Subordination of Class B

|
Available Subordinated
Amount
|
Subseries 1: | |
Initially, equal to 12.5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest for Subseries 1, which may be reduced, reinstated or increased from time to time. The Available Subordinated Amount for Subseries 1 will increase by: | ||
• 0.5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest
for Subseries 1 after a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event, if Discover Bank has not made
an Effective Alternative Credit Support Election
for Subseries 1; |
||
• 4.5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest
for Subseries 1 after an Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election, if a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event has occurred for Subseries 1; or |
||
• 5.0% of the Series Initial Investor Interest
for Subseries 1 after an Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election, if a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event has not occurred for Subseries
1. |
||
The “Series Initial Investor Interest” for Subseries 1 is equal to the total initial principal amount of the Floating Rate Class A, Subseries 1 Certificates plus the total initial principal amount of the Floating Rate Class B, Subseries 1 Certificates. If additional certificates are issued in Subseries 1 after the initial issuance date for Series 2007-3, the “Series Initial Investor Interest” will be deemed to include the initial principal amount of the additional certificates from and after the date of such additional issuance. | ||
Subseries 2: | ||
Initially, equal to 12.5% of the Series Initial Investor Interest for Subseries 2, which may be reduced, reinstated or increased from time to time. The Available Subordinated Amount for Subseries 2 will increase by: | ||

an Effective Alternative Credit Support Election
for Subseries 2; |
||

Supplemental Credit Enhancement Event has not
occurred for Subseries 2. |
||
The “Series Initial Investor Interest” for Subseries 2 is equal to the total initial principal amount of the Floating Rate Class A, Subseries 2 Certificates plus the total initial principal amount of the Floating Rate Class B, Subseries 2 Certificates. If additional certificates are issued in Subseries 2 after the initial issuance date for Series 2007-3, the “Series Initial Investor Interest” will be deemed to include the initial principal amount of the additional certificates from and after the date of such additional issuance. | ||

“Effective Alternative Credit Support Election” will mean an effective election made by Discover Bank to change the way in which the trust allocates finance charge collections to Subseries 1 or Subseries 2. To make this election, Discover Bank must arrange for the deposit of additional funds into the cash collateral account for Subseries 1 or Subseries 2, discussed below, as appropriate. | ||

The Receivables
|
The receivables in the Accounts included in the trust as of March 31, 2007 totaled $35,167,231,501.38. | |
Interchange
|
Subseries 1 and Subseries 2 will each be eligible for allocations and reallocations of interchange. Series issued prior to November 3, 2004 will not receive allocations or reallocations of interchange. | |
Group Excess Spread and
Interchange Subgroup Excess
Spread
|
The certificates of each subseries (which are treated as a “series”) initially will be included in the “Group One” group of |

series. The three-month rolling average Group Excess Spread Percentage, as defined below, was 4.84% for the Distribution Date in April 2007. The Group Excess Spread Percentage excludes the effects of interchange. The three-month rolling average Interchange Subgroup Excess Spread, as defined below, as an annualized percentage of the Series Investor Interest for all series entitled to interchange, was 7.87% for the Distribution Date in April 2007. | ||
“Series Excess Spread” for a series or subseries is generally an amount equal to | ||
• the total amount of finance charge
collections, investment income, interchange and
other similar collections allocable to such
series or subseries for the prior calendar
month, minus |
||
• the total amount of interest and certain
fees payable for such series or subseries and
the amount of receivables allocable to such
series or subseries that have been charged off
as uncollectible for the prior calendar month. |
||
“Group Excess Spread” for any Distribution Date is the sum of the Series Excess Spreads (modified as discussed below) for all series, including each subseries, in Group One. “Group Excess Spread Percentage” for any Distribution Date is a percentage calculated by multiplying: | ||
• twelve, by |
||
• the sum of the Series Excess Spreads
(modified as discussed below) for all series,
including each subseries, in Group One, |
||
and then dividing the product by an amount equal to the sum of all investor interests for each series or subseries in Group One, in each case for the Distribution Date. For purposes of determining the Group Excess Spread and the Group Excess Spread Percentage, we will subtract interchange from the Series Excess Spread for each series or subseries that otherwise has positive Series Excess Spread. However, if this subtraction would cause the Series Excess Spread to be negative, Series Excess Spread for such series or subseries will be deemed to be zero. | ||
“Interchange Subgroup Excess Spread” for any Distribution Date means the sum of: | ||
• all amounts deposited in the Group Interchange
Reallocation Account for all series or subseries to
which interchange is allocated, and |
||
• the Interchange Subgroup Allocable Group Excess
Spread; |
This material was not prepared by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx research department. Please refer to
important information and qualifications at the end of this material.

where “Interchange Subgroup Allocable Group Excess Spread” means, for any Distribution Date: | ||
• if the Group Excess Spread is positive or
zero, an amount equal to the Group Excess
Spread multiplied by the sum of the investor
interests for each series or subseries in Group
One to which interchange is allocated, divided
by |
||
• an amount equal to the sum of all investor
interests for each series or subseries in Group
One; |
||
and |
||
• if the Group Excess Spread is negative, an
amount equal to the Group Excess Spread
multiplied by the sum of the Series Excess
Spreads for each series or subseries in Group
One to which interchange is allocated and for
which the Series Excess Spread was negative,
divided by |
||
• an amount equal to the sum of the Series
Excess Spreads for each series or subseries in
Group One for which the Series Excess Spread
was negative. |
||
Rating of the Investor
Certificates
|
The trust will only issue the certificates if Standard & Poor’s has rated the Class A Certificates for each subseries “AAA” and the Class B Certificates for each subseries at least “A” and Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. has rated the Class A Certificates for each subseries “Aaa” and has rated the Class B Certificates for each subseries at least “A2.” | |
ERISA Considerations
|
Discover Bank believes that employee benefit plans subject to ERISA may acquire Class A Certificates for any subseries; however, advisers to these plans should consult their own counsel. Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA and entities whose assets are considered to be assets of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA may not acquire the Class B Certificates for any subseries. | |
Underwriting
|
It is anticipated that the underwriters named below will purchase from Discover Bank, as an allocation of the Class A, Subseries 1 and Subseries 2 Certificates and Class B, Subseries 1 and Subseries 2 Certificates, the respective percentages set forth opposite their names less underwriting discounts and commissions: | |

Listing
|
Discover Bank expects to list the certificates on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trade the certificates on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in accordance with the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, to facilitate trading in non-U.S. markets. |

Summary Historical Performance of the Accounts
The information below about the performance of the trust Accounts for historical periods
reflects only the performance of Accounts that were designated for the trust during the specified
time period and has not been restated to reflect the performance of Accounts added after such time
period. Accordingly, such information does not fully reflect the historical performance of the
Accounts currently comprising the trust Accounts. The performance information included in this
section is generally consistent with the type of performance information that will be provided in
the monthly certificateholders statement for each subseries.
Summary Yield Information. The annualized monthly yield for the Accounts is calculated by
dividing the monthly finance charges by beginning monthly principal receivables multiplied by
twelve. Monthly finance charge collections include periodic finance charges, cash advance item
charges, late fees, overlimit fees and other fees, all net of write-offs. Recoveries received with
respect to Receivables in the trust that have been charged off as uncollectible, including the
proceeds of charged-off receivables that Discover Bank has removed from the trust, are included in
the trust and are treated as Finance Charge Collections. Discover Bank allocates, to the extent
applicable for any series, including any subseries, issued on or after November 3, 2004,
interchange, which is treated similarly to finance charges. The aggregate yield is the average of
the monthly annualized yields for each period shown. The aggregate yield for the Accounts is
summarized as follows:

After November 30, 2003, when we refer to yield excluding recoveries and interchange, we
are excluding only recoveries related to the charge-off of principal, but are including recoveries
related to finance charge and fee write-offs. These finance charge and fee recoveries were
previously reflected in net charge-offs, but net charge-offs now includes only charge-offs and
recoveries of principal. See the chart “Summary Charge-Off Information.” For purposes of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all recoveries of principal as well as recoveries of finance
charges and fees are treated as Finance Charge Collections, and are reflected in

the series supplement. Other certificates issued after this series, including each subseries, may
also be eligible to receive allocations and reallocations of interchange if so provided in their

COMPOSITION AND HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
OF THE DISCOVER CARD PORTFOLIO
OF THE DISCOVER CARD PORTFOLIO
As of February 28, 2007 the Discover Card portfolio was comprised of 41.9 million
Discover Card accounts with approximately 18.3 million active accounts. We have set forth
information below about the accounts that comprise the Discover Card portfolio.
Composition and Distribution of the Discover Card Portfolio
Geographic Distribution. The Discover Card portfolio is not highly concentrated
geographically. As of February 28, 2007, the following nine states comprised at least 50% of the
receivables balances:
Percentage of Total | ||||
State | Receivables | |||
California |
9.6 | % | ||
Texas |
8.5 | % | ||
New York |
6.8 | % | ||

Michigan |
3.7 | % | ||
New Jersey |
3.6 | % | ||
Other States |
47.1 | % | ||
Total |
100.0 | % | ||
Since the largest amounts of outstanding receivables were with cardholders whose billing
addresses were in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
New Jersey, adverse changes in the business or economic conditions in these states could have an
adverse effect on the performance of the receivables.
Credit Limit Information. As of February 28, 2007, the accounts in the Discover Card
portfolio had the following credit limits:

risks pertaining to the business and financial condition of the issuer and the security/instrument.
A secondary market may not exist for these securities. For Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx customers who are
purchasing or writing exchange-traded options, please review the publication ‘Characteristics and
Risks of Standardized Options,’ which is available from your account representative.
The value of and income from investments may vary because of changes in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, default rates, prepayment rates, securities/instruments prices, market indexes,
operational or financial conditions of companies or other factors. There may be time limitations on
the exercise of options or other rights in securities/instruments transactions.
Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Estimates of future performance
are based on assumptions that may not be realized. Actual events may differ from those assumed and
changes to any
assumptions may have a material impact on any projections or estimates. Other events not taken into
account may occur and may significantly affect the projections or estimates. Certain assumptions
may have been made for modeling purposes only to simplify the presentation and/or calculation of
any projections or estimates, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx does not represent that any such assumptions will
reflect actual future events. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that estimated returns or
projections will be realized or that actual returns or performance results will not materially
differ from those estimated herein. Some of the information contained in this document may be
aggregated data of transactions in securities or other financial instruments executed by Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx that has been compiled so as not to identify the underlying transactions of any particular
customer.
