The Depositor, on the one hand, and the Master Trust, on the other hand, represents and warrants to the other that the amount distributed by the Depositor to the Master Trust on the Closing Date, together with the portion of the Class A Certificate allocated to the Master Trust, is equal to the fair market value of the Initial Receivables and the other related Master Trust Transferred Property transferred by the Master Trust to the Depositor on the Closing Date.

(q) as of the related Cutoff Date, neither the Servicer’s receivables systems nor the Receivable File indicates that the Receivable was satisfied or rescinded.
Section 3.4. Servicer Acquisition of Receivables for Breach of Representations.
(a) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Person of the Servicer receives written notice from the Depositor, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee that the Eligibility Representation was breached when made, then, in each case, the Servicer (or if Cellco is no longer
8
the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the Issuer. The Servicer (or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) 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 Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including in its capacity as Successor Servicer), 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 acquired under this Section 3.4. In addition, with respect to 60-Day Delinquent Receivables subject to an Asset Representations Review, the Servicer will have the sole ability to determine if there was non-compliance with the Eligibility Representation made by it with respect to those 60-Day Delinquent Receivables that constitutes a breach, and whether to reacquire or acquire, as applicable, those Receivables from the Issuer.
(b) Acquisition of Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. If the Servicer chooses to cure a breach of the Eligibility Representation that has a material adverse effect on the Issuer, such breach must be cured by the Servicer by the end of the second month following the month the Responsible Person of the Servicer received written notice of the breach as set forth above. If such breach (i) is not cured and (ii) had a material adverse effect on the Issuer, then the Servicer must acquire any such Receivable transferred by the Master Trust to the Depositor for which the Eligibility Representation was breached. The Servicer will acquire the Receivables transferred by the Master Trust to the Depositor as described in the immediately preceding sentence by remitting the Acquisition Amount for the related Receivables on or before the Business Day before the Payment Date following the end of the second month referenced in the first sentence hereof (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on such Payment Date).
(c) Transfer and Assignment of Acquired Receivable. When the Servicer’s payment of the Acquisition Amount for the applicable Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred and absolutely assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in such Receivables and all security and documents relating to such Receivables. The transfer and absolute assignment will not require any action by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Depositor or the Issuer, except that such Receivables are free of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens. After the transfer and absolute assignment, the Servicer will mark 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) Acquisition Sole Remedy. The sole remedy against the Servicer for a breach of an Eligibility Representation is to require the Servicer to acquire the related Receivables under this Section 3.4. The Depositor will enforce the Servicer’s acquisition 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.
9
(e) Removal or Resignation of Cellco as Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, immediately upon the resignation or removal of Cellco as Servicer pursuant to Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, Cellco, in its individual capacity, will be required to assume the obligation to acquire Receivables as set forth in this Section 3.4 without further action.
(f) Dispute Resolution. The Servicer and the Master Trust agree to be bound by the dispute resolution provisions in Section 11.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement as if they were part of this Agreement.
Section 3.5. Depositor’s Representations and Warranties. The Depositor represents and warrants to the Master Trust and the Servicer as of the Closing Date and each Acquisition Date:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Depositor is a validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently owned or conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party.

(e) All Consents.

(f) Binding Obligation. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party constitutes, when duly executed and delivered by each other party hereto and thereto, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(g) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party by the Depositor, and the performance by it of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Depositor, (i) do not contravene (A) its limited liability company agreement, (B) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property or (C) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, except, in each case of (A), (B) or (C), where such contravention would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) do not result in or require the creation of any Adverse Claim upon or with respect to any of its properties.
(h) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, the performance by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Depositor will not violate any Law applicable to the Depositor, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3. Expenses. The Master Trust will pay all expenses to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Depositor’s reasonable expenses to perfect the Depositor’s interest in the Master Trust Transferred Property transferred by the Master Trust to the Depositor and to enforce the Master Trust’s obligations under this Agreement.
Section 4.4. Master Trust Records. The Master Trust will mark its records to indicate that any Receivable absolutely assigned by it to the Depositor is owned by the Depositor or its assignee on the related Acquisition Date and will not change the indication until the Receivable has been paid in full by the Obligor, acquired by the Servicer or the Marketing Agent or sold to a third party, as applicable, under a Transaction Document.

Section 4.7. Acquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables.
(a) Acquisition of Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables; Payment of Acquisition Amount. If a Receivable becomes a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable, the Servicer (or if Cellco is no longer the Servicer, then Cellco in its individual capacity) must acquire any such Receivable from the Issuer, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.7(a). The Servicer will acquire any Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables by remitting the Acquisition Amount for the related Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables on or prior to the second Business Day before the Payment Date related to the Collection Period during which the Receivable became a Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivable. The aggregate Principal Balance of all Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables acquired by the Servicer, in the aggregate, will not exceed five percent (5%) of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Receivables (calculated as of the Initial Cutoff Date) transferred by the Master Trust to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Issuer on the Closing Date, and the Servicer shall not be required to acquire any Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables in excess of such limit.
(b) Transfer and Assignment of Acquired Receivables. When a Servicer’s payment of the Acquisition Amount for the Master Trust’s Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables becomes included in Available Funds for a Payment Date, the Issuer will be deemed to have transferred and absolutely assigned to the Servicer, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables and all security and documents relating to such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables. The transfer and absolute assignment will not require any action by the Depositor, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Depositor or the Issuer, except that such Bankruptcy Surrendered Receivables are free of any Liens, other than Permitted Liens. After the transfer and absolute assignment, the Servicer will mark 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.
