ARTICLE III Servicing Fee SECTION 3.1 Servicing Compensation. A monthly servicing fee for your series (the "Monthly Servicing Fee") shall be payable to the Servicer, in arrears, on each Distribution Date in respect of any Collection Period (or portion thereof) occurring prior to the first Distribution Date on which the Invested Amount is zero, in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the product of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate and (b) the product of (i) the Series 2000-3 Allocation Percentage and (ii) the Pool Balance as of the last day of the second Collection Period preceding such Distribution Date. The share of the Monthly Servicing Fee allocable to the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders with respect to any Distribution 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 2000-3, 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 2000-3, 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. 14 20 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 2000-3 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 2000-3 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 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. 15 21 ARTICLE IV Rights of Series 2000-3 Certificateholders and Allocation and Application of Collections SECTION 4.1 Allocations; Payments to Seller. (1) Subject to Section 4.3(c) of the Agreement, and after giving effect to any allocations to the Dealer Overconcentration Series, Collections of Non-Principal Receivables and Principal Receivables, Miscellaneous Payments and Defaulted Amounts, as they relate to Series 2000-3, shall be allocated and distributed as set forth in this Article IV. (b) The Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Collection Account and pay (and the Trustee shall so withdraw and pay) to the Seller on each Deposit Date any funds not required to be held therein (or not required to be transferred from the Collection Account to a deposit account for the benefit of Investor Certificateholders of any Series). The withdrawals to be made from the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) do not apply to deposits into the Collection Account that do not represent Collections, including Miscellaneous Payments, payment of the purchase price for the Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Agreement, payment of the purchase price for the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders' Interest pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Series Supplement and proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of Receivables pursuant to Section 9.2 or 12.2 of the Agreement.

(1) "Monthly Interest" with respect to the Series 2000-3 Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be an amount equal to the sum of the Class A Monthly Interest, the Class B Monthly Interest and the Class C Monthly Interest. Interest on the respective outstanding principal balance of each Class of Certificates shall accrue at the Class A Certificate Rate, Class B Certificate Rate or Class C Certificate Rate, as applicable, and shall be payable to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date. On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class A Interest Shortfall"), of (x) the Class A Monthly Interest for the Interest Period applicable to such Distribution Date over (y) the amount which shall be available to be paid to the Class A Certificateholders as Class A Monthly Interest from the Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Series Supplement. "Class A Additional Interest" shall mean, as of any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class A Certificate Rate for the Interest Period then ended, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in that Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, and (iii) the Class A Interest Shortfall, if any, for the previous Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be payable to the Interest Funding Account or distributed to Class A Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law. On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class B Interest Shortfall"), of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for the 16 22 Interest Period applicable to such Distribution Date over (y) the amount which shall be available to be paid to the Class B Certificateholders as Class B Monthly Interest from the Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Series Supplement. "Class B Additional Interest" shall mean, as of any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class B Certificate Rate for the Interest Period then ended, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in that Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, and (iii) the Class B Interest Shortfall, if any, for the previous Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest shall be payable to the Interest Funding Account or distributed to Class B Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law. On the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the "Class C Interest Shortfall"), of (x) the Class C Monthly Interest for the Interest Period applicable to such Distribution Date over (y) the amount which shall be available to be paid to the Class C Certificateholders as Class C Monthly Interest from the Interest Funding Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Series Supplement. "Class C Additional Interest" shall mean, as of any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the Class C Certificate Rate for the Interest Period then ended, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days that Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, and (iii) such Class C Interest Shortfall, if any, for the previous Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class C Additional Interest shall be payable to the Interest Funding Account or distributed to Class C Certificateholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law. (b) The Distribution Date Statement shall specify the applicable Net Receivables Rate for the next Interest Period. Based on such Distribution Date Statement (and on the Trustee's calculation of LIBOR) the Trustee shall 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 Adjustment Date (or in the case of the date specified in the proviso to the definition of Adjustment Date, promptly following such date) by the Trustee and the Trustee's calculation of the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificate Rates shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. SECTION 4.3 Determination of Monthly Principal. The amount of monthly principal ("Monthly Principal") distributable with respect to the Series 2000-3 Certificates on each Distribution Date with respect to an Early Amortization Period and the Accumulation Period shall be equal to the Available Investor Principal Collections with respect to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that for each Distribution Date with respect to the Accumulation Period, Monthly Principal, at the option of the Seller, may be increased to include amounts otherwise payable or distributable to the Seller (including without limitation (i) amounts allocable to other Series but not required to be paid to such other Series on such Distribution Date and not required to be kept in a deposit account for such other Series after such Distribution Date and (ii) Collections otherwise allocable to the Seller's Interest)) or may be limited to the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date; and provided further, however, that Monthly Principal shall not exceed the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-3 Certificates. 17 23 SECTION 4.4 Establishment of Reserve Fund and Funding Accounts.

SECTION 4.7 Distributions to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders. (a) 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 2000-3 Certificateholders in the following order of priority: (A) first, to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest for the current Distribution Date, plus (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest that was not distributed on any prior Distribution Date to the Class A Certificateholders, plus (iii) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class A Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class A Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class A Certificateholders; 24 30 (B) second, to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Class B Monthly Interest for the current Distribution Date, plus (ii) any Class B Monthly Interest that was not distributed on any Distribution Date prior to the current Distribution Date to the Class B Certificateholders, plus (iii) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class B Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class B Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class B Certificateholders; (C) third, to the Class C Certificateholders, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Class C Monthly Interest for the current Distribution Date, plus (ii) any Class C Monthly Interest that was not distributed on any Distribution Date prior to the current Distribution Date to the Class C Certificateholders, plus (iii) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class C Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class C Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class C Certificateholders; (D) fourth, to the Class A Certificateholders, the sum of any Class A Carry-over Amount for the current Distribution Date plus any unpaid Class A Carry-over Amount for any previous Distribution Date plus to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class A Carry-over Amount Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class A Carry-over Amount Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class A certificateholders; (E) fifth, to the Class B Certificateholders, the sum of any Class B Carry-over Amount for the current Distribution Date plus any unpaid Class B Carry-over Amount for any previous Distribution Date plus to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class B Carry-over Amount Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class B Carry-over Amount Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class B certificateholders; and (F) sixth, to the Class C Certificateholders, the sum of any Class C Carry-over Amount for the current Distribution Date plus any unpaid Class C Carry-over Amount for any previous Distribution Date plus to the extent permitted under applicable law, the amount of any Class C Carry-over Amount Additional Interest for the current Distribution Date and, without duplication, any Class C Carry-over Amount Additional Interest previously due but not distributed to the Class C certificateholders. (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 Funding Account shall be distributed to the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders in the following order of priority: (A) first, to the Class A 25 31 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 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 2000-3 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 26 32 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. SECTION 4.11 Excess Principal Collections. "Series 2000-3 Excess Principal Collections", with respect to any Distribution Date, shall mean an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Series 2000-3 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 2000-3 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. (a) 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 27 33 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 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. 28 34 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. 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. ARTICLE V Distribution and Reports to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders SECTION 5.1 Distributions. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee as paying agent shall distribute to each Series 2000-3 Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 12.2 of the Agreement respecting a final distribution) such Series 2000-3 Certificateholder's pro rata share (based on the outstanding principal balances of the Series 2000-3 Certificates held by such Certificateholder) of the amounts on deposit in the Series 2000-3 Accounts as is payable to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders on such Distribution Date pursuant to and subject to the applicable priorities set forth in Section 4.7. (b) Except as provided in Section 12.2 of the Agreement with respect to a final distribution, distributions to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders hereunder shall be made by check mailed to each Series 2000-3 Certificateholder at such Certificateholder's address appearing in the Certificate Register without presentation or surrender of any Series 2000-3 Certificate or the making of any notation thereon; provided, however, that with respect to Series 2000-3 Certificates registered in the name of a Depository, such distributions shall be made to such Depository in immediately available funds. (c) For so long as any of the Series 2000-3 Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee shall notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in the event that any of such Series 2000-3 Certificates listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange do not receive scheduled 29 35 distributions of interest or principal on any Distribution Date in accordance with instructions from the Servicer (which may be standing instructions). SECTION 5.2 Reports and Statements to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders.

(b) A copy of each statement provided pursuant to paragraph (a) and a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (without exhibits) and this Series Supplement shall be made available to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders of record for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office during the Trustee's normal business hours. (c) On or before January 31 of each calendar year, beginning with calendar year 2001, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the preceding calendar year was a Series 2000-3 Certificateholder, a statement prepared by the Servicer containing the information which is required to be contained in the statement to Series 2000-3 Certificateholders as set forth in paragraph (a) above, aggregated for such calendar year or the applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Series 2000-3 Certificateholder, together with other information as is required to be provided by an issuer of indebtedness under the Internal Revenue Code for the preceding calendar year and such other customary information as is necessary to enable the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders (or Certificate Owners) to prepare their tax returns. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as from time to time in effect. (d) For so long as the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and so long as the rules of such exchange so require, notices to the holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall also be given by publication in an Authorized European Newspaper. The Trustee shall have the right to cause the Listing Agent, pursuant to a listing agency agreement between the Trustee and the Listing Agent which is mutually satisfactory to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Listing Agent, to give such notices by such publication. ARTICLE VI Early Amortization Events SECTION 6.1 Additional Early Amortization Events. The occurrence of any of the following events shall, immediately upon the occurrence thereof without notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders, be deemed to be an Early 30 36 Amortization Event solely with respect to Series 2000-3 (each, an "Additional Early Amortization Event"): (a) on any Distribution Date, the balance of the Reserve Fund is less than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-3 Certificates, in each case after giving effect to all deposits, withdrawals and distributions on such Distribution Date; or (b) any Servicer Default occurs; or (c) a Class A Carry-over Amount, Class B Carry-over Amount or Class C Carry-over Amount is outstanding on six consecutive Distribution Dates (after giving effect to the distributions on each of those Distribution Dates); or (d) on any Determination Date, the average of the Monthly Payment Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods is less than twenty-five percent (25%) (or a lower percentage if the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to that lower percentage); or (e) the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2000-3 Certificates is not fully repaid on the Expected Final Payment Date; or (f) the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the average for each month of the net losses on the Receivables (exclusive of the Ineligible Receivables) owned by the Trust (i.e., gross losses less recoveries on any Receivables) (including recoveries from collateral security in addition to recoveries from the products, recoveries from Manufacturers and insurance proceeds) during any three consecutive calendar months, to (ii) the average of the month-end aggregate balances of those Receivables (without deducting therefrom the Discount Portion) for such three-month period, exceeds five percent (5%) on an annualized basis; provided, that the percentage in this clause (f) may be changed, or any Early Amortization Event relating to this clause (f) may be waived, at the direction of the Seller and without the consent of any Series 2000-3 Certificateholder upon the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition; or (g) the sum of all Eligible Investments and amounts on deposit in the Excess Funding Account and any excess funding accounts for any other Series represents more than fifty percent (50%) of the total assets of the Trust on each of six or more consecutive Determination Dates, after giving effect to all payments made or to be made on the Distribution Date next succeeding each such respective Determination Date; or (h) the Overconcentration Amount exceeds zero for a period of five Business Days after any Distribution Date, unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to the existence of the Overconcentration Amount. 31 37 ARTICLE VII Optional Repurchase SECTION 7.1 Optional Repurchase.

Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Distribution Date the Seller shall deposit the Reassignment Amount into the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Such purchase option is subject to payment in full of the Reassignment Amount and if for any reason the Seller fails to deposit the Reassignment Amount, payments shall continue to be made to Certificateholders as provided herein. The Reassignment Amount shall be distributed as set forth in Section 8.1(b). (c) If at the time the Seller exercises its purchase option hereunder the Seller's unsecured debt is unrated or has a rating lower than the lowest investment grade rating of any Rating Agency, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee on such Distribution Date an Opinion of Counsel (which must be an independent outside counsel) to the effect that, in reliance on certain certificates to the effect that the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders' Interest purchased by the Seller constitutes fair value for the consideration paid therefor and as to the Seller is solvent, the purchase of the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders' Interest would not be considered a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. So long as any Series 2000-3 Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Trustee shall cause notice of any such optional repurchase under this Section to be published in an Authorized European Newspaper at least one Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and shall cause notice to be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than ten Business Days prior to the applicable repurchase date, to each Holder of Class A and Class B Certificates at the Holder's address in the register maintained by the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall inform the Luxembourg Stock Exchange thereof one Business Day prior thereto in accordance with instructions from the Servicer (which may be standing instructions).

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. (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 35 41 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 1361 of the Code (an AS 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. 36 42 (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 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 37 43 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 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. 38 44 (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.

Luxembourgeoise in Luxembourg as an additional Paying Agent and as additional Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Series 2000-3 Certificates and to enter into a listing agency agreement with Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise which is not inconsistent with the terms of this Series Supplement and which is mutually satisfactory to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Listing Agent; provided, that unless Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise shall be rated "P-1" by Moody's and "A-1" by S&P, it may not hold funds pursuant to this Series Supplement overnight. If the Listing Agent resigns or is removed and a successor is appointed, notice of said appointment shall be given by publication in an Authorized European Newspaper. SECTION 9.7 Instructions in Writing. All instructions given by the Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Series Supplement shall be in writing, and may be included in a Distribution Date Statement.

SECTION 9.9 Severability; Certificate Rate Limitation. (a) If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Series Supplement or any Series 2000-3 39 45 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 2000-3 Certificate. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Series Supplement, the Agreement, or any Series 2000-3 Certificate to the contrary, if at any time any Certificate Rate, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on any Series 2000-3 Certificate under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Series 2000-3 Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of this Series Supplement, the Agreement or any Series 2000-3 Certificate, then such Certificate Rate, together with all Charges payable in respect of the Series 2000-3 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 2000-3 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 2000-3 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 2000-3 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. SECTION 9.11 Certain Matters Relating to Luxembourg Stock Exchange Listing.

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 1 65 (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 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 2 66 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 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) 3 67 "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. 4 68 (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 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. 5 69 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser has signed this letter as of the date first above written. [NAME OF PURCHASER] By: ------------------------ Name: Title: 6 70 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 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 7 71 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 Purchaser shall not be 8 72 replaced with a new investor until the Purchaser has been repaid in full all amounts owed to it pursuant to the Supplement. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph (21), the Purchaser hereby agrees to assign all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class C certificates (and with respect to the Supplement) to the replacement investor pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, Deutsche FRLP, the Trustee and the replacement investor, subject to payment in full of all amounts due to the Purchaser under the Supplement.
