This SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of March 30, 2006, is entered into by and between DISCOVER BANK, a Delaware banking corporation (formerly Greenwood Trust Company), as Master Servicer, Servicer and Seller (“Discover Bank”) and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (formerly First Bank National Association, successor trustee to Bank of America Illinois, formerly Continental Bank, National Association), as Trustee (the “Trustee”).

WHEREAS, Discover Bank and the Trustee entered into that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 1993, as amended, which was restated in its entirety by that certain Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2004, by and between Discover Bank and the Trustee, relating to Discover Card Master Trust I, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Global Amendment to Certain Series Supplements thereto, dated as of January 4, 2006 (as amended, the “Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 13.01(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, Discover Bank and the Trustee desire to amend Sections 1.01, 3.02, 3.07 and 3.08 of the Agreement and to add a new Article XIV to the Agreement, in a manner that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series currently outstanding, in order to (a) clarify the authority of Discover Bank, as Servicer, to commence collections actions on behalf of the Trust in its own name and (b) establish internal mechanisms to support the Trust’s compliance with Regulation AB (defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein contained, each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the benefit of the Certificateholders:

1. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

2. Amendments to the Agreement. Effective as of the date hereof:

(A) Article I, Section 1.01 (“Definitions”) of the Agreement is amended by adding the following terms, in alphabetical order therein:

"Commission” shall mean the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1934, as amended.

"Regulation AB” shall mean Subpart 229.1100 — Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1123, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the Commission in the adopting release (Asset-Backed Securities, Securities Act Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (January 7, 2005)) or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the Commission or its staff from time to time.

A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Investor Certificateholder by a request in writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.”
