the Series 2004-A Notes (after giving effect to any reductions pursuant to
Section 3.03 for Investor Charge-Offs).

Notes (computed immediately before giving effect to such deposit but after
giving effect to any reductions thereof due to any Investor Charge-Offs and
any reallocations of the Series 2004-A Available Principal Amount on such

notified the Indenture Trustee that they desire to exercise the Put
Feature in respect of their Series 2004-A Notes; or
(ii) the Majority Holders of the Series 2004-A Notes have notified
the Indenture Trustee that they desire to exercise the Put Feature in
respect of their Series 2004-A Notes and the net proceeds of the sale of

18
(as described below) plus amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding

Notes; or
(iii) (A) the Indenture Trustee determines that the funds to be
allocated to the Series 2004-A Notes, including (1) Series 2004-A

Indenture Trustee shall cause the CARCO Trust to sell Principal Receivables
and the related Non-Principal Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount
up to the Series 2004-A Nominal Liquidation Amount plus any past due interest

Series 2004-A Notes immediately before giving effect to such deposit; and
(ii) second, to be deposited in the Interest Funding Account, the
balance of such sales proceeds.

will be treated as part of the Series 2004-A Available Interest Amount.
19
SECTION 3.16. Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR.
(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Series 2004-A
Notes are Outstanding, there shall at all times be an agent appointed to
calculate LIBOR for each Interest Period (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee as the Calculation Agent for
purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent
may be removed by the Issuer at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable
or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation
Agent fails to determine LIBOR for an Interest Period, the Issuer shall
promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent that does not control or is
not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates.
The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties, and the Issuer may not remove
the Calculation Agent, without a successor having been duly appointed and
having accepted such appointment.
(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
determine LIBOR for the following Interest Period to equal the offered rate
for Unites States dollar deposits for one month that appears on Telerate Page
3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such date. If that rate appears on
Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be that rate. If on any LIBOR Determination
Date the offered rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation
Agent will request each of the Reference Banks, to provide the Calculation
Agent with its offered quotation for United States dollar deposits for one
month to prime banks in the London interbank market as of 11:00 A.M., London
time, on the date. If at least two Reference Banks provide the Calculation
Agent with the offered quotations, LIBOR on that date will be the arithmetic
mean, rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%
(.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, of
all the quotations. If on that date fewer than two Reference Banks provide the
Calculation Agent with the offered quotations, LIBOR on that date will be the
arithmetic mean, rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%
(.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, of
the offered per annum rates that one or more leading banks in The City of New
York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as of 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on that date to leading European banks for United States dollar
deposits for one month. If, however, those banks are not quoting as described
above, LIBOR for that date will be LIBOR applicable to the Interest Period
immediately preceding that Interest Period.
(c) The Series 2004-A Note Interest Rate, applicable to the then
current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods, may be obtained by
telephoning the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office at (212)
000-0000 or such other telephone number as shall be designated by the
Indenture Trustee for such purpose by prior written notice by the Indenture
Trustee to each Series 2004-A Noteholder from time to time.
(d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
send to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, by facsimile transmission,
notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
20
SECTION 3.17. Excess Available Interest Amounts Sharing.
(a) Shared Excess Available Interest Amounts allocable to Series
2004-A on any Payment Date shall be treated as part of the Series 2004-A
Available Interest Amount for such Payment Date.
(b) The Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to Series
2004-A with respect to any Payment Date shall mean an amount equal to the
Series 2004-A Available Interest Amount Shortfall, if any, for such Payment
Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess
Available Interest Amounts for all series of Notes for such Payment Date is
less than the Aggregate Series Available Interest Amount Shortfall for such
Payment Date, then the Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to
Series 2004-A on such Payment Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared
Excess Available Interest Amounts for all series of Notes and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is the Series 2004-A Available Interest Amount
Shortfall for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate
amount of Aggregate Series Available Interest Amount Shortfall for all series
of Notes for such Payment Date.
(c) Any Shared Excess Available Interest Amount that is not required
to be applied to make a payment or deposit in respect of a series of Notes
shall be paid to the Issuer.
SECTION 3.18. Excess Available Principal Amounts Sharing.
(a) The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to Series
2004-A on any Payment Date shall be treated as part of the Series 2004-A
Available Principal Amount for such Payment Date.
(b) The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to Series
2004-A with respect to any Payment Date shall mean an amount equal to the
Series 2004-A Available Principal Amount Shortfall, if any, for such Payment
Date; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess
Available Principal Amounts for all series of Notes for such Payment Date is
less than the Aggregate Series Available Principal Amount Shortfall for such
Payment Date, then the Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to
Series 2004-A on such Payment Date shall equal the product of (i) Shared
Excess Available Principal Amounts for all series of Notes and (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Series 2004-A Available Principal
Amount Shortfall for such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the
aggregate amount of Aggregate Series Available Principal Amount Shortfall for
all series of Notes for such Payment Date.
(c) Any Shared Excess Available Principal Amount not required to be
applied to make a payment or deposit in respect of a series of Notes shall be
paid to the CARCO Trust Trustee to be applied as Excess Available Principal
Amounts pursuant to Section 4.04(a) of the Series 2002-CC Supplement.
SECTION 3.19. Computation of Interest.
(a) Interest on the Series 2004-A Notes shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related
Interest Period.
21
(b) Unless otherwise specified in this Indenture Supplement,
interest for any period will be calculated from and including the first day of
such period to and including the last day of such period.
SECTION 3.20. Variable Accumulation Period.
The Issuer, acting directly or through the Administrator, may elect,
by written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Beneficiary, to delay, from
time to time, the commencement of the Accumulation Period, and extend the
length of the Revolving Period, subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 3.20; provided, however, that the Accumulation Period shall commence
no later than the first day of the Monthly Period ending immediately prior to
the Series 2004-A Expected Final Payment Date. Any such election by the Issuer
shall be made not later than the first day of the last scheduled Monthly
Period of the Revolving Period (including any prior extension of the Revolving
Period pursuant to this Section 3.20). The Issuer may make such election only
if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee a
certificate to the effect that the Issuer reasonably believes that the
delay in the commencement of the Accumulation Period would not result in
the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2004-A Notes not
being paid in full on the Series 2004-A Expected Principal Payment Date;
(ii) the Note Rating Agencies shall have advised the Issuer that
such election to delay the commencement of the Accumulation Period would
not cause the rating of any class of any series of Notes then outstanding
to be lowered or withdrawn; and
(iii) the amount to be deposited in the Principal Funding Account in
respect of Controlled Accumulation Amount shall have been adjusted.
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to the contrary, the
Administrator may, on behalf of the Issuer, (i) perform all such calculations
as are necessary to determine whether the Accumulation Period may be delayed
pursuant to this Section 3.20 and (ii) elect to delay the Accumulation Period
pursuant to this Section 3.20.
SECTION 3.21. Payments to the Issuer. As an administrative
convenience for the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Beneficiary
all amounts payable hereunder to the Issuer. The Issuer shall give the
Indenture Trustee written instructions as to who the Beneficiary is or
Beneficiaries are and where to make such payments.
SECTION 3.22. Payment Instructions and Monthly Noteholders' Report.
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or herein to the contrary, the
Issuer may amend the form of Payment Instruction for the Series 2004-A Notes
and the Series 2004-A Schedule to Monthly Noteholders' Statement from time to
time without the consent of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder if it
receives written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that such amendment
will not cause a Ratings Effect.

2004-A Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on the Series 2004-A
Notes in the event LIBOR is equal to or greater than the prime rate upon
which interest on the Receivables is calculated on the applicable LIBOR
Determination Date will be considered an Early Redemption Event only if

consecutive days following such LIBOR Determination Date ;
(6) any Service Default occurs;

case under any chapter of the Federal bankruptcy laws; or the CARCO Trust
shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization,

trustee, assignee, sequestrator or other similar official in bankruptcy
or insolvency of it or of any substantial part of its property; or the

winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and
such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of 120 days.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, in the case of
any event described in clause (1), (2) or (6) above, an Early Redemption Event
with respect to Series 2004-A will be deemed to have occurred only if, after
the applicable grace period described in such clause, if any, either the
Indenture Trustee or Series 2004-A Noteholders holding Series 2004-A Notes
evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the
Series 2004-A Notes by written notice to the Seller, the Servicer, the CARCO
Trust Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, if given by Series 2004-A
Noteholders, declare that an Early Redemption Event with respect to the Series
2004-A Notes has occurred as of the date of that notice. In the case of any
Early Redemption Event described in Section 9.01(h) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or any event described in clause (3), (4), (5), (7), (8),
(9), (10), (11), (12) or (13) above, an Early Redemption Event with respect to

other action on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Series 2004-A
Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, if (x) an Early
Redemption Period results from the failure by DCWR to convey Receivables in
Additional Accounts to the CARCO Trust, as described in clause (4) above
during the Revolving Period, (y) no other Early Redemption Event that has not
been cured or waived in accordance with the Indenture has occurred and (z)
each Note Rating Agency has confirmed that recommencing the Revolving Period
will not cause a Ratings Effect, then the Early Redemption Period resulting
from such
24
failure will terminate and the Revolving Period will recommence as of the end
of the first Collection Period during which the Seller would no longer be
required to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts to the CARCO Trust;
provided that the Revolving Period will not recommence if the scheduled
termination date of the Revolving Period has occurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.01, if an Early
Redemption Event (other than an Early Redemption Event specified in clause
(3), (12) or (13) above and the Early Redemption Event specified in Section
1201(c) of the Indenture) has occurred and the scheduled termination of the
Revolving Period has not occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall request from
Standard & Poor's a confirmation that such Early Redemption Event will not
cause a Ratings Effect. If the Indenture Trustee receives such confirmation
and the Majority Holders of Series 2004-A Notes consent to the recommencement
of the Revolving Period, the related Early Redemption Period shall terminate
and the Revolving Period shall recommence.
ARTICLE V

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer,
designated as its Floating Rate Auto Dealer Loan Asset Backed Notes, Series
2004-A (the "Notes" or "Series 2004-A Notes"), all issued under an Indenture,
dated as of June 1, 2002 (as amended, restated and supplemented from time to
time, the "Indenture"), as supplemented by a Series 2004-A Indenture
Supplement, dated as of January 1, 2004 (as amended, restated and supplemented
from time to time, the "Indenture Supplement"), each between the Issuer and
The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee," which
term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto 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 Notes are subject to
all terms of the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. All terms used in
this Note that are defined in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement, each
as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or
pursuant to the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement.
The Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Notes will be payable on the Expected Principal
Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. Upon the occurrence of
certain events specified in the Indenture or the Indenture Supplement,
payments of principal of the Notes may be made prior to or after the Expected
Principal Payment Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note
shall be due and payable on the Legal Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be due and
payable following an Event of Default 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 holders of not less than
a majority of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes. All
principal payments on the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders
entitled thereto.
On any day occurring on or after the date on which the aggregate
Nominal Liquidation Amount of the Series 2004-A Notes is reduced to less than
10% of the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2004-A Notes, the
Servicer has the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Issuer to redeem
the Series 2004-A Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to Section 1202 of
the Indenture equal the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series
2004-A Notes, plus interest accrued and unpaid to but excluding the date of
redemption.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the
Beneficiary may, from time to time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the
Issuer, to issue one or more series or classes of notes.
On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each
Series 2004-A Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the
final distribution with respect to this Note) such Series 2004-A Noteholder'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
A-4
Series 2004-A Notes. Final payments of this Note will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or offices therein
specified.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment
Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in
full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor
Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to 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 Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of
this 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 Note and
of any 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 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 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, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this 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
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 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.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees
that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the
obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in
connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or 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 Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
A-5
its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of
the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except
as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by
applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.
Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the
case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees
that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that it will not at any time
institute against DaimlerChrysler Wholesale Receivables LLC, the CARCO Trust
or the Issuer, or join in any institution against DaimlerChrysler Wholesale
Receivables LLC, the CARCO Trust or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation 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 or any
Derivative Agreement.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this 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 Note is 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 a majority of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all
Notes at the time Outstanding. 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 Note (or any
one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this 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 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 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 Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as
provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE AND THE INDENTURE SUPPLEMENT WILL BE

5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
