7 The following table lists the eleven states with the largest percentage concentration of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables pool based on the physical address of the dealer originating the receivable.

8 Selection Criteria We used the following criteria to select the receivables pool: o Each receivable was originally purchased by the seller from dealers in the ordinary course of its business. o Interest on each receivable is computed using the simple interest method. o As of October 26, 2004: - no receivable was more than 30 days past due (an account is not considered past due if the amount past due is less than 10% of the scheduled monthly payment), - no receivable was the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, - each receivable had a remaining principal balance of at least $1,000.00, and - each receivable had a scheduled maturity on or before October 26, 2010. The seller believes its selection procedures are not adverse to noteholders. NET CREDIT LOSS AND DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE Net credit loss experience is dependent upon general economic conditions, the number of repossessions, the amount of principal and accrued interest outstanding on the receivable at the time of repossession, and the resale values of the repossessed vehicles. The following tables detail the net credit loss, repossession and delinquency experience of DCS's United States portfolio of new and used automobile and light duty truck retail receivables. The information includes: o an immaterial amount of retail receivables secured by vehicles other than automobiles and light duty trucks and o previously sold contracts which DCS continues to service. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts and percentages are based on estimated gross collections, including principal and interest. We cannot assure you that the net credit loss, repossession and delinquency experience on the receivables sold to the trust will be comparable to the following historical experience. 9

PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES Payment Dates o Interest and principal will be payable on the 8th of each month. If the 8th is not a business day, then interest and principal will be payable on the next business day. o The first payment will be on December 8, 2004. o Payments will be payable to noteholders of record on the business day before the payment date. Interest Payments o The first interest payment will be calculated on the original principal amount of each class of notes at the applicable per annum interest rate. o Subsequent interest payments will be calculated on the outstanding principal balance of each note class as of the prior payment date (after giving effect to any payment of principal on that date) at the applicable per annum interest rate. o To calculate interest due on the A-1 notes on a payment date, the per annum interest rates will be converted from an annual rate as follows: 11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days in Initial Days in Subsequent Day Count Convention Interest Accrual Period Interest Accrual Periods --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To (including) (excluding) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 days Prior Current actual/360 payment date payment date --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o To calculate the interest due on the A-2, A-3, A-4 and B notes on a payment date, the per annum interest rates will be converted from an annual rate as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days in Initial For Subsequent Interest Day Count Convention Interest Accrual Period Accrual Periods --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 days 1/12th of per annum 30/360 interest rate --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Interest payments on the classes of A notes will have the same priority. If the available amount for interest payments, including the balance in the reserve fund, is less than the amount due, each class of A notes will receive its pro rata share. o Interest payments on the B notes are subordinate to payments of interest and, under certain circumstances, principal of the A notes. Refer to the "Flow of Funds" section for information on how the amount available for interest payments is determined. Also refer to the "Credit Enhancement - Reserve Fund" section for information on how the reserve fund may be used to make interest payments. Principal Payments o The amount of principal payments on the notes on each payment date will generally equal the required principal distribution amount, which is described under "Credit Enhancement." o Principal of each class of notes will generally be repaid over a span of several consecutive months. o The trust will pay principal sequentially to the earliest maturing class of notes then outstanding until such class is paid in full. o The B notes will not receive any principal payments until the A notes are paid in full. o The trust is required to pay the outstanding principal amount of each class of notes by the applicable Legal Final. 12 o The final principal payment on any class of notes could occur significantly earlier than its Legal Final. o The rate of principal payments on the notes will increase to the extent Excess Interest Collections are applied to pay principal on the notes. Refer to the "Flow of Funds" and "Credit Enhancement" sections for information on how the amount available for principal payments is determined. Refer to the "Credit Enhancement" section for information on Excess Interest Collections. Optional Redemption The servicer will have the option to purchase all of the remaining receivables from the trust when their aggregate principal balance declines to an amount that is less than or equal to 10% of the initial aggregate principal balance of the receivables, or $158,309,943.41 or less. If the servicer decides to exercise this option, then the outstanding principal amounts of the A-4 and B notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will be repaid in a lump sum payment. The lump sum payment under this optional redemption will shorten the maturity of the A-4 and B notes. FLOW OF FUNDS Sources of Funds Available for Distribution Funds from the following sources may be available to make payments on the notes on each payment date: o collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar month, o net recoveries received during the prior calendar month on receivables that were charged off as losses in prior months, o investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior calendar month, o administrative and/or warranty repurchases, and o the reserve fund. 13 Application of Available Funds On each payment date the total funds available (except for the reserve fund) will be distributed in the following order of priority: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------- pay servicing fee ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay accrued and unpaid interest on the A notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- credit the priority principal distribution amount to the note principal distribution account ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay accrued and unpaid interest on the B notes (1) ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- replenish reserve fund, if necessary, up to the initial amount ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- credit the required principal distribution amount minus the priority principal distribution amount to the note principal distribution account ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- distribute any remaining funds to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC ---------------------------------------------------- (1) If payment of the notes has been accelerated because of a failure to pay an amount due on the notes or certain insolvency events in respect of the trust, payments of interest on the B notes will be made only after the principal balance of the A notes has been reduced to zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if payment of the notes has been accelerated because of an Event of Default other than a failure to pay any amount due on the notes or certain insolvency events in respect of the trust, then such total funds available that remain after payment of interest on the B notes will be credited to the note principal distribution account to the extent of the outstanding principal amount of the notes (less the priority principal distribution amount, if any, for that payment date) and then any remainder will be distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. Note Principal Distribution Account and Payments of Principal of the Notes The note principal distribution account will be a subaccount of the deposit account maintained by the indenture trustee. On each payment date the priority principal distribution amount, if any, and the required principal distribution amount (reduced by the priority principal 14 distribution amount) will be credited to the note principal distribution account to the extent of funds available as described above. The "priority principal distribution amount" will equal, on each payment date, the excess, if any, of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the A notes immediately prior to such payment date over (ii) (a) the outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month minus (b) the YSOA. The "required principal distribution amount" will equal, on each payment date, the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the A-1 notes and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes immediately prior to such payment date over (b) (I) the outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month minus (II) the YSOA minus (III) the target overcollateralization amount. The "target overcollateralization amount" for a payment date is the greater of (A) 5.00% x P and (B) the OC Floor, where: P = the outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month minus the YSOA for that payment date OC Floor = the lesser of (a) P and (b) 1.50% x Pi Pi = the initial principal balance of the receivables minus the initial YSOA YSOA = the yield supplement overcollateralization amount for such payment date as set forth in the table under "Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount"; provided that the YSOA will never be greater than the outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month. 15 On each payment date the total funds available in the note principal distribution account will be distributed in the following order of priority: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-1 notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-2 notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-3 notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the A-4 notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- pay up to the outstanding principal amount of the B notes ---------------------------------------------------- || || \/ ---------------------------------------------------- distribute remaining balance, if any, to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16 CREDIT ENHANCEMENT The following forms of credit enhancement are intended to enhance the likelihood of full payment of principal and interest due to the noteholders and to decrease the likelihood that the noteholders will experience losses of principal or interest on their notes. Overcollateralization Overcollateralization is represented by the amount by which (i) the principal balance of receivables minus the yield supplement overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal balance of the notes. The initial overcollateralization amount of $26,250,487.39 is equal to the initial receivables balance of $1,583,099,434.13 minus the initial yield supplement overcollateralization amount of $56,848,946.74 minus the initial principal amount of the notes of $1,500,000,000.00. This excess collateral is intended to protect noteholders from losses on the receivables. The trust will attempt to maintain an overcollateralization amount (i.e., the amount by which (i) the principal balance of the receivables minus the yield supplement overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal balance of the notes) at least equal to the target overcollateralization amount. Total funds available on any payment date (except funds in the reserve fund) after paying the servicing fee, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes and any reserve fund deposit will be applied (i) to pay the required principal distribution amount to the notes in payment of principal and (ii) to pay any remaining available funds to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. Excess Interest Collections "Excess Interest Collections" are generally equal to (A) the sum of (i) interest collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar month, (ii) principal collections attributable to the reduction in the yield supplement overcollateralization amount from the prior payment date and (iii) investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior calendar month minus (B) the sum of (i) the servicing fee for the prior calendar month, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, and (iii) the amount, if any, required to replenish the reserve fund to $3,750,000.00. Excess Interest Collections provide an additional form of credit enhancement since they will be applied to the payment of principal of the notes to the extent described above under the "Flow of Funds - Application of Available Funds" section. If credit losses on receivables and delinquent receivables decrease the amount of interest collections received on the receivables in a month, Excess Interest Collections will be reduced or eliminated for such month. 17 Reserve Fund o On November 17, 2004, the seller will provide funds from the proceeds of its sale of receivables to establish a $3,750,000.00 reserve fund. o The indenture trustee will hold the reserve fund for the benefit of the noteholders. o The reserve fund will be invested in high quality, short term investments which mature on or prior to each payment date. o If the total funds available for distribution minus the servicing fee is less than accrued interest on the notes, the reserve fund will be available to make interest payments. o If a class of notes has not been paid in full on its Legal Final, the reserve fund will be applied to the payment of principal for that class of notes. o If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the prior calendar month, the reserve fund will be applied to the payment of principal of the notes. o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, on each payment date the reserve fund will be reinstated up to the initial balance to the extent funds are available. o After full payment of all accrued interest on the notes and the outstanding principal balance of the notes, the reserve fund will be distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC. Subordinated B Notes As additional credit enhancement for the A notes, the B notes will not receive any principal payments until the A notes are paid in full and will not receive an interest payment on a payment date until the priority principal distribution amount, if any, has been applied to pay principal of the A notes. Payments of principal and, under certain circumstances, interest on the B notes are subordinated to payments on the A notes to decrease the likelihood that the trust will default in making payments due on the A notes. 18 YIELD SUPPLEMENT OVERCOLLATERALIZATION AMOUNT For a portion of the receivables, the weighted average APR less the servicing fee rate will be less than the weighted average interest rate of the notes. The yield supplement overcollateralization amount is intended to mitigate such negative differential. "Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount" means, with respect to any payment date, the amount specified below with respect to such payment date:

19 The yield supplement overcollateralization amount has been calculated for each payment date as the sum of the amount for each receivable equal to the excess, if any, of o the scheduled payment due on such receivable for each future collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the preceding collection period at the APR of such receivable, over o the scheduled payments due on the receivable for each future collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the preceding collection period at 7.0%. For purposes of such calculation, future scheduled payments on the receivables are assumed to be made on their scheduled due dates without any delays, defaults or prepayments. SERVICING Compensation o The servicer will be compensated on a monthly basis. o The first servicing fee will be calculated on the original principal amount of the receivables at 1/12th of 1% per month. o For the first servicing fee calculation, the per annum servicing fee rate will be converted from an annual rate using the number of days from October 26, 2004 to and including October 31, 2004 on a 30/360 basis, or 5 days. o Subsequent servicing fees will be calculated on the principal balance of the receivables as of the first day of the prior calendar month at 1/12th of 1%. o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, the servicing fee will be paid out of the total funds available for distribution each month. 20
