NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby expressly acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS. (a) The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement, as applicable; provided, however, that such defined terms shall only have the meanings applicable to Subseries 3 of Series 2006-2. (b) The following terms have the definitions set forth below: “Interest Period” means (i) with respect to the initial Distribution Date, the period commencing on the Series Closing Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the initial Distribution Date and (ii) with respect to each subsequent Distribution Date, the period commencing on the preceding Distribution Date and ending on the day immediately preceding such Distribution Date.

“Lender Rate” means, with respect to each Interest Period, the prime commercial lending rate per annum established by the Trustee, as in effect on each day in the Interest Period. “LIBOR-Based Rate” means, with respect to each Interest Period, the per annum interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate which appears on Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two LIBOR Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period for deposits of United States dollars for a period of time comparable to the Interest Period, and in an amount comparable to the principal amount of the Loan, plus 0.35%. “Provider Amount” means, with respect to each Distribution Date, the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal amount of the Loan (including any amounts loaned by the Credit Enhancement Provider pursuant to Section 8 hereof) and (ii) the amount on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account, in each case before giving effect to any payments, allocations or distributions on such Distribution Date. “Series Interest Payment Amount” means, for any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amount of interest payable on the Loan on such Distribution Date, including any accrued but unpaid interest with respect to previous Interest Periods and interest thereon, less the amount paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof. The Series Interest Payment Amount shall be the amount of interest payable pursuant to this Agreement for purposes of calculating the “Credit Enhancement Fee” for the purpose of, and as such term is defined in, the Series Supplement and such amount shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Series Supplement. SECTION 2. LOAN. The Credit Enhancement Provider hereby makes a term loan to the Trust, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of the Series, on the Series Closing Date in an amount equal to $25,263,225, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Trustee. The amount of such Loan shall be increased by the amount of any additional loan made upon the agreement of the Credit Enhancement Provider pursuant to Section 8 hereof. SECTION 3. CALCULATION OF AMOUNT OF INTEREST PAYABLE ON THE LOAN. (a) The Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum determined for such day as follows. To the extent the unpaid portion of the principal of the Loan during such Interest Period equals or is less than the amount on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account, the rate for such Interest Period on such principal portion shall be the LIBOR-Based Rate. To the extent any portion of the unpaid principal of the Loan exceeds such amount on deposit, the rate for such Interest Period on such principal portion shall be the Lender Rate. (b) Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Distribution Date. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the applicable Interest Period divided by (i) 360, to the extent the LIBOR-Based Rate is applicable, or (ii) 365 or 366, as the case may be, to the extent the Lender Rate is applicable. The Trustee shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Credit Enhancement Provider of each determination of the Lender Rate and of the LIBOR-Based Rate. Each determination thereof by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Credit Enhancement Provider, in the absence of manifest error. (c) If any portion of interest due and payable on a Distribution Date is not paid on such Distribution Date, the unpaid portion of such interest shall be due and payable on the next succeeding

Distribution Date. Any interest that is not paid on the due date thereof shall accrue interest from the Distribution Date on which such interest was due and payable to the date such interest is actually paid at a rate per annum equal to the Lender Rate. SECTION 4. PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON THE LOAN. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement shall pay or cause to be paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan from the funds and in the order of priority set forth below; provided, however, that such payments shall not exceed the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan and that such payments will be made only to the extent such funds are available: (a) interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on the Provider Amount; and (b) the Series Interest Payment Amount, to the extent such amount has been paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement pursuant to the Series Supplement. SECTION 5. REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF THE LOAN. The principal amount of the Loan shall be due and payable on the Series Termination Date. The Trust shall repay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in full on or before the Series Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the unpaid principal amount of the Loan shall only be paid from the funds described below, and only to the extent such funds are available. (a) If, as of any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all other deposits to and withdrawals from the Credit Enhancement Account as of such Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account exceeds the Total Maximum Credit Enhancement Amount, (i) the amount of such excess, up to the amount, if any, by which the amount on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account exceeds the unpaid principal amount of the Loan, shall be withdrawn from the Credit Enhancement Account and paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate and (ii) the remaining amount of such excess, if any, after payment of any amounts to be paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5(a), shall be withdrawn from the Credit Enhancement Account and paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider for application toward the unpaid principal amount of the Loan. (b) On the earlier to occur of (i) the Series Termination Date and (ii) the day on which the Class Invested Amount with respect to each Class of the Series is paid in full, and after payment of any amounts to be paid on such day from the Credit Enhancement Account to or for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of the Series, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account, up to the amount of the unpaid principal amount of the Loan, shall be withdrawn from such account and paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider for application toward the unpaid principal amount of the Loan. SECTION 6. PAYMENTS TO THE HOLDER OF THE SELLER CERTIFICATE AND THE MASTER SERVICER. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement shall pay or cause to be paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate (i) the interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (x) the amount on deposit in the Credit

Enhancement Account and (y) the Provider Amount and (ii) the positive difference, if any, between (x) the amount of interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on the Provider Amount and (y) the amount paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4(a). (b) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amount, if any, paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement pursuant to Section 9(b)(27) and 9(b)(32) of the Series Supplement, shall be paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate. (c) On the earlier to occur of (i) the Series Termination Date and (ii) the day on which the Class Invested Amount with respect to each Class of the Series is paid in full, and after payment of any amounts to be paid on such day from the Credit Enhancement Account to or for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of the Series, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account that are not paid to the Credit Enhancement Provider pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof shall be withdrawn from such account and paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate. SECTION 7. DEPOSITS TO AND WITHDRAWALS FROM THE CREDIT ENHANCEMENT ACCOUNT. (a) The proceeds of the Loan made by the Credit Enhancement Provider to the Trust pursuant to Section 2 hereof, for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of the Series, on the Series Closing Date and the proceeds of any additional loan made by the Credit Enhancement Provider pursuant to Section 8 hereof, shall be deposited into the Credit Enhancement Account. In addition, any amounts paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement on any Distribution Date with respect to the Total Available Credit Enhancement Amount or the Available Class B Credit Enhancement Amount pursuant to the terms of the Series Supplement also shall be deposited into the Credit Enhancement Account upon receipt of such funds by the Trustee. (b) Any withdrawals from the Credit Enhancement Account for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9 of the Series Supplement may be made by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement and shall be deemed to be made first from amounts on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account as a result of payments of Series Excess Servicing and other amounts to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement to fund the Total Available Credit Enhancement Amount, including any Series Excess Servicing or other such amounts on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account as a result of an Alternative Credit Support Election having been made or as a result of the occurrence of a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event, and only after such amounts are exhausted shall any such withdrawals be deemed to be made from amounts on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account that are attributable to the Loan. (c) On or before any Distribution Date on which Discover Bank is the Master Servicer, all payments made pursuant to this Agreement or the Series Supplement between the Master Servicer or the Holder of the Seller Certificate and the Credit Enhancement Account, may be aggregated for such Distribution Date such that Discover Bank, acting as Master Servicer and as agent of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, may make only one payment to the Credit Enhancement Account in satisfaction of all payments of the Master Servicer and the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to this Agreement or the Series Supplement, to the extent that all payment obligations of the Master Servicer and the Holder of the Seller Certificate to the Credit Enhancement Account on such Distribution Date exceed all payment obligations of the Credit Enhancement Account to the Master Servicer and the Holder of the Seller Certificate on such Distribution Date.

SECTION 8. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL LOANS. (a) Alternative Credit Support Election. In the event that an Alternative Credit Support Election is made pursuant to the provisions of the Series Supplement, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may request that the Credit Enhancement Provider make an additional loan in the amount of the Additional Credit Support Amount.

In the event that the Alternative Credit Support Election does not become effective, the Additional Credit Support Amount (or, if the entire amount of the Additional Credit Support Amount is not then on deposit in the Credit Enhancement Account, the portion of the Additional Credit Support Amount that is then on deposit) shall be withdrawn from the Credit Enhancement Account and repaid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate (or, if such amount was loaned by the Credit Enhancement Provider, returned to the Credit Enhancement Provider). (b) Increased Credit Enhancement Amount. In the event the Series Investor Interest is increased pursuant to Section 31 of the Series Supplement, requiring an Increased Credit Enhancement Amount, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may request that the Credit Enhancement Provider make an additional loan in the amount of the Increased Credit Enhancement Amount.

(c) Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event. In the event that a Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event occurs, Discover Bank as Servicer may request that the Credit Enhancement Provider make an additional loan in the amount of the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount. If Discover Bank as Servicer makes such a request, and if the Credit Enhancement Provider elects to make such loan, the amount of such loan shall be equal to the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount and shall be added to the unpaid principal amount of the Loan. (d) Notice. The Credit Enhancement Provider shall give prior written notice to Xxxxx’x and Standard & Poor’s of the making of any loan by the Credit Enhancement Provider other than the additional loans described in this Section 8. (e) Interest Rate. At the time of any additional loan described in this Section 8, Discover Bank as Servicer and the Credit Enhancement Provider may agree in writing that the Supplemental Credit Enhancement Amount, the Increased Credit Enhancement Amount or the Additional Credit Support Amount, as applicable, shall bear interest at a different LIBOR-Based Rate, which rate shall reflect prevailing market conditions and the expected duration of such additional loan.

Such transfer of servicing shall not affect any rights or obligations of the former Master Servicer under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of the transfer of servicing, except that such former Master Servicer shall have no obligation to indemnify the Credit Enhancement Provider as a result of any act or failure to act of any successor Master Servicer in the performance of the servicing functions.
