THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SERVICES ADDENDUM
This Third Amended and Restated Services Addendum is dated as of January 1, 2015 and is entered into pursuant to and incorporated by reference into the Master Services Agreement dated as of January 1, 2013 by and among the parties thereto, including each of the undersigned (the “Master Services Agreement”). Discover Products Inc. (the “Servicing Party”) hereby agrees to provide to Discover Bank (the “Receiving Party”) the Services described below. The provision of Services hereunder shall be governed by the terms of the Master Services Agreement. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Services Agreement.
This Third Amended and Restated Services Addendum supersedes and replaces the Second Amended and Restated Services Addendum dated as of December 1, 2013 between Servicing Party and Receiving Party. Concurrently with the execution hereof, the Second Amended and Restated Services Addendum between DB Servicing Corporation and the Receiving Party dated as of December 1, 2013 shall be deemed to have been terminated.

Fees, Expenses and Payment for Services to be Provided
Fees for Services to be provided under this Addendum shall be determined for each support function providing services to the Receiving Party largely consistent with an internal management reporting process for allocating costs. The method for determining cost allocation will be made in consultation with the cost center manager for the respective support function and will utilize a combination of one or more of the following cost allocation methods:
| • | Usage: meaning costs will be based on actual or planned costs; |
| • | Business specific: meaning that no allocation methods are necessary as the related cost center captures costs of one business exclusively; |
| • | Time spent: meaning a direct reflection of the support provided to each business; |
| • | Headcount FTE: meaning costs will be allocated to each business based on the percentage of each business’s FTE to sum of total FTE; and |
| • | Percentage of operating expenses: meaning certain costs are allocated to businesses based on the overall percentage of costs being absorbed by each business |
Mark-up
Servicing Party will charge Receiving Party at the cost of Servicing Party’s expenses plus 2%.
The Parties intend for the cost allocation, in all cases, to be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards (if applicable), that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank or Bank subsidiary as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties. The Parties shall not impose any allocation on the Bank or Bank subsidiary that is inconsistent with that intent and, if it is determined by the Bank or Bank subsidiary in good faith or any regulatory body with supervisory authority over the Bank that an allocation hereunder is inconsistent with that intent, the Parties shall promptly modify the terms accordingly and shall adjust any prior allocations that violate that intent.
The parties agree that the fees payable to the Servicing Party hereunder shall not exceed the fees the Servicing Party would have received for similar services provided to an unaffiliated third party.
