No Servicer Advances will be made with respect to Defaulted Receivables. The Servicer will make no Servicer Advances with respect to Receivables that the Servicer had made prior Servicer Advances with respect to, but subsequently determined to be non-recoverable.

On each Payment Date all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit therein shall be applied as set forth in Section 4.06(a) of this Series Supplement. Funds on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall be invested at the direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available on or before the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date. Funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account on a Business Day which immediately precedes the Expected Principal Payment Date or a Payment Date, as applicable, or funds deposited in respect of the maturity of any Eligible Investments on such Business Day, are not required to be invested overnight.
     (c) The Excess Funding Account shall be established and maintained in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.
     (d) (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in, and all Eligible Investments credited to, the Reserve Account and the Principal Funding Account (collectively the “Series 2005-1 Accounts”) and in all proceeds thereof.

     Section 4.08 Application of Reserve Account and Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount.
     (a) If Noteholder Non-Principal Collections, and Investment Proceeds and any Servicer Advance for any Payment Date are not sufficient to make the entire distributions required by Section 4.06(a)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi)(A), the Servicer shall cause the Indenture Trustee to withdraw funds from the Reserve Account and apply the withdrawn funds to complete the distributions as described in Section 4.06(a)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi)(A).
     (b) If, on any Payment Date, there is a Required Subordinated Draw Amount for such Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply or cause the Indenture Trustee to apply the Additional Noteholder Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on such Payment Date, but only up to the amount of the Required Subordinated Draw Amount, to make the distributions required by Sections 4.06(a)(ii), (iii), (v) and (vi)(A) that have not been made through any Servicer Advance or the application of funds from the Reserve Account in accordance with Section 4.08(a). Any Additional Noteholder Collections remaining after application thereof pursuant to the first or second preceding sentence, as applicable, shall be treated as a portion of Available Noteholder Principal Collections for such Payment Date, but only up to the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 2005-1. The amount of Additional Noteholder Collections applied in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (b) shall reduce the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount in all other cases as described in clause (a)(i)(A) of the definition thereof. If the Required Subordinated Draw Amount exceeds the Additional Noteholder Collections for such Payment Date, the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount shall be further reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the sum of (x) the Noteholder Default Amount and (y) the amount of unpaid Adjustment Payments allocated to Series 2005-1 and not paid by the Transferor.

     (d) In the event that the Invested Amount is greater than zero on the Series 2005-1 Stated Maturity Date, any funds remaining in the Reserve Account after the application of funds as described herein will be treated as a portion of Available Noteholder Principal Collections for the Payment Date occurring on the Series 2005-1 Stated Maturity Date. After making such payments to the Series 2005-1 Noteholders, any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account after the Final Payment Date shall be paid to the Residual Interestholder.
     (e) The balance of Additional Noteholder Collections on any Payment Date, after giving effect to any distributions thereof pursuant to Section 4.08(a), (b) or (d), shall be distributed to the Residual Interestholder on such Payment Date.
     Section 4.09 Noteholder Charge-Offs; Reallocations of Principal. If, on any Payment Date on which the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount on the preceding Determination Date (after giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits

     (b) Series 2005-1 Excess Principal Collections, with respect to any Payment Date, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 2005-1 Principal Shortfall for such Payment Date; provided, however, that, if the aggregate amount of Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such Payment Date is less than the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Payment Date, then the Series 2005-1 Excess Principal Collections for such Payment Date shall equal the product of (x) Excess Principal Collections for all Series for such Payment Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2005-1 Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Payment Date.
     (c) Series 2005-1 is a Series that is a part of Group I with respect to the sharing of Excess Principal Collections.
     Section 4.11 Excess Funding Account.
     (a) When required pursuant to Section 4.07, the Series 2005-1 Excess Funding Amount shall be withdrawn from the Excess Funding Account and deposited in the Principal Funding Account; provided however, that such deposit shall not exceed the Invested Amount of the Series 2005-1 Notes.
     (b) If any other Series is in an amortization, early amortization or accumulation period, the amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account and allocable to such other Series shall be applied first to satisfy in full any then applicable funding or payment requirements of such Series and second to make a payment to the Residual Interestholder. If more than one other Series is in an amortization, early amortization or accumulation, the amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be allocated (and, if necessary, reallocated) among such Series as specified in the related Series Supplement to meet the funding or payment requirements of each such Series first to satisfy in full all then applicable funding or payment requirements of each such Series and second to make a payment to the Residual Interestholder.

     Section 4.12 Postponement of the Accumulation Period. Initially, the Accumulation Period is scheduled to be four months long. However, depending on the performance of the Receivables owned by the Issuer, the length of the Accumulation Period may be shortened to three months, two months or a single month as described in this Section. The Accumulation Period Commencement Date for the Series 2005-1 Notes will be March 1, 2008, or, if the Issuer, acting directly or through the Administrator, elects at its option to delay the start of the Accumulation Period, a later date selected by the Issuer. Delaying the start of the Accumulation Period will extend the Revolving Period and shorten the Accumulation Period. The Issuer may elect to delay the start of the Accumulation Period if it believes that (i) the Issuer will be able to reallocate investor principal amounts allocable to other series of Notes to make larger monthly deposits into the Principal Funding Account over a shorter period of time or (ii) the payment rate on the Receivables will permit larger monthly deposits to that account over a shorter period of time. In order to delay the start of the Accumulation Period, the following things must occur:
     (a) the Issuer must deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Issuer believes that delaying the start of the Accumulation Period will not delay any payment of principal to Series 2005-1 Noteholders;
     (b) the Rating Agency Condition must be satisfied with respect to the proposed delay in the start of the Accumulation Period;
     (c) the amount of principal that the Indenture Trustee will deposit into the Principal Funding Account each month during the Accumulation Period must be increased, so that the sum of all scheduled deposits made during the shortened Accumulation Period will equal the initial Invested Amount on the Expected Principal Payment Date;
     (d) the Accumulation Period must start no later than June 1, 2008; and
     (e) the Issuer must make this election no later than the first day of the last month of the Revolving Period, including extensions of the Revolving Period.
     Section 4.13 Excess Non-Principal Collections.
     (a) That portion of Excess Non-Principal Collections for any Payment Date equal to the amount of the Series 2005-1 Excess Non-Principal Collections for such Payment Date shall be allocated to Series 2005-1 and shall be distributed as set forth in this Series Supplement.
     (b) Series 2005-1 Excess Non-Principal Collections, with respect to any Payment Date, shall mean an amount equal to the Series 2005-1 Non-Principal Shortfall for such Payment Date; provided, however, that, if the aggregate amount of Excess Non-Principal Collections for all Series for such Payment Date is less than the aggregate amount of Non-Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Payment Date, then the Series 2005-1 Excess Non-Principal Collections for such Payment Date shall equal the product of (x) Excess Non-Principal Collections for all Series for such Payment Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2005-1 Non-Principal Shortfall for such

-20-


 

Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Non-Principal Shortfalls for all Series for such Payment Date.
     (c) Series 2005-1 is a Series that is a part of Group I with respect to the sharing of Excess Non-Principal Collections.

-22-


 

     (i) on any Determination Date, the average of the Monthly Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods is less than 25%;
     (ii) on any Determination Date, the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount for the next Payment Date will be reduced to an amount less than the Required Subordinated Amount on such Determination Date, after giving effect to the distributions to be made on the next Payment Date; provided that, for the purpose of determining whether an Early Amortization Event has occurred pursuant to this clause (ii), any reduction of the Series 2005-1 Available Subordinated Amount resulting from reallocations of allocable principal collections to pay interest on the Series 2005-1 Notes in the event LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate upon which interest on the Receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date will be considered an Early Amortization Event only if LIBOR remains equal to or greater than such prime rate for the next 30 consecutive days following such Determination Date.
     (iii) any Servicing Default occurs;
     (iv) failure on the part of the Transferor, the Servicer or VCI, as applicable, (a) to make any payment or deposit required by the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to any Transfer Deposit Amount or Adjustment Payment, on or before the date occurring five Business Days after the date such payment or deposit is required to be made therein; or (b) to deliver a Payment Date Statement on the date required under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement (or within the applicable grace period which will not exceed five Business Days); (c) to comply with its covenant not to create any lien on a Receivable; or (d) to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements set forth in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure;

     (vi) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes and the declaration that the Series 2005-1 Notes are due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture; and

10004, Attention: Global Corporate Trust Services. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement. In the event of any conflict between this Note, on the one hand, and the Indenture, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement on the other hand, the Indenture, the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or such Series Supplement shall control.
     The Transferor has entered into the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement and the Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable law as indebtedness of the Transferor secured by the Receivables. The Transferor, each Beneficiary and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by the acceptance of its Note or Book-Entry Note, as applicable, agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness of Transferor secured by the Receivables for Federal income taxes, state and local income, franchise, single business taxes and/or value added taxes and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income in whole or in part.
     On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to each Noteholder at the close of business on the day preceding such Payment Date (each a “Record Date”) such Noteholder’s pro rata share of such amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Account are payable in respect of Notes pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement. Distributions with respect to this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Noteholder of record appearing on the Note Register without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation thereon (except for the final distribution in respect of this Note) except that with respect to Notes registered in the name of a Depository, including Cede & Co., the nominee for DTC, distributions will be made in immediately available funds. Final payment of this Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholder in accordance with the Indenture.
     On the Payment Date occurring after the date on which the Invested Amount of Series 2005-1 is reduced to $85,000,000 or less (which amount shall equal 10% of the initial outstanding principal balance of the Series 2005-1 Notes), the Transferor may, at its option, subject to the condition set forth in Section 7.01 of the Series Supplement, direct the Trust to redeem the Series 2005-1 Notes in whole or in part. The purchase price will be equal to the Redemption Price for such Payment Date (as defined in the Series Supplement).
     This Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen of America, Inc., the Transferor, the Servicer, or any affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality. This Note is limited in right of payment to certain Collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement.
     Each of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture may be amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein.
