(a) In consideration of Discover Funding’s payment of each related Purchase Price, and/or in consideration of the membership interest in Discover Funding held by Discover Bank prior to the date hereof as provided in the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement, Discover Bank did sell and assign and/or contribute, as applicable, to Discover Funding (collectively, the “Pre-Merger Conveyance”), without recourse, all of Discover Bank’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) the Receivables existing on the Effective Date (including the Existing Assets) and arising after the Effective Date and prior to the Merger Date in each Initial Account (including any related Surviving Account), and the Receivables existing on the related Additional Account Cut-Off Date and arising after the related Additional Account Cut-Off Date and prior to the Merger Date in each Additional Account (including any related Surviving Account) with an Addition Date prior to the Merger Date, (ii) all Interchange allocable to those Receivables, (iii) all Collections on those Receivables, including all Recovered Amounts, and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property (collectively, the “Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets”). Discover Funding accepted the Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets sold and/or contributed under the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement. CONA hereby acknowledges (i) Discover Bank’s prior sale and assignment and/or contribution of the Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets and does hereby sell and assign and/or contribute, as applicable, to Discover Funding, without recourse, any right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under any of the Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets that CONA may be deemed to have and (ii) the sale or contribution of the Existing Assets pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement is subject to any rights in the Existing Assets transferred, assigned, set over or otherwise conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b) Each of CONA and Discover Funding hereby acknowledges and confirms the prior sales and assignments and/or contributions of Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets by Discover Bank to Discover Funding pursuant to the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement. In consideration of Discover Funding’s payment of each related Purchase Price, and/or in consideration of the membership interest in Discover Funding held by CONA on and after the date hereof, CONA hereby sells and assigns and/or contributes, as applicable, to Discover Funding (collectively, the “Post-Merger Conveyance” and, together with the Pre-Merger Conveyance, the “Conveyance”), without recourse, all of CONA’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) the Receivables existing on the date hereof and arising after the date hereof in each Initial Account (including any related Surviving Account) and in each Additional Account (including any related Surviving Account) with an Addition Date prior to the Merger Date, and the Receivables existing on the related Additional Account Cut-Off Date and arising after the related Additional Account Cut-Off Date in each Additional Account (including any related Surviving Account) with an Addition Date on or after the Merger Date, (ii) all Interchange allocable to those Receivables, (iii) all Collections on those Receivables, including all Recovered Amounts, and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property (collectively, the “Post-Merger Conveyed Assets” and, together with the

 

11


Pre-Merger Conveyed Assets, the “Conveyed Assets”). Discover Funding hereby accepts the Post-Merger Conveyed Assets sold and/or contributed under this Agreement.

(c) CONA further agrees, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to the Merger Date, with respect to the Initial Accounts and each Additional Account with an Addition Date prior to the Merger Date and, on or prior to each Addition Date, with respect to Additional Accounts with an Addition Date on or after the Merger Date, to indicate in its books and records (including its computer files) that Receivables created in connection with the Accounts and the related Conveyed Assets have been transferred to Discover Funding pursuant to the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, and have been further transferred by Discover Funding to DCMT for the benefit of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as originally executed and as amended, supplemented, restated, amended and restated, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, and (ii) on or prior to each Addition Date, with respect to Additional Accounts with an Addition Date on or after the Merger Date, to deliver an Account Schedule to Discover Funding. CONA and Discover Funding acknowledge that, on or prior to the Effective Date, with respect to the Initial Accounts, and on or prior to each Addition Date, with respect to each Additional Account with an Addition Date prior to the Merger Date, Discover Bank delivered an Account Schedule to Discover Funding.

(d) CONA shall not alter the indication referenced in clause (c)(i) immediately above with respect to any Account during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Account is no longer an Account or CONA has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to cause the interest of Discover Funding in the Conveyed Assets to continue to be perfected, which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the recordation and filing, at its own expense, of any amendment to any financing statements with respect to the Receivables then existing and thereafter created as is necessary to preserve the perfection of the security interest in such Receivables to Discover Funding after giving effect to such alteration, and shall deliver a file-stamped copy of such amendment or other evidence of such filing to the Trustee on or prior to the date of any such alteration.

(e) The parties intend that the Conveyance of the Conveyed Assets by CONA, as successor by merger to Discover Bank, to Discover Funding be an absolute contribution and sale and not a secured borrowing, including for accounting purposes. If the transactions under this Agreement were determined to be a loan rather than an absolute contribution and sale despite this intent of the parties, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and CONA hereby grants to Discover Funding a first priority security interest in all of CONA’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Conveyed Assets to secure CONA’s obligations under this Agreement. This grant is a protective measure and must not be construed as evidence of any intent contrary to the one expressed in this paragraph.

Section 2.2 Addition of Accounts.

(a) Discover Funding may be obligated to designate additional accounts under Section 2.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or may elect to designate additional accounts or participation interests under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In either case, Discover Funding may require that CONA designate Additional Accounts under this Agreement to enable

 

12


Discover Funding to satisfy that obligation or election. Discover Funding shall give CONA notice of this requirement to designate Additional Accounts under this Agreement prior to the related Addition Date. If CONA fails to designate Additional Accounts in compliance with that notice only because sufficient credit card accounts are not available to CONA, that failure will not be a breach of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any Additional Accounts, CONA shall cause the Master Servicer to prepare a reasonable estimate of the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Additional Accounts for the Due Period in which such accounts are first designated as Additional Accounts. Such estimate shall be deemed to be the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such Additional Accounts in such Due Period absent manifest error.

(c) CONA agrees to provide to Discover Funding such information, certificates, financing statements, opinions and other materials as reasonably necessary to enable Discover Funding to satisfy its obligations under Section 2.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to Additional Accounts or Participation Interests of CONA. In the case of Additional Accounts, CONA shall deliver to Discover Funding on the date designated by Discover Funding (i) the Account Schedule required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(c) with respect to such Additional Accounts, (ii) upon request by Discover Funding or the Trustee, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the estimate of the Finance Charge Receivables in such Additional Accounts and (iii) a duly executed written assignment covering the related Conveyed Assets, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Conveyance”).

Section 2.3 Removal and Deletion of Accounts.

(a) Discover Funding may remove Accounts from DCMT in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. On each day on which Accounts are removed from DCMT pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, CONA and Discover Funding may, but shall not be required to, by mutual agreement, remove Accounts from the operation of this Agreement. CONA agrees to provide to Discover Funding such information, certificates, financing statements opinions and other materials as are reasonably necessary to enable Discover Funding to satisfy its obligations under Section 2.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the removal of Accounts.

(b) With respect to any removed Accounts pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Discover Funding shall cause the Master Servicer to prepare a reasonable estimate of the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such removed Accounts for the Due Period in which such accounts are removed. Such estimate shall be deemed to be the amount of Finance Charge Receivables billed in such removed Accounts in such Due Period absent manifest error.

(c) On any date Receivables are removed pursuant to Section 2.3(a), automatically and without further action, Discover Funding shall reassign to CONA, without recourse, representation, or warranty, all of Discover Funding’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) that Receivable, (ii) all Interchange allocable to that Receivable, (iii) all Collections on that Receivable, including any Recovered Amounts and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property. On a date mutually selected by CONA and Discover Funding (which date shall not later than the fifth Business Day following the calendar month in which the Receivable was reassigned), CONA must

 

13


pay to Discover Funding in immediately available funds an amount equal to the unpaid balance of that Receivable, and Discover Funding will treat that Receivable as collected in full. Discover Funding must execute all agreements and other documents, and must take all other actions, that are reasonably requested by CONA to effect this reassignment, including executing any reassignment supplements to this Agreement in a form to agreed upon by CONA and Discover Funding.

Section 2.4 Additional Originators.

(a) CONA may designate additional or substitute Persons to be included as Additional Originators and designate Additional Accounts under this Agreement if Discover Funding is permitted to designate such Additional Accounts as “Additional Accounts” under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b) Any Additional Originator shall comply with the obligations of, and, other than with respect to Section 2.4(a), shall have the rights and benefits of, CONA pursuant to this Agreement and references to “CONA” in such provisions shall mean and refer to such Additional Originator, in each case solely with respect to the Receivables in the Accounts designated by such Additional Originator.

Section 2.5 Transfer of Collateral Certificate.

(a) Discover Bank, as the initial seller, transferred, assigned, set over, pledged and otherwise conveyed to the Note Issuance Trust, without recourse (subject to the obligations in the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate Transfer Agreement), all right, title and interest of Discover Bank in and to the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and the proceeds thereof (the “Original Conveyance”). The Original Conveyance of the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and the proceeds thereof was and still is intended to constitute a sale, and not a secured borrowing, for accounting purposes. Nevertheless, Discover Bank, as the initial seller, also granted to the Note Issuance Trust a security interest, which security interest is continuing, in and to all of Discover Bank’s right, title and interest, whether then owned or thereafter acquired, in, to and under the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, all accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights, advices of credit and investment property consisting of; arising from, or relating to the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, and the proceeds thereof, to secure the obligations of Discover Bank as the initial transferor. The Note Issuance Trust granted to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes a security interest in all of the Note Issuance Trust’s right, title and interest, whether then owned or thereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and the proceeds thereof. The Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate was registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee and delivered to (and has been held by) the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York in accordance with Section 1301 of the Indenture.

(b) To the extent that CONA, as successor by merger to Discover Bank, retained any interest in the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, CONA, as successor by merger to Discover Bank, as the initial transferor, hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes a security interest in and to all of CONA’s right, title, and interest, whether

 

14


then owned or thereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, all accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights, advices of credit, and investment property consisting of, arising from, or relating to the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate and the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, and the proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Indenture Collateral”), to secure performance of CONA, as successor by merger to Discover Bank, as the initial transferor.

(c) Immediately following the Merger and on the date hereof (i) the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate was exchanged by or at the direction of the Note Issuance Trust so that it could be cancelled and replaced with a certificate described in clause (ii) that memorialized the Merger and clarified and updated references therein to account for the Merger, and (ii) the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate was issued in the name of the Indenture Trustee as a replacement for the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate pursuant to the Series Supplement. The parties agree, acknowledge and confirm that (A) the Original Conveyance has taken place, (B) as a result of the Merger, CONA became obligated for all of Discover Bank’s obligations in connection with the Original Conveyance and (C) the issuance of the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate as a replacement for the Predecessor Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate is not intended to modify any of CONA’s obligations with respect thereto.

(d) The parties intend and agree that, since the transfer by Discover Bank specified in Section 2.5(a) above, all right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, all other items of the Trust Estate, and all proceeds thereof have been owned solely by the Note Issuance Trust, subject only to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. If Discover Funding or CONA were determined to have any right, title, or interest in, to, or under the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, any other item of the Trust Estate, or any proceeds thereof despite this intent of the parties, each of Discover Funding and CONA hereby transfers and assigns to the Note Issuance Trust, without recourse, all of its right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, all other items of the Trust Estate, and all proceeds thereof and further grants to the Note Issuance Trust a security interest in all of its right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate, all other items of the Trust Estate, and all proceeds thereof to secure its obligations. The parties intend that these transfers by Discover Funding and CONA constitute a sale, and not a secured borrowing, for accounting purposes. These transfers by Discover Funding and CONA are a protective measure and must not be construed as evidence of any intent contrary to the one expressed in the second sentence of this paragraph. Each of CONA and Discover Funding hereby acknowledges and confirms the prior transfer and assignment of all of Discover Bank’s rights and obligations under the Series 2007-CC Collateral Certificate Transfer Agreement from Discover Bank to Discover Funding pursuant to the Original Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement.

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) Discover Funding must pay to CONA each purchase price described in this Article 3 (a “Purchase Price”) in return for the related Conveyed Assets.

(b) The Purchase Price for the Receivables (including Receivables in Additional Accounts) to be conveyed to Discover Funding under this Agreement that are or come into existence on or after the date hereof shall be equal to the fair market value of the Receivables so conveyed. Discover Funding shall transfer the Purchase Price to CONA as follows:

(i) if the fair market value of the Receivables to be transferred is equal to or greater than the book value of such Receivables, (1) an amount equal to the book value of such Receivables shall be due and payable by Discover Funding to CONA and (2) CONA shall be deemed to have made a capital contribution to Discover Funding to the extent of any excess of the fair market value over the book value of such Receivables; and

(ii) if the fair market value of the Receivables to be transferred is less than the book value of such Receivables, an amount equal to the fair market value of such Receivables shall be due and payable by Discover Funding to CONA;

provided that CONA may elect, in its sole discretion, to contribute Receivables (or any portion thereof) to Discover Funding from time to time; provided further that, if Discover Funding elects, in its sole discretion, an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price for such Receivables not paid to CONA shall be deemed to be a borrowing by Discover Funding from CONA under the Long Term Intercompany Note so long as the Adequate Capital Test is satisfied on such day.

(c) Any portion of the Purchase Price that is not (i) deemed a borrowing under the Long Term Intercompany Note or (ii) deemed a capital contribution, in each case pursuant to clause (b) above, shall be payable by Discover Funding to CONA in immediately available funds on each date (a “Purchase Price Payment Date”) mutually selected by CONA and Discover Funding; provided that the Purchase Price Payment Date for any Receivables and other Conveyed Assets shall not be later than the fifth Business Day following the calendar month in which that Receivable arises.

(d) Each of CONA and Discover Funding hereby agree that the Purchase Price is fair and adequate consideration for the Conveyed Assets. No determination of fair market value under this Section 3.1 can assume any purchase by Discover Funding of Receivables and other Conveyed Assets.

The amount of that Purchase Price Adjustment is equal to the amount by which that Receivable has been reduced or increased.

(b) If a Purchase Price Adjustment causes the Purchase Price to be a negative number, CONA must pay to Discover Funding in immediately available funds on the related Purchase Price Payment Date an amount equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price Adjustment exceeds the unadjusted Purchase Price.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts owing to or from CONA and Discover Funding hereunder may be netted.

(f) CONA will not change its name or its type or jurisdiction of organization without first delivering to Discover Funding an opinion of counsel stating that all actions and filings that are necessary or appropriate to maintain the perfection and the priority of Discover Funding’s ownership interest in the Receivables have been taken or made.

CONA acknowledges that Discover Funding intends to assign all of its right, title, and interest in, to, and under this Agreement and the Conveyed Assets to the DCMT Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and CONA consents to that assignment. CONA will have no remedy against Discover Funding under this Agreement other than a claim for money damages and then only to the extent of funds available to Discover Funding. CONA must not assert any claim to or interest in any Purchased Asset and must not take any action that would interfere with the receipt of Collections on the Conveyed Assets by Discover Funding or the DCMT Trustee. If any amount payable by CONA to Discover Funding under this Agreement in turn must be paid by Discover Funding to the DCMT Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and if Discover Funding directs, CONA must pay that amount directly to the DCMT Trustee.

Section 9.8 Further Assurances. Each party hereby agrees to do and perform, from time to time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required or reasonably requested by the Trustee more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution of any financing statements or continuation statements relating to the Receivables for filing under the provisions of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction.

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges therein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

3. Sale of Additional Conveyed Assets. In consideration of Discover Funding’s payment of each related Purchase Price under the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement, CONA hereby sells and assigns to Discover Funding, without recourse, all of CONA’s right, title and interest in, to, and under (i) the Receivables existing on the Additional Account Cut-Off Date and arising after the Additional Account Cut-Off Date in each Additional Account (including any related Surviving Account), (ii) all Interchange allocable to those Receivables, (iii) all Collections on those Receivables, including Recovered Amounts and (iv) all proceeds of any of this property (collectively, the “Additional Conveyed Assets”).

CONA must take all actions relating to this sale of the Additional Conveyed Assets that are required under the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement.

The parties intend that the transfer of the Additional Conveyed Assets by CONA to Discover Funding be an absolute sale and not a secured borrowing, including for accounting purposes. If the transaction under this Supplemental Conveyance were determined to be a loan rather than an absolute sale despite this intent of the parties, CONA hereby grants to Discover Funding a first priority security interest in all of CONA’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Additional Conveyed Assets to secure CONA’s obligations under this Supplemental Conveyance and the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Supplemental Conveyance shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. Each of CONA and Discover Funding hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal or equitable action or proceeding brought by it arising under or in connection with this

 

A-2


Supplemental Conveyance shall be brought exclusively in any federal or state court in the State of Delaware, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action or proceeding brought against CONA or Discover Funding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court.
