| | | | |

| | | | | | |
Interchange | | Subseries 1 and Subseries 2 will each be eligible for allocations and reallocations of interchange. Series issued prior to November 3, 2004 will not receive allocations or reallocations of interchange. |
| | | | | | |
Group Excess Spread and Interchange Subgroup Excess Spread | | The certificates of each subseries (which are treated as a “series”) initially will be included in the “Group One” group of series. The three-month rolling average Group Excess Spread Percentage, as defined below, will be 3.32% for the Distribution Date in December 2005.

| | | | | | |
| | charged off as uncollectible for the prior calendar month. |
| | | | | | |
| | “Group Excess Spread” for any Distribution Date is the sum of the Series Excess Spreads (modified as discussed below) for all series, including each subseries, in Group One. “Group Excess Spread Percentage” for any Distribution Date is a percentage calculated by multiplying: |
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | twelve, by |
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | the sum of the Series Excess Spreads (modified as discussed below) for all series, including each subseries, in Group One, |
| | | | | | |
| | and then dividing the product by an amount equal to the sum of all investor interests for each series or subseries in Group One, in each case for the Distribution Date. For purposes of determining the Group Excess Spread and the Group Excess Spread Percentage, we will subtract interchange from the Series Excess Spread for each series or subseries that otherwise has positive Series Excess Spread. However, if this subtraction would cause the Series Excess Spread to be negative, Series Excess Spread for such series or subseries will be deemed to be zero. |
| | | | | | |
| | “Interchange Subgroup Excess Spread” for any Distribution Date means the sum of: |
| | | | | | |
| | • | | all amounts deposited in the Group Interchange Reallocation Account for all series or subseries to which interchange is allocated, and |
| | | | | | |
| | • | | the Interchange Subgroup Allocable Group Excess Spread; |
| | | | | | |
| | where “Interchange Subgroup Allocable Group Excess Spread” means, for any Distribution Date: |
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | if the Group Excess Spread is positive or zero, an amount equal to the Group Excess Spreadmultiplied bythe sum of the investor interests for each series or subseries in Group One to which interchange is allocated,divided by |
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | an amount equal to the sum of all investor interests for each series or subseries in Group One; |
| | | | | | |
| | | | and | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | if the Group Excess Spread is negative, an amount equal to the Group Excess Spreadmultiplied bythe sum of the Series Excess Spreads for each series or subseries in Group One to which interchange is allocated and for which the Series Excess Spread was negative,divided by |
This material was not prepared by the Morgan Stanley research Department. Please refer to important information and qualifications at the end of this material.
| | | | | | |
| | | | • | | an amount equal to the sum of the Series Excess Spreads for each series or subseries in Group One for which the Series Excess Spread was negative. |
| | | | | | |
Rating of the Investor Certificates | | The trust will only issue the certificates if Standard & Poor’s has rated the Class A Certificates for each subseries “AAA” and the Class B Certificates for each subseries at least “A” and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. has rated the Class A Certificates for each subseries “Aaa” and has rated the Class B Certificates for each subseries at least “A2.” |
| | | | | | |
ERISA Considerations | | Discover Bank believes that employee benefit plans subject to ERISA may acquire Class A Certificates for any subseries; however, advisers to these plans should consult their own counsel. Employee benefit plans subject to ERISA may not acquire the Class B Certificates for any subseries. |
| | | | | | |
Listing | | Discover Bank expects to list the certificates on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange to facilitate trading in non-U.S. markets. |

COMPOSITION AND HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
OF THE DISCOVER CARD PORTFOLIO
We have set forth information below about the accounts that comprise the Discover Card portfolio. On March 1, 2003, Private Issue accounts, another brand of general purpose credit and financial services card issued by Discover Bank, were converted into Discover Card accounts and made eligible for addition to the trust. The information set forth below includes these accounts as of March 1, 2003. Information related to prior periods has not been restated to reflect the historical performance of the former Private Issue accounts due to their immaterial impact on overall Discover Card performance.

Recoveries received with respect to receivables in the trust that have been charged off as uncollectible, including the proceeds of charged-off receivables that Discover Bank has removed from the trust, are included in the trust and are treated as finance charge collections. After November 30, 2003, when we refer toyield excluding recoveries and interchange,we are excluding only recoveries related to the charge-off of principal, but are including recoveries related to finance charge and fee write-offs. These finance charge and fee recoveries were previously reflected innet charge-offs, but net charge-offs now includes only charge-offs and recoveries of principal. See “Summary Charge-Off Information.” For purposes of the pooling and servicing agreement, all recoveries of principal as well as recoveries of finance charge and fees are treated as finance charge collections. The certificates of this Series 2005-4 will be eligible to receive allocations and reallocations of interchange received by the trust in accordance with the terms of their series supplement. Other certificates issued on or after November 3, 2004 may also receive allocations and reallocations of interchange if so provided in their respective series supplements.
