F. Porsche AG, and Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (together, “Defendants”) alleging that Defendants violated Sections 203(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7522(a)(1), (2), (3)(A), and (3)(B), with regard to approximately 500,000 model year 2009 to 2015 motor vehicles containing 2.0 liter diesel engines (more specifically defined elsewhere as “2.0 Liter Subject Vehicles”) and approximately 80,000 model year 2009 to 2016 motor vehicles containing 3.0 liter diesel engines (more specifically defined elsewhere as “3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles”), for a total of approximately 580,000 motor vehicles (collectively, “Subject Vehicles”); WHEREAS, the U.S. Complaint alleges that each Subject Vehicle contains, as part of the engine control module (“ECM”), certain computer algorithms that cause the emissions control system of those vehicles to perform differently during normal vehicle operation and use than during emissions testing. The U.S. Complaint alleges that these computer algorithms are prohibited defeat devices under the Act, and that during normal vehicle operation and use, the Subject Vehicles emit levels of oxides of nitrogen (“NOx”) significantly in excess of the EPA- compliant levels. The U.S. Complaint alleges and asserts four claims for relief related to the presence of the defeat devices in the Subject Vehicles; WHEREAS, the People of the State of California, by and through the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) and Kamala D. Harris, Attorney General of the State of California, filed a complaint on June 27, 2016, against Defendants alleging that Defendants violated Cal. Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 3 of 164 2 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Health & Safety Code §§ 43016, 43017, 43151, 43152, 43153, 43205, 43211, and 43212; Cal. Code Regs. tit. 13, §§ 1903, 1961, 1961.2, 1965, 1968.2, and 2037, and 40 C.F.R. Sections incorporated by reference in those California regulations; Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq., 17500 et seq., and 17580.5; Cal. Civ. Code § 3494; and 12 U.S.C. § 5536 et seq., with regard to approximately 71,000 model year 2009 to 2015 motor vehicles containing 2.0 liter diesel engines and approximately 16,000 model year 2009 to 2016 motor vehicles containing 3.0 liter diesel engines, for a total of approximately 87,000 motor vehicles in California. The California Complaint alleges, in relevant part, that the motor vehicles contain prohibited defeat devices and have resulted in, and continue to result in, increased NOx emissions from each such vehicle significantly in excess of CARB requirements, that these vehicles have resulted in the creation of a public nuisance, and that Defendants engaged in related conduct that violated unfair competition, false advertising, and consumer protection laws; WHEREAS, on June 28, 2016, the United States lodged a Partial Consent Decree, Dkt. No. 1605-1 (“First Partial Consent Decree”), concerning the 2.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, which was entered into by the United States, California, and certain Defendants (Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., and Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations, LLC). The First Partial Consent Decree was entered by this Court on October 25, 2016. Dkt. No. 2103; WHEREAS, the United States and California enter into this Second Partial Consent Decree with Defendants (collectively, the “Parties”) to address the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles on the road and the associated environmental consequences resulting from the past and future excess emissions from the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles; Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 4 of 164 3 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 WHEREAS, Defendants admit that software in the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles enables the vehicles’ ECMs to detect when the vehicles are being driven on the road, rather than undergoing Federal Test Procedures, and that this software renders certain emission control systems in the vehicles inoperative when the ECM detects the vehicles are not undergoing Federal Test Procedures, resulting in emissions that exceed EPA-compliant and CARB- compliant levels when the vehicles are driven on the road; WHEREAS, Defendants admit that this software was not disclosed in the Certificate of Conformity and Executive Order applications for the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, and, as a result, the design specifications of the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, as manufactured, differ materially from the design specifications described in the Certificate of Conformity and Executive Order applications; WHEREAS, except as expressly provided in this Consent Decree, nothing in this Consent Decree shall constitute an admission of any fact or law by any Party except for the purpose of enforcing the terms or conditions set forth herein; WHEREAS, the Parties agree that: 1. The 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles on the road emit NOx at levels above the standards to which they were certified to EPA and CARB pursuant to the Clean Air Act and the California Health and Safety Code, and a prompt remedy to address the noncompliance is needed; 2. At the present time, there are no practical engineering solutions that would, without negative impact to vehicle functions and unacceptable delay, bring the Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles into compliance with the exhaust emission standards and the on-board diagnostics requirements to which Defendants certified the vehicles to EPA and CARB. Defendants expect there to be a practical engineering solution to bring the Generation 2.x 3.0 Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 5 of 164 4 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Liter Subject Vehicles into compliance with the exhaust emission standards to which Defendants certified the vehicles to EPA and CARB; 3. Accordingly, as one element of the remedy to address the Clean Air Act and California Health and Safety Code violations, Defendants are required to perform two vehicle recalls as follows: a. First, for Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, Defendants must offer the Buyback or the Lease Termination, for 100% of the Generation 1.x vehicles under terms described in Appendix A of this Consent Decree (Buyback, Lease Termination, Vehicle Modification, and Emissions Compliant Recall Program). In addition, if approved by EPA/CARB, Defendants may, in accordance with the requirements specified in Appendix B of this Consent Decree (Vehicle Recall and Emissions Modification Program for 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles), modify such vehicles to substantially reduce their NOx emissions in accordance with standards established by EPA/CARB in this Consent Decree. b. Second, for Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, if proposed by Defendants and approved by EPA/CARB, Defendants must offer an Emissions Compliant Recall as set forth in Appendix A to bring these vehicles into compliance with their Certified Exhaust Emission Standards in accordance with the requirements specified in Appendix B. If Defendants are unable to effect a recall that meets Certified Exhaust Emission Standards for a particular Test Group or Groups of Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles within the timeframe and in accordance with the other requirements specified in Appendix B, Defendants must offer the Buyback or Lease Termination, under terms described in Appendix Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 6 of 164 5 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 A, for 100% of such vehicles and may, if proposed by Defendants and approved by EPA/CARB, consistent with the provisions in Appendix B, modify such vehicles to substantially reduce their NOx emissions in accordance with standards established by EPA/CARB in this Consent Decree. c. In the event Defendants do not achieve the 85% recall rates required by Appendix A, Defendants must pay additional funds into the Mitigation Trust; 4. The practical engineering solutions provided by Appendix B, should Defendants propose such emissions modifications consistent with the provisions of Appendix B, would substantially reduce NOx emissions from the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles and improve their on- board diagnostics, would avoid undue waste and potential environmental harm that would be associated with removing the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles from service, and would allow Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees to retain their Eligible Vehicles; 5. Members of the public who are Eligible Owners or Eligible Lessees of Eligible Vehicles will benefit from the relief provided by this Consent Decree; 6. As described below, Defendants will pay a total of $225,000,000 to fund Eligible Mitigation Actions that will reduce emissions of NOx where the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles were, are, or will be operated. The funding for the Eligible Mitigation Actions required by this Consent Decree is intended to fully mitigate the total, lifetime excess NOx emissions from the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles; WHEREAS, the Parties recognize, and the Court by entering this Consent Decree finds, that this Consent Decree has been negotiated by the Parties in good faith and will avoid litigation among the Parties regarding certain relief with respect to the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles for the Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 7 of 164 6 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 claims alleged in the Complaints, and that this Consent Decree is fair, reasonable, and in the public interest; and WHEREAS, the Parties recognize, and the Court by entering this Consent Decree finds, that the United States and California are not enforcing the laws of other countries, including the emissions laws or regulations of any jurisdiction outside the United States. Nothing in this Consent Decree is intended to apply to, or affect, Defendants’ obligations under the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction outside the United States. At the same time, the laws and regulations of other countries shall not affect the Defendants’ obligations under this Consent Decree.

Subject to the provisions in Section XI (Effect of Settlement/Reservation of Rights), the United States and California reserve all legal and equitable remedies available to enforce the provisions of this Consent Decree. In addition to the remedies specifically reserved and those specifically agreed to elsewhere in this Consent Decree, the United States and California expressly reserve the right to seek any other relief they deem appropriate for Defendants’ violation of this Consent Decree, including but not limited to an action against Defendants for statutory penalties where applicable, additional injunctive relief, mitigation or offset measures, contempt, and/or criminal sanctions. However, the amount of any statutory penalty assessed for a violation of this Consent Decree (and payable to the United States or to California, respectively) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any stipulated penalty assessed and paid pursuant to this Consent Decree (to the United States or to California, respectively) for the same violation. VIII. FORCE MAJEURE 54. “Force majeure,” for purposes of this Consent Decree, is defined as any event arising from causes beyond the control of Defendants, of any entity controlled by Defendants, or of Defendants’ contractors, that delays or prevents the performance of any obligation under this Consent Decree despite Defendants’ best efforts to fulfill the obligation. The requirement that Defendants exercise “best efforts to fulfill the obligation” includes using best efforts to anticipate any potential force majeure event and best efforts to address the effects of any potential force majeure event (a) as it is occurring, and (b) following the potential force majeure, such that the delay and any adverse effects of the delay are minimized. “Force majeure” does not include Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 31 of 164 30 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Defendants’ financial inability to perform any obligation under this Consent Decree. 55. If any event occurs or has occurred that may delay the performance of any obligation under this Consent Decree, for which Defendants intend or may intend to assert a claim of force majeure, whether or not caused by a force majeure event, Defendants shall provide notice by email to EPA and CARB, within 7 Days of when Defendants first knew that the event might cause a delay. Within 14 Days thereafter, Defendants shall provide in writing to EPA and CARB an explanation and description of the reasons for the delay; the anticipated duration of the delay; all actions taken or to be taken to prevent or minimize the delay or the effect of the delay; a schedule for implementation of any such measures; Defendants’ rationale for attributing such delay to a force majeure event if it intends to assert such a claim; and a statement as to whether, in the opinion of Defendants, such event may cause or contribute to an endangerment to public health, welfare or the environment. Defendants shall include with any notice all available documentation supporting the claim that the delay was attributable to a force majeure event. Failure to comply with the above requirements shall preclude Defendants from asserting any claim of force majeure for that event for the period of time of such failure to comply, and for any additional delay caused by such failure. Defendants shall be deemed to know of any circumstance of which Defendants, any entity controlled by Defendants, or Defendants’ contractors knew or should have known. 56. If EPA/CARB agree(s) that the delay or anticipated delay is attributable to a force majeure event, the time for performance of the obligations under this Consent Decree that are affected by the force majeure event will be extended by EPA/CARB for such time as is necessary to complete those obligations. An extension of the time for performance of the obligations affected by the force majeure event shall not, of itself, extend the time for Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 32 of 164 31 SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 performance of any other obligation. EPA/CARB will notify Defendants in writing of the length of the extension, if any, for performance of the obligations affected by the force majeure event. 57. If EPA/CARB do(es) not agree that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a force majeure event, EPA/CARB will notify Defendants in writing of its/their decision. 58. If Defendants elect to invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section IX (Dispute Resolution), it shall do so no later than 15 Days after receipt of EPA’s/CARB’s notice. In any such proceeding, Defendants shall have the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a force majeure event, that the duration of the delay or the extension sought was or will be warranted under the circumstances, that best efforts were exercised to avoid and mitigate the effects of the delay, and that Defendants complied with the requirements of Paragraphs 54 and 55. If Defendants carry this burden, the delay at issue shall be deemed not to be a violation by Defendants of the affected obligation of this Consent Decree identified to EPA/CARB and the Court. IX. DISPUTE RESOLUTION 59. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Consent Decree, the dispute resolution procedures of this Section shall be the exclusive mechanism to resolve disputes arising under or with respect to this Consent Decree. Failure by the Defendants to seek resolution of a dispute under this Section shall preclude Defendants from raising any such issue as a defense to an action by the United States or California to enforce any obligation of Defendants arising under this Decree. 60. Informal Dispute Resolution.

The United States/California will respond to Defendants’ motion within the time period allowed by the Local Rules of the Court. Defendants may file a reply memorandum, to the extent permitted by the Local Rules. 65. Standard of Review for Judicial Disputes a. Disputes Concerning Matters Accorded Record Review.

For purposes of this subparagraph, EPA/CARB will maintain an administrative record of the dispute, which will contain all statements of position, including supporting documentation, submitted pursuant to this Section.

Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that any and all rules of construction to the effect that ambiguity is construed against the drafting party shall be inapplicable in any dispute concerning the terms, meaning, or interpretation of this Consent Decree. 67. The invocation of dispute resolution procedures under this Section shall not, by itself, extend, postpone, or affect in any way any obligation of Defendants under this Consent Decree, unless and until final resolution of the dispute so provides. Stipulated penalties with respect to the disputed matter shall continue to accrue from the first Day of noncompliance, but payment shall be stayed pending resolution of the dispute as provided in Paragraph 47.

PURPOSE The purpose of this Buyback, Lease Termination, Vehicle Modification, and Emissions Compliant Recall Program (“Recall Program”) is to remove 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles that emit nitrogen oxides (“NOx”) in excess of applicable standards from the roads and highways of the United States pursuant to EPA’s and CARB’s respective authorities under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and the California Health and Safety Code (“CHSC”). In order to achieve this CAA and CHSC remedy, EPA/CARB require Defendants to perform two vehicle recalls. First, for Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter Eligible Vehicles, Defendants must offer the Buyback or the Lease Termination, as defined below, for 100% of the Generation 1.x non-compliant Eligible Vehicles under terms described herein. In addition, if approved by EPA/CARB, Defendants may, consistent with the provisions in Appendix B of this Consent Decree, modify such vehicles to substantially reduce their NOx emissions in accordance with standards established by the agencies in this Consent Decree. Second, for Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, if proposed by Defendants and if approved by EPA/CARB, Defendants must offer an Emissions Compliant Recall to bring these vehicles into compliance with their Certified Exhaust Emission Standards consistent with the provisions in Appendix B of this Consent Decree. If Defendants are unable to effect a recall that meets Certified Exhaust Emission Standards for a particular Test Group or Test Groups of Generation 2.x vehicles within the timeframe and in accordance with the other requirements specified in Appendix B, Defendants must offer the Buyback and Lease Termination, as defined below, for 100% of the affected Generation 2.x non-compliant Eligible Vehicles under terms described herein and may, if proposed by Defendants and if approved by EPA/CARB consistent with the provisions in Appendix B, modify such vehicles to substantially reduce their NOx emissions in accordance with standards established by the agencies in this Consent Decree. This Recall Program establishes the enforceable rules by which Defendants shall make offers to Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees of Eligible Vehicles to repurchase, cancel leases for, or modify the 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles. Under this Recall Program and subject to the requirements contained in Section X of this Appendix A, Defendants shall remove from commerce and/or perform an Approved Emissions Modification on at least 85% of all Generation 1.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles no later than November 30, 2019. In addition, Defendants shall perform an Emissions Compliant Recall (or if no Emissions Compliant Recall is achieved, remove from commerce and/or perform an Approved Emissions Modification) on at least 85% of all Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles no later than May 31, 2020. If Defendants fail to achieve the required 85% Recall Rates, Defendants shall pay additional funds to the Environmental Mitigation Trust established pursuant to the First Partial Consent Decree, as described more fully below. Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 68 of 164 2 APPENDIX A TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) II. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Terms used in this Appendix A shall have the meanings set forth below. Terms that are not defined below but are defined in Section III of the Consent Decree (Definitions) including any of its Appendices shall have the meanings set forth therein. 2.2 “3.0 Liter Subject Vehicle” shall have the same meaning as is used in the Consent Decree. The term “Eligible Vehicles” used in this Appendix A refers only to a subset of 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles. 2.3 “Approved Emissions Modification” shall have the same meaning as is used in Appendix B of this Consent Decree. 2.4 “Buyback” shall mean the return of an Eligible Vehicle by an Eligible Owner to Defendants, under terms and in accordance with a process set forth in Appendix A-1 (or authorized by Section III of Appendix A-1) and consistent with this Appendix A, in exchange for a payment that equals or exceeds the Retail Replacement Value. 2.5 “Certified Exhaust Emissions Standards” means, for Generation 2.x 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles, emission standards that correspond to Tier 2 Bin 5 LEV2/ULEV standards as set forth in Appendix B. A 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicle is not necessarily covered by a Certificate of Conformity or Executive Order solely by virtue of meeting Certified Exhaust Emissions Standards. 2.6 “Dealerships” shall mean all authorized Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche dealerships in the United States as well as all independent Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche dealerships in the United States with which Defendants have a business relationship. 2.7 “Eligible Lessee” shall mean the current lessee or lessees of an Eligible Vehicle with an active lease issued by VW Credit, Inc. as of the date the lessee completes a lease termination. No person shall be considered an Eligible Lessee by virtue of holding a lease issued by a lessor other than VW Credit, Inc. 2.8 “Eligible Owner” means the owner or owners of an Eligible Vehicle on the day the Eligible Vehicle is sold to Defendants for the Buyback or receives an Emissions Compliant Recall or Approved Emissions Modification, except that the owner of an Eligible Vehicle who had an active lease issued by VW Credit, Inc. as of November 3, 2015, and purchased the previously leased Eligible Vehicle after the date this Consent Decree is lodged with the Court (“Off-Lease Owner” and “Date of Lodging”), shall not be an Eligible Owner, except that such Off-Lease Owner shall be entitled to an Emissions Compliant Recall or an Approved Emissions Modification pursuant to Paragraphs 5.1, 6.1, or 8.1 of this Appendix A as applicable.

IX. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATIONS AND EMISSIONS COMPLIANT RECALLS 9.1 Warranty. 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles receiving the Approved Emissions Modification or an Emissions Compliant Recall shall qualify for a warranty as described in Paragraph 3.9 of Appendix B (the “Warranty”). 9.2 Warranty Remedies. In addition to any protections provided by law (including those referenced in Paragraph 9.3 below), Defendants must reoffer and provide a Buyback or Lease Termination to any Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee of a Modified Vehicle (or in the case of an Approved Emissions Modification that qualifies as an Emissions Compliant Recall, must offer a Buyback or Lease Termination in the first instance) in the event that, during the 18 months or 18,000 miles following the completion of the Approved Emissions Modification (the “Reoffer Period”), Defendants fail to repair or remedy a confirmed mechanical failure or malfunction covered by the Warranty and associated with the Approved Emissions Modification or Emissions Compliant Recall (a “Warrantable Failure”) after the Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee physically presents the Modified Vehicle to a dealer for repair of the Warrantable Failure; and (1) the Warrantable Failure is unable to be remedied after making four separate service visits for the same Warrantable Failure during the Reoffer Period; or (2) the Modified Vehicle with the Warrantable Failure is out of service due to the Warrantable Failure for a cumulative total of 30 Days during the Reoffer Period. (For avoidance of doubt, a Modified Vehicle shall not be deemed “out of service” when, after diagnosing the Warrantable Failure, the dealer returns or tenders the Modified Vehicle to the customer while the dealer awaits necessary parts for the Warrantable Failure, and the Modified Vehicle remains Operable.) In such a case, the Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee of an Eligible Vehicle receiving an Approved Emissions Modification shall receive the payments that he or she would have received under the Buyback or the Lease Termination at the time the Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee first requested the Approved Emissions Modification less any payment amounts already received; or, in the case of an Emissions Compliant Recall, the Eligible Owner or Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 81 of 164 15 APPENDIX A TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) Eligible Lessee shall receive the payments that he or she would have been entitled to receive under Section VII of this Appendix A had a Final Notice of Disapproval been issued by EPA/CARB with respect to the proposed Emissions Compliant Recall, less any payment amounts already received. No Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee shall receive double-recovery of any portion of any payment. Defendants shall, as part of their reporting obligations in Paragraph 11.3 below, notify EPA/CARB and CA AG when any Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee participates in the Buyback or the Lease Termination under this Paragraph 9.2. 9.3 Preservation of Remedies. The Warranty shall be subject to any remedies provided by state or federal laws, such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that provide consumers with protections, including without limitation “Lemon Law” protections, with respect to warranties. 9.4 No Defense. Except in an action alleging noncompliance with the terms of the Consent Decree, nothing in this Consent Decree or its Appendices may be cited as a defense to liability arising out of the Approved Emissions Modification or the Emissions Compliant Recall. 9.5 Disclosure to Subsequent Purchasers. For each 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicle that receives the Approved Emissions Modification, Reduced Emissions Modification, or Emissions Compliant Recall, Defendants shall affix to the vehicle the applicable label approved by EPA/CARB in accordance with Appendix B. Defendants shall also provide subsequent purchasers of such 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles who purchase the vehicles from Dealerships the applicable Monroney fuel economy label for the vehicle as specified in Appendix B of this Consent Decree. In addition, Defendants shall make available online a searchable Emissions Modification and Compliant Emissions Recall Database by which users, including potential purchasers, may conduct a free-of-charge search by vehicle VIN to determine whether the Approved Emissions Modification, Reduced Emissions Modification, or Emissions Compliant Recall has been applied to a specific vehicle. This online access to the searchable Emissions Modification and Compliant Emissions Recall Database shall continue for a minimum of ten (10) years after the Effective Date of the Consent Decree. X.

Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 89 of 164 APPENDIX A-1 TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) Appendix A-1 Recall Program Administration   Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 90 of 164 1 APPENDIX A-1 TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) APPENDIX A-1 RECALL PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION I. CALCULATION OF RETAIL REPLACEMENT VALUE 1.1 Retail Replacement Value Components. For all 3.0 Liter Eligible Vehicles, and only for purposes of satisfying Defendants’ obligations under this Consent Decree, Retail Replacement Value shall be defined as equal to the sum of the following three components: (1) Vehicle Value, as described below; (2) State and Local Taxes Payment; and (3) Associated Owner Expenses. Each of the three components shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraphs 1.2-1.4 below. 1.2 Vehicle Value. The Vehicle Value for a given Eligible Vehicle shall equal the vehicle’s Base Value adjusted for OEM-installed NADA Options and NADA Mileage, as described below. 1.2.1 Base Value. Base Value shall be calculated as follows: 1.2.1.1 The Base Value for each Eligible Vehicle is, where available (including both Model Year (“MY”) vehicles before 2015 and certain MY 2015 vehicles), the Clean Retail value of the vehicle based on the NADA Vehicle Identification Code (VIC) for each Eligible Vehicle in the November 2015 NADA Used Car Guide (“NADA Guide”) published in or around October 2015. 1.2.1.2 For MY 2015 Eligible Vehicles for which no value was published in the NADA Guide as of November 2015 (MY 2015 Porsche Cayenne; Audi Q5 Premium Plus, Q5 Prestige, Q5 Prestige S; Volkswagen Touareg Executive, Touareg Lux, and Touareg Sport Technology), the Base Value shall be equal to 75.856% of MSRP for the Eligible Vehicle. This figure is derived by multiplying the MSRP for each individual vehicle by the average ratio of November 2015 Clean Retail values to average MSRPs for MY 2015 vehicles for which values were available (MY 2015 Audi A6 Premium Plus and A6 Prestige, A7 Premium Plus and A7 Prestige, A8, and Q5 Premium Plus). 1.2.1.3 Because no Clean Retail values for any MY 2016 vehicles were available in the NADA Guide, the Base Value for each MY 2016 Eligible Vehicle shall be set at 112.886% of the MY 2015 NADA Guide Clean Retail value (where available) or 112.886% of the MY 2015 calculated value, if the MY 2015 value is calculated in accordance with Sub-Paragraph 1.2.1.2 above. This number is Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 91 of 164 2 APPENDIX A-1 TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) derived by comparing the average MY 2014 to MY 2015 year-over-year growth in NADA Clean Retail price for vehicles for which MY 2015 values were available (MY 2015 Audi A6 Premium Plus and A6 Prestige, A7 Premium Plus and A7 Prestige, A8, and Q5 Premium Plus). 1.2.2 NADA Region. The Base Value for each Eligible Vehicle, excepting MY 2015 and MY 2016 vehicles with derived values, shall be determined using the NADA region that includes the state of the Eligible Vehicle’s last known vehicle registration as of November 2015. 1.2.3 NADA Options. Options adjustments to Base Values shall be determined by using Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche OEM-installed options, as valued by the November 2015 NADA Used Car Guide. Because no option values were published in the NADA Guide as of November 2015 for MY 2016 Eligible Vehicles, option adjustments to Base Value for MY 2016 vehicles will be determined by using Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche OEM-installed options, and valued based on MY 2015 NADA Guide as of November 2015 option values, adjusted to MY 2016 using the same methodology described in Sub-Paragraph 1.2.1.3 above. 1.2.4 NADA Mileage. Mileage adjustments to Base Values shall be determined based on the actual mileage at the time the vehicles are surrendered in the Buyback using the mileage adjustment table in the November 2015 NADA Used Car Guide with an allowance for standard NADA mileage of 12,500 miles per year, prorated monthly from November 2015 to the month of surrender. Because the November 2015 NADA used car guide does not include mileage tables for any MY 2016 vehicles, MY 2016 vehicles will not be subject to a mileage adjustment, unless authorized by Section III of this Appendix A-1. 1.3 State and Local Taxes Payment. The State and Local Taxes Payment shall equal a defined percentage of the Vehicle Value for each Eligible Vehicle, based on the vehicle’s state of registration as of November 2015. The applicable percentage or formula (“Combined Rate/Formula”) for each state is set forth in Appendix A-1 Table 1. For vehicles for which there was no known state of registration as of November 2015, an average percentage of 6% will be used. 1.4 Associated Owner Expenses. The Associated Owner Expenses shall equal $720 for all Eligible Vehicles. 1.5 Vehicle Buyback List. No later than 15 Days after the Effective Date, Defendants shall submit to EPA/CARB a list of all known 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles that existed as of November 2, 2015, and had been retailed to customers as of that date (“3.0 Liter Buyback List”).

II. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Claims Program. Defendants shall be responsible for establishing, funding, and executing the Claims Program to effect the Buyback and Lease Termination offers of the Recall Program. Such Claims Program will be established and administered under the supervision of an independent Program Supervisor, proposed by Defendants and agreed to by the United States and California prior to the Effective Date. The Claims Program shall be the process by which Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees obtain the Buyback and Lease Termination offers (“Program Offers”) required by Appendix A. The Claims Program shall be organized according to the requirements of this Section II of Appendix A-1. 2.1.1 Website and Registration. Defendants shall establish a website whereby Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees can provide their (i) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); (ii) name; (iii) email address; and (iv) zip code to receive relevant information about the Claims Program. All Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees who provide the information required by this paragraph shall receive periodic updates as necessary communicating relevant Claims Program dates, availability of Buyback and Lease Termination offers, and any ending dates for relevant Claims Program offers. 2.1.2 Call Center. Defendants shall establish a Call Center for Eligible Owners and Eligible Lessees to talk to a Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche representative for questions concerning the Claims Program. 2.2 Claimants. Eligible Owners and Lessees who have registered for the Claims Program shall be able to submit a claim online by uploading all necessary documents and information to a website portal for review and verification for eligibility. Once an Eligible Owner or Lessee has been verified by Defendants as eligible, he or she shall be considered a “Claimant.” 2.2.1 Non-Standard Claims. The Program Supervisor shall determine the required documentation for non-standard Claims, including but not limited to Claims involving military personnel serving overseas, decedent estates, divorce, bankruptcy, stolen vehicles, and payment of child support and family or attorney liens. 2.2.2 Loan Obligations. If the Eligible Vehicle is under an outstanding loan obligation at the time of a Buyback, Defendants shall communicate with the Claimant’s bank in advance of a Buyback, pursuant to a written consent form executed by the Claimant, to determine payoff amounts for loans. If an Eligible Owner electing a Buyback owes less than Retail Replacement Value on an Eligible Vehicle, Defendants shall pay that Eligible Owner’s lender the full amount required to pay off the outstanding loan obligation and shall remit the remainder of the Retail Replacement Value to the Eligible Owner. If the Eligible Owner owes more than Retail Replacement Value on the Eligible Vehicle, Defendants shall pay the Eligible Owner’s lender the Retail Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 93 of 164 4 APPENDIX A-1 TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) Replacement Value, and the Eligible Owner shall retain the obligation to fulfill any additional outstanding loan obligation at the time of the Buyback. 2.2.3 Formal Notification. Claimants whose eligibility has been verified by the Program Supervisor shall be sent a Formal Notification setting forth the Buyback or Lease Termination terms. Once a Formal Notification is made, a Claimant may choose to proceed by signing and notarizing an offer package and uploading it to the Claims Portal. 2.3 Appointments. Claimants shall be allowed to schedule an appointment at their preferred Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche dealership (corresponding to the make of the Eligible Vehicle) to complete the Claims Program and execute the Buyback or Lease Termination. Appointments for a Buyback shall be available within 90 days of a Claimant’s acceptance of the terms set forth in the Formal Notification and Defendants’ validation of the submitted offer package. Appointments for a Lease Termination shall be available within 45 days of acceptance. When the ability to schedule an appointment to obtain the selected remedy becomes available, the Claimant shall be notified and may then schedule the appointment online. 2.3.1 Scheduling. Appointments for Buybacks and Lease Terminations shall be made available on a first-come, first-served basis depending on the make of the Eligible Vehicle. Although the Buyback or Lease Termination will take place at a Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche dealer, the appointments must be scheduled either online through the Claims Portal or via phone at a number that will be displayed prominently on the Claims Program website. Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche dealers will not be able to schedule appointments for Buyback or Lease Termination directly. 2.3.2 Program Specialist. On the appointed day, Claimants will meet with a “Program Specialist” acting on behalf of Defendants at the Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche dealer to complete the Buyback or Lease Termination. The Program Specialist will verify the identity of the Claimant and Eligible Vehicle, capture the current mileage of the Eligible vehicle, collect necessary documentation, take possession of the Eligible Vehicle, and trigger payment to the Claimant (and lenders, if applicable) of any amount due. Claimants electing the Lease Termination option will need to comply with lease terms concerning mileage and condition verification prior to termination. 2.4 Form of Buyback Payment. Buyback payments in the amount of Retail Replacement Value shall be made to the Claimant by electronic funds transfer or by check according to the preference expressed by each Claimant. 2.4.1 Electronic Funds Transfer. An electronic fund transfer will be submitted within three banking days of completion of the Claims Program following sale of the Eligible Vehicle to Defendants. 2.4.2 Check Processing. For Claimants opting to receive a check, a check for the full amount due will be available at the dealership, unless a mileage adjustment is required. If an upward mileage adjustment is required (resulting in a lower payment), the Claimant will not receive a check at the dealer but will be sent a check within three Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 94 of 164 5 APPENDIX A-1 TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) banking days, or alternatively the Claimant can opt to reschedule the appointment. If a downward mileage adjustment is required (resulting in a higher payment), the Claimant will receive a check at the dealer that does not reflect the mileage adjustment and will be mailed an additional check within three banking days for the additional amount due as a result of the downward mileage adjustment. 2.4.3 Receipt. Claimants will be issued a receipt at the conclusion of their appointment at the Volkswagen, Audi, or Porsche dealership, including that they surrendered their Eligible Vehicle and providing specific information about exactly when and where their compensation will be received, as well as whom to call if it is not timely received. 2.5 Program Supervisor. The Claims Program shall be monitored by a Program Supervisor selected in accordance with Paragraph 2.5.2 below. In acting under this Consent Decree, the Program Supervisor is an agent of this Court, and solely the agent of this Court, and shall be accountable directly to this Court. With the exception of review of claims pursuant to Paragraph 2.5.3 below, the Program Supervisor shall not perform any of the claims processing functions associated with the Claims Program unless requested by or agreed to by the United States and California.

Defendants must measure, and provide to EPA and CARB, the fuel economy and emissions impacts of the Proposed Emissions Modification by using the FTP, US06, SC03, HWFET, and 20° F and 50° F FTP test cycles, based on A-to-B testing on the applicable A-to-B Fuel Economy Demonstration Vehicles that compares “Condition A” vehicles with “Condition B” vehicles as follows: Condition A vehicles are test vehicles with the Master Series Calibration installed and purposefully modified to represent on road emissions. At a minimum, this includes executing the procedure submitted by Defendants to EPA/CARB on November 28, 2016, or an alternative procedure subject to EPA/CARB approval. The Emission Control System Data Parameters must be recorded during all A-to-B comparison tests required under this subparagraph. Defendants must submit with each applicable Emissions Modification, a detailed description of the procedure that was executed when conducting the Condition A portion of these tests, including the Emission Control System Data Parameters, and, within ten (10) Days of EPA/CARB’s request, provide any software and other devices not within EPA/CARB’s reasonable possession, so that EPA/CARB are able to replicate Condition A. Condition B vehicles are test vehicles to which Defendants have applied the Proposed Emissions Modification. This comparison testing must be conducted on the same vehicle, and using the same testing parameters that could affect emissions, including but not limited to fuel. Defendants must conduct such test cycles on the A-to-B Emission and A-to-B Fuel Economy Demonstration Vehicles. The comparisons may be conducted in “D” mode. Defendants must provide all emissions and fuel consumption data for all cycles for the tests described in this subparagraph. Fuel economy must be calculated according to the vehicle specific five-cycle methodology described in 40 C.F.R. Part 600. Additionally, new fuel economy label values must be calculated based on the Proposed Emissions Modification. These fuel economy label values may be determined by applying a percentage difference between the fuel economy of the test vehicles for each Generation tested in Condition B above and the fuel economy of the same vehicle tested under Condition C, which is the Master Series Calibration as originally produced. The fuel economy label values will be calculated for each model type by applying the B-to-C percentage difference to all fuel economy test data used to determine the original fuel economy label values for all vehicles for such model type, unless Defendants choose to provide specific measurements for specific vehicle types. i. If the Defendants choose to utilize the percent difference from the B-to-C testing to determine the fuel economy label values, the Defendants must Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 118 of 164    17 APPENDIX B TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) make a reasonable attempt to provide to EPA and CARB a vehicle from the same configuration or sub-configuration, and for Generation 2 PC and Generation 2 SUV, with mileage that is within 4,000 miles of the mileage accumulated on the vehicle used to make the comparison. For Generation 1.1 and Generation 1.2, Defendants must provide a vehicle pursuant to section 3.1.14 within 10,000 miles of the mileage accumulated on the vehicle used to make the comparison. Such vehicle(s) submitted pursuant to this subparagraph shall be counted as test vehicles submitted to EPA/CARB pursuant to subparagraph 3.1.14. ii. As an alternative, Defendants have the option of providing to EPA/CARB the vehicle used to make this B-to-C comparison. 3.1.13 Labeling Requirements. Defendants must permanently affix the labels described in this subparagraph 3.1.13, and in the form approved by EPA/CARB, to each and every Modified Vehicle.

If any of the Final Submittal Deadlines below expire prior to the Date of Entry, such deadlines will be extended to fourteen (14) Days beyond the Date of Entry.  Generation Defendants’ Expected Submittal Date Defendants’ Final Submittal Deadline 1.1 August 25, 2017 November 10, 2017 1.2 August 25, 2017 November 10, 2017 2.1 February 24, 2017 May 12, 2017 2.2 SUV February 11, 2017 April 25, 2017 2 PC April 7, 2017 June 23, 2017 4.3 Emissions Modification Proposal, Part A: For any Emissions Modification Proposal, Defendants must submit the following information in a submission clearly marked as Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 125 of 164    24 APPENDIX B TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) “Proposed Emissions Modification, Part A: [corresponding test group or combination of test groups of 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicles].”   4.3.1 Applicable Required Emissions Performance. Statement specifying the applicable emissions standard or Maximum Emissions Modification Limits, as demonstrated by the Required Emissions Test Procedure results concerning the corresponding vehicles, in accordance with subparagraph 3.1.1, above. For Generation 2.1, Generation 2 PC, and/or Generation 2.2 SUV, Defendants may propose in a single Emissions Modification Proposal to comply with Tier 2/Bin 5 and LEV2/ULEV or, in the alternative, the applicable Maximum Emissions Modification Limits set forth in Appendix B-1 to this Appendix B.   4.3.2 Required Emissions Test Procedures and Data. All emissions data from a vehicle that has been modified pursuant to the Proposed Emissions Modification that demonstrates each of the following:  i. Compliance to the applicable emissions standard or Maximum Emissions Modification Limits. Defendants must make this demonstration with all data from emissions tests conducted according to the FTP, US06, SC03, and HWY FE, 20° F FTP (no specific compliance limits), and 50° F FTP (no specific compliance limits) test procedures specified in 40 C.F.R. Parts 86 and 600, and the applicable California regulations (the Required Emissions Test Procedures), including the Emission Control System Data Parameters, for all tests, and including any preconditioning tests. The FTP test must be performed at Sea Level and an FTP@1620m must also be performed. Defendants must conduct all tests in driving mode “D.” Consistent with the regulations, EPA/CARB may conduct tests in any driving mode, and noncompliance indicated by such tests may form the basis for disapproval. Defendants may conduct the Required Emissions Test Procedures in regular default mode only, provided that the worst-case configuration is selected (e.g., 4WD-capable vehicles must be tested with the vehicle in 4WD mode), and provided that any compliance tests conducted by EPA/CARB may be conducted in any user-selected mode, as allowed under EPA or CARB regulations. Such demonstration must account for emissions deterioration by conducting the Required Emissions Test Procedures on each Durability Demonstration Vehicle aged to the equivalent of Full Useful Life and must also account for IRAFs, as defined in Paragraph 2.50. For all Generations, a DF shall be calculated according to the requirements of this Appendix B. A DF slope shall be calculated using the incremental increase in NOx based on the delta between the 50K and 120K mile emissions values, and the DF shall be applied based on application of the DF slope to the mileage of the applicable test vehicle for vehicles with the equivalent of less than 120,000 miles. Defendants must conduct emissions demonstrations using only the applicable Durability Demonstration Vehicles and, subject to prior authorization from EPA/CARB, may precondition the test vehicle. Defendants must conduct Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 126 of 164    25 APPENDIX B TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) the Required Emissions Test Procedures and calculate the DF according to the following specifications: a. Generation 1.1 and Generation 1.2: Defendants may conduct the required tests using a vehicle with miles accumulated in- use of less than or greater than 60,000 miles. If less than 60,000, Defendants must age the vehicle with the installed Emissions Modification on the Customized SRC to the equivalent of Full Useful Life. If more than 60,000, Defendants must age the vehicle with the installed Emissions Modification on the Customized SRC for at least the equivalent of 60,000 miles, and treat the resulting mileage as Full Useful Life. For example, if the test vehicle has 50,000 miles, Defendants must install the Emissions Modification and age the vehicle for the equivalent of 70,000 miles, for a total of the equivalent of 120,000 miles. If the vehicle has 80,000 miles, Defendants must install the Emissions Modification and then age the vehicle for the equivalent of 60,000 miles for a total of the equivalent of 140,000 miles that will be treated as the equivalent of 120,000 miles. To generate the DF, Defendants must run emissions tests on the vehicles according to the following intervals: (1) as received, (2) at the Modified baseline, (3) at 30,000 miles, and (4) at 60,000 miles.

Except as otherwise provided herein, 75% of any stipulated penalties due under these subparagraphs shall be paid to the United States, and 25% shall be paid to CARB.  8.2.1. Failure to Disclose AECDs. If, after issuing a Notice of Approved Emissions Modification, EPA/CARB determine that Defendants failed to provide a complete list of each AECD and EI-AECD in the Emissions Modification Proposal that EPA/CARB approved, Defendants must pay to the United States and CARB a stipulated penalty of $150,000 for each AECD and $2,000,000 for each EI-AECD not included in the list.  8.2.2. Failure to Comply with Labeling Requirements. If Defendants fail to permanently affix a label to any 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicle, as required under subparagraph 3.1.13 before such vehicle is sold, leased, offered for sale or lease, otherwise introduced into commerce, or returned to the Eligible Owner or Eligible Case 3:15-md-02672-CRB Document 2520-1 Filed 12/20/16 Page 140 of 164    39 APPENDIX B TO SECOND PARTIAL CONSENT DECREE MDL No. 2672 CRB (JSC) Lessee, or if the information included in any label is incorrect, Defendants must pay to the United States and CARB a stipulated penalty of $15 per label, per vehicle, and for each Day that Defendants fail to apply the required label, provided that if Defendants affix the label within 30 Days of selling or leasing the vehicle or returning the vehicle to the Eligible Owner or Lessee, no stipulated penalty shall be required for that vehicle.  8.2.3. Failure to Perform Emissions Modification. If Defendants sell or lease, offer for sale or lease, or otherwise introduce into commerce, or return to an Eligible Owner or Lessee who requested an Emissions Modification, any 3.0 Liter Subject Vehicle that has not received the applicable Approved Emissions Modification, Defendants must (1) make a Mitigation Trust Payment to the Trust Account in accordance with the Consent Decree in the amount of $50,000 per vehicle; and (2) offer to buy back and terminate the leases for each and every such vehicle, in accordance with the terms and requirements of Appendix A of the Consent Decree. For each such vehicle that Defendants fail to buy back or execute a lease termination, as applicable, within 18 months following EPA/CARB’s demand for the stipulated remedy under this subparagraph, Defendants must pay a Mitigation Trust Payment to the Trust Account in accordance with the Consent Decree in the amount of $25,000 per vehicle.   8.2.4. Failure to Comply with the Applicable Emissions Standard or Limitation. If any test required under this Appendix B, or such other compliance test, as specified in this Appendix B and conducted by EPA/CARB, demonstrates that any Modified Vehicle Test Group exceeds the applicable emissions standard or Maximum Emissions Modification Limit, the following stipulated remedies apply.  i. Defendants must pay a Mitigation Trust Payment to the Trust Account in accordance with the Consent Decree, an amount based on Formula 1. The Mitigation Trust Payment amount shall be calculated based on the emissions exceedance demonstrated by testing conducted during the 1 year period preceding the EPA/CARB demand for payment. EPA/CARB may issue a separate demand for an additional Mitigation Trust Payment for each year in which the Modified Vehicle exceeds the applicable emissions limit. For Modified Vehicles that exceed more than one emissions limit, the amount of exceedance will be based on the greatest amount by which any emissions limit is exceeded. Formula 1 [Vehicles not removed from service (number of vehicles in the applicable Generation less the number of vehicles Defendants demonstrate are bought back and destroyed)] x [g/mile (amount of exceedance)] x [15,000 miles] x [grams to tons conversion factor] x [70,000] = [Mitigation Trust Payment in dollars] 8.2.5.
