THIS TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 25, 2021 (this “Agreement”), is among VERIZON MASTER TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), VERIZON ABS II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”), and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, a Delaware general partnership (“Cellco”), as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), as marketing agent (in such capacity, the “Marketing Agent”) and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”).

BACKGROUND

In the normal course of their businesses, Cellco and the other Originators originate device payment plan agreements for various wireless devices.

In connection with certain financing transactions sponsored by Cellco in which the Trust will make borrowings under Loans or issue Notes, in each case secured by a pool of Receivables designated to the related Group of which the applicable Series is a part, any of the Originators may from time to time transfer Receivables and related property to the Depositor, who will transfer them to the Trust for designation to a Group as Group Receivables. The Trust will engage the Servicer to service the Receivables.

The parties agree as follows:

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Transfers of Depositor Transferred Property.

(a) Transfers and Absolute Assignments of Receivables. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 2.1(c), effective on each Acquisition Date, in consideration of the Trust’s distribution to the Depositor of the (i) Receivables Cash Transfer Amount for the Receivables to be transferred to the Trust on that Acquisition Date and (ii) an increase in the Class B Certificate Principal Balance in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Receivables Transfer Amount over the Receivables Cash Transfer Amount for such Receivables, the Depositor will transfer and absolutely assign to the Trust, without recourse (other than the Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement), all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest, whether then owned or later acquired, in the applicable Receivables and the other related Depositor Transferred Property.

(b) No Assumption of Obligations. These transfers and absolute assignments do not, and are not intended to, include any obligation of the Depositor, any Originator or any Additional Transferor to the Obligors or any other Person relating to the Receivables and the other Depositor Transferred Property, and the Trust does not assume any of these obligations.

(c) Conditions for Transfers of Receivables. The transfers and absolute assignments of the Receivables and the other related Depositor Transferred Property on each Acquisition Date will be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions on or before such Acquisition Date:

(i) Acquisition Notice. On each Payment Date, the Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trust, the Master Collateral Agent and each related Group Creditor Representative an Acquisition Notice for the Receivables transferred and absolutely assigned on each Acquisition Date that occurred during the Collection Period related to such Payment Date, which will (x) specify the Receivables Transfer Amount and (y) include a report setting forth (I) the Group to which such Receivables were designated, (II) the applicable Group Pool Balance, (III) the Required Pool Balance for the Group to which such Receivables were designated and (IV) the Excess Concentration Amount and Ineligible Amount, in each case, for each Series of the Group to which such Receivables were designated and for which Credit Extensions are Outstanding as of the related Acquisition Date, in each case after giving effect to the acquisition of Receivables on such Acquisition Date and the designation of such Receivables as Group Receivables for each such Group and calculated as of the related Measurement Date; and

(ii) Depositor’s Certifications. The Depositor certifies that:

(A)

as of such Acquisition Date, (1) the Depositor is Solvent and will not become insolvent as a result of the transfer and assignment of the related Receivables on the Acquisition Date, (2) the Depositor does not intend to incur or believe that it would incur debts that would be beyond the Depositor’s ability to pay as they matured and (3) the transfer and assignment of the related Receivables is not made by the Depositor with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person;

(B)

each of the representations and warranties made by the Depositor under Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) (in each case, solely with respect to the related Receivables) will be true and correct as of the Acquisition Date; and

(C)

all conditions to the transfer and assignment of the related Receivables (1) by the Originators to the Depositor under Section 2.1(c) of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement and (2) by any Additional Transferor to the Depositor under Section 2.1(c) of the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, if any, in each case, have been satisfied.

(iv) Default. After giving effect to such transfer and assignment and the payment of the related Receivables Cash Transfer Amount, (x) no Event of Default, Potential Default, Servicer Termination Event, Potential Servicer Termination Event or Pool Balance Deficit has occurred and is continuing, or resulted therefrom, in each case with respect to the Group to which such Receivables are designated and (y) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, or resulted therefrom, in each case with respect to the related Group Series and, for clauses (x) and (y) determined based on calculations as of the related Measurement Date.

The delivery on a Payment Date by the Administrator, on behalf of the Depositor, of the Acquisition Notice will be considered a certification by the Depositor that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1(c) have been satisfied on the Acquisition Date.

Section 2.2 Acknowledgement of Further Assignments. The Depositor acknowledges that, under the Master Collateral Agreement, the Trust will assign and pledge the Depositor Transferred Property and related property and rights to the Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 2.3 Savings Clause. The Depositor and the Trust intend that each transfer and assignment under this Agreement be an absolute transfer and assignment of the Depositor Transferred Property, conveying good title to the Depositor Transferred Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, from the Depositor to the Trust. The Depositor and the Trust intend that the Depositor Transferred Property not be a part of the Depositor’s estate if there is a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor. If, despite the intent of the Depositor and the Trust, a transfer and assignment of Depositor Transferred Property under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge for a financing or is determined not to be an absolute transfer and assignment, the Depositor Grants to the Trust a security interest in the Depositor’s right, title and interest in the Depositor Transferred Property to secure a loan in an amount equal to all amounts payable by the Depositor under this Agreement, all amounts payable as principal of or interest on the Credit Extensions, all amounts payable as Servicing Fees under this Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Trust under the Transaction Documents and the other Series Related Documents. In that case, this Agreement will be a security agreement under Law and the Trust will have the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC.

Section 2.4 Representations and Warranties About Depositor Transferred Property.

(a) Representations and Warranties About Receivables. The Depositor makes the following representations and warranties about the Receivables on which the Trust is relying in acquiring the Depositor Transferred Property. The representations and warranties with respect to each Receivable are made as of the related Acquisition Date and will survive the transfer and absolute assignment of the Depositor Transferred Property by the Depositor to the Trust under this Agreement and the pledge of the Depositor Transferred Property by the Trust to the Master Collateral Agent under the Master Collateral Agreement.

(i) Valid Transfer and Assignment. This Agreement evidences a valid transfer and absolute assignment of the Depositor Transferred Property from the Depositor to the Trust, enforceable against creditors of, purchasers from and transferees and absolute assignees of the Depositor.

Immediately before the transfer and absolute assignment under this Agreement, the Depositor has good title to the Depositor Transferred Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and, immediately after the transfer and absolute assignment under this Agreement, the Trust will have good title to the Depositor Transferred Property, free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

(iii) Security Interest in Depositor Transferred Property.

(A)

This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Depositor Transferred Property in favor of the Trust, which is prior to any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable against all creditors of, purchasers from and transferees and absolute assignees of the Depositor.

(B)

All filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Depositor a first priority, validly perfected ownership and security interest in the Originator Transferred Property and the Additional Transferor Transferred Property, if any, to give the Trust a first priority, validly perfected ownership and security interest in the Depositor Transferred Property and to give the Master Collateral Agent a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, will be made as set forth in Section 2.4(b)(iv) of this Agreement.

(C)

All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trust describing the Depositor Transferred Property transferred under this Agreement will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase, absolute assignment or transfer of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party/Assignee.”

(D)

The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering any Depositor Transferred Property other than the financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Depositor under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or any Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, by the Depositor to the Trust under this Agreement or by the Trust to the Master Collateral Agent under the Master Collateral Agreement, or that has been terminated.

(b) Representations and Warranties About Security Interest. If the transfer and absolute assignment of the Depositor Transferred Property under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge relating to a financing or is determined not to be a transfer and absolute assignment, the Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Trust is relying in acquiring the Depositor Transferred Property, which representations and warranties are made as of the related Acquisition Date, will survive termination of this Agreement and may not be waived by the Trust or the Master Collateral Agent:

(i) Valid Security Interest. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Depositor Transferred Property in favor of the Trust, which is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable against creditors of, purchasers from and transferees and absolute assignees of the Depositor.

(ii) Type. Each Receivable is (A) if the Receivable is not secured by the related Device, an “account” or “payment intangible,” or (B) if the Receivable is secured by the related Device, “chattel paper,” in each case, within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(iii) Good Title. Immediately before the transfer and absolute assignment under this Agreement, the Depositor owns and has good title to the Depositor Transferred Property free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Depositor Transferred Property to Grant to the Trust its right, title and interest in the Depositor Transferred Property, except to the extent the requirement for consent or approval is extinguished under the applicable UCC.

All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Trust under this Agreement describing the Depositor Transferred Property will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase, absolute assignment or transfer of or grant of a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Parties.”

(v) No Other Transfer, Grant or Financing Statement. Other than the security interest Granted to the Trust under this Agreement, the Depositor has not transferred or Granted a security interest in any of the Depositor Transferred Property. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax Lien filings against it.

Section 2.5 Originators’ Reacquisition and Servicer’s Acquisition of Receivables for Breach of Representations.

(a) Representations and Warranties from Receivables Transfer Agreements and Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Each Originator and the Servicer severally will make, as of each Acquisition Date, the Group Eligibility Representation with respect to a Group for the Receivables being transferred and absolutely assigned by such Originator or any Additional Transferor, respectively, on that date, and designated to that Group and such Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, has consented to the transfer by the Depositor to the Trust of the Depositor’s rights to such Group Eligibility Representation. The Trust is relying on each applicable Originator’s or the Servicer’s Group Eligibility Representation, as applicable, in acquiring the Receivables and designating such Receivables as Group Receivables, which Group Eligibility Representation will survive the transfer and absolute assignment of the Receivables by the Depositor to the Trust under this Agreement and the pledge of the Receivables to the Master Collateral Agent under the Master Collateral Agreement.

(b) Reacquisition and Acquisition. Under Section 2.1(a), the Depositor has transferred and absolutely assigned to the Trust the Depositor’s rights under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement and each Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, including the right to require (i) an Originator to reacquire any Receivables transferred and absolutely assigned by it under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or (ii) the Servicer to acquire any Receivables transferred and absolutely assigned by an Additional Transferor under the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, if any, in each case, if there is a breach of such Originator’s or the Servicer’s Group Eligibility Representation, as applicable, such breach is not cured in all material respects and such breach results in a material adverse effect on the Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been designated. If any Originator or the Servicer breaches the Group Eligibility Representation made by it with respect to any Group Receivable transferred by such Originator or any Additional Transferor, respectively, to the Depositor and such breach is not cured and such breach has a material adverse effect on the Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been designated, then the Depositor will enforce such Originator’s or the Servicer’s obligation, as applicable, to reacquire or acquire, respectively, any such Receivable transferred and absolutely assigned by such Originator or the related Additional Transferor, as applicable, to the Depositor for which the Group Eligibility Representation was breached pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.4 of the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, as applicable.

(c) Reacquisition or Acquisition Sole Remedy. The sole remedy of the Depositor, the Trust or the Master Collateral Agent for a breach of any Originator’s or the Servicer’s Group Eligibility Representation, as applicable, made in Section 3.3 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, Section 3.3 of any Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 2.7 of this Agreement, as applicable, is to require the related Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, to reacquire or acquire, respectively, the Receivable under Section 3.4 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, Section 3.4 of the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 2.7 of this Agreement, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Originators’ Reacquisition or Servicer’s Acquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables.

(a) Reacquisition or Acquisition. Under Section 2.1(a), the Depositor has transferred and absolutely assigned to the Trust the Depositor’s rights under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement and each Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, including the right to require (i) an Originator to reacquire any Receivables transferred and absolutely assigned by it under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or (ii) the Servicer to acquire any Receivable transferred and absolutely assigned by an Additional Transferor under the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, in each case, when such Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable. If any Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable, the Depositor will enforce such Originator’s or the Servicer’s obligation, as applicable, to reacquire or acquire, respectively, any such Receivable transferred and absolutely assigned by such Originator or the related Additional Transferor, if any, as applicable, to the Depositor pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.5 of the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement.

(b) Reacquisition or Acquisition Sole Remedy. If a Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable, the sole remedy of the Depositor, the Trust or Master Collateral Agent is to require the related Originator or the Servicer, as applicable, to reacquire or acquire, respectively, the Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable under Section 4.6 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.5 of the related Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement.

Section 2.7 Servicer Representations and Warranties About Re-Designated Receivables; Acquisition Upon Breach.

(a) Servicer Representations and Warranties About Group Receivables. With respect to any Re-Designated Receivable, the Servicer represents and warrants that such Re-Designated Receivable is a Group Eligible Receivable with respect to the Group to which such Receivable is to be re-designated in accordance with the Master Collateral Agreement. Such Group Eligibility Representation is made as of the Re-Designation Date for the related Receivables. Such representation and warranty is made as of the Re-Designation Date for the related Receivables. Any inaccuracy in the Group Eligibility Representation will be deemed not to constitute a breach of the Group Eligibility Representation if such inaccuracy does not affect the ability of the Trust 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 and does not have a material adverse effect on the Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been re-designated. The Trust is relying on the Servicer’s Group Eligibility Representation in re-designating a Receivable from one Group to a different Group.

(b) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Person of the Servicer receives written notice from the Depositor, the Administrator, any Creditor Representative or the Master Collateral Agent that the applicable Group Eligibility Representation for a Re-Designated Receivable was breached when made, then, in each case, the Servicer will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the

Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been re-designated. The Servicer will have the option to cure such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to give the notice set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(b) unless a Responsible Person of the Master Collateral Agent has actual knowledge of such breach or has received written notice identifying the specific Receivable or Receivables for which the Group Eligibility Representation was breached. None of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Master Collateral Agent, the Parent Support Provider, the Marketing Agent or the Administrator will have an obligation to investigate whether a breach of the Group Eligibility Representation for a Re-Designated Receivable has occurred or whether any Receivable is required to be acquired under this Section 2.7.

(c) Acquisition of Receivables; Payment of Reconveyance Amount. If the Servicer chooses to cure a breach of the Group Eligibility Representation that has a material adverse effect on the Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been re-designated, such breach must be cured by the Servicer by the end of the second month following the month a 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 Credit Extensions related to the Group to which such Receivables have been re-designated, then the Servicer must acquire any such Receivable re-designated to the related Group on a Re-Designation Date for which the Group Eligibility Representation was breached 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, if applicable, on such Payment Date) by remitting the Reconveyance Amount for the related Receivables to the Collection Account on or prior to such date.

(d) Transfer and Assignment of Reconveyed Receivable. For any acquisition of a Receivable by the Servicer under this Section 2.7, the Trust will be deemed to have transferred and absolutely assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the Reconveyance Date, all of the Trust’s right, title and interest in such Receivable and all security and documents relating to such Receivable, and the Servicer will be entitled to all collections on or proceeds of the Reconveyed Receivable on and after the related Reconveyance Cutoff Date. The transfer and absolute assignment will not require any action by the Depositor or the Trust and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Depositor or the Trust, except that such Receivable is 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 Reconveyed Receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer and absolutely assign the Reconveyed Receivable, free from any Lien of the Depositor, the Trust or the Master Collateral Agent.

(e) Acquisition Sole Remedy. The sole remedy against the Servicer for a breach of the Servicer’s Group Eligibility Representation as of a Re-Designation Date is to require the Servicer to acquire the related Receivables under this Section 2.7. The Trust will enforce the Servicer’s acquisition obligation under this Section 2.7. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 2.7(e) shall limit any remedy of the Trust against the Parent Support Provider contained in the Parent Support Agreement.

ARTICLE III
SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

Section 3.1 Engagement. The Trust engages Cellco as the Servicer of the Receivables for the Trust and the Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and Cellco accepts this engagement.

Section 3.2 Servicing of Receivables.

(a) General Servicing Obligations. The Servicer will manage, service, administer and collect on the Receivables with reasonable care using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises for all comparable device payment plan agreement receivables that it services for itself or others according to the applicable Servicing Procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer’s obligations will include:

(i) collecting and applying all payments made on, or credits applied to, the Receivables and any other amounts received related to the Depositor Transferred Property;

(ii) investigating delinquencies;

(iii) sending invoices and notices and responding to inquiries of Obligors;

(iv) processing requests for extensions, modifications and adjustments;

(v) administering payoffs, prepayments, defaults and delinquencies;

(vi) maintaining accurate and complete accounts and receivables systems for servicing the Receivables;

(vii) preparing and providing Monthly Investor Reports and any other periodic reports required to be prepared by the Servicer under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other Series Related Document; and

(viii) providing to the Custodian copies, or access to, any documents that modify or supplement information in the Receivable Files.

(b) Collection of Payments; Extensions and Amendments. The Servicer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Procedures using commercially reasonable care and diligence and in any event, with no less care or diligence than the Servicer exercises in collecting other similar receivables or obligations owed to it and its Affiliates. All payments remitted by an Obligor to the Servicer in respect of a Receivable, any release of a security deposit, and any application of a Credit granted to a customer by Verizon Wireless (other than applications of payments and credits granted to an Obligor under a Receivable in respect of cancellations, prepayments, invoicing errors or in connection with an Upgrade Offer as described under Section 3.12(b)) will be applied to the related account by the Servicer based on invoice aging, so that such amounts are applied to the oldest invoiced balances first, then the second

oldest invoiced balances, etc., and finally to current billing amounts, in each case, in the order described below:

•

late fees;

•

service and all other charges, including, but not limited to, insurance premium payments and purchases (including for accessories) billed to the account, other than amounts due under any device payment plan agreement, including any Receivable; and

•

any amounts related to any device payment plan agreements, including Receivables, which, in the case of multiple device payment plan agreements related to a single account, will be applied in the order in which such device payment plan agreements were originated with the most recent device payment plan agreement being paid last.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Transaction Document, the process for application of payments remitted by an Obligor to the Servicer in respect of a Receivable, releases of security deposits, and applications of Credits granted to an Obligor under a Receivable by Verizon Wireless (other than those credits granted to an Obligor under a Receivable in respect of an Upgrade Offer as described under Section 3.12(b)) described in the bullet points above may be changed at any time in the sole discretion of the Servicer, as long as any change in such application of any such amounts applicable to the Receivables (i) is also applicable to any device payment plan agreements that the Servicer services for itself and others and (ii) so long as Cellco is the Servicer, does not have a material adverse effect on the Creditors. In addition, the Servicer may waive late payment charges or other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing a Receivable. The Servicer may grant extensions, refunds, rebates or adjustments on any Receivable or amend any Receivable according to the applicable Servicing Procedures. However, if the Servicer (i) cancels a Receivable or reduces or waives (including with respect to any Upgrade Offer) the remaining Principal Balance under a Receivable or any portion thereof and/or as a result, the monthly payments due thereunder, (ii) modifies, supplements, amends or revises a Receivable to grant the Obligor under such Receivable a contractual right to upgrade the related Device or (iii) grants payment extensions resulting in the final payment date of a Receivable being later than the Collection Period immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date for the latest maturing Credit Extension of the related Group, it will acquire the affected Receivable solely as described under Section 3.3, unless it is required to take the action by Law.

Section 3.12 Termination of Upgrade Programs; Credits Related to Upgrade Programs.

(a) To the extent any Upgrade Offer has not been terminated and an Obligor satisfies all of the terms and conditions of such Upgrade Offer in respect of a Receivable, and (i) the Marketing Agent fails to make, or to cause the related Originator to make, the required Upgrade Payment into the Collection Account as set forth in Section 4.3(g), and (ii) the Parent Support Provider fails to make any required Upgrade Payments as set forth in Section 1 of the Parent Support Agreement, the Servicer and the Marketing Agent shall terminate all Upgrade Offers within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Parent Support Provider received notice from the Master Collateral Agent or Paying Agent that an Upgrade Payment was due under Section 1 of the Parent Support Agreement.

(b) If the Marketing Agent, the relevant Originator and the Parent Support Provider fail to make such Upgrade Payments with respect to an Upgrade Offer, (i) the Servicer shall deliver the notice to Obligors pursuant to Section 3.13 with respect to such Obligors’ recoupment rights against Verizon Wireless, and (ii) notwithstanding any failure to deliver such notice, (x) if Cellco is still the Servicer, the Servicer shall give a monthly credit to the Obligor against amounts owing with respect to the new device payment plan agreement resulting from the Upgrade Offer, in an amount equal to the amount due that month under the original device payment plan agreement that is a Receivable, or (y) if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, Cellco, (1) if required, shall give such monthly credit to the Obligor only if Cellco has received notice from the Servicer that the Obligor has paid the amount due in the prior month under the original device payment plan agreement that is a Receivable, and (2) shall cooperate with any Successor Servicer to properly xxxx and credit such Obligor’s account with respect to the Receivable and the new device payment plan agreement related to the Upgrade Offer. Any such monthly credit granted to an Obligor shall be applied directly against the monthly payment due on the new device payment plan agreement and will not be applied in accordance with the Servicer’s customary payment application procedures pursuant to its applicable Servicing Procedures, if different. For the avoidance of doubt, if during such time as Cellco is no longer the Servicer, an Obligor remits the full amount due under the related new device payment plan agreement, but does not make a payment to the new Servicer for the original device payment plan agreement, a portion of such amount equal to the amount of the monthly credit granted to such Obligor resulting from the Upgrade Offer in respect of the original device payment plan agreement that is a Receivable shall be paid by Cellco to the new Servicer. In such case, to the extent that all other amounts owed on the related account are current, the Servicer will not consider such account or payments under the new device payment plan agreement to be Delinquent. In addition, regardless of whether Cellco continues to be the Servicer of any Receivable for which the terms and conditions of an Upgrade Offer (other than the requirement that the Marketing Agent remit,

or cause the related Originator to remit, an Upgrade Payment for such Receivable) were satisfied by the related Obligor and for which the Marketing Agent, the related Originator and the Parent Support Provider failed to make the related Upgrade Payment, Cellco shall remit any Collections received on such Receivable to the Collection Account in the time period in which it would have been otherwise obligated to do so.

Section 3.13 Notices to Obligors.

Within ten (10) days following the earlier to occur of (i) a ratings downgrade by each of Fitch, Xxxxx’x and S&P of Verizon to below investment grade, or (ii) a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer will send a notice to all Obligors indicating (a) that their Receivables have been assigned to the Trust and designated to a Group, and (b)(x) if Cellco has not been removed as Servicer, that the Obligors shall continue to make their payments as they had previously, or (y) if Cellco has been removed as Servicer, the name of the Successor Servicer and any new instructions with respect to their payments. In addition, if the Servicer Termination Event was as a result of the failure of the Marketing Agent to satisfy its obligation to make, or to cause the related Originators to make, or the Parent Support Provider to satisfy its obligation to make required Upgrade Payments pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i)(y), then Cellco shall also send a notice to (i) all Obligors who have a continuing right to an upgrade, indicating that Cellco has recently failed to make the necessary prepayments with respect to one or more of its customers in connection with an Upgrade Offer, and that if any Obligor chooses to upgrade and Cellco fails to make the related Upgrade Payment with respect to them, such Obligor will still be required to make payments on his or her original device payment plan agreement, but that such Obligor will have a corresponding recoupment right against his or her new device payment plan agreement with Verizon Wireless, and (ii) all Obligors who had initiated upgrades under an Upgrade Offer, indicating that Cellco had failed to make the relevant Upgrade Payment, and stating that such Obligors will continue to have an obligation to make payments on their original device payment plan agreements, but will have a corresponding right of recoupment against their new device payment plan agreements with Verizon Wireless.

ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTS, COLLECTIONS AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS

Section 4.1 Trust Accounts.

(a) Establishment of Trust Accounts. On or before the date of this Agreement, the Servicer will establish the “Collection Account” as a segregated trust account at a Qualified Institution (initially the corporate trust department of U.S. Bank National Association), in the name “U.S. Bank National Association, as Master Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties of Verizon Master Trust.” The Servicer may from time to time establish additional Trust Accounts in respect of any Series in accordance with the related Trust Financing Agreement and the Master Collateral Agreement.

(b) Control of Trust Accounts. Other than as set forth in any Trust Financing Agreement with respect to any Series Accounts, each of the Trust Accounts will be under the control of the Master Collateral Agent so long as the Trust Accounts remain subject to the Lien of the Master Collateral Agreement, except that the Servicer may make deposits into and direct

the Master Collateral Agent to make deposits into or withdrawals from the Trust Accounts according to the Transaction Documents and the other Series Related Documents. The Servicer may direct the Master Collateral Agent to withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to the Servicer, or as directed by the Servicer, amounts that are not Group Available Funds for a Collection Period or that were deposited into the Collection Account in error. Following the release of the Trust Accounts from the Lien of the Master Collateral Agreement, the Trust Accounts will be under the control of the Trust.

(c) Benefit of Accounts; Deposits and Withdrawals. The Trust Accounts and all cash, money, securities, investments, financial assets and other property deposited in or credited to them will be held by the Master Collateral Agent as secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties (except that any Trust Accounts established pursuant to a Trust Financing Agreement will be solely for the benefit of the related Series and may be held by the Paying Agent for such Series) and, after the release of the Trust Accounts from the Lien of the Master Collateral Agreement pursuant to Article IX of the Master Collateral Agreement, as agent of the Trust and as part of the Trust Account Property. All deposits to and withdrawals from the Trust Accounts will be made according to the Transaction Documents and the other Series Related Documents.

(d) Maintenance of Accounts. If an institution maintaining the Trust Accounts ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Servicer will, with the Master Collateral Agent’s assistance as necessary, move the Trust Accounts to a Qualified Institution within thirty (30) days.

(e) Compliance. Each Trust Account will be subject to an Account Control Agreement. The Servicer will ensure that each Account Control Agreement requires the Qualified Institution maintaining the Trust Accounts to comply with “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) from the Master Collateral Agent without further consent of the Trust, if any Credit Extensions are Outstanding, and to act as a “securities intermediary” according to the UCC.

Section 4.2 Investment of Funds in Trust Accounts.

(a) Permitted Investments. If (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any Series or Group, and (ii) Cellco is the Servicer, the Servicer may instruct the Master Collateral Agent to invest any funds in the Collection Account (and may instruct the Master Collateral Agent or any other party disclosed in the related Series Related Documents to invest funds in any other Trust Accounts pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Series Related Documents) in Permitted Investments and, if investment instructions are received, the Master Collateral Agent will direct the Qualified Institution maintaining the Trust Accounts to invest the funds in the Collection Account in those Permitted Investments. If (i) the Servicer fails to give investment instructions for any funds in the Collection Account (and any other Trust Accounts pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Series Related Documents) to the Master Collateral Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York time (or other time as may be agreed by the Master Collateral Agent) on the Business Day before a Payment Date, or (ii) the Qualified Institution receives notice from the Master Collateral Agent that a Potential Default or Event of Default under any Series or Group has occurred and is continuing, the Qualified Institution will invest and reinvest funds in such Trust Account

according to the last investment instructions received, if any. If no prior investment instructions have been received or if the instructed investments are no longer available or permitted, the Master Collateral Agent will notify the Servicer and request new investment instructions, and the funds will remain uninvested until new investment instructions are received. The Servicer may direct the Master Collateral Agent to consent, vote, waive or take any other action, or not to take any action, on any matters available to the holder of the Permitted Investments. If Cellco is not the Servicer, funds on deposit in the Collection Account will remain uninvested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2(a) or in the Transaction Documents or any other Series Related Documents, the Servicer shall not allow amounts held in the Collection Account to be invested unless it is able to maintain records on a daily basis as to the amounts realized from the investment of Collections received on each Originator’s Receivables.

(b) Maturity of Investments. For so long as Cellco is the Servicer, any Permitted Investments of funds in the Collection Account (or any reinvestments of the Permitted Investments) for a Collection Period must mature, if applicable, and be available no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. Any Permitted Investments with a maturity date will be held to their maturity, except that such Permitted Investments may be sold or disposed of before their maturity in connection with the sale or liquidation of the Collateral following an Event of Default under Section 6.1 of the Master Collateral Agreement or the purchase of any Collateral on an Acquisition Date.

(c) No Liability for Investments. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the Qualified Institution maintaining any Trust Account will be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred on Permitted Investments (other than in the capacity as obligor, if applicable).

(d) Continuation of Liens in Investments. The Servicer will not direct the Master Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent to make any investment of funds or to sell any investment held in the Trust Accounts unless the security interest Granted and perfected in the account in favor of the Master Collateral Agent will continue to be perfected in the investment or the proceeds of the sale without further action by any Person.

(e) Investment Earnings. Investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on the Collection Account will be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account per the written direction of the Servicer for distribution to the Certificateholders in the priority set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Trust Agreement.

Section 4.3 Deposits and Payments.

(a) Acquisition Date Deposit. In the event that the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, on each Acquisition Date, the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received and applied as interest or principal on the Receivables during the period from the related Cutoff Date to two (2) Business Days before the Acquisition Date.

(b) Deposit of Collections.

(i) If Cellco is the Servicer and the Monthly Remittance Condition is satisfied, the Servicer may deposit Collections into the Collection Account on the second Business Day before each Payment Date.

(ii) For as long as the Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, the Servicer will (1) deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received and applied as interest or principal on the Receivables within two (2) Business Days after identification of receipt of good funds and (2) provide a written report (which may be electronically submitted) to the Master Collateral Agent and the Paying Agent regarding such deposit set forth in clause (1) above, as required by Section 3.5(d).

(c) Reconciliation of Deposits. If Cellco is the Servicer and, for any Payment Date, the sum of (i) Collections for the Collection Period, plus (ii) Reconveyance Amounts for Reconveyed Receivables acquired during the related Collection Period, exceeds the amounts deposited under Section 4.3(b) for the Collection Period, Cellco will deposit an amount equal to the excess into the Collection Account on the second Business Day before the Payment Date. If, for any Payment Date, the amounts deposited under Section 4.3(b) for the Collection Period exceed the sum of (i) Collections for the Collection Period, plus (ii) Reconveyance Amounts for Reconveyed Receivables acquired during the related Collection Period, the Master Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent will pay to Cellco from the applicable Group Available Funds in the Collection Account an amount equal to the excess within two (2) Business Days after Cellco’s direction, but no later than the Payment Date. If requested by the Master Collateral Agent, Cellco will provide reasonable supporting details for its calculation of the amounts to be deposited or paid under this Section 4.3(c).

(d) Net Deposits. Cellco may make the deposits and payments required by Section 4.3(b) net of Servicing Fees to be paid to Cellco for the Collection Period and amounts the Servicer is permitted to retain under Section 3.8 and be reimbursed for under Section 3.9. The Servicer will account for all deposits and payments in the Monthly Investor Report as if the amounts were deposited and/or paid separately.

(e) No Segregation. Pending deposit in the Collection Account, the Servicer is not required to segregate Collections from its own funds.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Deposit of Upgrade Payments. If any Upgrade Offer has not been terminated and an Obligor satisfies all of the terms and conditions of such Upgrade Offer in respect of a Receivable, the Marketing Agent shall deposit, or shall cause the related Originator to deposit, into the Collection Account the related Upgrade Payment, within two (2) Business Days after the identification that all of the terms and conditions related to such Upgrade Offer have been satisfied by the related Obligor in respect of a Receivable; provided, that if the conditions set forth in Section 4.3(b)(i) are satisfied, the Marketing Agent shall deposit, or shall cause the related Originators to deposit, such amounts into the Collection Account on the second Business Day before the Payment Date related to the Collection Period in which the related Obligor has satisfied all of the terms and conditions (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the required prepayment) related to such Upgrade Offer in respect of a Receivable. The parties acknowledge

that the failure of the Marketing Agent to deposit, or to cause the related Originator to deposit, into the Collection Account the related Upgrade Payment or otherwise to pay off the Receivable would constitute a breach by the related Originator of its obligation to the Obligor under the Upgrade Contract and that this breach would adversely affect the value of the Receivables, and give the Obligor a claim in recoupment against the related Originator and a right to offset that claim against the amounts that the Obligor would owe to the related Originator under the new device payment plan agreement (each such agreement, a “New Upgrade DPP”) entered into by the related Originator (or its agent, on its behalf) pursuant to the Upgrade Contract. The parties hereto intend that the payment by the Marketing Agent or the related Originator of the Upgrade Payment as provided in this Section 4.3(g) shall extinguish such Obligor’s claim in recoupment against the related Originator and the Obligor’s right to offset the amount of that claim against the amounts that the Obligor would owe under the New Upgrade DPP contemporaneously with such Upgrade Payment by the Marketing Agent or the related Originator. The parties hereto also intend that the payment by the Marketing Agent or the related Originator of the Upgrade Payment as provided in Section 2.2.1 of the Marketing Agent Agency Agreement shall extinguish each Obligor’s claim in recoupment against the “Verizon Originator” described in that Section 2.2.1 and the Obligor’s right to offset the amount of that claim against the amounts that the Obligor would owe under the new device payment plan agreement entered into by such Verizon Originator (or its agent, on its behalf) pursuant to the Upgrade Contract as described in that Section 2.2.1 contemporaneously with such Upgrade Payment by the Marketing Agent or the related Originator.

(h) Deposit of Credit Payments. If an Obligor is granted a Credit and the application of such Credit to the related Obligor’s account results in a shortfall in Collections for the related Collection Period, the Marketing Agent shall deposit, or shall cause the related Originator to deposit, into the Collection Account the related Credit Payment within two (2) Business Days after identification that such Credit was applied to an Obligor account; provided, that if the conditions set forth in Section 4.3(b)(i) are satisfied, the Marketing Agent shall deposit, or shall cause the related Originator to deposit, such amounts into the Collection Account on the second Business Day before the Payment Date related to the Collection Period in which such Credit was applied to an Obligor account.

(i) Deposit of Assumption of Liability Payments. If an Originator or the Servicer allows a device payment plan agreement that is a Receivable to be transferred to a new Obligor, the Marketing Agent shall acquire such Receivable and deposit, or cause the related Originator to acquire and deposit, into the Collection Account an amount equal to the applicable Reconveyance Amount for the related Receivable on or prior to the second Business Day before the Payment Date related to the Collection Period in which such transfer occurred. For any acquisition of a Receivable by the Marketing Agent under this Section 4.3(i), the Trust will be deemed to have transferred and assigned to the Marketing Agent effective as of the Reconveyance Date, all of the Trust’s right, title and interest in the Receivable and all security and documents relating to the Receivable, and the Marketing Agent will be entitled to all collections on and proceeds of the Reconveyed Receivable on and after the related Reconveyance Cutoff Date. The transfer and assignment will not require any action by the Trust and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trust except the representation that the Trust owns the Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. After

the transfer and assignment, the Servicer will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that the Reconveyed Receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer the Receivable free from any Lien of the Trust or the Master Collateral Agent.

(j) Release of Funds. The Master Collateral Agent shall, at such time as there are no Credit Extensions Outstanding and the Lien of the Master Collateral Agreement has been terminated, release to the order of the Trust any remaining portion of the Collection Account following deduction of any fees, expenses or indemnities owed to it pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Master Collateral Agreement.

Section 4.4 [Reserved].

Section 4.5 Direction to Master Collateral Agent for Distributions. On or about the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, and in no case later than at least two (2) Business Days before each Payment Date, the Servicer will direct the Master Collateral Agent or Paying Agent (based on the most recent Monthly Investor Report) to make the withdrawals, deposits, distributions and payments required to be made on the Payment Date under Section 4.3(c) of this Agreement and in accordance with each Trust Financing Agreement for any Series for which any Credit Extensions are Outstanding.

The Trust will promptly notify the Rating Agencies, if any, of any resignation of the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, immediately upon the resignation of Cellco as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.1, Cellco, in its individual capacity, will be required to assume the obligations of the Servicer to acquire Receivables as set forth in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 of each Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement and Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 of this Agreement without further action.

(a) Servicer Termination Events. The following events will each be a “Servicer Termination Event”:

(i) (x) the Servicer fails to deposit, or deliver to the Master Collateral Agent for deposit, any Collections required to be delivered under this Agreement; (y) so long as Cellco is the Servicer, the Marketing Agent fails to deposit, or to cause the related Originators to deposit, into the Collection Account any Upgrade Payments required to be delivered under this Agreement, or (z) so long as Cellco is the Servicer, the Parent Support Provider fails to make any payments with respect to the items set forth in clause (x) or clause (y) above, to the extent the Servicer, or the Marketing Agent or any related Originator, respectively, fails to do so, and, in each case, which such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after the Servicer, the Marketing Agent or the Parent Support Provider, as applicable, receives written notice of the failure from the Master Collateral Agent, or a Responsible Person of the Servicer, the Marketing Agent or the Parent Support Provider, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of the failure; or

(ii) the Servicer (including in its capacity as Custodian) fails to observe or to perform any obligation under this Agreement, other than as set forth in clause (i) or (iii) of this Section 7.2(a), which failure has a material adverse effect on the Creditors and continues for ninety (90) days after the Servicer receives written notice of the failure from the Master Collateral Agent or the Majority Creditor Representatives; or

(iii) so long as Cellco is the Servicer, the failure by (x) the Marketing Agent to make, or to cause the related Originators to make, (i) any payments required to be paid by the Marketing Agent in respect of the Receivables, including without limitation Credit Payments or (ii) payments relating to the acquisition by the Marketing Agent or the

related Originators of Receivables that are subject to certain transfers, but not including Upgrade Payments, or (y) the Parent Support Provider to make any payments set forth in clause (x) above, to the extent that the Marketing Agent or any related Originator fails to do so, and in either case, that continues for ten (10) Business Days after the Marketing Agent or Parent Support Provider, as applicable, receives written notice of the failure from the Master Collateral Agent, or a Responsible Person of the Marketing Agent or the Parent Support Provider, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of the failure; or

(iv) an Insolvency Event of the Servicer occurs;

provided, however, that a delay or failure of performance referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above for an additional period of sixty (60) days will not constitute a Servicer Termination Event if such delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, as further described in Section 6.2(d).

(b) Notice of Servicer Termination Event. The Servicer will notify the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent of any Servicer Termination Event or Potential Servicer Termination Event, no later than five (5) Business Days after a Responsible Person of the Servicer has received written notice of or has actual knowledge of the event. If a Servicer Termination Event occurs, the Trust will promptly notify the Rating Agencies, if any, and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(c) Removal. If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Master Collateral Agent, if directed to do so by the Majority Creditor Representatives, and in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Master Collateral Agreement, shall remove the Servicer and terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Series Related Documents by notifying the Servicer, the Trust, the Parent Support Provider, the Owner Trustee and the Creditor Representatives. The notice of termination will state the date the termination will be effective. On receipt of the notice, the Trust will promptly notify the Rating Agencies, if any, and the Asset Representations Reviewer, and the Owner Trustee will promptly notify the Certificateholders.

(d) Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. In accordance with the Master Collateral Agreement, the Majority Creditor Representatives (or, if no Credit Extensions are Outstanding, the Owner Trustee, at the direction of the Class A Certificateholder), may direct the Master Collateral Agent to waive a Servicer Termination Event, except with respect to a failure to make required deposits to or payment from any of the Trust Accounts, and the consequences thereof. Upon the waiver, the Servicer Termination Event will be deemed not to have occurred. No waiver will extend to any other Servicer Termination Event or impair a right relating to any other Servicer Termination Event. The Trust will promptly notify the Rating Agencies, if any, and the Asset Representations Reviewer of any waiver.

Section 7.3 Continue to Perform. If the Servicer resigns under Section 7.1, it will continue to perform its obligations as Servicer under this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (a) a Successor Servicer accepting its engagement as Servicer under Section 7.4 or (b) the date the Servicer is legally unable to act as Servicer. If the Servicer is terminated under this Agreement, it will continue to perform its obligations as Servicer under this Agreement until the date stated in the notice of termination. If Cellco is the resigning or removed Servicer, Cellco shall (x) remit any amounts due on the Receivables that are remitted to Cellco in error, rather than to the Successor Servicer as set forth in the notice sent to Obligors under Section 3.13, and provide the Successor Servicer with any necessary information regarding the amount remitted to the Successor Servicer by Cellco and the Receivable for which such amount was remitted and (y) continue to perform its remittance obligations set forth in Section 3.12(b) for as long as any Receivable continues to have a Principal Balance or until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

Section 7.4 Successor Servicer.

(a) Engagement of Successor Servicer; Master Collateral Agent to Act.

(i) If the Servicer resigns or is terminated under this Agreement, the Master Collateral Agent will promptly engage an institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 whose regular business and operations includes the servicing of receivables and can accommodate the servicing of device payment plan agreements, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement (the “Successor Servicer”) and successor to the Administrator under Section 3.4 of the Administration Agreement.

(ii) If no Person has accepted the engagement as Successor Servicer when the Servicer stops performing its obligations, the Master Collateral Agent, without further action, will be automatically appointed the Successor Servicer to perform the obligations of the Servicer (other than any obligations specifically excluded) until such time as another Successor Servicer shall accept engagement as Successor Servicer. If the Master Collateral Agent becomes the Successor Servicer, it (A) will do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Master Collateral Agent and, accordingly, Article VII of the Master Collateral Agreement will be inapplicable to the Master Collateral Agent solely in its capacity as Successor Servicer, (B) shall not be liable for any actions of any Servicer prior to its appointment as Successor Servicer, and (C) may appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates, but the Master Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, will be liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate. If the Master Collateral Agent is unwilling or legally unable to act as Successor Servicer, it will appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 whose regular business and operations includes the servicing of accounts and can accommodate the servicing of device payment plan agreements, as successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Collateral Agent will be released from its obligations as Successor Servicer on the date that a new Servicer accepts its engagement as Successor Servicer.

(b) Acceptance of Engagement. The Successor Servicer will accept its engagement by assuming the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement or entering into an amendment to

this Agreement or a new servicing agreement on substantially the same terms as this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent. The Successor Servicer will deliver a copy of the assumption, amendment or new servicing agreement to the other parties and the Master Collateral Agent. The Successor Servicer (other than the Master Collateral Agent as Successor Servicer) will accept its engagement as Administrator according to Section 3.4 of the Administration Agreement. Promptly following a Successor Servicer’s acceptance of its engagement, the Master Collateral Agent will notify the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Secured Parties of the engagement. On receipt of a notice of engagement, the Trust will promptly notify the Rating Agencies, if any, and the Asset Representations Reviewer, and the Owner Trustee will promptly notify the Certificateholders. Any Successor Servicer will agree to provide to Cellco any information relating to payments received from Obligors (including any payments received on a Receivable that was the subject of an upgrade for which none of the Marketing Agent, the related Originator or the Parent Support Provider deposited a required Upgrade Payment), delinquencies in payments by Obligors, any Written-Off Receivables and any other information related to the Obligors and the Receivables required by Cellco to service the accounts of which any Receivables are a part, including, but not limited to, granting and applying credits to any account for which none of the Marketing Agent, the related Originator or the Parent Support Provider remitted an Upgrade Payment, as set forth in Section 3.12(b). Any Successor Servicer will agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the legal, regulatory, privacy and data protection policies set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto to the extent such Successor Servicer receives information from Cellco or any of its Affiliates relating to the Receivables. No Successor Servicer shall have any liability for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.

(c) Compensation of Successor Servicer. The Master Collateral Agent may make arrangements for the compensation of the Successor Servicer out of Collections as it and the Successor Servicer may agree. In addition to the Servicing Fee, on the date of its appointment as Successor Servicer, such Successor Servicer will receive the Successor Servicer Engagement Fee payable pursuant to the Trust Financing Agreements for each Series with Credit Extensions Outstanding, and thereafter, will be entitled to the Additional Successor Servicer Fee, which will be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Trust Financing Agreements for each Series with Credit Extensions Outstanding.

(d) Transfer of Authority. On the effective date of the Servicer’s resignation or termination or the later date that the Servicer stops performing its obligations, and solely to the extent the Successor Servicer is an entity other than the Master Collateral Agent, all rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and of the Administrator under the Administration Agreement will become the rights and obligations of the Successor Servicer, including as successor Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the resignation or removal of Cellco as Servicer will not result in the termination of Cellco’s duties as Marketing Agent and (y) if the Master Collateral Agent is the Successor Servicer, Cellco will continue to act as Administrator under the Administration Agreement, to the extent it is able to continue to perform thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement.

(e) Authority of Trust and Master Collateral Agent. The Trust and the Master Collateral Agent are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-

fact or otherwise, all documents, and to do all other acts or things necessary or advisable to effect the termination and replacement of the Servicer.

Section 7.5 Transition of Servicing.

(a) Cooperation on Termination. On its resignation or termination, the Servicer will cooperate with the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Master Collateral Agent and the Successor Servicer in effecting (i) the termination of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and (ii) an orderly transition of such rights and obligations to the Successor Servicer.

(b) Transfer of Cash, Receivable Files and Records. As soon as practicable after the effective date of its resignation or termination, the predecessor Servicer will (i) transfer to the Successor Servicer all funds relating to the Receivables that are held or later received by the predecessor Servicer and (ii) deliver to the Successor Servicer the Receivable Files and the accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. The Servicer will not be obligated to provide, license or assign its processes, procedures, models, servicing software or other applications to any Successor Servicer or any third party, or provide anything covered by a restriction on transfer or assignment or a confidentiality agreement or otherwise restricted by legal, regulatory, privacy or data protection policies.

(c) Expenses of Servicing Transition. All reasonable expenses incurred by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Master Collateral Agent and the Successor Servicer in connection with (i) the transition of servicing rights and obligations to the Successor Servicer and (ii) amending this Agreement or entering into an assumption agreement or new agreement to reflect a succession of the Servicer will be paid by the resigning or terminated Servicer on receipt of an invoice in reasonable detail.

Section 7.6 Merger, Consolidation, Succession or Assignment. Any Person (a) into which the Servicer is merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from a merger or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, (c) succeeding to the Servicer’s business or (d) that is an Affiliate of the Servicer to whom the Servicer has assigned this Agreement, will be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment, such Person will (i) execute an agreement to assume the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party (unless the assumption happens by operation of Law), (ii) deliver to the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment and the assumption agreement comply with this Section 7.6 and (iii) notify the Rating Agencies, if any, of the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment.

The notice provided under this Section 11.1 (a) and the related 10-D that is filed are the only notices that will be provided to Public Noteholders of the related Group (including Note Owners of Publicly Registered Notes of such Group) concerning whether the Group Delinquency Trigger has occurred.

(b) If the Master Collateral Agent notifies the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Master Collateral Agreement that sufficient Public Noteholders of the related Group have voted within the required time to initiate an Asset Representations Review of all Group 60-Day Delinquent Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, then the Servicer shall:

(i) promptly notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Master Collateral Agent of the number of Group 60-Day Delinquent Receivables;

(ii) within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Servicer of that notice from the Master Collateral Agent, render reasonable assistance, including granting access to copies of any underlying documents and Receivable Files and all other relevant documents, to the Asset Representations Reviewer to facilitate the performance of a review of all Group 60-Day Delinquent Receivables, pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, in order to verify compliance with the representations and warranties made by each Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by any Additional Transferor or designated to the related Group on a Re-Designation Date); provided, that the Servicer shall use its best efforts to redact any materials provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in order to remove any Personally Identifiable Information without changing the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials; and

(iii) provide such other reasonable assistance to the Asset Representations Reviewer as it requests in order to facilitate its Asset Representations Review of the Group 60-Day Delinquent Receivables pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

Section 11.2 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If (i) the Trust or (ii) the Majority Public Noteholders of a Group requests by written notice to (x) the Master Collateral Agent (which will be forwarded to the related Originator or the Servicer, as applicable) or (y) the related Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by any Additional Transferor or designated to the related Group on a Re-Designation Date) (any such party making a request, the “Requesting Party”), that a Receivable be reacquired or acquired due to an alleged breach of the Group Eligibility Representation with respect to that Receivable as set forth in Section 3.3 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, Section 3.3 of each Additional Transferor Receivables

Transfer Agreement or Section 2.7 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Requesting Party within one-hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of such request by the related Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by any Additional Transferor), then the Requesting Party, any Public Noteholder of the related Group or a Verified Note Owner of the related Group (each, a “Dispute Resolution Party”) will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or third-party binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.2. Dispute resolution to resolve reacquisition or acquisition requests will be available regardless of whether Public Noteholders of the related Group voted to direct an Asset Representations Review or whether the related Group Delinquency Trigger occurred. The Depositor will provide written direction to the Master Collateral Agent instructing it to notify the Requesting Party (directly if the Requesting Party is a Noteholder and through the applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to such Requesting Party, if the Requesting Party is a Note Owner, in accordance with the rules of such Clearing Agency) no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of the 180-day period of the date when the 180-day period ends without resolution by the appropriate party, which written direction will specify the identity of the Requesting Party and the date as of which that 180-day period shall have ended; provided, that the Master Collateral Agent shall have no other obligation whatsoever to participate in any dispute resolution, mediation or arbitration to determine if a reacquisition or acquisition request has been resolved within the applicable 180-day period. A Requesting Party must provide notice of its intention to refer the matter to mediation, to refer the matter to arbitration, or to institute a legal proceeding, to the Depositor within thirty (30) days after the delivery of notice of the end of the 180-day period. The Depositor will participate in the resolution method selected by any Dispute Resolution Party. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Owner Trustee nor any Indenture Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to participate in any dispute resolution, mediation or arbitration to determine if a reacquisition or acquisition request has been resolved within the applicable 180-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Master Collateral Agent does not agree to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any reacquisition or acquisition request or dispute resolution proceeding, any Public Noteholder of the related Group or any Verified Note Owner of the related Group may independently pursue dispute resolution in respect of such reacquisition or acquisition. If the Master Collateral Agent brings a dispute resolution action based on written direction by a Public Noteholder of a Group to do so, the “Requesting Party” and the “Dispute Resolution Party” shall be deemed to be the requesting Note Owner(s) (or the party to the arbitration) for purposes of the dispute resolution proceeding, including allocation of fees and expenses. The Master Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any costs, expenses and/or liabilities allocated to a Dispute Resolution Party as part of the dispute resolution proceeding. Further, the Master Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Series Related Documents or otherwise to monitor reacquisition or acquisition activity or to independently determine which reacquisition or acquisition requests remain unresolved after one-hundred eighty (180) days.

(b) If the Dispute Resolution Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i) The mediation will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Mediation Procedures in effect on the date the arbitration is filed.

(ii) The mediator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by JAMS. Upon being supplied a list of at least 10 potential mediators by JAMS each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference JAMS will select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

(iii) The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within thirty (30) days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within sixty (60) days of the start of the mediation.

(iv) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

(c) If the Dispute Resolution Party selects binding arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:

(i) The arbitration will be administered by the AAA pursuant its Arbitration Rules in effect on the date the arbitration is filed.

(ii) The arbitral panel will consist of three members, (i) one to be appointed by the Requesting Party within five (5) Business Days of providing notice to the Depositor of its selection of arbitration, (ii) one to be appointed by the Depositor within five (5) Business Days of that appointment and (iii) the third, who will preside over the panel, to be chosen by the two party-appointed arbitrators within five (5) Business Days of the second appointment. If any party fails to appoint an arbitrator or the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third within the stated time periods, then the appointments will be made by AAA pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. In each such case, each arbitrator will be impartial, knowledgeable about and experienced with the laws of the State of New York and an attorney specializing in commercial litigation with at least 15 years of experience.

(iii) Each arbitrator will be independent and will abide by the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Prior to accepting an appointment, each arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule. Any arbitrator may be removed by AAA for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

(iv) After consulting with the parties, the arbitral panel will devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within ninety (90) days after appointment. The arbitral panel will have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in

accordance with then-prevailing New York law (including prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

(v) Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) four (4) witness depositions not to exceed five (5) hours, and (B) one (1) set of interrogations, document requests, and requests for admissions; provided that the arbitral panel will have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitral panel determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

(vi) The arbitral panel will make its final determination no later than ninety (90) days after appointment. The arbitral panel will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and may not modify or change this Agreement in any way. The arbitral panel will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. In its final determination, the arbitral panel will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitral panel, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitral panel in its reasonable discretion. The determination in any binding arbitration of the arbitral panel will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The determination will be final and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(vii) By selecting binding arbitration, the selecting party is giving up the right to xxx in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(viii) No person may bring class or collective claims in arbitration even if the Arbitration Rules would allow them. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the arbitral panel may award money or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

(d) The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York; and

(ii) The details and/or existence of any unfulfilled reacquisition or acquisition request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 11.2, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled reacquisition or acquisition request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 11.2). This information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a

party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 11.2), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

Exhibit A

Custodian’s Security Requirements

EA-1

v2.1

Baseline Security Requirements

For Verizon Suppliers

The following information security requirements (“Requirements”) are generally applicable to Supplier engagements with Verizon. These Requirements are not intended to address specific security functionality or attributes of devices, software or systems sold, leased or licensed to Verizon by Supplier and will not limit more stringent or other security related Requirements set forth in this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, security industry terms used herein which are undefined in the Agreement have the meaning described in information security guidance issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or similarly regulatory bodies that issue industry accepted standards governing information security.

A.	Supplier Requirements

1.	Access Control

1.1. Supplier will limit information system access to authorized users, authorized processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or authorized devices (including other information systems), and such access will be limited to only those types of transactions and functions authorized users or devices are permitted to exercise.

1.2. Additionally, Supplier will:

Create, enable, modify, disable, and remove information system accounts in accordance with documented Supplier procedures.

Monitor the use of information system accounts.

Review, annually at minimum, user accounts to determine (i) if each user’s access is still the minimum necessary to perform assigned duties, and (ii) that access is still needed (i.e., least privilege principles are followed).

Enforce, document and define information system access authorizations to support separation of duties so as to limit the potential for a single individual to cause excessive harm.

Require personnel with access to administrator or privileged accounts to use non-privileged accounts or roles when performing non-privileged functions.

Audit the execution of Privileged Users actions and functions.

Prohibit non-privileged users from executing privileged functions, including, but not limited to, disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.

On a quarterly basis, review privileged and administrator accounts with access to systems, applications, or databases containing Verizon Highly Confidential data.
