement that is prohibited or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 18. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

SECTION 19. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for the purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

SECTION 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

SECTION 21. Representation. You will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by you will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

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

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

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth in Section 14 or, if not therein, in the Indenture; and
