For purposes of calculating the amount to be withdrawn from the Group Finance Charge Collections Reallocation Account and paid to the Trustee as administrator of the Credit Enhancement for application in accordance with the Credit Enhancement Agreements of the other applicable Series, the Series Investor Interest of the Series established hereby shall be treated as zero.
(9) Any amounts remaining on deposit in the Series Collections Account for this Series shall be withdrawn from the Series Collections Account and deposited into the Series Principal Collections Account.
(10) On each Distribution Date, an amount equal to the lesser of

shall be withdrawn from the Group Principal Collections Reallocation Account and deposited into the Series Principal Funding Account. The Principal Distribution Amount Shortfall shall be reduced by the amount of such deposit.
(13) After all allocations from the Group Principal Collections Reallocation Account to be made pursuant to any other Series Supplement for any Series that is a member of the same Group of which the Series established hereby is a member have been made, the amount remaining on deposit in the Group Principal Collections Reallocation Account shall be withdrawn from the Group Principal Collections Reallocation Account and deposited into the Collections Account.

(x) | the amount of the Seller Interest and |
(y) | the amount on deposit in the Collections Account |
shall be paid to the Holder of the Seller Certificate. If, after such payment, any amounts remain on deposit in the Collections Account, such amounts shall remain in the Collections Account for allocation as Principal Collections on the next Trust Distribution Date.

SECTION 23. [RESERVED].
SECTION 24. [RESERVED].
SECTION 25. Ratification of Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As supplemented and amended by this Series Supplement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as so supplemented by this Series Supplement shall be read, taken, and construed as one and the same instrument.
SECTION 26. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 27. Governing Law. This Series Supplement and all disputes arising out of or relating to it shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions that would result in the application of the law of any state other than New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
SECTION 28. Intention of Parties. The parties intend the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of Receivables, Interchange and all proceeds thereof in connection herewith to be a sale of financial assets in connection with a securitization and an absolute transfer for all purposes (other than for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes). The parties intend the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance of Receivables in connection herewith to be treated as a sale for accounting purposes.
SECTION 29. Amendment for Sale Accounting Purposes. If any Seller determines that an amendment to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is necessary or desirable for such Seller to maintain or establish the legal isolation of the Receivables from the insolvency estate of such Seller and such Seller cannot enter into such amendment pursuant to Section 13.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without obtaining the consent of a specified percentage of Investor Certificateholders, then the Master Servicer, the Sellers, the Trustee and the Servicers may nonetheless enter into such amendment without obtaining the consent of any Certificateholder of any Investor Certificates of this Series.
Any such amendment may include, without limitation, any changes necessary to convert the Trust from a “one-tier” securitization structure to a “two-tier” securitization structure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Investor Certificateholder that acquires an Investor Certificate of this Series will be deemed to have consented to any such amendment for all purposes, including for purposes of calculating whether the requisite consent percentage, if any, under Section 13.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been received for any amendment that requires such consent because of the lack of provisions comparable to this Section 29 in the Series Supplements for other Series then outstanding (except that Investor Certificates beneficially owned by any Seller or any affiliate or agent of any Seller will not be included in any such calculation).
16
SECTION 30. Election Under Delaware Asset-Backed Securities Facilitation Act. Without limiting any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or this Series Supplement, the parties hereto agree that (a) the transactions contemplated hereby constitute a “securitization transaction” and (b) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, including without limitation, the Asset-Backed Securities Facilitation Act Delaware Code Xxx. Tit. 6, § 2703A et seq: (1) all right, title and interest to the Receivables, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds of such Receivables and all Interchange (the “Transferred Assets”), which have been transferred to the Trust in connection with the securitization transactions contemplated herein, shall be deemed to no longer be the property, assets or rights of the Seller; (2) the Seller, its creditors or, in any insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller or the Seller’s property, a bankruptcy trustee, receiver, debtor, debtor in possession or similar person, shall have no rights, legal or equitable, whatsoever to reacquire, reclaim, recover, repudiate, disaffirm, redeem or recharacterize as property of the Seller any of the Transferred Assets; and (3) in the event of a bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller or the Seller’s property, such Transferred Assets shall not be deemed to be part of the Seller’s property, assets, rights or estate.
SECTION 31. Increases in Series Investor Interest. On the last day of each Due Period during which a New Issuance of a Series occurs or the Seller by direction to the Trustee causes the Series Investor Interest of any outstanding Series to increase in accordance with the Series Supplement for such Series, to and including to the last day of the Due Period relating to the Class Expected Final Payment Date, the Series Investor Interest of this Series shall automatically increase by an amount equal to the product of (x) the Designated SD Percentage and (y) the Series Investor Interest for such New Issuance or the amount of the increase of the Series Investor Interest for such Series, as applicable.
SECTION 32. Increases in Designated SD Percentage. The Master Servicer may increase the Designated SD Percentage from time to time if the following conditions have been satisfied:
(1) The Class SD Investor Certificateholder has requested in writing that the Designated SD Percentage be increased and has agreed to purchase the incremental Series Investor Interest that would result therefrom; and
(2) Discover Bank on behalf of the Holder of the Seller Certificate shall not be required to designate Additional Accounts or convey Participation Interests to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.10(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as a result of the increase in Series Investor Interest.
SECTION 33. Delay of the Class Expected Final Payment Date or Series Termination Date. The Master Servicer may from time to time elect to delay either the Class Expected Final Payment Date or the Series Termination Date, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 33. The Sellers may make such election only if the Trustee and the Rating Agencies shall have been notified of such delay in writing, at least 5 business days in advance of the scheduled Class Expected Final Payment Date or the Series Termination Date, as applicable, which notice shall set forth the new Class Expected Final Payment Date or Series Termination Date, as applicable.

[FORM OF THE REVERSE OF THE SERIES 2009-SD CERTIFICATES]
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Series Supplement. This Series 2009-SD Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, as each may be amended from time to time, the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder is bound.
This Series 2009-SD Certificate is one of a series of Certificates entitled “Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 2009-SD Credit Card Pass-Through Certificates” (the “Series 2009-SD Certificates”), each of 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 and the Series Supplement to be deposited in the Investor Accounts with respect to Discover Card Master Trust I, Series 2009-SD, or paid to the Series 2009-SD Certificateholders. The Series 2009-SD Certificates are collectively referred to herein as the Investor Certificates.
The aggregate interest represented by the Series 2009-SD Certificates at any time in the assets of the Trust shall not exceed an amount equal to the Class Investor Interest at such time. The Class Initial Investor Interest of the Series 2009-SD Certificates is $537,237,508; plus the face amount of any Series 2009-SD Certificates issued in an increase of the Series Investor Interest pursuant to Section 31 of the Series Supplement. The Class Invested Amount on any Distribution Date will be an amount equal to the Class Initial Investor Interest minus the aggregate amount of payments of Certificate Principal paid to the Series 2009-SD Certificateholders prior to such Distribution Date. In addition to the Series 2009-SD Certificates, a Seller Certificate has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which represents, at any time, the undivided interest in the Trust not represented by the Series 2009-SD Certificates or the investor certificates of any other Series of investor certificates then outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Sellers may from time to time direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of investor certificates, which will represent Fractional Undivided Interests in the Trust.
Principal on the Series 2009-SD Certificates is scheduled to be paid in installments on each Distribution Date on which funds are deposited into the Series Principal Funding Account for any other Series (other than Series 2007-CC) into the Principal Funding Account for the DiscoverSeries Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement, in each case in an amount equal to the Designated SD Percentage of such deposits. This amount will be distributed to the Series 2009-SD Certificateholders, subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 9(b) of the Series Supplement. Remaining principal is scheduled to be paid in a single installment on the Distribution Date related to the December 2011 Due Period (the “Class Expected Final Payment Date”). In any event, the final payment of principal will be made no later than the Business Day following the Distribution Date in July 2014 (the “Series Termination Date”). The Class Expected Final Payment Date and the Series Termination Date may be delayed pursuant to Section 33 of the Series Supplement.
A-4
Distributions with respect to this Series 2009-SD Certificate will be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder of record appearing in the Certificate Register (except for the final distribution in respect of this Series 2009-SD Certificate) without the presentation or surrender of this Series 2009-SD Certificate or the making of any notation thereon.
This Series 2009-SD Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Master Servicer. This Series 2009-SD Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain Collections respecting the Receivables and certain other assets of the Trust, all as more specifically set forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions, the amendment and modification of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, and the rights of Investor Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series Supplement, at any time by the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee in certain cases (some of which require confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor Certificates) without the consent of the Investor Certificateholders, and in all other cases with the consent of the Investor Certificateholders owning Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66- 2/3% of the Class Invested Amount of each such affected Class (and with confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the rating assigned to the Investor Certificates); provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) have a material adverse effect on any Series 2009-SD of Investor Certificateholders by reducing in any manner the amount of, or delaying the timing of, distributions which are required to be made on any Investor Certificate without the consent of the affected Investor Certificateholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of each Investor Certificateholder of each affected Class then of record; provided, further, that the permitted activities of the Trust may be significantly changed only with the consent of the Holders of Investor Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Aggregate Invested Amount; provided, further, that the Series Supplement may not be amended or modified without the consent of Investor Certificateholders evidencing at least 66 2/3 % of the Class Invested Amount, except pursuant to Section 29 of the Series Supplement. Any such amendment and any such consent by the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder, including the deemed consent described in the following sentence, shall be conclusive and binding on such Series 2009-SD Certificateholder and upon all future Holders of this Series 2009-SD Certificate and of any Series 2009-SD Certificate issued in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation thereof is made upon this Series 2009-SD Certificate. The Series 2009-SD Certificateholder, by acceptance of this Series 2009-SD Certificate, will be deemed to have consented for all purposes to any amendment that any Seller determines is necessary or desirable for such Seller to maintain or establish the legal isolation of the Receivables from the insolvency estate of Discover Bank.
The transfer of this Series 2009-SD Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Series 2009-SD Certificate for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written
A-5
instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder or such Series 2009-SD Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Series 2009-SD Certificates of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The transfer of this Investor Certificate is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement. In no event shall this Investor Certificate, or any interest therein, be transferred to an employee benefit plan, trust or account subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and not excepted under Section 4975(g). Any Holder of this Investor Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(l) of the Code, and not excepted under Section 4975(g), or (iii) an entity using assets to purchase such Certificates which constitute plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in such Holder.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Series 2009-SD Certificates are exchangeable for new Series 2009-SD Certificates evidencing like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interests, as requested by the Series 2009-SD Certificateholder surrendering such Series 2009-SD Certificates. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Master Servicer or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent, and any agent of any of them, may treat the person in whose name this Series 2009-SD Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trust nor the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, nor any agent of any of them or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except in certain circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Subject to certain conditions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement, if the principal of the Investor Certificates has not been paid in full prior to the Series Termination Date, the obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplement with respect to the Investor Certificates shall terminate on the Series Termination Date.

1 | The Discover Card Master Trust I is required to maintain Principal Receivables greater than or equal to the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance. The Minimum Principal Receivables Balance is generally calculated by dividing the Investor Interest by 93%. If the Principal Receivables in the Trust are less than the Minimum Principal Receivables Balance, and Discover Bank fails to assign sufficient Receivables to eliminate the deficiency, then an amortization event would occur. |
2 | Only the portion of Trust Collections required to be deposited under the Trust’s Required Daily Deposit provisions will typically be deposited in the Trust Collections Account each month, and these required amounts may vary markedly from month to month depending on whether any Investor Certificates are maturing on the following distribution date (in which case additional Principal Collections are retained in such account). Accordingly, the amount deposited in the account is not meaningful as an indicator of Trust performance. |
3 | For purposes of allocations to investors, all recoveries are treated as Finance Charge Collections and are included as such in Item 3 above. |
