any Class C Tranche Interest Allocation Shortfall for such Class C( - ) Notes for the immediately preceding Distribution Date, together with interest thereon at the Note Interest Rate in effect with respect to such related Interest Accrual Period, calculated on the basis of [the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period] [twelve 30-day months] and a 360-day year.]

Section 2.04 [Determination of Benchmark; Effect of Benchmark Transition Event].

(a) [The initial Benchmark will be the SOFR Rate. For purposes of determining the interest rate applicable to the Notes for each Interest Accrual Period, SOFR Rate will be determined two U.S. Government Securities Business Days before that Interest Accrual Period begins.]

(b) [If the sum of SOFR Rate plus [●]% for such Interest Accrual Period is less than 0.00%, then the interest rate for the Class A( - ) Notes for such Interest Accrual Period shall be deemed to be 0.00%. The [Calculation Agent] will have the right, in its sole discretion, to make applicable SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes.]

(c) [SOFR Rate applicable to the then current and immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period may be obtained by telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office or any other telephone number designated by the Indenture Trustee.]

(d) [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the [Calculation Agent] determines prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the determination of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement determined by the [Calculation Agent] will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Class A( - ) Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all such determinations on all subsequent dates.]

(e) [The [Calculation Agent] will deliver written notice to each hired agency, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent on any SOFR Adjustment Date if, as of the applicable Reference Time, the [Calculation Agent] has determined with respect to the related Interest Accrual Period that there will be a change in the SOFR Rate or the terms related thereto since the immediately preceding SOFR Adjustment Date due to a determination by the [Calculation Agent] that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred.]

(f) [The [Calculation Agent] will have the right to make SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes and, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, from time to time.]

(g) [Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the [Calculation Agent] or any other person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change or a Benchmark Replacement as described above, including any determination with respect to administrative feasibility (whether due to technical, administrative or operational issues), a tenor, rate, an adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the [Calculation Agent]’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the transaction documents, will become effective without the consent of any other person (including any Noteholder). The holders of the Class A( - ) Notes will not have any right to approve or disapprove of these changes and will be deemed to have agreed to waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the transaction documents, none of the issuing entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer will have any liability for any action or inaction taken or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any Benchmark, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing. Each Noteholder and Note owner, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, will be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the sponsor, the depositor and the servicer relating to any such determinations.]

(h) [For the avoidance of doubt: (a) in no event will (i) the [Calculation Agent] be responsible for determining the SOFR Rate or any substitute for SOFR if such rate does not appear on the FRBNY’s Website or on a comparable system as is customarily used to quote SOFR or such substitute for SOFR, (ii) the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee be responsible for determining the SOFR Rate or any substitute for SOFR or (iii) the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee be responsible for making any decision or election in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement as described above, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event and (b) in connection with any of the matters referenced in clause (a) of this sentence, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the [Calculation Agent] (on behalf of the issuing entity), as applicable, in regards to such matters and will have no liability for such actions taken at the direction of the [Calculation Agent] (on behalf of the issuing entity).]

(i) [The Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Owner Trustee will be under no obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the availability, unavailability or cessation of SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.]

(j) [The Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee will not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in the Indenture and the other transaction documents as a result of the unavailability of SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and the absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation, the Servicer or the [Calculation Agent] (on behalf of the Issuer), in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of the Indenture and the other transaction documents and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.]

Section 2.05 Payments of Interest and Principal.

(a) [The Issuer will cause interest to be paid on each Interest Payment Date and principal to be paid on the Expected Maturity Date; provided, however, that it shall not be an Event of Default if principal is not paid in full on such Expected Maturity Date unless funds for such payment have been allocated in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture Supplement; and

provided, further, that if a Class C( - ) Adverse Event has occurred and is continuing, principal will instead be payable in monthly installments on each Principal Payment Date for the Class C( - ) Notes in accordance with Sections 3.01 and 3.05 of the Indenture Supplement. All payments of interest and principal on the Class C( - ) Notes shall be made as set forth in Section 1102 of the Indenture.]

Section 2.08 [Targeted Deposits to the Accumulation Reserve Account]. The deposit targeted to be made to the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class C( - ) Notes for any Due Period during the Accumulation Reserve Funding Period will be an amount equal to the Targeted Accumulation Reserve Subaccount Deposit minus any amount on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Subaccount for the Class C( - ) Notes.]

Section 2.09 Additional Issuances of Notes. Subject to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 2.02 and Section 2.03 of the Indenture Supplement, the Issuer may issue additional Class C( - ) Notes, so long as the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

(a) the Issuer shall have given the Indenture Trustee written notice of such issuance of additional Class C( - ) Notes (the “Notice of Additional Issuance”) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Issuance Date thereof, which notice shall include:

the Issuance Date of such additional Class C( - ) Notes;

(ii)

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

(iv)

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

(v)

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

(b) no Class C( - ) Adverse Event has occurred and is continuing; and

(c) [either (i) the issuance of such additional Class C( - ) Notes would be treated as part of the same issue as the outstanding Class C( - ) Notes under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1275-1(f)(1) or 1.1275-2(k) or (ii) such additional Class C( - ) 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 C( - ) Notes so long as such conditions were satisfied or waived in connection with the initial issuance of Class C( - ) Notes; 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 C( - ) 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 C( - ) 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 C( - ) Notes. To the extent that the Calculation Agent has previously delayed the commencement of the Accumulation Commencement Date pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Calculation Agent may subsequently accelerate the commencement of the Accumulation Commencement Date, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.11. Any adjustments by the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer to the Accumulation Commencement Date shall be made no later than the earlier to occur of (x) the first day of the initial Due Period of the proposed Accumulation Period (after giving effect to the current adjustment and all prior adjustments to the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.11) and (y) the last day of the Due Period immediately preceding the first Due Period of the currently scheduled Accumulation Period (after giving effect to any prior adjustments in the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.11).

The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall cause any such adjustment 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, (x) the adjustment to the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class C( - ) Notes will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date (as defined in the applicable Terms Document) and, (y) if such adjustment is an acceleration of the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class C( - ) Notes, the resulting Accumulation Period for the Class C( - ) Notes is the shortest Accumulation Period for the Class C( - ) Notes that will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date (as defined in the applicable Terms Document); (ii) such adjustment is permitted under the Series 2007-CC 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 any such adjustment in the commencement of the Accumulation Period will not result in a Ratings Effect for any Tranche of Outstanding DiscoverSeries Notes. The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall provide written notice to each applicable Note Rating Agency in the event that the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class C( - ) Notes is adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12 Seller’s Interest to Be Included in the Monthly Statement. The Issuer shall cause the Master Servicer to include the amount of the Seller’s Interest as of the Seller’s Interest Measurement Date on each investor certificateholder’s monthly statement delivered pursuant to the Series 2007-CC Supplement.

Section 2.13 Duties of the Indenture Trustee.

that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall alter the Indenture Trustee’s duties, obligations or standard of care as set forth in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.
