Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the LIBOR Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of LIBOR (or other applicable benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Issuer or the Calculation Agent, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

This Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C(2020-3) DiscoverSeries Notes (herein called the “Class C(2020-3) Notes”), all issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of December 22, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Master Indenture and Amendment No. 1 to Indenture Supplement, dated as of August 27, 2019 (such Indenture, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture”), as supplemented by a Second Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement for the DiscoverSeries Notes, dated as of December 22, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Master Indenture and Amendment No. 1 to Indenture Supplement, dated as of August 27, 2019 (such Indenture Supplement, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture Supplement”), between the Issuer and Indenture Trustee, to which Indenture and Indenture Supplement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class C(2020-3) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. All terms used in this Class C(2020-3) 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 A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes of the DiscoverSeries and other tranches of Class C Notes of the DiscoverSeries will also be issued under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement.

The Class C(2020-3) 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.

The Class C(2020-3) Notes are subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes and provide loss protection to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes of the DiscoverSeries, to the extent set forth in the Indenture Supplement.

The Stated Principal Amount of the Class C(2020-3) 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 Stated Principal Amount of this Class C(2020-3) Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class C(2020-3) Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default relating to the Class C(2020-3) 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 C(2020-

The redemption price will be an amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest, if any, or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of redemption.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class C(2020-3) Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C(2020-3) Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C(2020-3) 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 C(2020-3) 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 C(2020-3) 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 C(2020-3) Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
