ARTICLE V.

DUTIES OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE

Section 5.01 Action Upon Instructions.

(a)  It is the intention of the Beneficiary that the powers and duties of the Owner Trustee are to be purely ministerial only. Accordingly, subject to Section 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) the Beneficiary will direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Note Issuance Trust and the Trust Estate. Such direction shall be exercised at any time only by written instruction of the Beneficiary delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article V. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall not take any action including but not limited to the execution of any documents, certificates or other instruments (other than the Transaction Documents and any documents, certificates or other instruments attached thereto or contemplated thereby), unless it receives written instructions from the Beneficiary.

(b)  The Owner Trustee will take such action or actions as may be specified in any instructions delivered in accordance with Section 5.01(a); provided, however, that the Owner Trustee will not be required to take any such action if the Trustee Bank will have been advised by counsel that such action (i) is contrary to the terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Note Issuance Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law, or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in liability on the part of the Trustee Bank, unless the Trustee Bank will have received additional indemnification or security satisfactory to the Trustee Bank from the Beneficiary against all costs, expenses and liabilities arising from the Owner Trustee’s taking such action.

(c)  The Beneficiary will not direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action contrary to this Agreement, nor will the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction.

(d)  In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action to be adopted, the Owner Trustee will promptly give notice to the Beneficiary requesting written instructions as to the course of action to be adopted and, to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such written instructions received from the Beneficiary, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee will not have received appropriate written instructions within 30 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as it deems to be in the best interests of the Beneficiary, and will have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(e)  The Owner Trustee will, subject to this Section 5.01, act in accordance with the instructions given to it by the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 5.01(a), and to the extent the

14

Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with such instructions, the Owner Trustee will not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

Section 5.02 No Duty to Act Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee Bank nor the Owner Trustee, except a Trustee Bank authorized as co-trustee, will be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action would (i) require the consent, approval, authorization or order of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee, tax or governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any political subdivisions thereof in existence on the Merger Date other than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Trustee Bank; or (iii) subject the Trustee Bank to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Trustee Bank or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Owner Trustee shall be entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be at the reasonable expense of the Beneficiary) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the Owner Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Owner Trustee may, or if instructed to do so by the Beneficiary, shall, appoint an additional trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof to proceed with such action.

Section 5.03 No Duties Except Under Specified Agreements or Instructions.

(a)  The Owner Trustee will not have any duty or obligation to manage, control, use, make any payment in respect of, register, record, insure, inspect, sell, dispose of, create, maintain or perfect any security interest or title in or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate, prepare, file or record any document or report (including any tax related filing for any holder of Notes), or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Note Issuance Trust or any document contemplated hereby to which the Note Issuance Trust or the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in written instructions from the Beneficiary received pursuant to Section 5.01; and no implied duties or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Owner Trustee. Unless otherwise directed by the Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.01(a), the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to take any action the Note Issuance Trust is authorized and empowered to take pursuant to Section 2.03(a). The Trustee Bank nevertheless agrees that it will, in its individual capacity and at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on any part of the Trust Estate which results from actions by or claims against the Trustee Bank not related to the Note Issuance Trust or the Owner Trustee’s ownership of any part of the Trust Estate.

(b)  The Owner Trustee agrees that it will not manage, control, use, lease, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to, or the authority conferred upon, the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) in accordance with the express terms hereof or with written instructions from the Beneficiary pursuant to Section 5.01. Unless otherwise directed by the Beneficiary in accordance with Section 5.01(a), the Owner Trustee shall not be required to perform any obligations or duties of

15

the Note Issuance Trust under the Indenture, which duties and obligations shall be the sole responsibility of the Beneficiary.

The Beneficiary may remove the Owner Trustee at any time without cause upon the delivery to the Owner Trustee of a written instrument of removal.

The Beneficiary will notify the Note Rating Agencies promptly after the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and promptly after the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

Section 8.02 Transfer Procedures.

The predecessor Owner Trustee shall promptly deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents, statements and monies held by it under this Agreement. The successor Owner Trustee shall promptly file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State identifying the name and principal place of business of such successor Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE X.

BENEFICIAL INTERESTS AND CERTIFICATES

Section 10.01 Issuance of Trust Certificates.

(a)  The parties confirm and acknowledge that, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, the trust certificate owned by Discover Bank under the Original Trust Agreement was presented by Discover Bank to the Note Issuance Trust with a request to register transfer to the Beneficiary. Upon execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust issued and delivered to the Beneficiary a certificate of beneficial ownership of the Trust Estate substantially in the form of Exhibit A thereto evidencing the Beneficiary’s Beneficial Interest in the Note Issuance Trust. The parties confirm and acknowledge that, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the trust certificate owned by the Beneficiary under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement has been presented by the Beneficiary to the Note Issuance Trust with a request to register the exchange of such trust certificate for a new certificate of beneficial ownership of the Trust Estate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Trust Certificate”) evidencing the Beneficiary’s continuing Beneficial Interest in the Note Issuance Trust. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust will issue and deliver to the Beneficiary the Trust Certificate. The Beneficiary, in its capacity as the holder of the Trust Certificate, (i) shall continue to be the sole beneficial owner of the Note Issuance Trust and (ii) shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)  The Beneficiary is entitled to all rights provided to it under this Agreement and in the Trust Certificate and is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the Trust Certificate.

(c)  The Owner Trustee will maintain at its office referred to in Section 2.08, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in writing by the Beneficiary, a register for the

23

registration of the Trust Certificate. Such register will show the name and address of the holder of the Trust Certificate, and the Owner Trustee will treat such register as definitive and binding for all purposes hereunder.

(d)  The prior trust certificate owned by the Beneficiary under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement was duly executed and issued by the Trust and duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee in accordance with the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, and the such trust certificate has been fully paid, validly issued, non-assessable and entitled to the benefits of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement. When the Trust Certificate is duly executed and issued by the Note Issuance Trust and duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee in accordance with this Agreement and exchanged for the prior trust certificate owned by the Beneficiary under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, the Trust Certificate will be fully paid, validly issued, non-assessable and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Beneficial Interest; Prohibitions on Transfer.

(a)  As of the date of this Agreement, the Beneficial Interest will continue to be beneficially owned solely by Discover Funding. Transfers of all or a portion of the Beneficial Interest and the Trust Certificate may be made between Discover Funding and any other Person who is an Affiliate of Discover Funding (a “Permitted Affiliate Transferee”) upon delivery to the Master Trust Trustee and the Owner Trustee of a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such transfer. The Beneficiary may not sell, participate, transfer, assign, exchange or otherwise pledge or convey all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Certificate or its Beneficial Interest to any other Person, except to any Permitted Affiliate Transferee. Any purported transfer by the Beneficiary of all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Certificate to any Person will be effective only upon the issuance of a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion to the Master Trust Trustee and the Owner Trustee, which will not be an expense of the Owner Trustee or the Trustee Bank. Any purported transfer by the Beneficiary of all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Certificate which is not in compliance with the terms of this Section 10.02 will be null and void.

(b)  The Trust Certificate will bear a legend setting forth the restriction on the transferability of the Beneficial Interest substantially as follows:

“THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT REFERRED TO BELOW.

COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEE BANK AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 11.01 Trustee Bank Fees and Expenses. The Beneficiary will pay to the Trustee Bank all fees and other charges described in a separate fee agreement promptly when invoiced and reimburse the Trustee Bank for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with its acting as Owner Trustee of the Note Issuance Trust. Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 703 of the Indenture, payment of such fees and expenses will not be a recourse obligation of the Note Issuance Trust and will not be payable out of the Trust Estate.

Section 11.02 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Beneficiary hereby agrees, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be consummated, to assume liability for, and hereby indemnifies, protects, saves and keeps harmless the Trustee Bank and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, legal representatives, agents and servants (each an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted at any time against an Indemnified Person (whether or not also indemnified against by any other Person) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other related documents or the enforcement of any of the terms of any thereof, the administration of the Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee, or the Trustee Bank under this Agreement, except, in any such case, to the extent that any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements are the result of any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 6.01; provided, however, that the Beneficiary shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Person from and against expenses arising or resulting from (i) the Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.07 made by the Indemnified Person.

25

In case any such action, investigation or proceeding will be brought involving an Indemnified Person, the Beneficiary will assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses. The Trustee Bank will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, investigation or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof and the reasonable counsel fees and expenses of such counsel will be paid by the Beneficiary. In the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section 11.02, the Trustee Bank’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Beneficiary, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Except to the extent specifically provided in Section 703 of the Indenture, the payment of such indemnified amounts will not be a recourse obligation of the Note Issuance Trust and will not be payable out of the Trust Estate.

The indemnification set forth herein will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee Bank.
