SENIOR GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES [D/E]
(Fixed Rate)
Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover & Co., a Delaware
corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to bearer, upon surrender hereof,
the principal amount specified in Schedule A hereto, on the Maturity Date
specified above (except to the extent previously redeemed or repaid) and to
pay interest thereon at the Interest Rate per annum specified above from
and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above until but excluding
the date the principal amount is paid or duly made available for payment,
annually in arrears on the Interest Payment Date specified above in each
year commencing on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest
Accrual Date specified above, and at maturity (or on any redemption or
repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date
occurs fifteen days or less prior to the first Interest Payment Date
occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest payments will commence
on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date.
Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from
and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the
principal amount hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment.
Upon any payment of interest on this Note, the Principal Paying Agent (as
defined below) shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect such payment. No payment on this Note will be made at any office
or agency of the Issuer in the United States or by check mailed to an
address in the United States (as defined below) or by wire transfer to an
account maintained by the holder of this Note with a bank in the United
States except as may be permitted under United States federal tax laws and
regulations then in effect without adverse tax consequences to the Issuer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that payment in U.S. dollars of
the full amount payable on this Note at the offices of all Paying Agents
(as defined below) would be illegal or effectively precluded as a result of
exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note will be
made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency, under
applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, no payment of principal
or interest shall be made on any portion of this Note unless there shall
have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion
of this Note with respect to which such principal or interest is to be
paid. Such certificate shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying
Agent by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedel Bank,
societe anonyme ("Cedel") and/or any other relevant clearing system
(including Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs
Mobilieres and the Intermediaires financiers habilites authorized to
maintain accounts therein ("SICOVAM")) as the case may be, and shall be
based on a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto
provided to the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant
clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders who
are to receive such payment of principal or interest.
This Note is issued in temporary global bearer form and
represents all or a portion of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global
Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E] (the "Notes"), issued under a Senior
Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental
Senior Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Senior

trustee under the Senior Indenture) as further supplemented by a Third
Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of June 1, 1997 between the Issuer and
the Trustee (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), to which Senior
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Issuer has appointed The Chase Manhattan Bank (formerly known as Chemical
Bank), London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the
"Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor

Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is governed by
the terms and conditions of the Permanent Global Fixed Rate Senior Bearer Note
(the "Permanent Global Bearer Note") to be issued in exchange for this Note,

and/or any other relevant clearing system, acting on behalf of the owner of a
beneficial interest in this Note, to the Principal Paying Agent upon delivery
to the Principal Paying Agent of a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion of this Note to be exchanged.
Such certificate shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent by
the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant clearing system, as
the case may be, and shall be based on a certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit B hereto provided to the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other
relevant clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders
having an interest in the portion hereof to be exchanged. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if this Note is subject to a tax redemption as described on the
reverse of the Permanent Global Bearer Note attached hereto, interests in this

Upon any payment of interest on this Note, the Principal Paying Agent (as

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that payment in U.S. dollars of
the full amount payable on this Note at the offices of all Paying Agents
(as defined below) would be illegal or effectively precluded as a result of
exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note will be
made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency, under
applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, no payment of principal
or interest shall be made on any portion of this Note unless there shall
have been delivered to the Principal Paying Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto with respect to the portion
of this Note with respect to which such principal or interest is to be
paid. Such certificate shall have been delivered to the Principal Paying
Agent by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as

(including Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs
Mobilieres and the Intermediaires financiers habilites authorized to

of Exhibit B hereto provided to the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other
relevant clearing system, as the case may be, by those of its account holders
having an interest in the portion hereof to be exchanged. Notwithstanding the
