Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of July 26, 2007, as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement, dated as of July 26, 2007, and a Terms Document having the date stated in the applicable Terms Agreement (as so supplemented and as otherwise modified or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”). The Issuer is organized pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2007 (as modified or amended from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between Discover Bank, as Beneficiary, and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). The Notes will be secured by certain assets of the Issuer, including the

Collateral Certificate referred to below (collectively, the “Collateral”) transferred to the Issuer pursuant to the Collateral Certificate Transfer Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2007, by and between the Issuer and Discover Bank.

Discover Bank has conveyed receivables (the “Receivables”) generated from time to time in certain designated credit card accounts (the “Accounts”) owned by Discover Bank, collections thereon and certain related property to the Discover Credit Card Master Trust I (the “Master Trust”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2004 (as modified or amended from time to time, the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), as supplemented by the Series 2007-CC Supplement (the “Series Supplement”), dated as of July 26, 2007, among Discover Bank, as Master Servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and as Seller (in such capacity, the “Seller”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Master Trust Trustee”). References herein to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise specified, shall mean the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as supplemented by the Series Supplement. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Collateral Certificate Transfer Agreement, Discover Bank has transferred to the Issuer an undivided interest in certain assets of the Master Trust as represented by a collateral certificate (the “Collateral Certificate”) and has caused the Master Trust to issue the Collateral Certificate to the Issuer. The Collateral Certificate is an investor certificate under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Unless otherwise stated herein or in the applicable Terms Agreement, as the context otherwise requires or if such term is otherwise defined in the Indenture or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each capitalized term used or defined herein or in the applicable Terms Agreement shall relate only to the Notes designated in the applicable Terms Agreement and shall not relate to any other series, classes or tranches of notes issued by the Issuer.

Each offering of each tranche of Notes to which this Agreement applies made pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined herein) will be made through you or through you and other

underwriters for whom you are acting as a representative or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you. Any action taken by you as a representative will be binding on all the Underwriters. Whenever Discover Bank and the Issuer determine to make such an offering of Notes to which this Agreement shall apply, Discover Bank, the Issuer and one or more Underwriters (as defined herein) will enter into an agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) providing for the sale of the Notes to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, (i) you, (ii) you and such other underwriters who execute the Terms Agreement and agree thereby to become obligated to purchase the Notes from the Issuer, or (iii) you and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (in each case, the “Underwriters”). The representatives of the Underwriters may be referred to herein individually as a “Representative” and collectively as the “Representatives”. Such Terms Agreement shall specify the initial principal amount of the Notes to be issued and their terms not otherwise specified in this Agreement, the price at which such Notes are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Issuer, the aggregate amount of Notes to be purchased by you and any other Underwriter that is a party to such Terms Agreement and the initial public offering price or the method by which the price at which such Notes are to be sold will be determined. The Terms Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such offering of the Notes for which a Terms Agreement is entered into will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement, and this Agreement and such Terms Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters participating in the offering of such Notes. At or prior to the Time of Sale (as defined in the applicable Terms Agreement), Discover Bank will have prepared the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the applicable Terms Agreement).

(vi) The Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date prior to the Time of Sale, and the Prospectus, as of its date, in each case after giving effect to Rule 412 under the Act, each appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that except as set forth in paragraph (vii) of the opinion, such counsel need express no view with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules, or other financial data, included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

the requirements of Rule 312 of Regulation S-T regarding retaining all versions of such information for not less than five years and furnishing it to the Commission or its staff upon request, the use of a Web site to satisfy the requirements for the Prospectus contained in Item 1105 of Regulation AB regarding static pool information is permitted pursuant to Rule 312 of Regulation S-T.

In rendering such opinion, counsel may rely to the extent they deem appropriate upon certificates of officers or other executives of Discover Bank and their affiliates and of public officials as to factual matters and upon opinions of other counsel. Such counsel shall also state that nothing has come to their attention which has caused them to believe that the Registration Statement as of its effective date or the Time of Sale Information as of the Time of Sale or the Prospectus as of the date thereof and as of the applicable Time of Delivery (other than financial, statistical and accounting data therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer, material to the Issuer considered as a whole, is subject, nor will such action result in any material violation of the provisions of the Trust Agreement, or to the best knowledge of such counsel, any statute or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court or any Federal, State or other regulatory authority or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer other than the Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations under each of such acts and other than the securities laws of the various states or other jurisdictions which are applicable to the issue and sale of the Notes and other state laws relating to the perfection of security interests; and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or filing with, any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental body is required for the issue and sale of the Notes except as may be required under the Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Investment Company Act and securities laws of the various states or other jurisdictions which are applicable to the issue and sale of the Notes and except for the filing of any financing or continuation statement required to perfect or continue the Issuer’s interest in the Collateral.

(iv) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on the part of the Issuer and as to the Issuer is a valid and binding instrument enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the foregoing may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equity principles; the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; the Issuer is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act; and the Notes have been duly authorized and (assuming their due authentication by the Indenture Trustee) have been duly executed, issued and delivered and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer in accordance with their terms, enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, except as the foregoing may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equity principles.

(i) Delaware counsel to the Issuer shall have furnished you with an opinion, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to you and your counsel, to the effect that:

(i) The Issuer has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del.C. § 3801, et seq. (referred to in this subsection as the “Act”).

(ii) The Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee and the Beneficiary, enforceable against the Owner Trustee and the Beneficiary, in accordance with its terms.

(v) The Trust Certificate has been validly issued and is entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

(vi) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Trust Documents, the Notes or the Trust Certificate, nor the consummation by the Issuer of any of the transactions by the Issuer contemplated thereby, requires the consent or approval of, the withholding of objection on the part of, the giving of notice to, the filing, registration or qualification with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware, other than the filing of the certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State (which certificate of trust has been duly filed) and the filing of any financing statements with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Trust Documents.

(vii) Neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Trust Documents, nor the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated thereby, is in violation of the Trust Agreement or of any law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to the Issuer.

(ix) Under § 3808(a) and (b) of the Act, the Issuer may not be terminated or revoked by the Beneficiary, and the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of any holder of the Owner Certificate (as defined in the Trust Agreement) shall not result in the termination or dissolution of the Issuer, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement.

(x) The Beneficiary is the sole beneficial owner of the Issuer.

(j) At the Time of Delivery, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the respective date of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to you.

(k) (i) Discover Bank and its affiliates (whether or not consolidated) considered as a whole, shall not have sustained, since the date of the latest audited financial statement previously delivered to you, any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree and (ii) since the date of the Terms Agreement there shall not have been any material change in the capital stock accounts or long-term debt of Discover Bank or any material adverse change in the general affairs, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of Discover Bank and its affiliates (whether or not consolidated) considered as a whole, the effect of which in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), in your judgment renders it inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented.

(l) Subsequent to the date of the Terms Agreement none of (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, or any successor entity of any such exchange, (ii) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by

(m) At or prior to the Time of Delivery, the Notes shall be assigned the ratings by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies Inc. (“Standard & Poor’s”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) set forth in the Terms Agreement.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions or certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to you and your counsel, this Agreement and all its obligations hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time before, the Time of Delivery by you. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Issuer and Discover Bank in writing or by telephone or telecopy confirmed in writing prior to the Time of

Delivery.

8. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Discover Bank and the Issuer will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement and will reimburse each Underwriter for any expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with qualification of the Notes and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably designate (including reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel) and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, for the cost incurred with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Except as specifically provided in this Section and in Section 9 of this Agreement, each Underwriter will pay all of its own costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), transfer taxes on resales of Notes by it and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it may make.

(b) If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because of (i) any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement is not satisfied, (ii) any refusal, inability or failure on the part of Discover Bank or the Issuer to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any Underwriter or (iii) any breach of a representation or warranty herein on the part of Discover Bank or the Issuer other than solely by reason of a default by any Underwriter, Discover Bank will reimburse the Underwriters upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase, sale and offering of the Notes.

9. (a) Discover Bank will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act and the respective officers, directors and employees of each such person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,

joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto furnished by Discover Bank or the Issuer, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that Discover Bank shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Discover Bank by any Underwriter through you expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that Discover Bank shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any person controlling such Underwriter under the indemnity agreement in this subdivision (a) with respect to the Preliminary Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter or controlling person results solely from the fact that such Underwriter sold Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the Time of Sale, the Time of Sale Information (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Time of Sale Information that corrected or superseded any information previously provided to the Underwriters) if Discover Bank had previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless

Discover Bank against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Discover Bank may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Issuer and Discover Bank by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein; and will reimburse Discover Bank for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Discover Bank in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Within a reasonable period after receipt by an indemnified party under subdivision (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action with respect to which indemnification is sought under such subdivision or contribution may be sought under subdivision (d) below, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other

than reasonable costs of investigation. If the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party, subject to the approval of the indemnifying party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the expenses of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties (including one local counsel, if necessary, in the applicable jurisdiction). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subdivision (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Discover Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Discover Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or

omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Discover Bank on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer or Discover Bank bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Discover Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission of Discover Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters, directly or through you, on the other hand. With respect to any Underwriter, such relative fault shall also be determined by reference to the extent (if any) to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) result from the fact that such Underwriter sold the Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, copies of the Time of Sale Information if Discover Bank had previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter. Discover Bank and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subdivision (d) were determined by per capita allocation among the indemnifying parties (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subdivision (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subdivision (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by it in connection with such Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any

damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters in this subdivision (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of Discover Bank under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which Discover Bank may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of Discover Bank and to each person, if any, who controls Discover Bank within the meaning of the Act.

(f) For clarification purposes, in this Section 9 only, it is understood that the terms “Preliminary Prospectus” and “Prospectus” include static pool information required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 1105 of Regulation AB under the Act, without regard to whether such information is deemed to be a part of a prospectus under Item 1105(d) of Regulation AB under the Act.

10. Each Underwriter hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other person or entity in instituting against the Issuer or the Master Trust any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under United States federal or state laws, or other bankruptcy or similar laws, in connection with any obligations owing to it until at least one year and one day from the date of the Time of Sale or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect. Each Underwriter hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer’s obligations hereunder will be solely the corporate obligations of the Issuer, and that such Underwriter will not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Issuer with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions

contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, recourse in respect of any obligations of the Issuer to each Underwriter will be limited to such funds that are available to the Issuer under the Indenture and upon the exhaustion thereof all obligations of, and claims against, the Issuer arising from this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

11. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Notes which it has agreed to purchase hereunder and under the Terms Agreement, you may in your discretion arrange for yourselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Notes on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then Discover Bank and the Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties to purchase such Notes on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify Discover Bank and the Issuer that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, or either Discover Bank or the Issuer notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Notes, you, Discover Bank, or the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Notes for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or in any other documents or arrangements, and Discover Bank and the Issuer agree to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Notes.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you, Discover Bank and the Issuer as provided in subdivision (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then Discover Bank and the Issuer shall have

the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Notes which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and under the Terms Agreement and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of the Notes which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and under the Terms Agreement) of the Notes of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you, Discover Bank and the Issuer as provided in subdivision (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Notes which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, as referred to in subdivision (b) above, or if neither Discover Bank nor the Issuer exercises the right described in subdivision (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Terms Agreement relating to the Notes shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, Discover Bank or the Issuer, except for the expenses to be borne by Discover Bank and the Issuer as provided in Section 9 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

12. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of Discover Bank, the Issuer and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, Discover Bank or any officer or director or controlling person of Discover Bank, or the Issuer or any officer or director or controlling person of the Issuer, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity agreement of Discover Bank and the Issuer in subdivisions (a) and (e) of Section 9 hereof, the representations and warranties in subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 1 hereof and any representation or

warranty as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented contained in any certificate furnished by Discover Bank or the Issuer pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 7 hereof, insofar as they may constitute a basis for indemnification for liabilities (other than payment by Discover Bank or the Issuer of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) arising under the Act, shall not extend to the extent of any interest therein of an Underwriter or a controlling person of an Underwriter if a director, officer or controlling person of Discover Bank or the Issuer when the Registration Statement becomes effective or a person who, with his consent, is named in the Registration Statement as being about to become a director of Discover Bank or the Issuer, is a controlling person of such Underwriter, except in each case to the extent that an interest of such character shall have been determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction as not against public policy as expressed in the Act. Unless in the opinion of counsel for Discover Bank and the Issuer the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, Discover Bank and the Issuer will, if a claim for such indemnification is asserted, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such interest is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

If the Terms Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, neither Discover Bank nor the Issuer shall be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Notes subject to such Terms Agreement except as provided in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason the Notes are not delivered by or on behalf of Discover Bank and the Issuer as provided herein, Discover Bank and the Issuer will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes, but neither Discover Bank nor the Issuer shall then be under any further liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Notes except as provided in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof.

14. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you, or by the Representatives on behalf of you.

No purchaser of any of the Notes from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

16. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

17. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. “Business day” as used herein shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is normally open for business.
