Section 310 of the Indenture in connection with an issuance of additional Class A(2022-4) Notes so long as such conditions were satisfied or waived in connection with the initial issuance of Class A(2022-4) Notes; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have to deliver to the Indenture Trustee a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such issuance. 

Section 2.10 Designation of Additional Amounts to Be Included in the Excess Spread Amount for the DiscoverSeries Notes. At any
time that any outstanding Series of certificates issued by the Master Trust provides that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be deposited into the Group Finance Charge Collections Reallocation Account for the Master Trust
to the extent necessary for application to cover shortfalls for other Series issued by the Master Trust, an amount equal to (x) all Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series, multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the sum of the Nominal Liquidation Amounts for each outstanding Tranche of the DiscoverSeries Notes (including the Class A(2022-4) Notes) and the denominator of which is (i) the Aggregate
Investor Interest for the Master Trust minus (ii) the sum of the Series Investor Interests for all such Series that provide that the Series Principal Collections allocated to such Series will be so deposited, is hereby designated to be
included in the Excess Spread Amount and shall be treated as Series Finance Charge Amounts for the DiscoverSeries. 
 Section 2.11
Variable Accumulation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.02 of the Indenture Supplement, the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, delay the commencement
of the Accumulation Period for the Class A(2022-4) Notes and determine a new Accumulation Commencement Date, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.11; provided, however,
that the Accumulation Period shall commence no later than the first day of the Due Period related to the Expected Maturity Date for the Class A(2022-4) Notes. To the extent that the Calculation Agent has
previously delayed the commencement of the Accumulation Commencement Date pursuant to this Section 

  
 11 

 
2.11, the Calculation Agent may subsequently accelerate the commencement of the Accumulation Commencement Date, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.11. Any adjustments by
the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer to the Accumulation Commencement Date shall be made no later than the earlier to occur of (x) the first day of the initial Due Period of the proposed Accumulation Period (after giving effect to the
current adjustment and all prior adjustments to the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.11) and (y) the last day of the Due Period immediately preceding the first Due Period of the currently scheduled
Accumulation Period (after giving effect to any prior adjustments in the commencement of the Accumulation Period pursuant to this Section 2.11). 

The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall cause any such adjustment if the Calculation Agent determines in good faith that each of
the following conditions will be satisfied: (i) the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee a certificate to the effect that the Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer reasonably believes that, based on
the payment rate and the anticipated availability of Series Principal Amounts and Reallocated Principal Amounts, (x) the adjustment to the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the
Class A(2022-4) Notes will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date (as defined in the applicable Terms Document) and, (y) if such adjustment
is an acceleration of the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class A(2022-4) Notes, the resulting Accumulation Period for the Class A(2022-4)
Notes is the shortest Accumulation Period for the Class A (2022-4) Notes that will not result in any Tranche of Notes not being paid in full on the relevant Expected Maturity Date (as defined in the
applicable Terms Document); (ii) such adjustment is permitted under the Series 2007-CC Supplement or any other applicable agreement relating to any Additional Collateral Certificate; and (iii) the
Accumulation Amount, the Accumulation Commencement Date and the Accumulation Period Length shall have been adjusted. The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall not be required to obtain confirmation from the applicable Note Rating Agencies
that any such adjustment in the commencement of the Accumulation Period will not result in a Ratings Effect for any Tranche of Outstanding DiscoverSeries Notes. The Calculation Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall provide written notice to each
applicable Note Rating Agency in the event that the commencement of the Accumulation Period for the Class A(2022-4) Notes is adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.11. 

Section 2.12 Seller’s Interest to Be Included in the Monthly Statement. The Issuer shall cause the Master
Servicer to include the amount of the Seller’s Interest as of the Seller’s Interest Measurement Date on each investor certificateholder’s monthly statement delivered pursuant to the Series
2007-CC Supplement. 
 Section 2.13 Duties of the Indenture Trustee. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any Series Supplement and this Agreement and as such
shall have no obligation or responsibility to monitor or enforce compliance with Regulation RR, nor shall be liable to any Person for any violation of Regulation RR; provided that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall alter the Indenture
Trustee’s duties, obligations or standard of care as set forth in the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. It is understood and acknowledged that the Indenture Trustee has not provided any advice with respect to the acquisition of the Class A(2022-4) Notes, and has no financial interest in the acquisition of such Class A(2022-4) Notes.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

This Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 5.03%
Class A(2022-4 DiscoverSeries Notes (herein called the “Class A(2022-4) Notes”), all issued under an Amended and Restated
Indenture dated as of December 22, 2015 (such Indenture, as may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture”), as
supplemented by a Second Amended and Restated Indenture Supplement for the DiscoverSeries Notes, dated as of December 22, 2015 (such Indenture 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(2022-4) Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the
Terms Document. All terms used in this Class A(2022-4) 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(2022-4) 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(2022-4) Notes will be payable on the Expected Maturity Date in an amount described on the face hereof except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A(2022-4) Note shall be due
and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A(2022-4) Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default
relating to the Class A(2022-4) Notes shall have occurred and be continuing and, except in the event of an 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(2022-4) Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 702 of the Indenture; provided, however, that such acceleration of the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be rescinded by the Majority Holders of such applicable Series, Class or
Tranche of Notes. 
 On any day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate Nominal Liquidation Amount of any Tranche of Notes is
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 redemption. 

 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. 

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Holder of Class A(2022-4) Notes
of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution with respect to this Class A(2022-4) Note) such Holder’s 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(2022-4) 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(2022-4) Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class A(2022-4) Note on the Note Register
as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Class A(2022-4) Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the clearing agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. 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(2022-4) Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A(2022-4) 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(2022-4) Note and of any Class A(2022-4) 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(2022-4) Note on a Payment Date, 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(2022-4) 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. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein and as set forth in the first legend on the face hereof, the transfer of this Class A(2022-4) Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A(2022-4) Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New
York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, or a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Class A(2022-4) Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A(2022-4) Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or 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(2022-4) Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A(2022-4) Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting
the benefits of the Indenture it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as a depositor with respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the
Issuer, any Master Trust or any special purpose entity that acts as a depositor with respect to any Master Trust or the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture, any Derivative Agreement, any Supplemental Credit Enhancement Agreement and any Supplemental Liquidity Agreement. 

By acquiring a Class A(2022-4) Note (or interest therein), each Noteholder or Note Owner (and its
fiduciary, if applicable) shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either: (a) it is not acquiring the Class A(2022-4) Note (or interest therein) with the assets of (i) an “employee
benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” as described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” of the foregoing (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a
“Benefit Plan Investor”) or (iv) a plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar
Law”); or (b) the acquisition and holding of the Class A(2022-4) Note (or interest therein) will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or a violation of any Similar Law. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Class A(2022-4) Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Class A(2022-4) Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class A(2022-4) Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of each adversely affected
Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Class A(2022-4) Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A(2022-4) Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A(2022-4) Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture
Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 

 The term “Issuer” as used in this
Class A(2022-4) Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is
permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture. 

The Class A(2022-4) Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in
the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 
 THIS CLASS A(2022-4) NOTE AND
THE INDENTURE WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A(2022-4) 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(2022-4) Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under the Indenture or any
certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, 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(2022-4) 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 to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this
Class A(2022-4) Note.
