the Indenture. 
 The Issuer and the Owner Trustee have obligations under the Transaction Documents and intend that Cellco administer the
activities of the Issuer and perform certain obligations of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents. 
 The parties

 ARTICLE II

 ADMINISTRATION OF ISSUER 

Section 2.1.    Engagement of Administrator. The Issuer and the Owner Trustee engage the Administrator to
perform the obligations of the Issuer and the Owner Trustee under the Transaction Documents as described in this Agreement, and the Administrator accepts the engagement. 

Section 2.2.    Administrator’s Rights and Obligations. 

(a)    Rights and Obligations under Transaction Documents. The Administrator will perform the obligations of the
Issuer and the Owner Trustee (in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement) and take all action that the Issuer is required to take under the Transaction Documents, except for the Issuer’s obligations to make payments on the
Notes. In addition, the Administrator will perform the obligations of, and may exercise any rights given to, the Administrator in the Transaction Documents as if it were a party to the Transaction Documents in its capacity as Administrator,
including, but not limited to, selecting the Receivables to be acquired by the Depositor and the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. In addition, the Administrator will cause the Master Trust Administrator to comply with the requirements of
Section 9.7(a) of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement with respect to the 

  
 1 













 
release of Receivables from the lien of the Master Collateral Agency Agreement on or prior to any Acquisition Date on which the Master Trust transfers Receivables to the Depositor. 

(b)    Consulting and Monitoring. The Administrator will consult with the Owner Trustee about performing the
Issuer’s obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Administrator will monitor the Issuer’s performance and will advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to perform the Issuer’s obligations under the Transaction
Documents and to comply with the Transaction Documents. 
 (c)    Preparing and Executing Documents. The
Administrator will prepare, or cause to be prepared, all documents that the Issuer is required to prepare, file or deliver under the Transaction Documents, including all financing and continuation statements, and amendments to such statements,
required to be filed pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Indenture. The Administrator will cause the documents to be executed by the Issuer or may execute the documents as Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. Upon preparation or execution of the
documents by the Issuer or by the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, the Administrator will file or deliver the documents as required by the Transaction Documents. The Administrator will prepare, or cause to be prepared and, after execution by
the Issuer, file with the Commission any documents required to be prepared and filed on a periodic basis with the Commission pursuant to Section 7.2(a) of the Indenture. 

(d)    Notices to Rating Agencies. If Cellco is the Administrator, the Administrator will prepare and give all
notices to the Rating Agencies required to be given by the Issuer or the Administrator under the Transaction Documents, including notice of an Event of Default under Section 3.15 of the Indenture and a Servicer Termination Event under
Section 3.6(c) of the Indenture. If Cellco is no longer the Administrator, the Administrator will prepare any Rating Agency notices, provide them to the Sponsor and direct the Sponsor to give them to the Rating Agencies. 

(e)    Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Administrator shall, on behalf of the Issuer, pay fees, expenses and
indemnities of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Asset Representations Reviewer due and payable under the Transaction Documents if such amounts are not otherwise paid by the Issuer after all amounts distributable under
Section 8.2 of the Indenture have been so distributed; provided that the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, shall promptly reimburse the Administrator for any such amounts to the extent
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, subsequently receives payment or reimbursement in respect thereof from the Issuer in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Indenture. To the extent that
the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, pays any fees of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Asset Representations Reviewer on the Closing Date, the Administrator will be reimbursed for such amounts from Available Funds on the first
Payment Date, in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Indenture. 

  
 2 













 (f)    Temporarily Excluded Receivables. On any date of
determination where 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 as long as the Overcollateralization Target Amount is reached
as of the close of business on such date without taking into account the Temporarily Excluded Receivables, so that the remaining Receivables in the pool will satisfy all of the Pool Composition Tests. The Administrator will provide to the Servicer
any information about the Temporarily Excluded Receivables required by the Servicer to enable the Servicer to determine for such Collection Period the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables deemed Temporarily Excluded Receivables. For any
subsequent date after such Receivables have been deemed to be Temporarily Excluded Receivables, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, designate any Temporarily Excluded Receivables to no longer be 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. The Administrator also will provide to the Servicer any information about the Temporarily Excluded
Receivables required by the Servicer to enable the Servicer to state on the Monthly Investor Report for the Collection Period in which such redesignation occurs the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables no longer deemed Temporarily Excluded
Receivables. 
 Section 2.3.    Limits on Administrator’s Rights and Obligations. 

(a)    Non-Ministerial Matters. The Administrator will not take any action
relating to a matter that, in its reasonable judgment, is a non-ministerial matter unless, at least thirty (30) days before taking the action, the Administrator has notified the Issuer of the proposed
action and the Issuer has not directed the Administrator not to take the action and/or provided an alternative direction before the 30th day after receipt of the notice. For purposes of this Agreement,
“non-ministerial matters” includes: 

(i)     starting or pursuing any Proceeding by the Issuer and the settlement of any Proceeding brought
by or against the Issuer; and 
 (ii)    appointing or engaging a successor Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture or consenting to the assignment by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the Indenture. 

(b)    Prohibited Actions. The Administrator will not be obligated to, and will not (i) make any payments to
the Noteholders under the Transaction Documents, (ii) sell the Collateral under Section 5.6 of the Indenture or (iii) take any other action that the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee directs the Administrator not to take on its
behalf or that would result in a breach by the Issuer under a Transaction Document. 
 (c)    Obligations to be
Performed by Owner Trustee. The Administrator will have no responsibility or obligation to perform the obligations of the Owner Trustee relating to reacquisition or acquisition demands under Section 5.12 of the Trust Agreement or relating
to Regulation AB disclosure under Section 6.7 of the Trust Agreement. 

  
 3 













 Section 2.4.    Power of Attorney. The Issuer appoints the
Administrator as the Issuer’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to exercise all rights of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents. This power of
attorney, and all authority given, under this Section 2.4 is revocable and is given solely to facilitate the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and may only be used by the Administrator consistent with this
Agreement. On request of the Administrator, the Issuer will furnish the Administrator with written powers of attorney and other documents to enable the Administrator to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

Section 2.5.    Access to Issuer Records. The Issuer 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 Issuer will give the Administrator (or its representatives) access
to the records and documents to conduct a review of the Issuer. Any access or review will be conducted at the Issuer’s offices during its normal business hours at a time reasonably convenient to the Issuer and in a manner that will minimize
disruption to its business operations. Any access or review will be subject to the Issuer’s security, confidentiality and privacy policies and any legal, regulatory and data protection policies. 

Section 2.6.    Review of Administrator’s Records. The Administrator 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 Administrator will give the Issuer,
the Depositor, the Parent Support Provider, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (or their respective representatives) access to the records and documents to conduct a review of the Administrator’s performance under this Agreement. Any
access or review will be conducted by all parties at the same time at the Administrator’s offices during its normal business hours at a time reasonably convenient to the Administrator and in a manner that will minimize disruption to its
business operations. Any access or review will be subject to the Administrator’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 Administrator shall not be deemed to be an obligation of the Indenture Trustee to do so. 

Section 2.7.    Updating List of Responsible Persons. On or before the Closing Date, the Administrator will
notify the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor of each Person who is a Responsible Person for the Administrator. The Administrator may change such Persons at any time by notifying the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor. 
 Section 2.8.    Administrator’s Fees and
Expenses. The Servicer will pay the Administrator as compensation for performing its obligations under this Agreement a fee separately agreed to by the Servicer and the Administrator. The Administrator will be responsible for its costs and
expenses in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

hereof; (2) promptly prepare and send to 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) a notice (A) stating that
there will be a Noteholder vote pursuant to Section 14.2 of the Indenture on whether to initiate an Asset Representations Review of the 60-Day Delinquent Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer
pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, and (B) describing those procedures, including the means by which Noteholders and Note Owners may make their votes known to the Indenture Trustee and the related voting deadline that will

before the filing deadline for that Form 10-D, the summary will be included in the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed by the Administrator pursuant to
Section 2.2(c) hereof. The Form 10-D filed pursuant to this clause (iv) will also specify the means by which Noteholders and Verified Note Owners may notify the Indenture Trustee, the related
Originator and the Servicer in writing that it considers any non-compliance of the Eligibility Representation to be a breach of the applicable Receivables Transfer Agreement, or request in writing that a 60-Day Delinquent Receivable be reacquired or acquired, as applicable. 

(v)    In the event of any resignation, removal, replacement or substitution of the Asset Representations
Reviewer, or the appointment of a new Asset Representations Reviewer, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, the Administrator will report the occurrence of such event, together with a description of the circumstances

 6 













 
request: (i) the name of the Noteholder or Verified Note Owner making the request, (ii) the date the request was received; (iii) a statement that the Administrator has received the
request from that Noteholder or Verified Note Owner that it is interested in communicating with other Noteholders and Note Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the Transaction Documents; and (iv) a description of the
method other Noteholders and Note Owners may use to contact the requesting Noteholder or Verified Note Owner. The Administrator is not required to include any additional information regarding the Noteholder or Verified Note Owner and its request in
the Form 10-D, and is required to disclose a Noteholder’s or a Verified Note Owner’s request only where the communication relates to the exercise by a Noteholder or Verified Note Owner of its rights
under the Transaction Documents. The Administrator will be responsible for the expenses of administering the investor communications provisions set forth in this Section 2.9, which will be compensated by means of the fee payable to it by the
Servicer, as described in Section 2.8. 
 Section 2.10.    Additional Requirements of the
Administrator. 
 (a)    Reporting Requirements. 

(i)    If so requested by the Issuer for the purpose of satisfying its reporting obligation under the
Exchange Act with respect to the Notes, the Administrator shall (x) notify the Issuer in writing of any material litigation or governmental proceedings pending against the Administrator and (y) provide to the Issuer a description of such
proceedings. 
 (ii)    As a condition to the succession to the Administrator by any Person as permitted
by Article III hereof, the Administrator shall provide to the Issuer, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment, (x) written notice to the Issuer of such succession or appointment and
(y) in writing all information in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the Notes. 

(iii)    In addition to such information as the Administrator is obligated to provide pursuant to other
provisions of this Agreement, the Administrator shall provide to the Issuer and the Servicer such information regarding the performance or servicing of the Receivables as is reasonably required by the Servicer to facilitate preparation of
distribution reports in accordance with Item 1121 of Regulation AB. 
 (b)    Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness. The Issuer and the Administrator acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 2.10 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of
the Commission. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure 

  
 7 













 
comparable to that required under the Securities Act). The Administrator 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 requests made by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any other party
to the Transaction Documents in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection therewith, the Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Issuer to deliver to
the Issuer (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Issuer, to permit the Issuer to comply with the provisions
of Regulation AB. The Issuer (including any of its assignees or designees) shall cooperate with the Administrator by providing timely notice of requests for information under these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information
required, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, to comply with Regulation AB. 
 ARTICLE III 

ADMINISTRATOR 

Section 3.1.    Administrator’s Representations and Warranties. The Administrator
represents and warrants to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date: 

(a)    Organization and Good Standing. The Administrator is a validly existing partnership 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. 
 (b)    Due Qualification. The Administrator is duly qualified to do business,
is in good standing as a foreign entity (or is exempt from such requirements) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, licenses or approvals, except
where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c)    Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which it is a party, have been duly authorized by the Administrator by all necessary partnership action on the part of the Administrator. 

(d)    No Proceedings. There are no actions, suits, investigations or other proceedings pending, or to its
knowledge threatened, against the Administrator or any of its properties: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement; (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or
(iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might have a Material Adverse Effect on the performance by the Administrator of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement. 

  
 8 













 (e)    All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority, if any, required to be obtained, effected or given to it in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it
is a party and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Administrator, in each case, have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect, except for those
which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (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 Administrator, 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 Administrator, 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 Administrator,
(i) do not contravene (A) the organizational documents of the Administrator, (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, 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 Administrator, the
performance by the Administrator 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 Administrator will not violate any Law
applicable to the Administrator, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 3.2.    Liability of Administrator. 

(a)    Liability for Specific Obligations. The Administrator will be liable only for its specific obligations under
this Agreement. All other liability is expressly waived and released as a condition of, and consideration for, the execution of this Agreement by the Administrator. The Administrator will be liable only for its own willful misconduct, bad faith or
gross negligence in performing its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (b)    No Liability of Others. The
Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement are corporate obligations. No Person will have recourse, directly or indirectly, against any member, 

  
 9 













 
manager, officer, director, employee or agent of the Administrator for the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement. 

(c)    Legal Proceedings. The Administrator is not required to start, pursue or participate in any legal proceeding
that is not incidental or related to its obligations under this Agreement and that in its opinion may result in liability or cause it to pay or risk funds or incur financial liability. The Administrator may in its sole discretion start or pursue any
legal proceeding to protect the interests of the Noteholders or the Depositor under the Transaction Documents. The Administrator will be responsible for the fees and expenses of legal counsel and any liability resulting from the legal proceeding.

 (d)    Force Majeure. The Administrator will not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in
performing its obligations under this Agreement caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, acts of war, terrorism, civil or military disturbances, fire, flood, earthquakes, storms, hurricanes or
other natural disasters or failures of mechanical, electronic or communication systems; provided, however that this provision shall not limit the Owner Trustee’s right to remove the Administrator for its failure to perform under this Agreement,
as provided in Section 3.3(c). The Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable in the circumstances. 

(e)    Reliance by Administrator. The Administrator may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any
document believed to be genuine and to have been executed by the proper party for any matters under this Agreement. 

Section 3.3.    Resignation and Removal of Administrator. 

(a)    No Resignation. Except as stated in Section 3.3(b), the Administrator will not resign as Administrator
unless it determines it is legally unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrator will notify the Issuer and the Owner Trustee of its resignation, which notification shall include an Opinion of Counsel supporting its
determination. 
 (b)    Mandatory Resignation. On the appointment or engagement of a Successor Servicer under
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (other than the Indenture Trustee), the Administrator will immediately resign and the Successor Servicer will automatically become the successor Administrator. 

(c)    Removal. If any of the following events occurs and is continuing, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the
Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, may remove the Administrator and terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement by notifying the Administrator: 

(i)    the Administrator fails to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement,
which failure continues for ninety (90) days after the Administrator receives written notice of the failure from the Owner Trustee, the 

  
 10 













 
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for an additional period of ninety
(90) days if such delay or failure of performance was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, as further described in Section 3.2(d); or 

(ii)    an Insolvency Event of the Administrator occurs. 

(d)    Notice of Resignation or Removal. The Issuer will notify the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee of any resignation or removal of the Administrator. 
 (e)    Continue to Perform. No resignation or
removal of the Administrator will be effective, and the Administrator will continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement, until a successor Administrator has accepted its engagement according to Section 3.4(b). 

Section 3.4.    Successor Administrator. 

(a)    Engagement of Successor Administrator. Following the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Issuer,
at the direction of the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class (or if no Notes are Outstanding, at the direction of the Certificateholders), will engage a successor Administrator. No additional Noteholder direction is
required if the successor Administrator is the Successor Servicer. If the Issuer does not receive Noteholder direction within a reasonable period of time, the Issuer may engage a successor Administrator. 

(b)    Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the Administrator will be effective
until (i) the successor Administrator has executed and delivered to the Issuer an agreement accepting its engagement and agreeing to perform the obligations of the Administrator under this Agreement or a new administration agreement on
substantially the same terms as this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Issuer and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. 

(c)    Notice of Successor Administrator. The Issuer will notify the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee of the
engagement of a successor Administrator. 
 (d)    Transition to Successor Administrator. If the Administrator
resigns or is removed, the Administrator will cooperate with the Issuer and take all actions reasonably requested to assist the Issuer in making an orderly transition of the Administrator’s obligations to the successor Administrator. 

Section 3.5.    Merger, Consolidation, Succession or Assignment. Any Person (a) into which the
Administrator is merged or consolidated, (b) resulting from a merger or consolidation to which the Administrator is a party, (c) succeeding to the Administrator’s business or (d) that is an Affiliate of the Administrator to whom
the Administrator has assigned this Agreement, will be the successor to the Administrator under this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment, such Person will (i) execute an


  
 11 













 
agreement to assume the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Administrator is a party (unless the assumption happens by operation of
Law), (ii) deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment and the assumption agreement comply with this
Section 3.5 and (iii) notify the Rating Agencies of the merger, consolidation, succession or assignment. 

Section 3.6.    Delegation and Contracting. For as long as Cellco is the Administrator, the Administrator may
delegate to or contract with any Person to perform its obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Issuer. No delegation or contracting will relieve the Administrator of its responsibilities, and the Administrator will remain
responsible for those obligations. The Administrator will be responsible for the fees of its delegates and contractors.
