Ladies and Gentlemen:

SECTION 1. Introduction. Verizon Master Trust (the “Trust”) proposes to issue $265,070,000 principal amount of its 5.61% Series 2023-5 Class A-1a Notes (the “Class A-1a Notes”), $113,600,000 principal amount of its Compounded SOFR + 0.68% Series 2023-5 Class A-1b Notes (the “Class A-1b Notes” and together with the Class A-1a Notes, the “Class A Notes”), $28,950,000 principal amount of its 5.85% Series 2023-5 Class B Notes (the “Class B Notes”) and $17,380,000 principal amount of its 6.09% Series 2023-5 Class C Notes (the “Class C Notes” and together with the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, the “Notes”). The Trust proposes to sell the Class A Notes and the Class C Notes in the amounts as set forth on Schedule I to the several underwriters (each, an “Underwriter”), for whom Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC are acting as representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”). The Depositor (as defined below) or an affiliate thereof intends to retain the Class B Notes on the Closing Date. The Class A Notes and the Class C Notes are hereinafter referred to as the “Underwritten Notes”. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture

Trustee”) and note paying agent. The assets of the Trust include, among other things, certain device payment plan agreements transferred to the Trust before, and from time to time after, the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Receivables”). The Receivables and related property have been transferred, and from time to time after the Closing Date, will be transferred to the Trust pursuant to a Transfer and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 4, 2021 (the “Omnibus Amendment”), among the Trust, the Depositor (as defined below), Verizon Wireless (as defined below), the Master Collateral Agent (as defined below), the Additional Transferor (as defined below) and the various originators from time to time party thereto (the “Transfer and Servicing Agreement”) among the Trust, Verizon ABS II LLC (the “Depositor”) and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon Wireless” or the “Sponsor”), as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), as marketing agent (in such capacity, the “Marketing Agent”) and as custodian. The Depositor acquired and will acquire the Receivables and related property pursuant to the terms of (i) the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment (the “Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement”) between the Depositor and the various originators from time to time party thereto and (ii) the Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment (the “Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement”) among the Depositor, the Servicer and Verizon DPPA Master Trust (the “Additional Transferor”). In addition, the Servicer services and will service the Receivables pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and has agreed to perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the Administration Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021 (the “Administration Agreement”) between the Trust and Verizon Wireless, as administrator. Furthermore, Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) entered into a Parent Support Agreement, acknowledged and agreed to by the Depositor, the Trust and the Master Collateral Agent (as defined below), dated as of May 25, 2021 and has guaranteed the payment obligations of the Originators and Verizon Wireless, in its capacities as Servicer and Marketing Agent. The Trust has contracted for the review of the Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties made about them in certain circumstances under an amended and restated asset representations review agreement, dated as of August 11, 2022 (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”) among the Trust, the Servicer and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as asset representations reviewer (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Collections on and proceeds of the Receivables are designated to different Groups under the Master Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended by the Omnibus Amendment and the Second Omnibus Amendment (as defined below), among the Trust, Verizon Wireless, as Servicer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as master collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Master Collateral Agent”), and the Creditor Representatives from time to time party thereto (the “Master Collateral Agreement”). Collections on and proceeds of the Receivables designated to Group 1 (as such term is defined in the Indenture) will be applied to make payments on the Notes. Any reference to Receivables in this Agreement will refer to the Receivables designated to Group 1.

The Trust was formed by the Depositor pursuant to a trust agreement and is governed by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated as of May 25, 2021 between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the “Owner

Trustee”), as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment No. 2, dated as of August 11, 2022 (the “Second Omnibus Amendment”), among the Trust, the Master Collateral Agent, the Owner Trustee, Verizon DPPA True-up Trust, the Depositor and Verizon Wireless. The Class A Certificate and the Class B Certificate (collectively, the “Certificates”), representing the equity interest in the Trust, were issued to the Depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement and are held by the Depositor and the nominee of the Originators, which nominee is also the sole equityholder of the Additional Transferor.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) are defined in Appendix A to the Master Collateral Agreement or in the Indenture, as applicable, or if not defined therein, then as defined in the Prospectus (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Transaction Documents” refers to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, the Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Parent Support Agreement, the Master Collateral Agreement, the Group 1 Supplement to the Master Collateral Agreement, the Marketing Agent Agency Agreement, the Account Control Agreement, the Series 2023-5 Account Control Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement, and the Depository Agreement.

At or prior to the time and date when the first Contract of Sale (as defined below) for the Underwritten Notes was entered into by the Underwriters, which was 3:31 p.m. (New York time) on September 12, 2023 (the “Time of Sale”), the Depositor had prepared (i) the preliminary prospectus, dated September 6, 2023 (subject to completion), filed with the Commission on September 6, 2023 pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Act (“Rule 424(h)”) (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and (ii) a free writing prospectus, dated September 6, 2023, and filed with the Commission on September 6, 2023 pursuant to Rule 433 (the “Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with the Preliminary Prospectus and written communications constituting a bona fide electronic road show within the meaning of Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the “Time of Sale Information”). If, subsequent to the Time of Sale and prior to the Closing Date, such Time of Sale Information includes an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Underwriters terminate their old “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act) (“Contracts of Sale”) and enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Underwritten Notes, then the “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into such new Contract of Sale in an amended preliminary prospectus approved by Verizon Wireless, the Depositor and the Representatives that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a “Corrected Prospectus”) and “Time of Sale” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.

The Notes will be offered pursuant to the prospectus dated September 12, 2023 (as amended or supplemented and including all documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus, the “Prospectus”) relating to the Notes.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. As a condition of the several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the respective principal amount of each class of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, Verizon Wireless makes the representations and warranties set forth below to each of the Representatives and each of the Underwriters on and as of the date hereof.

(i) A shelf registration statement on Form SF‑3 (Registration No. 333-253034), including a form of prospectus, relating to the Notes has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 12, 2021, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on April 5, 2021, has been declared effective under the Securities Act, and is not proposed to be amended.

The registration statement, as amended at its Effective Time, including all information incorporated by reference and deemed to be a part of such registration statement as of the Effective Time of such registration statement (if any) pursuant to Rule 430D under the Securities Act (“Rule 430D”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”. Prior to the Time of Sale, the Depositor had prepared the Time of Sale Information.

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 10 of Form SF‑3, which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to documents and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “stated,” “described” or “referred to” in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such documents and schedules and other information, which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

(ii) (A) On the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement complied and (B) on the date of this Agreement, the Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), and at such times did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading; provided, however, that

Verizon Wireless does not make any representation or warranty with respect to (A) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Verizon Wireless by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use in the preparation thereof which information consists solely of the information set forth in the fifth and sixth paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (the “Underwriters’ Information”) or (B) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute a Statement of Qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”) on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”) of any Indenture Trustee.

(iii) The Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date, and the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale, did not, and as of the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Verizon Wireless does not make any representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information.

(iv) At the time of the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), the Prospectus did conform, and as of the Closing Date, the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not, or will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Verizon Wireless does not make any representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information.

(v) Since the respective dates of the Time of Sale Information there has not been any material adverse change in the business, business prospects, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Verizon Wireless and its subsidiaries, including the Depositor and the Trust, taken as a whole, other than as set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Representatives prior to the date hereof.

(vi) Other than the Time of Sale Information, certain Intex.cdi files relating to the Receivables, the Prospectus, the Bloomberg Screen filed with the Commission as a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on September 12, 2023 (the “First Bloomberg Screen”), the Bloomberg Screen filed with the Commission as a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on September 12, 2023 (the “Second Bloomberg Screen”), the Trust (including its agents and representatives other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), including any document or other material which would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that would be required to be filed with the

Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy the Underwritten Notes.

(vii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the 1939 Act.

(viii) Each of the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus, the First Bloomberg Screen and the Second Bloomberg Screen contained a legend substantially in the form of and in compliance with Rule 433(c)(2)(i) of the Securities Act, and shall otherwise conform to any requirements for “free writing prospectuses” under the Securities Act.

(x) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than documents filed by Persons other than the Depositor), when they became or become effective under the Securities Act or were or are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(xi) Neither the Trust nor the Depositor is required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Trust will rely on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act contained in Section 3(c)(5) under the Investment Company Act, although additional exclusions or exemptions may also be available to the Trust. The Trust is structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

(xii) None of the Trust, the Depositor or Verizon Wireless has received an order from the Commission, any state securities commission or any foreign government or agency thereof preventing or suspending the offering of the Underwritten Notes, and to the best knowledge of Verizon Wireless, no such order has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted.

Verizon Wireless is the party responsible for compliance with Rule 17g-5 in connection with the issuance and monitoring of the credit ratings of the Notes.

SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Underwritten Notes. (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Trust agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust the respective principal amount of each class of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the product of “Price %” as specified on Schedule II hereto and the principal amount of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes shall be made at the offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at or about 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on September 20, 2023 (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representatives and the Trust, the “Closing Date”). Delivery of one or more global notes representing the Underwritten Notes shall be made against payment of the aggregate purchase price in immediately available funds drawn to the order of the Trust. The global notes to be so delivered shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The interests of beneficial owners of the Underwritten Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive Notes representing the Underwritten Notes will be available only under limited circumstances, as described in the Prospectus.

(b) The Trust hereby acknowledges that the payment of monies pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (a “Payment”) by or on behalf of the Underwriters of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Underwritten Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Underwritten Notes. Only the execution and delivery, by electronic mail, verbal confirmation or otherwise, of a receipt for Underwritten Notes by the Representatives, prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Underwritten Notes from the Trust. Furthermore, in the event that the Underwriters make a Payment to the Trust prior to the completion of the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes, the Trust hereby acknowledges that until the Representatives execute and deliver such receipt for the Underwritten Notes prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, the Trust will not be entitled to the Payment and the Trust shall return the Payment to the Underwriters as soon as practicable (by wire transfer of same-day funds) upon demand. In the event that the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes is not completed and the Payment is not returned by the Trust to the Underwriters on the same day the Payment was received by the Trust, the Trust agrees to pay to the Underwriters in respect of each day the Payment is not returned by it, in same-day funds, interest on the amount of such Payment in an amount representing the Underwriters’ cost of financing as reasonably determined by the Representatives.

(c) It is understood that any Representative or any Underwriter, individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payments on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Underwritten Notes to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters. No such Payment shall relieve such Underwriter or Underwriters from any of its or their obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. Offering by Underwriters. Upon the authorization by the Representatives of the release of the Underwritten Notes, the several Underwriters propose to offer the

Underwritten Notes for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Prospectus.

(a) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Trust and Verizon Wireless that:

(b) Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Verizon Wireless, each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and each person, if any, who controls Verizon Wireless within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in connection with defending or investigating such action or claim), joint or several, to which Verizon Wireless or any such director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, or (B) the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but (i) with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information and (ii) with respect to any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any statement in or omission from each Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus other than any statements in or omission from such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by Verizon Wireless expressly for use therein, (B) information accurately extracted from the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by Verizon Wireless to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or (C) Issuer Information (except for information regarding the status of the subscriptions for the Notes). Each Underwriter shall, severally and not jointly, reimburse, as incurred, each such indemnified party for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(c) In case any Proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph

(a) or (b) of this Section 9, such person (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnified party”) shall, promptly after receipt by such party of notice of the commencement of such action, notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnifying party”), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 9. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel to such indemnifying party if otherwise reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of any such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated in writing by the Representatives in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (iv) the indemnifying party has elected to assume the defense of such Proceeding but has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of Underwritten Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Verizon Wireless on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering of the Underwritten Notes (net of total fees, discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters (the “Spread”) and before deducting expenses) received by Verizon Wireless (including for such purpose, the value of the Certificates) bear to the Spread. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Verizon Wireless or the Underwriters, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Verizon Wireless and the Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the amount by which the Spread received by such Underwriter in connection with the initial offering of such Underwritten Notes exceeds the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion to their respective principal amount of Underwritten Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director or partner, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of Verizon Wireless, and each person, if any, who controls Verizon Wireless within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as Verizon Wireless.

SECTION 10. Defaults by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriter(s) fail(s) to purchase and pay for any of the class of Underwritten Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter(s) hereunder as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, and such failure constitutes a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriter(s) shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions that the amount of Underwritten Notes of such class set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Underwritten Notes of such class set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriter(s)) the Underwritten Notes of such class that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Notes of such class that the defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the class of Underwritten Notes agreed to be purchased, such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) shall have the right to purchase all of the Underwritten Notes of such class (in the respective proportions that the amount of the Underwritten Notes of such class set forth opposite their names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate amount of Underwritten Notes of such class set forth opposite the names of all of the remaining Underwriter(s)) but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any of the Underwritten Notes of such class, and, if such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) does not purchase all of the remaining Underwritten Notes of such class, each of the Trust and Verizon Wireless shall have the right, within the succeeding 24 hours, to make arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriter(s) for the purchase of such Underwritten Notes, including by retaining such Underwritten Notes for Verizon Wireless’ or an Affiliate’s own account or locating another Underwriter, satisfactory to the remaining Underwriter(s), to purchase such remaining Underwritten Notes. If such non-defaulting Underwriter(s) does not purchase all the Underwritten Notes and either the Trust or Verizon Wireless does not make arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriter(s) for purchase of the Underwritten Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the remaining Underwriter(s), the Trust and Verizon Wireless shall determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter(s) of any liability to the Trust, Verizon Wireless, their Affiliates and any non-defaulting Underwriter(s) for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

SECTION 11. Obligations Solely Contractual in Nature. Each of the Trust and Verizon Wireless acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters’ responsibility to the Trust and Verizon Wireless is solely contractual in nature, that the Underwriters have acted at arms’ length and are not agents of the Trust or Verizon Wireless, that the Underwriters shall owe the Trust and Verizon Wireless only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and none of the Underwriters or their Affiliates shall be acting in a fiduciary or advisory capacity, or otherwise owe any fiduciary or advisory duty, to the Trust, Verizon Wireless or any other Person in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Trust or Verizon Wireless. Each of the Trust and Verizon Wireless waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from the alleged breach of a fiduciary duty in

connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes. Each of the Trust and Verizon Wireless further agrees that it is not relying on any of the Underwriters for any legal, regulatory, tax, insurance or accounting advice in any jurisdiction and that the Trust and Verizon Wireless will consult with its own advisors as to such matters.

SECTION 12. Notices. Any notice or notification in any form to be given under this Agreement may be delivered in person or sent by mail or electronic transmission addressed to:

No purchaser of Underwritten Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor because of such purchase.

(f) The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and other statements of Verizon Wireless, its officers and the several Underwriters set forth in or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation as to the results thereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes.
