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.

The parties agree as follows:

(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

 

 

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 $17,170,880.34 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

 

 

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.

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

(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 or the Issuer 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 ▇▇▇▇ 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.

(c)          shall (i) take such further action, and (ii) provide such information in the possession of such Originator to the extent the same is not subject to a duty of confidentiality, in each case, (A) as may reasonably be required to satisfy the EU Retention Rules as they apply as of the Closing Date and, in the case of the requirement specified in sub-paragraph (ii), as they apply following the Closing Date, and (B) at the cost and expense of the party seeking such further action, information or agreements;

 

(d)          shall confirm or shall cause Cellco to confirm on its behalf in writing its continuing compliance with the undertakings set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator, (i) on a monthly basis and (ii) at any time upon the notification by the Administrator to the Originators (a) that the Administrator has determined that the performance of the Notes or the risk characteristics of the Notes or of the Receivables has materially changed or (b) following a breach of the obligations included herein; and

 

(e)          shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator in writing if for any reason: (i) it has ceased to hold the EU Retained Interest in accordance with paragraph (a) above; (ii) it has failed to comply with the undertakings set out in paragraphs (b) and (c) above in any way; or (iii) any of the representations of such Originator with respect to the EU Retention Rules contained herein fail to be true on any date.
