A finite increasing sequence \(a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}\) of natural numbers is given, where \(n \geq 3\), and for all \(k \leq n-2\) the following equality holds: \(a_{k+2} = 3a_{k+1} - 2a_{k} - 2\). The sequence must include \(a_{k} = 2022\). Determine the maximum number of three-digit numbers, divisible by 4, that this sequence can contain.
