first Due Period in the Accumulation Period (after giving effect to any prior delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.13).

following conditions will be satisfied: (i) the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer reasonably believes that, based on the
payment rate and the anticipated availability of Series Principal Amounts and Reallocated 

  
 14 








 Principal Amounts, the delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class C(2017-1) Notes will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date; (ii) such delay is permitted under the Series
2007-CC Series Supplement or any other applicable agreement relating to any Additional Collateral Certificate; and (iii) the Accumulation Amount, the Accumulation Commencement Date and the Accumulation

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its
Class C(2017-1) DiscoverSeries Notes (herein called the “Class C(2017-1) Notes”), all issued under an Amended and Restated
Indenture, dated as of December 22, 2015 (such Indenture, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture”), as
supplemented by a Second Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement for the DiscoverSeries Notes, dated as of December 22, 2015 (such Indenture Supplement, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or
otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture Supplement”), between the Issuer and Indenture Trustee, to which Indenture and Indenture Supplement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class C(2017-1) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the
Terms Document. All terms used in this Class C(2017-1) Note that are defined in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to
the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. 
 The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes
of the DiscoverSeries and other tranches of Class C Notes of the DiscoverSeries will also be issued under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 

The Class C(2017-1) Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged
as security therefor as provided in the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 
 The
Class C(2017-1) Notes are subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes and provide loss protection to the Class A Notes and the
Class B Notes of the DiscoverSeries, to the extent set forth in the Indenture Supplement. Principal Amounts allocable to the Class C(2017-1) Notes may be applied to pay the Class A Interest
Allocation and the Class B Interest Allocation or the Series Servicing Fees of the DiscoverSeries, to the extent set forth in the Indenture Supplement. 

The Stated Principal Amount of the Class C(2017-1) Notes will be payable on the Expected Maturity
Date in an amount described on the face hereof, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement. 
 As described
above, the entire unpaid Stated Principal Amount of this Class C(2017-1) Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Outstanding Dollar
Principal Amount of the Class C(2017-1) Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default relating to the Class C(2017-1) Notes shall
have occurred and be continuing and, except in the event of an insolvency related default, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders of the applicable Series, Class or Tranche of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes
have declared the Class C(2017-1) Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 702 of the Indenture; provided, however, that such
acceleration of the entire unpaid Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes may be rescinded by the Majority Holders of such applicable Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. 

  
 Ex. A-7 








 On any day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount of
any Tranche of Notes is reduced to less than 5% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem such Tranche of Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to
Section 1202 of the Indenture. The redemption price will be an amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest, if any, or principal accreted and unpaid
on such Tranche to but excluding the date of redemption. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Beneficiary, on behalf
of the Note Issuance Trust, may from time to time issue, or direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, to issue, one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes. 

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Holder of Class C(2017-1) Notes
of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution with respect to the Class C(2017-1) Notes) the pro rata share for such Holder of
Class C(2017-1) Notes of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest (only if the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount is not paid in full on
or prior to the Expected Maturity Date) and principal on the Class C Notes. 
 Payments of interest on this Class C(2017-1) Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with any installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this
Class C(2017-1) Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class C(2017-1) Note on the Note Register
as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Class C(2017-1) Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of a clearing agency, payments will be made by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date
without requiring that this Class C(2017-1) Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class C(2017-1) Note (or
any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class C(2017-1) Note and of any
Class C(2017-1) Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the
Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class C(2017-1) Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will
notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed within five days of such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender
of this Class C(2017-1) Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the City of New
York. 

  
 Ex. A-8 








 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and as set
forth in the first legend on the face hereof, the transfer of this Class C(2017-1) Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this
Class C(2017-1) Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New
York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Class C(2017-1) Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Class C(2017-1) Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder or Note
