arrears, on each Distribution Date in respect of any Collection Period (or
portion thereof) occurring prior to the first Distribution Date on which the

Date (the "Certificateholders' Monthly Servicing Fee") shall be equal to
one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the Invested
Amount as of the last day of the second Collection Period second preceding such
Distribution Date and shall be payable in the manner set forth in Section 4.6
and Section 4.10; provided, however, that with respect to the first Distribution
Date for Series [ ], clause (b) of this sentence shall be deemed to refer to the
Invested Amount on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect
to the first Distribution Date for Series [ ], each reference in the preceding
sentences of this Section to one-twelfth shall be deemed to be replaced by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from but excluding the
Closing Date to and including the last day of the month in which the Closing
Date occurs and the denominator of which is 360.
The remainder of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid by the Seller
and in no event shall the Trust, the Trustee or the Series [ ]
Certificateholders be liable for the share of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be
paid by the Seller; and the remainder of the Servicing Fee shall be paid by the
Seller and the Investor Certificateholders of other Series, the Trustee and the
Series [ ] Certificateholders shall in no event be liable for the share of the
Servicing Fee to be paid by the Seller or the Investor Certificateholders of
other Series. The Certificateholders' Monthly Servicing Fee shall be payable to
the Servicer solely to the extent amounts are available for distribution in
14
accordance with the terms of this Series Supplement or to the extent that
amounts may be netted with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this
Series Supplement or the Agreement.
The Servicer shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to waive the
Monthly Servicing Fee for any Distribution Date, in whole or in part, by notice
to the Trustee on or before the related Determination Date; provided that the
Servicer reasonably believes that sufficient Non-Principal Collections shall be
available on any future Distribution Date to pay the waived portion of Monthly
Servicing Fee. The waived portion of such Monthly Servicing Fee shall be paid on
a future Distribution Date to the extent amounts are available therefor pursuant
to Section 4.10(a) or to the extent that amounts may be netted with respect
thereto in accordance with the terms of this Series Supplement or the Agreement;
provided, however, that, to the extent any such waived Monthly Servicing Fee is
so paid, the related portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee to be paid by the
Seller shall be paid by the Seller to the Servicer.
If the Servicer is DFS, and payment of any portion of the Monthly
Servicing Fee to DFS on a Distribution Date would require a withdrawal from the
Reserve Fund, then absent affirmative notice to the Trustee by DFS to the
contrary, DFS shall be deemed to have waived payment of that portion on that
Distribution Date; provided that a deemed waiver described in this sentence
shall not occur on more than two Distribution Dates in any twelve month period
and shall not occur on any two consecutive Distribution Dates.
SECTION 3.2 Servicer Advances. On or before each Distribution Date, the
Servicer will deposit into the Collection Account as an advance (a "Servicer
Advance") an amount equal to the amount of interest due but unpaid on any
Receivable for the related Collection Period (but only to the extent that the
Servicer reasonably expects to recover that Servicer Advance from subsequent
payments on that delinquent Receivable). No Servicer Advance shall be made by
the Servicer for the principal portion of the Receivables or for Defaulted
Receivables. The Servicer shall reimburse itself for a Servicer Advance on the
subsequent Determination Date or Distribution Date (and, if necessary, on other
Determination Dates or Distribution Dates) out of funds collected on all
Receivables prior to the deposit of funds in the Collection Account.

Receivables Rate for the next Interest Period. Based on such Distribution Date

determine the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificate Rates for each Interest
Period on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Interest Period. The
Trustee shall notify the Servicer and the Listing Agent on each Adjustment Date
of the Trustee's determination of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR on each

is less than the Required Participation Amount for such Distribution Date
(calculated before giving effect to any deposits to be made on such
Distribution Date to the Excess Funding Account and any excess funding
account for any other Series in their revolving periods to be made on such
Distribution Date), then the Servicer shall direct the Trustee to deposit
(and the Trustee shall deposit) Available Investor Principal Collections
into the Excess Funding Account in an amount which shall reduce the
Invested Amount such that, together with the deposits to the excess
funding accounts, if any, (and any resulting reductions in the invested
amounts) for other outstanding Series in their revolving periods for such
Distribution Date, the Unconcentrated Pool Balance is equal to the
Required Participation Amount, and
(ii) second, an amount equal to the balance (such balance being part
of "Excess Principal Collections"), if any, of such Available Investor
Principal Collections shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.4 of
the Agreement.
For purposes of determining the amount to be applied pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above, allocations of the amounts to be deposited in the Excess Funding
Account and the excess funding account for other outstanding Series shall be
made pro rata on the basis of the invested amounts (including the Invested
Amount for Series [ ]).
If the Servicer has elected in respect of a Collection Period to make
withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account on a daily or weekly basis pursuant
to Section 4.12(b), then deposits into the Excess Funding Account required by
this Section 4.6(b) shall be made on each Business Day in such Collection Period
(if daily withdrawals and deposits have been elected) or on each Wednesday (or
the next succeeding Business Day if such Wednesday is not a Business Day) in
such Collection Period (if weekly withdrawals and deposits have been elected).
In the case of such election, the Unconcentrated Pool Balance referred to in
clause (B) above shall be the Unconcentrated Pool Balance on the preceding
Business Day, in the case of an election to make daily deposits and withdrawals,
and on the Monday next preceding the related Wednesday, in the case of an
election to make weekly deposits and withdrawals.
(c) On each Distribution Date (x) with respect to the Accumulation
Period or (y) an Early Amortization Period (if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge of such
23
Early Amortization Period), an amount equal to the Available Investor Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account shall be distributed in the
following priority:
(i) first, an amount equal to Monthly Principal for such
Distribution Date shall be deposited by the Servicer or the Trustee into
the Principal Funding Account; and
(ii) second, for each Distribution Date with respect to the
Accumulation Period (unless an Early Amortization Event has occurred), an
amount equal to the balance (such balance being part of "Excess Principal
Collections"), if any, of such Available Investor Principal Collections
shall be applied in accordance with the written instructions of the
Servicer in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Agreement.
SECTION 4.7 Distributions to Series [ ] Certificateholders. (1) The
Servicer shall direct the Trustee (by setting forth the amounts in Section
4.7(a)(i) in the related Distribution Date Statement) to make (and the Trustee
shall make) the following distributions at the following times from the Interest
Funding Account, the Principal Funding Account and the Excess Funding Account:
(i) on each Distribution Date, available amounts on deposit in the
Interest Funding Account shall be distributed to the Series [ ]

(ii) on each Special Payment Date (if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge of the Early Amortization Period) and on the
Expected Final Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in the Principal

in the following order of priority: (A) first, to the Class A
Certificateholders until the outstanding principal balance of the Class A
Certificates has been reduced to zero; (B) second, to the Class B
Certificateholders until the outstanding principal balance of the Class B
Certificates has been reduced to zero; and (C) to the Class C
Certificateholders until the outstanding principal balance of the Class C
Certificates has been reduced to zero; provided, however, that the maximum
amount distributed pursuant to this clause (ii) on any Distribution Date
shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (x) the sum of the outstanding
principal balance of the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates, over
(y) the sum of the unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs, Class B
Investor Charge-Offs and Class C Investor Charge-Offs, each on such
Distribution Date.
(b) The distributions to be made pursuant to this Section are subject to
the provisions of Sections 2.3, 9.2, 10.1 and 12.2 of the Agreement and Section
8.1 and 8.2 of this Series Supplement.
SECTION 4.8 Application of Reserve Fund. (1) If Investor Non-Principal
Collections and Investment Proceeds on any Distribution Date (plus the amount of
any Servicer Advance for such Distribution Date) are not sufficient to make the
entire distributions required on such Distribution
25
Date by Sections 4.6(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (viii), the Servicer
shall direct the Trustee to withdraw (and the Trustee shall withdraw) funds from
the Reserve Fund to the extent available therein, and apply such funds to
complete the distributions pursuant to Section 4.6(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(vi) and (viii) in the numerical order thereof.
(b) On the Termination Date, any funds in the Reserve Fund shall be
treated as Available Investor Principal Collections. Upon payment in full of the
outstanding principal balance of the Series [ ] Certificates, any funds
remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be paid to the Seller.
SECTION 4.9 Investor Charge-Offs. If on any Distribution Date (after
giving effect to the allocations, distributions, withdrawals and deposits to be
made on such Distribution Date) the balance of the Reserve Fund is zero, then
the Class C Invested Amount shall be reduced by the lesser of the Deficiency
Amount for that Distribution Date and the Investor Default Amount for that
Distribution Date (the lesser of such Deficiency Amount and such Investor
Default Amount being a "Class C Investor Charge-Off"). In the event that any
such reduction of the Class C Invested Amount would cause the Class C Invested
Amount to be a negative number, the Class C Invested Amount shall be maintained
at or reduced to zero, and the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of such excess (the amount of such reduction being a "Class B Investor
Charge-Off"). In the event that any such reduction of the Class B Invested
Amount would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the
Class B Invested Amount shall be maintained at or reduced to zero, and the Class
A Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such excess but not by more
than the Class A Invested Amount on such Distribution Date (the amount of such
reduction being a "Class A Investor Charge-Off"). Class A Investor Charge-Offs,
Class B Investor Charge-Offs and Class C Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter
be reimbursed (in that order) and the Class A Invested Amount, Class B Invested
Amount and Class C Invested Amount increased (in that order) (but not by an
amount in excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs,
Class B Investor Charge-Offs and Class C Investor Charge-Offs, as the case may
be) on any Distribution Date by the sum of (a) Allocable Miscellaneous Payments
with respect to such Distribution Date and (b) the amount allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.6(a)(vii). The Servicer shall
be responsible for calculating Class A, Class B and Class C Investor Charge-Offs
and shall give the Trustee notice thereof by setting forth such amounts in the
Distribution Date Statement.
SECTION 4.10 Excess Servicing. The Servicer shall direct the Trustee to
apply (and the Trustee shall so apply), on each Distribution Date, Excess
Servicing for such Distribution Date to make the following distributions in the
following priority:
(a) an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding amounts of the
Monthly Servicing Fee which have been previously waived pursuant to
Section 3.1 shall be distributed to the Servicer; and
(b) the balance, if any, shall be distributed to the Seller.
26
SECTION 4.11 Excess Principal Collections.
"Series [ ] Excess Principal Collections", with respect to any
Distribution Date, shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Series [
] Principal Shortfall, if any, for such Distribution Date and (b) an amount
equal to the product of (x) excess principal collections for all Series for such
Distribution Date and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series [ ]
Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date and the denominator of which is
the aggregate amount of principal shortfalls for all Series for such
Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.12 Excess Funding Account. (1) Any funds on deposit in the
Excess Funding Account at the beginning of the Accumulation Period or upon the
occurrence of an Early Amortization Event shall be deposited in the Principal
Funding Account. In addition, no funds shall be deposited in the Excess Funding
Account during the Accumulation Period or any Early Amortization Period.
(b) If (i) on any Determination Date during the Revolving Period there are
any funds in the Excess Funding Account and (ii) the Unconcentrated Pool Balance
at the end of the preceding Collection Period is greater than the Unconcentrated
Pool Balance at the end of the second preceding Collection Period, then, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 4.12(b) and to Sections 4.12(c) and (d),
the Invested Amount and the invested amounts (but, in each case, not in excess
of the initial principal amount of such Series) for all other outstanding Series
that provide for an excess funding account or similar arrangement and are in
their revolving periods shall be increased such that, after giving effect to
such increases, the Required Participation Amount is at least equal to the
Unconcentrated Pool Balance. On such Determination Date, the Servicer shall
notify the Trustee of the amount, if any, of such increase in the Invested
Amount and the Trustee shall withdraw from the Excess Funding Account and pay to
the Seller or allocate to one or more other Series, on the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in
the Invested Amount. To the extent that the Invested Amount is increased by any
payment to the Seller or any allocation to one or more other Series, the
Seller's Interest or such other Series' invested amount, as applicable, shall be
reduced by the amount of such payment. In addition, any increase in the Invested
Amount is subject to the condition that after giving effect to such increase the
Unconcentrated Pool Balance equals or exceeds the Required Participation Amount.
In connection with the foregoing, the Seller shall endeavor (taking into account
any seasonality experienced in the Accounts in the Trust) to minimize the
amounts on deposit, from time to time, in the Excess Funding Account.
The Seller may elect to make withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account
and the excess funding accounts or similar arrangements for other Series on a
daily or weekly basis during a Collection Period by giving the Trustee notice of
such election at least two Business Days and no more than five Business Days
prior to the commencement of such daily or weekly withdrawals. If such election
is made, then deposits into the Excess Funding Account and excess funding
accounts or similar arrangements for other Series shall be made on a similar
basis for the related Collection Period. If such election is for withdrawals on
a daily basis, then such withdrawals shall be made on each Business Day and the
Unconcentrated Pool Balance to be referenced shall be the
27
Unconcentrated Pool Balance on the next preceding Business Day. If such election
is for withdrawals on a weekly basis, then such withdrawals shall be made on
each Wednesday (or if such Wednesday is not a Business Day, then on the Business
Day next succeeding such Wednesday) and the Unconcentrated Pool Balance to be
referenced shall be the Unconcentrated Pool Balance on the preceding Monday.
(c) In the event that other Series issued by the Trust provide for excess
funding accounts or other arrangements similar to the Excess Funding Account
involving fluctuating levels of investments in Principal Receivables, (i) the
allocation of additional Principal Receivables to increase the Invested Amount
and the invested amounts of such other Series (and the related withdrawals from
the Excess Funding Account and the other excess funding or similar accounts)
shall be based on the proportion that the amount on deposit in the Excess
Funding Account bears to amounts on deposit in the excess funding accounts
(including the Excess Funding Account) of all Series providing for excess
funding accounts or such similar arrangements or to amounts otherwise similarly
available and (ii) the deposit of amounts into the Excess Funding Account and
the excess funding accounts of such other Series shall be pro rata based on the
proportion that the Invested Amount bears to the invested amounts (including the
Invested Amount) of all Series providing for excess funding accounts or such
similar arrangements.
(d) In the event that any other Series is in an amortization period, early
amortization period or accumulation period, the amounts of any withdrawals from
the Excess Funding Account shall be applied first to satisfy in full any then
applicable funding or payment requirements of such Series and second to make a
payment to the Seller. In the event that more than one other Series is in an
amortization period, early amortization period or accumulation period, the
amounts of any withdrawals from the Excess Funding Account shall be allocated
(and, if necessary, reallocated) among such Series as specified in the related
Supplements for such Series, to meet the funding or payment requirements of each
such Series first to satisfy in full all then applicable funding or payment
requirements of each such Series and second to make a payment to the Seller.
SECTION 4.13 Yield Supplement Account. On each Distribution Date prior to
the beginning of the Accumulation Period and prior to the occurrence of an Early
Amortization Event, the Trustee shall deposit Non-Principal Collections and
Investment Proceeds, if any--to the extent available pursuant to Section
4.6(a)(x)--into the Yield Supplement Account in an amount equal to the Yield
Supplement Account Deposit Amount, if any, for that Distribution Date.
If the Class A Monthly Interest, Class B Monthly Interest or Class C
Monthly Interest for any Distribution Date, determined as if the interest rate
were based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin, exceeds the applicable monthly
interest determined on the basis of the related Net Receivables Rate, the
Servicer shall direct the Trustee to withdraw (and the Trustee shall withdraw)
funds from the Yield Supplement Account, to the extent available, and apply
those funds to deposit the amount of such excess into the Interest Funding
Account first, for the benefit of the Class A Certificates, second, for the
benefit of the Class B Certificates, and third, for the benefit of the Class C
Certificates.
28
Any funds on deposit in the Yield Supplement Account at the beginning of
the Accumulation Period or upon the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event
shall be deposited in the Principal Funding Account.

the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
SECTION 9.5 Limitation of Class C Certificates. Each purchaser of a Class
C Certificate (other than Deutsche FRLP) (each, the "Purchaser") hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee and Deutsche FRLP, and hereby agrees with
the Trustee and Deutsche FRLP, and the Purchaser hereby acknowledges, as follows
(except to the extent that such provisions have been waived or modified by
Deutsche FRLP in accordance with the Agreement or this Series Supplement):
(1) The Class C Certificates have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
jurisdiction. Consequently, the Class C Certificates are not transferable
other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain provisions of this Series
Supplement.
34
(2) The Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" ("QIB")
within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and
is purchasing for its own account (and not for the account of others) or
as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs and have
executed a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Series
Supplement and have delivered a copy of such letter to Deutsche FRLP and
the Trustee). The Purchaser is aware that it (or any account for which it
is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment
in the Class C Certificates for an indefinite period, and it (or such
account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period.
(3) No sale, pledge or other transfer of any Class C Certificate may
be made by any Person unless (a) either (i) such sale, pledge or other
transfer is made to Deutsche FRLP, or (ii) so long as the Class C
Certificates are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a Person
whom the transferor reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting
for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary
or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given
that the sale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.
(4) The Class C Certificates may not be acquired by or for the
account of (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as defined in section 3(3) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")), that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a
plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose
underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in
the entity. By accepting and holding a Class C Certificate, the holder
thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not
within any of the categories described in the preceding sentence.
(5) The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded an
opportunity to request from Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. (the "Initial Purchaser"), and has received and reviewed,
all information which it has deemed necessary in connection with its
decision to purchase the Class C Certificates. The Purchaser acknowledges
that none of Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer, the Initial Purchaser nor any of
their respective affiliates or any Person representing any of them has
made any representation to it with respect to any information relating to
the offering or sale of the Class C Certificates, other than the
information contained in the private placement memorandum for the Class C
Certificates, a copy of which has been delivered to it.
(6) The Purchaser understands that all information furnished to it
by Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser or representatives
of Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser in connection with
its evaluation of an investment in the Class C Certificates was provided
to it on a confidential basis and it agrees not to disclose such
information, in whole or in part, to any other Person.
35
(7) The Purchaser further represents and warrants to Deutsche FRLP
and the Trustee that, except to the extent permitted in paragraphs (8) and
(9) below, the Purchaser: (i) is properly classified as a "corporation" as
described in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code which is created or organized
under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, and will not knowingly take any action which will cause it not
to be so classified; and (ii) is not an S corporation as described in
Section 1361 of the Code (an "S Corporation"), and will not knowingly take
any action which will cause it to be so classified.
(8) No Class C Certificates shall be transferred or sold to any
grantor trust, partnership or S Corporation (each a "Pass-Through Entity")
unless such entity represents that (i) not 25% or more (or that amount
which the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereto) may
subsequently indicate is an amount which prevents treating direct and/or
indirect owners of a Pass-Through Entity as partners in the Trust for
purposes of determining whether the Trust is a publicly traded
partnership) of the value of the assets of the Pass-Through Entity is
attributable to the Pass-Through Entity's ownership interest in
certificates issued by the Trust other than the Class A and Class B
Certificates and (ii) the Pass-Through Entity does not specially allocate
to any of its beneficiaries amounts received in respect of certificates
issued by the Trust other than Class A and Class B Certificates. Any
purported transfer, assignment or other conveyance (including any
participation) of the Class C Certificates in contravention of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio and the
purported transferor shall continue to be treated as the owner of such
Class C Certificates and the purported transferee shall not be recognized
as a Class C Certificateholder by Deutsche FRLP or the Trustee.
(9) No Class C Certificates shall be transferred or sold to any
foreign investor ("Foreign Investor") which does not make the
representations contained in Annex 1 to the representation letter required
to be signed by a purchaser in connection with the purchase of Class C
Certificates. A Foreign Investor for this purpose includes any person who
is not: (1) a citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation
or partnership or other entity treated for Federal income tax purposes as
a corporation or a partnership created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (3)
an estate, the income of which is subject to United States Federal income
tax, regardless of its source; or (4) a trust if a U.S. court is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one
or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the
extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on
August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons under the Code and
applicable Treasury regulations prior to that date, that elect to continue
to be treated as United States persons under the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations will not be Foreign Investors.
(10) The Purchaser confirms that is has neither acquired nor will it
sell, trade or transfer any interest in any Class C Certificate or cause
an interest in any Class C Certificate to be marketed on or through (i) an
"established securities market" within the meaning of
36
Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final
treasury regulation thereunder, including, without limitation, an
over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly
disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (ii) "secondary market" or
"substantial equivalent thereof" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2)
of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final treasury regulation
thereunder, including a market wherein interests in the Class C
Certificates are regularly quoted by any person making a market in those
interests and a market wherein any person regularly makes available bid or
offer quotes with respect to interests in the Class C Certificates and
stands ready to effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for
itself or on behalf of others. Any purported transfer, assignment or other
conveyance of any Class C Certificate in contravention of the foregoing
covenant will be null and void ab initio and the purported transferor will
continue to be treated as the holder of such Class C Certificate and the
purported transferee will not be recognized as a Class C Certificateholder
by Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Trustee.
(11) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the aggregate
number of Private Holders exceed 100. Any purported transfer, assignment
or other conveyance (including any participation) of the Class C
Certificates in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will
be null and void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to
be treated as the holder of those Class C Certificates and the purported
transferee will not be recognized as a Class C Certificateholder by
Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Trustee. "Private Holder" means each
holder of a right to receive interest or principal in respect of any
direct or indirect interest in the Trust, including any financial
instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or part
by reference to the Trust (including the Trust's assets, income of the
Trust or distributions made by the Trust), excluding any interest in the
Trust represented by any series or class of certificates or any other
interests as to which the Trustee has received an opinion of counsel to
the effect that that series, class or other interest will be treated as
debt or otherwise not as an equity interest in either the Trust or the
Receivables for federal income tax purposes (unless that interest is
convertible or exchangeable into an interest in the Trust or the Trust's
income or that interest provides for payment of equivalent value).
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, "Private Holder" will
also include any other person that Deutsche FRLP determines is a "partner"
within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations (including by reason of Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) or any
successor provision of law. Any person holding more than one interest in
the Trust, each of which separately would cause that person to be a
Private Holder, will be treated as a single Private Holder. Each holder of
an interest in a Private Holder which is a partnership, S corporation or a
grantor trust under the Code will be treated as a Private Holder unless
excepted with the consent of Deutsche FRLP (which consent will be based on
an opinion of counsel generally to the effect that the action taken
pursuant to the consent will not cause the Trust to become a publicly
traded partnership treated as a corporation). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, each Class C Certificateholder, and each holder of
any Class of any Series if with respect to such Class no opinion is
delivered to the effect that the Certificates of such Class will be
treated as debt for federal income tax purposes, will be considered to be
a Private Holder.
37
(12) The Class C Certificates will be issued in denominations of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. No Class
C Certificate may be subdivided upon transfer or exchange in a manner so
that the resulting Class C Certificate if it had been sold in the original
offering would have had an initial offering price of less than $1,000,000
and any purported transfer, assignment or conveyance of a Class C
Certificate in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will be
void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as
the owner of that Class C Certificate for all purposes.
(13) Without limiting the foregoing, no transfer, pledge, assignment
or conveyance may be made to any one Person for Class C Certificates with
a face amount of less than $1,000,000 and, in the case of any Person
acting on behalf of one or more third parties (other than a bank (as
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) acting in its fiduciary
capacity), for Class C Certificates with a face amount of less than that
amount for each of those third parties. Any purported transfer, assignment
or conveyance in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will
be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated
as the owner of the Class C Certificates for all purposes. Neither
Deutsche FRLP nor the Trustee will be obligated to register the Class C
Certificates under the Securities Act, qualify the Class C Certificates
under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to
any purchaser or holder thereof.
(14) No transfer, assignment or conveyance of a Class C Certificate
will be effective unless Deutsche FRLP and the Trustee shall have received
a letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Series
Supplement, from the transferee, assignee or recipient of the conveyance.
(15) The Class C Certificates will bear legends substantially to the
effect of the matters contemplated by paragraphs (1) through (14) above,
unless Deutsche FRLP determines otherwise in accordance with applicable
law.
(16) If the Purchaser of the Class C Certificate is a Foreign
Investor, the representations and warranties contained in Annex 1 to the
form of letter in Exhibit C to this Series Supplement required to be
signed by Foreign Investors purchasing Class C Certificates are
incorporated by reference.

of the validity or sufficiency of this Series Supplement, for or in respect of

more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Series Supplement
or any Series [ ] Certificate shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid,
then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable
from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Series
Supplement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the
other provisions of this Series Supplement or of such Series [ ] Certificate.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Series Supplement, the Agreement, or
any Series [ ] Certificate to the contrary, if at any time any Certificate Rate,

shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Series [ ]
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of this Series Supplement, the
Agreement or any Series [ ] Certificate, then such Certificate Rate, together
with all Charges payable in respect of the Series [ ] Certificate, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, such Certificate Rate and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of the Series [ ] Certificates,
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section, shall be
cumulated and the Certificate Rate and Charges payable to the Series [ ]
Certificateholders in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above
the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received
by the Series [ ] Certificateholders.
SECTION 9.10 Headings. The headings herein are for purposes of reference
only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any
provision hereof.

Deutsche Floorplan Receivables, L.P.

Re: Distribution Financial Services Floorplan Master Trust, Series [ ],
Class C Certificates
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is being delivered by the undersigned (the "Purchaser")
pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Series [ ] Supplement dated as of [ ], 2002 (as
amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Supplement") among Deutsche Floorplan Receivables, L.P., as Seller ("Deutsche
FRLP"), Deutsche Financial Services Corporation, as Servicer, and [ ], as
Trustee, in connection with the Purchaser's acquisition of a Class C
Certificate. Capitalized terms defined in (or by reference in) the Supplement
and used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined in (or by
reference in) the Supplement. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to
the Trustee and Deutsche FRLP, and hereby agrees with the Trustee and Deutsche
FRLP, and the Purchaser hereby acknowledges, as follows:
(1) The Class C Certificates have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
jurisdiction. Consequently, the Class C Certificates are not transferable
other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain provisions of the
Supplement.
(2) The Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" ("QIB")
within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and
is purchasing for its own account (and not for the account of others) or
as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs and have
executed a letter substantially in the form of this letter and have
delivered a copy of such letter to Deutsche FRLP and the Trustee). The
1
Purchaser is aware that it (or any account for which it is purchasing) may
be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Class C
Certificates for an indefinite period, and it (or such account) is able to
bear such risk for an indefinite period.
(3) No sale, pledge or other transfer of any Class C Certificate may
be made by any Person unless (a) either (i) such sale, pledge or other
transfer is made to Deutsche FRLP, or (ii) so long as the Class C
Certificates are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a Person
whom the transferor reasonably believes after due inquiry is a QIB acting
for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary
or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) to whom notice is given
that the sale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.
(4) The Class C Certificates may not be acquired by or for the
account of (i) an "employee benefit plan" (as defined in section 3(3) of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")), that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a
plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity whose
underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in
the entity. By accepting and holding a Class C Certificate, the holder
thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not
within any of the categories described in the preceding sentence.
(5) The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded an
opportunity to request from Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. (the "Initial Purchaser"), and has received and reviewed,
all information which it has deemed necessary in connection with its
decision to purchase the Class C Certificates. The Purchaser acknowledges
that none of Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer, the Initial Purchaser nor any of
their respective affiliates or any Person representing any of them has
made any representation to it with respect to any information relating to
the offering or sale of the Class C Certificates, other than the
information contained in the private placement memorandum for the Class C
Certificates, a copy of which has been delivered to it.
(6) The Purchaser understands that all information furnished to it
by Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser or representatives
of Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Initial Purchaser in connection with
its evaluation of an investment in the Class C Certificates was provided
to it on a confidential basis and it agrees not to disclose such
information, in whole or in part, to any other Person.
(7) The Purchaser further represents and warrants to Deutsche FRLP
and the Trustee that, except to the extent permitted in paragraphs (8) and
(9) below, the Purchaser: (i) is properly classified as a "corporation" as
described in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code which is created or organized
under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, and will not knowingly take any action which will cause it not
to be so classified; and (ii) is not an S corporation as described in
Section
2
1361 of the Code (an "S Corporation"), and will not knowingly take any
action which will cause it to be so classified.
(8) No Class C Certificates shall be transferred or sold to any
grantor trust, partnership or S Corporation (each a "Pass-Through Entity")
unless such entity represents that (i) not 25% or more (or that amount
which the Internal Revenue Service (or any successor thereto) may
subsequently indicate is an amount which prevents treating direct and/or
indirect owners of a Pass-Through Entity as partners in the Trust for
purposes of determining whether the Trust is a publicly traded
partnership) of the value of the assets of the Pass-Through Entity is
attributable to the Pass-Through Entity's ownership interest in
certificates issued by the Trust other than the Class A and Class B
Certificates and (ii) the Pass-Through Entity does not specially allocate
to any of its beneficiaries amounts received in respect of certificates
issued by the Trust other than Class A and Class B Certificates. Any
purported transfer, assignment or other conveyance (including any
participation) of the Class C Certificates in contravention of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio and the
purported transferor shall continue to be treated as the owner of such
Class C Certificates and the purported transferee shall not be recognized
as a Class C Certificateholder by Deutsche FRLP or the Trustee.
(9) No Class C Certificates shall be transferred or sold to any
foreign investor ("Foreign Investor") which does not make the
representations contained in Annex 1 to the representation letter required
to be signed by a purchaser in connection with the purchase of Class C
Certificates. A Foreign Investor for this purpose includes any person who
is not: (1) a citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation
or partnership or other entity treated for Federal income tax purposes as
a corporation or a partnership created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (3)
an estate, the income of which is subject to United States Federal income
tax, regardless of its source; or (4) a trust if a U.S. court is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one
or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the
extent provided in Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on
August 20, 1996, and treated as United States persons under the Code and
applicable Treasury regulations prior to that date, that elect to continue
to be treated as United States persons under the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations will not be Foreign Investors.
(10) The Purchaser confirms that is has neither acquired nor will it
sell, trade or transfer any interest in any Class C Certificate or cause
an interest in any Class C Certificate to be marketed on or through (i) an
"established securities market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1)
of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final treasury regulation
thereunder, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or
an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or
sell quotations or (ii) "secondary market" or "substantial equivalent
thereof" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code and any
proposed, temporary or final treasury regulation
3
thereunder, including a market wherein interests in the Class C
Certificates are regularly quoted by any person making a market in those
interests and a market wherein any person regularly makes available bid or
offer quotes with respect to interests in the Class C Certificates and
stands ready to effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for
itself or on behalf of others. Any purported transfer, assignment or other
conveyance of any Class C Certificate in contravention of the foregoing
covenant will be null and void ab initio and the purported transferor will
continue to be treated as the holder of such Class C Certificate and the
purported transferee will not be recognized as a Class C Certificateholder
by Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Trustee.
(11) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the aggregate
number of Private Holders exceed 100. Any purported transfer, assignment
or other conveyance (including any participation) of the Class C
Certificates in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will
be null and void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to
be treated as the holder of those Class C Certificates and the purported
transferee will not be recognized as a Class C Certificateholder by
Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer or the Trustee. "Private Holder" means each
holder of a right to receive interest or principal in respect of any
direct or indirect interest in the Trust, including any financial
instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or part
by reference to the Trust (including the Trust's assets, income of the
Trust or distributions made by the Trust), excluding any interest in the
Trust represented by any series or class of certificates or any other
interests as to which the Trustee has received an opinion of counsel to
the effect that that series, class or other interest will be treated as
debt or otherwise not as an equity interest in either the Trust or the
Receivables for federal income tax purposes (unless that interest is
convertible or exchangeable into an interest in the Trust or the Trust's
income or that interest provides for payment of equivalent value).
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, "Private Holder" will
also include any other person that Deutsche FRLP determines is a "partner"
within the meaning of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations (including by reason of Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)) or any
successor provision of law. Any person holding more than one interest in
the Trust, each of which separately would cause that person to be a
Private Holder, will be treated as a single Private Holder. Each holder of
an interest in a Private Holder which is a partnership, S corporation or a
grantor trust under the Code will be treated as a Private Holder unless
excepted with the consent of Deutsche FRLP (which consent will be based on
an opinion of counsel generally to the effect that the action taken
pursuant to the consent will not cause the Trust to become a publicly
traded partnership treated as a corporation). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, each Class C Certificateholder, and each holder of
any Class of any Series if with respect to such Class no opinion is
delivered to the effect that the Certificates of such Class will be
treated as debt for federal income tax purposes, will be considered to be
a Private Holder.
(12) The Class C Certificates will be issued in denominations of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. No Class
C Certificate may be
4
subdivided upon transfer or exchange in a manner so that the resulting
Class C Certificate if it had been sold in the original offering would
have had an initial offering price of less than $1,000,000 and any
purported transfer, assignment or conveyance of a Class C Certificate in
contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will be void ab initio
and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of
that Class C Certificate for all purposes.
(13) Without limiting the foregoing, no transfer, pledge, assignment
or conveyance may be made to any one Person for Class C Certificates with
a face amount of less than $1,000,000 and, in the case of any Person
acting on behalf of one or more third parties (other than a bank (as
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) acting in its fiduciary
capacity), for Class C Certificates with a face amount of less than that
amount for each of those third parties. Any purported transfer, assignment
or conveyance in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence will
be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated
as the owner of the Class C Certificates for all purposes. Neither
Deutsche FRLP nor the Trustee will be obligated to register the Class C
Certificates under the Securities Act, qualify the Class C Certificates
under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to
any purchaser or holder thereof.
(14) No transfer, assignment or conveyance of a Class C Certificate
will be effective unless Deutsche FRLP and the Trustee shall have received
a letter, substantially in the form of this letter, from the transferee,
assignee or recipient of the conveyance.
(15) The Class C Certificates will bear legends substantially to the
effect of the matters contemplated by paragraphs (1) through (14) above,
unless Deutsche FRLP determines otherwise in accordance with applicable
law.
(16) This letter has been duly executed and delivered by the
Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws or equitable principles
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general
principles of equity.
(17) If the Purchaser is a Foreign Investor, the representations and
warranties contained in Annex 1 hereto are incorporated herein by
reference.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser has signed this letter as of the date
first above written.

ANNEX 1
(18) The Purchaser's long term debt is rated investment grade by an
internationally recognized rating agency.
(19) The Purchaser agrees that, prior to the date on which the first
interest payment under the Supplement is due thereto, it shall deliver to
Deutsche FRLP, the Servicer and the Trustee (i) two duly completed copies
of the United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor
applicable form and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or successor
applicable form. The Purchaser also agrees to deliver to Deutsche FRLP,
the Servicer and the Trustee two further copies of the said Form W-8ECI
and Form W-8, or successor applicable forms or other manner of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such
form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and
such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the
Servicer, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation,
any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such
forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Purchaser from duly
completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the
Purchaser so advises the Servicer, the Trustee and Deutsche FRLP.
(20) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter, the
Purchaser agrees that, upon written notice by the Servicer to the
Purchaser in accordance with paragraph (22) below that the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") has determined that amounts payable under the
Supplement are subject to withholding tax under Section 1446 of the Code
(a "Withholding Tax" and such determination being a "Withholding Event"):
a. The Purchaser shall, for tax years for which the Purchaser
has already filed, or was legally required to file, U.S. federal
income tax returns (each a "Prior Tax Year") prior to notice of such
Withholding Event in accordance with paragraph (22) below, (A)
provide to Deutsche FRLP a signed officer's certificate of the
Purchaser stating that amounts paid under the Supplement have been
included in the Purchaser's U.S. federal income tax returns for each
such Prior Tax Year, and (B) upon the written request of Deutsche
FRLP, which request shall provide assurances of confidentiality of
information reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, provide all
information in the Purchaser's possession or control to Deutsche
FRLP or, at the Purchaser's option, to the IRS directly required by
the IRS in support of the application of Section 1463 of the Code
for each such Prior Tax Year to such Withholding Tax.
b. If Section 1463 of the Code is not applicable for any Prior
Tax Year of the Purchaser because the Purchaser did not include
amounts payable under the Supplement in its U.S. federal income tax
return for such Prior Tax Year and properly pay any federal income
tax due on such amounts or failed to file a U.S. federal income
return with respect to such Prior Tax
7
Year, the Purchaser shall (at the Purchaser's option) either (x)
amend or file, as the case may be, its U.S. federal income tax
return for such Prior Tax Year to properly include amounts paid
under the Supplement during such Prior Tax Year, pay any federal
income tax due on such amounts (and interest and penalties thereon
if required) and comply with the provisions of clause (b) of this
paragraph (20) with respect to such Prior Tax Year or (y) pay to
Deutsche FRLP or the Trust, as applicable, the amount of any
Withholding Tax (and any interest or penalties thereon) paid or
payable by Deutsche FRLP or the Trust to the IRS (which payment by
the Purchaser, if the applicable Withholding Tax has not theretofore
been remitted to the IRS, shall be paid over by Deutsche FRLP or the
Trust, as applicable, to the IRS for application to such Withholding
Tax) on payments under the Supplement during such Prior Tax Year
which were not included on the Purchaser's U.S. federal income tax
return or with respect to which the Purchaser did not so properly
pay federal income tax.
c. No increased amounts shall be payable to the Purchaser if
any taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount
payable to the Purchaser with respect to any Withholding Tax unless,
due to a change in law, treaty or regulation (or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or
regulatory agency or body charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof), the credit for U.S. federal income tax
purposes available to the Purchaser under the Code (as in effect on
the Closing Date) resulting from such Withholding Tax is
discontinued or substantially reduced.
In connection with remitting to the IRS any required amount of Withholding
Tax on account of the Purchaser for any tax year subsequent to the last
Prior Tax Year, the amount thereof may be charged first against the amount
otherwise payable to the Purchaser pursuant to the Supplement (a "Payable
Amount") for the distribution date immediately preceding such remittance
and then against each successive Payable Amount for subsequent
distribution dates to the extent required to aggregate such Withholding
Tax amount.
(21) The Purchaser agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to
take any actions that shall avoid any Withholding Tax or the need for, or
reduce the amount of, any amounts payable to it for all present and future
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, fees,
liabilities and similar charges ("Taxes"); provided that the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to take any such actions that would, in the
reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, be unlawful or otherwise
disadvantageous to the Purchaser or would result in any unreimbursed cost
or expense to the Purchaser, which cost and expense would not have been
incurred but for such actions. If any amounts payable to the Purchaser for
Taxes (referred to above) shall not be eliminated or reduced by the
actions taken by the Purchaser and payment thereof under the Supplement
shall not be waived by the Purchaser within 15 days after Deutsche FRLP
shall have given written notice to the Purchaser of its intent to replace
the Purchaser, Deutsche FRLP shall have the right to (A) request in
writing that the Purchaser use reasonable efforts, and the Purchaser
hereby agrees upon receipt of such request to use its reasonable efforts,
to obtain a replacement investor for the Class C Certificates owned by the
Purchaser, which replacement investor is reasonably acceptable to Deutsche
FRLP, or (B) itself seek to replace the Purchaser with a new investor
which is reasonably acceptable to Deutsche FRLP; provided that the
