Election and Removal of Directors Upon election by the Member, each Director shall hold office until his or her death, disability, resignation or removal at any time at the pleasure of the Member. If a vacancy occurs on the Board, the Member shall, as soon as practicable after the occurrence of such vacancy, elect a successor so that the Board remains fully constituted at all times.
Failure to Designate a Board Member In the absence of any designation from the Persons or groups with the right to designate a director as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.
No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors No Stockholder, nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Stockholder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Vacancies; Resignation; Removal Section 3. From and after the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering and subject to any voting powers of one or more classes or series of Shares as set forth in this Declaration or in the Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Trustees, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees as set forth below. Prior to the date when Shares are first sold pursuant to a public offering, subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancies occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by the Trustees without any action by or meeting of Shareholders. Subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that results from an increase in the number of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the entire Board of Trustees, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees may be filled by a majority of the Trustees then in office, whether or not sufficient to constitute a quorum, or by a sole remaining Trustee; provided, however, that if the Shareholders of any class or series of Shares are entitled separately to elect one or more Trustees, a majority of the remaining Trustees elected by that class or series or the sole remaining Trustee elected by that class or series may fill any vacancy among the number of Trustees elected by that class or series. A Trustee elected by the Board of Trustees to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees shall serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. At any annual meeting of Shareholders, any Trustee elected to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board of Trustees that has arisen since the preceding annual meeting of Shareholders (whether or not any such vacancy has been filled by election of a new Trustee by the Board of Trustees) shall hold office for a term which coincides with the remaining term of the Class of Trustee to which such office was previously assigned, if such vacancy arose other than by an increase in the number of Trustees, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In the event such vacancy arose due to an increase in the number of Trustees, any Trustee so elected to fill such vacancy at an annual meeting shall hold office for a term which coincides with that of the Class of Trustee to which such office has been apportioned as heretofore provided, and until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
Resignation; Removal Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Company Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, at any time by the Company Board. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any contractual or employment rights.
Vacancies and Removal The Board may fill any vacancy which may occur in any office. Officers shall hold office at the pleasure of the Board and any officer may be removed from office at any time with or without cause by the vote of a majority of the entire Board whenever, in the judgment of the Board, the best interests of the Fund will be served thereby.

Notwithstanding this Section 5.2(a), if Additional Accounts are designated to the Master Trust in connection with the securitization that (i) were originated under substantially different underwriting standards than the Accounts designated to the Master Trust on the Effective Date and (ii) materially and adversely change the credit composition of the Receivables owned by the Master Trust, the parties to this Agreement shall commence good faith negotiations to modify the provisions regarding the resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and terminate this Agreement if it does not receive any undisputed payment due under this Agreement (including Section 4.6) or the Fee Letter, which failure continues un-remedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure shall have been given to Discover Bank (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) (the “Cure Period”).

Trustees, Shareholders, etc. Not Personally Liable; Notice Section 1. All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust or a particular series or class of Shares shall look only to the assets of the Trust or the assets of that particular series or class of Shares for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders nor the Trustees, nor any of the Trust’s officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor.

Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any officer or officers shall give notice that this Declaration is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall recite that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust or by them as Trustee or Trustees or as officer or officers and not individually and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon any of them or the Shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust, and may contain such further recital as he or she or they may deem appropriate, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind any Trustee or Trustees or officer or officers or Shareholder or Shareholders individually.
Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings (a) Attendance at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such Securities before being voted.
