Indenture Trustee................ The First National Bank of Chicago, as
trustee under the Indenture (the

(the "Class A-2 Notes") in the aggregate

(the "Class A-3 Notes") in the aggregate
initial principal amount of

(the "Class A-4 Notes" and, together with
the Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and
Class A-3 Notes, the "Notes") in the
aggregate initial principal amount of
$304,375,000.00.
The Certificates................. The Trust will also issue Asset Backed
Certificates (the "Certificates" and,
together with the Notes, the
"Securities") with an aggregate initial
Certificate Balance of $65,625,000.00.
The Certificates will represent
fractional undivided interests in the
Trust and will be issued pursuant to the
Trust Agreement. The Certificates are not
being offered hereby. The Certificates
will not bear interest. No principal will
be paid on the Certificates until the
Notes have been paid in full.
The Receivables.................. On the Closing date, the Trust will
purchase a pool of motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts (the
"Receivables")
<PAGE>
having an aggregate principal balance of
approximately $1,824,391,444.13 (the
"Initial Pool Balance") as of August 24,
1998 (the "Cutoff Date"). The "Pool
Balance" will represent the aggregate
principal balance of the Receivables at
the end of a Collection Period, after
giving effect to all payments received
from Obligors, Purchase Amounts to be
remitted by the Servicer or the Seller,
as the case may be, all for such
Collection Period, and all losses
realized on Receivables liquidated during
such Collection Period.
Terms of the Notes:
A. Distribution Dates......... Payments of interest and principal on the
Notes will be made on the eighth day of
each month or, if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (each, a "Distribution
Date"), commencing October 8, 1998.
B. Interest Rates............. The Notes will have fixed interest rates.
C. Interest................... Interest on the outstanding principal
amount of any Class of Notes, other than
the Class A-1 Notes, will accrue at the
applicable Interest Rate from the Closing
Date (in the case of the first
Distribution Date) or from the eighth day
of the month preceding the month of a
Distribution Date to and including the
seventh day of the month of such
Distribution Date (each, an "Interest
Accrual Period"). Interest on the
outstanding principal amount of the Class
A-1 Notes will accrue at the applicable
Interest Rate from the Closing Date (in
the case of the first Distribution Date)
or from the most recent Distribution Date
on which interest has been paid to but
excluding the following Distribution Date
(each, a "Class A-1 Interest Accrual
Period"). Interest on each class of
Notes, other than the Class A-1 Notes,
will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months. Interest on the Class A-1 Notes
will be calculated on the basis of the
actual number of days in the Class A-1
Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.
D. Principal.................. Except during the Release Period
described below under
"Overcollateralization and Release of
Initial Over-collateralization Amount",
principal of the Notes will be payable on
each Distribution Date in an amount equal
to the Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount for the calendar
month (the "Collection Period") preceding
such Distribution Date to the extent of
funds available therefor. The
"Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount" will equal (i) the Regular
Principal Distribution Amount plus (ii)
the Accelerated Principal Distribution
Amount. The "Regular Principal
Distribution Amount" with respect to any
Distribution Date will
2
<PAGE>
generally equal the amount of principal
paid plus the unpaid principal balance of
liquidated defaulted Receivables (i.e.,
the reduction in the aggregate principal
balance of the Receivables during the
Collection Period). The "Accelerated
Principal Distribution Amount" with
respect to a Distribution Date will equal
the portion, if any, of the Total
Distribution Amount for the related
Collection Period that remains after
payment of (a) the Servicing Fee
(together with any portion of the
Servicing Fee that remains unpaid from
prior Distribution Dates), (b) the
interest due on the Notes, (c) the
Regular Principal Distribution Amount,
and (d) the amount, if any, required to
be deposited in the Reserve Account on
such Distribution Date.
During the Release Period, the principal
of the Notes payable on each Distribution
Date will equal the Release Period
Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount described below under
"Overcollateralization and Release of
Initial Overcollateralization Amount".
No principal payments will be made (i) on
the Class A-2 Notes until the Class A-1
Notes have been paid in full; (ii) on the
Class A-3 Notes until the Class A-2 Notes
have been paid in full; or (iii) on the
Class A-4 Notes until the Class A-3 Notes
have been paid in full.
The outstanding principal amount of the
Class A-1 Notes, to the extent not
previously paid, will be payable on the
June 1999 Distribution Date (the "Class
A-1 Final Scheduled Distribution Date");
the outstanding principal amount of the
Class A-2 Notes, to the extent not
previously paid, will be payable on the
April 2001 Distribution Date (the "Class
A-2 Final Scheduled Distribution Date");
the outstanding principal amount of the
Class A-3 Notes, to the extent not
previously paid, will be payable on the
June 2002 Distribution Date (the "Class
A-3 Final Scheduled Distribution Date");
and the outstanding principal amount of
the Class A-4 Notes, to the extent not
previously paid, will be payable on the
April 2003 Distribution Date (the "Class
A-4 Final Scheduled Distribution Date").
E. Optional Redemption........ The outstanding Class A-4 Notes will be
subject to redemption in whole, but not
in part, on any Distribution Date by the
Servicer when the Pool Balance shall have
declined to 10% or less of the Initial
Pool Balance (as defined below).
Overcollateralization and Release of
Initial Overcollateralization
Amount......................... The Initial Pool Balance,
$1,824,391,444.13, will exceed the
$1,750,000,000.00 initial aggregate
principal amount of the
3
<PAGE>
Securities (the "Initial Securities
Principal Balance"), by an amount equal
to $74,391,444.13 (the "Initial
Overcollateralization Amount"), which
amount is approximately 4.25% of the
Initial Securities Principal Balance.
Unless offset by losses on the
Receivables or the release of cash during
the Release Period as described below,
the distribution of the Accelerated
Principal Distribution Amount, if any, on
a Distribution Date is expected to cause
the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes to decrease faster than the Pool
Balance decreases, thereby increasing the
Overcollateralization Amount. The
"Overcollateralization Amount" in respect
of a Distribution Date is equal to (a)
the Pool Balance as of the end of the
related Collection Period (the "Related
Pool Balance") minus (b) the aggregate
outstanding amount of Securities after
giving effect to payments made on the
Securities on such Distribution Date (the
"Securities Amount").
Subject to the conditions set forth
below, on each Distribution Date during
the Release Period (as defined below),
the amount of principal distributable on
the Notes will be the Release Period
Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount rather than the Noteholders'
Principal Distributable Amount. The
"Release Period Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount" shall equal, on any
Distribution Date during the Release
Period, the excess of (a) the Securities
Amount on such Distribution Date (prior
to giving effect to any distributions on
such Distribution Date) over (b) the
product of (1) 95.00% and (2) the Related
Pool Balance. The effect of such
requirement is to maintain the
Overcollateralization Percentage at 5.00%
during the Release Period. On each
Distribution Date during the Release
Period, any portion of the Total
Distribution Amount which remains after
payment of (a) the Servicing Fee, (b) the
Noteholders' Interest Distributable
Amount, (c) the Release Period
Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount and (d) any amount required to
increase the amount in the Reserve
Account to the Specified Reserve Amount
will be released to Premier Receivables
L.L.C. (the "Company") (such released
amount being the "Cash Release Amount" or
"Cash Release"). The cumulative amount of
all Cash Releases during the Release
Period shall not exceed the Initial
Overcollateralization Amount.
The release of cash to the Company, as
described above is subject to the
satisfaction of all of the following
conditions:
(1) no Cash Release will be permitted
until the date (the "First Release
Distribution Date") that is the later of:
4
<PAGE>
(i) the Distribution Date following the
Distribution Date on which the
Overcollateralization Amount is at
least equal to the
[Initial Overcollateralization
Amount]
plus
[2% x (Related Pool Balance for such
preceding Distribution Date
minus
Initial Overcollateralization
Amount)]; and
(ii) the Distribution Date following
the Distribution Date on which the
Class A-1 Notes have been repaid in
full;
(2) the amount in the Reserve Account
shall be equal to the Specified Reserve
Amount; and
(3) the cumulative amount of the Cash
Releases will not exceed the Initial
Overcollateralization Amount.
On the Distribution Date (the "Last
Release Distribution Date") on which the
cumulative amount of the Cash Releases
equals the Initial Overcollateralization
Amount, the amount of principal
distributable to the Noteholders will be
the Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount less the Cash Release Amount
released on such Distribution Date. On
each Distribution Date thereafter, the
full Noteholders' Monthly Principal
Distributable Amount will be
distributable as principal to the
Noteholders. The "Release Period" is the
period from the First Release
Distribution Date to the Last Release
Distribution Date. Any Cash Release
released to the Company will not be
available to make payments on the Notes.
Reserve Account.................. The "Reserve Account" will be part of the
Collection Account. On the Closing Date
cash or Eligible Investments having a
value at least equal to $4,375,000.00
(the "Specified Reserve Amount"), which
is 0.25% of the Initial Securities
Principal Balance, will be allocated to
the Reserve Account.
Funds will be applied from the Reserve
Account to cover any shortfalls in the
amounts due to the Noteholders. On each
Distribution Date, the Reserve Account
will be reinstated up to the Specified
Reserve Amount to the extent of the
portion, if any, of the Total
Distribution Amount remaining after
payment of the Servicing Fee and the
amounts due to the Noteholders.
Priority of Payments............. Collections in respect of the Receivables
for each Collection Period will generally
be applied in the following order of
priority: (i) the Servicing Fee, together
with any previously unpaid Servicing
Fees, to the Servicer, (ii) interest on
the Notes, to the holders of the Notes,
(iii) the Regular Principal
5
<PAGE>
Distribution Amount (or, during the
Release Period, the Release Period
Noteholders' Principal Distributable
Amount), in the priority set forth
herein, to the applicable Noteholders,
(iv) amounts, if any, to the Reserve
Account until it contains the Specified
Reserve Amount, (v) except during the
Release Period, the Accelerated Principal
Distribution Amount, to the applicable
Noteholders, (vi) during the Release
Period, the Cash Release Amount, to the
Company, (vii) after the Notes have been
paid in full, to the Certificateholders
until the Certificate Balance has been
reduced to zero and (viii) the remaining
balance, if any, to the Company.
Rating of the Notes.............. The Notes will be rated in the highest
investment rating category by at least
two nationally recognized rating
agencies.

<PAGE>
The Receivables Pool
As of the Cutoff Date, each Receivable (i) had a principal balance of
at least $300.00 and (ii) was not more than 30 days past due (an account is
not considered past due if the amount past due is less than 10.00% of the
scheduled monthly payment). As of the Cutoff Date, no Obligor on any
Receivable was noted in the related records of the Seller as being the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, and no Obligor on any Receivable financed
a Financed Vehicle under the Seller's "New-Finance Buyer Plan" program. No
selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to Noteholders were
used in selecting the Receivables.
Set forth in the following tables is information concerning the
composition, distribution by annual percentage rate ("APR") and the
geographic distribution of the Receivables Pool as of the Cutoff Date.

Chrysler and approximately 15.32% of the Initial Pool Balance represents
financing of vehicles manufactured or distributed by vehicle manufacturers
other than Chrysler. All of the Receivables are Simple Interest Receivables.

(1) Except as indicated, all amounts and percentages are based on the gross
amount scheduled to be paid on each contract, including unearned
finance and other charges. The information in the table includes an
immaterial amount of retail installment sales contracts on vehicles
other than automobiles and light duty trucks and includes previously
sold contracts that CFC continues to service.
(2) Percentages have been annualized for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 and are not necessarily indicative of the experience for the
year.
(3) Net losses are equal to the aggregate of the balances of all contracts
which are determined to be uncollectible in the period, less any
recoveries on contracts charged off in the period or any prior periods,
including any losses resulting from disposition expenses and any losses
resulting from the failure to recover commissions to dealers with
respect to contracts that are prepaid or charged off.
(4) Liquidations represent a reduction in the outstanding balances of the
contracts as a result of monthly cash payments and charge-offs.
</TABLE>
During the first six months of 1998, CFC experienced higher credit
losses on automotive retail receivables. CFC management attributes the higher
credit losses primarily to the effect of the credit mix of retail receivables
originated in prior years.
The net loss figures above reflect the fact that the Seller had
recourse to Dealers on a portion of its retail installment sale contracts. By
aggregate principal balance, approximately 1.55% of the Receivables represent
contracts with recourse to Dealers.
