Re GMF Canada Leasing Trust

Series 2011-A Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (the “Investment Letter”) is delivered by the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 15, 2011 (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among GMF Canada Leasing Trust, FinanciaLinx Corporation, GM Financial Canada Leasing Ltd., the Purchasers from time to time parties thereto, the Agents from time to time parties thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch, as an Administrative Agent, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., as an Administrative Agent, and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Indenture Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, whether directly or by reference. The Purchaser represents to and agrees with the Issuer as follows:

(a) The Purchaser is authorized [to [enter into][become a party to] the Note Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby] [to purchase a participation in obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement]. If the Purchaser is a CP Conduit and so long as such CP Conduit is a Noteholder of 2011-A Trust Notes, its Commercial Paper Notes shall be “fully wrapped” (as such phrase is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), based on the Support Facility of such CP Conduit.

(b) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the 2011-A Trust Notes and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions as it deems necessary to make an investment decision, and has received all information it has requested in connection with making such investment decision. The Purchaser has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Administrative Agents or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as


it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the 2011-A Lease Agreements, the 2011-A Leased Vehicles, the Borrower, FinanciaLinx, the Servicer, the Issuer, any Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the 2011-A Trust Notes, and will, independently and without reliance upon an Administrative Agent, any Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Note Purchase Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the 2011-A Lease Agreements, the 2011-A Leased Vehicles, the Borrower, FinanciaLinx, the Servicer, the Issuer, any Backup Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.

(c) The 2011-A Trust Notes are issued only in minimum denominations of $150,000.

(d) If the Purchaser is a resident of one of the provinces or territories of Canada or otherwise subject to the laws of Canada, it (A) is entitled under Applicable Securities Laws in Canada to purchase the 2011-A Trust Notes without the benefit of a prospectus qualified under such Applicable Securities Laws, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is purchasing the 2011-A Trust Notes with the benefit of the prospectus exemption provided by Section 2.3 or Section 2.10 of National Instrument 45 106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions (“NI 45 106”), and (B) is an Accredited Investor or is acquiring the 2011-A Trust Notes at an acquisition cost of not less than $150,000 paid in cash at the time of such acquisition (and, if applicable, is an eligible securitized product investor eligible for any relevant prospectus exemption in respect of securitized products which may apply under Applicable Securities Laws in Canada at the relevant time);

(e) If the Purchaser is a resident of or subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than a province or territory of Canada, (A) it is knowledgeable, or has been independently advised as to, all Applicable Securities Law and other Applicable Law of such jurisdiction relating to its purchase of the 2011-A Trust Notes, (B) the purchase by it of the 2011-A Trust Notes is in compliance with the requirements of all Applicable Securities Law and other Applicable Law in such jurisdiction and does not give rise to any registration or similar requirements in such jurisdiction or any requirements for the delivery of a prospectus, offering memorandum or similar offering document to it, any third party approvals of any kind, any filing by the Issuer or it, or any ongoing obligations of the Issuer in such jurisdiction, (C) it will comply with the requirements of all Applicable Securities Law and other Applicable Law in such jurisdiction in connection with its purchase of the 2011-A Trust Notes, and (D) it is purchasing the 2011-A Trust Notes pursuant to an applicable exemption from any prospectus, registration or similar requirement under the Applicable Securities Law of such jurisdiction.

(f) The Purchaser has not received and has not been provided with documents that may be construed as an “offering memorandum” under Applicable Securities Laws and the decision to enter into the Agreement and the Purchaser’s investment in the 2011-A Trust Notes has not been based upon any verbal or written representation as to fact or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Issuer, FinanciaLinx or the Borrower except as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Related Documents.


(g) The Purchaser is purchasing the 2011-A Trust Notes as principal for the Purchaser’s own account or is deemed to be purchasing the 2011-A Trust Notes as principal for the Purchaser’s own account and not for the benefit of any other Person.

(h) The Purchaser was not established or recapitalized solely to permit the acquisition of the 2011-A Trust Notes without the benefit of a prospectus, offering memorandum or other offering document.

(i) The Purchaser acknowledges that the sale of the 2011-A Trust Notes to the Purchaser is being made pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of Applicable Securities Laws and that, accordingly, any resale of the 2011-A Trust Notes must be made in accordance with, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of Applicable Securities Laws.

(j) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any resale of the 2011-A Trust Notes shall be made only to a Permitted Transferee that can represent to the Issuer the matters set out in the paragraphs above, any such resale must be completed in a manner that does not give rise to any filing, prospectus, or continuous disclosure requirements, and any such resale is subject to the delivery of an executed Investment Letter in the form hereof to the Issuer; and

(i) The Information is being collected indirectly by the Ontario Securities Commission and other securities regulatory authorities in Canada, as applicable, under the authority granted to it in securities legislation;

(ii) The Information is being collected for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of the securities legislation of Ontario and other provinces in Canada;

(iii) The Administrative Support Clerk at the Ontario Securities Commission, Suite 1903, Box 55, 20 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3S8, telephone (416)  ###-###-####, can be contacted to answer questions about the Ontario Securities Commission’s indirect collection of such information, and

(iv) The Purchaser authorizes the indirect collection of such information by the Ontario Securities Commission and other securities regulatory authorities in Canada, as applicable, and will assist the Issuer in the execution and delivery of any documents with respect to the issue of the 2011-A Trust Notes as may be required by Applicable Securities Laws.


(l) The Purchaser agrees to comply with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement including the confidentiality provisions in Section 6.3 thereof.

(m) This Investment Letter has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
