TITLE OF SECURITIES.............................. Discover Card Master Trust
I, Series 2000-5 Floating
Rate Class A Credit Card
Pass-Through Certificates
and Discover Card Master
Trust I, Series 2000-5
Floating Rate Class B
Credit Card Pass-Through
Certificates.
INTEREST RATE.................................... Class A Certificates:
LIBOR plus ___% per year.
Class B Certificates:
LIBOR plus ___% per year.
The Trustee will calculate
interest on the
Certificates on the basis
of the actual number of
days elapsed and a 360-day
year.
"LIBOR" will mean the
London interbank offered
rate for one-month United
States dollar deposits,
determined two business
days before the start of
each interest accrual
period.
INTEREST PAYMENT DATES............................ The 15th day of each month
(or the next business day),
beginning in July 2000.
EXPECTED MATURITY DATES.......................... Class A Certificates: May
15, 2005 (or the next
business day). If an
Amortization Event occurs,
the Trust will pay
principal monthly and the
final principal payment may
be made before or after May
15, 2005.
Class B Certificates: June
15, 2005 (or the next
business day). If an
Amortization Event occurs,
the Trust will pay
principal monthly and the
final payment of principal
may be made either before
or after June 15, 2005. The
Trust must generally pay
all Class A principal
before it pays any Class B
principal.
An "Amortization Event" is
an event that will cause
the Trust to begin repaying
principal on a monthly
basis.
SERIES TERMINATION DATE.......................... The first business day
following November 15, 2007
(or, if November 15, 2007
is not a business day, the
second business day
following November 15,
2007). The Series
Termination Date is the
last day on which the Trust
will pay principal on the
Certificates.
SUBORDINATION OF CLASS B CERTIFICATES
(CLASS A CREDIT ENHANCEMENT)..................... The Class B Certificates
are subordinated to the
Class A Certificates, up to
a specified dollar amount,
known as the "Available
Subordinated Amount."
AVAILABLE SUBORDINATED AMOUNT.................... Initially $65,789,500,
which may be reduced,
reinstated or increased
from time to time. The
Available Subordinated
Amount will increase by:
2
<PAGE> 3
- $2,631,580 after a
Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event, if
Greenwood has not made
an Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election;
- $23,684,220 after an
Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election,
if a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event has
occurred; or
- $26,315,800 after an
Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election,
if a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event has
not occurred.
A "Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event" will
occur the first time
Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services withdraws the
long-term debt or deposit
rating of Greenwood (or an
additional seller, if any)
or reduces this rating
below BBB -.
"Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election"
will mean an effective
election made by Greenwood
to change the way in which
the Trust allocates finance
charge collections to this
Series. To make this
election, Greenwood must
deposit additional funds
into the cash collateral
account discussed below.
CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT
(CLASS B CREDIT ENHANCEMENT)..................... Greenwood will arrange to
have a cash collateral
account established and
funded with $39,473,700 for
the direct benefit of the
Class B investors (the
"Credit Enhancement
Account") on the date the
Certificates are issued.
The Trustee may withdraw
funds from this account to
reimburse the Class B
investors for amounts that
would otherwise reduce
their interest in the Trust
or affect their interest
payments.
The amount on deposit in
this account may decrease
or increase on future
Distribution Dates. A
"Distribution Date" is the
15th calendar day of each
month (or the next business
day), beginning in July
2000.
The maximum amount of
Credit Enhancement as of
any Distribution Date will
be:
Before a Supplemental
Credit Enhancement Event or
an Effective Alternative
Credit Support Election
- 7.5% of the Series
Investor Interest as of
the end of the preceding
month (but not less than
$5,263,160); or
After a Supplemental Credit
Enhancement Event but
before an Effective
Alternative Credit Support
Election
3
<PAGE> 4
- 8.0% of the Series
Investor Interest as of
the end of the preceding
month (but not less than
$5,263,160); or
After an Effective
Alternative Credit Support
Election
- 12.5% of the Series
Investor Interest as of
the end of the preceding
month (but not less than
$5,263,160).
However, if an Amortization
Event has occurred, the
maximum amount of Credit
Enhancement will be the
amount on deposit in the
Credit Enhancement Account
on the Distribution Date
immediately before the
Amortization Event
occurred.
"Series Investor Interest"
will mean $526,316,000
minus
- the amount of principal
collections on deposit
for the benefit of
investors in this Series
(after giving effect to
losses of principal on
investments of these
funds),
- the aggregate amount of
principal previously
paid to investors in
this Series, and
- the aggregate amount of
investor losses
resulting from accounts
in which the receivables
have been charged-off as
uncollectible (after
giving effect to all
provisions in the Series
Supplement to reimburse
these charged-off
amounts).
THE RECEIVABLES.................................. The receivables in the
Accounts included in the
Trust as of May 1, 2000
totaled $28,251,145,543.94.
GROUP EXCESS SPREAD............................... The Certificates initially
will be included in the
"Group One" group of
series. The three-month
rolling average Group
Excess Spread Percentage
(as defined below) was
4.82% for the Distribution
Date in May 2000.
"Group Excess Spread
Percentage" for any
Distribution Date is a
percentage calculated by
multiplying:
- twelve, by
- an amount for all series
in Group One equal to
- the total amount of
finance charge
collections, investment
income and other similar
collections allocable to
each series for the
prior calendar month,
minus
- the total amount of
interest and certain
fees payable for each
series and the amount of
receivables allocable to
each series that have
been charged off as
uncollectible for the
prior calendar month;
4
<PAGE> 5
and then dividing the
product by an amount equal
to the sum of all investor
interests for each series
in Group One (in each case
for the Distribution Date).
RATING OF THE INVESTOR CERTIFICATES.............. The Trust will only issue
the Certificates if
Standard & Poor's has rated
the Class A Certificates
"AAA" and the Class B
Certificates at least "A"
and Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. has rated the
Class A Certificates "Aaa"
and has rated the Class B
Certificates at least "A2."
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS............................. Greenwood believes that
employee benefit plans
subject to ERISA may
acquire Class A
Certificates; however,
advisers to these plans
should consult their own
counsel. Employee benefit
plans subject to ERISA may
not acquire the Class B
Certificates.
LISTING.......................................... Greenwood expects to list
the Certificates on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange
to facilitate trading in
non-U.S. markets.
