    ARTICLE II

      ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS

     

    Section 2.1          Description of Accounts.  Pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Grantor, the
        Servicer and the Financial Institution have established the following accounts, subject to the lien of the Secured Party (each, a “Collateral Account”), each of which Collateral Accounts shall be a Trust Financing Account:

     

    	

          	(i)	
             “Series 2021-1 Distribution Account – U.S. Bank National Association, as Note Paying Agent, as secured party for the benefit of the Secured Parties of Verizon Master Trust, Series 2021-1” with
              account number 216808000.

          

     

    
      
        

    

    
    	

          	(ii)

              account number 216808002.

          

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (c)          Exercise of Rights.  Each Collateral Account is an account to which financial assets or other
        property are or may be credited, and the Financial Institution shall, subject to the

     

    
      2

      
        

    

    terms of this Agreement, treat the Grantor as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset or other property credited to such account.

     

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

     

    ARTICLE III

      SECURED PARTY CONTROL

     

    Section 3.1          Control of Collateral Accounts.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    Section 3.3          Conflicting Orders or Instructions.  If the Financial Institution receives conflicting orders
        or instructions from the Secured Party and the Grantor or any other Person, the

     

    
      3

      
        

    

    Financial Institution will follow the orders or instructions of the Secured Party and not the Grantor or such other Person and shall incur no liability in connection therewith.

     

    ARTICLE IV

      SUBORDINATION OF LIEN; WAIVER OF SET-OFF

     

    Section 4.1          Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off.  In the event that the Financial Institution has or
        subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise a security interest in a Collateral Account or any “security entitlement” or other property credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest
        shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party.  The financial assets, money and other items credited to any Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person
        other than the Secured Party (except that the Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collateral Accounts and (ii)
        the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any such Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

     

    ARTICLE V

      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     

    Section 5.1          Financial Institution’s Representations and Warranties.  The Financial Institution represents
        and warrants to the Grantor and the Secured Party as follows:

     

    (a)          Organization.  The Financial Institution is duly organized, validly existing and qualified as a
        national banking association under the laws of the United States.

     

    (b)          Power and Authority.  The Financial Institution has the corporate power and authority to execute,
        deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.  The Financial Institution has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement.

     

    (c)          Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly executed by an authorized officer of the Financial
        Institution and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Financial Institution, 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 and, if applicable, the rights of creditors from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

     

    (d)          No Agreements with Grantor.  There are no agreements between the Financial Institution and the
        Grantor or the Servicer governing or relating to a Collateral Account other than this Agreement, the Master Collateral Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and other Series Related Documents.

     

    (e)          No Other Agreements.  The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of
        this Agreement will not enter into, an agreement relating to a Collateral Account in which it has agreed to comply with “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or “instructions” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of
        the UCC) of

     

    
      4

      
        

    

    any Person other than the Secured Party or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with entitlement orders or instructions.

     

    (f)          No Limitations.  The Financial Institution has not entered into an agreement limiting or conditioning
        the Financial Institution’s obligation to comply with any Secured Party Order.

     

    (g)          No Liens.  Except for the claims and interest of the Secured Party and of the Grantor in the
        Collateral Accounts, the Financial Institution has no actual knowledge of any Lien on or claim to, or interest in, any of the Collateral Accounts or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) or other property credited
        thereto.

    Section 6.2          Termination.

     

    (a)          The Financial Institution may terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the Secured Party
        resigns or is removed as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.  The Grantor may terminate the rights and obligations of the Financial Institution if the Financial Institution ceases to be a Qualified Institution.  No termination of the rights and
        obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement will be effective until new Collateral Accounts are established with, and the cash and other financial assets credited to the Collateral Accounts are transferred to, another securities
        intermediary who has agreed to accept the obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement or a similar agreement.

     

    (b)          The Secured Party agrees to provide a Notice of Termination in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto to
        the Financial Institution upon the request of the Grantor on or after the termination of the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.  The termination of this Agreement does not terminate
        any Collateral Account or alter the obligations of the Financial Institution to the Grantor pursuant to any other agreement with respect to any Collateral Account.

     

    Section 6.3          No Petition.  Each party agrees that, before the date that is two (2) years and one (1) day
        (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after payment in full of (a) all securities issued by the Depositor or by a trust for which the Depositor was a depositor or (b) all advances owed by Verizon Master Trust, it will not start or
        pursue against, or join any other Person in starting or pursuing against, (i) the Depositor or (ii) the Grantor, respectively, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any
        bankruptcy or similar Law.  This Section 6.3 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

     

    Section 6.4          Limitation of Liability.

     

    (a)          Financial Institution.  The Financial Institution will not be liable under this Agreement, except for
        (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) breach of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.  The Financial Institution will not be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or
        damages (including lost profit), even if the Financial Institution has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     

    (b)          Secured Party.  The Secured Party is executing this Agreement not in its individual capacity but
        solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee.  In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Secured Party is subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms of the Indenture that apply to the Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture
        Trustee will not have any liability for any act or failure to act of the Servicer, the Custodian, the Marketing Agent, any other Creditor Representative or Noteholder, the Administrator, the Grantor or any other Person.

     

    (c)          Owner Trustee.  This Agreement has been signed on behalf of the Grantor by Wilmington Trust, National
        Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Grantor.  In no event will Wilmington Trust, National Association in its individual capacity or a beneficial owner of the Grantor be liable for the
        Grantor’s obligations

     

    
      6

      
        

    

    under this Agreement.  For all purposes under this Agreement, the Owner Trustee is subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the Trust Agreement.

     

    Section 6.5          Conflict With Other Agreement.

     

    (a)          In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now
        existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

     

    (b)          No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any
        party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto.

     

    (c)          The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:

     

    (i)          there are no agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor
        with respect to the Collateral Accounts other than this Agreement and the Indenture; and

     

    (ii)          other than the Indenture, it has not entered into, and until the termination of this
        Agreement will not enter into, any other agreement with any other person relating to any Collateral Account or any financial assets or other property credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in
        Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other person.

     

    Section 6.6          [Reserved].

     

    Section 6.7          Adverse Claims.  If the Financial Institution receives written notice that any person is
        asserting any lien, encumbrance or Adverse Claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Collateral Account or any financial asset or other property credited thereto, the
        Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Grantor thereof.

     

    Section 6.8          Maintenance of Collateral Accounts.  In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation of the Financial Institution to honor entitlement orders and instructions as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, the Financial Institution, the Grantor and the
        Secured Party agree that the Collateral Accounts shall be maintained as follows:

     

    (a)          Notice of Sole Control.  If at any time the Secured Party delivers to the
        Financial Institution a Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (a “Notice of Sole Control”), the Financial Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will take all instructions with
        respect to the Collateral Accounts solely from the Secured Party and shall not comply with instructions or entitlement orders of any other person.

     

    (b)          Voting Rights.  Until such time as the Financial Institution receives a Notice of
        Sole Control signed by the Secured Party pursuant to subsection (a) of this

     

    
      7

      
        

    

    Section 6.8, the Grantor shall direct the Financial Institution with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to any Collateral Account.

     

    (c)          Eligible Account.  Until such time as the Financial Institution receives a Notice
        of Sole Control signed by the Secured Party, the Grantor shall direct, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, the Financial Institution with respect to the selection of investments to be made for the credit of a Collateral Account if it is a
        securities account, and after the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Sole Control signed by the Secured Party, the Secured Party shall direct, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, the Financial Institution with respect to the selection
        of investments to be made for the credit of a Collateral Account if it is a securities account; provided, however, that the Financial Institution
        shall not honor any instruction from such Person to purchase any investments other than Permitted Investments.

     

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

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
      Parent Support Provider agrees as follows:

     

    Section 1.          Undertaking.

     

    (a)          For value received by it and its Affiliates, the Parent Support Provider hereby
        absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assures and undertakes for the benefit of each of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual remittance by any Originator, the Servicer (for as long as the Servicer is Cellco or an Affiliate of Cellco) and
        the Marketing Agent (for as long as the Marketing Agent is Cellco or an Affiliate of Cellco) (referred to collectively as the “Covered Entities” and each, a “Covered Entity”), as applicable, of (i) the Reconveyance Amount by each
        Originator in respect of the Originator Reacquisition Obligation and the Originator Bankruptcy Reacquisition Obligation, (ii) the Reconveyance Amount by the Servicer (for as long as the

     

    
      3

      
        

    

    Servicer is Cellco or an Affiliate of Cellco), in respect of the Servicer Additional Transferor Acquisition Obligation, the Servicer Bankruptcy Acquisition Obligation, the Servicer
      Designation Date Acquisition Obligation and the Servicer Acquisition Obligation, (iii) the deposit of Collections by the Servicer (for as long as the Servicer is Cellco or an Affiliate of Cellco) in respect of the Servicer Deposit Obligation and (iv)
      the remittances or payments pursuant to Sections 4.3(g), 4.3(h) or 4.3(i) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, by the Marketing Agent (for as long as the Marketing Agent is Cellco or an Affiliate of Cellco), or the related
      Originators, in respect of the Marketing Agent Remittance Obligation (the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) irrespective of: (A) the validity, binding effect, subordination,
      disaffirmance, enforceability or amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, any other Series Related Documents, or any documents related hereto or thereto, (B) any
      change in the existence, ownership (to the extent that as a result of such change in ownership such Covered Entity continues to be a subsidiary or Affiliate of Verizon) or formation of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, any Covered Entity, (C) any
      extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, exchange, waiver or release in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation (or any collateral security therefor, including the property sold, purchased, contributed (or purportedly sold, purchased or contributed)
      or otherwise pledged or transferred under any of the Transaction Documents or any other Series Related Documents) by any party to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the other Series Related Documents or any related documents, (D) the
      existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim or other right that the Parent Support Provider or any other Person may have against any Covered Entity or any other Person, (E) any impossibility or impracticability of performance, illegality, force
      majeure, any act of any Governmental Authority or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to, or provide a discharge of, the Parent Support Provider, (F) any Law affecting any term of
      any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Transaction Document or other Series Related Document, or rights of any Beneficiary with respect thereto or otherwise, (G) the failure by any Beneficiary to take any steps to perfect and maintain perfected its
      interest in, or the impairment of, any Collateral or (H) any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or to notify or file with, any Governmental Authority that is required in connection with the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations
      or otherwise.

     

    (b)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent Support Provider agrees
        that if any Covered Entity shall fail in any manner whatsoever to remit any amounts in connection with any of its respective Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be remitted under any applicable Transaction Document to which it
        is a party, including after the expiration of all applicable grace periods, then the Parent Support Provider will itself duly and punctually remit or cause to be remitted to the Collection Account any such Guaranteed Obligations after receipt by
        the Parent Support Provider of written notice from the Master Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party that the applicable Covered Entity has failed to remit any required amounts under the applicable Transaction Documents.  It shall not be a
        condition to the accrual of the obligation of the Parent Support Provider hereunder to perform any Guaranteed Obligations that a Beneficiary or any other Person shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to the Parent
        Support Provider, any Covered Entity, or any other Person or have initiated any action or proceeding against the Parent Support Provider, any Covered Entity or any other Person in respect thereof, except for any such

     

    
      4

      
        

    

    request, demand or notice required to be given hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or other Series Related Documents.  The Parent Support Provider hereby expressly waives
      diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice (except as required hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or other Series Related Documents) of any kind whatsoever, as well as any requirement that the Beneficiaries (or any one of them)
      exhaust any right to take any action against any Covered Entity or any other Person (including the filing of any claims in the event of a receivership or bankruptcy of any of the foregoing), or with respect to any collateral or collateral security at
      any time securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby consents to any and all extensions of time of the due performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Parent Support Provider agrees that it shall not exercise or assert
      any right which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.  The Parent Support Provider also hereby expressly waives all other defenses it may have
      as a guarantor or a surety generally or otherwise based upon suretyship, impairment of collateral or otherwise in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations whether in equity or at law.  The Parent Support Provider agrees that its obligations
      hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional.

     

    (c)          Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, the Parent Support Provider shall
        under no circumstances be obligated to undertake or perform any obligations of any Covered Entity other than those payment obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement  and shall not be deemed by virtue of any of its agreements hereunder to
        have guaranteed the repayment of the Receivables or the timely payment of interest on, the ultimate repayment of the principal of, or any other amounts due with respect to, the Credit Extensions under the Master Collateral Agreement or any
        Transaction Documents or other Series Related Documents.  For the sake of clarity, and without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Guaranteed Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to
        the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Receivable by reason of nonpayment by an Obligor.

     

    Section 2.          Confirmation. 
        The Parent Support Provider hereby confirms that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the other Series Related Documents have been arranged among the Covered Entities, the Beneficiaries, the Master Collateral Agent and the
        Owner Trustee, as applicable, with the Parent Support Provider’s full knowledge and consent and any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance therewith, in accordance with the terms thereof by any of the
        foregoing shall be deemed to be with the Parent Support Provider’s full knowledge and consent.  The Parent Support Provider hereby confirms (i) that on the date hereof (a) the Servicer and the Marketing Agent are its wholly owned indirect
        subsidiaries and (b) each of the Originators is a controlled Affiliate and (ii) that it is in the best interest of the Parent Support Provider to execute this Agreement, inasmuch as the Parent Support Provider (individually) and the Parent Support
        Provider and its Affiliates (collectively) will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, each Additional Transferor Receivables Transfer Agreement, if any,
        the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and other Series Related Documents.  The Parent Support Provider agrees to notify the Beneficiaries in the event that (i) the Servicer or the Marketing Agent ceases to be a
        wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Parent Support Provider or (ii) any of the Originators ceases to be a controlled Affiliate of the Parent Support Provider.

        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 performance of this Agreement requires such qualification, licenses or approvals,

        authorized by all necessary corporate action the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

     

    (iv)          Binding Obligation.  This Agreement constitutes a legal,
        valid and binding obligation of the Parent Support Provider, 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.

     

    (v)          No Conflict.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement
        and the performance by the Parent Support Provider of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Parent Support Provider, will not (i) contravene the organizational documents of the
        Parent Support Provider, or (ii) conflict with, violate or result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any indenture, contract, agreement,
        mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Parent Support Provider is a party or by which it or its properties are bound, except where such conflict, violation or breach would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
        Effect.

     

    (vi)          No Violation.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement
        by the Parent Support Provider, the performance by the Parent Support Provider of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Parent Support Provider will not violate any Law applicable
        to the Parent Support Provider, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (vii)          No Proceedings.  There are no actions, suits,
        investigations or other proceedings pending, or to its knowledge threatened, against the Parent Support Provider or any of its properties, that if adversely determined (individually or in the aggregate), would reasonably be expected to have a
        Material Adverse Effect.

     

    
      6

      
        

    

    (viii)          Governmental Approvals.  No authorization or approval or

    (ix)          Compliance with Law.  It has complied with all applicable
        Law, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

    Section 5.          Amendments.

     

    (i)          Amendments to Clarify and Correct Errors and Defects.  The
        parties may amend this Agreement, without the consent of any Creditor Representatives or Creditors, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, correcting an error or correcting or supplementing any provision of this Agreement that may be defective or
        inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement.

     

    (ii)          Other Amendments.  Other than as set forth in Section
        5(iii), the parties may also amend this Agreement, without the consent of any Creditor Representatives or Creditors, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any provisions of, this Agreement or of
        modifying in any manner the rights of the Creditors under this Agreement if either (x) the Trust or the Administrator delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Master Collateral Agent and the Owner Trustee stating that the Trust or the
        Administrator, as applicable, reasonably believes that such amendment will not have a material adverse effect on the interest of any Creditor or (y) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied for all Credit Extensions then rated by a Rating
        Agency with respect to such amendment.

     

    (iii)          Amendments Requiring Consent of all Affected Creditors. 
        This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, with the consent of the Majority Creditor Representatives of each Group adversely affected thereby, with prior written notice to the applicable Rating Agencies (if any
        Credit Extensions of an affected Group are then rated by such Rating Agency), and the Master Collateral Agent, for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Agreement or of
        modifying in any manner the rights of the Creditors under this Agreement.

     

    
      7

      
        

    

    It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Creditors, the applicable Creditor Representatives or the Master Collateral Agent pursuant to this
      Section 5 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Creditor (acting through its Creditor Representative)
      consenting to any amendment shall be deemed to agree that such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on such Creditor and any Creditor Representative consenting to any amendment shall be deemed to agree that such amendment does not have a
      material adverse effect on such Creditor Representative or its Creditors.

     

    (iv)          Master Collateral Agent Consent.  The consent of the Master
        Collateral Agent will be required for any amendment under Section 5 (ii) or (iii) that has a material adverse effect on the rights, duties, obligations, immunities or indemnities of the Master Collateral Agent.

     

    (v)          Notice of Amendments.  Promptly after the execution of an
        amendment, the Administrator will deliver a copy of the amendment to the Rating Agencies, if any.

     

    (vi)          Opinions.  Prior to the execution of any amendment to this
        Agreement, the Owner Trustee and the Master Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and the Trust Financing
        Agreements.

     

    (vii)          Deemed Consent for All Creditors.  In the event that the
        Trust Financing Agreement for a Series enables a portion of the Creditors of that Series, or any Class of that Series, to exercise consent rights for such Series, the consent (or lack thereof) of such portion of the Creditors shall be deemed to be
        the consent (or lack thereof) of all Creditors of such Series.

     

    (viii)          Trust Financing Agreements.  The Trust Financing Agreement
        for any Series may have additional requirements or criteria to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement, and no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall occur unless each of the additional criteria,
        if any, has been satisfied.

     

    Section 6.          Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)          The Parent Support Provider agrees that any payments hereunder will comprise
        Collections and be allocated by the Trust according to Section 9.4 of the Master Collateral Agreement.

     

    (b)          Any payments hereunder shall be made in full in U.S. dollars without any set-off,
        deduction or counterclaim; and the Parent Support Provider’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied by any tender or recovery of another currency except to the extent such tender or recovery results in receipt of the full amount of U.S.
        dollars required hereunder.

     

    
      8

      
        

    

    (c)          This Agreement and the payment obligations of the Parent Support Provider hereunder
        shall rank pari passu with any similar support agreements issued by the Parent Support Provider or any senior unsecured debt of the Parent Support Provider.

     

    (d)          This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the other
        Beneficiaries and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  The Parent Support Provider shall not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Beneficiaries.  Each of
        the parties hereto agrees that each Beneficiary shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

     

    (e)          THIS AGREEMENT, 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).

     

    (f)          Each party submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court
        for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York, New York for legal proceedings relating to this Agreement.  Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may
        now or in the future have to the venue of a proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that the proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum.

     

    (g)          TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL
        RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING THEREUNDER WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

     

    (h)          No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
        right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

     

    Section 7.          Termination of Agreement. 

        (a)  This Agreement and the Parent Support Provider’s obligations hereunder shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) the date on which all the Credit Extensions have been indefeasibly paid in full and the
        Transaction Documents and other Series Related Documents have terminated in accordance with their terms, and (ii) such time as all Guaranteed Obligations are duly performed and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, provided, that this
        Agreement and the Parent Support Provider’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
        returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Covered Entity as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not any of the Beneficiaries (or their respective assigns) are in possession of
        this Agreement.  No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the bankruptcy,

     

    
      9

      
        

    

    insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws, or any other Law or order of any Governmental Authority thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed
      Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of the Parent Support Provider under this Agreement.

     

    (b)          This Agreement shall survive the insolvency of any Covered Entity, any Beneficiary or
        any other Person and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Covered Entity or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law.  No automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
        reorganization or other similar Law with respect to any Covered Entity or any other Person shall postpone the obligations of the Parent Support Provider under this Agreement.

     

    Section 8.          Set-off.  Each
        Beneficiary (and its assigns) is hereby authorized by the Parent Support Provider at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Parent Support Provider (any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent Support Provider) and to the
        fullest extent permitted by Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other sums at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, any such Beneficiary to or for
        the credit to the account of the Parent Support Provider, against any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Support Provider, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement.

     

    Section 9.          Entire Agreement;
            Severability; No Party Deemed Drafter.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents referenced herein constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein.  The rights and remedies
        herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law or any other agreement, and this Agreement shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The provisions of this
        Agreement are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law, if the obligations of the Parent
        Support Provider hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of the Parent Support Provider’s liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
        Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Parent Support Provider or any Beneficiary, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in
        such action or proceeding.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
        remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto
        shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

     

    Section 10.          Expenses. 
        The Parent Support Provider agrees to pay on demand to the extent not otherwise paid under the Master Collateral Agreement or any other Transaction Document or other Series Related Document:

     

    
      10

      
        

    

    (a)          all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Beneficiary in
        connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any amendment, restatement or supplement of, or consent or waivers under, this Agreement (whether or not consummated), enforcement of, or any actual or
        claimed breach of, or claim under, this Agreement, including the fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection therewith and all accountants’, auditors’, consultants’ and other agents’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any of the
        foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement; and

     

    (b)          all stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
        taxes, charges or similar levies payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, if such taxes are imposed by the United States (or any state or political subdivision thereof).

     

    Section 11.          Addresses for Notices. 

        All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile and email communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by express mail or nationally recognized
        overnight courier or by certified mail, first class postage prepaid, or by facsimile, to the intended party at the address, facsimile number or email address of such party set forth in Schedule A to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, which
        address the party may change by notifying the other parties hereto.  All such notices and communications shall be effective, (a) if personally delivered or sent by express mail or courier or if sent by certified mail, when received and (b) if
        transmitted by facsimile or email, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephonic or electronic means.

     

    Section 12.          No Petition.  The Parent Support Provider 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 or (b) the Credit Extensions, it will not start or pursue against, or join any other Person in starting or pursuing against, (i) the Depositor or (ii) the Trust, respectively, any
        bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar Law.  This Section 12 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

     

    Section 13.          Electronic Signatures. 

        Each party agrees that this Agreement and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed, and that any electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement or such other documents are the same as handwritten
        signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility.
