The Issuer will engage the Servicer to service the Receivables.

The parties agree as follows:

Section 3.1 Engagement. The Issuer engages Cellco as the Servicer of the Receivables for the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, 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 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) providing to the Custodian copies, or access to, any documents that modify or supplement information in the Receivable Files; and

(viii) preparing and providing Monthly Investor Reports and any other periodic reports required to be prepared by the Servicer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(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 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 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 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 Noteholders. 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 Servicing Procedures. However, if the Servicer (i) grants payment extensions resulting in the final payment date of the Receivable being later than the Collection Period immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date for the latest maturing Class of Notes, (ii) 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, or (iii) modifies, supplements, amends or revises a Receivable to grant the Obligor under such Receivable a contractual right to upgrade the related Device, it will acquire the affected Receivable solely as described under Section 3.3, unless it is required to take the action by Law. In addition, if the Marketing Agent or the Servicer (x) applies a payment or grants a credit to an Obligor with respect to cancellations, prepayments or invoicing errors the Servicer may apply such credits either directly to the applicable device payment plan agreement or in accordance with its customary payment application procedures set forth above and (y) applies a payment or grants a credit to an Obligor under a Receivable in connection with an Upgrade Offer as set forth in Section 3.12(b), the Servicer will apply such credits directly to the applicable device payment plan agreement and will not apply such credits in accordance with its customary payment application procedures set forth above.

(c) Maintenance of Security Interests in the Receivables. The Servicer will maintain perfection of the security interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in each Receivable.

(d) No Impairment. The Servicer will not impair in any material respect the rights of the Issuer or the Noteholders in any Receivable except as permitted by this Agreement.

(e) Assignment for Enforcement. Effective as of the related Cutoff Date, the Receivables are assigned to the Servicer solely for the purpose of permitting the Servicer to perform its servicing and administrative obligations under this Agreement, including the start or pursuit of or participation in a legal proceeding to enforce its rights or remedies with respect to a Receivable or such other Proceeding otherwise related to a Receivable. If in a legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce its rights or remedies with respect to a Receivable on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce rights or remedies with respect to the Receivable, the Issuer will, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, assign the Receivable to the Servicer solely for that purpose or take steps to enforce its rights and remedies with respect to the Receivable, including bringing suit in the names of the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Issuer.

(f) Powers of Attorney. The Issuer appoints the Servicer as the Issuer’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to exercise all rights of the Issuer for the servicing and administration of the Receivables. This power of attorney, and all authority given, under this Section 3.2(f) is revocable and is given solely to facilitate the performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement and may only be used by the Servicer consistent with this Agreement. On request of the Servicer, the Issuer will furnish the Servicer with written powers of attorney and other documents to enable the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Release Documents. The Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders any documents of satisfaction, cancellation, partial or full release or discharge, and other comparable documents, for the Receivables.

(h) Enforcement of Receivables Under an Upgrade Offer. If an Obligor accepts an Upgrade Offer with respect to a Receivable but fails to satisfy the required terms and conditions related to such Upgrade Offer, the Servicer agrees to (i) not waive any amounts due by such Obligor under the related Receivable and pursue its Servicing Procedures against such Obligor in respect of the related Receivable until all amounts due under the related Receivable are received and (ii) enforce, on behalf of the Issuer, any rights and obligations under the related Receivable.

Section 3.3 Servicer’s Acquisition of Receivables.

(a) Acquisition for Servicer Modifications. If extensions, modifications, amendments, cancellations or waivers of Receivables or any terms thereof are made that would require such Receivables to be acquired under Section 3.2(b), the Servicer will acquire all such Receivables as set forth in Section 3.3(d).

(b) Acquisition for Breach of Servicer’s Obligations. If a Responsible Person of the Servicer receives written notice from the Depositor, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of the Servicer’s obligations in Section 3.2(c) or (d), and the Servicer fails to correct such failure or impairment in all material respects by the end of the second month following the month in which the Servicer received such written notice, the Servicer will acquire all Receivables with respect to which such breach was not so cured as set forth in Section 3.3(d).

(c) Acquisition for System Limitation or Inability to Service. If the Servicer, in its sole discretion, determines that as a result of a receivables systems error or receivables systems limitation or for any other reason the Servicer is unable to service a Receivable according to the Servicing Procedures and the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may acquire the relevant Receivable as set forth in Section 3.3(d).

(d) Acquisition of Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. For any acquisition of a Receivable by the Servicer under this Section 3.3, the Servicer will acquire the Receivable by remitting the related Acquisition Amount on or prior to the second Business Day before the next Payment Date. If Cellco is the Servicer, it may pay any Acquisition Amounts according to Section 4.3(c).

(e) Transfer and Assignment of Acquired Receivables. When the Servicer’s payment of the Acquisition Amount for a Receivable is included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred and assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the Receivable and all security and documents relating to the Receivable. The transfer and assignment will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except the representation that the Issuer 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 receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer the Receivable free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

(f) No Obligation to Investigate. None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Successor Servicer hereunder), the Sponsor, the Marketing Agent, the Depositor, the Parent Support Provider, the Administrator or the Servicer will be obligated to investigate whether a breach or other event has occurred that would require the acquisition of any Receivable under this Section 3.3 or whether any Receivables are otherwise required to be acquired under this Section 3.3.

(g) Acquisition is Sole Remedy. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, and the Secured Parties for any extension, modification, amendment, cancellation or waiver of a Receivable or any terms thereof under Section 3.2(b) or a breach of the covenants made by the Servicer in Section 3.2(c) or (d) is the Servicer’s acquisition of the Receivables, as described under this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Sale of Written-Off Receivables. The Servicer may sell to any third party a Receivable that has been written off. Proceeds of any sale allocable to the Written-Off Receivable will be Recoveries. Any Recoveries will be paid to the Servicer as Supplemental Servicing Fees and will not be a part of Available Funds. If the Servicer elects to sell a Written-Off Receivable, the Receivable will be deemed to have been transferred and assigned by the Issuer to the Servicer immediately before the sale by the Servicer. After the sale, the Servicer will xxxx its receivables systems to indicate that the Written-Off Receivable sold is no longer a Receivable and may take any action necessary or advisable to transfer the receivable free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

Section 3.5 Servicer Reports and Compliance Statements.

(a) Monthly Investor Report.

(i) On or about the 15th day of each month, and in no case later than at least two (2) Business Days before each Payment Date, the Servicer will deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Note Paying Agent, the Cap Counterparty, the Rating Agencies and the Administrator a servicing report (the “Monthly Investor Report”) for that Payment Date and the related Collection Period. The Monthly Investor Report will include (i) an Acquisition Date Supplement if the Collection Period includes an Acquisition Date and (ii) a statement as to whether or not a Delinquency Trigger has occurred in respect of the related Collection Period, together with reasonably detailed calculations thereof. A Responsible Person of the Servicer will certify that the information in the Monthly Investor Report is accurate in all material respects. The Monthly Investor Report will also be posted on the Indenture Trustee’s password protected website located at xxxxx://xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx.

(ii) The Sponsor, in its capacity as Servicer, will include information about the pool of Initial Receivables and the disclosure required by Section 246.4(c)(1)(ii) of the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules in the Monthly Investor Report for the first Payment Date, which Monthly Investor Report will also be included in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D filed with the Commission for the related Collection Period.

(b) Credit Enhancement and Pool Composition Tests. On or before each Payment Date and each Acquisition Date, the Servicer will determine whether the pool of Receivables to be held by the Issuer as of the related Cutoff Date, including any Additional Receivables to be acquired, satisfies the Credit Enhancement Test and each Pool Composition Test. If the pool of Receivables does not satisfy all of the Pool Composition Tests, the Administrator may identify Receivables in the pool as Temporarily Excluded Receivables so that the remaining Receivables in the pool will satisfy all of the Pool Composition Tests; provided, that the Administrator may only deem Receivables to be Temporarily Excluded Receivables if the Overcollateralization Target Amount is reached as of the close of business on such date of determination, without taking into account the Temporarily Excluded Receivables. In addition, the Principal Balance of any Temporarily Excluded Receivables will be subtracted from the Adjusted Pool Balance for purposes of calculating the Credit Enhancement Test. The Servicer will state on the Acquisition Date Supplement for each Collection Period for which there is an Acquisition Date the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables deemed Temporarily Excluded Receivables. For the avoidance of doubt, Collections on Temporarily Excluded Receivables (solely during the time that they are Temporarily Excluded Receivables) will not constitute Available Funds and, up to the amount of the Temporarily Excluded Receivables Servicing Fee will be distributed to the Servicer, and any remaining amounts will be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders in the priority set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Trust Agreement. The Administrator may, at its sole option, designate Receivables that were deemed Temporarily Excluded Receivables on any prior date to no longer be deemed Temporarily Excluded Receivables as long as after such designation by the Administrator, all of the Pool Composition Tests either will remain satisfied or will not be adversely affected.

(c) Amortization Events. In connection with the preparation of each Monthly Investor Report, the Servicer will review the Amortization Events and determine whether an Amortization Event occurred during the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Collection Period (after giving effect to any acquisition of Additional Receivables during such Collection Period), and the Monthly Investor Report shall indicate whether or not an Amortization Event has occurred.

(d) Remittance Reports. For as long as the Servicer and the Marketing Agent are depositing Collections pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii) and depositing any required Upgrade Payments 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, the Servicer will provide a written report (which may be electronically submitted) to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Paying Agent on each such deposit or remittance date setting forth (x) the aggregate dollar amount deposited or remitted into the Collection Account by the Servicer, the Marketing Agent or an Originator on such date, (y) the aggregate dollar amount of Collections deposited by the Servicer on such date and (z) the aggregate number of Annual Upgrade Offers accepted since the deposit or remittance date immediately preceding the related deposit or remittance date, and the aggregate amount of Upgrade Payments remitted by the Marketing Agent or an Originator on such date.

(e) Notice of Secured Receivables. The Servicer will provide notice to the Rating Agencies if the Originators or the Master Trust begin to include Receivables that are secured by the underlying Device as Additional Receivables.

Section 3.6 Review of Servicer’s Records. The Servicer will maintain records and documents relating to its performance under this Agreement according to its customary business practices. Upon reasonable request not more than once during any calendar year, and with reasonable notice, the Servicer will give the Issuer, the Depositor, the Parent Support Provider, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (or their representatives) access to the records and documents to conduct a review of the Servicer’s performance under this Agreement. Any access or review will be conducted by all parties at the same time at the Servicer’s offices during its normal business hours at a time reasonably convenient to the Servicer and in a manner that will minimize disruption to its business operations. Any access or review will be subject to the Servicer’s security, confidentiality and privacy policies and any regulatory, legal and data protection policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to access or review any records of the Servicer shall not be deemed to be an obligation of the Indenture Trustee to do so.

Section 3.7 Servicer’s Authorized and Responsible Persons. On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and provide a specimen signature of each Person who (a) is authorized to give instructions and directions to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Servicer and (b) is a Responsible Person for the Servicer. The Servicer may change such Persons at any time by notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

Section 3.8 Servicer’s Fees. As compensation for performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Servicer will be paid the Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, the Issuer

will pay the Servicing Fee to the Servicer according to Section 8.2 of the Indenture. In addition, the Servicer may retain any Supplemental Servicing Fees. The Servicer will also receive the Temporarily Excluded Receivables Servicing Fee on each Payment Date, which will be payable solely from Collections on the Temporarily Excluded Receivables, as set forth in Section 3.5(b).

Section 3.9 Servicer’s Expenses. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Servicer will pay all its expenses for servicing the Receivables under this Agreement, including fees and expenses of legal counsel and independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses to prepare reports, certificates or notices under this Agreement.

(c) Delivery of Receivable Files. The Receivable Files are or will be constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer under the Indenture, and the Custodian confirms to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it has received the Receivable Files for the Initial Receivables and, by its delivery (in its capacity as Servicer) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of an Acquisition Date Supplement, will be deemed to confirm to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that it has received the Receivable Files for the Additional Receivables. No initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee is required.

(d) Location of Receivable Files. The Custodian will maintain the Receivable Files (or access to any Receivable Files stored in an electronic format) at one of its offices or the offices of one of its custodians in the United States.

Cellco’s appointment as custodian is effective as of the Initial Cutoff Date and will continue until the later of (i) the date on which all obligations of the Issuer have been paid in full and (ii) the date on which such appointment is terminated under this Section 3.10(f). If the Servicer resigns under Section 7.1 or is terminated under Section 7.2, the Servicer’s appointment as custodian under this Agreement may be terminated in the same manner as the Servicer may be terminated under Section 7.2. As soon as practicable after any termination of its appointment as custodian and subject to the legal, regulatory, confidentiality, privacy and data protection policies of the Custodian and Cellco, the Custodian will deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or its designee or successor custodian at a place designated by the Indenture Trustee. All reasonable expenses of transferring the Receivable Files to the designee or successor custodian will be paid by the terminated custodian on receipt of an invoice in reasonable detail.

(g) No Agency. Neither the Custodian nor the Servicer shall be deemed to be an agent of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Custodian or the Servicer.

Section 3.11 Marketing Agent.

(a) Appointment of Marketing Agent. The Issuer and the Servicer appoint Cellco to act as Marketing Agent for the Receivables. Cellco accepts the appointment and agrees to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Duties of the Marketing Agent. The Marketing Agent will be required to remit, or to cause the related Originator to remit, to the Collection Account the amounts set forth in Sections 4.3(g), (h) and (i).

(c) Fees and Expenses of the Marketing Agent. Fees and expenses, if any, of the Marketing Agent will be paid by the Originators, as separately agreed to under the Marketing Agent Agency Agreement.

(d) Covenants of the Marketing Agent. The Marketing Agent will not (i) make any Upgrade Offers that waive any obligations of an Obligor under the related device payment plan agreement, (ii) eliminate the obligation of Verizon Wireless to pay off a device payment plan agreement if an Obligor satisfies the related terms and conditions thereof, or (iii) eliminate or

impair any third party beneficiary rights of an assignee under an Upgrade Offer, including the right of such assignee to enforce Verizon Wireless’ payment obligation under any Upgrade Offer.

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 Indenture Trustee 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 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 the Rating Agencies 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 Issuer, 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, 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.

The Servicer may direct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to the Servicer, or as directed by the Servicer, amounts that are not Available Funds for a Collection Period or that were deposited into the Collection Account in error. Following the

payment in full of the Notes and the release of the Bank Accounts from the Lien of the Indenture, the Bank Accounts will be under the control of the Issuer

(c) Benefit of Accounts; Deposits and Withdrawals. The Bank Accounts and all cash, money, securities, investments, financial assets and other property deposited in or credited to them will be held by the Note Paying Agent for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee as secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, after payment in full of the Notes and the release of the Bank Accounts from the Lien of the Indenture, as agent of the Issuer and as part of the Trust Property. All deposits to and withdrawals from the Bank Accounts will be made according to the Transaction Documents.

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

(e) Compliance. Each Bank Account will be subject to the Account Control Agreement. The Servicer will ensure that the Account Control Agreement requires the Qualified Institution maintaining the Bank Accounts to comply with “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) from the Indenture Trustee without further consent of the Issuer, if the Notes are Outstanding, and to act as a “securities intermediary” according to the UCC.

(f) Agreements With Respect to Accounts. The Servicer, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary agree as follows:

(i) each of the Bank Accounts is, and will be maintained as, a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC);

(ii) the Securities Intermediary is acting, and will act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in the UCC) with respect to the Bank Accounts;

(iii) this Agreement (together with the Indenture and the Account Control Agreement) is the only agreement entered into among the parties with respect to the Bank Accounts and the parties will not enter into any other agreement related to the Bank Accounts; and

(iv) at the time this Agreement was entered into and the Bank Accounts were established, the Securities Intermediary has one or more offices in the United States of America that maintains the securities accounts.

Section 4.2 Investment of Funds in Bank Accounts.

(a) Permitted Investments. If (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Cellco is the Servicer, the Servicer may instruct the Indenture Trustee to invest any funds in the Collection Account, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account and the Negative Carry Account in Permitted Investments and, if investment instructions are received, the Indenture Trustee will direct the Qualified Institution maintaining the Bank Accounts to invest the funds in the Collection Account, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account or the Negative Carry Account, as applicable, in those Permitted Investments; provided, that, if on any Payment

Date, the amount on deposit in the Acquisition Account (after giving effect to the acquisition of any Additional Receivables on such date) is greater than 25% of the aggregate Note Balance (after giving effect to any payments made on the Notes on such date), the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to invest any amounts in the Acquisition Account in excess of such amount in any Permitted Investments, other than (x) any investments set forth in clauses (b) or (c) of the definition of Permitted Investments that are held by or at the Indenture Trustee or (y) any investments set forth in clause (e) of the definition thereof. If (i) the Servicer fails to give investment instructions for any funds in the Collection Account, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account or the Negative Carry Account to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York time (or other time as may be agreed by the Indenture Trustee) on the Business Day before a Payment Date or (ii) the Qualified Institution receives notice from the Indenture Trustee that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Qualified Institution will invest and reinvest funds in such Bank 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 Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee 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, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account and the Negative Carry Account will remain uninvested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2(a) or in the Transaction Documents, the Servicer shall not allow amounts held in the Collection Account or the Acquisition 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 and the Reserve Account (or any reinvestments of the Permitted Investments) for a Collection Period must mature, if applicable, and be available no later than the second Business Day before the related Payment Date and any Permitted Investments of funds in the Acquisition Account and the Negative Carry Account (or any reinvestments of the Permitted Investments) for a Collection Period must mature or be available overnight. 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 under Section 5.6 of the Indenture.

(c) No Liability for Investments. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent or the Qualified Institution maintaining any Bank 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 Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent to make any investment of funds or to sell any investment held in the Bank Accounts unless the security interest Granted and perfected in the account in favor of the Indenture Trustee 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, the Acquisition Account, the Reserve Account and the Negative Carry Account will be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account 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) Closing Date and Acquisition Date Deposit. On the Closing Date and on each Acquisition Date, the Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received and applied as interest or principal on the Initial Receivables or the Additional Receivables, as applicable, during the period from the related Cutoff Date to two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date or Acquisition Date, as applicable.

(b) Deposit of Collections.

(i) If Cellco is the Servicer and (x) Verizon’s long-term unsecured debt is rated equal to or higher than “A” by Fitch, “Baa2” by Xxxxx’x and “A” by S&P (the “Monthly Deposit Required Ratings”), (y) Verizon guarantees certain payment obligations of Cellco, as Servicer, as provided in the Parent Support Agreement and (z) no Servicer Termination Event has occurred, the Servicer may deposit Collections into the Collection Account on the second Business Day before each Payment Date.

(ii) For as long as (x) Verizon’s long-term unsecured debt is not rated at least the Monthly Deposit Required Ratings, (y) Verizon does not guaranty certain payment obligations of Cellco, as Servicer or (z) a Servicer Termination Event occurs, 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 Indenture Trustee and the Note 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) Acquisition Amounts for the Payment Date, 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) Acquisition Amounts for the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent will pay to Cellco from 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 Indenture Trustee, 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) Negative Carry Account Deposits. Any Certificateholder may, at its option, deposit funds into the Negative Carry Account on any date.

(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 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 Acquisition 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.

Section 4.4 Reserve Account; Negative Carry Account; Acquisition Account.

(a) Initial Reserve Account Deposit. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit or cause to be deposited the Required Reserve Amount into the Reserve Account from the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes.

(b) Reserve Account Draw Amount. On or before two (2) Business Days before a Payment Date, the Servicer will calculate the Reserve Account Draw Amount for the Payment Date and will direct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw from the Reserve Account and deposit into the Collection Account on or before the Payment Date (x) the Reserve Account Draw Amount and (y) any amount in excess of the Required Reserve Amount for such Payment Date, after giving effect to the withdrawal of the Reserve Account Draw Amount with respect to such Payment Date.

(i) To the extent that the Class A Certificateholder, solely at its option, deposits any amounts into the Acquisition Account, pursuant to Section 4.4(d)(i), the Class A Certificateholder will deposit into the Negative Carry Account an amount equal to the Required Negative Carry Amount related to such amount deposited into the Acquisition Account on such date.

(ii) On or before two (2) Business Days before a Payment Date, the Servicer will calculate the Negative Carry Account Draw Amount for the Payment Date and will instruct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw from the Negative Carry Account and deposit the Negative Carry Account Draw Amount into the Collection Account on or before the Payment Date.

(iii) On each Payment Date, any amounts in the Negative Carry Account in excess of the Required Negative Carry Amount, after giving effect to any acquisition of Receivables on such Payment Date, shall be withdrawn from the Negative Carry Account and deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account, for distribution to the Certificateholders in the priority set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Trust Agreement.

(iv) On or before the first Payment Date during the Amortization Period, the Servicer will direct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw all funds in the Negative Carry Account and deposit the funds into the Collection Account.

(d) Acquisition Account Amounts.

(i) From time to time, the Class A Certificateholder may, solely at its option, deposit amounts into the Acquisition Account, as set forth in Section 2.5 of the Trust Agreement.

(ii) On or before two (2) Business Days before an Acquisition Date, the Issuer, or the Servicer on its behalf, will direct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw the Additional Receivables Cash Transfer Amount from the Acquisition Account and pay that amount to the Depositor on the Acquisition Date in consideration for the acquisition of Additional Receivables by the Issuer on the Acquisition Date.

(iii) On each Payment Date, any amounts in the Acquisition Account in excess of the Required Acquisition Deposit Amount, after giving effect to any acquisition of Receivables on such Payment Date, shall be withdrawn from the Acquisition Account and deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account, for distribution to the Certificateholders in the priority set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Trust Agreement.

(iv) On or before the first Payment Date during the Amortization Period, the Servicer will direct the Note Paying Agent to withdraw all funds in the Acquisition Account and deposit the funds into the Collection Account.

(e) Release of Funds. The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding, release any remaining portion of the Collection Account from the Lien of the Indenture and release to or to the order of the Issuer or, in the case of the Reserve Account, to the Depositor.

Section 4.5 Direction to Indenture Trustee for Distributions. On or about the 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 Indenture Trustee or Note 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 8.2 of the Indenture and Section 4.3(c) of this Agreement.

The Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of a Proceeding at its expense. If the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, notifies the Indemnified Person of its intention to assume the defense of the Proceeding, the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, will assume such defense with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, and will not be liable for fees and expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Person unless there is a conflict between the interests of the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, and the Indemnified Person.

No settlement of the Proceeding in which a claim is brought against the Servicer or the Marketing Agent may be settled in the name of, on behalf of, or in any manner in which the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable, is understood to acknowledge the validity of any claim without the approval of the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, respectively, and the Indemnified Person, which approvals will not be unreasonably withheld.

Each of the Servicer’s and the Marketing Agent’s obligations under this Section 6.3, for the period it was the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, respectively, will survive the Servicer’s or the Marketing Agent’s, as applicable, resignation or termination, the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and the termination of the Issuer.

(d) Repayment. If the Servicer or the Marketing Agent makes a payment to an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.3 and the Indemnified Person later collects from others any amounts for which the payment was made, the Indemnified Person will promptly repay those amounts to the Servicer or the Marketing Agent, as applicable.

(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), which failure has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders and continues for ninety (90) days after the Servicer receives written notice of the failure from the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; 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 Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or any event that with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would become a 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 Issuer will promptly notify the Rating Agencies and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(c) Removal. If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may and, if directed by the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, must remove the Servicer and terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement by notifying the Servicer, the Issuer, the Parent Support Provider, the Owner Trustee, and the Secured Parties.

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 Issuer will promptly notify the Rating Agencies 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 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 as set forth in Section 8.3.

Section 7.4 Successor Servicer.

(a) Engagement of Successor Servicer; Indenture Trustee to Act.

(i) If the Servicer resigns or is terminated under this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee 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 consumer 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 Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee becomes the Successor Servicer, it (A) will do so in its individual capacity and

not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, Article VI of the Indenture will be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee solely in its capacity as Successor Servicer and (B) may appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates, but the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, will be liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate. If the Indenture Trustee 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 consumer receivables and can accommodate the servicing of device payment plan agreements, as successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee. The Successor Servicer will deliver a copy of the assumption, amendment or new servicing agreement to the other parties and the Indenture Trustee. The Successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee as Successor Servicer) will accept its engagement as Administrator according to Section 3.5 of the Administration Agreement. Promptly following a Successor Servicer’s acceptance of its engagement, the Indenture Trustee will notify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Secured Parties of the engagement. On receipt of a notice of engagement, the Issuer will promptly notify the Rating Agencies 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no Successor Servicer will be required to assume or undertake the obligations of Cellco, as Servicer, under ~~Section~~Sections 3.4 and 4.7 of the Master Trust Receivables Transfer Agreement or ~~Section~~Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of this Agreement. No Successor Servicer shall have any liability for the acts or omissions of any predecessor Servicer.

(c) Compensation of Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee 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 a fee of $150,000 payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or 8.2(e) of the Indenture, as applicable, and thereafter, will be entitled to the Additional Successor Servicer Fee, which will be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.2(c) or 8.2(e) of the Indenture, as applicable.

(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 Indenture Trustee, 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 Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer and Indenture Trustee. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee 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 Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee 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.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger with respect to any Collection Period, the Servicer will promptly send to the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder (and to each applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to Note Owners in accordance with the rules of such Clearing Agency) as of the most recent Record Date a notice describing (i) the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, and including reasonably detailed calculations thereof, and (ii) the rights of the Noteholders and Note Owners regarding an Asset Representations Review (including a description of the method by which Noteholders and Note Owners may contact the Indenture Trustee in order to request a Noteholder vote in respect of an Asset Representations Review). In connection with the foregoing, upon request from the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall provide a list of the Noteholders of record as of the most recent Record Date. 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 Noteholders concerning whether the Delinquency Trigger has occurred.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee notifies the Servicer pursuant to 14.2 of the Indenture that sufficient Noteholders have voted within the required time to initiate an Asset Representations Review of all 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 Indenture Trustee of the number of 60-Day Delinquent Receivables;

(ii) within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Servicer of that notice from the Indenture Trustee, 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 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 to the Issuer by the Depositor; 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 60-Day Delinquent Receivables pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

Section 11.2 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If (i) the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee (acting on behalf of the Noteholders) or (ii) any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner requests, by written notice to (x) the Indenture Trustee (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 the Master Trust) (any such party making a request, the “Requesting Party”), that a Receivable be reacquired or acquired due to an alleged breach of the Eligibility Representation with respect to that Receivable as set forth in Section 3.3 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.3 of the Master Trust Receivables Transfer Agreement, respectively, 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 the Master Trust), then the Requesting 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 Noteholders and Note Owners voted to direct an Asset Representations Review or whether the Delinquency Trigger occurred. The Depositor will provide written direction to the Indenture Trustee 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 Indenture Trustee 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. The 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 the Requesting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee shall have no 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 Indenture Trustee does not agree to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any reacquisition or acquisition request or dispute resolution proceeding, the related Noteholders or Verified Note Owners may independently pursue dispute resolution in respect of such reacquisition or acquisition. If the Indenture Trustee brings a dispute resolution action based on Noteholder direction to do so, the “Requesting Party” shall be deemed to be the requesting Note Owners (or the party to the arbitration) for purposes of the dispute resolution proceeding, including allocation of fees and expenses. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any costs, expenses and/or liabilities allocated to a Requesting Party as part of

the dispute resolution proceeding. Further, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise to monitor reacquisition or acquisition activity or to independently determine which reacquisition or acquisition requests remain unresolved after 180 days.

(b) If the Requesting 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.

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.

(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.

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.
