Section 13.8 Tax Matters.
Each of the Initial Beneficiary, the UTI Trustee, the Delaware Trustee,
the SUBI Trustee and any holder or pledgee of the Transaction SUBI (including
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, respectively) agree that for federal,
state 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
entity (and will report for such purposes in a consistent manner therewith).
Instead, each of such parties agrees, and will consistently report, that for
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
a mere agent of the Issuer. Each such party further agrees that the Origination
Trust is acting as holder of record title to the Transaction SUBI Portfolio,
including the Transaction Vehicles, solely for the benefit of, and as agent and
nominee of, the Issuer, and shall not hold itself out or act in a manner
inconsistent with it acting merely as agent and nominee.

evidencing an exclusive undivided 100% beneficial ownership interest in
all Transaction SUBI Assets (as defined below).
(This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
VW Credit, Inc. or any of its affiliates (other than the Origination Trust
(as defined below)).)
Number Transaction SUBI-2005-A-[ ]
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, a Delaware banking corporation, 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
2005-A to Origination Trust Agreement dated as of March 3, 2005 (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 2005-A
Certificate" (the "Transaction SUBI Certificate"). This Transaction SUBI
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement and the Transaction SUBI Supplement, to which
Agreement the holder of this Transaction SUBI Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. Also to be issued
under the Agreement are various other series of Certificates, the first
designated as "VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Undivided Trust Interest Certificates"
(the "Undivided Trust Interest Certificates"), and the others each designated as
"VW Credit Leasing, Ltd. Special Unit of Beneficial Interest Certificates" (the
"SUBI
Transaction SUBI Supplement 2005-A to
Origination Trust Agreement
A-1
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.
