    (h) “UK Securitization Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 (as applicable on December 31, 2020) as retained as part of the domestic law of the United Kingdom pursuant to the EUWA, and as amended by the Securitisation

    (i) “UK Securitization Regulation Rules” means (i) the UK Securitization Regulation and (ii) to the extent informing the interpretation of the UK Securitization Regulation, (A) any relevant regulatory and/or implementing

        successors), and (C) any other implementing laws or regulations in force in the United Kingdom relating to the UK Securitization Regulation,

     

    2. This Agreement is being executed by each Originator for the benefit of the Trust and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of each Noteholder that is an EU Affected Investor or a UK Affected Investor) and each such Person’s
        successors and assigns.

     

    3. Each Originator hereby confirms, represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and hereby covenants and agrees, that, until the date on which the Note Balance of each Class of Notes has been paid in full and with
        reference to both the EU Securitization Regulation Rules and the UK Securitization Regulation Rules, in each case as in effect and applicable on the Closing Date (and, save where indicated below, without taking into account any later amendment,
        supplement or replacement of or to the EU Securitization Regulation Rules or the UK Securitization Regulation Rules or any relevant national measures):

     

    (a) The Originators, as originators for purposes of the EU Securitization Regulation and the UK Securitization Regulation, shall retain, through their ownership of the beneficial interest in Verizon DPPA True-up Trust (the “True-up

          Trust”), on an ongoing basis a material net economic interest of not less than 5.0% in the securitization described in the prospectus relating to the Notes dated August 2, 2022, determined in accordance with Article 6 of the EU Securitization
        Regulation and Article 6 of the UK Securitization Regulation, each as in effect on the Closing Date, in the form of an originator’s interest of not less than 5.0% of the nominal value of the securitized exposures, as referred to in paragraph (b) of
        Article 6(3) of the EU Securitization Regulation and paragraph (b) of Article 6(3) of the UK Securitization Regulation, through the True-up Trust’s holding of Certificates, Class R interests and any retained Credit Extensions issued by the Trust,
        together giving the True-up Trust the right to receive distributions of (A) amounts not allocated to any Series and (B) amounts allocated to any Series and remaining after payments to Creditors (other than the True-up Trust) and other persons with
        respect to that Series, and in

     

    
      2

      
        

    

    each case ranking pari passu with or subordinated to the credit risk that has been securitized with respect to those exposures (together, the “EU/UK

        Retained Interest”).

     

    (b) The Originators shall hold the EU/UK Retained Interest on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the total nominal values of the Receivables originated by each of them and outstanding from
        time to time, by means of each Originator’s holding of a beneficial interest in the True-up Trust, which shall be adjusted from time to time, in proportion to the aggregate nominal values of Receivables originated by such Originator and outstanding
        from time to time and the performance of those Receivables.

     

    (c) The EU/UK Retained Interest shall be measured as of the Closing Date, the last day of each Collection Period and each Payment Date.  For this purpose, (i) the amount of the EU/UK Retained Interest from time to time shall equal
        the sum of (A) the excess of the aggregate Principal Balance of all Eligible Receivables for any Series over the sum of the Adjusted Series Invested Amounts of all Series then outstanding, plus (B) the sum of the Required OC Amounts with respect to
        all Series, plus (C) the excess of the aggregate nominal values of the Receivables over the aggregate Principal Balance of all Eligible Receivables for any Series, and (ii) the aggregate nominal values of the Receivables shall be calculated without
        deduction for or on account of any Receivable having become a Written-Off Receivable after the Acquisition Date on which it was acquired by the Trust.

     

    (d) Without prejudice to paragraph 3(b), the Originators shall not, and shall procure that the True-up Trust does not, change the retention option or methodology used to calculate the EU/UK Retained Interest while any of the Notes
        are outstanding, except to the extent permitted under the EU Securitization Regulation Rules and the UK Securitization Regulation Rules, in each case as in effect at the time of such change.

     

    (e) The Originators shall not, and shall procure that the True-up Trust does not, hedge or otherwise mitigate its credit risk under or associated with the EU/UK Retained Interest or sell, transfer or otherwise surrender all or part
        of the rights, benefits or obligations arising from the EU/UK Retained Interest, except to the extent permitted under the EU Securitization Regulation Rules and the UK Securitization Regulation Rules, in each case as in effect at the time of such
        hedging, mitigation, sale, transfer or surrender.

     

    (f) The Originators shall confirm (or shall procure that Cellco confirms on behalf of itself and each of the other Originators) to the Servicer on a monthly basis, and hereby authorize the Servicer to so confirm in each Monthly
        Investor Report with respect to Series 2022-5, that they continue to hold the EU/UK Retained Interest in accordance with this Agreement.

     

    (g) In addition, the Originators shall provide (or shall procure that Cellco provides on behalf of itself and each of the other Originators) a confirmation to the Indenture Trustee that they continue to hold the EU/UK Retained
        Interest in accordance with this Agreement (i) promptly following the occurrence of an Amortization Event or an Event of Default and (ii) upon request of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of any Noteholder that is an EU Affected Investor or a UK
        Affected Investor following a material change in (1) the structural features that can materially impact on the performance of the Notes or (2) the risk characteristics of the Notes or the Receivables.

     

    
      3

      
        

    

    4. Each of the Originators further represents and warrants to each of the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of each Noteholder that is an EU Affected Investor or a UK Affected Investor) as follows, as of the
        date of this Agreement:

     

    (a) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organisation 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;

     

    (b) its execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part; and

     

    (c) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, 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.

     

    5. No amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by (a) Cellco on behalf of itself and each of the other Originators, (b) the
        Depositor, (c) the Administrator on behalf of the Trust and (d) either (1) without the consent of the Indenture Trustee if the Trust or the Administrator delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee stating that the Trust or the
        Administrator, as applicable, reasonably believes that the amendment will not result in the Originators’ holding of the EU/UK Retained Interest ceasing to comply with the EU Securitization Regulation Rules and the UK Securitization Regulation
        Rules, in each case as in effect as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders that are either EU Affected Investors or UK Affected Investors or (2) notwithstanding any conflicting
        provision of the Indenture, if the interests of the Noteholders that are either EU Affected Investors or UK Affected Investors are materially and adversely affected by such amendment, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, acting at the written
        direction of all Noteholders that are EU Affected Investors or UK Affected Investors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Originators and shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor, the Administrator on behalf of the Trust, the
        Indenture Trustee (on behalf of each Noteholder that is an EU Affected Investor or a UK Affected Investor) and each such Person’s successors and assigns.  None of the Originators shall assign any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than
        to an Affiliate that becomes a successor to all the assets and liabilities of such Originator) without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee; provided that such consent shall not be required if the Trust or the Administrator delivers
        an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee stating that the Trust or the Administrator, as applicable, reasonably believes that such assignment will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders.

     

    6. Each Originator 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 or loans entered into 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,

     

    
      4

      
        

    

    arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar Law.

     

    7. THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE 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).

     

    8. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:

     

    (A) IT HEREBY 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 PURPOSES OF ALL
        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING AND ANY CLAIM
        THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

     

    (B) 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
        WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

     

    9. Any Affiliate of the Originators or other person who from time to time becomes an Originator under the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement may become a party to this Agreement upon the delivery to the Administrator, on
        behalf of the Trust, of an originator joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Originator Joinder Agreement”).  Upon receipt by the Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, of such a duly executed and
        delivered Originator Joinder Agreement, such Originator shall become party to, and have the obligations of an Originator under, this Agreement.

     

    10. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts. Each counterpart will be an original and all counterparts will together be one document.  Delivery of an
        executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, email or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     

    11. Each
        party agrees that this Agreement may be electronically signed, and that any electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility.

     

    
      5

      
        

    

    12. This
        Agreement has been signed on behalf of the Trust by Wilmington Trust, National Association not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Trust.  In no event will Wilmington Trust, National Association in its
        individual capacity or as a beneficial owner of the Trust be liable for any agreements or other obligations of the Trust under this Agreement.  For all purposes under this Agreement, the Owner Trustee is subject to, and entitled to the benefits of,
        the Trust Agreement.

     

    13. The
        Indenture Trustee is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement solely for the purpose of obtaining the benefit of the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have undertaken any
        obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility to monitor compliance with or be charged with knowledge of any of the EU Securitization Regulation Rules or the UK Securitization
        Regulation Rules, nor shall it be liable to any Noteholder or any party whatsoever for any violation of any of the EU Securitization Regulation Rules or the UK Securitization Regulation Rules or any similar provisions now or hereafter in effect or
        for any breach of any term of this Agreement.

	Thomas Hansen
	 

	 
	 

	Dear Thomas,
	 

	 

	It is my pleasure to confirm our offer of employment to join Amplitude, Inc. ("Amplitude" or "the Company") working on our mission to help the world build better products. The following represents the key elements of our offer, which is contingent upon the successful completion of a reference check and a background check.

	 
	 

	Position:
	President

	 
	 

	Reports To:
	Spenser Skates, Chief Executive Officer

	 
	 

	Start Date:
	July 8, 2022

	 
	 

	Base Salary:
	$500,000.00, expressed as an annualized figure, less payroll deductions and all required withholdings. You will be paid semi-monthly, in accordance with Amplitude's payroll practices.

	 
	 

	 
	Your position is exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act and is not eligible for overtime.

	 
	 

	Variable Compensation:
	You will have the ability to earn a bonus amount of $500,000.00. The details of your variable compensation including On-Target Earnings, Quotas, Accelerators, Bonuses, Payouts and Draws, along with other important information are in the Amplitude, Inc. Variable Compensation Plan, which both you and the Company will sign.

	 
	 

	Common Stock:
	Subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 675,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The exercise price will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date of grant, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Shares will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 60 months of service. This is only a general description and this option grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan") and Stock Option Agreement thereunder.

	 
	 

	 
	Subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) you will be granted 1,000,000 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). Any RSUs granted to you will be subject to the approval of the Board or applicable committee and will be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable grant agreement under the Company's 2021 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"). The RSUs will vest over 20 equal quarterly installments, subject to your continued service with the Company through each such date, or as otherwise described in the Plan or the award agreement issued to you thereunder.

	In the event there is a Termination of Service (as defined in the Plan) without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or you leave for Good Reason (as defined below) during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), 100% of your then-unvested RSUs and options shall become fully vested.

	 
	 

	 
	Definition of Good Reason. For purposes hereof, "Good Reason" shall mean that you have complied in all material respects with the "Good Reason Process" (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events, without your prior written consent: (i) a reduction of your Annual Base Salary by more than 10% (except in connection with an across-the-board reduction in the salary of all similarly situated employees); (ii) a material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities, provided that a mere change of title alone shall not constitute such a material diminution and that a reduction in your authority, duties and/or responsibilities by virtue of the fact that the Company has become part of a larger organization shall not by itself constitute grounds for a termination for Good Reason as long as you retain substantially the same authority, duties and responsibilities of a division, subsidiary or business unit that constitutes substantially the business of the Company; or (iii) relocation of your principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from your then-current principal place of employment.

	 
	 

	 
	Definition of Good Reason Process.

If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

	 
	 

	Benefits:
	Amplitude has a comprehensive benefits package for employees, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), commuter benefits, pre-tax spending accounts, wellness, paid time off and sick leave programs available for you to participate in subject to the Company's and the plans' eligibility requirements as described in benefits documents that will be provided to you on your Start Date.

	 
	 

	 
	Healthcare benefits are effective on your date of hire.

	 

	By accepting this contingent offer, you understand that Amplitude Inc. is an "at-will" employer. This means that employment with Amplitude is not for a specific term and can be terminated by you or Amplitude at any time, for any reason, with or without cause or notice. The Company retains the right to reassign, transfer and change the employee's job duties, benefits and compensation at any time with or without notice, and with or without cause, in its sole discretion. The at-will nature of your employment relationship shall remain unchanged during your tenure as an employee and may only be changed by the expressed written agreement that is signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

This letter is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company regarding our offer of employment to you and replaces any prior communication between you and the Company about your employment terms.
