Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the LIBOR Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of LIBOR (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 alternative replacement rate to LIBOR or any other 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 other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what benchmark replacement conforming changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

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.

The Class C(2020-4) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. All terms used in this Class C(2020-4) 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(2020-4) 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(2020-4) 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.
