(ii) the Majority Holders of the Series 2003-A Notes have notified
the Indenture Trustee that they desire to exercise the Put Feature in
respect of their Series 2003-A Notes and the net proceeds of the sale of
Receivables pursuant to such exercise (as described below) plus amounts
on deposit in the Principal Funding Account would be sufficient to pay
all amounts due on the Series 2003-A Notes; or
(iii) (A) the Indenture Trustee determines that the funds to be
allocated to the Series 2003-A Notes, including (1) Series 2003-A

exercise the Put Feature. Upon such deemed exercise of the Put Feature, the
Indenture Trustee shall cause the Issuer to sell Principal Receivables and the
related Non-Principal Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount up to
the Series 2003-A Nominal Liquidation Amount plus any past due interest on the

Notes pursuant to clause (b) above will be allocated in the following

(d) Any amount remaining on deposit in the Interest Funding
Account after a sale of Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.15 and the
final payment of the Series 2003-A Notes pursuant to Section 503 of the
Indenture, will be treated as part of the Series 2003-A Available Interest
Amount.
Section 3.16. Calculation Agent; Determination of LIBOR.
(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Series 2003-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 United 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 2003-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 2003-A Noteholder from time to time.
21
(d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
send to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Seller, by facsimile
transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
Section 3.17. Excess Available Interest Amounts Sharing.
(a) The Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to
Series 2003-A on any Payment Date shall be treated as part of the Series
2003-A Available Interest Amount for such Payment Date.
(b) The Shared Excess Available Interest Amount allocable to
Series 2003-A with respect to any Payment Date shall mean an amount equal to
the Series 2003-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 2003-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 2003-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 released to the Issuer for distribution in respect of the
Seller's Certificates pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
Section 3.18. Excess Available Principal Amounts Sharing.
(a) The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to
Series 2003-A on any Payment Date shall be treated as part of the Series
2003-A Available Principal Amount for such Payment Date.
(b) The Shared Excess Available Principal Amount allocable to
Series 2003-A with respect to any Payment Date shall mean an amount equal to
the Series 2003-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 2003-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 2003-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 applied as Excess Available Principal Amounts pursuant to Section 4.06 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
22
Section 3.19. Computation of Interest.
(a) Interest on the Series 2003-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.
(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 2003-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 2003-A Notes not
being paid in full on the Series 2003-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 Seller all
amounts payable or to be released hereunder to the Issuer. The Issuer shall
give the Indenture Trustee written instructions as to who the Seller is 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 2003-A
Notes and the Series 2003-A Schedule to Monthly Noteholders' Statement from
time to time without the consent of the Indenture Trustee
23
or any Noteholder if it receives written confirmation from each Note Rating
Agency that such amendment will not cause a Ratings Effect.
ARTICLE IV
EARLY REDEMPTION OF NOTES
Section 4.01. Early Redemption Events. In addition to the events
identified as Early Redemption Events in Section 1201 of the Indenture, each
of the following events will also be an Early Redemption Event with respect to
the Series 2003-A Notes:
(1) failure on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or DCS (if DCS
is no longer the Servicer), as applicable, (i) to make any payment or
deposit (including any Transfer Deposit Amount or Adjustment Payment)
required by the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the
Receivables Purchase Agreement on or before the date occurring two
Business Days after the date such payment or deposit is required to be
made therein, or (ii) to deliver a Monthly Noteholders' Statement or
Payment Instruction within five Business Days of the day such item is
due to be delivered under the Indenture, or (iii) duly to observe or
perform in any material respect the covenant of the Seller set forth in
Section 2.06(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (iv) duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or
agreements of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, set forth
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, which failure in the case of this subclause (iv) continues
unremedied for a period of 45 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Seller by the Indenture Trustee;
(2) any representation or warranty made by DCS in the Receivables
Purchase Agreement or the Seller in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
any information contained in a computer file or microfiche or written
list required to be delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01,
2.05, 2.07 or 2.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (i) shall prove
to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when
delivered, and shall continue to be incorrect in any material respect
for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Seller by the Indenture Trustee and (ii) as a result of such
incorrectness the interests of the Series 2003-A Noteholders are
materially and adversely affected; provided, however, that an Early
Redemption Event with respect to the Series 2003-A Notes shall not be
deemed to have occurred under this clause (2) if the Seller has
repurchased the related Receivable or all such Receivables, if
applicable, during such period in accordance with the provisions of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement;
(3) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the
Seller, DCS or DaimlerChrysler;
24
(4) a failure by the Seller to convey Receivables in Additional
Accounts to the Issuer within five Business Days after the day on which
it is required to convey such Receivables pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement;
(5) on any Payment Date, the Primary Overcollateralization Amount
for such Payment Date is reduced to an amount less than the Required
Primary Overcollateralization Amount on that Payment Date after giving
effect to the distributions to be made on such Payment Date; provided
that, for the purpose of determining whether an Early Redemption Event
has occurred pursuant to this clause (5), any reduction of the Primary
Overcollateralization Amount resulting from reallocations of the Series
2003-A Available Principal Amounts to pay interest on the Series 2003-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
LIBOR remains equal to or greater than such prime rate for the next 30
consecutive days following such LIBOR Determination Date;
(6) any Service Default occurs;
(7) on any Determination Date, as of the last day of the preceding
Collection Period, the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables
relating to Used Vehicles exceeds 20% of the Pool Balance on that last
day;
(8) on any Determination Date, the average of the Monthly Payment
Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods is less than 20%;
(9) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2003-A
Notes is not repaid by the Series 2003-A Expected Principal Payment
Date;
(10) the Seller or the Issuer becomes an investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940; and
(11) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Series 2003-A Notes.
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 2003-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 2003-A Noteholders holding Series 2003-A Notes
evidencing more than 50% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the
Series 2003-A Notes by written notice to the Seller, the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee, if given by Series 2003-A Noteholders, declare that an
Early Redemption Event with respect to the Series 2003-A Notes has occurred as
of the date of that notice. In the case of any Early Redemption Event
described in clause (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10) or (11) above, an Early
Redemption Event with respect to the Series 2003-A Notes shall be deemed to
have occurred without any notice or other action on the part of the Indenture
Trustee or the Series 2003-A Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of
such event.
25
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 Issuer, 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 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 Issuer; 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)
or (10) above) 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 2003-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
ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS

"Series 2003-A Accounts") in the name of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for

Trustee to Series 2003-A Noteholders out of funds in the Series 2003-A
Accounts pursuant to this Indenture Supplement will be made by the Indenture

[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 2003-A (the "Notes" or "Series 2003-A Notes"), all issued under an
Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of December 16, 2004 (as amended,
restated and supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), as supplemented
by an Amended and Restated Series 2003-A Indenture Supplement, dated as of
December 16, 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 2003-A Notes is reduced to less than
10% of the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2003-A Notes, the
Servicer has the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Issuer to redeem
the Series 2003-A Notes in whole but not in part, pursuant to Section 1202 of
the Indenture equal the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series
2003-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 2003-A Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the
final distribution with respect to this Note) such Series 2003-A Noteholder's
pro rata share of the amounts held by the Paying
A-4
Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest
and principal on the Series 2003-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,
A-5
beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee in 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 or the Issuer, or
join in any institution against DaimlerChrysler Wholesale Receivables LLC 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.
