THIS ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT, dated as of May 25, 2021 (this “Agreement”), is among VERIZON MASTER TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust, as grantor (the “Grantor”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as Master Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in this capacity, the “Secured Party”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, in its capacity as both a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC and a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in these capacities, the “Financial Institution”).

 

 

The Grantor is engaging in financing transactions in which it will become obligated under Credit Extensions issued under certain Trust Financing Agreements, and the Secured Party will hold funds in bank accounts for the benefit of the Creditors.

 

The parties are entering into this Agreement to perfect the security interest in the bank accounts.

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

 

Section 1.1          Usage and Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement are defined in Appendix A to the Master Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, among the Trust, Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, as servicer (the “Servicer”), U.S. Bank National Association, as master collateral agent (the “Master Collateral Agent”), and each Creditor Representative from time to time party thereto (the “Master Collateral Agreement”).  Appendix A also contains usage rules that apply to this Agreement.  Appendix A is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.  References to the “UCC” mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Hague Securities Convention” means The Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (Concluded 5 July 2006), which became effective in the United States of America on April 1, 2017.

 

 

Section 2.1          Description of Accounts.  Pursuant to this Agreement and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer and the Financial Institution have established the following account, subject to the lien of the Master Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Account”):

 

“Collection Account – U.S. Bank National Association, as Master Collateral Agent, as secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties of Verizon Master Trust” with account number ###-###-####.

 

Section 2.2          Account Changes.  Neither the Financial Institution nor the Grantor will change the name or account number of the Collateral Account without the consent of the Secured Party.  The Financial Institution will promptly notify the Servicer of any changes to the name or account number of the Collateral Account.  This Agreement will apply to each successor account to the Collateral Account, which will also be the Collateral Account.

 

Section 2.3          Account Types.  The Grantor, the Financial Institution and the Secured Party hereby confirm and agree that the Collateral Account is either a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC) or a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).  The Grantor, the Financial Institution and the Secured Party acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Account is intended to be a “securities account.”  Notwithstanding such intention, (x) if the Collateral Account constitutes a “deposit account” under the UCC, the provisions of this Agreement governing a “deposit account” shall apply to the Collateral Account and (y) as used herein “deposit account” shall mean the Collateral Account to the extent that it is determined to be a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC) and “securities account” shall mean the Collateral Account to the extent that it is determined to be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC).

 

Section 2.4          Securities Accounts.  If the Collateral Account is a securities account, the Financial Institution agrees that:

 

(a)          Financial Assets.  All property delivered to the Financial Institution pursuant to the Master Collateral Agreement that is granted to the Master Collateral Agent shall be promptly credited to the Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of the Master Collateral Agreement;

 

(b)          Registration and Indorsement.  All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to any securities account (other than cash) shall be registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Financial Institution, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any securities account be registered in the name of the Grantor or any other person, payable to the order of the Grantor or any other person, or specially indorsed to the Grantor or any other person, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank; and

 

(c)          Exercise of Rights.  The Collateral Account is an account to which financial assets or other property are or may be credited, and the Financial Institution shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Grantor as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset or other property credited to such account.

 

Section 2.5          “Financial Assets” Election.  The Financial Institution hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Collateral Account to the extent that it constitutes a securities account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

 

 

Section 3.1          Control of the Collateral Account.

 

(a)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any order from the Secured Party directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Collateral Account or any instruction originated by the Secured Party directing the disposition of funds in the Collateral Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such entitlement order or instruction without further consent by the Grantor or any other person.  If the Grantor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders or instructions and such entitlement orders or instructions conflict with any entitlement order or instruction issued by the Secured Party, the Financial Institution shall follow the entitlement orders or instructions issued by the Secured Party and shall incur no liability therewith.

 

(b)          Until the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 6.8(a) from the Secured Party, the Financial Institution is authorized to act upon instructions, including entitlement orders, from either the Secured Party or the Grantor.  The Secured Party may exercise sole and exclusive control of the Collateral Account at any time by delivering to the Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control as set forth in Section 6.8(a).

 

Section 3.2          Investment Instructions.  If (a) the Financial Institution has not received an order or instruction from the Grantor directing the deposit, withdrawal, transfer or redemption of the cash or other financial assets credited to the Collateral Account (a “Secured Party Order”) for the investment of funds in the Collateral Account by 11:00 a.m. New York time (or another time agreed to by the Financial Institution) on the Business Day before a Payment Date or (b) the Financial Institution receives notice from the Secured Party that a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Financial Institution will invest and reinvest funds in the Collateral Account according to the last investment instruction received, if any.  If no prior investment instructions have been received or if the instructed investments are no longer available or permitted, the Financial Institution will notify the Servicer and request new investment instructions, and the funds will remain uninvested until new investment instructions are received.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Financial Institution shall have no investment discretion.

 

Section 3.3          Conflicting Orders or Instructions.  If the Financial Institution receives conflicting orders or instructions from the Secured Party and the Grantor or any other Person, the Financial Institution will follow the orders or instructions of the Secured Party and not the Grantor or such other Person and shall incur no liability in connection therewith.

account; provided, however, that the Financial Institution shall not honor any instruction from such Person to purchase any investments other than Permitted Investments.

 

(d)          Statements and Confirmations.  The Financial Institution shall promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collateral Account or any financial assets or other property credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Grantor and the Secured Party at the address for each set forth in Section 7.3 of this Agreement.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Creditors, the applicable Creditor Representatives or the Master Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Creditor (acting through its Creditor Representative) consenting to any amendment shall be deemed to agree that such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on such Creditor and any Creditor Representative consenting to any amendment shall be deemed to agree that such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on such Creditor Representative or its Creditors.

 

(d)          Master Collateral Agent Consent.  The consent of the Master Collateral Agent will be required for any amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Sections 7.1(b) or (c) that has a material adverse effect on the rights, duties, obligations, immunities or indemnities of the Master Collateral Agent.

Section 7.8          Severability.  If a part of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then it will be deemed severable from the remaining Agreement and will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining Agreement.
