Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.

Volkswagen AG and other Volkswagen Group companies, including VW Credit, Inc., have been the subject of intense scrutiny, ongoing investigations (civil and criminal) and civil litigation relating to TDI diesel engines. Volkswagen AG and other Volkswagen Group companies have received subpoenas and inquiries from state attorneys general and other governmental and regulatory authorities and are responding to such investigations and inquiries, including in areas relating to securities, financing and tax.

One such legal action to which VW Credit, Inc. and certain other Volkswagen Group companies are subject is a civil action brought by the SEC pursuant to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on March 14, 2019. The complaint alleged that VW Credit, Inc., its indirect 100% parent, Volkswagen AG, an affiliate, Volkswagen Group of America Finance, LLC, and the former Chief Executive Officer of Volkswagen AG, Martin Winterkorn, violated the U.S. securities laws by selling certain bonds and asset-based securities without disclosure concerning the existence of defeat devices, as defined under U.S. law, in certain diesel vehicles, and related exposures.

On August 20, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted in part the Volkswagen defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, dismissing all claims related to VW Credit, Inc. and its issuance of certain bonds and automotive asset-backed securities (“ABS”). With respect to VW Credit, Inc., the court held that the SEC’s claims had already been released by virtue of Volkswagen’s settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice for claims made under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1833a, related to VW Credit, Inc. and the ABS.

On September 4, 2020, the SEC filed an amended complaint and removed its claims against VW Credit, Inc. To date, the SEC has not sought to pursue a direct appeal as to the claims against VW Credit, Inc; however, the SEC may attempt to appeal after the resolution of all remaining claims in the amended complaint. The other Volkswagen Group entities named in the complaint intend to continue to contest the SEC’s allegations in the amended complaint.

Except as described above, no legal proceedings are pending against any of VW Credit, Inc. (in its capacity as the sponsor (the “Sponsor”), in its capacity as an originator contemplated by Item 1110(b) of Regulation AB (the “Originator”), in its capacity as servicer (the “Servicer”) and in its capacity as administrator of Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2018-1 (the “Issuing Entity”)), Volkswagen Auto Lease/Loan Underwritten Funding, LLC (the “Depositor”), Citibank, N.A. (the “Indenture Trustee”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware (the “Owner Trustee”), or the Issuing Entity or of which any property of the foregoing is the subject that are or would be material to holders of the asset-backed notes (the “Notes”) or the asset-backed certificate (the “Certificate”). No such proceedings are known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB. Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

The Servicer and the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Servicing Parties”) have each been identified by the Depositor as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Issuing Entity. Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to it (each, a “Servicing Assessment Report”), which Servicing Assessment Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. Neither the Indenture Trustee’s Servicing Assessment Report nor the Indenture Trustee’s Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Indenture Trustee.

The Servicer complied in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to it.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.

The Servicer has completed a statement of compliance with its activities during the reporting period and of its performance under the applicable servicing agreement (a “Compliance Statement”), signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer. The Compliance Statement is attached as Exhibit 35.1 to this Form 10-K.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion regarding the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above is fairly stated, in all material respects, and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated, in all material respects. The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgement, including an assessment of risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. Our examination included testing of selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. Our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the periods covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination and the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Citibank, N.A.:

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Compliance, that the Agency and Trust division of Citibank, N.A. (the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB (the “Servicing Criteria”) for publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and certain privately-issued (i.e., for which transaction-level reporting is required pursuant to contractual obligation) automobile loan or lease-backed securities, equipment loan-backed securities and student loan-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006, as listed in Appendix A of the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Compliance, for which the Company provides trustee and paying agent services (the “Platform”), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(i)-1122(d)(1)(v), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(vi)-1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(i)-1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. With respect to the Platform, Servicing Criterion 1122(d)(3)(ii) is applicable only as it relates to remittances. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the Servicing Criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the Servicing Criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to obtain reasonable assurance and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the Servicing Criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the Servicing Criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the Servicing Criteria.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned Servicing Criteria as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
