Supplement, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture Supplement”), between the Issuer and Indenture Trustee, to which
Indenture and Indenture Supplement reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A(2010-D) Notes are subject to all terms of
the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement, the Terms Document for the Class A(2010-D) Notes, dated as of November 23, 2010 (such Terms Document, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to
time, is herein called the “Terms Document”), between the Issuer and Indenture Trustee, the Note Purchase Agreement and the Fee Letter, dated as of November 23, 2010 among
[                    ], the Note Issuance Trust and Discover Bank (such Fee Letter, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented,
replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Fee Letter”). All terms used in this Class A(2010-D) Note that are defined in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Terms Document. 
 The Class B
Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes of the DiscoverSeries and other tranches of Class A Notes of the DiscoverSeries will also be issued under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 

The Class A(2010-D) Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the
Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. 
 Principal of the Class A(2010-D) Notes will be payable on or prior to the Expected

 As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class
A(2010-D) Note shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date, or if such date is extended pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing Legal Maturity Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

insolvency-related default, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Holders of the applicable Series, Class or Tranche of Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes have declared the Class A(2010-D) Notes to be immediately due and
payable in the manner provided in Section 702 of the Indenture; provided,

reduced to less than 5% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem such Tranche of Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to Section 1202
of the Indenture. The redemption price will be an amount equal to the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of such Tranche, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of

 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Beneficiary, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, may
from time to time issue, or direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Note Issuance Trust, to issue, one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes.

Note) such Holder of Class A(2010-D) Notes’ pro rata share of the amounts held by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes. 

Payments of interest on this Class A(2010-D) Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with any installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A(2010-D) Note, shall be made by check mailed to or by wire transfer to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class A(2010-D) Note on the Note Register as of the close of
business on each Record Date. Any such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class A(2010-D) Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A(2010-D) Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class
A(2010-D) Note and of any Class A(2010-D) Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in
full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A(2010-D) Note on a Payment Date occurring after the Purchase Commitment Termination Date (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on
behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed within five days of such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of this Class A(2010-D) Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in the City of New York. On any

other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A(2010-D) Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A(2010-D) Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A(2010-D) Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A(2010-D) Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

officer, director or employee of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or any successor or assign of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly
agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its individual capacity). The Holder of this Class A(2010-D) Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Indenture and the Indenture
Supplement in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken
