(a) Duties with Respect to the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall
perform all of its duties as Administrator under this Agreement and the Issuer Documents and
the duties and obligations of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust
Agreement) under the Issuer Documents; provided, however, except as otherwise provided in the
Issuer Documents, that the Administrator shall have no obligation to make any payment
required to be made by the Issuer under any Issuer Document; provided, further, however, that

otherwise comply with the requirements of the Owner Trustee pursuant to or related to
Regulation AB. In addition, the Administrator shall consult with the Issuer and the Owner
Trustee regarding its duties and obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator
shall monitor the performance of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee and shall advise the Issuer

Trustee’s duties and obligations under the Issuer Documents. The Administrator shall perform
such calculations, and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or the Owner Trustee or

filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the
Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee) to prepare, file and deliver pursuant to the
Issuer Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator shall take all
appropriate action that is the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as
owner trustee) to take pursuant to the Issuer Documents, and shall prepare, execute, file and
deliver on behalf of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee all such documents, reports, filings,
instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner
Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Issuer Documents or otherwise by law.
(b) Notices to Rating Agencies. The Administrator shall give notice to each

each of (i) through (v), promptly upon the Administrator being notified
thereof by the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, as applicable.
(c) No Action by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take any action
that the Issuer
Administration Agreement
(VALET 2011-1)
(VALET 2011-1)
2
directs the Administrator not to take or which would result in a violation or
breach of the Issuer’s covenants, agreements or obligations under any of the Issuer
Documents.
(d) Non-Ministerial Matters; Exceptions to Administrator Duties.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to
matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the
Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a reasonable time before the
taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Issuer of the
proposed action and the Issuer shall not have withheld consent or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose
of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without
limitation:
(A) the initiation of any claim or lawsuit by the Issuer and the compromise of
any action, claim or lawsuit brought by or against the Issuer;
(B) the appointment of successor Note Registrars, successor Paying Agents,
successor Indenture Trustees, successor Administrators or successor Servicers, or the
consent to the assignment by the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture
Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture; and
(C) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, (x) make any payments to the
Noteholders under the Transaction Documents, (y) except as provided in the Transaction
Documents, sell the Trust Estate or (z) take any other action that the Issuer directs
the Administrator not to take on its behalf.
2. Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records
relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible
for inspection upon reasonable written request by the Issuer, the Seller and the Indenture Trustee
at any time during normal business hours.

(VALET 2011-1)
(VALET 2011-1)

4. Independence of the Administrator. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the
Issuer with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations
hereunder. Unless expressly authorized by the Issuer, the Administrator shall have no authority to
act for or to represent the Issuer in any way (other than as permitted hereunder) and shall not
otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer.
5. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall constitute the
Administrator and the Issuer as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate,
unincorporated business or other separate entity, (ii) shall be construed to impose any liability
as such on the Administrator or the Issuer or (iii) shall be deemed to confer on the Administrator or the Issuer any express, implied or
apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.
6. Other Activities of the Administrator. Nothing herein shall prevent the
Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from
acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other Person even though such Person may
engage in business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee.
7. Representations and Warranties of the Administrator. The Administrator represents
and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as follows:
(a) Existence and Power. The Administrator is a corporation validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and has, in all material
respects, all power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The
Administrator has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where
the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Administrator
to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or affect the enforceability or
collectibility of the Receivables or any other part of the Collateral.
(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Administrator of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (i) have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Administrator and (ii) do not
contravene or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its
organizational documents or (C) any material agreement, contract, order or other instrument
to which it is a party or its property is subject (other than violations which do not affect
the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or
in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by,
or the Administrator’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents).
Administration Agreement
(VALET 2011-1)
(VALET 2011-1)

(c) No Consent Required. No approval or authorization by, or filing with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by the Administrator of any Transaction Document other than (i) UCC filings, (ii) approvals
and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings that have previously been
made and (iii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not
have a material adverse effect on the enforceability or collectibility of the Receivables or
any other part of the Collateral or would not materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Administrator to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Binding Effect. Each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a
party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Administrator enforceable
against the Administrator in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and, if applicable, the rights of creditors of corporations from time to time in
effect or by general principles of equity.
8. Administrator Replacement Events; Termination of the Administrator.
(a) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Administrator may resign
its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with at least sixty (60) days’ prior written
notice.
(b) Subject to clauses (d) and (e) below, the Issuer may remove the
Administrator without cause by providing the Administrator with at least sixty (60) days’
prior written notice.
(c) The occurrence of any one of the following events (each, an “Administrator
Replacement Event”) shall also entitle the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof,
to terminate and replace the Administrator:
(i) any failure by the Administrator to deliver or cause to be delivered any
required payment to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders, which
failure continues unremedied for ten business days after discovery thereof by a
Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written
notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a
majority of the aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Notes;
(ii) any failure by the Administrator to duly observe or perform in any material
respect any other of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which failure
materially and
Administration Agreement
(VALET 2011-1)
(VALET 2011-1)
5
adversely affects the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and
which continues unremedied for 90 days after discovery thereof by a Responsible
Officer of the Administrator or receipt by the Administrator of written notice thereof
from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the
aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Notes;
(iii) any representation or warranty of the Administrator made in any Transaction
Document to which the Administrator is a party or by which it is bound or any
certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement proves to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights
of the Issuer or the Noteholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 90 days
after discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Administrator or receipt by
the Administrator of written notice thereof from the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders
evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding
Notes (it being understood that any repurchase of a Receivable by
VCI pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, by the Seller
pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to
remedy any incorrect representation or warranty with respect to such Receivable); or
(iv) the Administrator suffers a Bankruptcy Event;
provided, however, that a delay in or failure of performance referred to under
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above for a period of 150 days will not
constitute an Administrator Replacement Event if such delay or failure was caused by force
majeure or other similar occurrence.
(d) If an Administrator Replacement Event shall have occurred, the Issuer may, subject
to Section 19 hereof, by notice given to the Administrator and the Owner Trustee,
terminate all or a portion of the rights and powers of the Administrator under this
Agreement, including the rights of the Administrator to receive the annual fee for services
hereunder for all periods following such termination; provided, however, that such
termination shall not become effective until such time as the Issuer, subject to Section
19 hereof, shall have appointed a successor Administrator in the manner set forth below.
Upon any such termination, all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of the
Administrator under this Agreement shall vest in and be assumed by any successor
Administrator appointed by the Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, pursuant to a
management agreement between the Issuer and such successor Administrator, containing
substantially the same provisions as this Agreement (including with respect to the
compensation of such successor Administrator), and the successor Administrator is hereby
irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Administrator,
as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts
Administration Agreement
(VALET 2011-1)
(VALET 2011-1)
6
or things necessary or appropriate to effect such vesting and
assumption. Further, in such event, the Administrator shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the administration of the Issuer to
the new Administrator.
(e) The Issuer, subject to Section 19 hereof, may waive in writing any
Administrator Replacement Event by the Administrator in the performance of its obligations
hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past Administrator Replacement
Event, such Administrator Replacement Event shall cease to exist, and any Administrator
Replacement Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose
of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Administrator
Replacement Event or impair any right consequent thereon.
9. Action upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, or the removal of the Administrator pursuant to
Section 8, the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid by the Servicer all fees accruing
to it to the date of such termination or removal.
10. Liens. The Administrator will not directly or indirectly create, allow or
suffer to exist any Lien on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.
11. Notices. 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 facsimile, and addressed in each case as
specified on Schedule II to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as
shall be designated by any of the specified addressees 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.
12. Amendments.
(a) Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended by the Administrator without
the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or any
other Person subject to the satisfaction of one of the following conditions:

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer, the Administrator and the
Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of
the aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. It will not be necessary for the consent of
Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it will be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents
(and any other consents of Noteholders provided for in this Agreement) and of evidencing the authorization
of the execution thereof by Noteholders will be subject to such reasonable requirements as
the Indenture Trustee may prescribe, including the establishment of record dates pursuant to
the Note Depository Agreement.
(c) Prior to the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator shall provide
written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency and the Owner
Trustee; and promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Administrator (i) shall
furnish a copy of such amendment to each Rating Agency, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee and (ii) if this Agreement is amended in accordance with clauses (i) or
(ii) of Section 12(a), shall furnish a copy of such Opinion of Counsel or
Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, to each of the Rating Agencies.
(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Issuer Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and conclusively 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, the Issuer
Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
such amendment which adversely affects the Owner Trustee’s, the Issuer Delaware Trustee’s or
the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement.
