SECTION 2.05 Trust Portfolio Repurchase Obligations of the Transferor.

(a) Trust Portfolio Repurchase Events. If, as of the Effective Date or, with respect to any Additional Accounts, as of any date on which there is an assignment of such Additional Accounts:

(i) this Agreement or the appropriate Assignment delivered after the Effective Date, as the case may be, does not constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor 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; or

(ii) this Agreement or the appropriate Assignment delivered after the Effective Date, as the case may be, constitutes a sale of the Receivables existing as of the Effective Date (or the Additional Account Cut-Off Date, as applicable) and thereafter created, and of all proceeds (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Applicable State with respect to such Receivables) of such Receivables, but does not constitute a valid

transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right, title and interest of the Transferor in and to such property, or such property will not be owned by the Trust free and clear of any Lien of any Person claiming through or under the Transferor; or

(iii) this Agreement or the appropriate Assignment delivered after the Effective Date, as the case may be, does not constitute a sale of such property, and it further does not constitute a grant of a security interest (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the Applicable State with respect to any Receivable) in such property to the Trust which is enforceable with respect to existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof upon execution and delivery of the Agreement or Assignment, and which will be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter or thereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon such creation; or

(iv) this Agreement or the appropriate Assignment delivered after the Effective Date, as the case may be, constitutes the grant of a security interest to the Trust in such property, upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 2.03(b) or the appropriate Assignment, as the case may be, and in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and proceeds thereof, upon such creation, and the Trust does not then have a first priority perfected security interest in such property except for statutory or other non-consensual liens; or

(v) the Transferor or a Person claiming through or under the Transferor has any claim to or interest in any of the Investor Accounts, other than (A) the interest of the Certificateholders and (B) if the Agreement or appropriate Assignment delivered after the Effective Date, as the case may be, constitutes the grant of a security interest in such property, the interest of the Transferor in such property as a debtor for purposes of the UCC as in effect in the Applicable State with respect to any Receivable; or

(vi) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04(a), (b) or (c) 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 Transferor or (B) receipt by the Transferor 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); or

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 Transferor and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders), may direct Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 the Transferor under this Agreement the Trustee has not sold, transferred or encumbered any such Receivables or interest therein), as shall be reasonably requested by Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate to vest in Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor.

(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 the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor 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 Transferor and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders of such Series), may direct Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor 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 Transferor or (ii) receipt by the Transferor 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, the Transferor 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 Transferor 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) Discover Bank’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) but shall provide written notice to the Transferor referred to in this Section 2.07(a) when directed by any Certificateholder.

(b) Purchase of Ineligible Receivables. If at any time a Receivable Repurchase Event shall have occurred and be continuing, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor Percentage or the Transferor Interest. In the event that such an exclusion of Receivables from the calculation of the Transferor Interest would cause the Transferor Interest to be a negative number on the date of purchase of such Receivables, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall make a deposit in the Collections Account in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate without recourse, representation or warranty (except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this section. The obligation of Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.09 Covenants of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby covenants that:

(a) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder, the Transferor will not 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 the Transferor, whether existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter created, or any interest therein, and the Transferor 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 the Transferor. The Transferor shall, if so requested by the Trustee, as agent for the Transferor, provide information to third parties (which information may be provided by the Transferor 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) Enforcement of Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement. The Transferor agrees to take all actions necessary and appropriate to enforce its rights and claims under the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement.

(c) Account Allocations. In the event that the Transferor 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 the Transferor or any court of competent jurisdiction ordering that the Transferor not convey any additional Principal Receivables to the Trust) then, in any such event, the Transferor 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 the Transferor); and the Transferor agrees to have such amounts applied as Collections in accordance with Section 4.03. If the Transferor is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law to allocate payments on the Accounts as described above, the Transferor 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 the Transferor 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. The Transferor will not 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 the Transferor) except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account.

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

(f) Separate Company Existence. The Transferor shall comply with Section 9(j)(iv) and Section 10 of the Transferor LLC Agreement and shall cause its Independent Director (as defined in the Transferor LLC Agreement) to be from, or to be provided by, a nationally recognized corporate services provider.

SECTION 2.10 Addition of Accounts.

(ii) In lieu of, or in addition to, designating Additional Accounts pursuant to paragraph (i) above, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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.

(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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 below the Required Rating by any Rating Agency; and

(iv) Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate that such assignment of Additional Accounts would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered below the Required Rating 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Originator”), which may or may not be Discover Card accounts. Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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):

(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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall be permitted to convey to the Trust Participation Interests.

The Master Servicer shall cause the appropriate Servicer with respect to any Additional Accounts to 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate effective as of the Removal Date.

(ii) The removal of the Removed Accounts on any Removal Date shall not, in the reasonable belief of the Transferor 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 Transferor 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 the Transferor 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 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;

(iv) Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall represent and warrant that no selection procedures believed by the Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of the Holders of any Class of any Series then outstanding, or any Credit Enhancement Provider, were utilized in selecting the Removed Accounts;

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

(A) Each of such Accounts is a Charged-Off Account; provided that the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, and the Receivables from the Removed Accounts and the Removed Interchange shall no longer constitute a part of the Trust.

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 Transferor, and the issuance of the Transferor Certificate to the Transferor, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor Certificate, and agrees, to service and administer the Receivables (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) with respect to which it is acting as Servicer, and collect payments due under such Receivables (or amounts recovered from receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) in accordance with its customary and usual servicing procedures for servicing credit receivables comparable to the Receivables (or such receivables in

Charged-Off Accounts) 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 (or receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) with respect to which it is acting as Servicer, (ii) after the delinquency of any such Receivable (or receivable in a Charged-Off Account) and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to commence collection proceedings with respect to such Receivables (or receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 and (iii) subject to Section 3.02(e), to sell the receivables in any Charged-Off Account.

Any amounts payable on a given Trust Distribution Date to the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate or the Master Servicer, as applicable, any funds in any Investor Account that would otherwise be paid to Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate or the Master Servicer, as applicable, on the Trust Distribution Date or any Distribution Date related to such Due Period.

(a) If the Master Servicer or the Transferor 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 the Transferor, 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 the Transferor (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 the Transferor 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 Transferor, 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 Funding, as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor Interest would cause the Transferor Interest to be an amount less than zero, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate that the movement of the applicable Series would not cause the rating of any Class of any Series then outstanding to be lowered below the Required Rating or withdrawn.

SECTION 6.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Investor Certificates of any Series or Class may be issued, subject to applicable laws and regulations, 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. The Transferor 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 the Holder of the Transferor Certificate 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 the Holder of the Transferor Certificate 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 the Holder of the Transferor Certificate 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, 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 Transferor Certificate shall represent the entire Transferor Interest. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate by any authorized officer. 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 the Transferor 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 Transferor 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. All Registered Certificates and any certificated Transferor Certificate shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 6.02 Book-Entry Certificates.

(a) The Investor Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in fully registered form, in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on the behalf of, the Transferor. 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) the Transferor, 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.

(c) If, with respect to any Series the Investor Certificates of which are originally issued in the form of Book-Entry Certificates:

(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 the Transferor 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. If the Holder of the Transferor Certificate elects to have its fractional undivided interest in the Trust evidenced by a certificate pursuant to Section 6.01, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Transferor Certificate to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate. 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate, to the persons designated in such Series Supplement. If specified in the related Series Supplement, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver outside the United States a Global Certificate representing the Series Initial Investor Interest for such Series or the Class Initial Investor Interest for a specified Class of such Series. The Investor Certificates of each Series shall be duly authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided herein and in the applicable Series Supplement, in authorized denominations equal to (in the aggregate) the Series Initial Investor Interest of each Series. At any time, the Investor Certificates outstanding at such time, together with the Transferor Certificate, shall evidence the entire ownership of the Trust.

The Certificate Register shall be in written form or capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. Unless otherwise specifically designated by Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in a written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Register shall be maintained at the Corporate Trust Office.

(ii) Investor Certificates of certain Classes of certain Series may be ineligible for purchase by 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)(l) of the Code, and not excepted under Section 4975(g) (a “Plan”). No transfer of such an Investor Certificate shall be made nor shall any interest therein be transferred to a Plan. Each Holder of such a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, 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 the provisions of 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 that is using assets to purchase such Certificates that constitute plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in such entity. The Series Supplement with respect to each Series shall set forth which Class or Classes of such Series, if any, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.04(a)(ii).

(iii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Certificate at any office or agency to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.04(c), Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more Registered Certificates of the same Class and Series, of a like Fractional Undivided Interest and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Whenever any Registered Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Registered Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Registered Certificates may not be exchanged for certificates in bearer form.

(viii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(ix) All Investor Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange or for payment shall be canceled and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b) It is the understanding of the parties to this Agreement that Discover Bank has particular expertise in performing the functions given by this Agreement to the Master Servicer and that the Investor Certificateholders will be purchasing the Investor Certificates relying on Discover Bank exercising such expertise in performing such functions. Except as provided in Sections 8.04 and 8.06, the Master Servicer is not permitted to resign or delegate its duties and the parties understand that the Master Servicer’s performance of its functions and the quality of the Receivables will best be ensured if the Transferor, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Discover Bank, retains the Transferor Certificate.

(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents with respect to one or more Series which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates of such Series in connection with the issuance, delivery, registration of transfer, exchange or repayment of such Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.

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 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 Registered Certificates in definitive form (the “Definitive Euro-Certificates”).

(b) The Manager shall advise the Trustee, the Transferor, the Common Depositary, Clearstream Banking and Euroclear of the Exchange Date. 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 Transferor 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 Transferor shall cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Definitive Euro-Certificates to the Holder 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 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 Exhibit H signed by the Manager which sold the relevant Certificates. 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 EuroCertificates 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 Transferor 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 exchanged in full, such Global Certificate shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Definitive Euro-Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Global Certificate shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest on the Certificates until they have exchanged their beneficial interests in such Global Certificate for Definitive Euro-Certificates.

SECTION 6.12 Meetings of Certificateholders.

(a) 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 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 Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and their respective counsel.

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 the Transferor or any affiliate of the Transferor. 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 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 Transferor 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 Transferor Interest. In the event that the Transferor becomes a Certificate Owner or an Investor Certificateholder (in the event that Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.02), Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 below the Required Rating 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 Transferor 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 Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of any exchange of Investor Certificates for Transferor Interest pursuant to this Section 6.14.

then, in the case of any event described in subparagraph (a), (b) or (i), after any applicable grace period set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Trustee or the Holders of Investor Certificates of any Class materially adversely affected thereby evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Class Invested Amount of such Class by notice given in writing to Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Investor Certificateholders) may declare that an amortization event (an “Amortization Event”) has occurred with respect to such Series as of the date of such notice; in the case of any event described in subparagraphs (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) an Amortization Event shall occur immediately upon the occurrence of such event; and in the case of any event described in subparagraph (k), an Amortization Event shall occur with respect to such Series pursuant to the terms of such Series Supplement.

SECTION 10.01 Master Servicer Termination Events. If any one of the following events (a “Master Servicer Termination Event”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Master Servicer to make any payment, transfer or deposit or to give instructions to the Trustee to make any withdrawal on or before the date occurring five Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or deposit or instruction is required to be made or given as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement, any Series Supplement or the Master Servicing Agreement;

(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

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 (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 (or receivables in Charged-Off Accounts), and in assisting the Successor Master Servicer. The terminated Master Servicer shall promptly make available its electronic records relating to the Receivables (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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.

SECTION 10.02 Servicer Termination Events. If any one of the following events (a “Servicer Termination Event”) shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Servicer:

(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 (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 (or receivables in Charged-Off Accounts), and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The terminated Servicer shall promptly make available its electronic records relating to the Receivables (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) 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 below the Required Rating 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 Transferor 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 Transferor Certificate and, without limitation, Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor 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 Transferor Certificate in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer to conduct servicing on the Receivables (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts). Any Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer shall transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables (and receivables in Charged-Off Accounts) to Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in such electronic form as the Transferor may reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to Discover Funding as the Holder of the Transferor Certificate in the manner and at such times as the Transferor 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 the Transferor information of any kind which such Successor Master Servicer or Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, the Transferor 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 Transferor 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 the Transferor 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(b) or (c) or any Servicer Termination Event referred to in Section 10.02(b) or (c) or with knowledge of any Amortization Event described in Sections 9.01(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (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(b) or (c) or a Servicer Termination Event described in Section 10.02(b) or (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 the Transferor has agreed to transfer any of its credit receivables (other than the Receivables) to another Person, upon the written request of the Transferor, 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 the Transferor’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 the Transferor 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 advice or 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 advice or 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 (or, for any Series that issues only collateral certificates to an entity or entities that will issue securities supported by, among other things, such collateral certificates, to the holders of such securities, if the documents governing the terms of such securities so provide) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any Series Supplement, unless such Certificateholders (or the holders of such securities, as applicable) 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 Transferor with its 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 Transferor 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 Transferor 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

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.

TERMINATION

SECTION 12.01 Termination of the Transferor’s Obligations; Termination of Trust.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Transferor, 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 Transferor, 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. Neither the Transferor nor any affiliate or agent of the Transferor shall be permitted to bid for or purchase Receivables pursuant to this Section 12.01(b); provided, however, that an affiliate or agent of the Transferor 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, (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 from the start of the then-current fiscal year or transition

period, 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. 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. Neither the Transferor nor any affiliate or agent of the Transferor 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 The Transferor’s Termination Rights. Upon the termination of the Transferor’s obligations and responsibilities with respect to the Trust pursuant to Section 12.01 and the surrender, if applicable, of any certificated Transferor Certificate, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holder of the Transferor Certificate any Receivables and Interchange and cash remaining in the Trust in respect of the Transferor Interest. Such distribution will be made without recourse, representation or warranty except for the warranty that since the date of transfer by the Transferor 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 Transferor Certificate to vest in the Holder of the Transferor Certificate all right, title and interest which the Trust had in such Receivables and Interchange.

(a) This Agreement and any Series Supplement may be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Transferor, 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 Transferor, 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 the Transferor or any affiliate or agent of the Transferor);

(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 the Transferor or any affiliate or agent of the Transferor);

(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

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Transferor, 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 Transferor, 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 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 rating assigned to any Class of any Series then outstanding to be downgraded below the Required Rating or withdrawn 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 the Transferor or any affiliate or agent of the Transferor, and neither the Transferor nor any affiliate or agent of the Transferor 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 the Transferor or any affiliate or agent of the Transferor). The Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Rating Agencies of the solicitation of any consents for the purpose of amending this Agreement or any Series Supplement pursuant to this Section 13.01(b).

(c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent pursuant to Section 13.01(b), the Trustee shall notify the Investor Certificateholders of the substance of such amendment. No notice will be given to the Investor Certificateholders with regard to any amendment made pursuant to Section 13.01(a).

(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 the Transferor 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.

(a) The Master Servicer shall cause all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the Certificateholders and the Trustee’s right, title and interest to the Receivables and Interchange to be promptly filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee hereunder to all property comprising the Trust. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. The Transferor shall cooperate fully with the Master Servicer in connection with the obligations set forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 13.02(a). The Trustee shall not bear responsibility for filing status.

(b) Within fifteen days after the Transferor 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 the Transferor, the Transferor 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.
