<br> Re: <u>Verizon Master Trust, Series 2025-5</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Verizon ABS II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Depositor</u>") and Verizon Master Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "<u>Trust</u>") in connection with the offering and sale of $400,950,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.40% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1a (the "<u>Class A-1a Notes</u>"), $133,650,000 aggregate principal amount of Compounded SOFR + 0.55% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1b (the "<u>Class A-1b Notes</u>) and $24,530,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.84% Asset Backed Notes, Class C (the "<u>Class C Notes</u>") issued by the Trust. The Trust will also issue $40,870,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.64% Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the "<u>Class B Notes</u>" and, together with the Class A-1a Notes, the Class A-1b Notes and the Class C Notes, the "<u>Notes</u>"). The Class A-1a Notes, the Class A-1b Notes and the Class C Notes will be offered and sold to the Underwriters (as defined below) by the Trust pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2025 (the "<u>Underwriting Agreement</u>"), by and among the Trust, Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters identified therein (collectively, the "<u>Underwriters</u>").

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Depositor has prepared a prospectus dated June 17, 2025 (together with any documents and other information incorporated therein by reference, each in the form prepared for use by the Underwriters in confirming sales of the Notes, are together called the "<u>Prospectus</u>"). The Trust was formed pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2021, between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the "<u>Owner Trustee</u>"), as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended, between the Depositor and the Owner Trustee.

The Depositor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form SF-3 (Registration Nos. 333-278415 and 333-278415-01), as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto, and as further amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto, for the registration of the Notes and certain other securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"). In this opinion letter, the foregoing registration statement, as so amended, at its effective date, including any documents and other information incorporated therein by reference, is called the "<u>Registration Statement</u>." As set forth in the Prospectus, the Notes will be

------

issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 24, 2025 (the "<u>Indenture</u>"), between the Trust and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Indenture Trustee</u>") and note paying agent.

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. No opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus other than as to the entitlement of the Notes to the benefits of the Indenture and their enforceability against the Trust in accordance with their terms.

As such counsel, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies of such corporate records, documents, agreements or other instruments of the Depositor as we consider appropriate. As to all matters of fact, we have entirely relied upon certificates of officers of the Depositor and of public officials, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of those certificates. In connection with this opinion, we have also examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, and the legal competence of each individual executing any document.

Each opinion set forth below relating to the binding effect of the Notes is subject to the following general qualifications:

(i) the enforceability of any obligation of the Trust or otherwise may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, marshalling or other laws and rules affecting the enforcement generally of creditors' rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors' or guarantors' rights); and

<br> (ii) the enforcement of any rights may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good faith and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

This opinion letter is limited solely to the internal, substantive laws of the State of New York as applied by courts located in New York without regard to choice of law.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Notes, when duly authorized by all requisite statutory trust action on the part of the Trust, executed by the Owner Trustee and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, when delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as described in the Underwriting Agreement, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will constitute the binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable against the Trust in accordance with their terms.

------

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to this firm under the heading "Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus. In rendering the foregoing opinions and giving such consent, we do not admit that we are "experts" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,<br>/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications, and limitations in this letter, it is our opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 *Del. C.* § 3801 *et seq.* (the "Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of such parties in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust has power and authority under the Trust Agreement and the Act to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Related Documents, to grant the Series 2025-5 Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) to the Indenture Trustee as security for the Notes and to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust's execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, the Related Documents and the Trust's issuance of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture have been duly authorized by the Trust, each of the Related Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Trust and each of the Notes has been duly executed and delivered by the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No consent, approval, or authorization of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or administrative agency of the State of Delaware is required to be obtained, made, or given by the Trust for the Trust's execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Notes and the Related Documents, other than the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under Section 3805(b) of the Act, no creditor of a Certificateholder in its capacity as the beneficial owner of the Trust shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Trust, except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to Section 3808(a) of the Act, the Trust may not be terminated or revoked by a Certificateholder or other person except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to Section 3808(b) of the Act, the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of a Certificateholder or any other beneficial owner of a Trust shall not result in the termination or dissolution of such Trust.

C.* §§ 9-101, *et seq.* ("Delaware Article 9"), is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), and assuming the due creation and attachment of the security interests in the collateral described in the Financing Statement and assuming that the Financing Statement on Form UCC-1 has been filed in the Office of the Secretary of State, the Indenture Trustee has a perfected security interest in the related collateral to the extent that such security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement in the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under Section 3801(i) of the Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Assuming that the Trust will not be characterized as an association taxable as a corporation (or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for United States federal income tax purposes, neither the Trust nor any of its assets will be subject to income taxation by the State of Delaware or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than filing fees payable to the Secretary of State).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Trust's execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, the Related Documents: (a) are not prohibited by the Trust Agreement or the Certificate of Trust; and (b) do not violate the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have assumed that: (i) all signatures on all documents reviewed by us are genuine; (ii) all documents furnished to us as originals are authentic; (iii) all documents furnished to us as copies or specimens conform to the originals thereof; (iv) all documents furnished to us in final draft or final or execution form have not been and will not be terminated, rescinded, altered, or amended, are in full force and effect, and conform to the final, executed originals of such documents; and (v) each document reviewed by us constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have assumed that the Trust Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the creation, operation, and termination of the Trust. We have also assumed that the Trust derives no income from or connected with sources within the State of Delaware and has no assets, activities (other than having a Delaware trustee as required by the Act and filing documents with the Secretary of State) or employees in the State of Delaware, and that no beneficial owner of the Trust is subject to taxation in the State of Delaware. We have further assumed that the Indenture, the Notes, the Underwriting Agreement and the Series 2025-5 Account Control Agreement constitute "Series Related Documents" as such term is defined in the Master Collateral Agreement.

<br> Re: <u>Verizon Master Trust, Series 2025-5</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Verizon ABS II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Depositor</u>") and Verizon Master Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "<u>Trust</u>") in connection with the offering and sale of $400,950,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.40% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1a (the "<u>Class A-1a Notes</u>"), $133,650,000 aggregate principal amount of Compounded SOFR + 0.55% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1b (the "<u>Class A-1b Notes</u>", and together with the Class A-1a Notes, the "<u>Class A Notes</u>") and $24,530,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.84% Asset Backed Notes, Class C (the "<u>Class C Notes</u>" and together with the Class A Notes, the "<u>Underwritten Notes</u>") issued by the Trust. The Trust will also issue $40,870,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.64% Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the "<u>Class B Notes</u>" and together with the Underwritten Notes, the "<u>Notes</u>"). The Underwritten Notes will be offered and sold to the Underwriters (as defined below) by the Trust pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2025 (the "<u>Underwriting Agreement</u>"), by and among the Trust, Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and each of RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters identified therein (collectively, the "<u>Underwriters</u>").

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Depositor has prepared a prospectus dated June 17, 2025 (together with any documents and other information incorporated therein by reference, each in the form prepared for use by the Underwriters in confirming sales of the Notes, are together called the "<u>Prospectus</u>"). The Trust was formed pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2021, between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as owner trustee (the "<u>Owner Trustee</u>"), as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of May 25, 2021, as amended, between the Depositor and the Owner Trustee.

The Depositor has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form SF-3 (Registration Nos. 333-278415 and 333-278415-01), as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto, and as further amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto, for the registration of the Notes and certain other securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In this opinion letter, the foregoing registration statement, as so amended, at its effective date, including any documents and other information incorporated therein by reference, is called the "Registration Statement." As set forth in the Prospectus, the Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 24, 2025 (the "<u>Indenture</u>"), between the Trust and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the "<u>Indenture Trustee</u>") and note paying agent.

------

As such counsel, we have relied upon originals or copies of such corporate records, documents, agreements or other instruments of the Depositor as we consider appropriate. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have relied, to the extent we deemed appropriate, upon representations, statements and certificates of officers and representatives of the Depositor and others, and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of those representations, statements and certificates. In connection with this opinion, we have also examined and relied upon the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Indenture. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, and the legal competence of each individual executing any document.

Attorneys involved in the preparation of this opinion letter are admitted to practice law in the State of New York and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the federal tax laws of the United States of America.

Based on the foregoing and consideration of such other matters as we have deemed appropriate, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof, the statements in the Prospectus under the headings "Summary—Tax Status" and "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences," insofar as they purport to describe certain provisions of United States federal income tax law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are correct in all material respects.

Our opinion above is based upon our interpretations of current law, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, judicial decisions, administrative rulings and existing final and temporary Treasury regulations, which are subject to change both prospectively and retroactively, and upon the facts and assumptions discussed herein. This opinion letter is limited to the matters set forth herein, and no opinions are intended to be implied or may be inferred beyond those expressly stated herein. In addition, our opinion is based on the assumption that the matter, if litigated, will be properly presented to the applicable court. Furthermore, our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position.

------

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to this firm in the Prospectus under the headings "Summary—Tax Status," "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "Legal Opinions." In rendering the foregoing opinions and giving such consent, we do not admit that we are "experts" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,<br>/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
