	 	(i)	the Issuance Date of such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes; 

  

	 	(ii)	the amount of such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes being offered and the resulting Initial Dollar Principal Amount and Stated Principal Amount of Class A(2013-3)
Notes; 

  

	 	(iii)	the date from which interest on such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes will accrue (which may be a date prior to the date of issuance thereof); 

 

	 	(iv)	the first Interest Payment Date on which interest will be paid on such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes; and 

 

	 	(v)	any other terms that the Issuer set forth in such notice of issuance of additional Class A(2013-3) Notes to clarify the rights of Holders of such additional Class
A(2013-3) Notes or the effect of such issuance of additional Class A(2013-3) Notes on any calculations to be made with respect to the Class A(2013-3) Notes, Class A, or the Issuer. 

All such terms shall be incorporated into and form a part of this Terms Document on and after the effective date of such Class A(2013-3) Notes;

 (b) no Class A(2013-3) Adverse Event has occurred and is continuing; and 

(c) either (i) the issuance of such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes would be treated as part of the same issue as the outstanding
Class A(2013-3) Notes under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1275-1(f)(1) or 1.1275-2(k), or (ii) such additional Class A(2013-3) Notes are not issued with “original issue discount” for purposes of Section 1273 of the Code.

 The Issuer shall not have to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 310 of the Indenture in connection with an
issuance of additional Class A(2013-3) Notes so long as such conditions were satisfied or waived in connection with the initial issuance of Class A(2013-3) Notes; 

  
 11 

 
provided, however, that the Issuer shall have to deliver to the Indenture Trustee a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such issuance. 

Section 2.10 Designation of Additional Amounts to be included in the Excess Spread Amount for the DiscoverSeries Notes. At
any time that any outstanding Series of certificates issued by the Master Trust provides that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be deposited into the Group Finance Charge Collections Reallocation Account for the Master
Trust to the extent necessary for application to cover shortfalls for other Series issued by the Master Trust, an amount equal to (x) all Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Nominal Liquidation Amounts for each outstanding Tranche of the DiscoverSeries Notes (including the Class A(2013-3) Notes) and the denominator of which is (i) the Aggregate Investor Interest for the Master
Trust minus (ii) the sum of the Series Investor Interests for all such Series that provide that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be so deposited, is hereby designated to be included in the Excess Spread
Amount and shall be treated as Series Finance Charge Amounts for the DiscoverSeries. 
 Section 2.11 Variable
Accumulation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.02 of the Indenture Supplement, the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, delay the commencement of the
Accumulation Period for the Class A(2013-3) Notes and determine a new Accumulation Commencement Date, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period shall commence no
later than the first day of the Due Period related to the Expected Maturity Date for the Class A(2013-3) Notes. Any such delay by the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall be made no later than the first day of the scheduled Due Period
immediately preceding the first Due Period in the Accumulation Period (after giving effect to any prior delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.11). 

The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall cause such delay if the Calculation Agent determines in good faith that each of the
following conditions will be satisfied: (i) the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer reasonably believes that, based on the
payment rate and the anticipated availability of Series Principal Amounts and Reallocated Principal Amounts, the delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class A(2013-3) Notes will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being
paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date; (ii) such delay is permitted under the Series 2007-CC Series Supplement or any other applicable agreement relating to any Additional Collateral Certificate; and (iii) the Accumulation
Amount, the Accumulation Commencement Date and the Accumulation Period Length shall have been adjusted. The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall not be required to obtain confirmation from the applicable Note Rating Agencies that such
delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period will not result in a Ratings Effect for any Tranche of Outstanding DiscoverSeries Notes, unless at the time of such delay there is a Tranche of Outstanding DiscoverSeries Notes, which were issued
prior to January 1, 2009 and for which the commencement of the Accumulation Period for such Tranche of Notes has already been delayed pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Indenture Supplement. If such confirmation from the applicable Note
Rating Agency is not required, the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall provide written notice to each applicable Note Rating Agency in the event that the 

  
 12 

 
commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class A(2013-3) Notes is delayed pursuant to this Section 2.11. 
 Section 2.12 Permitted Investments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Class A(2013-3) Notes, for purposes of
the definition of Permitted Investment, “Highest Rating” shall mean, with respect to Standard & Poor’s: 

(a) A-1 or AAA for funds on deposit in all Issuer Accounts other than Principal Funding Accounts; 

(b) A-1+ or AAA for funds on deposit in Principal Funding Accounts; or 

(c) any rating category which will not cause a reduction in or withdrawal of the rating of the Class A(2013-3) Notes, as confirmed in
writing by Standard & Poor’s.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A(2013-3) DiscoverSeries Notes
(herein called the “Class A(2013-3) Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of July 26, 2007, as amended by the First Amendment to Indenture, dated as of June 4, 2010 (such Indenture, as may be further amended,
restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by an Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement for the DiscoverSeries Notes, dated
as of June 4, 2010 (such Indenture Supplement, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture Supplement”), between the
Issuer and Indenture Trustee, to which Indenture and Indenture Supplement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class
A(2013-3) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. All terms used in this Class A(2013-3) Note that are defined in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. 
 The Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes of the DiscoverSeries and other tranches of Class A Notes of the DiscoverSeries will also be issued under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 

The Class A(2013-3) Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 
 Principal of the Class A(2013-3) Notes will be payable on the Expected Maturity Date
in an amount described on the face hereof except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement. 
 As
described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A(2013-3) Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A(2013-3) Notes shall be due and
payable on the date on which an Event of Default relating to the Class A(2013-3) Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and, except in the event of an insolvency related default, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders of the applicable
Series, Class or Tranche of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes have declared the Class A(2013-3) Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 702 of the Indenture; provided,
however, that such acceleration of the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be rescinded by the Majority Holders of such applicable Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. 

On any day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Tranche of Notes is reduced to less
than 5% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem such Tranche of Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to Section 1202 of the
Indenture. The redemption price will be an amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of
redemption. 

  
 5 

 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Beneficiary, on behalf of the Note
Issuance Trust, may from time to time issue, or direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, to issue, one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes. 
 On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Holder of Class A(2013-3) Notes of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution with respect to this Class A(2013-3)
Note) such Holder’s pro rata share of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes. 

Payments of interest on this Class A(2013-3) Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with any installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A(2013-3) Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class A(2013-3) Note on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record
Date, except that with respect to Class A(2013-3) Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the clearing agency (initially, such nominee to be CEDE & CO.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class
A(2013-3) Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A(2013-3) Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class A(2013-3) Note and of any Class A(2013-3) Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture,
for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A(2013-3) Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as
of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed within five days of such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A(2013-3) Note at the Indenture
Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the City of New York. On any payment of interest or principal being made, details of such payment shall be
entered by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule A hereto. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein and as set forth in the first legend on the face hereof, the transfer of this Class A(2013-3) Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A(2013-3) Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or a member firm of a
national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Class A(2013-3) Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A(2013-3) Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum 

  
 6 

 
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A(2013-3) Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A(2013-3) Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as
a depositor with respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer, any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as a depositor with respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer of, any receivership,
insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, any Derivative Agreement, any
Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement and any Supplemental Liquidity Agreement. 
 Prior to the due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Class A(2013-3) Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class A(2013-3) Note (as of the day of determination or as of such
other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class A(2013-3) Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal
Amount of each adversely affected Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class A(2013-3) Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A(2013-3) Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Class A(2013-3) Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Class A(2013-3) Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the
Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture. 
 The Class A(2013-3) Notes are issuable only in registered
form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 

  
 7 

 THIS CLASS A(2013-3) NOTE AND THE 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. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A(2013-3) Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A(2013-3) Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under the Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director or employee of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or any successor or assign of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its individual capacity). The Holder of this Class A(2013-3) Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Indenture and the Indenture
Supplement in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A(2013-3) Note.

 Exhibit 10.3 
 First Potomac Realty Trust 
 Summary of Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Program 
 On April 2, 2013, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of
Trustees of First Potomac Realty Trust (the “Company”) adopted a new program for granting long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers and certain other senior officers (the “LTI Program”). In
addition, the Compensation Committee set the specific target amounts and performance metrics for the long-term incentive awards for the executive and senior officers for the 2013 plan year. Such awards are expected to be made in the first quarter of
2014. Awards under the new LTI Program are intended to closely align the interests of the Company’s executive and senior officers with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and promote executive officer retention. 

Under the LTI Program, for each fiscal year covered by the program, participants’ annual long-term incentive awards will be broken
into two parts, each of which will be made in the first quarter of the following fiscal year (with the first award under the LTI Program scheduled to be made in the first quarter of 2014): (i) 40% of the award will be fixed based on the
aggregate target amount of the award; and (ii) the balance of the award will be determined based on performance metrics set annually by the Compensation Committee. Once awarded (upon achieving the performance metrics, if applicable), the
long-term incentive awards will be made in the form of restricted common shares that vest in equal installments over a three-year period. Dividends will be paid on all awarded but unvested shares. The number of shares awarded to each individual will
be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the award by the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the grant. 
 The performance metrics used for the LTI Program, and the levels of performance (threshold, target and stretch) required to be achieved for participants in the program, will be set by the Compensation
Committee annually (in the first quarter of each applicable year). For the 2013 plan year (which awards will be made in the first quarter of 2014), performance will be measured over a one-year period. For the 2014 plan year (which awards will be
made in the first quarter of 2015), performance will be measured over a two-year period. For all subsequent years, performance will be measured over a three-year period. 
 At the same time that the performance metrics and levels are set by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee will review and establish the aggregate amount of the target long-term incentive
award under the LTI Program for each of the executive and senior officers for the coming year. For the 2013 plan year, the Compensation Committee approved the following amounts for the long-term incentive awards (which awards will be made in the
first quarter of 2014):

 For the 2013 plan year, the number of restricted common shares granted pursuant to the
performance component of the annual award will be determined based on achievement of the following performance metrics in the 2013 fiscal year: 
  

																	
	 Performance Metrics
	 	Award
Weighting	 	 	Threshold	 	 	Target	 	 	Stretch	 
	 Relative Shareholder Return – Total Shareholder Return(1) vs. the Morgan Stanley REIT Index
(“RMS”)
	 	 	50	% 	 	 	-300	 bps 	 	  
	 0
	  bps 
	 	 	+300	 bps 
	 Absolute Total Shareholder Return(1)
	 	 	50	% 	 	 	7.00	% 	 	 	10.00	% 	 	 	13.00	% 
	 Percent of Performance Portion of Award Earned
	 				 	 	50	% 	 	 	100	% 	 	 	150	% 

  

	(1) 	 Total shareholder return is calculated as (i) the sum of (a) the cumulative amount of dividends paid per share over the measurement period, assuming
the reinvestment of dividends in common shares of the Company, and (b) an amount equal to (x) the closing common share price on the last trading day of the measurement period, minus (y) the closing common share price on the first trading day of the
measurement period, divided by (ii) the closing common share price on the first trading day of the measurement period. 

 If the performance level is between two of these identified levels of performance (i.e., between threshold and target or between target and stretch), the actual amount of the award that is earned will be
“interpolated” using the two identified levels of performance. 
 The Company believes that relative shareholder
return and absolute total shareholder return are appropriate metrics to use for rewarding long-term performance. The relative shareholder return metric reflects how well the Company has performed for its shareholders as compared to the RMS, which is
a widely used and accepted index that reflects the performance of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) sector as a whole. Absolute total shareholder return measures value created for the Company’s shareholders regardless
of the performance of the REIT sector as a whole. 
 All restricted common shares issued under the LTI Program will be granted
under the Company’s 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended.
