The certificates are subordinated, bear no interest, and have no maturity date. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other points to consider include: o the outstanding principal of each class of notes is due by its maturity date (each a "Legal Final"), o the offered securities will be issued on or about March 12, 2001 in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company, Clearstream and the Euroclear System, and o by March 12, 2001, three nationally recognized rating agencies will rate the offered securities in the highest investment rating category. RECEIVABLES POOL On March 12, 2001, the trust will use the proceeds from the issuance of the securities to purchase a pool of automobile and light duty truck receivables from the seller. Collections on this pool of receivables will be the trust's principal source of funds for making payments on the securities. The following information about the receivables is as of February 27, 2001 (the "Cut-off Date"). The receivables pool had the following characteristics: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Composition of the Receivables Pool As of February 27, 2001 Aggregate Principal Balance $1,974,999,135.90 ..................................................................... Number of Receivables 123,748 ..................................................................... Average Principal Balance $15,959.85 ..................................................................... Weighted Average APR 6.74% ..................................................................... Weighted Average Original Term 56.26 months ..................................................................... Weighted Average Remaining Term 51.03 months ..................................................................... As a Percentage of the Aggregate Principal Balance: ..................................................................... Receivables with Recourse to Dealers 0.97% --------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, as of February 27, 2001, approximately 12.96% of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables was CFC Gold Key Plus Receivables. CFC Gold Key Plus Receivables require a fixed, level monthly payment from the obligor and a final "Fixed Value Payment" which is materially greater than the scheduled monthly payments. The Fixed Value Payment is not included in the aggregate principal balance of the securitized receivables. Collections of finance charges on CFC Gold Key Plus Receivables will be allocated, first, to the finance charges accrued on principal other than the Fixed Value Payment and then to the finance charges on the Fixed Value Payment. Collections of finance charges on the Fixed Value Payment will not be applied to payments on the notes and will be released to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. Liquidation proceeds in respect of a liquidated CFC Gold Key Plus Receivable will be applied, first, to payments due in respect of principal other than its Fixed Value Payment, which proceeds will be available for payments on the notes. Any remaining liquidation proceeds will be applied to payments due in respect of the Fixed Value Payment and will be released to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. The receivables pool had the following new vehicle/used vehicle distribution: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New/Used Distribution of the Receivables Pool As of February 27, 2001 ------------------------------------- New Used ------------------------------------- Aggregate Principal Balance $1,726,008,566.63 $248,990,569.27 Percentage of Aggregate Principal Balance 87.39% 12.61% Number of Receivables 106,323 17,425 Percentage of Receivables 85.92% 14.08% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The receivables pool had the following distribution by APR: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distribution by APR of the Receivables Pool As of February 27, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number of Aggregate Percent of Aggregate APR Range Receivables Principal Balance Principal Balance(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0.00% to 5.00% 43,139 $844,404,831.26 42.8% ................................................................................................ 5.01% to 6.00% 4,407 52,678,731.80 2.7% ................................................................................................ 6.01% to 7.00% 4,963 51,096,757.70 2.6% ................................................................................................ 7.01% to 8.00% 6,931 77,696,990.68 3.9% ................................................................................................ 8.01% to 9.00% 13,197 189,390,783.19 9.6% ................................................................................................ 9.01% to 10.00% 12,997 191,023,826.71 9.7% ................................................................................................ 10.01% to 11.00% 11,410 174,100,887.89 8.8% ................................................................................................ 11.01% to 12.00% 9,114 141,822,758.89 7.2% ................................................................................................ 12.01% to 13.00% 6,429 96,442,289.55 4.9% ................................................................................................ 13.01% to 14.00% 4,028 57,028,744.91 2.9% ................................................................................................ 14.01% to 15.00% 2,266 31,627,147.86 1.6% ................................................................................................ 15.01% to 16.00% 1,266 17,229,892.48 0.9% ................................................................................................ 16.01% to 17.00% 916 13,516,637.42 0.7% ................................................................................................ 17.01% to 18.00% 1,106 15,827,162.83 0.8% ................................................................................................ 18.01% to 19.00% 424 5,980,097.63 0.3% ................................................................................................ 19.01% to 20.00% 1,143 15,002,217.17 0.8% ................................................................................................

The seller believes its selection procedures are not adverse to securityholders. NET CREDIT LOSS AND DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE Net credit loss experience is dependent upon general economic conditions, the number of repossessions, the amount of principal and accrued interest outstanding on the receivable at the time of repossession, and the resale values of the repossessed vehicles. The following tables detail the net credit loss, repossession and delinquency experience of CFC's United States portfolio of new and used automobile and light duty truck retail receivables. The information includes: o an immaterial amount of retail receivables secured by vehicles other than automobiles and light duty trucks, and o previously sold contracts which CFC continues to service. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts and percentages are based on estimated gross collections, including principal and interest. We cannot assure you that the delinquency, repossession and net credit loss experience on the receivables sold to the trust will be comparable to the following historical experience. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CFC Net Credit Loss and Repossession Experience Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Average Portfolio Outstanding $30,590 $26,191 $23,581 $21,485 $21,062 During the Period ($ Millions) ......................................................................................................

Interest Payments o The first interest payment will be calculated on the original principal amount of each class of notes at the applicable per annum interest rate. o Subsequent interest payments will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of each note class as of the prior payment date (after giving effect to any payment of principal on that date) at the applicable per annum interest rate. o To calculate interest due on the A-1 notes on a payment date, the per annum interest rates will be converted from an annual rate as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days in Initial Days in Subsequent Day Count Interest Accrual Period Interest Accrual Periods Convention --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To (including) (excluding) ........................................................................... 25 days Prior Current actual/360 payment date payment date ........................................................................... - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o To calculate the interest due on the A-2, A-3 and A-4 notes on a payment date, the per annum interest rates will be converted from an annual rate as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days in Initial For Subsequent Interest Day Count Interest Accrual Period Accrual Periods Convention --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 days 1/12th of per annum 30/360 interest rate ........................................................................... - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Interest payments on all classes of notes will have the same priority. If the available amount for interest payments, including the balance in the reserve fund, is less than the amount due, each class of notes will receive their pro rata share. Refer to the "Flow of Funds" section for information on how the amount available for interest payments is determined. Also refer to the "Credit Enhancement - Reserve Fund" section for information on how the reserve fund may be used to make interest payments. Principal Payments o The amount of principal payments on the securities on each payment date will generally equal the amount of principal that was collected on the receivables during the prior calendar month plus Excess Interest Collections minus the overcollateralization distribution amount. o Principal of each class of notes will generally be repaid over a span of several consecutive months. o The trust will pay principal sequentially to the earliest maturing class of notes then outstanding until such class is paid in full. o The certificates will not receive any principal payments until all notes are paid in full. o The trust is required to pay the outstanding principal of each class of notes by the applicable Legal Final. o The final principal payment on any class of notes could occur significantly earlier than its Legal Final. o The rate of principal payment on the notes will increase to the extent Excess Interest Collections are applied to pay note principal. Refer to the "Flow of Funds" section for information on how the amount available for principal payments is determined. Refer to the "Credit Enhancement" section for information on Excess Interest Collections. Optional Redemption The servicer will have the option to purchase all of the remaining receivables from the trust when their aggregate principal balance declines to an amount that is less than or equal to 10% of the initial aggregate principal balance of the receivables, or $197,499,914 or less. If the servicer decides to exercise this option, then the outstanding principal amounts of the A-4 notes and the certificates, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will be repaid in a lump sum payment. The lump sum payment under this optional redemption will shorten the maturity of the A-4 notes and certificates. FLOW OF FUNDS Sources of Funds Available for Distribution Funds from the following sources may be available to make payments on the securities on each payment date: o collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar month, o net recoveries received during the prior calendar month on receivables that were charged off as losses in prior months, o investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior calendar month, o administrative and/or warranty repurchases, and o the reserve fund. Application of Available Funds On each monthly payment date the total funds available (except for the reserve fund) will be distributed in the following order of priority: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monthly Flow of Funds ---------------------------------------------------- pay servicing fee ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay accrued interest on the notes ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- replenish reserve fund, if necessary, up to the initial amount ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-1 notes ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay the overcollateralization distribution amount, if any, to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-2 notes ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-3 notes ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-4 notes ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the certificates ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- distribute remaining balance, if any, to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC ---------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREDIT ENHANCEMENT The following forms of credit enhancement are intended to enhance the likelihood of full payment of principal and interest due to the noteholders and to decrease the likelihood that the noteholders will experience losses of principal or interest on their notes. Overcollateralization Overcollateralization is represented by the amount by which (i) the principal balance of receivables minus the yield supplement overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal balance of the securities. The initial overcollateralization amount of $65,308,023.62 is equal to the initial receivables balance of $1,974,999,135.90 minus the initial yield supplement overcollateralization amount of $49,225,112.28 minus the initial principal amount of the securities of $1,860,466,000.00. This excess collateral is intended to protect noteholders from losses on the receivables. The Trust will attempt to maintain an overcollateralization amount (i.e., the amount by which (i) the principal balance of the receivables minus the yield supplement overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal balance of the securities) at least equal to 4.00% of the amount equal to (x) the principal balance of the receivables as of the prior calendar month end minus (y) the yield supplement overcollateralization amount for that payment date. Once the Class A-1 Notes are paid in full, total funds available (except funds in the reserve fund) after paying the servicing fee, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes and any reserve fund deposit will be applied (i) to the payment of principal of the securities and (ii) to pay the overcollateralization distribution amount to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. As illustrated in the "Application of Available Funds" section, the trust may begin making payments of the overcollateralization distribution amount to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC on the same payment date on which the A-1 notes are paid in full. No overcollateralization distribution will be made in any month in which the balance of the reserve fund is below $4,651,165.00. The overcollateralization distribution amount to be distributed on each payment date will be the greater of: (i) $0.00 Or (ii) the lesser of (a) D - [S - (P x 96.00%)] or (b) D minus the A-1 notes balance immediately prior to the current payment date where: Total funds available ( accrued ) D = for distribution (except minus (servicing + interest on + reserve ) for the reserve fund) ( fee the notes fund deposit) S = The outstanding principal amount of the securities as of the prior payment date, after giving effect to payments made on that date P = The outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the prior calendar month end minus the YSOA for that payment date. YSOA = For each payment date, the amount set forth in the table under "Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount". Excess Interest Collections "Excess Interest Collections" are generally equal to (A) the sum of (i) interest collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar month, (ii) principal collections attributable to the reduction in the yield supplement overcollateralization amount from the prior payment date and (iii) investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior calendar month minus (B) the sum of (i) the servicing fee for the prior calendar month, (ii) accrued interest on the notes, and (iii) the amount, if any, required to replenish the reserve fund to $4,651,165.00. Excess Interest Collections provide an additional form of credit enhancement since they will be applied to the payment of principal of the securities to the extent described above under the "Flow of Funds - Application of Available Funds" section. If credit losses on receivables and delinquent receivables decrease the amount of interest collections received on the receivables in a month, Excess Interest Collections will be reduced or eliminated for such month. Reserve Fund o On March 12, 2001, the seller will provide funds from the proceeds of its sale of receivables to establish a $4,651,165.00 reserve fund. o The indenture trustee will hold the reserve fund for the benefit of the noteholders. o The reserve fund will be invested in high quality, short term investments which mature on or prior to each monthly payment date. o If the total funds available for distribution minus the servicing fee is less than accrued interest on the notes, the reserve fund will be available to make interest payments. o If a class of notes has not been paid in full on its Legal Final, the reserve fund will be applied to the payment of principal for that class of notes. o If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the prior calendar month end, the reserve fund will be applied to the payment of principal of the notes. o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, on each payment date the reserve fund will be reinstated up to the initial balance to the extent funds are available. o After full payment of all accrued interest on the notes and the outstanding principal balance of the securities, the reserve fund will be distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. Subordinated Certificates As additional credit enhancement, the certificates do not bear interest and will not receive any principal payments until the notes are paid in full. The payments on the certificates are subordinated to payments on the notes to decrease the likelihood that the trust will default in making payments due on the notes. YIELD SUPPLEMENT OVERCOLLATERALIZATION AMOUNT The sum of the servicing fee rate and the weighted average interest rate of the notes will exceed, on the date of issuance of the notes, and is expected to continue to exceed the weighted average APR of the Receivables. The yield supplement overcollateralization amount is intended to compensate for such negative differential. "Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount" means, with respect to any payment date, the amount specified below with respect to such payment date: Closing Date................... $49,225,112.28 March 2004................... $4,660,621.71 April 2001..................... 47,281,658.04 April 2004................... 4,159,829.15 May 2001....................... 45,377,056.94 May 2004..................... 3,689,660.61 June 2001...................... 43,511,489.78 June 2004.................... 3,250,156.52 July 2001...................... 41,685,061.55 July 2004.................... 2,841,333.99 August 2001.................... 39,897,722.29 August 2004.................. 2,463,268.02 September 2001................. 38,149,665.63 September 2004............... 2,116,071.77 October 2001................... 36,441,085.99 October 2004................. 1,799,843.24 November 2001.................. 34,772,178.63 November 2004................ 1,514,673.59 December 2001.................. 33,143,139.62 December 2004................ 1,260,403.76 January 2002................... 31,554,165.88 January 2005................. 1,036,604.03 February 2002.................. 30,005,455.13 February 2005................ 842,679.47 March 2002..................... 28,497,205.93 March 2005................... 677,949.33 April 2002..................... 27,029,599.07 April 2005................... 540,784.43 May 2002....................... 25,602,797.49 May 2005..................... 427,271.97 June 2002...................... 24,216,985.46 June 2005.................... 332,105.34 July 2002...................... 22,872,323.38 July 2005.................... 250,389.06 August 2002.................... 21,568,954.04 August 2005.................. 180,707.79 September 2002................. 20,306,985.48 September 2005............... 122,901.42 October 2002................... 19,086,574.31 October 2005................. 76,872.63 November 2002.................. 17,907,870.03 November 2005................ 42,344.55 December 2002.................. 16,771,019.06 December 2005................ 18,884.66 January 2003................... 15,676,181.97 January 2006................. 6,238.18 February 2003.................. 14,623,478.14 February 2006................ 1,471.28 March 2003..................... 13,612,855.64 March 2006................... 0.91 April 2003..................... 12,643,880.41 April 2006................... 0.68 May 2003....................... 11,715,815.15 May 2006..................... 0.49 June 2003...................... 10,828,768.27 June 2006.................... 0.33 July 2003...................... 9,982,819.36 July 2006.................... 0.20 August 2003.................... 9,177,917.65 August 2006.................. 0.10 September 2003................. 8,414,063.34 September 2006............... 0.03 October 2003................... 7,691,263.86 October 2006................. 0.00 November 2003.................. 7,008,943.36 December 2003.................. 6,365,815.41 January 2004................... 5,761,054.82 February 2004.................. 5,193,619.79 The yield supplement overcollateralization amount has been calculated for each payment date as the sum of the amount for each Receivable equal to the excess, if any, of o the scheduled payment due on such Receivable for each future collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the preceding collection period at the APR of such Receivable, over o the scheduled payments due on the Receivable for each future collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the preceding collection period at 4.75%. For purposes of such calculation, future scheduled payments on the Receivables are assumed to be made on their scheduled due dates without any delays, defaults or prepayments. SERVICING Compensation o The servicer will be compensated on a monthly basis. o The first servicing fee will be calculated on the original principal amount of the receivables at 1/12th of 1% per month. o For the first servicing fee calculation, the per annum servicing fee rate will be converted from an annual rate using the number of days from February 27, 2001 to March 31, 2001 on a 30/360 basis, or 34 days. o Subsequent servicing fees will be calculated on the principal balance of the receivables as of the first day of the prior calendar month at 1/12th of 1%. o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, the servicing fee will be paid out of the total funds available for distribution each month.
