counterparties or providers named therein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the following: 

(i) the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and, following the execution and delivery of an Assignment of Additional Assets,
any Additional Collateral Certificate (or, if applicable, direct interests in pools of credit card receivables) described thereunder; all rights to vote or to give consents or waivers with respect thereto and all rights under the Series 2007-CC
Collateral Certificate Transfer Agreement and any Additional Asset Transfer Agreement, as applicable; 
 (ii) the Collections
Account; 
 (iii) each other Issuer Account (including all Subaccounts thereof) established from time to time; 

(iv) all Permitted Investments and all investment property, money and other property held in or through the Collections Account
or any other Issuer Account (including all Subaccounts thereof); 
 (v) all rights, benefits and powers under any Derivative
Agreement relating to any Tranche of Notes; 
 (vi) all rights, benefits and powers under any Supplemental Credit Enhancement

later of thirty (30) days before the first solicitation of such Action or the date of the most recent list of Noteholders furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 901 before such solicitation. Such Action may be given
before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date will be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have authorized


  
 27 








 
or agreed or consented to such Action, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding will be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
on the record date will be deemed effective unless it will become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 

(f) Any Action by the Holder of any Note will bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon whether or not notation of such Action is made upon such Note. 

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any Action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or Action taken by
a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 

(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 or pursuant to one or
more Indenture Supplements, a Holder, including a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders,
and a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any such Global Note through such Depository’s standing instructions and customary
practices. 
 (i) The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in or
security entitlements to any Global Note held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken
by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such Action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date. No such Action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 

Section 103. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee and Issuer. Any Action of Noteholders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or sent via facsimile
transmission to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in Subsection 701(c)) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the
Issuer. 

  
 28 








 Section 104. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Every certificate or opinion with
respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for the written statement required by Section 1105) will include: 

(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto; 
 (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or
opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (c) a statement that such individual has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

(d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

Section 105. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. 

(a) Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Registered Note provides for notice to Registered Noteholders of any event, such
notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Registered Note expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or
personally delivered to each Holder of a Registered Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Registered Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery neither the failure to mail, send by facsimile, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholders will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner
herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given. 
 Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any
Registered Note provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Registered Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

(b) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it will be impractical
to mail notice of any event to any Holder of a Registered Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer will
be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

  
 29 








 (d) With respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the applicable Indenture Supplement
may specify different or additional means of giving notice to the Holders of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche. 
 (e) Where this
Indenture provides for notice to any Note Rating Agency, failure to give such notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and will not under any circumstance constitute a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 106. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with another provision (an “incorporated provision”) included in this Indenture by operation of, Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated
provision will control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision will be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded,
as the case may be. 
 Section 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the
Table of Contents are for convenience only and will not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 108. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer will bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents
of the Indenture Trustee. 
 Section 109. Severability of Provisions. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes
will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in any Notes, express or implied, will give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, Derivative Counterparties (to the extent specified in the applicable Derivative Agreement), Supplemental Credit Enhancement
Providers and Supplemental Liquidity Providers (each to the extent specified in the applicable Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement and Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, as applicable) and the Holders of Notes (or such of them as may be
affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 111. Governing
Law. THIS INDENTURE WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE
APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE. 
 Section 112. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 Section 204. Notes Issuable in the Form of a Global Note. 

(a) If the Issuer establishes pursuant to Sections 202 and 301 that the Notes of a particular Series, Class or Tranche are to be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with Section 303 and the authentication order delivered to the Indenture Trustee
or its agent thereunder in accordance with Section 203, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note 

  
 32 








 
or Notes, which, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement (i) will represent, and will be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Amount (or
in the case of Discount Notes, the aggregate Stated Principal Amount at the Expected Maturity Date of such Notes) of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such portion thereof as
Discover Funding, as Beneficiary of the Note Issuance Trust, will specify in such authentication order, (ii) in the case of Registered Notes, will be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Notes or its nominee,
(iii) will be delivered by the Indenture Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction, (iv) if applicable, will bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this Note is
presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name
of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge
or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein” and (v) may bear such other legend as the Issuer, upon advice of counsel,
deems to be applicable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 204 or of Section 305, and
subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Notes, a Global Note may be
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 305, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Note selected or approved by the
Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor Depository. 
 (c) With respect to Notes issued within the United States, unless otherwise
specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, or with respect to Notes issued outside the United States, if specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement: 

(i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such Series, Class or Tranche ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer will
appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note. If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,
the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of an authentication order requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange for such Global Note, will
authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note. 

(ii) The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche or portion
thereof issued or issuable in the form 

  
 33 








 
of one or more Global Notes will no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of a written request by the
Issuer for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and
terms in definitive form in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of such Global Note or Notes representing such Series, Class or Tranche or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Note or Notes. 

(iii) If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Sections 202 and 301 with respect to Notes issued or issuable in the
form of a Global Note, the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Issuer and such Depository. Thereupon the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Note or Notes
of the same Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note;
and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the Stated Principal Amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate Stated Principal Amount
of Notes delivered to the Holders thereof. 
 (iv) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to
such Global Notes, and Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the unpaid Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Global Notes of that Series, Class or Tranche advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository that a Global Note is no longer
in the best interest of the Noteholders, the Holders of Global Notes of that Tranche may exchange such Notes for individual Notes. 

(v) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or
its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire Stated Principal Amount of a Global Note for individual Notes, such Global Note will be canceled by
the Indenture Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding four paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section will be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for
such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, will instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar will deliver such Notes to the Persons in whose
names such Notes are so registered. 
 Section 205. Temporary Global Notes and Permanent Global Notes. 

(a) If specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement for any Tranche, all or any portion of a Global Note may initially be issued in the
form of a single temporary global 

  
 34 








 
Registered Note (the “Temporary Global Note”), in the denomination of the applicable portion or the entire aggregate principal amount of such Series, Class or Tranche and
substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement. The Temporary Global Note will be authenticated by the Indenture Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same
manner and with the same effect as the Notes in definitive form. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged as described below or in the applicable Indenture Supplement for permanent global Registered Notes (the “Permanent Global
Notes”). 
 (b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, exchanges of beneficial interests in or security
entitlements to Temporary Global Notes for beneficial interests in or security entitlements to Permanent Global Notes will be made as provided in this clause. The Beneficiary will, upon its determination of the date of completion of the distribution
of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, so advise the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Foreign Depository, and each foreign clearing agency forthwith. Without unnecessary delay, but in any event not prior to the Exchange Date, the Issuer
will execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee at the office of its designated agent outside the United States Permanent Global Notes in bearer or registered form (as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement) in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global Notes only on or after the Exchange Date. A
United States Person may exchange its beneficial interest in or security entitlement to the Temporary Global Note only for an equal aggregate principal amount of Permanent Global Notes in registered form bearing the applicable legend set forth in
the form of Registered Note attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement and having a minimum denomination of $500,000, which may be in temporary form if the Issuer so elects. The Issuer may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if
it so elects. Upon any demand for exchange for Permanent Global Notes in accordance with this clause, the Issuer will cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Permanent Global Notes to the Holder according to the instructions of
the Holder, only upon presentation to the Indenture Trustee of a written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine) with respect to the Temporary Global Note, or portion thereof being
exchanged, signed by a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository and dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the Temporary
Global Note, or a portion thereof being exchanged, by a United States qualified institutional buyer pursuant to this clause, the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine) signed by
the beneficial owner which sold the relevant Notes or (ii) in all other cases, the certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (or such other form as the Issuer may determine), the certificate referred to in this clause
(ii) being dated on the earlier of the first payment of interest in respect of such Note and the date of the delivery of such Note in definitive form. Upon receipt of such certification, the Indenture Trustee will cause the Temporary Global
Note to be endorsed in accordance with clause (d). Any exchange as provided in this Section will be made free of charge to the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Temporary Global Note and to the beneficial owners of the Permanent Global Note
issued in exchange, except that a Person receiving the Permanent Global Note must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person does not receive such Permanent Global Note in person at the offices of
a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository. 

  
 35 








 (c) The delivery to the Indenture Trustee by a foreign clearing agency or Foreign Depository of
any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or certifications has or have been delivered to such foreign clearing agency pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture. 
 (d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Temporary Global Note for a Permanent Global Note or
Notes, such Temporary Global Note will be endorsed by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Permanent Global Note or Notes. Until so
exchanged in full, such Temporary Global Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Permanent Global Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Note
will not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Notes until they have exchanged their beneficial interests or security entitlements to such Temporary Global Note for Permanent Global Notes. 

Section 206. Beneficial Ownership of Global Notes. Until definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Noteholders pursuant
to Section 204 or as otherwise specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement: 
 (a) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may
deal with the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners; and

 (b) the rights of the respective Note Owners will be exercised only through the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing
agency’s or Depository’s participants and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the clearing agency or Depository and/or the clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants.
Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable clearing agency, unless and until Notes in definitive form are issued pursuant to Section 204, the clearing agency or Depository will make book-entry transfers among the clearing
agency’s or Depository’s participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Notes to such clearing agency’s or Depository’s participants. 

For purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Noteholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the clearing agency and the clearing agency’s participants) owning
interests in or security entitlements to Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes. 
 Section 207.
Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which book-entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Notes in definitive form will have been issued to the related
Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will give all such notices and communications to the applicable clearing agency or Depository.

be provided in the provisions of this Indenture or in or pursuant to the applicable Indenture Supplement. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Registered Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, the Registered Notes of that
Series, Class or Tranche will be issued in denominations of $100,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 303.
Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating. 
 (a) The Notes will be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Issuer Authorized
Officer. The signature of any officer of the Beneficiary or the Owner Trustee on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. 
 (b) Notes bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time an Issuer Authorized Officer will bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices before the authentication and delivery of
such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes. 
 (c) At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for authentication; and the Indenture Trustee will, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 203
above, authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. 
 (d) The Indenture Trustee will not be
required to authenticate such Notes if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture. 

(e) Unless otherwise provided in the form of Note for any Series, Class or Tranche, all Notes will be dated the date of their authentication.

 (f) No Note will be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Note a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee (including, if 

  
 40 








 
applicable, by an Authenticating Agent appointed under Section 815) by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note will be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 304. Temporary Notes. 

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, the Issuer may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents
required by Section 303, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Issuer may determine, as evidenced by the Issuer’s execution of such Notes. 

(b) If temporary Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche will be exchangeable for definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche upon surrender of the temporary Notes
of such Series, Class or Tranche at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee will
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Stated Principal Amount of definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes of such Series, Class
or Tranche will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche. 

Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) The Issuer will keep or cause to be kept a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Registered Notes, or of Registered Notes of a particular Series, Class or Tranche, and for transfers of Registered Notes or of Registered
Notes of such Tranche. Any such register will be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers will be
available for inspection by the Indenture Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer as provided in Section 1103. 

(b) Subject to Section 204, upon surrender for transfer of any Registered Note of any Series, Class or Tranche at the office or
agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, and, upon receipt of such surrendered Note, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Maturity Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms.


  
 41 








 (c) Subject to Section 204, at the option of the Holder, Notes of any Series, Class
or Tranche may be exchanged for other Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Maturity Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms, upon surrender of the Notes
to be exchanged at such office or agency. Registered Notes may not be exchanged for Notes in bearer form. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, the Notes
which the Noteholders making the exchange are entitled to receive. 
 (d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes will be
the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange will (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly
indorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the Note to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge will be made on any Noteholder for any transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may (unless otherwise provided in such Note) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes before the
transfer or exchange will be complete, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 not involving any transfer. 
 (g) None of
the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day
of selection of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche so selected for redemption.

 (h) [Reserved]. 
 (i) None
of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Note Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership. 
 (j) The Issuer initially
appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as Note Registrar for the Registered Notes on its behalf. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Note Registrar in place of the Indenture Trustee with respect to
any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes issued under this Indenture. 
 (k) Registration of transfer of Notes containing the following legend
or to which the following legend is applicable: 
 “THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ANY
STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS. THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.” 

  
 42 








 will be effected only if such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act other than
Rule 144A under the Securities Act or Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, any requirements to transfer notes that have not been registered under the Securities Act, including any forms of transferor or transferee
certifications, will be contained in the Terms Document relating to such notes. 
 Notes issued upon registration or transfer of, or Notes
issued in exchange for, Notes bearing the legend referred to above will also bear such legend unless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend
may be removed. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. 

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, or the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the
Indenture Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer will execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee
will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, Series, Class or Tranche, Expected Maturity Date, Legal Maturity Date and Stated Principal Amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 
 (b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the
Issuer shall, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

  
 43 








 (c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. 

(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note will constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of
the same Series, Class or Tranche duly issued hereunder. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and will preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Withholding Taxes. 

(a) Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Note pursuant to Section 301 interest payable on any Registered Note will be
paid to the Person in whose name that Note is registered at the close of business on the most recent Record Date. 
 (b) Subject to clause
(a), each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note will carry the rights to interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other
Note. 
 (c) The right of any Noteholder to receive interest on or principal of any Note shall be subject to any applicable withholding or
deduction imposed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law, including foreign withholding and deduction. Each Noteholder shall provide the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent, the Issuer or other person responsible for
withholding or deduction of taxes with the Tax Information, and agrees to update such Tax Information promptly upon request of the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent, the Issuer or other person responsible for withholding or deduction of taxes or when
the Tax Information expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. Any amounts properly so withheld or deducted shall be treated as actually paid to the appropriate Noteholder. 

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Beneficiary and any agent of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Beneficiary may treat the Person who is proved to be the owner of such Note pursuant to Subsection 102(c) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Beneficiary, nor any agent of the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Beneficiary will be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 309.
Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange will be cancelled by the Indenture Trustee, and, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee and, if not 

  
 44 








 
already canceled, will be promptly canceled by it. No Note will be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will dispose of all canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and will deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Issuer. 

Section 310. New Issuances of Notes.

issuance is to occur, the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee notice of such new issuance; 
 (ii) on or prior to the
date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee and each Note Rating Agency an Issuer Certificate to the effect that: 

(A) the Issuer reasonably believes that the new issuance will not cause an Early Redemption Event or Event of Default for any
Outstanding Notes (for the avoidance of doubt, in giving this certification the Issuer need not consider any effects on the timing of principal payments on Outstanding Subordinated Notes caused by the issuance of Senior Notes); 

(B) all instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee conform to the requirements of this Indenture and constitute sufficient
authority hereunder for the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Notes; 
 (C) the form and terms of such
Notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (D) the Series Investor Interest for
each Collateral Certificate has been increased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Notes to be issued by the Note Issuance Trust and (ii) the percentage of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such
Notes to be allocated to that Collateral Certificate, as determined by the Calculation Agent and notified to Discover Funding; provided that the amount of such increase may be reduced to the extent of any reductions in the Series Investor
Interest as a result of reductions in the Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Notes on the date of issuance in connection with principal payments and deposits; 

which certificate shall also include such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request; 

  
 45 








 (iii) on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer will
have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and each Note Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel, which may be from internal counsel of the Issuer or any Beneficiary, that all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Issuer
of such Notes have been complied with, the Issuer has the trust power and authority to issue such Notes and such Notes have been duly authorized and delivered by the Issuer and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Indenture Trustee,
constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles
affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity) and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other
Outstanding Notes, if any, of such Series, Class or Tranche, subject to the terms of this Indenture, each Indenture Supplement and each Terms Document; 

(iv) on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer will have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the
Note Rating Agencies a Master Trust Tax Opinion for each applicable Master Trust and an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such issuance; 

(v) the Issuer satisfies the Rating Agency Condition for all Outstanding Notes with respect to the new issuance; 

(vi) on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, each of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will have executed
and delivered an Indenture Supplement and, if applicable, each of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will have executed and delivered a Terms Document relating to the applicable Class or Tranche of Notes; 

(vii) in the case of Foreign Currency Notes, the Issuer will have appointed one or more Paying Agents in the appropriate
countries; 
 (viii) the conditions specified herein or in Section 311 are satisfied; and

provided, however, that any one of the aforementioned conditions may be eliminated or modified as a condition precedent to any new issuance of a
Series, Class or Tranche of Notes if the Issuer has obtained approval from each applicable Note Rating Agency. 
 (b) The Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee will not be required to provide prior notice to or to obtain the consent of any Noteholder of any Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche to issue any additional Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche. In addition, the Issuer agrees to
provide notice of new issuances of Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes as may be required by and in accordance with Item 1121(a)(14) of Regulation AB. 

  
 46 








 (c) There are no restrictions on the timing or amount of any additional issuance of Notes of an
Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, so long as the conditions described in this Section 310 and any provisions relating to required subordination in the applicable Indenture Supplement are met or waived. As of the date of any
additional issuance of Notes of an Outstanding Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Stated Principal Amount, Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount and Nominal Liquidation Amount of that Series, Class or Tranche will be increased to reflect the
principal amount of the additional Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, if the additional Notes are part of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as applicable, for which all previously issued Notes in such Series,
Class or Tranche have the benefit of a Derivative Agreement, the Issuer will enter into a Derivative Agreement for the benefit of the additional Notes. In addition, if the additional Notes are part of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as
applicable, for which all previously issued Notes in such Series, Class or Tranche have the benefit of any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or any Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, the Issuer will enter into a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Agreement or Supplemental Liquidity Agreement, as applicable, for the benefit of the additional Notes. Furthermore, the targeted deposits, if any, to any applicable Issuer Account will be increased proportionately to reflect the
principal amount of the additional Notes. 
 When issued, the additional Notes of a Tranche will be identical in all respects to the other
Outstanding Notes of that Tranche and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement applicable to the previously issued Notes of such Tranche, as the other Outstanding Notes of that
Tranche without preference, priority or distinction. 
 Section 311. Specification of Required Subordinated Amount and other Terms
with Respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. 
 (a) The applicable Indenture Supplement for each Series, Class or Tranche of
Notes will specify the manner of calculating the Required Subordinated Amount of each Subordinated Class or Tranche of Notes, if any. 
 (b)
The Issuer may change the Required Subordinated Amount or method of computing such amount for any Class or Tranche of Notes at any time, to the extent and subject to the conditions in the applicable Indenture Supplement.

ISSUER ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS 

Section 401. Collections. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of,
and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance from any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture including, without
limitation, all funds and other property payable to the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Collateral. The Indenture Trustee will hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Collateral and will apply it as provided in this
Indenture. 
 Section 402. Issuer Accounts. 

(a) Under the Original Indenture, the Issuer caused one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts to be established (each such account together with
any successor account, a “Collections Account” and collectively, the “Collections Accounts”) in the name of the Indenture Trustee and for which the Indenture Trustee is the customer of the deposit bank,
bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. All collections and distributions received pursuant to Section 401 shall be deposited into
the Collections Account. From time to time in connection with the issuance of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Issuer may cause the Indenture Trustee to establish one or more Eligible Deposit Accounts denominated as “Issuer
Accounts” in the name of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other assets deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. All investments of funds on
deposit in the Collections Account or any Issuer Account shall be credited to the Collections Account or an Issuer Account except for any repurchase agreements or other general intangibles covered by the UCC financing statement filed under the
Indenture and any investments that are otherwise under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106, as applicable, of the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee. The Collections Account and any Issuer Account shall be under the control
(within the meaning of Section 9-104 or 9-106, as applicable, of the UCC) of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. If, at any time, the institution holding the Collections Account or any Issuer
Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Issuer shall notify each applicable Note Rating Agency thereof and shall within 10 Business Days of knowledge or notice of the ineligibility (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as
to which each applicable Note Rating Agency (other than Moody’s, which has requested notification rather than a consent right) may consent in writing) establish a new Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable, that is an Eligible
Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or investments from such Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable, to such new Collections Account or Issuer Account, as applicable. From the date each such new Collections Account is
established, it shall be the “Collections Account.” From the date each such new Issuer Account is established, it shall be an “Issuer Account.” Any Issuer Account will receive deposits as set forth herein, in the Indenture and in
the applicable Indenture Supplement. 
 (b) All payments to be made from time to time by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders out of funds
in the Issuer Accounts pursuant to this Indenture and any Indenture 

  
 48 








 
Supplement will be made by the Paying Agent on the applicable Payment Date in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Depository, or as otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture
Supplement but only to the extent of available funds in the applicable Issuer Account or Subaccount. 
 Section 403. Investment of

 (a) Funds on deposit in the Issuer Accounts will (unless otherwise stated in the
applicable Indenture Supplement) be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Issuer in one or more Permitted Investments. Absent such a direction, funds shall be invested in First American Funds, First
American Prime Class Z (Ticker FPZXX); provided that the Calculation Agent may specify in writing from time to time a replacement investment that satisfies the definition of Permitted Investment and after any such instruction is given, absent a
specific direction funds shall be invested in such replacement investment. The Issuer may authorize the Indenture Trustee to make specific investments pursuant to written instructions, in such amounts as the Issuer will specify. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, funds held by the Indenture Trustee in any of the Issuer Accounts will be invested in Permitted Investments that will mature in each case no later than the date on which such funds in the Issuer Accounts are scheduled to be transferred or
distributed by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture (or as necessary to provide for timely payment of principal or interest on the applicable Payment Date). 

(b) All funds deposited from time to time in the Issuer Accounts pursuant to this Indenture and all Permitted Investments made with such funds
will be held by the Indenture Trustee as part of the Collateral as herein provided, subject to withdrawal by the Indenture Trustee for the purposes set forth herein. Funds and other property in any of the Issuer Accounts will not be commingled with
any other funds or property of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 (c) The Issuer shall cause all Collateral to be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and held as follows: 
 (i) The Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and any Additional Collateral
Certificate shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee; 

(ii) All Permitted Investments that constitute investment property or that the applicable securities intermediary is otherwise
willing to credit to an Issuer Account shall be held in an Issuer Account with a securities intermediary that shall agree with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that (A) such investment property or other assets at all times shall be credited
to a securities account of the Indenture Trustee, (B) all property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (C) such securities intermediary shall treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the
rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such securities account, (D) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without the further consent of any other person or entity,
(E) such securities intermediary shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee,
(F)

  
 49 








 
such securities account and all property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone
claiming through such securities intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee) (and other than fees and expenses of the securities intermediary relating to the applicable Issuer Account), (G) such agreement between such securities
intermediary and the Indenture Trustee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (H) the State of New York shall be the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, that any
such Permitted Investment that would constitute an interest in a trust, partnership or limited liability company shall not be held in an Issuer Account with a securities intermediary but shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the State of
New York registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee or duly endorsed in blank. 
 (iii) All instruments not credited to
an Issuer Account shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York duly endorsed in blank; 
 (iv) In the
case of deposit accounts, the Issuer shall cause the Indenture Trustee to become the customer of the bank with respect to such deposit account; 

(v) In all cases, the Issuer shall cause the filing of an appropriate Financing Statement in the appropriate filing office in
accordance with the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction; and 
 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall maintain possession of any
Collateral delivered to it in the State of New York separate and apart from all other property held by the Indenture Trustee; provided that, other than following an Event of Default and acceleration pursuant to Section 702, no Permitted
Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity. 
 (e) On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and
investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Collections Account will be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.01 of the Trust Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the
related Indenture Supplement, for purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Issuer Accounts for any reason under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, interest and earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be
available or on deposit. 
 Subject to Section 801(c) of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will not in any way be held
liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Issuer Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments
issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. 
 (f) Funds on deposit in the Issuer Accounts
will be invested and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the Indenture Trustee will from time to time determine, but only in one or more Permitted Investments, upon the occurrence of any of the
following events: 
 (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give investment directions to the Indenture Trustee, in which case
the Indenture Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds on deposit in the Issuer Accounts in accordance with Section 403(a); or 

(ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing but no Notes shall have been declared due and payable pursuant
to Section 702 of the Indenture.

the Servicing Fees shall equal the sum of the Investor Servicing Fees, as defined in the related Series Supplements, for each Collateral Certificate. If the total amount allocated under all Indenture Supplements to pay the Servicing Fees for each
Collateral Certificate is less than the amount needed to pay the Servicing Fees in full, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Calculation Agent, shall pay the amounts so allocated to the Master Servicer for each Collateral Certificate
based on the ratio of the Servicing Fee for such Master Servicer to the Servicing Fees for all Master Servicers. The fees of the Calculation Agent shall be allocated to the Calculation Agent by the Master Servicer out of such Servicing Fee. 

(b) With respect to each Due Period, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Calculation Agent, shall allocate to each Series of Notes
an amount equal to the product of 
 (i) the Servicing Fee for such Due Period and 

(ii) the Servicing Fee Allocation Percentage for such Series for such Due Period. 

Section 505. Final Payment. On the earliest to occur of: 

(a) the date of the payment in full of the Stated Principal Amount of and all accrued interest on that Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as
applicable; or 
 (b) for Foreign Currency Notes, the date on which the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Notes, after giving
effect to all deposits, allocations, reallocations, sales of Collateral and payments to be made on such date, is reduced to zero, all Dollar amounts with respect to accrued interest on such Notes are paid in full and all such amounts are converted
to Foreign Currency and paid to Noteholders as set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement. 
 (c) on the Legal Maturity Date of such
Notes, after giving effect to all deposits, allocations, reallocations, sales of Collateral and payments to be made on such date, 
 each Series, Class or
Tranche of Notes, as applicable, will be considered to be paid in full in the manner set forth in the applicable Indenture Supplement. The Holders of such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as applicable, will have no further right or claim, and the
Issuer will have no further obligation or liability with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, as applicable. 

Section 506. Payments within a Series, Class or Tranche. All payments of principal, interest or other amounts to Holders of the
Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche will be made in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

 Section 507. Appointment of Calculation Agent; Resignation or Removal of Calculation
Agent. Discover Bank is hereby appointed as Calculation Agent hereunder. The Calculation Agent shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder
is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Calculation Agent could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, applicable law shall include, without limitation, any condition that relates to the activities of the Calculation Agent under any requirements of law and that, in the Calculation Agent’s reasonable judgment, must be satisfied in order
for any affiliate of the Calculation Agent not otherwise treated as a bank holding company (or any similar designation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as said act may be amended from time to time) to avoid being treated as a bank holding
company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or to avoid limitations under said act upon the activities in which the Calculation Agent or any affiliate of the Calculation Agent may engage. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Calculation Agent shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a successor
Calculation Agent, as applicable, shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder. The successor Calculation Agent shall be (i) for any Collateral Certificate, the successor Master Servicer under the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) for the Note Issuance Trust, the successor Master Servicer under the DCMT Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If any successor Master Servicer shall decline to assume the responsibilities and
obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Calculation Agent. If the Indenture Trustee is unable to appoint a successor Calculation Agent, the Indenture Trustee may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent. 
 Section 508. Delegation of Duties of Calculation Agent. In
the ordinary course of business, the Calculation Agent may at any time delegate any of its duties under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to any Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the applicable guidelines
established in this Indenture. Such delegation shall not relieve the Calculation Agent of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a resignation under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. 

Section 509. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Calculation Agent. Nothing in this Indenture
shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Calculation Agent with or into any other corporation, or any consolidation or merger of any other corporation with or into the Calculation Agent, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Calculation Agent to any other corporation lawfully entitled to acquire the same; provided, however, that, so long as Notes are outstanding hereunder, the Calculation Agent covenants and agrees that any such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer shall be upon the condition that the due and punctual performance and observance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be kept or performed by the Calculation Agent shall, by an
agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, be assumed by the corporation (if other than the Calculation Agent) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger, or which shall have received the
transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Calculation Agent, just as fully and 

  
 53 








 
effectually as if such successor corporation had been the original party of the first part hereto; and in the event of any such sale or transfer the predecessor Calculation Agent may be
dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter. The Calculation Agent shall notify the applicable Note Rating Agencies of any consolidation, merger or transfer of all or substantially all of its property or assets pursuant to this
Section 509.

the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche then Outstanding hereunder (each such Series, Class or Tranche
acting as a separate Class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche then
Outstanding and all interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid (if any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture, the

Indenture Supplements or the Notes to the contrary. 
 (c) If an Event of Default described in clause (d) of Section 701
occurs and is continuing, then the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all the Notes then Outstanding of all Series, Classes and Tranches and all interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid (if any) thereon will automatically be and become

Series, Class or Tranche of Notes pursuant to this Article VII will be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest,

 Section 706.
Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note of any Series, Class or Tranche will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar

 it being understood and intended that no
one or more Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of
such Series, Class or Tranche, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all
the Holders of all Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Date expressed in the related Indenture Supplement and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be without recourse to any originator, the Transferor, Beneficiary, Depositor, the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliate, officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be subject to Article
V and the allocation, payment and subordination provisions of the applicable Indenture Supplement and limited to amounts available from the Collateral pledged to secure the Notes. 

Section 708. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 710. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

of such Series, Class or Tranche, provided that: 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the proceedings so directed would
involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and 
 (b) the Indenture
Trustee may take any other action permitted hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 712. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of more than 662/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche waive any past default hereunder or under

(a) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of such Series, Class or Tranche, or 

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each Outstanding Note of such Series, Class or Tranche. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 713. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s

by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section will not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted
by any Noteholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Legal Maturity Date expressed in such Note. 

Section 714. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at
any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture

requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with the Asset Representations Review.

Reviewer gives notice of its intent to resign or the Master Servicer terminates the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Asset Representations
Reviewer for any reason (the Asset Representations Reviewer in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Asset Representations Reviewer), the Issuer shall cause the Master Servicer to promptly appoint and designate a successor Asset

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE 

Section 801. Duties of Indenture Trustee. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes of which it
has knowledge and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement. If any Event of Default of which
a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has knowledge has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the
requirements of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Issuer of any lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable requirements of this Indenture or any Indenture
Supplement discovered by the Indenture Trustee and if not promptly corrected by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction shall give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of any such lack of conformity that would entitle
a specified percentage of the Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche to take any action pursuant to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. 

(c) Subject to Section 801(a) no provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall be construed to relieve the
Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that: 

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer
or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(ii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes materially
adversely affected by the matter to which such action relates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture
Trustee, under this Indenture; 

  
 63 








 (iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of
Default referred to in Section 701(d) or with knowledge of any Early Redemption Event described in Sections 1201(d) unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such Event of
Default or Early Redemption Event or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such Event of Default or Early Redemption Event from any Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 10% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series,
Class or Tranche of Notes materially adversely affected thereby; and

 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture
or any Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Note Issuance Trust in any Collateral or to impair the value of any Collateral now existing or hereafter created.

interest on any Note of such Series, Class or Tranche, the Indenture Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice
is in the interests of the Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche; provided further, however, that the Indenture Trustee will give notice of any such default to Standard & Poor’s notwithstanding any determination to
withhold such notice from the applicable Noteholders. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default,” with respect to Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would
become, an Event of Default with respect to Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche. 
 Section 803. Certain Matters Affecting the

acting on, or in refraining from acting in accordance with, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Indenture by the proper party or parties;

Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the
Indenture Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or Early Redemption Event (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and to use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; 

  
 65 








 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; 

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless (i) requested in writing to do so by Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating more
than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes which could be materially adversely affected if the Indenture Trustee does not make such investigation and (ii) the Indenture Trustee receives
indemnification from the Noteholders that is reasonably satisfactory to it for costs of such investigation or the Indenture Trustee is otherwise reasonably assured of payment of such costs;

agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(g) the Indenture Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing statements or continuation statements in connection with the Notes,
but will cooperate with the Issuer in connection with the filing of such financing statements or continuation statements; and 
 (h) the
Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

Section 804. Indenture Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Notes. The Indenture Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes). Except as set forth in Section 820, the Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or of the Notes (other than the certificate of authentication on the Notes) or of any Collateral Certificate or related document. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in respect of any Collateral Certificate or any deficiency in amounts deposited
in any Issuer Accounts by the Issuer. 
 Section 805. Indenture Trustee May Own Notes. The Indenture Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights with respect to such Notes as it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee. 

Section 806. Master Servicer to Pay Indenture Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, covenants and
agrees to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation 

  
 66 








 
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created
and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Indenture Trustee, and Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, will pay or reimburse the Indenture Trustee (without reimbursement from any Issuer Account or otherwise)
upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its agents and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. Discover Bank’s obligations, as Master Servicer, under this Section shall survive the termination of the Note Issuance Trust
and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following an Event of Default for any Notes Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, fails to or is unable to pay such reasonable compensation or to reimburse the
Indenture Trustee for such reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, the Indenture Trustee shall have a claim against the Issuer for such amounts subject to the priority set forth in Section 703. 

Section 807. Master Servicer Indemnification of Indenture Trustee. Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Indenture Trustee for any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or other expenses incurred in connection with the
defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against the Indenture Trustee (whether or not indemnified against by other parties) incurred by reason of its acceptance of
the appointment hereunder. Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, shall also indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or other expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against the Indenture
Trustee (whether or not indemnified against by other parties) arising out of any acts or omissions of Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, Discover Funding, as Beneficiary, or the Issuer, as applicable, hereunder including, without limitation, acts or
omissions of Discover Bank, as Master Servicer (including in its role as Calculation Agent and Servicer) relating to the administration of the Note Issuance Trust, the collection of payments due under the Notes, the preparation of reports and other
information with respect to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust, the execution and delivery of any documents relating to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust, and the registration or filing of any document with the Commission, the Internal Revenue
Service or any other securities or tax authority of any jurisdiction with respect to the Notes or the Note Issuance Trust; provided, however, that Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, shall not indemnify the Indenture Trustee to the extent any
such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury results from fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or willful misconduct by the Indenture Trustee or from action taken by the Indenture Trustee at the request of the Noteholders. Discover
Bank’s obligations, as Master Servicer, under this Section shall survive the termination of the Note Issuance Trust and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following an Event of Default for any
Notes Discover Bank, as Master Servicer, fails to or is unable to provide such indemnification to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall have a claim against the Issuer for such amounts subject to the priority set forth in
Section 703. 

  
 67 








 Section 808. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Indenture Trustee has or
will acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture Trustee will, if so required by the Trust Indenture Act, either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and
subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. Nothing herein will prevent the Indenture Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 809. Eligibility Requirements for Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee hereunder shall at
all times: (i) be a bank or trust company in good standing, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers; (ii) have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000; (iii) have a long-term debt rating from Moody’s of at least Baa3 and from Standard & Poor’s of at least BBB-; provided that, in the case of a bank or trust company

authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 809, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or
under common control with the Issuer, serve as Indenture Trustee. If at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 809, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately in

resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Indenture Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 
 (b) If at any time the Indenture Trustee: 

(i) shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 809 hereof and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Issuer; or 
 (ii) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series, Class or Tranche for at least six
(6) months; or 
 (iii) if at any time the Indenture Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, 

  
 68 








 then the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee. 

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 810 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 811 hereof. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Note Rating Agencies of any resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of any successor trustee. 
 Section 811. Successor Trustee. 

(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 810 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to
its predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder and under any Indenture Supplement, with like effect as if originally named as Indenture Trustee herein. The predecessor Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all documents and statements held by it hereunder; and the Issuer and the predecessor Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, power, duties and obligations. 
 (b) No successor
trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 811 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 809 hereof. 

(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 811, such successor trustee shall notify all
Noteholders of such succession hereunder. 
 Section 812. Merger or Consolidation of Indenture Trustee. Any Person into which
the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate
trust business of the Indenture Trustee, shall be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 809 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify each Note Rating Agency of the occurrence of any such event. 

  
 69 








 Section 813. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Note Issuance Trust may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Note Issuance Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Note Issuance Trust, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 813, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 809 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 811 hereof. 

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions: 
 (i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any applicable law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Indenture Trustee; 
 (ii) No trustee hereunder shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any
other trustee hereunder; and 
 (iii) The Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee or co-trustee. 
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each
of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Section 813. Each separate
trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Indenture and any Indenture Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to,
the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Issuer and the Note Rating Agencies. 

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 

  
 70 








 Section 814. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. If and when the
Indenture Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or
been removed will be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein. 
 Section 815.
Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more Series, Classes or
Tranches of Notes which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes of such Series, Classes or Tranches issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 306, and Notes so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will be acceptable to the Issuer and will at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other
than the Issuer itself, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 815, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 815, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section 815. The initial Authenticating Agent for the Notes of all Series, Classes and Tranches will be U.S. Bank National Association. 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation will be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

  
 71 








 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Indenture
Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon
such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent
which will be acceptable to the Issuer and will give notice to each Noteholder as provided in Section 105. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Issuer
from time to time) reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 806. 

If an appointment with respect to one or more Series, Classes or Tranches is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes of such Series, Classes
or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in place of the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, an alternate Certificate of Authentication in the following form: 

This is one of the Notes of the Series, Classes or Tranches designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 Section 816. Tax Returns. In the event the Note Issuance Trust shall be required to file tax
returns, the Issuer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants to prepare any tax returns required to be filed by the Note Issuance Trust and shall remit such returns to the Owner Trustee or Beneficiary for signature
at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. The Issuer shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such information to the Indenture Trustee
at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Issuer, the Calculation Agent and any Beneficiary with all such information known to the Indenture
Trustee 

  
 72 








 
as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Note Issuance Trust, and shall, upon request, execute such returns. In no event shall the Indenture
Trustee or Owner Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Note Issuance Trust or the Noteholders arising under any tax law, including, without limitation, federal, state, local or foreign income or excise taxes or any other
tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith). 

Section 817. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy or other similar proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes will then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise) will be entitled and empowered by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 707) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) to collect and receive any funds or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee, and in the event that the Indenture Trustee will consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Indenture Trustee under Section 807, subject, in each case, to Section 703. 
 Nothing herein contained will be
deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 818. Indenture
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the
Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained. 

  
 73 








 Section 819. Suits for Enforcement. 

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee in its
discretion may, subject to the provisions of Section 711, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or
otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy as the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders. 

(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

 Section 820. Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee represents and warrants and any
successor trustee shall represent and warrant that: 
 (a) The Indenture Trustee is organized, existing and in good standing under the laws
of the United States of America;

Indenture, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture; and

REPORTS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE, 

ISSUER, MASTER SERVICER, SERVICER AND BENEFICIARY 

Section 901. Issuer To Furnish Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of Noteholders. The Issuer will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Indenture Trustee: 
 (a) not more than fifteen (15) days after each Record Date, in each year in such form as the
Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, a list of the names and addresses of the Registered Noteholders of such Series, Classes or Tranches as of such date, and 

(b) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Issuer of any
such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days before the time such list is furnished; 
 provided,
however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished. 

Section 902. Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee will preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 901 and the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture
Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 901 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
 (b) If three
(3) or more Holders of Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) (or, if there are less than three (3) such Holders, all of the Holders) apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and furnish
to the Indenture Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Note of such Series, Class or Tranche for a period of at least six (6) months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or with the Holders of all Notes with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee will, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: 

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with
Subsection 902(a), or 
 (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Notes of such Series,
Class or Tranche or all Notes, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Subsection 902(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such
Noteholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. 

  
 75 








 If the Indenture Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information,
the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Registered Note of such Series, Class or Tranche or to all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the
information preserved at the time by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Subsection 902(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Indenture
Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five (5) days after such tender, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the
Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or
Tranche or all Noteholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement will specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the
written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all
the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Indenture Trustee will mail copies of such material to all Registered Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Registered Noteholders, as the case may
be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Indenture Trustee will be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if such Notes are not then registered under the Exchange Act, any decision of the Indenture Trustee shall be final. 
 (c) Every Holder of
Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee will be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses
of the Holders of Notes in accordance with Subsection 902(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Indenture Trustee will not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material
pursuant to a request made under Subsection 902(b). 
 Section 903. Reports by Indenture Trustee. 

(a) Within sixty (60) days after each Annual Report Date or Transition Report Date, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee will transmit to
Noteholders, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, a brief report dated as of such reporting date if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

(b) To the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture Trustee will mail each year to all Registered Noteholders, with a copy to
the Note Rating Agencies a report concerning:

Indenture; 

  
 76 








 (ii) any amounts advanced by the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture; 

(iii) the amount, interest rate and maturity date of indebtedness owing by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, in its
individual capacity; 
 (iv) the property and funds physically held by the Indenture Trustee by which the related Notes are
secured; 
 (v) any release or release and substitution of Collateral subject to the lien of this Indenture which has not
previously been reported; and 
 (vi) any action taken by the Indenture Trustee that materially affects the Notes and that
has not previously been reported. 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee will comply with Subsections 313(b) and 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 (d) A copy of each such report will, at the time of such transmission to Noteholders, be filed by the Indenture Trustee with each stock
exchange upon which the Notes are listed, and also with the Commission. The Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee when the Notes are admitted to trading on any stock exchange. 

Section 904. Meetings of Noteholders and Noteholder Consent; Amendments and Waivers. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee will call a meeting upon request of the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate Outstanding Dollar
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche. In any case, a meeting will be called after notice is given to such Noteholders pursuant to Section 105. 

(b) To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more
Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for the Noteholder or Noteholders of one or more Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche by the Noteholder or
Noteholders, and shall not be a Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of a Beneficiary. The only Person who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche shall be the Persons entitled to
vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Issuer and its counsel. 

(c) Except for any consent that must be given by the Holders of each Outstanding Note affected or any action to be taken by the Issuer as
holder of any Collateral Certificate, any resolution presented at any meeting at which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Majority Holders of that Series, Class or Tranche, as the case may be. Any resolution passed or
decision taken at any meeting of Noteholders duly held in accordance with this Indenture will be binding on all Noteholders of the affected Series, Class or Tranche. 

  
 77 








 (d) The quorum at any meeting will be persons holding or representing the Majority Holders of a
Series, Class or Tranche or all Notes, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at that meeting concerning an Action that may be taken by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in aggregate
Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of a Series, Class or Tranche, the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class
or Tranche or all Notes will constitute a quorum (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any
Beneficiary). 
 (e) Any Beneficiary, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, may make reasonable rules for other matters relating to Action
by or a meeting of Noteholders not otherwise covered by this Section, including but not limited to the location or locations for such meeting, the manner of voting at such meeting, the appointment and duties of inspectors of the vote, the submission
and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, the recording of the proceedings at such meeting, and the appointment of a chairperson for the meeting. 

(f) Any action that can be taken at a meeting of Noteholders may also be taken by written consent of the requisite percentage of Outstanding
Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or
any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary). Any resolution passed or decision taken by written consent in accordance with this Indenture will be binding on all Noteholders of the affected Series, Class or Tranche. 

(g) With respect to certain actions relating to any amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation with respect to any Collateral and
requiring the consent or direction of Noteholders holding a specified percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of any Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall request instructions from the Noteholders as to whether or not to consent
to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative Outstanding Dollar Principal Amounts of Notes
materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation) as the Notes, voting as a single class, were actually voted or not voted by the Noteholders thereof as of a date determined by the Indenture Trustee
prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required (such proportion to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent
of any Beneficiary); provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter unless such vote or consent would not (based on the advice of counsel) cause the Note Issuance Trust to be taxed as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Noteholders’ late return of, or failure to return,
directions requested by the Indenture Trustee from the Noteholders. 
 (h) The Noteholders may, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust as
holder of the Collateral Certificate, request the Master Trust Trustee to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Series Supplement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation at the
request, order or direction of the Investor Certificateholder. The Master Trust Trustee shall take such action with the consent of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or
Tranche (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any Affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary). 

  
 78 








 Section 905. Reports by Issuer to the Commission. The Issuer will: 

(a) file with the Indenture Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies
of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Issuer may be required to file with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act; or, if the Issuer is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said Sections, then it will file with the Indenture
Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; 

(b) following the Master Servicer’s receipt of a written request during any Due Period from a Noteholder or Note Owner seeking to
communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners regarding exercising their contractual rights under the terms of the transaction documents, cause the Depositor to include in the Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing for the Issuer related to
the Due Period in which such written request was received: (i) the name of the Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, delivering such request, (ii) the date the request was received, (iii) a statement to the effect that the Issuer
has in fact received such request from a Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, and that such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, is interested in communicating with other Noteholders or Note Owners with regard to the possible exercise of
rights under the transaction documents, and (iv) a description of the method that other Noteholders or Note Owners may use to contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Issuer receives a
request from any Note Owner that is not a record Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee shall verify that each such Note Owner is a Verified Note Owner and shall provide such evidence to the Issuer prior to the Issuer causing the Depositor to include any
request from such Note Owner in any Form 10-D; 
 (c) file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such
rules and regulations; 
 (d) transmit by mail to all Registered Noteholders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register, such
summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

 Section 1002. Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.

Terms Document) may also be amended from time to time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing an Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount aggregating not less than
66 2⁄3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes materially adversely affected, for purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders of any Class then outstanding; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall have received evidence that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche not entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of calculating whether a
66 2⁄3% consent has been achieved pursuant to this Section 1002, the applicable Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount shall be calculated without
taking into account the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount represented by any Note beneficially owned by any Beneficiary or any affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary, and neither any Beneficiary nor an affiliate or agent of any Beneficiary shall be
entitled to vote on any amendment pursuant to this Section 1002. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the forgoing, no such amendment of this
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement will, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby: 

(i) change the scheduled payment date of any payment of interest on any Note, or change an Expected Principal Payment Date,
Expected Maturity Date or Legal Maturity Date of any Note; 

  
 82 








 (ii) reduce the Stated Principal Amount of, or the interest rate on any Note, or

any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with the provisions of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or of
defaults hereunder or thereunder and their consequences, provided for in this Indenture or such Indenture Supplement;

provision, will be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Notes of any other Series, Class or Tranche. 

(e) It will not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
supplemental indenture, but it will be sufficient if such Act will approve the substance thereof. 

  
 83 








 Section 1003. Execution of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. In executing or
accepting the additional trusts created by any amendment of this Indenture or Indenture Supplement permitted by this Article X or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to
receive, and (subject to Section 801) will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all
conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Indenture Trustee may, but will not (except to the extent required in the case of an amendment or supplemental indenture entered into under Subsections 1001(e) or
1001(g)) be obligated to, enter into any such amendment or supplemental indenture which affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

Section 1004. Effect of Amendments and Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any amendment of this Indenture or any
Indenture Supplement and any supplemental indentures under this Article X, this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement will be modified in accordance therewith with respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes affected thereby,
or all Notes, as the case may be, and such amendment or supplemental indenture will form a part of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder will be bound thereby to the extent provided therein. 
 Section 1005. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every
amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article X will conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 

Section 1006. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
amendment of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article X may, and will if required by the Indenture Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such amendment or supplemental indenture. If the Issuer will so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such amendment or supplemental indenture may be prepared
and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
 Section 1007.
Amendments to the Trust Agreement. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of any
Notes or the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (at the written direction of the Beneficiary) and the Beneficiary, so long as the Beneficiary has received written confirmation from the applicable Note Rating Agencies that such amendment will not
cause a Rating Effect with respect to any outstanding Notes then issued by the Note Issuance Trust, may amend the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that such amendment will not significantly change the permitted activities of the
Note Issuance Trust; provided, further that as such amendment will not have a Material Adverse Effect and is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect at any time in the future. 

(b) The Trust Agreement may also be amended from time to time, by a written instrument executed by the Owner Trustee, at the written direction
of the Beneficiary, and the Beneficiary, with prior written notice to each Note Rating Agency, in the case of a significant change to the permitted activities of the Note Issuance Trust as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Trust
Agreement, with the consent of holders of a majority of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes affected by such change, voting as a single class; provided, however, that, without the consent of the
holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, no such amendment shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment. 

  
 84 








 Section 1008. Amendments to Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Other Actions Under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. 
 (a) The Issuer, as the Investor Certificateholder of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and
as the Holder of any Additional Collateral Certificate, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of each such Collateral Certificate to the extent provided in the applicable Series Supplement and Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. In the event that the Indenture Trustee receives a request from Discover Funding, the Master Servicer or the Master Trust Trustee with respect to any Master Trust for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to
any Collateral Certificate, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement, any Series Supplement or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with
respect to any Collateral Certificate, Series Supplement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall, as directed by the Beneficiary, mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each Holder
of Notes belonging to any Series, Class or Tranche, as applicable, materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall request instructions from the Noteholders as to whether or
not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Indenture Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative Outstanding Dollar Principal
Amounts of Notes materially adversely affected by such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation) as the Notes, voting as a single class, were actually voted or not voted by the Noteholders thereof as of a date determined by the
Indenture Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter unless such vote or consent would not (based on the advice of
counsel) cause the Note Issuance Trust to be taxed as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from
Noteholders’ late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Noteholders. For the avoidance of doubt, each Noteholder will be deemed to have consented to any amendment of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement to permit the Depositor, the Beneficiary or Discover Funding under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to maintain or establish sale accounting treatment under then-applicable financial accounting
standards, and the Noteholders will be treated as the beneficial owners of the applicable Collateral Certificates for all purposes in connection therewith, including for purposes of calculating whether the requisite consent percentage, if any, under
the applicable Pooling and 

  
 85

Trustee. 
 The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) for any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes to execute
and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
will: 
 (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of or interest on Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums will be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
 (b) if

Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche; 
 (c) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any
such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; 

(d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and, if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all

the Issuer or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every Series, Class or Tranche of Notes as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Issuer in respect of all Notes, such sums

further liability with respect to such money. 

  
 89 








 Any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer,
in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of any Series, Class or Tranche and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Issuer upon request in an
Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at
the expense of the Issuer give to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as provided in Section 105, a notice that such funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified in the notice, which
will not be less than thirty (30) days from the date on which the notice was first mailed or published to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining will be
paid to the Issuer free of the trust formerly impressed upon it. 
 Each Paying Agent will at all times have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by a United States federal or state authority or be regulated by or subject to the supervision or examination of a governmental authority of a nation that is a member of the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. If such Paying Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Paying Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition as so published. 

Section 1105. Statement as to Compliance. The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Rating Agencies, on or
before the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to each of the Note Issuance Trust’s Annual Report Date or Transition Report Date, as applicable, or such other date that is mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto (and

performance under this Indenture and under the terms of the Notes has been made under such Issuer Authorized Officer’s supervision; and 

(b) to the best of such Issuer Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied in all material respects
with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout the previous fiscal year or transition period, as applicable, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant (without regard to any grace period
or requirement of notice), specifying each such default known to such Issuer Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence.

written notice of each Event of Default hereunder and each breach on the part of any Master Trust or the Depositor of their respective obligations under the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and any default of a Derivative Counterparty, a
Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or a Supplemental Liquidity Provider.

Issuer will not: 
 (a) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other
than amounts withheld in good faith from such payments under the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law including foreign withholding); 

(b) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee created by

advantage of any bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership, insolvency, or similar laws or (B) for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, or similar official for or relating to such Depositor or all or substantially

of its obligations; or

to but excluding the date of repayment, the payment of which will be subject to the cash flow and subordination provisions of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. 

If the Issuer is unable to pay the repayment price in full on the Principal Payment Date following the end of the Due Period in which the
Early Redemption Event occurs, monthly payments on such Tranche of Notes will thereafter be made for so long as such Early Redemption Event is continuing, subject to the cash flow provisions and to the extent permitted


  
 96 








 
under the applicable subordination provisions of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement, on each following Principal Payment Date until the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of
such Series, Class or Tranche, plus all accrued, past due and additional interest, is paid in full or until the Legal Maturity Date occurs, whichever is earlier. Any funds in any Issuer Accounts for a repaid Tranche will be applied to make
the principal and interest payments on that Tranche on the repayment date, subject to the subordination and cash flow provisions of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. 

Section 1202. Cleanup Call. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement for a Series, Class or Tranche of
Notes, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes in whole but not in part on any day on or after the day on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount (after
giving effect to all payments, if any, on that day) of such Series, Class or Tranche is reduced to less than 5% (or such other percentage as shall be specified from time to time by such servicer or any Affiliate thereof, consistent with sale
treatment under GAAP and regulatory accounting principles) of the highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount for such Series, Class or Tranche at any time since the issuance thereof; provided, however, that if such Class or Tranche of Notes
to be redeemed is a Subordinated Class or a Tranche of Subordinated Notes, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof will not have the right to redeem such Notes if the provisions of the related Indenture Supplement would prevent the payment of such
Subordinated Notes until a level of prefunding of the applicable Issuer Accounts for the Senior Classes of Notes for that Series has been reached and such level has not been reached.

into the Principal Funding Account (or the applicable Subaccount or Subaccounts thereof) for the Notes to be redeemed.

rate determined in accordance with the Indenture Supplement if such Notes are not Dollar Notes), plus all accrued and unpaid interest, is paid in full or the Legal Maturity Date occurs, whichever is earlier, subject to Article V and
the cash flow and subordination provisions of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. Any funds in any Issuer Accounts for a redeemed Tranche will be applied to make the principal and interest payments on that Tranche on the redemption
date in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement. Principal payments on redeemed Tranches will be made in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement.

prior to all other liens in respect of the Collateral. Subject to Section 1303, the Issuer will take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain a perfected lien on and security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture
Trustee to the extent such security interests may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the applicable UCC. The Issuer will from time to time execute, authorize and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, amendments thereto, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to: 

(i) grant a Security Interest more effectively in all or any portion of the Collateral; 

(ii) maintain or preserve the Security Interest (and the priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more
effectively the purposes hereof; 
 (iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made
by this Indenture;

all persons and parties; or 
 (vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Collateral when due.

 (c) Without limiting the generality of clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii): 

(i) The Issuer will cause this Indenture, all amendments and supplements hereto and all financing statements and amendments
thereto and any other necessary documents covering the Indenture Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such
manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee in and to all property comprising the Collateral. The Issuer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee file-stamped
copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. 

(ii) Within 30 days after the Issuer makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any
financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 (or any comparable provision) of the UCC, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee notice of
any such change and will file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Collateral. 

(d) The Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt notice of any relocation of its state of location, and any change in the jurisdiction of
its organization, and whether, as a result of such relocation or change, the applicable provision of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and
will file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer will at all times maintain its chief executive office
within the United States (which will at all times be the Wilmington, Delaware office of the Owner Trustee). 
 (e) The duty of the Indenture
Trustee to execute or authorize any instrument required pursuant to this Section 1302 will arise only if the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of any default of the Issuer in complying with the provisions of this
Section 1302. 
 (f) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file such financing statements, including
continuation statements or other instruments, in such jurisdictions and containing such collateral descriptions (including, without limitation, the words “All of the Debtor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all assets of the
Debtor wherever located and all related underlying instruments and all proceeds thereof, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence” or words of similar effect) as the
Indenture Trustee deems necessary or appropriate and shall take such other action as may be necessary to secure the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee. 

Section 1303. Trust Indenture Act Requirements. The release of any Collateral from the lien created by this Indenture or the
release, in whole or in part, of the liens on all Collateral, will not be deemed to impair the Security Interest in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral or liens are released pursuant to the terms hereof. 

  
 100 








 The Indenture Trustee and each of the Noteholders are hereby deemed to acknowledge that a release
of Collateral securing Notes or liens strictly in accordance with the terms hereof will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the remaining Security Interests in contravention of the terms of this Indenture. To the extent applicable,
without limitation, the Issuer will cause Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act relating to the release of property or securities from the liens hereof to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the
Trust Indenture Act may be made by an Issuer Authorized Officer, except in cases in which Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person. 

Section 1304. Suits To Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will have power
to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Indenture Trustee
may deem expedient to preserve or protect the interests of the Noteholders and the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with
any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Security Interest or be prejudicial to the
interests of the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee). No counterparties to a Derivative Agreement, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement or Supplemental Liquidity Agreement may direct the Indenture Trustee to enforce the Security Interest.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, each Derivative Counterparty’s, Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider’s and Supplemental Liquidity Provider’s rights consist solely of the right to receive Finance
Charge Amounts or Principal Amounts, as applicable, allocated for such party’s benefit pursuant to the related Indenture Supplement. 

Section 1305. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Indenture Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver
or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XIII upon the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or
trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this
Article XIII. 
 Section 1306. Release of all Collateral. 

(a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 806 of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the
request of the Issuer or when otherwise required by the provisions of this Indenture, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest (which is held by the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit of the Noteholders) in the same, in a manner and under circumstances which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this
Article XIII will be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds. 

  
 101 








 (b) Upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Issuer’s obligations
under this Indenture have been satisfied and discharged by complying with the provisions of this Article XIII, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) execute and deliver such releases, termination statements and other instruments (in
recordable form, where appropriate) as the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, may reasonably request evidencing the termination of the Security Interest created by this Indenture and (ii) not be deemed to hold the Security Interest for
the benefit of itself, the Noteholders, any applicable Derivative Counterparty, any applicable Supplemental Credit Enhancement Provider or any applicable Supplemental Liquidity Provider. 

(c) The Beneficiary, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall be entitled to receive at least 10 days’ written notice when the Indenture
Trustee proposes to take any action pursuant to clause (a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also be entitled to require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, stating the legal
effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent
investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action. 

Section 1307. Opinions as to Collateral. On or before that date that is fifteen (15) days before each of the Note Issuance
Trust’s Annual Report Date or Transition Report Date, as applicable, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to each UCC financing statement which has been filed by the Issuer with respect to the
Collateral either stating that, (i) in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, such financing statements and amendments thereto as are necessary
to maintain the Security Interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or (ii) in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Security Interest. Such Opinion of Counsel will also
describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture or such financing statements and amendments thereto that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the Security Interest created by this Indenture until
the Note Issuance Trust’s next Annual Report Date or Transition Report Date, as applicable. 
 Section 1308. Certain Commercial
Law Representations and Warranties. The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties. Such representations and warranties shall survive until the termination of this Indenture. Such representations and warranties speak as of
the date that a security interest in the Collateral is granted to the Indenture Trustee but shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Indenture unless each applicable Note Rating Agency shall have been notified of any intended waiver and the
Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to each Note Rating Agency other than Moody’s.

creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers
from the Issuer, except as the same may be limited by receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles.

intangible,” an “instrument,” a “certificated security,” a “deposit account” or a “security entitlement” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the now-existing Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture.

include a description of collateral covering the Collateral, other than any financing statement that has been terminated.

is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it. 
 (f) At the time of its grant of any security interest in the now-existing
Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer owned and had good and marketable title to such Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. 

(g) The Issuer has caused the Indenture Trustee to be registered as the registered owner of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate. 

(h) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold,
granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed, the related Collateral. 
 Section 1309. Addition of Assets.

pools of credit card receivables) which are pledged under this Indenture concurrently with such transfer pursuant to an Assignment of Additional Assets. 

(b) The Note Issuance Trust shall be permitted to accept such Additional Collateral Certificates (or, if applicable, interests in pools of
credit card receivables) and to include such assets as Collateral for the Notes if the following conditions are satisfied:
