Section 2.2   Execution, Authentication and Delivery.
 
(a) Execution.  The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will execute the Notes for the Trust.  The signature of the Responsible Person on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.  Notes having the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was a Responsible Person of the Trust will bind the Trust, even if the individual has ceased to be a Responsible Person before the authentication and delivery of the Notes or was not a Responsible Person on the issuance date of the Notes.
 
(b) Authentication and Delivery.  The Indenture Trustee will, on Trust Order, authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in the Classes, Note Interest Rates and initial Note Balances as stated below.

(d) Certificate of Authentication.  No Note will have the benefit of this Indenture or be valid unless it has a certificate of authentication substantially in the form included in Exhibit A manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Indenture Trustee.  The certificate of authentication on a Note will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.  Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication.
 
Section 2.3   Tax Treatment.  The Trust intends that Notes be treated as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income.  The Trust, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income, and the Trust as a mere security device formed to hold the Receivables and issue, among other instruments, Notes and Certificates.

(b) Exchange of Notes.  A Noteholder may exchange Notes for other Notes of the same Class by surrendering the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trust maintained under Section 3.2.  If the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the
 
13

Trust will execute, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and the Noteholder will receive from the Indenture Trustee new Notes of the same Class, in the same aggregate principal amount.
 
(c) Valid Obligation.  Notes issued on the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid obligations of the Trust, evidencing the same debt, and have the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
 
(d) Surrendered Notes.  Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Noteholder of the Note or the Noteholder’s authorized attorney, with the signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar including membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or another “signature guarantee program”, according to the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied by other documents the Note Registrar may require.
 
(e) No Service Charge.  None of the Trust, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will impose a service charge on a Noteholder for the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.  The Trust, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee may require the Noteholder to pay an amount to cover taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed for the registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes.
 
(f) Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
 
(i) The Note Register will register transfers and exchanges of Notes in the Note Register.  However, neither the Trust nor the Note Registrar will be required to register transfers or exchanges of Notes for which the next Payment Date is not more than fifteen (15) days after the requested date of transfer or exchange or which have been called for redemption.
 
(ii) Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Clearing Agency participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Book-Entry Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
 
(g) ERISA Representations.  Each Note Owner that is subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law and any fiduciary acting on behalf of the Note Owner, by accepting an interest or participation in a Note, is deemed to represent that its purchase, holding and disposition of that interest or participation does not and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code due to the applicability of a statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules (or, if the Note Owner is subject to Similar Law, the purchase, holding and disposition does not and will not result in a non-exempt violation of that Similar Law).

Section 2.6   [Reserved].
 
Section 2.7   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
 
(a) Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of a Note, the Trust will execute and, on Trust Request, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of the same Class and principal amount in exchange for or in place of the Note if the following conditions are met: (i) the Indenture Trustee receives security or indemnity to hold the Trust and the Indenture Trustee harmless, (ii) none of the Trust, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee have received notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met.  However, if a destroyed, lost or stolen Note (but not a mutilated Note) is due and payable within fifteen (15) days or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Trust may pay the destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or on the Redemption Date without surrender of the Note.  If a protected purchaser of the original Note in place of which the replacement Note was issued (or the payment made) presents for payment the original Note, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee may recover the replacement Note (or the payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or a Person taking the replacement Note (or the payment) from the Person to whom the replacement Note (or the payment) was delivered or an assignee of that Person, except a protected purchaser, and may recover on the security or indemnity provided for the replacement Note (or the payment) for any fee, expense, loss, damage or liability incurred by the Trust or the Indenture Trustee for the replacement Note (or the payment).
 
(b) Taxes, Charges and Expenses.  On the issuance of a replacement Note under Section 2.7(a), (i) the Trust may require the Noteholder of the Note to pay an amount to cover any taxes or other governmental charges imposed and any other reasonable expenses incurred for the replacement Note, (ii) the Indenture Trustee will, for a mutilated Note, cancel the Note and (iii) the Note Registrar will record in the Note Register that the destroyed, lost or stolen Note no longer has the benefits of this Indenture.
 
(c) Additional Obligation.  Each replacement Note issued under Section 2.7(a) will be an original additional contractual obligation of the Trust and will have the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with other Notes of the same Class duly issued under this Indenture.
 
(d) Sole Remedy.  This Section 2.7 states the sole remedy available to Noteholders for the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
 
Section 2.8   Persons Deemed Owners.  On any date, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as of that date as the owner of the Note for all purposes, including receiving payments of principal of and interest on the Note, without regard to any notice or other information to the contrary.

Section 2.9   Payments on Notes.
 
(a) Interest Accrual.  Each Class of Notes will accrue interest on its Note Balance for each Interest Period until the Note Balance has been paid in full at a rate per annum equal to its Note Interest Rate for that Interest Period.  Interest on the Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  Interest on each Note for each Interest Period will be due and payable on the related Payment Date.
 
(b) Principal.  Prior to the beginning of the Amortization Period, principal payments will not be made on the Notes, other than in connection with an Optional Redemption.  If Priority Principal Payments are required to be made on any Payment Date prior to the beginning of the Amortization Period in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, such amounts will be deposited into the Principal Funding Account on such Payment Date in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, to the extent of Series 2022-4 Available Funds, in lieu of such amounts being applied to pay principal on the Notes on such Payment Date.  Amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding Account will be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII.  On each Payment Date during the Amortization Period, the principal of each Class of Notes will be payable in installments on each Payment Date in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII.  The Note Balance of each Class of Notes will be due and payable on the earlier of the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date.  In addition, the Note Balance of each Class of Notes will be due and payable on the date the Notes are declared to be, or have automatically become, immediately due and payable according to Section 5.2(a).
 
(c) Make-Whole Payments.  A Make-Whole Payment will be due in connection with the Optional Redemption of the Notes on any date on or after the Earliest Redemption Date but prior to the First Par Redemption Date, as described in Section 8.2, solely to the extent funds are available therefor.  Any Make-Whole Payments on a Class of Notes not previously paid will be due and payable on the earlier of the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date.  In addition, any Make-Whole Payments on a Class of Notes not previously paid will be due and payable on the date the Notes are declared to be, or have automatically become, immediately due and payable according to Section 5.2(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, no Make-Whole Payment will be payable in connection with an Optional Redemption of the Notes on or after the First Par Redemption Date.
 
(d) Additional Interest Amounts.  If the Notes have not been redeemed as of the Anticipated Redemption Date, beginning on such Payment Date, in addition to interest at the stated interest rate, each class of Notes will accrue additional interest at the Additional Interest Rate applicable to that class of Notes, which accrued Additional Interest Amounts will be distributed to Noteholders in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, to the extent of Series 2022-4 Available Funds.
 
(e) Monthly Payment of Interest, Principal and Other Amounts.  Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on each Class of Notes will be made pro rata to the Noteholders of that Class on each Payment Date.  For Book-Entry Notes, payments will be made by wire transfer to the account designated by the nominee of the Clearing Agency according to Section 2.12.  For Definitive Notes, payments will be made (i) if the Noteholder has given to the Note Registrar instructions at least five (5) Business Days before that Payment Date and the aggregate
 
16

original principal amount of the Noteholder’s Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer to the account of the Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register on the related Record Date.  Amounts paid by wire transfers or checks that are returned undelivered will be held according to Section 3.3.
 
(f) Payment of Final Installment.  The final installment of principal (whether payable by wire transfer or check) of each Note on a Payment Date, the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date will be payable only on presentation and surrender of the Note, subject to Section 2.7(a).  Upon receipt of written notice thereof from the Servicer (which may be in the form of the Monthly Investor Report), the Indenture Trustee will notify each Noteholder of the date the Trust expects to pay the final installment on any of the Notes, which notice will be delivered no later than five (5) days before that date (solely to the extent the Indenture Trustee has received notice prior to such date), and the place where the Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment.
 
Section 2.10   Cancellation of Notes.  Any Person that receives a Note surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption will deliver the Note to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel it.  The Trust may surrender to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation Notes previously authenticated and delivered under this Indenture which the Trust may have acquired, and the Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel them.  No Notes will be authenticated in place of or in exchange for Notes cancelled as stated in this Section 2.10.  The Indenture Trustee may hold or dispose of cancelled Notes according to its standard retention or disposal policy unless the Trust directs, by Trust Order, that they be destroyed or returned to it.

(e) Representation of Noteholders.  If this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based on instructions or directions of the Noteholders of a stated percentage of the Note Balance of the Notes (or the Controlling Class), the Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent those Noteholders only if it has received instructions to that effect from Note Owners and/or the Clearing Agency’s participants owning or representing, the required percentage of the beneficial interest of the Notes (or the Controlling Class) and has delivered the instructions to the Indenture Trustee.
 
(f) Conflicts.  If this Section 2.12 conflicts with other terms of this Indenture, this Section 2.12 will control.
 
(g) CUSIP Numbers.  The Trust in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Indenture Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Trust will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
 
Section 2.13   Definitive Notes.  No Note Owner will receive a definitive, fully registered Note (a “Definitive Note”) representing the Note Owner’s interest in the Note unless and until (a) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depository for the Book-Entry Notes and the Administrator is unable to reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a qualified successor, (b) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to Group 1 or a Servicer Termination Event, Note Owners of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class notify the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency that they elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency.  In these cases, the Clearing Agency will notify Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the availability of Definitive Notes.  After the Clearing Agency has surrendered the printed Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and delivered the registration instructions to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust will execute and the Indenture Trustee, on Trust Request, will authenticate the Definitive Notes according to the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  None of the Trust, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will be liable for delay in delivery of the instructions and may conclusively rely, and will be protected in relying, on the instructions.  On the issuance of Definitive Notes to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will recognize the holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

(d) Unclaimed Money.  Subject to applicable law, money held by the Indenture Trustee or a Note Paying Agent in trust under this Section 3.3 which remains unclaimed for two (2) years after it became due and payable will be discharged from the trust and paid to the Trust on Trust Request.  After discharge and payment, the Noteholder of the Note will, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Trust for payment of the amount due and unclaimed, and the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent will be released from liability for such amounts.  However, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent, before making the payment, will publish once, at the expense and direction of the Trust, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day in the English language and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date stated in the notice, which must be at least thirty (30) days from the date of publication, any unclaimed balance of the money then remaining will be paid to the Trust.  The Indenture Trustee will also use other reasonable means to notify Noteholders of unclaimed payments.

Each holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the FATCA Information. In addition, each holder of a Note will be deemed to understand that the Note Paying Agent has the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

(ii) the Trust has deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to (A) pay the due and unpaid principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due under this Indenture or on the Notes if the Event of Default with respect to Group 1 giving rise to the acceleration had not occurred, (B) pay all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 and (C) pay all other outstanding fees and expenses of the Trust in respect of Series 2022-4; and

of the majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, pursuant to and subject to the terms of Section 5.14.
 
Section 5.3   Collection of Indebtedness by Indenture Trustee.

(i) file a proof of claim for the due and unpaid principal of and interest on the Notes and file other proofs of claim (including any claims for compensation or indemnification under Section 6.7) or documents necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Series 2022-4 Secured Parties allowed in the Proceedings or in other judicial proceedings involving the Trust, its creditors and its property;
 
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable Law, vote on behalf of the Series 2022-4 Secured Parties in the election of a trustee, a standby trustee or a Person performing similar functions in the Proceedings; and
 
(iii) collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on the claims and pay all amounts received on the claims of the Series 2022-4 Secured Parties, including the claims asserted by the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.
 
(b) Authorization by Noteholders.  Each Noteholder authorizes a trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar official in a Proceeding to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, if the Indenture Trustee consents to make payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee the amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.
 
29

(c) No Right to Consent or Vote.  Except as permitted under Section 5.4(a)(ii), this Indenture (i) does not authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of a Noteholder a plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes and (ii) does not limit the rights of a Noteholder to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote on the claim of a Noteholder in the Proceeding.

(b) Proceeding.  In any Proceeding brought by the Indenture Trustee (and any Proceeding involving the interpretation of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee is a party), the Indenture Trustee will be held to represent all the Series 2022-4 Secured Parties, and it will not be necessary to make any Series 2022-4 Secured Party, including a Noteholder, a party to the Proceeding.

Section 8.3   Series 2022-4 Accounts.
 
(a) Investment of Funds in Series 2022-4 Accounts.  If (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default with respect to Group 1 has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Cellco is the Servicer, the Servicer may instruct the Indenture Trustee to invest any funds in the Series 2022-4 Accounts in Permitted Investments and, if investment instructions are received, the Indenture Trustee will direct the Qualified Institution maintaining the Series 2022-4 Accounts to invest the funds in the Distribution Account, the Reserve Account or the Principal Funding Account, as applicable, in those Permitted Investments.  If (i) the Servicer fails to give investment instructions for any funds in the Distribution Account, the Reserve Account or the Principal Funding 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 Potential Default with respect to Group 1 or Event of Default with respect to Group 1 has occurred and is continuing, the Qualified Institution will invest and reinvest funds in such Series 2022-4 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 Distribution Account, the Reserve Account and the Principal Funding Account will remain uninvested.  For so long as Cellco is the Servicer, any Permitted Investments of funds in the Series 2022-4 Accounts (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.  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 of the Series 2022-4 Collateral under Section 5.6.
 
(b) Limited Liability for Permitted Investments.  Subject to Section 6.1(c), neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Paying Agent will be liable for any insufficiency in Series 2022-4 Accounts resulting from a loss on a Permitted Investment, except for losses attributable to U.S. Bank National Association’s failure to make payments on the Permitted Investments issued by U.S. Bank National Association, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee.
 
(c) Notice to Qualified Institution.  A Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee will notify the Qualified Institution maintaining the Series 2022-4 Accounts (if not the Indenture Trustee) if an Event of Default with respect to Group 1 has occurred and is continuing.
 
53

(d) Control of Series 2022-4 Accounts.  Each of the Series 2022-4 Accounts will be under the control of the Indenture Trustee so long as the Series 2022-4 Accounts remain subject to the Lien of the Indenture, except that the Servicer and the Master Collateral Agent may make deposits into the Series 2022-4 Accounts and the Servicer may direct the Note Paying Agent to make deposits into or withdrawals from the Series 2022-4 Accounts according to this Indenture and the Transaction Documents.  Following the payment in full of the Notes and the release of the Series 2022-4 Accounts from the Lien of the Indenture, the Series 2022-4 Accounts will be under the control of the Trust.

(g) Reserve Account.
 
(i) Initial Reserve Account Deposit.  On the Closing Date, the Trust 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.
 
(ii) 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 Distribution 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.
 
(iii) Excess Amounts.  On any Payment Date, to the extent the sum of the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account plus the amount available under any Letter of Credit exceeds the Required Reserve Amount on any Payment Date, the amount of such excess may be released from the Reserve Account and paid to the Class R Interest on such Payment Date.
 
Section 8.4   Release of Series 2022-4 Collateral.
 
(a) Release of Property.  The Indenture Trustee may, and when required by this Indenture will, release Series 2022-4 Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture, in each case, according to this Indenture.  Except under Sections 8.4(c) and 10.1 for which the Series 2022-4 Collateral will automatically be released, the Indenture Trustee will release Series 2022-4 Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture only on receipt of a Trust Request and an Officer’s

Failure to give notice of redemption to a Noteholder, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

64

required under the Securities Act).  The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Trust (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Trust) in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB.  In connection with this transaction, the Indenture Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Trust (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Trust) to deliver to the Trust (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Trust), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Trust (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Trust) to permit the Trust to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Indenture Trustee reasonably believed by the Trust (or the Administrator, acting in good faith on behalf of the Trust) to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.  The Trust (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Trust) shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the reasonable judgment or the Trust to comply with Regulation AB.
 
Section 12.13   Electronic Signatures.  Each party agrees that this Indenture and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed, and that any electronic signatures appearing on this Indenture or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility; provided that any documentation with respect to transfer of the Notes or other securities presented to the Note Registrar, Indenture Trustee or any transfer agent after the Closing Date must contain original documents with manual, wet ink signatures to the extent required by the Note Registrar, Indenture Trustee or transfer agent.  The Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent and the Note Registrar shall be fully justified, indemnified and protected in relying and acting upon any electronic signature believed by the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent or the Note Registrar, as applicable, to have been signed by the Trust, the Administrator, the Servicer or an other such Person as is required to deliver such document, as applicable, and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to verify such electronic signature independently.

Section 12.14   Class R Interest.
 
(a) Creation of Class R Interest.  At the direction of the Trust, the Class R Interest is being created hereunder as an interest in Series 2022-4 having the rights set forth in this Indenture and the Trust Agreement.  The Class R Interest is being acquired on the date hereof by the True-up Trust, as the initial Class R Interest Holder, as nominee of the Originators.
 
(b) Holder of Class R Interest.  Under the Trust Agreement, the Trust has appointed the Owner Trustee to be the Trust Registrar for the Class R Interest.  The Class R Interest Holder will be the Person registered as the holder of the Class R Interest on the Trust Register.  The Class R Interest Holder will receive any Series 2022-4 Available Funds not needed on a Payment Date to pay the Notes and the Trust’s other obligations as set forth in Section 8.2 of this Indenture.
 
65

(c) Legal Title and Distributions.  The Class R Interest Holder has no legal title to any Trust Property.  The Class R Interest Holder will receive distributions only as set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 8.3(g)(iii) of this Indenture.
 
(d) Transfer of Class R Interest.  The Class R Interest Holder will be permitted to sell, transfer, assign or convey its rights in the Class R Interest upon satisfaction of the requirements applicable to transfers of the Certificates set forth in Section 3.3 of the Trust Agreement mutatis mutandis, subject to the requirements of Section 11.7 of this Indenture. The Class R Interest Holder, if it wishes to transfer the Class R Interest, shall notify the Trust Registrar in writing of such transfer and identify the new Class R Interest Holder. Upon receipt of notice in writing of any transfer of the Class R Interest identifying the new Class R Interest Holder, the Owner Trustee, as Trust Registrar for the Class R Interest, will record such transferee as the Class R Interest Holder on the Trust Register. Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture to the contrary, no Person shall have any rights hereunder with respect to the Class R Interest unless such Person is identified as being the Class R Interest Holder on the Trust Register.
 
Section 12.15   No Set-off.  Each of the Master Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not setoff, appropriate or apply any amounts held by it in any Trust Account or Series 2022-4 Account under any Transaction Document or Series Related Document against any amounts owed by the Trust to U.S. Bank National Association as a Lender or Noteholder under any Trust Financing, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the (i) Transaction Documents and (ii) Series Related Documents for the Series against which such amounts may be set-off, appropriated or otherwise applied. The foregoing shall in no way limit any other rights or remedies of the Master Collateral Agent or Indenture Trustee under or in connection with the Transaction Document or Series Related Documents.

VERIZON MASTER TRUST, SERIES 2022-4

CLASS [A][B][C] [___]% ASSET BACKED NOTES
 
Verizon Master Trust, a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Trust”), for value received, promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of [____________] DOLLARS payable as set forth in Section 8.2 of the Indenture, dated as of May 25, 2022 (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) on the 20th day of each month, or, if that day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, starting in June 2022 (each, a “Payment Date”) in an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable to Noteholders of Class [A][B][C] Notes on that Payment Date from the amounts payable as principal on the Class [A][B][C] Notes under Section 3.1 of the Indenture.  However, the entire unpaid Note Balance of this Note will be due and payable on the earlier of (a) the [______] Payment Date (the “Final Maturity Date”), or (b) the Redemption Date under Section 10.1 of the Indenture.  The entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes will be due and payable on the date on which the Notes are declared to be, or have automatically become, immediately due and payable under Section 5.2(a) of the Indenture.  Principal payments on the Class [A][B][C] Notes will be made pro rata to the Noteholders entitled to those principal payments.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note are defined in Article I of the Indenture, which also contains usage rules that apply to this Note, including by reference to other documents.
 
The Trust will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available for payment, on the Note Balance of this Note outstanding on the Payment Date immediately preceding such Payment Date (in each case, after giving effect to payments of principal made on the Payment Date immediately preceding such Payment Date), subject to limitations in Section 3.1 of the Indenture.  Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from and including the 20th day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date to but excluding the 20th day of the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs (or, for the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding June 20, 2022).  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.
 
The principal of and interest, any Additional Interest Amounts and any Make-Whole Payments on this Note are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments made by the Trust on this Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on this Note as stated above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.
 
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class [A][B][C] [_]% Asset Backed Notes (the “Class [A][B][C] Notes”) of the Trust.  Also authorized under the Indenture are the Class [A][B][C] Notes.  The Indenture and indentures supplemental to the Indenture state the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.  The Notes are subject to the Indenture.
 
A-2

The Class [A][B][C] Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor under the Master Collateral Agreement and the Indenture.  Interest on and principal of the Notes will be payable according to the priority of payments stated in Section 8.2 of the Indenture.  [Class B only:][The Class B Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes.] [Class C only:][The Class C Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes.]
 
Payments of interest on this Note on each Payment Date, together with each installment of principal if not in full payment of this Note, any Additional Interest Amounts and any Make-Whole Payments will be made to the Noteholder of this Note either by wire transfer, to the account of the Noteholder at a bank or other entity having proper facilities for the wire transfer, if the Noteholder has given to the Note Registrar proper written instructions at least five (5) Business Days before that Payment Date and the Noteholder’s Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000, or, if not, by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register on each Record Date.  However, unless Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners, payment will be made by wire transfer to the account designated by Cede & Co., as nominee of the Clearing Agency or a successor nominee.  The payments will be made without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment.  Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note effected by payments made on a Payment Date will bind future Noteholders of this Note and of a Note issued on the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in place of this Note, whether or not noted on this Note.  If money is expected to be available for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid Note Balance of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Trust, will notify the Noteholder of this Note as of the Record Date immediately preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by fax before that Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable will be payable only on presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for those purposes located in The City of New York.
 
The Trust will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class [A][B][C] Note Interest Rate if lawful.
 
The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture.
 
The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer stated on the face of this Note and to the other limitations in the Indenture.  Subject to the satisfaction of those restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register on surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Trust under the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder of this Note or its attorney-in-fact, with the signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and then one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for the registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay an amount to cover
 
A-3

any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed under any registration of transfer or exchange.
 
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or, for a Note Owner, an interest or participation in a Note, agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, for the obligations of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or a certificate or other writing delivered for the Notes and the Indenture, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Trust, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, each in its individual capacity.
 
The obligations of the Trust under the Indenture are solely the obligations of the Trust and do not represent an obligation or interest in any assets of the Depositor other than the Depositor Transferred Property conveyed to the Trust under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.  Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or an interest or participation in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.  If the Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim to or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, under insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then the Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of those Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or secured by those Other Assets (whether or not any entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on the other obligations and liabilities.  THIS PARAGRAPH IS A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
 
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or, for a Note Owner, an interest or participation in a Note, agrees that, before the date that is two (2) years and one (1) day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after the payment in full of (a) all securities issued by the Depositor or by a trust for which the Depositor was a depositor and (b) the Notes, it will not start or pursue against (i) the Depositor or (ii) the Trust, respectively, or join any other Person in starting or pursuing against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law.
 
The Trust has entered into the Indenture, and this Note is issued with the intention that, for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in party by income, Notes will qualify as indebtedness and the Trust as a mere security device formed to hold the Group 1 Receivables and issues, among other instruments, Notes and Certificates.  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a
 
A-4

Note or an interest or participation in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income and the Trust as a mere security device formed to hold the Group 1 Receivables and issue, among other instruments, Notes and Certificates.
 
For any date, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Trust or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as of that date as the owner of this Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and any interest on the Note and for all other purposes, without regard to any notice or other information to the contrary.
 
The Indenture permits, with some exceptions requiring the consent of all adversely affected Noteholders under the Indenture, the amendment of the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Trust with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive some terms and conditions in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders if some conditions are satisfied.  In addition, the Indenture contains terms permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing stated percentages of the Note Balance of the Notes or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Trust with some terms of the Indenture and some defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and bind the Noteholder and all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued on the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in place of this Note whether or not notation of the consent or waiver is made on this Note.
 
The term “Trust,” as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Trust under the Indenture.
 
The Trust is permitted by the Indenture, under some circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.
 
The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as stated in the Indenture, subject to some limitations in the Indenture.
 
THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).
 
No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no terms of this Note or of the Indenture, will alter or impair the obligation of the Trust, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.
 
A-5

Except as permitted under the Series 2022-4 Series Related Documents and the Transaction Documents, none of U.S. Bank National Association, in its individual capacity, Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Trust, or their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications in the Indenture.  The Noteholder of this Note, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that, except as permitted in the Series 2022-4 Series Related Documents and the Transaction Documents, for an Event of Default with respect to Group 1 under the Master Collateral Agreement, the Noteholder has no claim against those Persons for any deficiency, loss or claim from this Note.  However, nothing in this Note will be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Trust for liabilities, obligations and undertakings in the Indenture or in this Note.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication on this Note has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note will not have the benefit of the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
