23
sold, which shall equal the Nominal Liquidation Amount of each affected series, class or Tranche, as applicable, plus accrued interest thereon multiplied by the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate Percentage (the “Receivables Sale Amount”). Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the Receivables Sale Amount shall be sold on behalf of the Trust by an institution acceptable to the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer that is either (i) a nationally recognized investment bank, (ii) a nationally recognized commercial bank or (iii) any other institution whose regular business includes the sale of receivables similar to the Receivables in the Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of Receivables sold hereunder with respect to any series, class or Tranche, as applicable, exceed the product of (A) the aggregate amount of Receivables in the Trust and (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such series, class or Tranche, as applicable, and the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate Percentage, and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Investor Interest, in each case, as of the close of business on the last day of the Due Period immediately preceding the month in which such Receivables sale occurs; and provided, further, the Receivables selected to be sold hereunder shall not be materially different from the Receivables remaining in the Trust as of such selection date and shall be selected at random from the Receivables. The proceeds (the “Receivables Sale Proceeds”) therefrom shall be paid to the Trust and immediately deposited into the Series Distribution Account and paid to the Indenture Trustee immediately following such deposit. Such payment shall be deemed to be the final distribution with respect to the affected Tranche. No Originator and no affiliate or agent of any Originator shall be permitted to bid for or purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 12(b); provided, however, that an affiliate or agent of any Originator may act as selling institution for the sale as specified in the first sentence of this Section 12(b), so long as such affiliate or agent does not act as principal in connection with such sale.
SECTION 13. Ratification of Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As supplemented and amended by this Series Supplement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read, taken, and construed as one and the same instrument.
SECTION 14. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 15. Governing Law. This Series Supplement and all disputes arising out of or relating to it shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions that would result in the application of the law of any state other than New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
SECTION 16. Intention of Parties. The parties intend the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of Receivables, Interchange and all proceeds thereof in connection herewith to be a sale of financial assets in connection with a securitization and an absolute transfer for all purposes (unless otherwise required under applicable law). The parties intend the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of Receivables in connection herewith to be treated as a sale for accounting purposes.
24
SECTION 17. Amendment for Sale Accounting Purposes. If the Transferor determines that (i) an amendment to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is necessary or desirable for such Transferor to maintain or establish sale accounting treatment under then-applicable financial accounting standards, and (ii) the Transferor cannot enter into such amendment pursuant to Section 13.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without obtaining the consent of a specified percentage of Investor Certificateholders, then the Master Servicer, the Transferor, the Trustee and the Servicers may nonetheless enter into such amendment without obtaining the consent of any Certificateholder of any Investor Certificates of this Series so long as the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied.
Any such amendment may include, without limitation, any changes necessary to convert the Trust from a “one-tier” securitization structure to a “two-tier” securitization structure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Investor Certificateholder that acquires an Investor Certificate of this Series will be deemed to have consented to any such amendment for all purposes, including for purposes of calculating whether the requisite consent percentage, if any, under Section 13.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been received for any amendment that requires such consent because of the lack of provisions comparable to this Section 17 in the Series Supplements for other Series then outstanding (except that Investor Certificates beneficially owned by the Transferor or any affiliate or agent of the Transferor will not be included in any such calculation).
SECTION 18. Election Under Delaware Asset-Backed Securities Facilitation Act. Without limiting any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or this Series Supplement, the parties hereto agree that (a) the transactions contemplated hereby constitute a “securitization transaction” and (b) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, including without limitation, the Asset-Backed Securities Facilitation Act Delaware Code An. tit. 6, § 2701 A et seq: (1) all right, title and interest to the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds of such Receivables and all Interchange (the “Transferred Assets”), which have been transferred to the Trust in connection with the securitization transactions contemplated herein, shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of the Transferor; (2) the Transferor, its creditors or, in any insolvency proceeding with respect to the Transferor or the Transferor’s property, a bankruptcy trustee, receiver, debtor, debtor in possession or similar person, shall have no rights, legal or equitable, whatsoever to reacquire, reclaim, recover, repudiate, disaffirm, redeem or recharacterize as property of the Transferor any of the Transferred Assets; and (3) in the event of a bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Transferor or the Transferor’s property, such Transferred Assets shall not be deemed to be part of the Transferor’s property, assets, rights or estate.
SECTION 19. Increases to Series Investor Interest. In connection with any issuance of Notes, Discover Funding shall transfer to the Note Issuance Trust an additional fractional undivided interest in the assets of the Trust as represented by an increase in the Series Investor Interest for the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate from time to time, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below:
(a) The Calculation Agent shall have notified Discover Funding, as Holder of the Transferor Certificate, of the issuance of such Notes and Discover Funding shall have
25
notified the Calculation Agent of its intention to transfer to the Note Issuance Trust an additional fractional undivided interest in the assets of the Trust as represented by an increase in the Series Investor Interest in 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 the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, as determined by Discover Funding as beneficiary of the Note Issuance Trust;
(b) Discover Funding, as Holder of the Transferor Certificate, shall have received an amount equal to (i) the issuance proceeds received by the Note Issuance Trust in connection with the corresponding issuance of Notes, multiplied by the percentage of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Notes to be allocated to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, minus (ii) the sum of (x) any issuance expenses relating to such notes multiplied by the percentage of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Notes to be allocated to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and (y) any amounts required to be retained in any reserve account or subaccount for the Note Issuance Trust in connection with such issuance of Notes, multiplied by the percentage of the Nominal Liquidation Amount of such Notes to be allocated to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate;
(c) Discover Funding, as Holder of the Transferor Certificate, shall have notified the Trustee, in writing, at least one business day in advance of the date upon which the Series Investor Interest is to be increased, which notice shall state the amount of such increase in the Series Investor Interest;

(e) Discover Funding, as Holder of the Transferor Certificate, shall not be required to designate Additional Accounts or convey a Participation interest to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as a result of such increase.
Upon any increase in the Series Investor Interest the Trustee shall make appropriate entries in the certificate registrar for the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate in the amount of the increase.
SECTION 20. Amendments for Additional Collateral Certificates. Concurrently with the effectiveness of any documents relating to the assignment of any Additional Collateral Certificates (or, if applicable, direct interests in pools of credit card receivables) to the Note Issuance Trust, the parties hereto may amend this agreement without notice to or the consent of any Investor Certificateholder (or the holders of any series, class or Tranche of Notes then outstanding) to the extent necessary to reflect any changes in the definitions of “Series Excess Spread” and “Series Investor Interest” set forth herein, and to otherwise reflect any allocations or other provision with respect to the Notes or such Additional Collateral Certificates (or, if applicable, direct interests in pools of credit card receivables) subject to the condition that Discover Funding as Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall have been notified by the Rating Agencies that such amendment would not result in the lowering or withdrawal of the rating below the Required Rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding.
26
SECTION 21. Dispute Resolution.
(a) If a Person, including any Certificateholder or a Verified Note Owner, makes a request to Discover Funding to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Requesting Party”) and such repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved within 180 days of the related Receivable Repurchase Event, the Requesting Party will have the right to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration pursuant to this Section 21; provided, however, that any such referral shall be made within 90 days of the delivery of the monthly statement following the end of such 180 day period.
(b) The Requesting Party will provide notice through DTC communication procedures or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of its intention to refer the matter to mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or arbitration, as applicable, to Discover Funding. Discover Funding agrees to the resolution method selected by the Requesting Party. Discover Funding shall provide notice to Discover Bank, the Note Issuance Trust, the Trustee and the Indenture Trustee that Discover Funding has received a request to mediate or arbitrate a repurchase request.
(c) If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:
(i) The mediation will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or, if the AAA no longer exists, another nationally recognized mediation organization selected by the Master Servicer, pursuant to such association’s mediation procedures in effect at such time.
(ii) The fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.
(iii) The mediator will be appointed from a roster of neutrals maintained by the AAA and must be an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters.
(d) If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the following provisions will apply:
(i) The arbitration will be administered by the AAA or, if the AAA no longer exists, another nationally recognized arbitration organization selected by the Master Servicer, and conducted pursuant to such association’s arbitration procedures in effect at such time.
(ii) The arbitrator will be appointed from a roster of neutrals maintained by AAA and must be an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters.
27
(iii) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than 90 days after appointment or as soon as practicable thereafter. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and may not modify or change this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by it, and Discover Funding shall not be required to pay more than the amount required under Section 2.07 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement plus any fees and expenses related to the arbitration with respect to any Receivable which such Requested Party is required to repurchase under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The determination will be final and non-appealable absent manifest error and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(iv) By selecting arbitration, the Requesting Party is waiving the right to xxx in court, including the right to a trial by jury.
(v) No person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration.
(e) The following provisions will apply to both mediations and arbitrations:
(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York or such other location mutually agreed to by the Requesting Party and Discover Funding;
(ii) Notwithstanding this dispute resolution provision, the parties will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, provided such relief would otherwise be available by law;
(iii) Each ADR Proceeding, including the occurrence of such ADR Proceeding, the nature and amount of any relief sought or granted and the results of any discovery taken in such ADR Proceeding, shall be kept strictly confidential by each of Discover Funding and the Requesting Party, except as necessary in connection with a judicial challenge to or enforcement of an award, or as otherwise required by law. The Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to provide any Certificateholder or Note Owner (other than any Certificateholder or Verified Note Owner directing the Trustee’s or Indenture Trustee’s actions, if any) with any information that it receives with respect to an ADR Proceeding by virtue of its being a Requesting Party.
(iv) Any expenses incurred by the Trustee or Indenture Trustee acting as the Requesting Party pursuant to this Section 21 shall be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 11.05 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Section 806 of the Indenture, as applicable.
28
SECTION 22. Asset Representations Review. Discover Funding shall (i) cooperate with procedures for a review of the representations and warranties to be tested pursuant to the Asset Representations Review Agreement, and (ii) provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with reasonable access to Discover Funding’s offices and information databases upon the initiation of an Asset Representations Review as set forth in Section 715 of the Indenture.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Original Series 2007-CC Supplement shall remain in full force and effect and is in all respects ratified and confirmed.

REVERSE OF SERIES 2007-CC CERTIFICATE
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement. This Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, as each may be amended from time to time, the Investor Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Investor Certificateholder is bound.
This Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate represents a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust including the right to receive the Collections and other amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement to be deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 2007-CC or paid to the Investor Ccrtificateholder.
The aggregate interest represented by the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate at any time in the assets of the Trust shall equal the Series Investor Interest at such time. The Series Investor Interest of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is initially $400,000,000 and will increase or decrease pursuant to the terms of the Series Supplement and certain documents referenced therein. The amount of the Series Investor Interest, including all increases and decreases thereto, shall be maintained on the records of the Trustee; provided, however, that the failure of the Trustee to make any such recordation or any error thereon, shall not affect the obligations of Discover Bank hereunder or under the Series Supplement. In addition to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided interest in the Trust not represented by the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate or the investor certificates of any other Series of investor certificates then outstanding, if any. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sellers may from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of investor certificates, which will represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust.
Series Principal Collections, Series Finance Charge Collections, Series Interchange and other amounts allocable to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate will be distributed to, or for the account of, the Investor Certificateholder of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate on each Distribution Date through and including the Series Termination Date in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Series Supplement.
This Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Master Servicer. This Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables and certain other assets of the Trust, all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions, the amendment and modification of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, and the rights of Investor Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, at any time by the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee in certain cases (some of which require confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of their respective ratings assigned to the Investor Certificates) without the consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in all other cases with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Invested Amount of each such affected Class (and with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of their respective ratings assigned to the Investor Certificates); provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) have a material adverse effect on any Class of Investor Certificateholders by reducing in any manner the amount of, or delaying the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of each affected Class then of record; provided, further, that the permitted activities of the Trust may be significantly changed only with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Investor Certificateholder for the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, including the deemed consent described in the following sentence, shall be conclusive and binding on such Investor Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and of any Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate issued in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate. Subject to compliance with the terms of Section 17 of the Series Supplement, the Investor Certificateholder of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, by acceptance of this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, will be deemed to have consented for all purposes to any amendment that any Seller determines is necessary or desirable for such Seller to maintain or establish sale accounting treatment under then-applicable financial accounting standards.
The transfer of this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Investor Certificateholder for the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate or such Investor Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is exchangeable for a new Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate evidencing a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, as requested by the Investor Certificateholder for the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Master Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
2
The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, nor any agent of any of them or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, if the principal of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate has not been paid in full prior to the Series Termination Date, the obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement with respect to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate shall terminate on the Series Termination Date.

1 | The Discover Card Master Trust I is required to maintain Principal Receivables greater than or equal to the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance. The Minimum Principal Receivables Balance is generally calculated by dividing the Investor Interest by 93%. If the Principal Receivables in the Master Trust are less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance, and Discover Bank fails to assign sufficient Receivables to eliminate the deficiency, then an amortization event would occur. This would also cause an early redemption event for the notes issued by Discover Card Execution Note Trust. |
2 | Only the portion of Master Trust Collections required to be deposited under the Master Trust’s Required Daily Deposit provisions will typically be deposited in the Master Trust Collections Account each month, and these required amounts may vary markedly from month to month depending on whether any - Notes (or Certificates) are maturing on the following distribution date (in which case additional Principal Collections are retained in such account). Accordingly, the amount deposited in the account is not meaningful as an indicator of Master Trust performance. |
3 | For purposes of allocations to investors, all recoveries are treated as Finance Charge Collections and are included as such in Item 3 above. |
