ORIGINATOR RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of October 8, 2019 (this “Agreement”), between THE VARIOUS ORIGINATORS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY HERETO (each, an “Originator”), and
VERIZON ABS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the “Depositor”).
BACKGROUND
In the normal course of their businesses, the Originators originate device payment plan agreements under contracts entered into by such Originator or Verizon Wireless Services, LLC or another affiliate
of such Originator, as agent of each Originator.
In connection with a securitization transaction sponsored by Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Cellco”) in which Verizon Owner Trust 2019-C, as issuer (the “Issuer”), will issue
Notes secured by a pool of Receivables consisting of device payment plan agreements, the Originators have determined to transfer a pool of Receivables and related property on the Closing Date and additional 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:

TRANSFER OF ORIGINATOR TRANSFERRED PROPERTY
Section 2.1. Transfers and Absolute Assignments of Originator Transferred Property.
(a) Transfer and Absolute Assignment of Initial Receivables. Effective on the
Closing Date and immediately before the transactions under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, each Originator transfers and absolutely assigns to the Depositor, without recourse (other than such Originator’s
obligations under this Agreement), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or later acquired, in the Initial Receivables originated by such Originator and the other related Originator Transferred Property. The Initial
Receivables transferred by each Originator will be set forth in the electronic file delivered to the Depositor on the Closing Date.
(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, each applicable Originator will transfer and absolutely assign to the Depositor, without recourse (other than such Originator’s obligations under this Agreement),
all of such Originator’s right, title and
-1-
interest, whether then owned or later acquired, in the Additional Receivables originated by such Originator and the other related Originator Transferred Property. The Administrator, with the assistance of each
Originator, will select each pool of Receivables to be transferred and assigned by each Originator and acquired by the Depositor (and subsequently the Issuer) on each Acquisition Date, which Receivables will be set forth in the electronic file
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 any Originator to the Obligors or any other Person relating to the Receivables and the other Originator 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 Originator 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) Originator’s Certifications. Each Originator transferring
Additional Receivables on such Acquisition Date severally certifies solely with respect to itself that:
(A) |
as of such Acquisition Date, (1) such Originator is Solvent and will not become insolvent as a result of the absolute assignment of the related Additional Receivables on the Acquisition Date, (2) such Originator does not intend to
incur or believe that it would incur debts that would be beyond the Originator’s ability to pay as the debts matured and (3) the absolute assignment of the related Additional Receivables is not made by such Originator with actual intent
to hinder, delay or defraud any Person; and
|
(B) |
each of such Originator’s representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2 (solely with respect to the related Additional Receivables) and 3.3 (solely with respect to the related Additional Receivables) will be true and correct as
of the Acquisition Date.
|
The delivery by the Administrator, on behalf of the Originators transferring Additional Receivables on an Acquisition Date, of the Transfer Notice will be considered a certification by each applicable
Originator that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1(d) have been satisfied or will be satisfied on the Acquisition Date.

Section 2.2. Acquisition of Receivables.
(a) Acquisition of Initial Receivables. In consideration for the Initial
Receivables and the other related Originator Transferred Property, the Depositor will distribute to the Originators $30,733,287.39 in the aggregate on the Closing Date, and will transfer collectively to the Originators a portion of the Class A
Certificate for the benefit of each Originator in proportion to the Initial Receivables transferred by each Originator. The Depositor, on the one hand, and each Originator, on the other hand, represents and warrants to the other that the amount
distributed by the Depositor to such Originator on the Closing Date, together with the portion of the Class A Certificate allocated to such Originator, is equal to the fair market value of the Initial Receivables and the other related Originator
Transferred Property transferred by such Originator to the Depositor on the Closing Date.
(b) Acquisition of Additional Receivables. In consideration for the Additional
Receivables and the other related Originator Transferred Property transferred by the Originators, the Depositor will (i) distribute to the Originators 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, the Originators 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 held by the Originators, as evidenced by the Class A Certificate, in each case, for the benefit of each Originator in proportion to the Additional Receivables
transferred by each Originator on such Acquisition Date. Each Originator, 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) in the immediately
preceding sentence distributed by the Depositor to such Originator on such Acquisition Date will equal the fair market value of the Additional Receivables and the other related Originator Transferred Property transferred by such Originator to the
Depositor on such Acquisition Date.
Section 2.3. Acknowledgement of Further Assignments. Each Originator acknowledges that (a) under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will transfer
and assign all of its right, title and interest in the Originator Transferred Property and related property and rights to the Issuer and (b) under the Indenture, the Issuer will assign and pledge the Originator Transferred Property and related
property and rights to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
Section 2.4. Savings Clause. Each Originator and the Depositor intend that each assignment under this Agreement be an absolute assignment of the Originator
Transferred Property, conveying good title to the Originator Transferred Property free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, from such Originator to the Depositor. Each Originator and the Depositor intend that the Originator Transferred
Property transferred by such Originator not be a part of such Originator’s estate if there is a bankruptcy or insolvency of such Originator. If, despite the intent of each Originator and the Depositor, a transfer of the Originator Transferred
Property transferred by such Originator under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge for a financing or is determined not to be an absolute assignment, each Originator Grants to the Depositor a security interest in such Originator’s right, title
and interest in the Originator Transferred Property transferred by it to secure a loan in an amount equal to all amounts payable
-3-
by such Originator 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.

indicated to be subject to a current bankruptcy proceeding on the records of the related Originator 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 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

(n) the Receivable was originated in, and is subject to the Laws of, a jurisdiction which

Receivable;
(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
(q) as of the related Cutoff Date, neither the Originator’s receivables systems nor the
Receivable File indicates that the Receivable was satisfied or rescinded.
Section 3.4. Originator Reacquisition of Receivables for Breach of Representations.
(a) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Person of an Originator receives
written notice from the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee that the Eligibility Representation was breached when made, then, in each case, such Originator will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and
determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the Issuer. Such Originator 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 Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, 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 reacquired under this Section 3.4. In addition, with respect to 60-Day Delinquent Receivables subject to an Asset Representations Review, the related Originator will have the sole ability to
determine if there was non-compliance with the Eligibility Representation made by it with respect to those
-8-
60-Day Delinquent Receivables that constitutes a breach, and whether to reacquire or acquire, as applicable, those Receivables from the Issuer.
(b) Reacquisition of Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. If an Originator
chooses to cure a breach of the Eligibility Representation that has a material adverse effect on the Issuer, such breach must be cured by such Originator by the end of the second month following the month the Responsible Person of such Originator
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 such Originator must reacquire any such Receivable transferred by it to the Depositor for which the
Eligibility Representation was breached. Each Originator will reacquire the Receivables transferred by it 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 Reacquired Receivable. When an Originator’s payment
of the Acquisition Amount for its Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred and absolutely assigned to such Originator, 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 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) Reacquisition Sole Remedy. The sole remedy against any Originator for a breach
of an Originator’s Eligibility Representation is to require such Originator to reacquire the related Receivables under this Section 3.4. The Depositor will enforce each Originator’s reacquisition 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) Dispute Resolution. Each Originator agrees 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 each Originator as of the Closing Date 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.
-9-
(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.
(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.

(a) Filing of Financing Statements. The Originators will file, or will cause to be
filed, financing and continuation statements, and amendments to the statements, in the jurisdictions and with the filing offices necessary to perfect the Depositor’s interest in the Originator Transferred Property. The Originators will promptly
deliver, or will cause to be delivered, to the Depositor file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any financing statement, continuation statement and amendment to a previously filed financing statement.
(b) Depositor Authorized to File Financing Statements. Each Originator authorizes
the Depositor to file financing and continuation statements, and amendments to the statements, in the jurisdictions and with the filing offices as the Depositor may determine are necessary or advisable to perfect the Depositor’s interest in the
Originator Transferred Property. The financing and continuation statements may describe the Originator Transferred Property as the Depositor may reasonably determine to perfect the Depositor’s interest in the Originator Transferred Property.
(c) Relocation of an Originator. Each Originator will notify the Depositor at
least ten (10) days before a relocation of its chief executive office or change in its corporate structure, form of organization or jurisdiction of organization if it could require the filing of a new financing statement or an amendment to a
previously filed financing statement under Section 9-307 of the UCC. If required, such Originator will promptly file, or will cause to be filed, new financing statements or amendments to all previously filed financing statements. Each Originator
will maintain its chief executive office within the United States and will maintain its jurisdiction of organization in only one State.
(d) Change of an Originator’s Name. Each Originator will notify the Depositor at
least ten (10) days before any change in such Originator’s name that could make a financing statement filed under this Section 4.1 seriously misleading under Section 9-506 of the UCC. If required, such Originator will promptly file, or will cause to
be filed, amendments to all previously filed financing statements.
Section 4.2. No Transfer or Lien by an Originator. Except for the transfer and absolute assignment under this Agreement, no Originator will transfer or absolutely
assign any Originator 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 Originator Transferred Property. Each
Originator will defend the Depositor’s interest in the Originator Transferred Property transferred and absolutely assigned by such Originator to the Depositor against claims of third parties claiming through such Originator.
-11-
Section 4.3. Expenses. Each Originator will pay all expenses, to the extent attributable to such Originator, to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the
Depositor’s reasonable expenses to perfect the Depositor’s interest in the Originator Transferred Property transferred by such Originator to the Depositor and to enforce such Originator’s obligations under this Agreement.
Section 4.4. Originator’s Receivables Systems. Each Originator will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that any Receivable absolutely assigned by such
Originator to the Depositor is owned by the Depositor or its assignee on the Closing Date or the related Acquisition Date, as applicable, and will not change the indication until the Receivable has been paid in full by the Obligor, reacquired by such
Originator, acquired by the Servicer or the Marketing Agent or sold to a third party, as applicable, under a Transaction Document.
Section 4.5. Review of Originator’s Records. Each Originator will maintain records and documents relating to the origination and underwriting of the Receivables
according to its customary business practices. Upon reasonable request not more than once during any calendar year, and with reasonable notice, each Originator will give the Depositor (or its representative) access to the records and documents to
conduct a review of such Originator’s performance under this Agreement and the Eligibility Representations made by such Originator about the Receivables absolutely assigned by such Originator to the Depositor. Any access or review will be conducted
at an Originator’s offices during its normal business hours at a time reasonably convenient to such Originator and in a manner that will minimize disruption to its business operations. Any access or review will be subject to such Originator’s
security, confidentiality and privacy policies and any regulatory, legal or data protection policies.
Section 4.6. Reacquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables.
(a) Reacquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount.
If a Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable, the related Originator must reacquire any such Receivable from the Issuer. Each Originator will reacquire 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 reacquired by any Originator, in the aggregate, will not exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables (calculated as of the Initial Cutoff Date) transferred by that Originator to
the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer on the Closing Date, and no Originator shall be required to reacquire any Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables in excess of such limit.
(b) Transfer and Assignment of Reacquired Receivable. When an Originator’s payment
of the Acquisition Amount for its Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred and absolutely assigned to such Originator, 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
-12-
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 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 each Originator’s
reacquisition obligation under this Section 4.6.
Section 4.7. Regulation RR Risk Retention. Each Originator agrees that it (i) shall collectively with the other Originators, retain, directly or through their
nominee, the Residual Interest on the Closing Date and (ii) shall not sell, transfer, finance or hedge the Residual Interest except as permitted by the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules.
