21
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 Seller and no affiliate or agent of any Seller shall be permitted to bid for or purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 12(b); provided, however, that an affiliate or agent of any Seller 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 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 (other than for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes). The parties intend the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of Receivables in connection herewith to be treated as a sale for accounting purposes.
SECTION 17. Amendment for Sale Accounting Purposes. If any Seller determines that (i) an amendment to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is necessary or desirable for such Seller to maintain or establish sale accounting treatment under then-applicable financial accounting standards, and (ii) such Seller cannot enter into such amendment pursuant to
22
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 Sellers, 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 Trustee shall have been advised by the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any Class of any Series then outstanding or the rating assigned to any series, class or Tranche of Notes then outstanding.
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 any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller 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 Ann. tit. 6, § 2701A 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 Seller; (2) the Seller, its creditors or, in any insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller or the Sellers 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 Seller any of the Transferred Assets; and (3) in the event of a bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller or the Sellers property, such Transferred Assets shall not be deemed to be part of the Sellers property, assets, rights or estate.
SECTION 19. Increases to Series Investor Interest.

23
Notes to be allocated to the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, as determined by Discover Bank as beneficiary of the Note Issuance Trust;
(b) Discover Bank, as Holder of the Seller 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 Bank, as Holder of the Seller 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;
(d) The Sellers shall have delivered to the Trustee written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that they will not, as a result of the increase, change the rating of any Class of any Series outstanding at the time of the increase; and
(e) Discover Bank, on behalf of the holder of the Seller 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 Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have been notified by the Rating Agencies that such amendment would not result in the lowering or withdrawal of the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding.
