representations and warranties of any such Additional Seller contained in the applicable Assignment) are not true and correct and such breach is not cured within 60 days of the earlier of (A) actual knowledge of such breach by the relevant Seller or (B) receipt by such Seller and the Master Servicer of written notice of such breach by either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders)

then a Trust Portfolio Repurchase Event shall have occurred. The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation for purposes of this Section 2.05(a).

(b) Repurchase of Trust Portfolio. If at any time a Trust Portfolio Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount, by notice then given in writing to the Sellers and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to purchase an amount of Principal Receivables (as specified below) within 60 days of such notice, or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice, and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be obligated to purchase such Receivables with respect to each Series then outstanding on or before the Distribution Date with respect to each such Series occurring within such period subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made if, at any time during such period, such Trust Portfolio Repurchase Event shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders as a whole. In such case, (i) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall deposit into each Series Distribution Account for each Series then outstanding on or before the Distribution Date with respect to such Series an amount equal to the purchase price for such Series, as set forth in the next sentence, and (ii) the Trustee shall, except in the case of a Trust Portfolio Repurchase Event caused by an Assignment of Additional Accounts, pay the amount on deposit in each Series Principal Funding Account with respect to Series Principal Collections to the Series Distribution Account with respect to each such Series on such Distribution Date, and the total amount deposited into the Series Distribution Account pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders pursuant to Section 12.02.

The purchase price with respect to each Series will be equal to (i) the Series Investor Interest on the Distribution Date with respect to such Series immediately preceding the date such deposit is made (after giving effect to any distributions made on such Distribution Date) plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid Certificate Interest on the outstanding amount of Investor Certificates of such Series to be so purchased through the date set for such purchase; provided, however, that if an assignment of Additional Accounts results in a Trust Portfolio Repurchase Event, only the Receivables of such Additional Accounts shall be repurchased at a price with respect to each Series equal to the product of (i) the Series Percentage with respect to Principal Receivables for the next following Distribution Date with respect to such Series and (ii) the amount of Receivables attributable to the Additional Accounts, and such purchase price shall be applied as Collections in respect of such Receivables in accordance with each applicable Series

Supplement and deposited in the Group Collections Account relating to each Series. Payment of the purchase price and the amounts on deposit in the Collections Account with respect to the preceding Due Period shall be considered a prepayment in full of such Receivables. On each Distribution Date on which such amount is scheduled to be deposited, the Receivables to be so purchased and all the monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds of such Receivables (including, if applicable, all amounts on deposit in the Series Interest Funding Account for each Series) shall be released to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment including, without limitation, any document necessary to release the Trust’s security interest in such Receivables and to release any filing evidencing or perfecting such security interest, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by any Seller under this Agreement the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivables or interest therein), as shall be reasonably requested by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to vest in Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, or its designee or assignee, all right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds of such Receivables.

SECTION 2.06 Series Repurchase Obligations of the Sellers.

(a) Series Repurchase Event. If, as of the Series Closing Date with respect to any Series, the Series Supplement for such Series does not constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Seller enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equity principles, then a Series Repurchase Event shall have occurred. The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation for purposes of this Section 2.06(a).

(b) Repurchase of Series. If at any time a Series Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Series Invested Amount with respect to such Series, by notice then given in writing to the Sellers and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders of such Series), may direct Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to purchase the Investor Certificates of such Series within 60 days of such notice, or within such longer period as may be specified in such notice, and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be obligated to purchase such Investor Certificates on a Distribution Date with respect to such Series occurring within such period, subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, on the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that no such purchase shall be required to be made if, at any time during such period, such Series Repurchase Event shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series as a whole. In such case, on such Distribution Date, (i) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall deposit into the Series Distribution Account an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Series Investor Interest on the Distribution Date with respect to such Series immediately preceding the date such deposit is made (after giving effect to any distributions made on such Distribution Date) and (y) all accrued but unpaid Certificate Interest on the outstanding amount of Investor Certificates to be so purchased through the date set for such purchase, and (ii) the

Trustee shall pay the amount on deposit in the Series Principal Funding Account with respect to such Series to the Series Distribution Account with respect to such Series, and the total amount deposited into the Series Distribution Account pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) shall be distributed to the Investor Certificateholders of such Series pursuant to Section 12.02.

SECTION 2.07 Repurchase Obligations of the Sellers Relating to Receivables.

(a) Receivable Repurchase Events. In the event that each Receivable that is transferred to the Trust is not, as of the time of such transfer, an Eligible Receivable and such event has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders’ interest in the Receivables as a whole and is not cured within 60 days of the earlier of (i) actual knowledge of such event by the relevant Seller or (ii) receipt by such Seller of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, then a Receivable Repurchase Event shall have occurred. Upon receipt of actual knowledge of any such event, such Seller shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Rating Agencies and the Trustee. The determination of materiality pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be made by an officer of the Master Servicer in his sole reasonable judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust at the end of the Due Period in which the relevant Seller obtained (i) actual knowledge of the transfer of a Receivable that is not an Eligible Receivable, or (ii) written notice of such a transfer from the Trustee, would be less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance if such Receivables were excluded from the amount of Principal Receivables used in such determination, and (b) the relevant Seller’s short term debt rating from Standard & Poor’s is less than A-1, then a Receivables Repurchase Event shall automatically occur with respect to each such Receivable that was not an Eligible Receivable upon transfer and the Receivables in each Account to which such event relates shall be removed from the Trust in accordance with Section 2.07(b). The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Section 2.07(a).

(b) Purchase of Ineligible Receivables. If at any time a Receivable Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall purchase all the Receivables in each Account in which there is any Receivable as to which such event relates (an “Ineligible Receivable”), subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, on the terms and conditions set forth below. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall purchase all the Receivables in each Account with an Ineligible Receivable on the Trust Distribution Date related to the then current Due Period by directing the Master Servicer to deduct the amount of such Receivables which are Principal Receivables from the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust. On and after the date of such repurchase, Receivables so purchased shall not be included in the calculation of any Series Percentage, the Seller Percentage or the Seller Interest. In the event that such an exclusion of Receivables from the calculation of the Seller Interest would cause such Seller Interest to be a negative number on the date of purchase of such Receivables, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall make a deposit in the Collections Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which the Seller Interest would be reduced below zero. Such deposit shall be considered a payment in full of such Receivables and shall be applied as Collections in respect of such Receivables in accordance with Section 4.03. Upon each such purchase of Receivables by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer,

assign and otherwise convey to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by any Seller under this Agreement the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivable or interest therein), all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and all Receivables thereafter created in such Account. The Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment including, without limitation, any document necessary to release the Trust’s security interest in such Receivables and to release any filings evidencing or perfecting such security interest and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this section. The obligation of Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to purchase any Ineligible Receivables, and to make the deposits, if any, required to be made to the Collections Account as provided in this Section 2.07(b), shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to the Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders).

SECTION 2.08 Intention of Parties. In the event that the covenants and obligations of Discover Bank under Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 2.07, or the obligation of Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to deposit certain late payment charges and cash advance fees with respect to the Accounts into the Collections Account or to pay servicing fees to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 or the applicable provisions of any Series Supplements (collectively, the “Obligations”) are at any time the subject of concurrent Obligations of one or more other parties to the Seller Certificate Ownership Agreement, it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that such obligations of Discover Bank shall be conditioned on Discover Bank’s ability to enforce such concurrent Obligations against such other parties.

SECTION 2.09 Covenants of the Sellers. The Sellers hereby covenant that:

(a) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, no Seller will sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Receivable or any Interchange transferred to the Trust by such Seller, whether existing as of the Cut-Off Date or thereafter created, or any interest therein, and each Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of the Trust in, to and under such Receivables and such Interchange, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Seller. Each Seller shall, if so requested by the Trustee, as agent for the Sellers, provide information to third parties (which information may be provided by the Sellers directly or through the Trustee) concerning the Accounts, the Receivables and the Interchange sufficient to comply with the UCC as in effect in the Applicable State.

(b) Credit Agreements. Each Seller shall cause the respective Servicer, as its agent, to service and administer the Accounts, the Receivables under which have been transferred to the Trust by such Seller, and which are serviced by such Servicer, in a particular state or similar jurisdiction in accordance with policies identical to those used in servicing and administering other of such Seller’s credit card accounts in such jurisdiction. The terms and provisions of a Credit Agreement may be changed in any respect (including, without limitation, the calculation of the amount, or the timing, of charge-offs) only if such change is made

applicable to such Seller’s entire portfolio of accounts of that general type, obligors of which are resident in a particular affected state or similar jurisdiction, and not only to such Accounts.

(c) Account Allocations. In the event that any Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of any governmental agency having regulatory authority over any Seller or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that any Seller not convey any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, such Seller agrees to allocate and pay to the Trust, after the date of such inability, all Collections with respect to Receivables that would have been Principal Receivables but for the inability to transfer such Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on such date with respect to Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust by such Seller); and such Seller agrees to have such amounts applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.03. If such Seller is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate payments on the Accounts as described above, such Seller agrees that it shall, in any such event, allocate after such date payments on each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and to have such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.03. The parties hereto agree that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of Principal Receivables that have been conveyed to the Trust by any Seller shall continue to be a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional Principal Receivables to the Trust, and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Section 4.03.

(d) Receivables and Interchange Not to be Evidenced by Promissory Notes. No Seller will take any action to cause any Receivable or any Interchange to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Applicable State with respect to such Seller) except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account.

(e) Notice to Trustee. Promptly upon receipt of notice by any officer of any Seller that any liens (other than those contemplated by this Agreement or any Assignment) have been placed on the Receivables, such Seller shall notify the Trustee in writing of such liens.

SECTION 2.10 Addition of Accounts.

(a) Required Additions. (i) In the event that the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust at the end of any Due Period is less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall designate, effective no later than the commencement of the following Due Period, additional credit accounts (“Additional Accounts”) to be included as Accounts, which may be credit accounts originated by Discover Bank or affiliates of Discover Bank, whether or not such accounts are Discover Card accounts, and shall transfer to the Trust (A) all receivables existing in such Additional Accounts on the date of designation, to be included as Receivables and (B) all receivables created in such Additional Accounts on and after the effective date of designation, and the corresponding portion of Interchange arising on and after the effective date of such designation, in each case subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.10(b) or (c), as applicable, in a sufficient amount such that, after giving effect to such additions, the amount of

Principal Receivables in the Trust is at least equal to the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance.

(ii) In lieu of, or in addition to, designating Additional Accounts pursuant to paragraph (i) above, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.10(d), convey to the Trust participations representing undivided interests in a pool of assets primarily consisting of receivables in revolving credit card accounts and collections thereon (“Participation Interests”). The addition of Participation Interests to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be effected by an amendment to this Agreement, dated the applicable Addition Date, pursuant to Section 13.01(a).

(b) Conditions to the Designation of Discover Card Accounts Originated by Discover Bank as Additional Accounts. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be permitted to designate Discover Card accounts originated by Discover Bank as “Additional Accounts” if the following conditions are satisfied on or prior to the Addition Date (except with respect to Section 2.10(b)(i), which shall be satisfied on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the Addition Date):

(i) the Seller or Sellers with respect to such Additional Accounts shall have delivered to the Trustee a written assignment (including an acceptance by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders) in substantially the form of Exhibit A and a computer file, hard copy or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Additional Accounts identified by account number, which computer file, hard copy or microfiche list shall be deemed to be an amendment to Schedule 1 hereto as of the date of such Assignment;

(ii) the Servicer with respect to such Additional Accounts shall have delivered a certificate of a Servicing Officer confirming that the Additional Accounts were not selected on the basis of any selection criteria believed by such Servicer to be materially adverse to the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding or any Credit Enhancement Provider;

(iii) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion or Opinions of Counsel concerning the perfection of the Trust’s security interest in the Receivables in such Additional Accounts, and concerning insolvency and related matters with respect to such Receivables, that will not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be withdrawn or lowered by either Rating Agency; and

(iv) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered notice of such proposed assignment of Additional Accounts to the Rating Agencies, and Standard & Poor’s (and, in the event that the proposed assignment of Additional Accounts is not required pursuant to Section 2.10(a), Moody’s) shall have advised Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such assignment of Additional Accounts would not

cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn.

(c) Conditions to Designation of Additional Accounts, other than Discover Card Accounts Originated by Discover Bank. In addition to designations of Additional Accounts as described in Section 2.10(b), subject to the conditions set forth below, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be permitted to designate as Additional Accounts (x) credit accounts originated by Discover Bank which are not Discover Card accounts and/or (y) credit accounts originated by an affiliate of Discover Bank (an “Additional Seller”), which may or may not be Discover Card accounts. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be permitted to designate such accounts as Additional Accounts if the following conditions are satisfied on or prior to the Addition Date (except with respect to Section 2.10(c)(i), which shall be satisfied on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the Addition Date):

(i) the Seller or Sellers with respect to such Additional Accounts shall have delivered to the Trustee a written assignment (including an acceptance by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders) in substantially the form of Exhibit A and a computer file, hard copy or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Additional Accounts, identified by originator and account number, which computer file, hard copy or microfiche list shall be deemed to be an amendment to Schedule 1 hereto as of the date of such Assignment;

(ii) the Servicer with respect to such Additional Accounts shall have delivered a certificate of a Servicing Officer confirming that such Additional Accounts were not selected on the basis of any selection criteria believed by such Servicer to be materially adverse to the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding or any Credit Enhancement Provider;

(iv) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered notice of such proposed assignment of Additional Accounts to the Rating Agencies and the Rating Agencies shall have advised Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such assignment of Additional Accounts would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn.

(d) Conditions to Designation of Participation Interests. In addition to designations of Additional Accounts as described in Sections 2.10(b) and 2.10(c), subject to the conditions set forth below, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall

be permitted to convey to the Trust Participation Interests. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be permitted to convey such Participation Interests to the Trust if, on or prior to the Addition Date, the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered a certificate stating that Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate reasonably believes that the addition of the Participation Interests will not be materially adverse to the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding or any Credit Enhancement Provider;

(ii) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion or Opinions of Counsel concerning the perfection of the Trust’s security interest in the Participation Interests and concerning insolvency and related matters with respect to such Participation Interests, that will not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be withdrawn or lowered by either Rating Agency; and

(iii) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered notice of such proposed conveyance of Participation Interests to the Rating Agencies and the Rating Agencies shall have advised Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such conveyance of Participation Interests would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn.

(e) Calculation of Finance Charge Receivables. The Servicer with respect to any Additional Accounts shall prepare a reasonable estimate of the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Additional Accounts in the Due Period in which such Receivables are first included in the Trust, which estimate shall be deemed to be the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Additional Accounts in such Due Period, absent manifest error. Such Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, upon request, a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of such estimate.

SECTION 2.11 Removal of Accounts.

(a) Optional Removals. From time to time, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may, but shall not be obligated to, (i) designate Accounts for deletion and removal from the Trust (“Removed Accounts”) and (ii) cause the Trust to transfer to the Holder of the Seller Certificate (A) all receivables existing in such Removed Accounts on the date of designation and (B) all receivables created in such Removed Accounts on and after the effective date of designation, and the corresponding portion of Interchange arising on and after the effective date of such designation (the “Removed Interchange”). Such deletion and removal shall be effective as of the day specified in the notice referred to in the following sentence, which (i) may be any day with respect to removals of Accounts (but shall be effective as of the last day of any Due Period with respect to the Removed Interchange) covered by Section 2.11(b)(vi)(A), and (ii) shall be the last day of any Due Period with respect to removals of Accounts (and the Removed Interchange) covered by Section 2.11(b)(vi)(B) or (C) (any such effective date, the “Removal Date”), subject to the notice requirement and other conditions set forth below. On or

before the fifth Business Day prior to the Removal Date (the “Removal Notice Date”), Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any Credit Enhancement Provider written notice that the receivables from such Removed Accounts and the Removed Interchange are to be reassigned by the Trustee to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate effective as of the Removal Date.

(b) Conditions to the Designation of Removed Accounts. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall be permitted to designate and require reassignment to the Holder of the Seller Certificate of the Receivables from Removed Accounts and the Removed Interchange only upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(ii) The removal of the Removed Accounts on any Removal Date shall not, in the reasonable belief of Discover Bank cause either (A) an Amortization Event to occur or (B) the Deficit Accumulation Amount or Deficit Liquidation Amount, as applicable, with respect to any Series then outstanding on any Distribution Date to be greater than zero;

(iii) On or prior to the fifth Business Day following the Removal Date, the Seller or Sellers with respect to such Removed Accounts and Removed Interchange shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) for execution a written assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall include a warranty of the Trustee that since the date of transfer by such Seller or Sellers under this Agreement the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivable, the Removed Interchange or interest in either and (B) a computer file, microfiche list or hard copy containing a true and complete list of all such Removed Accounts identified by originator and account number and containing the amount of Principal Receivables in such Removed Accounts as of the Removal Date, which computer file or microfiche list shall as of the Removal Date modify and amend Schedule 1 hereto by deleting therefrom information with respect to any Removed Account and be made a part of this Agreement;

(vi) The Removed Accounts shall meet one of the following criteria:

(A) Each of such Accounts is a Charged-Off Account; provided that Discover Bank shall transfer to the Trust all proceeds received with respect to any Removed Account that is a Charged-Off Account, such amounts to constitute Recovered Amounts under the terms of this Agreement;

(B) Such Accounts were randomly selected from the Accounts; provided that such random selection process need not include selection of Charged-Off Accounts; or

(C) Such Accounts were originated or maintained in connection with an affinity or private-label arrangement, and such affinity or private-label arrangement has been cancelled by a third party or has expired; provided, however, that Accounts originated or maintained pursuant to an affinity or private-label arrangement shall only be removed pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(vi)(C) if, prior to the cancellation or expiration of such arrangement, the Master Servicer designated such arrangement in writing to the Trustee as an arrangement with respect to which these provisions apply; and

(vii) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate confirming the items set forth in (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate, shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.

Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the reassignment to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, and the Receivables from the Removed Accounts and the Removed Interchange shall no longer constitute a part of the Trust.

(c) Calculation of Finance Charge Receivables. The Servicer with respect to any Removed Accounts shall prepare a reasonable estimate of the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Removed Accounts in the Due Period in which such Receivables are removed from the Trust, which estimate shall be deemed to be the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Removed Accounts in such Due Period, absent manifest error. Such Servicer shall provide the Trustee, upon request, a certificate of a Servicing Officer setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of such estimate.

ARTICLE III.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 3.01 Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to the Master Servicer.

(b) Subject to Section 10.01, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) unless such power and authority is revoked by the Trustee, to instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Investor Accounts in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Agreement and in the Series Supplements, (ii) to make drawings on any Credit Enhancement as set forth in the Series Supplements, (iii) to make any filings or registrations with, and seek any consents or authorizations from, the Securities and Exchange Commission and any securities authority of any jurisdiction on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or advisable to comply with the securities or reporting requirements laws of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction and (iv) to take any other action and exercise any other power permitted to be taken or exercised by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Series Supplement. The Trustee agrees that it shall promptly follow the written instructions of the Master Servicer to withdraw funds from the Investor Accounts and make drawings under any Credit Enhancement as required by this Agreement or any applicable Series Supplement. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate under the laws of any jurisdiction with authority over the Receivables to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(c) In the event that any Seller is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of the application of the provisions of Section 9.01 or any governmental agency having regulatory authority over any Seller or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that any Seller not convey any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the Master Servicer agrees to allocate, after the date of such inability, all Collections with respect to Principal Receivables, and all amounts that would have constituted Collections with respect to Receivables that would have been Principal Receivables but for such Seller’s inability to transfer such Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Principal Receivables in the Trust as of such date that were transferred to the Trust by such Seller) in accordance with Section 2.09(c) and to apply such amounts as Collections in accordance with Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law or otherwise to allocate payments on the Accounts as described above, the Master Servicer agrees that it shall, in any such event, after such date allocate payments on the Accounts with respect to the principal balance of such Accounts first to the oldest principal balance of such Accounts.

(d) The Master Servicer agrees that upon a request by the Sellers or the Trustee it will use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of the Investor Certificates of any Class of any Series on any specified securities exchange. If any such request is made, the Master Servicer shall give notice to the Sellers and the Trustee of the date on which such Investor Certificates are approved for such listing and within three Business Days following receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of any actual, proposed or contemplated delisting of such Investor Certificates by any such securities exchange. The Trustee or the Master Servicer, each

in its sole discretion, may terminate any listing on any such securities exchange at any time subject to the notice requirements set forth in the preceding sentence.

SECTION 3.02 Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters Relating to Servicers.

(a) In connection with and in consideration for the conveyance of the Receivables to the Trust by the Sellers, and the issuance of the Seller Certificate to the Sellers, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate and the Trustee agree to cause (i) Discover Bank to act as Servicer with respect to Discover Card Accounts under this Agreement and Discover Bank agrees to act as such Servicer under this Agreement and (ii) Discover Bank or an affiliate of Discover Bank to act as Servicer with respect to each type of account, other than Discover Card Accounts, which are designated as Additional Accounts pursuant to Section 2.10 and Discover Bank or such affiliate of Discover Bank shall agree to act as such Servicer under this Agreement, pursuant to the Assignment of Additional Accounts with respect to such Accounts.

(b) Each Servicer is hereby authorized in the name and on behalf of the Trustee and the Holder of the Seller Certificate, and agrees, to service and administer the Receivables with respect to which it is acting as Servicer, and collect payments due under such Receivables in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit receivables comparable to the Receivables and in accordance with its Credit Guidelines, and acting alone or through any party designated by it pursuant to Section 8.06, shall do any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 10.02, each Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders but in its own name, without reference to the fact that it is acting for the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables with respect to which it is acting as Servicer, (ii) after the delinquency of any such Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence collection proceedings with respect to such Receivables and (iii) subject to Section 3.02(e), to sell the receivables in any Charged-Off Account. The Trustee shall furnish each Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate under the laws of any jurisdiction with authority over the Receivables to enable such Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.

(c) No Servicer shall under any circumstances be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees or accounts for servicing Accounts from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by such Servicer in connection with servicing its other accounts.

(d) Until such time as an additional Servicer shall be appointed in conjunction with the addition to the Trust of Additional Accounts that are not Greenwood Discover Card Accounts, Greenwood shall act as Master Servicer and as the sole Servicer hereunder. Upon the appointment of any Servicer in addition to Greenwood (or any Successor Master Servicer, as applicable), Greenwood (or such Successor Master Servicer, as applicable) and any such

additional Servicer shall enter into a Master Servicing Agreement, which agreement shall set forth the respective rights and duties of the Master Servicer and each Servicer.

(e) No Servicer may sell receivables in Charged-Off Accounts pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(iii) after March 31, 2001; provided, however, that to the extent that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, entered into agreements with third parties on or before March 31, 2001 that permit the Trust to require, or obligate the Trust to accept, reassignment of receivables in Charged-Off Accounts sold prior to March 31, 2001 pursuant to such agreements, and to substitute receivables in Charged-Off Accounts for such reassigned receivables, then the Trust shall be entitled to act under such agreements and to substitute receivables for such reassigned receivables, such substitute receivables to be identified by the Master Servicer as meeting the requirements of such agreements; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to identify an amount of substitute receivables that closely approximates the amount of reassigned receivables and that will satisfy the substitution requirements of any such agreement.

SECTION 3.03 Servicing Compensation.

(a) Monthly Servicing Fee. As compensation for its servicing activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly servicing fee in respect of any Due Period (or portion thereof) prior to the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 (the “Monthly Servicing Fee”), payable in arrears on each Trust Distribution Date with respect to the Seller Servicing Fee (as defined below) and payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Series Supplement with respect to the share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to each Series then outstanding. The Monthly Servicing Fee shall in no event be less than an amount equal to the product of (A) 2.0% per annum calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (B) the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust as of the first day of the Due Period related to such Trust Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Trust Distribution Date, the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on the Cut-Off Date). The share of each Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to each Series on each Distribution Date with respect to each such Series shall be set forth in the Series Supplement with respect to each Series, and shall be paid to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Series Supplement by the Person or Persons specified in the applicable Series Supplement. The share of each Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to the Holder of the Seller Certificate (the “Seller Servicing Fee”) on any Trust Distribution Date shall be equal to the product of (A) the product of (x) 2.0% per annum calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (y) and the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust as of the first day of the Due Period related to such Trust Distribution Date (or in the case of the first Trust Distribution Date, the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust on the Cut-Off Date) and (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the amount of the Seller Interest and the denominator of which shall be the greater of (x) the amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust and (y) the Aggregate Investor Interest, and shall be paid to the Master Servicer by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate on or before each Trust Distribution Date.

The Master Servicer’s expenses include the amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05, the reasonable fees and disbursements of independent accountants, the fees of each Servicer other than Discover Bank (which shall be set forth in the Master Servicing Agreement)

and all other expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder, and including all other fees and expenses of the Trust not expressly stated herein or in any Series Supplement to be for the account of the Certificateholders; provided, that in no event shall the Master Servicer (or any Servicer) be liable for any federal, state or local income or franchise tax, or any interest or penalties with respect thereto, assessed on the Trust, the Trustee or the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account, and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Monthly Servicing Fee.

(b) Use of Collections. Subject to Section 4.03(b), the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, with the consent of Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, hereby agrees to allow (without further action by the Trustee) each Servicer to use Collections in respect of Receivables collected by such Servicer until such Collections are to be disbursed by the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of Article IV hereof or the terms of any applicable Series Supplement.

If and when such proposed regulations are adopted, the Master Servicer, in consultation with such accountants and the Master Servicer’s counsel, shall identify whether additional matters must be addressed in such report to satisfy such reporting requirements and shall cause such accountants to address such additional matters in their report.

(b) On or before the Trust’s Annual Report Date of each calendar year, beginning in 2005 (and relating to the preceding fiscal year ending on November 30), the Master Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any Seller) to furnish a report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Servicer and the Rating Agencies, to the effect that they have compared the mathematical calculations of each amount set forth in the monthly certificates forwarded by the Master Servicer pursuant to the applicable Series Supplements during the preceding fiscal year ended November 30, as applicable, with the computer reports of the Master Servicer and each Servicer and such accountants are of the opinion that such amounts are in agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report. A copy of such report may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.

The Seller Certificate shall represent 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 herein and in the Series Supplements to be paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate.

SECTION 4.02 Establishment and Administration of Investor Accounts.

(a) Establishment of the Collections Account and the Group Collections Accounts. The Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Trust, with the corporate trust department of an office or branch of either the Trustee or a Qualified Institution, one non-interest bearing segregated trust account designated the “Collections Account” and one additional non-interest bearing segregated trust account for each Group (each, a “Group Collections Account”), in each case marked to indicate clearly that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Subject to subsection (c) below, the Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Collections Account and each Group Collections Account and in all proceeds thereof. Pursuant to authority granted to it pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Master Servicer shall have the revocable power to instruct the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Collections Account and the Group Collections Accounts for the purpose of carrying out the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer at all times shall maintain accurate records reflecting each transaction in the Collections Account and the Group Collections Accounts.

(b) Establishment of Other Investor Accounts. The Trustee shall, from time to time, establish additional Investor Accounts as provided in applicable Series Supplements.

(c) Administration of the Investor Accounts. Unless otherwise specified in a relevant Series Supplement, any funds on deposit in any Investor Account for more than one Business Day shall at all times be invested in Permitted Investments at the written direction of the Master Servicer or its agent, subject to the restrictions set forth below. The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, for the benefit of the Certificateholders possession of the negotiable instruments or securities evidencing the Permitted Investments described in clause (a) of the definition thereof from the time of purchase thereof until the time of sale or maturity. Any Permitted Investment with a stated maturity shall mature on or prior to the Distribution Date applicable to the Investor Account for which the Permitted Investments are held related to the earliest Due Period in which Collections or Interchange invested in such Permitted Investments were received and any funds received with respect to the maturity of a Permitted Investment shall be available in sufficient time to allow for any payments to be made to Investor Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, withdrawals from the Collections Account pursuant to Section 4.03(c) shall be deemed to be made from Collections and/or Interchange in the order in which such Collections and/or Interchange, as applicable, were deposited into the Collections Account.

On each applicable Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (less investment expenses) on funds on deposit in any Investor Account (other than any Series Principal Funding Accounts), if any, shall be deposited by the Trustee in a separate deposit account in the name of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, which account shall not constitute a part of the Trust, or such

interest and earnings shall otherwise be turned over by the Trustee to the Holder of the Seller Certificate not less frequently than monthly. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balances in such Investor Accounts for any reason under this Agreement or any Series Supplement, all investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

SECTION 4.03 Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections and Interchange. The Master Servicer shall apply all Collections received during and Interchange for each Due Period as described in this Section 4.03 and any applicable Series Supplements.

(b) Daily Collections. If, at any time, either (i) with respect to any Accounts, the then current Servicer with respect to such Accounts does not have a short-term debt rating of at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s (if the then current Servicer is the original Servicer with respect to such Accounts or an affiliate of the original Servicer) or a short-term debt rating of at least A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s (if the then current Servicer with respect to such Accounts is not the original Servicer or an affiliate of the original Servicer) or (ii) the conditions specified in clause (i) or pursuant to this clause (ii) are superseded by any conditions subsequently agreed to in writing by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate and either Rating Agency, and any of such subsequently agreed to conditions occurs; then, as promptly as possible after each Date of Processing with respect to the Receivables serviced by the applicable Servicer occurring on and after such event, but in no event later than two Business Days following such Date of Processing, such Servicer shall pay to, or at the direction of, the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collections Account, from the Collections received by such Servicer on or after the date of such event and recorded on such Date of Processing, an amount equal to the sum of the Required Daily Deposits with respect to such Servicer for each Series then outstanding with respect to such Date of Processing; provided, that if the first such deposit occurs following a period during which such Servicer has been using Collections in accordance with Section 3.03(b), then, on the sixth Business Day following the event giving rise to the making of Required Daily Deposits by such Servicer, in addition to the Required Daily Deposits for that day, such Servicer shall pay to, or at the direction of, the Master Servicer, the amount that would have been on deposit in the Collections Account with respect to such Servicer had such Servicer been making the Required Daily Deposits since the beginning of the Due Period, less any amounts previously so paid or deposited. Amounts made available to any Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 shall be repayable upon the occurrence of the conditions in this Section 4.03(b) in the manner and to the extent set forth herein.

(i) On or before each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collections Account that portion of Collections, Interchange and Recovered Amounts with respect to the related Due Period that are to be allocated on such Distribution Date and that have not previously been deposited into the Collections Account.

(ii) On or before each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Collections Account and pay to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate an amount equal to that portion of the sum of (x) the total amount of Finance Charge Collections for the related Due Period less the sum of the amount of Series Finance Charge Collections for each Series then outstanding for the related Due Period, (y) the amount of Principal Collections for the related Due Period less the sum of the amount of Series Principal Collections for each Series then outstanding for the related Due Period and (z) the total amount of Interchange for the related Due Period less the sum of the amount of Series Interchange for each Interchange Series then outstanding for the related Due Period, that is to be allocated to the Holder of the Seller Certificate on such Distribution Date.

(iii) On or before each Distribution Date, after giving effect to the payments made pursuant to clause (ii) above with respect to such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Collections Account and pay to each Group Collections Account an amount equal to the sum of (x) the sum of Series Finance Charge Collections for each Series that is a member of such Group, (y) the sum of the Series Principal Collections for each Series that is a member of such Group and (z) the sum of the Series Interchange for each Interchange Series that is a member of such Group.

(iv) Amounts on deposit in each Group Collections Account shall be distributed on or before each Distribution Date with respect to each such Group in accordance with the terms of the Series Supplements for each Series then outstanding.

(d) Aggregate and Net Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any Series Supplement on or before any Trust Distribution Date or Distribution Date on which Discover Bank is the Master Servicer, between the Master Servicer or the Holder of the Seller Certificate and the Investor Accounts, may be aggregated for such Trust Distribution Date or 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 each applicable account in satisfaction of all payments of the Holder of the Seller Certificate and the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and all Series Supplements for Series then outstanding, to the extent that all payment obligations of the Master Servicer and of the Holder of the Seller Certificate to each applicable account on such Trust Distribution Date or Distribution Date exceed all payment obligations of each such account to the Master Servicer and the Holder of the Seller Certificate on such Trust Distribution Date or Distribution Date. Any amounts payable on a given Trust Distribution Date to the Holder of the Seller Certificate pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(ii) hereof, or on a Distribution Date to the Master Servicer with respect to Monthly Servicing Fees pursuant to the provisions of any Series Supplement then outstanding, shall be deemed to have been paid if, and to the extent, Discover Bank (as Servicer) already is in possession of such amounts on such Distribution Date (or was in possession of such amounts for more than two Business Days during the related Due Period) as a result of its permitted use of Collections and Interchange during the prior Due Period pursuant to Section 3.03(b) and in accordance with the definition of “Required Daily Deposit” (as defined in the relevant Series

Supplement), except to the extent Discover Bank has deposited such amounts into the Collections Account.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 4.03 and the applicable provisions of any Series Supplement then outstanding, the allocations of Collections and Interchange pursuant to Section 4.03(c) and the applicable provisions of any Series Supplements then outstanding shall be deemed to be made on the date on which the Master Servicer delivers the Servicer’s Monthly Statement and the information required to be included in the Investor Certificateholders’ Monthly Statement with respect to each Series then outstanding to the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby authorized, upon receipt of the Servicer’s Monthly Statement and the information required to be included in the Investor Certificateholders’ Monthly Statement with respect to each Series then outstanding, together with written instructions from the Master Servicer, to immediately transfer to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate or the Master Servicer, as applicable, any funds in any Investor Account that would otherwise be paid to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate or the Master Servicer, as applicable, on the Trust Distribution Date or any Distribution Date related to such Due Period.

(e) Additional Funds. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may, from time to time, elect to add certain funds to the Trust (any such funds, “Additional Funds”) by delivering a written notice of such election to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies, which notice shall specify the method of calculating the amount of such funds to be added to the Trust as of any Distribution Date and the source of such funds. No such election shall become effective until Standard & Poor’s has advised the Master Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that such election would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn. During any time that Additional Funds are being added to the Trust, with respect to each Series then outstanding, on or before each Distribution Date with respect to each such Series, the Master Servicer shall cause an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Series Investor Interest and the denominator of which shall be the Aggregate Investor Interest and (ii) the amount of Additional Funds for the preceding Due Period, to be deposited into the Series Collections Account for each such Series. Such amounts shall then be allocated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Series Supplement.

SECTION 4.04 Sellers’ or Master Servicer’s Failure to Make a Deposit or Payment.

(a) If the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to make, or give instructions to make, any payment or deposit (other than as required by Section 2.05(b), 2.06(b) or 2.07(b) or in connection with Section 12.02) required to be made or given by the Master Servicer or such Seller, respectively, at the time specified in this Agreement (including applicable grace periods), the Trustee shall make such payment or deposit from the applicable Investor Account without instruction from the Master Servicer or such Seller (or, to the extent that sufficient funds are not available in the applicable Investor Account to make such payment and the relevant Series Supplement provides for Credit Enhancement for such purpose, shall make a drawing from the available Credit Enhancement, if any); provided, that the Trustee shall be required to make such payment, deposit or draw only to the extent it has sufficient information to allow it to determine

the amount thereof, which information the Trustee shall be deemed to have with respect to the amount of Certificate Interest payable on each Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, promptly provide the Trustee with all information necessary to allow the Trustee to make such a payment, deposit or draw. Such funds or the proceeds of such drawing shall be applied by the Trustee in the same manner in which such payment or deposit should have been made by such Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.

(b) If a drawing from a Credit Enhancement is made pursuant to this Section 4.04 in lieu of a deposit or payment from the applicable Investor Account, the Master Servicer or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall, as promptly as practicable and from the appropriate source, make the required payment, deposit or transfer or give the Trustee instructions to transfer the required payment or deposit in respect of which such drawing was made to reinstate the Credit Enhancement, as set forth in any applicable Series Supplement.

SECTION 4.05 Adjustments For Miscellaneous Debits and Credits and Fraudulent Charges.

(a) With respect to any Receivable to which any adjustment without payment by or on behalf of an Obligor has been made (an “Adjustment”) including, but not limited to, any Receivable that (1) was created as a result of a fraudulent or counterfeit charge, (2) the Servicer with respect to such Receivable otherwise adjusts, increases, reduces, modifies or cancels in accordance with the applicable Credit Guidelines without receiving cash or other payment therefor by the Obligor with respect to such Receivable, (3) was created in respect of merchandise returned by the Obligor thereunder, or (4) was created or cancelled through an Account Combination, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall increase or reduce, as the case may be, the aggregate amount of Receivables.

(b) In the event that the exclusion of the amount of an Adjustment from the calculation of the Seller Interest would cause the Seller Interest to be an amount less than zero, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall, no later than the Business Day following the last day of the Due Period during which such Adjustment is made, make a deposit into the Collections Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which such Adjustment causes the Seller Interest to be less than zero. Such deposit shall be applied as a Collection in accordance with Section 4.03.

SECTION 4.06 Reallocation of Series Among Groups. The Master Servicer may elect, at any time, by written notice to the Trustee and to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, and subject to the conditions set forth below, to move any Series from the Group of which it is then a member to any other Group, including without limitation to a new Group established at such time of which the Series to be moved is the only Series. Any such election by the Master Servicer shall become effective on the day specified in the notice of such election.

The Master Servicer may make such election only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) a Series may only be moved from one Group to another Group if the Series in both Groups have the same Distribution Date; (ii) the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Master Servicer reasonably believes that the movement

of the applicable Series would not (x) result in any delay in the payment of principal to the Investor Certificateholders of any Series then outstanding, or (y) cause an Amortization Event to occur with respect to any Series then outstanding; and (iii) the Rating Agencies shall have advised the Master Servicer and Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate that the movement of the applicable Series would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn.

ARTICLE V.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND REPORTS TO
INVESTOR CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

SECTION 6.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Investor Certificates of any Series or Class may be issued, subject to applicable laws and regulations, in bearer form (“Bearer Certificates”) with attached interest coupons and a special coupon (collectively, the “Coupons”), or in fully registered form (“Registered Certificates”) and shall be substantially in the form of the exhibits with respect thereto attached to the applicable Series Supplement. A Seller may elect at any time, by written notice to the Trustee, to have its fractional undivided interest in the Trust be (i) evidenced by a certificate or (ii) an uncertificated interest. If a Seller elects to have its fractional undivided interest in the Trust be uncertificated, it shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any certificate previously issued. If a Seller elects to have its fractional undivided interest in the Trust be evidenced by a certificate, such certificate shall be issued pursuant hereto, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, and shall upon issue be executed and delivered by a Seller to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided in Sections 2.02 and 6.03. Except as otherwise provided in any Series Supplement or in Section 6.11, Bearer Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $5,000, $50,000 and $100,000 and Registered Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 Fractional Undivided Interests and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If specified in any Series Supplement, the Investor Certificates of any Series or Class shall be issued upon initial issuance as a single certificate evidencing the Series Initial Investor Interest or Class Initial Investor Interest, as applicable, as described in Section 6.11. The Seller Certificate shall represent the entire Seller Interest. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate by any of its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.

(b) Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of Discover Bank shall not become invalid, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.

(c) No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement (or any Series Supplement), or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form attached to Exhibit D hereto (in the case of any certificated Seller Certificate) or attached to the appropriate exhibits to a Series Supplement, as applicable, executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the relevant Series Supplement. Bearer Certificates shall be dated the Series

Closing Date. All Registered Certificates and any certificated Seller Certificate shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 6.02 Book-Entry Certificates.

The Investor Certificates shall initially be registered in the Certificate Register in the name of CEDE & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, or any successor nominee designated by The Depository Trust Company or any successor Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Investor Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.02(c). Unless and until definitive, fully registered Investor Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the beneficial owners of the Investor Certificates pursuant to Section 6.02(c):

(i) the provisions of this Section 6.02(a) shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) any Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Investor Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.02(a) conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.02(a) shall control; and

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.02(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Investor Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement or any applicable Series Supplement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Investor Certificateholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Class Invested Amount of any Class, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners (acting through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants).

(b) Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given to Investor Certificateholders of any Class with respect to which Book-Entry Certificates have been

issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 6.02(c), the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to such Investor Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency.

(ii) the Master Servicer, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Series through the Clearing Agency, or

(iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Termination Event, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Invested Amount of any Class of such Series advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of such Class,

then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of each Class of such Series upon the occurrence of an event described in clauses (i) and (ii) above or all Certificate Owners of the applicable Class upon the occurrence of the event described in clause (iii) above, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners of such Class of such Series requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the applicable Investor Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates for the applicable Class. Neither any Seller nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency with respect to the applicable Class of the applicable Series of Investor Certificates shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

SECTION 6.03 Authentication of Certificates. On or about the Initial Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Seller Certificate to the Holder of the Seller Certificate. The Trustee also shall authenticate and deliver, upon the order of Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate, the Investor Certificates of each Series, if any, to be issued as of the Initial Closing Date. From time to time after the Initial Closing Date, pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof and the terms of the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Investor Certificates of additional Series (with the designation provided in the applicable Series Supplement), upon the order of Discover Bank on behalf of the

(c) Upon the issuance of any Certificate pursuant to this Section, the Sellers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses, including counsel fees, of the Sellers and the Trustee, and any Paying Agent or Transfer Agent connected therewith, and in addition a further sum not exceeding two dollars for each Certificate so issued in substitution.

SECTION 6.11 Global Certificate; Exchange Date.

(a) If specified in the related Series Supplement for any Series or Class, the Investor Certificates of such Series or Class, as applicable, will initially be issued as a single temporary global certificate (the “Global Certificate”) in bearer form, without Coupons, in the denomination of the Series Initial Investor Interest or the Class Initial Investor Interest, as applicable, and substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto attached to the related Series Supplement. The Global Certificate will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Certificates. The Global Certificate may be exchanged as described below for Bearer Certificates or Registered Certificates in definitive form (the “Definitive Euro-Certificates”).

(b) The Manager shall advise the Trustee, the Sellers, the Common Depositary, Clearstream Banking and Euroclear of the Exchange Date. Not later than the Exchange Date, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate will execute and deliver to the Trustee or its designated agent, in either case, outside the United States, definitive Bearer Certificates in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Series Initial Investor Interest or the Class Initial Investor Interest, as applicable, less, in either case, the aggregate principal amount of the Global Certificate expected to be issued to United States institutional investors, as described below. All Bearer Certificates so issued and delivered will have Coupons attached. The Global Certificate may be exchanged for Definitive Euro-Certificates only on or after the Exchange Date. A United States institutional investor may exchange the portion of the Global Certificate beneficially owned by it only for an equal aggregate principal amount of Registered Certificates bearing the applicable legend set forth in the form of Registered Certificate attached to the related Series Supplement and having a minimum denomination of $500,000. The Sellers may waive the $500,000 minimum denomination requirement if they so elect. Upon any demand for exchange for Definitive Euro-Certificates in accordance with this paragraph, the Sellers shall cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Definitive Euro-Certificates to the Holder (x) outside the United States, in the case of Bearer Certificates, and (y) according to the instructions of the Holder, in the case of Registered Certificates, but in either case only upon presentation to the Trustee of a written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 with respect to the Global Certificate or portion thereof being exchanged signed by Clearstream Banking or Euroclear and dated on or after the Exchange Date, to the effect that it has received in writing or by tested telex a certification substantially in the form of (i) in the case of beneficial ownership of the Global Certificate or a portion thereof being exchanged by a United States institutional investor pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the certificate in the form of Exhibit H-2 signed by the Manager which sold the relevant Certificates or (ii) in all other cases, the certificate in the form of Exhibit H-3, the certificate referred to in this clause (ii) being dated on or after the 15th day before the Exchange Date. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall cause the Global Certificate to be endorsed in accordance with paragraph (d) below. Any exchange as provided in this Section shall be made free of charge to the holders and the beneficial owners of the Global Certificate and to the beneficial owners of the Definitive Euro-Certificates issued in exchange, except that a person receiving Definitive Euro-Certificates must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such person does not receive such Definitive Euro-Certificates in person at the offices of Clearstream Banking or Euroclear.

(c) The delivery to the Trustee by Clearstream Banking or Euroclear of any written statement referred to above may be relied upon by the Sellers and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a corresponding certification or certifications has or have been delivered to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee, Clearstream Banking and Euroclear, as the case may be, shall retain each certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.11 for a period of four calendar years following the year in which such certificate is received.

(d) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Global Certificate for a Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates, such Global Certificate shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Trustee to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Euro-Certificate or Certificates. Until so

SECTION 6.12 Meetings of Certificateholders. (a) If, with respect to any Series then outstanding, any Bearer Certificates are issued and outstanding with respect to any Class of such Series, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Investor Certificateholders of any such Series or Class or of all such Series, to be held at such time and at such place as the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall determine for the purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of any covenant or condition set forth in, this Agreement, any applicable Series Supplement or the Investor Certificates or of taking any other action permitted to be taken by Investor Certificateholders hereunder or under any Series Supplement. Notice of any meeting of Investor Certificateholders, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given in accordance with Section 13.05, the first mailing and publication to be not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Investor Certificateholders a person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Bearer Certificates of the applicable Series or Class, as described in Section 6.12(d), or (ii) the Holder of or a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by the Holder of one or more Registered Certificates. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Investor Certificateholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Sellers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and their respective counsel.

(b) At a meeting of Investor Certificateholders, persons entitled to vote Investor Certificates evidencing a majority of the Series Invested Amount or the Class Invested Amount, as applicable, of the applicable Series or Class or the sum of the Series Invested Amounts for all applicable Series, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, the applicable Class Invested Amount and Series Invested Amount shall be calculated without taking into account the Class Investor Interest represented by any Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate of any Seller. No business shall be transacted in the absence of a quorum, unless a quorum is present when the meeting is called to order. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; in the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; at the reconvening of any meeting further adjourned for lack of a quorum, the persons entitled to vote Investor Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Series Invested Amount or the Class Invested Amount, as applicable, of the applicable Series or Class or the sum of the Series Invested Amounts for all applicable Series, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided above except that such notice must be given not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage of the Series Invested Amount or the Class Invested Amount, as applicable, or of the

sum of the Series Invested Amounts for all applicable Series, as the case may be, which shall constitute a quorum.

(c) Any Holder of a Registered Certificate who has executed an instrument in writing appointing a person as proxy shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining a quorum and be deemed to have voted; provided that such Holder of a Registered Certificate shall be considered as present or voting only with respect to the matters covered by such instrument in writing. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.01(b), any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Certificateholders duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all Investor Certificateholders of the applicable Class or Series, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

(d) The holding of Bearer Certificates for purposes of this Section 6.11 shall be proved by the production of such Bearer Certificates or by a certificate, satisfactory to the Master Servicer, executed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer, wherever situated, satisfactory to the Master Servicer. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Bearer Certificate bearing a specified serial number was deposited with or exhibited to such bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Bearer Certificates specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Bearer Certificate specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Certificate shall be produced, (ii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person or (iii) the Bearer Certificate specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. The holding of Registered Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate Register. The appointment of any proxy with respect to a Registered Certificate shall be proved by having the signature of the person executing the proxy guaranteed by any bank, trust company or recognized securities dealer satisfactory to the Master Servicer.

(e) The Trustee shall appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of persons entitled to vote evidencing a majority of the Series Invested Amount or the Class Invested Amount, as applicable, of the applicable Series or Class or the sum of the Series Invested Amounts for all applicable outstanding Series, as the case may be, represented at the meeting. No vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Investor Certificate challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as an Investor Certificateholder or proxy. Any meeting of Investor Certificateholders duly called at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

(f) The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Investor Certificateholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of Investor Certificateholders or proxies and on which shall be inscribed the serial number or numbers of the Investor Certificates held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their

verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Investor Certificateholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was published as provided above. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

SECTION 6.13 Special Provisions for Certain Series. Except with respect to the provisions of Sections 6.03, 6.04(b) and 6.06 and provisions relating specifically to the Seller Certificate, the foregoing provisions of this Article VI may be modified with respect to any Series to the extent provided in the applicable Series Supplement.

SECTION 6.14 Exchange of Investor Certificates for Seller Interest. In the event that any Seller becomes a Certificate Owner or an Investor Certificateholder (in the event that Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.02), Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate may cancel such Investor Certificates on a Distribution Date with respect to such Investor Certificates by providing notice to the Trustee of such cancellation; provided, however, that no Investor Certificates, except Class A Certificates, may be cancelled unless Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall have been advised by the Rating Agencies that such cancellation would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn. Such cancellation shall be deemed to occur after giving effect to all allocations and payments pursuant to Article IV hereof and the applicable provisions of the Series Supplements for each Series then outstanding as of such Distribution Date and the related Trust Distribution Date. Simultaneously with such cancellation, the Class Investor Interest of the applicable Class and the Series Investor Interest of the Series under which such Investor Certificates were issued shall be reduced, and the Seller Interest shall be increased, by the aggregate Class Investor Interest represented by such cancelled Investor Certificates, in each case as of the end of the related Due Period. Such reduction in the Class Investor Interest will not result in any change in any numerator for purposes of determining any Class Percentage with respect to such Class if a Fixed Principal Allocation Event with respect to such Series has previously occurred. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of any exchange of Investor Certificates for Seller Interest pursuant to this Section 6.14.

SECTION 7.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Discover Bank, or any Additional Seller.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any consolidation or merger of Discover Bank or any Additional Seller with or into any other corporation, or any consolidation or merger of any other corporation with or into Discover Bank or any such Additional Seller, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Discover Bank or any such Additional Seller to any other corporation lawfully entitled to acquire the same; provided, however, that

(ii) Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable, shall have been advised by the Rating Agency that the rating of any Investor Certificates of any Class of any Series then outstanding would not be lowered or withdrawn as a result of such transaction; and

provided, further, that, so long as Certificates are outstanding hereunder, Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable, covenants and agrees that any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer shall be upon the condition that the due and punctual performance and observance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be kept or performed by Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable, shall, by an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, be assumed by the corporation (if other than Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger, or which shall have received the transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Discover Bank, just as fully and effectually as if such successor corporation had been the original party of the first part hereto; and in the event of any such sale or transfer Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable, may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter.

(b) The obligations of Discover Bank or any Additional Seller hereunder shall not be assignable, nor shall any Person succeed to the obligations of Discover Bank or any Additional Seller hereunder, except in each case in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing subsection (a).

(c) Discover Bank or such Additional Seller, as applicable, shall notify the Rating Agencies on or before the date of any consolidation, merger or transfer of all or substantially all of its property and assets pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7.02.

SECTION 7.03 Limitation on Liability of Certain Persons. No recourse under or upon any obligation or covenant of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, or of any Certificate, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of any Seller or of any successor corporation, either directly or through such Seller, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or

otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Agreement and any Series Supplement and the obligations incurred hereunder and thereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by the incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of any Seller or of any successor corporation to such Seller, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations or covenants contained in this Agreement, any Series Supplement or in any of the Certificates or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or any Series Supplement or in any of the Certificates or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and any Series Supplement and the issuance of such Certificates. Any Seller and any director or officer or employee or agent of any Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

SECTION 7.04 Seller Indemnification of the Trust and the Trustee. Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of activities of the Sellers with respect to the Trust, the Trust or the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or any Series Supplement, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall not indemnify the Trustee if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or misconduct by the Trustee; and provided, further, that Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall not indemnify the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust with respect to any action taken by the Trustee at the request of the Investor Certificateholders; and provided, further, that Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall not indemnify the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders with respect to any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto) required to be paid by the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders in connection herewith to any taxing authority, which taxes shall be the sole obligation of the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders. Any such indemnification shall only be from assets of the Sellers, shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Trust in the Receivables and Interchange and shall not constitute a claim against any Seller in excess of the lesser of (i) such Seller’s assets available to pay such claim or (ii) the amount of such claim multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust which were originated by such Seller and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in the Trust. The obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 7.05 Transfer or Conveyance of Seller Certificate. It is the understanding of the parties that the Seller Certificate will be issued initially to Discover Bank, and that any Additional Sellers will enter into the Seller Certificate Ownership Agreement with

Discover Bank and, thereafter, hold the Seller Certificate, together with Discover Bank, as tenants-in-common. Except with respect to any such transfer of a portion of their interest in the Seller Certificate to any Additional Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or the transfer of all or part of any Seller’s interest in the Seller Certificate to an affiliate of Discover Bank that is included in the same “affiliated group” as Discover Bank for United States federal income tax purposes, no Seller may transfer, assign, sell or otherwise convey, pledge or hypothecate or otherwise grant a security interest in (each, for purposes of this Section 7.05, a “transfer”) any portion of the Seller Interest represented by the Seller Certificate; provided, however, that a Seller may transfer a portion of the Seller Interest so long as the agreements and other documentation relating thereto are consistent with, and subject to, the terms hereof and do not require any action prohibited or prohibit any action required on the part of the Master Servicer, the Sellers or the Trustee by the terms of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, or as necessary to protect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders; and, provided that such Seller shall have been advised by the Rating Agencies that such transfer would not cause the ratings of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such advice shall not be required if the principal objective of such conveyance or transfer is compliance with Regulatory Requirements, provided that Discover Bank shall notify the Rating Agencies of such conveyance or transfer. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, Regulatory Requirements shall mean Requirements of Law applicable to any Seller or any of its affiliates as a result of the affiliation of any Seller or any of its affiliates with a depository institution or applicable to any Seller or any of its affiliates as a depository institution, including, without limitation, any condition under such Requirements of Law that must be satisfied in order for any affiliate of any Seller to avoid being treated as a bank holding company (or any similar designation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as said act may be amended from time to time) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, notwithstanding such affiliation, or to avoid limitations under said act upon the activities in which affiliates of any Seller may engage.

SECTION 7.06 Corporate Actions. So long as any Investor Certificates are outstanding, each Seller’s board of directors will hold appropriate meetings or will take appropriate action by written consent in accordance with applicable state law to authorize all of such Seller’s corporate actions.

good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

Trustee with written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties as Master Servicer or Servicer to any Person other than Discover Bank or its affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

(b) failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any respect any other covenants or material agreements of the Master Servicer set forth in this Agreement, any Series Supplement or the Master Servicing Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby; or

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Master Servicer in this Agreement, any Series Supplement, the Master Servicing Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any Series Supplement or the Master Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Certificateholders of any Class of any Series and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby; or

(d) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

then, in the event of any such Master Servicer Termination Event, so long as the Master Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee, or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class materially adversely affected thereby, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders) (a

“Termination Notice”), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and any Series Supplements then outstanding. After receipt by the Master Servicer of such Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in a Successor Master Servicer; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Master Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Master Servicer of all authority of the Master Servicer to service the Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Master Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by the Master Servicer in any Investor Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables, and in assisting the Successor Master Servicer. The terminated Master Servicer shall promptly make available its electronic records relating to the Receivables and Interchange to the Successor Master Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Master Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly make available to the Successor Master Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables and the determining and reporting of Interchange in the manner and at such times as the Successor Master Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.01 shall require the terminated Master Servicer to disclose to the Successor Master Servicer information of any kind which the Master Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor Master Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.

(c) any representation, warranty or certification made by any Servicer in this Agreement, any Series Supplement, the Master Servicing Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any Series Supplement or the Master Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the rights of the Certificateholders of any Class of any Series and which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Trustee, or to such Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby; or

(d) any Servicer that is not subject to the bankruptcy laws of the United States of America shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against any Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or any Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(f) any order for relief against any Servicer that is subject to the bankruptcy laws of the United States of America shall have been entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises under any chapter of the federal bankruptcy laws, and such order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of any such Servicer under any other similar applicable federal law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee, sequestrator, or other similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of any such Servicer, or of any substantial part of the property of any such Servicer, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days;

then, in the event of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee, or the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class materially adversely affected thereby, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer and to the Servicer to which any such Servicer Termination Event relates (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders) (a “Termination Notice”), may terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement, any Series Supplements then outstanding and the Master Servicing Agreement. After receipt by such Servicer of such Termination Notice, and on the date that a Successor Servicer shall have been appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 with respect to such Servicer, all authority and power of such Servicer under this Agreement, any Series Supplements then outstanding and the Master Servicing Agreement shall pass to and be vested in such Successor Servicer; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments upon the failure of such Servicer to execute or deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. Such Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of such Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of such Servicer to service such Servicer’s Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all authority over all Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by such Servicer for deposit, or which have been deposited by such Servicer in any Investor Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to such Receivables, and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The terminated Servicer shall promptly make available its electronic records relating to the Receivables and Interchange to the Successor Servicer in such electronic form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly make available to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables and the determining and reporting of Interchange in the manner and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.02 shall require the terminated Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which such Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, such Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as such Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interest.

SECTION 10.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor Master Servicer and/or Successor Servicer.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Master Servicer or any Servicer of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02, the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to perform all servicing functions performed by it under this Agreement until the date specified in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Trustee, until a date mutually agreed upon by Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, and the Trustee. The Trustee shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor master servicer or servicer, as applicable, (the “Successor Master Servicer” or “Successor Servicer,” as applicable) and such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall accept

its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Trustee. In the event that a Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, ceases to act as such, the Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any bank or other corporation having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of credit card receivables as the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. The Trustee shall deliver notice to Standard & Poor’s of the proposed appointment of any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, and any such appointment of a Successor Master Servicer shall become effective only if Standard & Poor’s shall have advised the Trustee that such appointment would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered or withdrawn; provided, however, that no such advice shall be necessary if such appointment is made by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the terminated Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and protections relating thereto placed on or provided to the Master Servicer or Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.05 hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, except, if agreed upon by Discover Bank and any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, for the references in Section 11.05, which shall continue to refer to Discover Bank; provided, however, that Discover Bank shall not pay or reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05 for any expense, disbursement or advance of the Trustee related to or arising as a result of the negligence or bad faith of the Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer. Any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall expressly be authorized, subject to Section 8.06, to delegate any of its duties hereunder to Discover Bank on and after the date of any transfer of servicing pursuant to this Section 10.03.

(c) Upon its appointment, any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall enter into the Master Servicing Agreement, and the former Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall cease to be a party to the Master Servicing Agreement.

(d) In connection with the appointment of a Successor Master Servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of any Successor Master Servicer out of Collections and Interchange as it and such Successor Master Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Monthly Servicing Fee set forth in Section 3.03. The Holder of the Seller Certificate agrees that if the Master Servicer or any Servicer is terminated hereunder, it will, at the request of the Trustee or any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, deposit a portion of the Finance Charge Collections and Interchange that it is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(ii) to pay its share of the compensation of such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer.

(e) All authority and power granted to any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01, and shall pass to and be vested in the Holder of the Seller Certificate and, without limitation, Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. Any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Holder of the Seller Certificate in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables. Any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate in such electronic form as Discover Bank may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate in the manner and at such times as Discover Bank shall reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section 10.03 shall require any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer to disclose to any Seller information of any kind which such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, such Seller shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its interests.

SECTION 10.04 Notification to Investor Certificateholders. Upon the occurrence of any Master Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Termination Event, the Master Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Trustee shall give notice to the Investor Certificateholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Master Servicer or a Successor Servicer pursuant to this Article X, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies and to the Investor Certificateholders.

SECTION 10.05 Waiver of Past Breaches. The Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series affected by any default by the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Sellers may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates of such affected Class, waive the effect of any Master Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event or breach by any Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a failure to make any required deposits or payments in accordance with Section 4.03 or the applicable Series Supplement and except any Amortization Event arising under Sections 9.01(c), (d) or (e). Upon any such waiver of a past breach, such breach shall cease to exist with respect to such Class of such Series, and any breach arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement with respect to such Class of such Series. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other breach or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

ARTICLE XI.
THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 11.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Master Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Termination Event of which it has knowledge and after the curing of all Master Servicer Termination Events and all Servicer Termination Events that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Series Supplement. If any Master Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Termination Event of which the Trustee has knowledge has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Series Supplement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement or such Series Supplement. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable requirements of this Agreement or any Series Supplement discovered by the Trustee that would entitle a specified percentage of the Certificateholders of any Class of any Series to take any action pursuant to this Agreement or any Series Supplement.

(c) Subject to Section 11.01(a) no provision of this Agreement or any Series Supplement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;

(iii) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Master Servicer Termination Event referred to in Section 10.01(d) or any Servicer Termination Event referred to in Section 10.02(c) or with knowledge of any Amortization Event described in Sections 9.01(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (i) or (j) (but only, in the case of Section 9.01(i), if such Amortization Event relates to either a Master Servicer Termination Event described in Section 10.01(d) or a Servicer Termination Event described in Section 10.02(c)) unless a Responsible

Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer, any Servicer or any Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 10% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series materially adversely affected thereby; and

(iv) The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss attributable to the investment of funds in any Permitted Investment pursuant to this Agreement or any Series Supplement nor shall the Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Master Servicer with regard to its obligations in respect of funds on deposit in any Series Principal Funding Account (as set forth in each applicable Series Supplement). In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the payment of interest on any funds in its possession, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(d) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any Series Supplement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or any Series Supplement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer or any Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Series Supplement.

(e) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement or any Series Supplement, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Trust in any Receivable existing as of the Cut-Off Date or thereafter created or to impair the value of any Receivable now existing or hereafter created.

(f) Except as provided in Section 2.10 or an applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust including, without limitation, the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation for a Receivable initially assigned to the Trust under Section 2.01 or 2.10 hereof, (ii) add any other investment, obligation or security to the Trust, or (iii) withdraw from the Trust any (a) Receivables or (b) receivables in Charged-Off Accounts, except for a withdrawal permitted under Sections 2.05(b), 2.07(b), 2.11 (including the removal of Interchange), 3.02(b), 3.02(e), 12.01 or 12.02.

(g) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(h) If any Seller has agreed to transfer any of its credit receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, upon the written request of such Seller, the Trustee will enter

into such agreements with the transferee of such receivables as are necessary and desirable to separately identify the rights of the Trust and such other Person in such Seller’s receivables; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to enter into any agreement which could adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders; and provided, further, that such Seller shall provide the Rating Agencies with notice of any written agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 11.01(h).

(i) Any action, suit or proceeding brought in respect of one or more particular Class or Series shall have no effect on the Trustee’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder with respect to any Classes or Series not the subject of such action, suit or proceeding.

SECTION 11.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01:

(a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting on, or in refraining from acting in accord with, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Agreement by the proper party or parties;

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Series Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of any Master Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Termination Event (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement or any Series Supplement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;

(d) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or any Series Supplement;

(e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series which could be materially adversely affected if the Trustee does not make such investigation;

(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

(g) Except as may be required by Section 11.01(a) hereof, the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Receivables or the Accounts for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Sellers with their respective representations and warranties or for any other purpose.

SECTION 11.03 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Certificates. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates). Except as set forth in Section 11.16, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Series Supplement or of the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Sellers of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate in respect of the Receivables or any deficiency in amounts deposited in any Investor Accounts by the Master Servicer.

SECTION 11.04 Trustee May Own Investor Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Investor Certificates with the same rights with respect to such Investor Certificates as it would have if it were not the Trustee.

SECTION 11.05 The Master Servicer to Pay Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee (without reimbursement from any Investor Account or otherwise) upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith and except as provided in the following sentence. If the Trustee is appointed Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03, the provision of this Section 11.05 shall not apply to expenses, disbursements and advances made or incurred by the Trustee in its capacity as Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, and the compensation of the Trustee as Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall be determined in accordance with Section 10.03 or the relevant provisions of the Master Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 11.06 Master Servicer and Servicer Indemnification of Trustee. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or other expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against the Trustee (whether or not indemnified against by other parties) arising out of any acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as applicable, hereunder including, without limitation, acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or such Servicer relating to the administration of the Trust, the servicing and administration of the Receivables, the collection of payments due under the Receivables, the preparation of reports and other information with respect to the Receivables or the Trust, the execution and delivery of any documents relating to the Receivables or the Trust, and the registration or filing of any document with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service or any other securities or tax authority of any jurisdiction with respect to the Receivables or the Trust; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee to the extent any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury results from fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or misconduct by the Trustee or from action taken by the Trustee at the request of the Investor Certificateholders. The Master Servicer’s and each Servicer’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 11.07 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a bank or trust company in good standing, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a long-term debt rating from Xxxxx’x of at least Baa3 and from Standard & Poor’s of at least BBB- and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority.

(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Sellers, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.

11.07 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly notify Xxxxx’x and Standard & Poor’s of the occurrence of any such event.

SECTION 11.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 11.07 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 11.09 hereof.

(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Section 11.11. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement and any Series Supplement, specifically

including every provision of this Agreement or any Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Agreement or any Series Supplement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 11.12 Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to file tax returns, the Master Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants to prepare any tax returns required to be filed by the Trust and shall remit such returns to the Trustee for signature at least five days before such returns are due to be filed. The Master Servicer shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders and shall deliver such information to the Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Certificateholders. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Master Servicer with all such information known to the Trustee as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust, and shall, upon request, execute such returns. In no event shall the Trustee or the Master Servicer be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust or the Investor Certificateholders arising under any tax law, including, without limitation, federal, state, local or foreign income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith).

SECTION 11.13 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any Series Supplement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been obtained.

SECTION 11.14 Suits for Enforcement.

(a) If a Master Servicer Termination Event or any Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Servicer shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.02, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement or any Series Supplement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Series Supplement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or any Series Supplement or for the enforcement of any other, legal, equitable or other remedy as the Trustee, being advised by

counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of the rights of the Trustee or the Certificateholders.

ARTICLE XII.
TERMINATION

SECTION 12.01 Termination of Sellers’ Obligations; Termination of Trust.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Sellers, the Master Servicer, each Servicer and the Trustee created hereby shall terminate (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth), except with respect to the duties described in Sections 7.04, 11.06 and Section 12.02(b), upon the Final Trust Termination Date or, if earlier, at the option of the Sellers, on the day after the Distribution Date on which funds shall have been deposited in the Series Distribution Accounts sufficient to pay in full the Aggregate Investor Interest plus accrued and unpaid Certificate Interest at the applicable Certificate Rates on all Series then outstanding.

(b) If as of the Distribution Date with respect to each Series then outstanding in the month immediately preceding the month in which the Final Trust Termination Date occurs the Aggregate Investor Interest would be greater than zero (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals and deposits to occur on such date pursuant to applicable Series Supplements), Receivables (or interests therein), which shall be selected at random from the Receivables, in an amount sufficient to yield proceeds equal to the Aggregate Investor Interest plus any accrued and unpaid Certificate Interest with respect to each outstanding Series and any amounts owing to any Credit Enhancement Provider with respect to any outstanding Series pursuant to the applicable Series Supplement (after giving effect to such transfers, withdrawals and deposits) shall be sold on behalf of the Trust before the Final Trust Termination Date by an institution acceptable to the 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 or trust certificates similar to the Investor Certificates, and the proceeds therefor shall be paid to the Trust on or prior to the last Distribution Date with respect to each Series then outstanding. No Seller and no affiliate or agent of any Seller shall be permitted to bid for or purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 12.01(b); provided, however, that an affiliate or agent of any Seller may act as selling institution for the sale as specified in the preceding sentence, so long as such affiliate or agent does not act as principal in connection with such sale. The proceeds of such sale shall be treated as Collections on the Receivables and shall be allocated among outstanding Series and deposited in accordance with Section 4.03 and the applicable Series Supplements; provided, however, that any such proceeds received after the end of the Due Period related to the last Distribution Date before the Final Trust Termination Date shall nevertheless be deemed to have been received during such Due Period. During such period ending on such Distribution Date, the Master Servicer and the Servicers shall continue to process Collections on the Receivables and deposit such Collections

in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03. Section 12.03 will apply with respect to any Receivables not sold pursuant to this Section 12.01(b).

SECTION 12.02 Final Distribution with Respect to any Series.

(a) Written notice of the termination of any Series, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Investor Certificateholders of such Series may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at least two days’ prior notice from the Master Servicer to the Trustee) by the Trustee to Investor Certificateholders of such Series not later than the 10th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date (which shall be the Distribution Date upon which the deposit is made pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 12.01(b) or 12.02(a)) upon which final payment for such Investor Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein designated (which in the case of Bearer Certificates shall be outside the United States), (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Investor Certificates at the office or offices therein specified. The Master Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the information specified in Sections 3.07(a) and 3.07(b) covering the period during the transition period from January 1, 1998 through November 30, 1998, or the then-current fiscal year ended November 30, as applicable, through the date of such notice. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent and Xxxxx’x at the time such notice is given to such Investor Certificateholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01(a) or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series pursuant to Section 12.02(a) and the applicable Series Supplement, all funds then on deposit in the Series Distribution Account shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders of such Series and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay such funds to such Certificateholders upon surrender of their Certificates. In the event that all of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Certificates, shall be outside the United States). If within one year after the second notice all the Investor Certificates of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Investor Certificateholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Series Distribution Account held for the benefit of such Investor Certificateholders.

(c) If as of the Distribution Date in the month immediately preceding the month in which a Series Termination Date occurs, the Series Investor Interest with respect to such Series is greater than zero (after giving effect to all transfers, withdrawals and deposits to occur on such date), Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount sufficient to yield proceeds equal to the Series Investor Interest plus any accrued and unpaid Certificate Interest with respect to such Series and any amounts owing to the Credit Enhancement Provider with respect to such

Series pursuant to the Series Supplement for such Series, if applicable, on such Series Termination Date (after giving effect to such transfers, withdrawals and deposits) shall be sold on behalf of the Trust by an institution acceptable to the 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 or of trust certificates similar to the Investor Certificates; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of Receivables sold hereunder with respect to any Series exceed the product of (A) the aggregate amount of Receivables in the Trust and (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the Series Investor Interest of such Series and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Investor Interest, in each case, on such Distribution Date in the month immediately preceding the month in which such Series Termination Date 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 Distribution Date and shall be selected at random from the Receivables. The proceeds (the “Series Termination Proceeds”) therefrom shall be paid to the Trust and immediately deposited into the Series Distribution Account with respect to such Series and paid to the Investor Certificateholders of such Series and to the Credit Enhancement Provider or otherwise, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Series Supplement, on the Distribution Date with respect to such Series immediately following such deposit. Such payment shall be deemed to be the final distribution with respect to such Series. No Seller and no affiliate or agent of any Seller shall be permitted to bid for or purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 12.02(c); provided, however, that an affiliate or agent may act as selling institution for the sale as specified in the first sentence of this Section 12.02(c), so long as such affiliate or agent does not act as principal in connection with such sale.

SECTION 12.03 Sellers’ Termination Rights. Upon the termination of the Sellers’ obligations and responsibilities with respect to the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 and the surrender, if applicable, of any certificated Seller Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute to each Holder of the Seller Certificate such Holder’s pro rata share of any Receivables and Interchange and cash remaining in the Trust in respect of the Seller Interest. Such distribution will be made without recourse, representation or warranty except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by any Seller under this Agreement, the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivables, Interchange or interests in either. Such distribution shall transfer all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables and Interchange, whether then existing or thereafter created, and all proceeds of either except, if applicable, for amounts held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment including, without limitation, any document necessary to release the Trust’s security interest in such Receivables and Interchange and to release any filing evidencing or perfecting such security interest, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder of the Seller Certificate to vest in the Holder of the Seller Certificate all right, title and interest which the Trust had in such Receivables and Interchange.

ARTICLE XIII.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 13.01 Amendment.

(a) This Agreement and any Series Supplement may be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Sellers, the Trustee and the Servicers, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, for one or more of the following purposes:

(i) to add to the covenants and agreements of this Agreement or any Series Supplement for the benefit of the Investor Certificateholders of all or any Classes of all or any Series (and if such covenants and agreements are for the benefit of less than all Classes of all Series, stating that such covenants and agreements are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Class of such Series), or to surrender any right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Sellers, the Master Servicer or any Servicer; provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding; and provided, further, that the permitted activities of the Trust may be significantly changed pursuant to this Section 13.01(a) only with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Class Invested Amount represented by any Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller);

(ii) to add provisions to or change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, provided that any such addition, change or elimination shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding; and provided, further, that the permitted activities of the Trust may be significantly changed pursuant to this Section 13.01(a) only with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Class Invested Amount represented by any Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller);

(iii) to add provisions to or change any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement for the purpose of accommodating the addition of Participation Interests to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.10; or

(iv) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained in this Agreement, any Series Supplement or in any amendment to this Agreement or any Series Supplement.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Sellers, the Master Servicer and the Servicers in the execution of any amendment authorized or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. A copy of each amendment adopted pursuant to this Section 13.01(a) shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.

(b) This Agreement and any Series Supplement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Sellers, the Trustee and the Servicers with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Invested Amount of each Class adversely affected or, with respect to any Class the Investor Certificates of which are, in whole or in part, represented by Bearer Certificates, by vote of persons entitled to vote Fractional Undivided Interests evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Invested Amount with respect to such Class represented and voting at a meeting of the Investor Certificateholders of such Class at which a quorum is present, as described in Section 6.12, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Investor Certificateholders of any Class then outstanding; provided, however, that 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 by each Rating Agency and provided, further that no such amendment shall materially and adversely affect the interests of the Investor Certificateholders of any Class then outstanding by reducing in any manner the amount of, or delaying the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate of any Class without the consent of the affected Investor Certificateholders or reducing the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of each affected Class. For purposes of calculating whether a 66- 2/3% consent has been achieved pursuant to this Section 13.01(b), the applicable Class Invested Amount or Series Invested Amount shall be calculated without taking into account the Class Invested Amount represented by any Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller, and no Seller or affiliate or agent of a Seller shall be entitled to vote on any amendment pursuant to this Section 13.01(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permitted activities of the Trust may be significantly changed pursuant to this Section 13.01(b) only with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount (such percentage to be calculated without taking into account the Class Invested Amount represented by any Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller).

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Investor Certificateholders under this Section 13.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Investor Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.01, none of (i) the execution and delivery of any Series Supplement pursuant to Section 6.06, (ii) the addition of Receivables and Interchange to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.10, (iii) the removal from the

Trust of Receivables and Interchange pursuant to Section 2.11 or of receivables in Charged-Off Accounts pursuant to Sections 3.02(b) and 3.02(e), (iv) the addition or removal of any Seller or Servicer in connection with an addition to or removal from the Trust of Receivables and Interchange, or (v) the replacement of any Servicer, Master Servicer or Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, shall constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 13.01.

(f) For purposes of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 and 13.01(a) of this Agreement, any material adverse effect on any Credit Enhancement Provider of any Series shall be deemed to constitute a material adverse effect on the interests of the Investor Certificateholders of such Series.

The Trustee shall not bear responsibility for filing status.

(b) Within fifteen days after any Seller makes any change in its name, identity or corporate structure which would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of Sections 9-506 or 9-507 of the UCC or a comparable or successor provision thereto, however numbered, as in effect in the Applicable State with respect to such Seller, such Seller shall give the Trustee notice of any such change and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the Trust’s security interest in the Receivables and Interchange and the proceeds thereof.

(c) Each of the Sellers, the Master Servicer and each Servicer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change in the State under the laws of which such entity is organized, any change in the form of such organization (e.g., corporation to LLC) or any other change that under the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement to continue the perfection of the Trust’s security interest in the Receivables or Interchange and the proceeds of either, and shall file any such financing statements or amendments as may be necessary to continue such perfection.

(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement, any Series or the Trust, nor shall such death or incapacity entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except with respect to the Investor Certificateholders as provided in Section 13.01 hereof) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor, except as required by law, shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Series Supplement, unless such Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Trustee, and unless the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of any Class of any Series which may be materially adversely affected but for the institution of such action or proceeding shall have made, written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Certificateholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Certificateholders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement or any Series Supplement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 13.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

9. Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(NOT AN INTEREST IN OR OBLIGATION OF DISCOVER BANK AND NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.)

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS SELLER CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD UNLESS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND THE SATISFACTION OF CERTAIN OTHER REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT.

This certifies that Discover Bank, a Delaware banking corporation (“Discover”), which in its capacity as the registered holder of this Seller Certificate is hereinafter referred to as the “Holder”, is the registered owner of a fractional undivided interest in Discover Card Master Trust I (the “Trust”), the corpus of which consists of a portfolio of receivables (the “Receivables”) existing as of the Initial Cut-Off Date or thereafter created under certain open end credit card accounts for specified Persons (the “Accounts”) originated by Discover or an affiliate of Discover and transferred to the Trust by Discover or one or more Additional Sellers, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds (as defined in 9-102(64) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Applicable State) of such Receivables pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2004 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) by and between U.S. Bank National Association (formerly First Bank National Association, successor trustee to Bank of America Illinois, formerly Continental Bank, National Association), a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and Discover as Master Servicer, Servicer and Seller, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth herein below, benefits under any Credit Enhancement with respect to any series of Investor Certificates issued from time to time pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent applicable, Interchange and all other assets and interests constituting the Trust.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Holder is bound.

D-1

This Certificate is not permitted to be transferred, assigned, exchanged or otherwise conveyed except as expressly permitted in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is the Seller Certificate (the “Seller Certificate”), which 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, including any series supplements thereto which may be in effect from time to time, to be paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate. In addition to this Seller Certificate, Investor Certificates, each of which will represent a Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust, will be issued to investors from time to time pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and one or more series supplements thereto. The Seller Interest on any date of determination will be an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables at the end of the day immediately prior to such day of determination minus the Aggregate Investor Interest with respect to such Receivables at the end of such day.

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, Discover, any Additional Seller or any Servicer. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections respecting the Receivables and Interchange, all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including any series supplements thereto.

Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the principal of all Investor Certificates then outstanding has not been paid in full prior to the Final Trust Termination Date, the obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate on the Final Trust Termination Date.

Upon the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the surrender of this Seller Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holder of this Certificate such Holder’s pro rata share of any Receivables, Interchange and cash remaining in the Trust in respect of the Seller Interest (without recourse, representation or warranty except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by the Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivable or interest therein). Such distribution shall transfer all right, title and interest of the Trust in the Receivables and Interchange, whether such Receivables and Interchange are then existing or thereafter created, and all proceeds of either. The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder to vest in the Holder all right, title and interest which the Trustee had in the Receivables and Interchange.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
