CREATION OF THE TRANSACTION SUBI
Section 11.1 Initial Creation of Transaction SUBI Portfolio and Transaction
SUBI.
(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
(each, a "Transaction SUBI Asset"), which shall include Leased Vehicles which
are identified on Schedule 1 to this Transaction SUBI Supplement, the
Transaction Leases relating thereto and all other Origination Trust Assets to

identification and allocation by the Initial Beneficiary pursuant to such
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
Cut-Off Date for any such Transaction Unit identified on Schedule 1 shall not be
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 Leasing
Ltd. Transaction Special Unit of Beneficial Interest 20[__]-[__] Certificate" or
"Transaction SUBI" and which shall represent an exclusive and specific 100%
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
appointed U.S. Bank National Association as the SUBI Trustee for the Transaction
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) 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.
Section 11.4 Filings; Termination of Transaction SUBI; Related Matters.

other and future actions and activities as may be required by the Servicer

Transaction SUBI Portfolio, including filing or causing to be filed UCC
financing statements and executing and delivering all related filings, documents
or writings as may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Servicer hereunder or

coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) with power to sign on behalf of the
Settlor any security agreements, mortgages, assignments, affidavits, letters of
authority, notices or similar documents necessary or appropriate to be executed
or filed pursuant to this Section.
(b) If all of the Transaction Units have been liquidated into cash and all
of such cash shall have been distributed in accordance with the Transaction SUBI

SUBI Certificate, the Transaction SUBI shall be terminated and the Transaction
SUBI Certificate shall be returned to the SUBI Trustee and canceled thereby.
(c) Upon a written direction to the SUBI Trustee to revoke and terminate
the Transaction SUBI by the holder of the Transaction SUBI Certificate, the SUBI
Trustee shall (i) revoke the Transaction SUBI and (ii) promptly, at the expense

and local income, franchise and/or value added tax purposes it shall not treat
this Transaction SUBI Supplement as creating or constituting a trust,
partnership, association taxable as a corporation or any other type of separate

federal, state and local income, franchise and/or value added tax purposes the
Origination Trust holds the Transaction SUBI Portfolio and each asset therein as

(as defined below)).)
Number Transaction SUBI-20[__]-[__]
THIS CERTIFIES THAT ______________________________________ is the
registered owner of a 100% nonassessable, fully-paid, exclusive undivided
interest in the Transaction SUBI Portfolio (such interest, a "Transaction SUBI")
of VW Credit Leasing, Ltd., a Delaware statutory trust (the "Origination Trust")
formed by VW Credit, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as settlor ("VCI" or, in its
capacity as settlor thereunder, and, together with any successor or assign, the
"Settlor"), Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware trustee (the "Delaware
Trustee"), and U.S. Bank National Association (f/k/a U.S. Bank Trust National
Association), as administrative trustee (the "Administrative Trustee") and UTI
trustee (the "UTI Trustee"). The Origination Trust was created pursuant to a
Trust Agreement dated as of June 2, 1999 (as modified, supplemented, or amended
from time to time, the "Agreement") among VCI as the Settlor and as the sole
initial beneficiary (in such capacity, and, together with any successor or
permitted assign, the "Initial Beneficiary"), the UTI Trustee, the
Administrative Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, as supplemented for purposes
hereof by that certain Transaction SUBI Supplement 20[__]-[__] to Origination
Trust Agreement dated as of [_____], [_____] (as amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "Transaction SUBI Supplement") among the
Settlor, the Initial Beneficiary, the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee
and U.S. Bank National Association, as the SUBI Trustee (the "SUBI Trustee";
together with the UTI Trustee, the Administrative Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee, the "Origination Trustees"). To the extent not otherwise defined
herein, the capitalized terms herein have the meanings set forth in the
Agreement.
This Certificate is the duly authorized certificate issued under the
Agreement and the Transaction SUBI Supplement and designated as "VW Credit
Leasing, Ltd. Transaction Special Unit of Beneficial Interest 20[__]-[__]
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
Transaction SUBI Supplement 20[__]-[__] to
Origination Trust Agreement
A-1
"VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Special Unit of Beneficial Interest Certificates" (the
"SUBI Certificates" and, together with the Undivided Trust Interest
Certificates, the "Certificates"). The Undivided Trust Interest Certificates,
taken together, evidence an exclusive undivided interest in the assets of the
Origination Trust, other than SUBI Assets (each as defined in the Agreement);
each other series of SUBI Certificates, taken together, will evidence an
exclusive undivided interest in a separate SUBI Portfolio other than the
Transaction SUBI Portfolio.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Settlor, any Origination Trustee or any of their respective affiliates (other
than the Origination Trust). A copy of the Agreement may be examined during
normal business hours at the principal office of the Settlor or any Origination
Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Settlor or any
Origination Trustee, by the holder hereof upon request.
By accepting this Certificate, the holder hereof releases (or fully
subordinates, but only to the extent such release is not given effect) any claim
in respect of this Certificate to any proceeds or assets of the Origination
Trust and to all of the assets of the Origination Trust other than those from
time to time included within the Transaction SUBI Portfolio (the "Transaction
SUBI Assets") and those proceeds or assets derived from or earned by the
Transaction SUBI Assets.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of a
permitted transfer, the Origination Trustees, the certificate registrar and any
of their respective agents may treat the person or entity in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving
distributions and for all other purposes, and, except as provided for in the
Agreement, neither the Origination Trustees, the certificate registrar nor any
such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The holder of this Certificate covenants and agrees that prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations under
each Financing have been paid in full, it will not institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against, the Origination Trust, 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 Administrative Trustee and the SUBI Trustee, by manual signature, this
Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

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.
