Section 11.6Each ACOLT Series Separate; Assignees of ACOLT Series.
It is intended by the parties hereto that Series 2014-SN2 is a separate series of the Trust as provided in Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Act. The debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to Series 2014-SN2 or the Lease Assets shall be enforceable against the Series 2014-SN2 Portfolio only, and not against any other Trust Assets or the Residual Trust Assets. Except to the extent required by law or specified in the Declaration of Trust or this ACOLT Series Supplement, the Lease Assets are not subject to claims, liabilities, expenses or obligations arising from or with respect to the Trust, the ACOLT Owner Trustee, the Residual Interest or any other ACOLT Series in respect of such claim. No creditor or holder of a claim relating to assets allocated to Series 2014-SN2 shall be entitled to maintain any action against or recover any assets allocated to the Residual Interest or any other ACOLT Series. Notice of this limitation on interseries liabilities shall be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Statutory Trust Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Statutory Trust Act relating to limitations on interseries liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each ACOLT Series and the Residual Interest. Any purchaser, assignee or pledgee of an interest in Series 2014-SN2 or the ACOLT Certificate must, prior to or contemporaneously with the grant of any such assignment, pledge or security interest, (i) give to the Trust a no petition covenant substantially similar to that set forth inSection 8.8 of the Declaration of Trust, and (ii) execute an agreement for the benefit of each holder, assignee or pledgee from time to time of the Residual Interest or Residual Certificate and any other ACOLT Series or Series Certificate, to release all claims to the assets of the Trust allocated to the Residual Interest and each other Series Portfolio and in the event that such release is not given effect, to fully subordinate all claims it may be deemed to have against the assets of the Trust allocated to the Residual Interest and each other Series Portfolio. In the event of a sale or assignment of a Series Certificate, such purchaser or assignee shall be a beneficiary of the Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Series Certificate so acquired and in the applicable ACOLT Series Supplement.
Section 11.7Nonpetition; Release of Claims.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of Trust, this ACOLT Series Supplement, any other Basic Document or any other ACOLT Transaction Document and notwithstanding any prior termination of the Declaration of Trust or this ACOLT Series Supplement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Certificateholder and the ACOLT Owner Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Declaration of Trust with respect to the Trust, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Trust under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust.

Section 11.8Tax Matters.
Each of the Residual Certificateholder and the ACOLT Owner Trustee agree that for federal and state income tax purposes it shall not treat this ACOLT Series Supplement as creating or constituting a trust, partnership, association taxable as a corporation or any other type of separate entity (and will report for such purposes in a consistent manner therewith). Instead, it is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income, the Trust shall be treated (i) when the Certificates are legally or beneficially owned by two or more Persons, as a partnership and (ii) when the Certificates are legally or beneficially owned by one Person, as a disregarded entity for purposes of Treasury Regulation 301.7701-3, and in each case, that the provisions of this ACOLT Series Supplement shall be construed in accordance with such intent. Each such party further agrees that the Trust is acting as holder of record title to the Series 2014-SN2 Portfolio, other than the Leased Vehicles contained therein, solely for the benefit of, and as agent and nominee of, the holder of the ACOLT Certificate, and shall not hold itself out or act in a manner inconsistent with it acting merely as agent and nominee.

Evidencing an exclusive and specific divided equity beneficial interest in all Lease Assets (as defined below).
(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of Ally Bank, Ally Central Originating Lease LLC or any of their Affiliates, except to the extent described below).
Number Series 2014-SN2
THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND THE VARIOUS STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE MADE UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND IS OTHERWISE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE ACOLT 2014-SN2 SUPPLEMENT TO THE DECLARATION OF TRUST (AS DEFINED BELOW).
THIS CERTIFICATE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) MAY NOT BE ACQUIRED BY OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF (i) AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE U.S. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”)), WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE I OF ERISA, (ii) A “PLAN” DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), OR (iii) AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE PLAN ASSETS OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING (EACH, A “BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR”). BY ACCEPTING AND HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE, THE HOLDER HEREOF AND ANY RELATED CERTIFICATE OWNER SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT IT IS NOT A BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR AND IS NOT PURCHASING ON BEHALF OF A BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR AND, IF REQUESTED TO DO SO BY THE TRUST, SUCH PERSON SHALL EXECUTE AND DELIVER TO THE ACOLT OWNER TRUSTEE AN UNDERTAKING LETTER TO SUCH EFFECT IN THE FORM SPECIFIED IN THE DECLARATION OF TRUST.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT Ally Central Originating Lease LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid, equity beneficial interest in the Series 2014-SN2 Portfolio (as hereinafter defined) of Ally Central Originating Lease Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust”) of which Ally Central Originating Lease LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is the residual certificateholder (“ACOL LLC” or, in its
Ex. A-1
capacity as residual certificateholder thereunder, and, together with any successor or assign in such capacity, the “Residual Certificateholder”), and for which Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware is the ACOLT Owner Trustee (in such capacity, together with any successor or permitted assign, the “ACOLT Owner Trustee”). The Trust exists pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, dated as of April 7, 2010 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Declaration of Trust”), by the ACOLT Owner Trustee and acknowledged, accepted and agreed to by ACOL LLC, as Residual Certificateholder, as supplemented for purposes hereof by that certain ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 22, 2014 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust”), between ACOL LLC, as Residual Certificateholder, and the ACOLT Owner Trustee. A summary of certain of the pertinent portions of the Declaration of Trust is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth inPart I ofExhibit I to the Declaration of Trust.
This Certificate is the duly authorized certificate issued under the Declaration of Trust and the ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, and is designated as “Ally Central Originating Lease Trust 2014-SN2 Certificate” (the “ACOLT Certificate”). This ACOLT Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Declaration of Trust (including the ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, to which Declaration of Trust the holder of this ACOLT Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. There has also been issued under the Declaration of Trust a Residual Certificate (the “Residual Certificate”), and there may be issued from time to time various additional series of Certificates representing ACOLT Series of equity beneficial interests (each such additional Certificate, a “Series Certificate” and, together with the Residual Certificate, the “Certificates”). The Residual Certificate evidences an exclusive, undivided beneficial interest in ACOLT Assets other than Trust Assets allocated to a particular ACOLT Series (each as defined in the Declaration of Trust), and each series of Series Certificates, taken together, will evidence an exclusive and specific divided equity beneficial interest in a separate Series Portfolio (as defined below).
The Declaration of Trust provides that, from time to time, certain of ACOLT Assets will be identified and allocated on the records of the Trust into one or more separate portfolios of ACOLT Assets (each such portfolio, a “Series Portfolio”). The equity beneficial interest in each such Series Portfolio will constitute a separate series of an equity beneficial interest (an “ACOLT Series”) in the Trust. Pursuant to the ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, the equity beneficial interest in a separate Series Portfolio (the “Series 2014-SN2 Portfolio”) was designated as a separate ACOLT Series known as “Series 2014-SN2.”
The rights of the holder of this Certificate to the proceeds of the Lease Assets are and will be further set forth in the Declaration of Trust and the ACOLT 2014-SN2 Supplement to the Declaration of Trust.
This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in Ally Bank, ACOL LLC or the ACOLT Owner Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Trust).
