VZMT RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of November 8, 2021 (this “Agreement”), among VERIZON MASTER TRUST, a Delaware statutory
trust (“VZMT”), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP d/b/a VERIZON WIRELESS, a Delaware general partnership (“Cellco”) and VERIZON ABS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”).
BACKGROUND
In the normal course of its business, VZMT acquires from Verizon DPPA Master Trust and certain originators device payment plan agreements under
contracts entered into by such originators or Verizon Wireless Services, LLC or another affiliate of such originators, as agent of each originator.
In connection with a securitization transaction sponsored by Cellco in which Verizon Owner Trust 2020-A, as issuer (the “Issuer”), issued
Notes secured by a pool of Receivables consisting of device payment plan agreements, VZMT has determined to transfer pools of Receivables and related property from time to time to the Depositor, who will subsequently transfer them to the Issuer.
The parties agree as follows:

Section 2.1. Transfers and Absolute Assignments of VZMT Transferred Property.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Transfers and Absolute Assignments of Additional Receivables. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.1(d), effective on each Acquisition Date, VZMT will transfer and absolutely assign to the
Depositor, without recourse (other than the obligations of the Servicer with respect to such Receivables under this Agreement), all of VZMT’s right, title and interest, whether then owned or later acquired, in the related Additional Receivables
acquired by it from time to time from various Originators and the other related VZMT Transferred Property. The Administrator, with the assistance of VZMT, will select each pool of Additional Receivables to be transferred and assigned by VZMT and
acquired by the Depositor (and subsequently the Issuer) on each Acquisition Date, which Receivables will be set forth in the electronic file
1
containing the Schedule of Receivables delivered on the date of the Transfer Notice for such Acquisition Date.
(c) No Assumption of Obligations. These transfers and absolute assignments do not, and are not intended to, include any obligation of VZMT, the Servicer or any Originator to the Obligors or any other Person relating to the
Receivables and the other VZMT Transferred Property, and the Depositor does not assume any of these obligations.
(d) Conditions for Transfers of Additional Receivables. The transfers and absolute assignments of the Additional Receivables and the other related VZMT Transferred Property on each Acquisition Date will be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions on or before such Acquisition Date:
(i) Transfer Notice. At least two (2) Business Days before each Acquisition Date, the Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a Transfer Notice for the
Additional Receivables to be transferred and absolutely assigned on that Acquisition Date, which will specify the Additional Receivables Transfer Amount, and will have delivered with it an electronic file containing the Schedule of Receivables; and
(ii) VZMT’s Certifications. VZMT, on such Acquisition Date, certifies that:
(A) |
as of such Acquisition Date, (1) VZMT is Solvent and will not become insolvent as a result of the absolute assignment of the related Additional Receivables on the Acquisition Date, (2) VZMT does not
intend to incur or believe that it would incur debts that would be beyond VZMT’s ability to pay as the debts matured and (3) the absolute assignment of the related Additional Receivables is not made by VZMT with actual intent to hinder, delay
or defraud any Person;
|
(B) |
VZMT’s representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (solely with respect to the related Additional Receivables transferred on such Acquisition Date) will be true and correct as of the
Acquisition Date; and
|
(C) |
VZMT has complied, or has caused the VZMT Administrator to comply, with the requirements of Section 9.7(a) of the VZMT Master Collateral Agency Agreement with respect to the release of Receivables
from the lien of the VZMT Master Collateral Agency Agreement.
|
(iii) Servicer Certifications. The Servicer, on such Acquisition Date, certifies that each of the Servicer’s representations and warranties in Sections 3.3, solely with respect to the related Additional
Receivables, and 3.6 will be true and correct as of such Acquisition Date.
The delivery by the Administrator, on behalf of VZMT, of the Transfer Notice will be considered a certification by VZMT and the Servicer that the
conditions set forth in this Section 2.1(d) have been satisfied or will be satisfied on the Acquisition Date.
2
Section 2.2. Acquisition of Receivables. In consideration for the Additional Receivables and the other related VZMT Transferred Property transferred by VZMT, the Depositor will (i) distribute to VZMT the
Additional Receivables Cash Transfer Amount for such Additional Receivables on the related Acquisition Date, and (ii) make a distribution to, or at the written direction of, VZMT in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Additional
Receivables Transfer Amount over the Additional Receivables Cash Transfer Amount for such Additional Receivables, in the form of an increase in the beneficial interest in the Issuer, as evidenced by the portion of the Class A Certificate allocated
to VZMT, in proportion to the Additional Receivables transferred by VZMT on such Acquisition Date. VZMT, on the one hand, and the Depositor, on the other hand, represents and warrants to the other that the aggregate amount set forth in clauses (i)
and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence distributed by the Depositor to VZMT on such Acquisition Date will equal the fair market value of the Additional Receivables and the other related VZMT Transferred Property transferred by VZMT to the
Depositor on such Acquisition Date.
Section 2.3. Acknowledgement of Further Assignments. VZMT acknowledges that (a) under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will transfer and assign all of its right, title and interest in the VZMT
Transferred Property and related property and rights to the Issuer and (b) under the Indenture, the Issuer will assign and pledge the VZMT Transferred Property and related property and rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
Parties.
Section 2.4. Savings Clause. VZMT and the Depositor intend that each assignment under this Agreement be an absolute assignment of the VZMT Transferred Property, conveying good title to the VZMT Transferred
Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, from VZMT to the Depositor. VZMT and the Depositor intend that the VZMT Transferred Property transferred by VZMT not be a part of VZMT’s estate if there is a bankruptcy or insolvency
of VZMT. If, despite the intent of VZMT and the Depositor, a transfer of the VZMT Transferred Property transferred by VZMT under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge for a financing or is determined not to be an absolute assignment, VZMT
Grants to the Depositor a security interest in VZMT’s right, title and interest in the VZMT Transferred Property transferred by it to secure a loan in an amount equal to all amounts payable by VZMT under this Agreement, all amounts payable as
principal of or interest on the Notes, all amounts payable as Servicing Fees under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. In that case, this Agreement will be a security
agreement under Law and the Depositor will have the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC.

Agreement and the pledge of such Receivables by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. Any inaccuracy in the Eligibility Representation will be deemed not to constitute a breach of the Eligibility Representation if such
inaccuracy does not affect the ability of the Issuer to receive and retain payment in full on such Receivable on the terms and conditions and within the timeframe set forth in the underlying device payment plan agreement. A Receivable will be an

(h) as of the related Cutoff Date, the Obligor on the account for such Receivable is not indicated to be subject to a current bankruptcy proceeding on the records of the Servicer or one of its Affiliates, acting as its agent;
(i) as of the related Cutoff Date, the Receivable is not a Receivable that is part of an account (A) on which any amount is thirty-one (31) days or more Delinquent by the Obligor or (B) that is in “suspend” or “disconnect” status
(including as a result of the application of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as amended) in accordance with the Servicing Procedures;
(j) the Receivable is denominated and payable only in U.S. dollars;
(k) the Obligor under such Receivable is required to make payments no less frequently than monthly under the related device payment plan agreement;
(l) as of the related Cutoff Date, the outstanding balance of the Receivable does not exceed $2,500;

has at least one (1) year of Customer Tenure with Verizon Wireless;
(n) the Receivable was originated in, and is subject to the Laws of, a jurisdiction which permits the transfer and assignment of the Receivable, and the terms of the Receivable do not contain a requirement that the related Obligor

(o) at the time of origination, the Receivable complied in all material respects with any requirements of Law applicable thereto;
(p) the Receivable constitutes the legal and binding obligation of the related Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms (except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar Laws relating to and limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or in law)); and
7
(q) as of the related Cutoff Date, neither the Servicer’s receivables systems nor the Receivable File indicates that the Receivable was satisfied or rescinded.
Section 3.4. Servicer Acquisition of Receivables for Breach of Representations.
(a) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Person of the Servicer receives written notice from the Depositor, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee that the Eligibility Representation was breached when made, then, in
each case, the Servicer (or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the Issuer. The Servicer
(or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) will have the option to cure such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to give the notice set forth in the first
sentence of this Section unless a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of such breach or has received written notice identifying the specific Receivable or Receivables for which the Eligibility Representation was
breached. None of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Successor Servicer), the Parent Support Provider, the Marketing Agent or the Administrator will have an obligation to investigate whether a
breach of the Eligibility Representation has occurred or whether any Receivable is required to be acquired under this Section 3.4. In addition, with respect to 60-Day Delinquent Receivables subject to an Asset Representations Review, the Servicer
will have the sole ability to determine if there was non-compliance with the Eligibility Representation made by it with respect to those 60-Day Delinquent Receivables that constitutes a breach, and whether to reacquire or acquire, as applicable,
those Receivables from the Issuer.
(b) Acquisition of Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. If the Servicer chooses to cure a breach of the Eligibility Representation that has a material adverse effect on the Issuer, such breach must be cured by the
Servicer by the end of the second month following the month the Responsible Person of the Servicer received written notice of the breach as set forth above. If such breach (i) is not cured and (ii) had a material adverse effect on the Issuer, then
the Servicer must acquire any such Receivable transferred by VZMT to the Depositor for which the Eligibility Representation was breached. The Servicer will acquire the Receivables transferred by VZMT to the Depositor as described in the
immediately preceding sentence by remitting the Acquisition Amount for the related Receivables on or before the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the second month referenced in the first sentence hereof (or, with
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on such Payment Date).
(c) Transfer and Assignment of Acquired Receivable. When the Servicer’s payment of the Acquisition Amount for the applicable Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to
have transferred and absolutely assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in such Receivables and all security and documents
relating to such Receivables. The transfer and absolute assignment will not require any action by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Depositor or the Issuer, except
that such Receivables are free of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens. After the transfer and absolute assignment, the Servicer will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that the receivables are no longer Receivables and may take any
8
action necessary or advisable to transfer and absolutely assign the Acquired Receivables, free from any Lien of the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.
(d) Acquisition Sole Remedy. The sole remedy against the Servicer for a breach of an Eligibility Representation is to require the Servicer to acquire the related Receivables under this Section 3.4. The Depositor will
enforce the Servicer’s acquisition obligation under this Section 3.4. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 3.4(d) shall limit any remedy of the Issuer against the Parent Support Provider contained in the Parent Support
Agreement.
(e) Removal or Resignation of Cellco as Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, immediately upon the resignation or removal of Cellco as Servicer pursuant to
Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, Cellco, in its individual capacity, will be required to assume the obligation to acquire Receivables as set forth in this Section 3.4 without further action.
(f) Dispute Resolution. The Servicer and VZMT agree to be bound by the dispute resolution provisions in Section 11.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement as if they were part of this Agreement.
Section 3.5. Depositor’s Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to VZMT and the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement and each Acquisition Date:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor is a validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business as presently owned or conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party.
(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 and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, 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 or
any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; 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 or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party.
9
(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, if any, in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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 and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party constitutes, when duly executed and delivered by each other party hereto and thereto, 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 or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party by the Depositor, and the performance by it of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof 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.

Section 4.2. No Transfer or Lien by VZMT. Except for the transfer and absolute assignment under this Agreement, VZMT will not transfer or absolutely assign any VZMT Transferred Property transferred and absolutely
assigned by it under this Agreement to another Person or Grant or allow a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on an interest in any such VZMT Transferred Property. VZMT will defend the Depositor’s interest in the VZMT Transferred Property

12
the related Acquisition Date and will not change the indication until the Receivable has been paid in full by the Obligor, acquired by the Servicer or the Marketing
Agent or sold to a third party, as applicable, under a Transaction Document.

Section 4.7. Acquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables.
(a) Acquisition
of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. If a Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable, the Servicer (or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) must acquire any
such Receivable from the Issuer, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.7(a). The Servicer will acquire any Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables by remitting the Acquisition Amount for the related Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables on or
prior to the second Business Day before the Payment Date related to the Collection Period during which the Receivable became a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable. The aggregate Principal Balance of all Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables acquired by
the Servicer, in the aggregate, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the highest aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables (calculated as of the relevant Cutoff Date for such Receivable) transferred by VZMT to the Depositor and by the
Depositor to the Issuer and held by the Issuer as of the applicable date of determination, and the Servicer shall not be required to acquire any Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables in excess of such limit.
(b) Transfer
and Assignment of Acquired Receivables. When a Servicer’s payment of the Acquisition Amount for VZMT’s Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred
and absolutely assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables and all security and
documents relating to such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables. The transfer and absolute assignment will not require any action by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee and will be without recourse, representation or
13
warranty by the Depositor or the Issuer, except that such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables are free of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens. After the transfer and absolute
assignment, the Servicer will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that the receivables are no longer Receivables and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer and absolutely assign the Acquired Receivables, free from any Lien of the
Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.
(c) Enforcement
of Obligation. The Depositor will enforce the Servicer’s (or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco’s, in its individual capacity) acquisition obligation under this Section 4.7.
