In connection with the foregoing, the parties have determined to amend and restate the original Trust Agreement on the terms in this Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

(xiii) not seek or obtain credit or incur any obligation to any third party based upon the assets of the Depositor, the Administrator, any Certificateholder or any other Person, or induce any third party to rely on the creditworthiness of the Depositor, the Administrator, any Certificateholder or any other Person in connection therewith;

Section 2.5 Contribution and Transfer of Trust Property; Additional Contributions. As of the date of the formation of the Issuer, the Depositor contributed to the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee acknowledged receipt of, the amount of $1, which is the initial Trust Property. Upon the formation of the Issuer by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to this Section and until the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Issuer. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will transfer to the Issuer the Initial Trust Property in exchange for the Notes and Certificates under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. In addition, from time to time, the True Up Trust, as the Class A Certificateholder may, at its sole option, make a capital contribution to the Issuer and deposit amounts into the Acquisition Account.

Section 2.6 Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee will hold the Trust Property in trust under this Agreement for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders and subject to the obligations of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. The parties intend that the Issuer is a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and that this Agreement is the governing instrument of the statutory trust. The Owner Trustee will have the rights, powers and obligations in this Agreement and in the Delaware Statutory Trust Act for accomplishing the purposes of the Issuer and engaging in Permitted Activities. The parties intend that the activities of the Issuer be managed by the Administrator under the Administration Agreement. A Certificate of Trust substantially in the form of Exhibit A has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Section 2.7 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Liability of Certificateholders. No Certificateholder shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Issuer, solely by reason of it being a Certificateholder.

(b) Liability to Third Parties. Except as stated in this Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Administrator or their Affiliates or any of their directors, managers, officers or employees will be liable for the Issuer’s debts, obligations or liabilities.

Section 2.8 Title to Trust Property.

(a) Title Vested in Issuer. Legal title to the Trust Property will be vested in the Issuer as a separate legal entity, except where applicable Law in a jurisdiction requires title to the Trust Property to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be vested in the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, a co-trustee and/or a separate trustee appointed under this Agreement.

The Issuer will not have employees, except that Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as Owner Trustee or another capacity, may have employees within or outside the State of Delaware. The Issuer will only receive payments in or make payments from the State of Delaware or the State in which the Indenture Trustee is located. The Issuer’s principal office will be in care of the Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

Section 2.10 Depositor’s Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee as of the Closing Date:

(a) Organization and Good Standing.

(b) Due Qualification. The Depositor is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company (or is exempt from such requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses or approvals, except where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Depositor.

(d) No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits, investigations or other proceedings pending, or to its knowledge threatened, against the Depositor or any of its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement; (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that

might have a Material Adverse Effect on the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement.

(e) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given to it in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Depositor, in each case, have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect, except for those which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes, when duly executed and delivered by each other party hereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(g) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, and the performance by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Depositor, (i) do not contravene (A) its limited liability company agreement, (B) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property, or (C) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, except, in each case of (A), (B) or (C), where such contravention would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) do not result in or require the creation of any adverse claim upon or with respect to any of its properties.

(h) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, the performance by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Depositor will not violate any Law applicable to the Depositor, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 2.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Treatment. The parties hereto hereby agree, for U.S. federal, state and local income, franchise and other tax purposes (including any tax measured in whole or in part by reference to income): (1) the Issuer is to be characterized as a mere security device formed to hold the Receivables and issue Notes and Certificates, (2) each Class of Notes, other than Notes held by the True Up Trust, is intended to be treated as indebtedness, and (3) Notes held by the True Up Trust shall be treated as not outstanding. The Depositor and the True Up Trust agree, and the Noteholders by acceptance of their Notes agree in the Indenture, to this treatment and each agrees not to take any action inconsistent with this treatment.

(b) Filing of Returns. The parties agree that, unless required by the tax authorities, Cellco, on behalf of the Issuer, will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file or cause to be filed any required annual or other tax and information returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterizations described in Section 2.11(a), and fulfill any other reporting requirements relating to the Issuer, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations

(including Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7), including causing such tax and information returns to be signed in the manner required by Law.

(c) Elections. The Owner Trustee will not elect or cause the Issuer to elect, and no Certificateholder will elect or permit an election to be made, to treat the Issuer as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulation §301.7701-3. If the Issuer is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Cellco will be designated as the “partnership representative” and will or will cause the Issuer, to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code for the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action necessary or appropriate for the election. Cellco is authorized to take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Issuer’s activities under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including any other Code provisions for the same subject matter, and any related regulations (adopted or proposed) and administrative guidance, provided such actions are consistent with the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE III
CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

Section 3.1 The Certificates. The Class A Certificate and the Class B Certificate, each evidencing a beneficial interest in the Issuer, shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates.

The Certificates may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2 hereto, as applicable. The Class A Certificate shall be issued in a Percentage Interest of 100.00%. The Class B Certificate shall be issued with a Class B Certificate Principal Balance initially of $0, which may be increased up to an amount equal to the Additional Receivables Transfer Amount for any Acquisition Date, as set forth in Section 3.10 and shall not bear interest.

A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.3.

The Certificateholders will receive any amounts (i) not needed on a Payment Date to pay the Notes and the Issuer’s other obligations under the Indenture, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, (ii) remaining in the Reserve Account, the Acquisition Account and the Negative Carry Account after payment in full of the Notes, and (iii) received in respect of Temporarily Excluded Receivables.

Section 3.2 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Certificates. Concurrently with the transfer of the Initial Receivables to the Issuer pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered, on behalf of the Issuer to, or upon the written order of, the Depositor, the Class A Certificate and the Class B Certificate. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer, and such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. The Owner Trustee shall be the initial authenticating agent of the Issuer hereunder.

Section 3.3 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. During the Amortization Period, any Certificateholder will be permitted to sell, transfer, assign or convey its Certificate if the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) The Issuer appoints the Owner Trustee to be the “Trust Registrar” and to keep a register (the “Trust Register”) of the Certificateholders and transfers of the Certificates. If the Trust Registrar resigns, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make the appointment, assume the obligations of Trust Registrar. The Trust Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.5, a Trust Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate in compliance with Section 3.3(f) at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Certificateholder, such Certificateholder’s Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates upon surrender of such Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.5. The preceding provisions of this Section 3.3 notwithstanding, (i) the Owner Trustee shall not make, and the Trust Registrar shall not register, transfers or exchanges of Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificates and (ii) the Owner Trustee shall permit the registration, transfer and exchange of (x) the Class A Certificate only in a minimum denomination of a Percentage Interest of 100.00% and (y) the Class B Certificate only to the Depositor and to the holder of the Class A Certificate. Any Class B Certificate transferred to the holder of the Class A Certificate shall be treated as merging into and becoming part of the Class A Certificate. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form X-0 XXX, X-0 ECI or W-9, as applicable, and such other documentation as may be required by the Owner Trustee in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, each in a form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Trust Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for

registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Trust Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. No transfer will be effectuated hereunder unless the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required hereunder.

(c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Trust Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or its attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

(d) No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless the Owner Trustee shall have received:

(1) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the effect that:

(i) such transferee is not acquiring and will not hold the Certificate on behalf of any beneficial owner (as determined for U.S. tax purposes), including itself, that is a Non-U.S. Person; and

(ii) such transferee is not a Benefit Plan;

(2) a representation from the transferor of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D; and

(3) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Owner Trustee that the transfer of such Certificate is being made pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Certificate to a Non-U.S. Person or to or on behalf of a Benefit Plan or utilizing the assets of a Benefit Plan shall be void and of no effect.

To the extent permitted under applicable Law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Owner Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.3(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Certificateholder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Certificateholder under the provisions of this Trust Agreement or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trust Registrar or the Owner Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee (or the Certificate Paying Agent) or the Trust Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(f) No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made unless (i) the holder of such Certificate shall have first surrendered such Certificate to the Trust Registrar for

registration of transfer, or (ii) in the case of any such Certificate which shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the holder of such Certificate shall have first complied with the applicable provisions of Section 3.4.

Section 3.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificate. If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Trust Registrar, or if the Trust Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Trust Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 3.5 [Reserved].

Section 3.6 Persons Deemed Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Trust Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Trust Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Trust Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of a request therefor from the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list, in such form as the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If one or more Certificateholders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Percentage Interest apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 3.8 Regarding the Certificate. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate issued hereunder, represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the

Owner Trustee or any other person, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own investment decision in respect of the Certificate. Each Certificateholder also represents that it will, independently and without reliance on the Owner Trustee or any other person, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Trust Agreement and in connection with its Certificate. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Certificateholders by the Owner Trustee hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Certificateholder with any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, the Issuer, the Depositor or any other parties hereto, or with any related documents which may come into the possession of the Owner Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or attorneys-in-fact.

Section 3.9 Initial Registration of Certificates. The Class A Certificate, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate representing a fully registered, definitive trust certificate and shall be registered in the name of “Verizon DPPA True-up Trust,” as the initial registered owner thereof. The Class B Certificate, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate representing a fully registered, definitive trust certificate and shall be registered in the name of “Verizon ABS LLC,” as the initial registered owner thereof.

Section 3.10 Increases and Decreases in the Class B Certificate Principal Balance and the Equity Interest of the Class A Certificate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Transfer Agreements, on any Acquisition Date on which (i) the Depositor acquires Additional Receivables under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement from any Originators, and the Issuer subsequently acquires such Additional Receivables from the Depositor, and (ii) the Additional Receivables Cash Transfer Amount for such Acquisition Date is less than the Additional Receivables Transfer Amount set forth in the Transfer Notice delivered for such Acquisition Date, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, will increase the Class B Certificate Principal Balance on such Acquisition Date in an amount equal to the excess of the Additional Receivables Transfer Amount over the Additional Receivables Cash Transfer Amount, as set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as partial consideration for the transfer and assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of the Additional Receivables set forth on the Transfer Notice for such Acquisition Date. On any Acquisition Date on which the Class B Certificate Principal Balance is increased, the Class B Certificateholder will make a distribution to the Class A Certificateholder, in an amount equal to such increase as partial consideration for the transfer and assignment by the related Originators to the Depositor of the Additional Receivables set forth on the Transfer Notice for such Acquisition Date, as set forth in Section 2.2(b) of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, which will result in an increase in the value of the beneficial interest in the Issuer represented by the Class A Certificate. Upon such distribution by the Class B Certificateholder to the Class A Certificateholder of the amounts set forth in this Section 3.10, the Class B Certificate Principal Balance will be deemed to be zero. The Trust Registrar will record such increases and decreases to the Class B Certificate Principal Balance in the Trust Register and on Schedule I to the Class B Certificate on each Acquisition Date upon receipt of written instructions from the Administrator, which may be in the form of the Transfer Notice attached as Exhibit A to each of the Receivables Transfer Agreements.

Section 3.11 Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Owner Trustee shall act as the initial Certificate Paying Agent. Each Certificate Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee. In the event that the Owner Trustee shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.3, 6.6, 7.1 and 7.2 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other Certificate Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-Certificate Paying Agent unless the context requires otherwise.

ARTICLE IV
APPLICATION OF TRUST PROPERTY

Section 4.1 Application of Trust Property.

(a) Establishment of Certificate Distribution Account. The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain (or shall cause to be established and maintained) in the name of the Issuer a non-interest bearing trust account (the “Certificate Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Issuer shall possess all right, title and interest in funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in the proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If, at any time, the Owner Trustee ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Owner Trustee (or the Depositor on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Certificate Distribution Account is not then held by the Owner Trustee or an Affiliate thereof) shall cause the Certificate Distribution Account to be moved to a Qualified Institution and shall transfer any cash to such new Certificate Distribution Account. All amounts held in the Certificate Distribution Account will not be invested.

(b) Distributions Under Indenture; Method of Payment. Before the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, all distributions of Trust Property, including any distributions to the Certificateholders, will be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account according to Article VIII of the Indenture and will be distributed on each Payment Date to the Certificateholders pursuant to the priorities listed below. In addition, on each Payment Date, (i) investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on the Collection Account, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account and the Negative Carry Account, as set forth in Section 4.2(e) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, (ii) Collections relating to Temporarily Excluded Receivables, (iii) amounts released from the Negative Carry Account pursuant to Section 4.4(c)(iii) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and (iv) amounts released from the Acquisition Account pursuant to Section 4.4(d)(iii) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement will be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account and subsequently will be distributed to the Certificateholders in the following order of priority:

(1) first, to the Class B Certificate, until the Class B Certificate Principal Balance has been reduced to zero; and

(2) second, to the Class A Certificate, any remaining amounts.

On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall deliver to the Certificateholders a copy of the Monthly Investor Report provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.5(a) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date. The Monthly Investor Report will be posted to the Owner Trustee website at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. Distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date either by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Trust Register or by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account specified to the Certificate Paying Agent in writing of any Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Trust Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date.

(c) Distributions Following Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and after all amounts due and payable to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof and not previously paid under Section 8.2 of the Indenture are paid out of the Trust Property, the Owner Trustee will distribute the remaining Trust Property as directed by the Class A Certificateholder.

(d) Funds Deposited with Owner Trustee. All funds deposited with the Owner Trustee may be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and are not required to be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by Law or the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Withholding Tax. If federal withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholders made by the Owner Trustee, that tax will reduce the amount distributable to the holder. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to retain from amounts distributable to the Certificateholders a sufficient amount for the payment of the withholding tax that is legally owed by the Issuer. The Owner Trustee may contest the tax and withholding payment of the tax, if permitted by Law, pending the outcome. The amount of

withholding tax imposed on the Certificateholders will be treated as cash distributed to the Certificateholders at the time it is withheld by the Issuer and paid to the taxing authority. If any Certificateholder seeks to apply for a refund of the applicable withholding tax, the Owner Trustee will cooperate with the holder in making the claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for expenses incurred in cooperating.

Section 4.2 Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Administrator will (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Issuer on a fiscal year basis or a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1s to an IRS Tax Form 1065, if the Issuer is treated as a partnership) to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns, and (c) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 4.1(e) with respect to income or distributions to the Certificateholders. The Administrator will make any elections as so directed by the Class A Certificateholder; provided, however, that neither the Administrator nor any Certificateholder shall make any election to have the Issuer treated as a corporation for federal, state or local income or franchise tax purposes.

Section 5.6 Action on Administrator’s Instruction. If (a) the Owner Trustee is unsure of the application of a term of a Transaction Document, (b) a term of a Transaction Document is, or appears to be, in conflict with another term, (c) this Agreement permits a determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is unclear about the action the Owner Trustee is required to take or (d) the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative actions permitted or required by a Transaction Document, the Owner Trustee may, and for clause (d) will, notify the Administrator requesting instruction on the matter. If the Owner Trustee acts or does not act in good faith according to the instruction received, the Owner Trustee will not be liable for the action or inaction. If the Owner Trustee does not receive instruction before ten (10) days after it has notified the Administrator (or sooner if reasonably requested in the notice or necessary under the circumstances) it may, but is not obligated to, take or not take the action that it considers to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and will not be liable for the action or inaction.

The right of the Owner Trustee to perform a discretionary act stated in a Transaction Document will not be interpreted as an obligation. There are no implied obligations of the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Owner Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or the Certificateholders, it is hereby understood and agreed by the other parties hereto that all such duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and liabilities of the Owner Trustee expressly set forth in this Agreement.

L. 107 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) and its implementing regulations (collectively, USA PATRIOT Act), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) Customer Due Diligence Requirements and such other laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (“Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law”), requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

The Owner Trustee may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected and indemnified in relying on, any information received, and failure to provide such information may result in an inability of the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may result in the immediate resignation of the Owner Trustee, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to Section 9.2(e).

Section 6.9 Persons Deemed Beneficial Owners and Control Parties. The parties hereto agree that for purposes of Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, (a) each Certificateholder owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the beneficial interest in the Issuer is and shall be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Issuer for purposes of providing the information required under Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law, and (b) each such

Certificateholder and the Administrator is and shall deemed to be the parties with the power and authority to control the Issuer.

The Issuer will reimburse the Owner Trustee for its reasonable expenses in performing its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee’s agents, counsel and advisors, but excluding expenses resulting from the Owner Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence (other than errors in judgment). These amounts will be paid to the Owner Trustee as set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

Section 7.2 Indemnification of Owner Trustee.

These amounts will be paid to the Owner Trustee as set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.

If there is a conflict, the Issuer will pay for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person. No settlement of a Proceeding may be made without the approval of the Issuer and the Indemnified Person, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.2 will survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and the termination of this Agreement.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT VERIZON DPPA TRUE UP TRUST is the registered owner of 100% of the nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided beneficial interest in Verizon Owner Trust 2018-A (the “Issuer”) formed by Verizon ABS LLC.

The Issuer was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2018 (as amended and supplemented, including the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of October 10, 2018, the “Trust Agreement”), between Verizon ABS LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, as Owner Trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below.

It is the intent of the Depositor, Cellco and the Certificateholders that, for U.S. federal, state and local income, franchise and other tax purposes (including any tax measured in whole or in part by reference to income) the Issuer is to be characterized as a mere security device formed to hold the Trust Property and issue the Notes. Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest on a Certificate, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Issuer as a mere security device formed to hold the Trust Property securing the Notes for such tax purposes.

Distributions on this Class A Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement by wire transfer or check mailed to the Class A Certificateholder without the presentation or surrender of this Class A Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Class A Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Certificate at the office or agency of the Owner Trustee designated in such notice.

Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest in a Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States, federal or state bankruptcy or similar Law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Class A Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee or an authenticating agent, by manual signature, this Class A Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

THIS CLASS A CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

In addition, this Class A Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents.

B-1-6

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Issuer created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Indenture and the disposition of all Trust Property. The True Up Trust, as Class A Certificateholder, may at its option, and with the consent of the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, acquire the Receivables at a price specified in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and any such acquisition of the Receivables and other property of the Issuer will effect a redemption of the Notes, in whole but not in part, and an early retirement of the Class A Certificate; however, such right of acquisition is exercisable only on a Payment Date after the last day of the Collection Period as of which the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance as of the Closing Date.
