Certificates—Each series of securities will include one or more classes of certificates, whether or not a class of notes is issued as part of the series. If a series of securities includes classes of notes, holders of notes may have the right to receive their payments before holders of certificates are paid. In addition, classes of notes may have the right to receive their payments before holders of other classes of notes are paid, and classes of certificates may have the right to receive their payments before holders of other classes of certificates are paid. This is referred to as "sequential payment". In addition, payments on certain classes of notes or certificates may be subject to reduction to make amounts available to cover payments to other classes of notes or certificates. This is referred to as "subordination". The prospectus supplement will describe the payment priorities and any subordination provisions that apply to a class of notes or certificates.

 

 

Terms—The terms of each class of notes and certificates in a series will be described in the prospectus supplement including:

 

 


 

stated principal amount (notes) and stated certificate balance (certificates); and

 

 


 

interest rate (which may be fixed, variable, adjustable or some combination of these rates) or method of determining the interest rate.

3



 

 

A class of notes may differ from other classes of notes and a class of certificates may differ from other classes of certificates in certain respects including:

 

 


 

timing and priority of payments;

 

 


 

seniority;

 

 


 

allocations of losses;

 

 


 

interest rate or formula;

 

 


 

amount of principal or interest payments;

 

 


 

whether interest or principal will be payable to holders of the class if certain events occur; and

 

 


 

the right to receive collections from designated portions of the receivables owned by the trust.

 

 

Form—If you acquire a beneficial ownership interest in the securities you will generally hold them through The Depository Trust Company in the United States or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System in Europe or Asia. This is referred to as "book-entry" form. As long as the securities are held in book-entry form, you will not receive a definitive certificate representing the securities.

 

 

For more detailed information, you should refer to "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Book-Entry Registration" in this prospectus.

 

 

Denomination—Securities will be issued in the denominations specified in the related prospectus supplement.

The Trust Property

 

The assets of each trust:

 

 


 

will be described in the prospectus supplement;

 

 


 

will primarily be a pool of retail installment sales contracts (the "receivables") secured by new or used automobiles and light duty trucks ("financed vehicles") and amounts due or collected under the contracts on or after a specified cutoff date; and

 

 


 

will include related assets such as:

 

 

 

 


 

security interests in the financed vehicles,

 

 

 

 


 

proceeds from claims on related insurance policies, and

 

 

 

 


 

amounts deposited in specified bank accounts.

 

 

Purchasers of Toyota and Lexus cars and light duty trucks often finance their purchases by entering into retail installment sales contracts with Toyota and Lexus dealers who then resell the contracts to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. The purchasers of the financed vehicles are referred to as the "obligors" under the receivables. The terms of the contracts must meet requirements specified by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation.

4



 

 

On or before the date the securities of a series are issued, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will sell a specified amount of receivables to Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC, the seller. The seller will, in turn, sell them to the trust. The sale by the seller to the trust will be documented under:

 

 


 

a pooling and servicing agreement among the seller, the servicer and the trustee (if the trust will be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes); or

 

 


 

a sale and servicing agreement among the seller, the servicer and the trust (if the trust is denominated an owner trust and treated as a partnership or disregarded entitiy for federal income tax purposes).

 

 

The receivables to be sold by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to the seller and resold to the trust will be selected based on criteria specified in the sale and servicing agreement or the pooling and servicing agreement, whichever is applicable. These criteria will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

 

If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the trust may use principal collections received on its receivables to purchase additional receivables from the seller rather than to make payments thereof to holders of the issued securities during a specified revolving period.

 

 

The trust will use collections on the receivables to pay interest and principal to holders of each class of securities. The prospectus supplement will describe whether:

 

 


 

collections received each month will be passed through to holders of securities on a monthly basis; or

 

 


 

whether payments will instead be made on a quarterly, semi-annual, annual or other basis.

 

 

If payments are made other than monthly, the trust will need to invest the collections until the relevant payment date. These investments will be highly rated and must satisfy criteria specified in the related pooling and servicing agreement or sale and servicing agreement. Because of the administrative difficulties involved in obtaining investments that will provide payments to the trust on the day before payments are to be made to holders of securities and that earn a sufficient amount of interest, in some cases the investments will be demand notes issued by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. These demand notes will be unsecured general obligations of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and will rank equally with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation.

 

 

If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the trust issuing securities of any series may invest in demand notes of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation even if payments to holders of such securities are to be paid monthly.

5



 

 

If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the trust issuing securities of any series may issue to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, or any creditworthy third party, a revolving liquidity note as a form of liquidity enhancement.

 

 

You should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for more information about the terms and conditions of any TMCC Demand Notes or any Revolving Liquidity Note. In addition, you should refer to "TMCC Demand Notes" and "Credit and Cash Flow Enhancement—Revolving Liquidity Note" in this prospectus.

Credit and Cash Flow Enhancement

 

The trusts may include certain features designed to provide protection to one or more classes of securities. These features are referred to as "credit enhancement". Credit enhancement may include any one or more of the following:

 

 


 

sequential payment or other payment prioritization of certain classes;

 

 


 

subordination of one or more other classes of securities;

 

 


 

reserve fund;

 

 


 

over-collateralization;

 

 


 

letters of credit or other credit facilities;

 

 


 

surety bonds;

 

 


 

guaranteed investment contracts;

 

 


 

repurchase obligations;

 

 


 

cash deposits; or

 

 


 

other agreements or arrangements providing for other third party payments or other support.

 

 

In addition, the trusts may include certain features designed to ensure the timely payment of amounts owed to securityholders. These features may include any one or more of the following:

 

 


 

yield maintenance agreements;

 

 


 

swap transactions;

 

 


 

liquidity facilities;

 

 


 

ability to issue revolving liquidity notes to creditworthy third parties or Toyota Motor Credit Corporation;

 

 


 

cash deposits; or

 

 


 

other agreements or arrangements providing for other third party payments or other support.

 

 

The specific terms of any credit or cash flow enhancement applicable to a trust or to the securities issued by a trust will be described in detail in the applicable prospectus supplement, including any limitations or exclusions from coverage.

6



Servicing

 

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will be appointed to act as servicer for the receivables. In that capacity, the servicer will handle all collections, administer defaults and delinquencies and otherwise service the contracts. The trust will pay the servicer a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.00% of the total principal balance of the receivables as of the first day of the preceding month. The servicer will also receive additional servicing compensation in the form of investment earnings, late fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges received by the servicer during such month.

 

 

The servicer will also be obligated to advance to the trust interest on the receivables that is due but unpaid by the obligor. In addition, the servicer will be obligated to advance to the trust due but unpaid principal of any receivables that are classified as precomputed receivables rather than as simple interest receivables. The servicer will not be required to make any advance if it determines that it will not be able to recover an advance from an obligor. The trust will reimburse the servicer from late collections on the receivables for which it has made advances, or from collections generally if the servicer determines that an advance will not be recoverable with respect to such receivable.

 

 

For more detailed information on advances and reimbursement of advances, see "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement—Advances" in this prospectus.

Optional Redemption

 

The servicer may purchase all of the receivables when the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the receivables declines to 10% or less of the original total principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date, which would cause early redemption of the securities.

 

 

For more detailed information, you should refer to "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement—Termination" in this prospectus.

Tax Status

 

Grantor Trusts—If a trust is denominated a "grantor trust" in the applicable prospectus supplement, special tax counsel to the trust will be required to deliver an opinion that:

 

 


 

the trust will be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and California franchise and income tax purposes; and

 

 


 

the trust will not be subject to federal income tax.

 

 

Owner Trusts—If the trust is denominated an "owner trust" in the applicable prospectus supplement, special tax counsel to the trust will be required to deliver an opinion for federal income tax purposes and California income and franchise tax purposes:

 

 


 

as to the characterization as debt of the notes issued by the trust; and

 

 


 

that the trust will not be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation.

7



 

 

If a trust is denominated an "owner trust" in the applicable prospectus supplement:

 

 


 

by purchasing a note you will be agreeing to treat the note as indebtedness for tax purposes; and

 

 


 

by purchasing a certificate, you will be agreeing to treat the trust (i) as a partnership in which you are a partner or (ii) if you are the sole beneficial owner of the certificates, as a "disregarded entity," for federal income tax purposes and California income and franchise tax purposes.

 

 

Applicable taxing authorities could impose alternative tax characterizations of the trust and the certificates. However, these characterizations generally will not result in material adverse tax consequences to certificateholders.

 

 

For additional information concerning the application of Federal and California tax laws, you should refer to "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "Certain State Tax Consequences" in this Prospectus.

ERISA Considerations

 

Notes—Notes will generally be eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans.

 

 

Unsubordinated Grantor Trust Certificates—Certificates of a class issued by a grantor trust that are not subordinated to any other class will generally be eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans.

 

 

Other Certificates—Subordinated classes of certificates issued by a grantor trust and certificates issued by owner trusts may be eligible for purchase by an employee benefit plan or individual retirement account, depending upon the circumstances of the particular certificates being offered.

 

 

For more detailed information regarding the ERISA eligibility of any class of securities, you should refer to "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS

    You should consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to purchase securities of any class. In addition, you should refer to the section captioned "Risk Factors" in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement for a description of further material risks to your investment in the securities.

    The trust's security interests in financed vehicles may be unenforceable or defeated.

    The certificates of title for vehicles financed by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation name Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as the secured party. The certificates of title for financed vehicles under contracts assigned to the trust will not be amended to identify the trust as the new secured party because it would be administratively burdensome to do so. However, financing statements showing the transfer to the trust of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's and the seller's interest in the receivables will be filed with the appropriate governmental authorities. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as servicer, will retain the documentation for the receivables and the certificates of title.

    Because of these arrangements, another person could acquire an interest in the receivables and the financed vehicles that is judged by a court of law to be superior to the trust's interest. Examples of these persons are other creditors of the obligors, a subsequent purchaser of a financed vehicle or another lender who finances the vehicle. Some of the ways this could happen are described in this prospectus under the caption "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables". In some circumstances, either the seller or the servicer will be required to purchase receivables if a security interest superior to the claims of others has not been properly established and maintained. The details of this obligation are described in this prospectus under the caption "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables".

    Bankruptcy of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation could result in losses or delays in payments on the securities.

    If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, you could experience losses or delays in the payments on your securities. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will sell the receivables to the seller, and the seller will in turn transfer the receivables to the trust. However, if Toyota Motor Credit Corporation becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, the court in the bankruptcy proceeding could conclude that Toyota Motor Credit Corporation effectively still owns the receivables by concluding that the sale to the seller was not a "true sale" or that the seller should be consolidated with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation for bankruptcy purposes. If a court were to reach this conclusion, you could experience losses or delays in payments on the securities as a result of, among other things:

    the "automatic stay" which prevents secured creditors from exercising remedies against a debtor in bankruptcy without permission from the court and provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that permit substitution of collateral in certain circumstances;

    certain tax or government liens on Toyota Motor Credit Corporation property (that arose prior to the transfer of a receivable to the trust) having a prior claim on collections before the collections are used to make payments on your securities; and

    the trust not having a perfected security interest in (a) one or more of the vehicles securing the receivables or (b) any cash collections held by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation at the time Toyota Motor Credit Corporation becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

    The seller will take steps in structuring each transaction described in this prospectus to minimize the risk that a court would consolidate the seller with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation for bankruptcy purposes or conclude that the sale of receivables to the seller was not a "true sale." See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Certain Bankruptcy Considerations" in this prospectus.

9


    Receivables that fail to comply with consumer protection laws may be unenforceable, resulting in delays in receipt of collections.

    Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws regulate consumer contracts such as the receivables. If any of the receivables do not comply with one or more of these laws, the servicer may be prevented from or delayed in collecting the receivables. If that happens, payments on the certificates could be delayed or reduced. The seller will make representations and warranties relating to the receivables' compliance with law and the trust's ability to enforce the contracts. If the seller breaches any of these representations or warranties, the trust's sole remedy will be to require the seller to repurchase the affected receivables. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Consumer Protection Laws" in this prospectus.

    Funds held by the servicer that are intended to be used to make payments on the securities may be exposed to a risk of loss.

    The servicer generally may retain all payments and proceeds collected on the receivables during each collection period. The servicer is generally not required to segregate those funds from its own accounts until the funds are deposited in the collection account on each payment date. Until any collections or proceeds are deposited into the collection account, the servicer will be able to invest those amounts for its own benefit at its own risk. The trust and securityholders are not entitled to any amount earned on the funds held by the servicer. If the servicer does not deposit the funds in the collection account as required on any payment date, the trust may be unable to make the payments owed on your securities.

    If the trust enters into a currency or an interest rate swap, payments on the securities will be dependent on payments made under the swap agreement.

    If the trust enters into a currency swap, interest rate swap or a combined currency and interest rate swap, its ability to protect itself from shortfalls in cash flow caused by currency or interest rate changes will depend to a large extent on the terms of the swap agreement and whether the swap counterparty performs its obligations under the swap. If the trust does not receive the payments it expects from the swap counterparty, the trust may not have adequate funds to make all payments to securityholders when due, if ever.

    If the trust issues securities with adjustable interest rates, interest will be due on the securities at adjustable rates, while interest will be earned on the receivables at fixed rates. In this circumstance, the trust may enter into an interest rate swap to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates. An interest rate swap requires one party to make payments to the other party in an amount calculated by applying an interest rate (for example a floating rate) to a specified notional amount in exchange for the other party making a payment calculated by applying a different interest rate (for example a fixed rate) to the same notional amount. For example, if the trust issues $100 million of securities bearing interest at a floating LIBOR rate, it might enter into a swap agreement under which the trust would pay interest to the swap counterparty in an amount equal to an agreed upon fixed rate on $100 million in exchange for receiving interest on $100 million at the floating LIBOR rate. The $100 million would be the "notional" amount because it is used simply to make the calculation. In an interest rate swap, no principal payments are exchanged.

    If the trust issues securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the trust will need to make payments on the securities in a currency other than U.S. dollars, as described in the related prospectus supplement. Payments collected on the receivables, however, will be made in U.S. dollars. In this circumstance, the trust may enter into a currency swap to reduce its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates. A currency swap requires one party to provide a specified amount of a currency to the other party at specified times in exchange for the other party providing a different currency at a predetermined exchange ratio. For example, if the trust issues securities denominated in

10


Swiss Francs, it might enter into a swap agreement with a swap counterparty under which the trust would use the collections on the receivables to pay U.S. dollars to the swap counterparty in exchange for receiving Swiss Francs at a predetermined exchange rate to make the payments owed on the securities.

    In some cases, a trust may enter into a swap with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as the swap counterparty. The terms of any swap will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

    Termination of a swap agreement may cause termination of the trust.

    A swap agreement may be terminated if certain events occur. Most of these events are generally beyond the control of the trust or the swap counterparty. If the swap agreement is terminated, the trust may also terminate. In that event, the trustee will sell the assets of the trust and the trust will terminate. In this type of situation, it is impossible to predict how long it would take to sell the assets of the trust or what amount of proceeds would be received. Some of the possible adverse consequences of such a sale are:

    The proceeds from the sale of assets under such circumstances may not be sufficient to pay all amounts owed to you.

    Amounts available to pay you will be further reduced if the trust is required to make a termination payment to the swap counterparty.

    The termination of the swap agreement may expose the trust to currency or interest rate risk, further reducing amounts available to pay you.

    The sale may result in payments to you significantly earlier than expected, reducing the weighted average life of the securities and the yield to maturity.

    Conversely, a significant delay in arranging a sale could result in a delay in principal payments. This would, in turn, increase the weighted average life of the securities and could reduce the yield to maturity.

    See "The Swap Agreement—Early Termination of Swap Agreement" for more information concerning the termination of a swap agreement and the sale of trust assets. Additional information about this subject, including a description of the circumstances that may cause a termination of the swap agreement and the trust and how the proceeds of a sale would be distributed, will be included in the related prospectus supplement.

    The rating of a swap counterparty or the issuer of demand notes may affect the ratings of the securities.

    If a trust enters into a swap or invests in Toyota Motor Credit Corporation demand notes, the rating agencies that rate the trust's securities will consider the provisions of the swap agreement or the demand notes and the rating of the swap counterparty and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as issuer of the demand notes in rating the securities. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation may also be the swap counterparty. If a rating agency downgrades the debt rating of the swap counterparty or Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, it is also likely to downgrade the rating of the securities. Any downgrade in the rating of the securities could have severe adverse consequences on their liquidity or market value.

    As of the date of this prospectus, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's long term debt ratings are Aa1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and AAA by Standard and Poor's Ratings Service, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("Standard & Poor's"), and its short term debt ratings are P-1 by Moody's and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of any rating of the debt of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation by a rating agency may result in the downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by that rating agency to any class (or all classes) of notes or certificates. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency

11


to a class of notes or certificates would likely have adverse consequences on their liquidity or market value.

    In the past, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, have placed the long-term debt ratings of Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's ultimate parent, and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) under review for possible downgrade on the basis of their respective reviews of factors specific to those companies and factors external to those companies, including their "country ceilings" for ratings of foreign currency-denominated debt and bank deposits and yen-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by the government of Japan. For example, in February 2001, Standard & Poor's lowered the sovereign ratings of Japan from AAA to AA+ and in November 2001, Standard & Poor's lowered the sovereign ratings of Japan from AA+ to AA. At those times, Standard & Poor's did not similarly downgrade the credit rating of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its subsidiaries. However, under any circumstance in which either rating agency lowers its credit rating for Japan below that rating agency's then current credit rating of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation), that rating agency may lower its credit rating of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to the same extent. Moody's downgrade of the long-term debt of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to Aa1 from Aaa was based in part on Moody's sovereign rating of Japan.

    To provide some protection against the adverse consequences of a downgrade, the swap counterparty may be permitted, but generally will not be required, to take the following actions if the rating agencies reduce its debt ratings below certain levels:

    collateralize its obligations under the swap agreement;

    assign the swap agreement to another party;

    obtain a replacement swap agreement on substantially the same terms as the swap agreement; or

    establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the rating agencies.

    If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation is the swap counterparty, it may be able to cure the effects of a downgrade by taking the actions described above. However, if Toyota Motor Credit Corporation is both the demand note issuer and the swap counterparty, these actions may not be sufficient to prevent a downgrade.

    Any swap or demand notes involve a high degree of risk. A trust will be exposed to this risk should it use either of these mechanisms. For this reason, only investors capable of understanding these risks should invest in the securities. You are strongly urged to consult with your financial advisors before deciding to invest in the securities if a swap or demand notes are involved.

    Dependence on a revolving liquidity note to fund certain shortfalls presents counterparty risk, risk of change of yields of the notes and risk of loss in connection with breach of funding obligation.

    General.  If a trust enters into a revolving liquidity note agreement, the rating agencies that rate the trust's securities will consider the provisions of the revolving liquidity note and the rating of the holder of the revolving liquidity note in rating the securities. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation may be the holder of the revolving liquidity note. If a rating agency downgrades the debt rating of the holder of the revolving liquidity note, it is also likely to downgrade the rating of the securities. Any downgrade in the rating of the securities could have severe adverse consequences on their liquidity or market value.

    Counterparty Risk; Performance Risk.  The amounts available to the trust to pay interest and principal of the securities may depend in part on the operation of the revolving liquidity note

12


agreement and the performance by the holder of the revolving liquidity note of its obligations under the revolving liquidity note agreement.

    On any payment date on which available collections are insufficient to fund payments of interest on and principal of the securities, the trust may be dependent on receiving payments from the holder of the revolving liquidity note, to make payments on the securities to the extent there are no amounts, or insufficient amounts, then on deposit in the reserve account to fund the shortfalls. If the holder of the revolving liquidity note fails to fund any requested draw, the amount of credit enhancement available in the current or any future period may be reduced and you may experience delays and/or reductions in the interest and principal payments on your securities. This is particularly true because these funding obligations could arise under circumstances where there are no amounts on deposit in the reserve account and current collections are insufficient to fund the shortfalls or to start making deposits into the reserve account to be available to make payments in future periods. A failure by the holder of the revolving liquidity note to fund draws will cause you to experience delays and/or reductions in interest and principal payments on your securities.

    Investors should make their own determinations as to the likelihood of performance by the holder of the revolving liquidity note of its obligations under the revolving liquidity note agreement.

    An event of default may affect weighted average life and yield.  If the holder of the revolving liquidity note defaults on its obligation to fund the entire undrawn amount of the revolving liquidity note in connection with a downgrade or breach of funding obligation, this default may constitute an event of default that will cause the priority of payments of all securities to change. Thereafter, all classes of securities may be exposed to the risk of additional shortfalls and losses, and, even if sufficient collections are thereafter available to fund payment in full of all classes securities, this change in the priority of payments will change the timing of the repayment in full relative to the respective final scheduled payment dates of each class, with corresponding negative effects on the yields to the holders of each class.

    Structured securities are sophisticated instruments, can involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to investors capable of understanding the risks entailed in such instruments. Potential investors are strongly encouraged to consult with their financial advisors before making any investment decision.

    The calculations for the payments of principal or interest may be based on an index which may result in payments to you of less principal or interest than a non-indexed security.

    The calculation of interest or principal on a series of securities may be based on a currency, commodity, interest rate or other index. In this situation, the amount of principal or interest payable on the securities may be less than that payable on a conventional debt security issued at the same time, including the possibility that no interest or principal will be paid. In addition, if the formula for calculating the payments on the securities includes a feature that multiplies the effect of any change in the index, changes to the index could result in even greater changes in the value of the securities or the payments to be made on the securities.

    You may not be able to easily trade these types of securities after you purchase them. A market for the resale of securities is referred to as a "secondary market." It cannot be predicted whether there will be a secondary market for these types of securities or if one develops, how liquid it would be. Any secondary market for these types of securities will be affected by a number of factors that are not dependent on the performance of the trust and its assets. These factors include the complexity and volatility of any applicable index, the method of calculating the principal and interest payments on the securities, the time remaining to the maturity of the securities, the outstanding amount of the securities and market interest rates. The value of the index will depend on a number of interrelated factors which cannot be controlled by the trust, including economic, financial and political events. For these reasons, you may not be able to readily sell your securities or receive the price you expected for their sale.

13


    In recent years, many indices have been highly volatile, and the volatility may continue in the future. You should review carefully the historical experience of any index applicable to calculations for any series of securities, but should not take that historical experience as a predictor of future performance of any index during the term of any security. The credit ratings assigned to the securities do not reflect the potential impact of the factors discussed above, or what the impact may be on your securities' market value at any time. For this reason, only investors capable of understanding the risks involved should invest in indexed securities. In addition, investors whose investment activities are restricted by law or subject to regulation may not be able to purchase these types of securities. Investors are responsible for determining whether they may purchase indexed securities. You are strongly urged to consult with your financial advisors before deciding to invest in indexed securities.

    The purchase of additional receivables after the closing date may adversely affect the characteristics of the receivables held by the trust or the average life of and rate of return on the securities.

    If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, a trust may use amounts on deposit of principal collections received on its receivables to purchase additional receivables from the seller after the related closing date during a specified revolving period. All additional receivables purchased from the seller must meet the selection criteria applicable to the receivables purchased by the trust on the closing date. The credit quality of the additional receivables may be lower than the credit quality of the initial receivables, however, and could adversely affect the performance of the related receivables pool. In addition, the rate of prepayments on the additional receivables may be higher than the rate of prepayments on the initial receivables, which could reduce the average life of and rate of return on your securities. You will bear all reinvestment risk associated with any prepayment of your securities.


THE TRUSTS

    The Seller will establish each trust (each, a "Trust") pursuant to a Trust Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time the "Trust Agreement") or Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), as applicable. The property of each Trust will include a pool (a "Receivables Pool") of retail installment sales contracts (the "Receivables") between Toyota and Lexus dealers (the "Dealers") and the obligors (the "Obligors") of new and used automobiles and/or light duty trucks and all payments due thereunder on and after the applicable cutoff date (the "Cutoff Date"), as specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. The Dealers will originate, and TMCC will purchase, the Receivables of each Receivables Pool in the ordinary course of business pursuant to agreements with Dealers (the "Dealer Agreements"). On the applicable Closing Date, the Seller will sell the Receivables comprising the related initial Receivables Pool to the Trust pursuant to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the trust is to be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or the related Sale and Servicing Agreement among the Seller, the Servicer and the Trust (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Sale and Servicing Agreement") if the Trust is to be treated as an owner trust for federal income tax purposes; provided that if so specified in the related prospectus supplement, subsequent sales of additional receivables by the Seller may occur during a Revolving Period.

    The property of each Trust will also include (i) such amounts as from time to time may be held in separate accounts established and maintained by the Servicer or Seller with the Trustee pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) security interests in the vehicles financed by the Receivables (the "Financed Vehicles") and any accessions thereto; (iii) the rights to proceeds from claims on certain physical damage, credit life and disability insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors, as the case may be; (iv) the right of the Seller to receive any proceeds from Dealer Recourse, if any, on Receivables or Financed Vehicles; (v) the rights of the Seller under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable; (vi) the right to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation Proceeds) that shall have secured a Receivable and that shall have been repossessed by or on behalf of the applicable Trust; and (vii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing. Various forms of credit

14


enhancement may be used to provide credit enhancement for the benefit of holders of the related Securities, including a Yield Maintenance Account or a Reserve Fund. Additionally, pursuant to contracts between TMCC and the Dealers, the Dealers will be required to repurchase Receivables as to which Dealers have made certain misrepresentations. If so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the trust property may also include the rights of the Trust and powers of the Owner Trustee under the Swap Agreement, and the amounts payable to the Trust thereunder, and the rights of the Trust and the powers of the Owner Trustee under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, and the amounts so funded by the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note thereunder.

    The terms of each series of notes (the "Notes") or certificates (the "Certificates" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities") issued by each Trust (the "Issuer"), and additional information concerning the assets of each Trust and any applicable credit enhancement will be set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus (a "Prospectus Supplement").


THE TRUSTEE

    A trustee for each Trust (the "Trustee") and/or a trustee under any Indenture pursuant to which Notes are issued (the "Indenture Trustee") will be specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. A Trustee's liability in connection with the issuance and sale of the related Securities is limited solely to the express obligations of such Trustee or Indenture Trustee set forth in the related Trust Agreement, and/or Sale and Servicing Agreement, Indenture or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable. A Trustee or Indenture Trustee may resign at any time, in which event the Servicer, or its successor, will be obligated to appoint a successor thereto. The Administrator of a Trust that is an owner trust and the Servicer in respect of a Trust that is a grantor trust may also remove a Trustee or Indenture Trustee that ceases to be eligible to continue in such capacity under the related Trust Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the Servicer or the Administrator, as the case may be, will be obligated to appoint a successor thereto. Any resignation or removal of a Trustee or Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor.


THE SELLER

    Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC ("TAFR LLC" or the "Seller") was formed in the State of Delaware on December 22, 2000, as a directly or indirectly wholly-owned, limited purpose subsidiary of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. The principal executive offices of the Seller are located at 19300 Gramercy Place, Torrance, California, 90509, Attn: President, and its telephone number is (310)468-7333.

    The Seller was organized primarily for the purpose of acquiring installment sales contracts similar to the Receivables and associated rights from TMCC, causing the issuance of securities similar to the Securities and engaging in related transactions. TAFR LLC's limited liability company agreement limits the Seller's activities to the foregoing purposes and to any activities incidental to and necessary for such purposes.


THE SERVICER

    Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC" or the "Servicer") was incorporated in California on October 4, 1982, and commenced operations in May 1983. The address of TMCC's principal executive offices is 19001 South Western Avenue, Torrance, California 90509. TMCC has one wholly-owned subsidiary engaged through subsidiaries organized in various jurisdictions in the insurance business, a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides retail and wholesale financing and other financial services to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers and their customers in Puerto Rico, two directly or indirectly wholly-owned limited purpose subsidiaries formed to acquire and securitize retail finance receivables and a wholly-owned limited purpose subsidiary formed to acquire and securitize lease receivables. TMCC and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "TMCC".

15


    TMCC provides retail and wholesale financing, retail leasing and certain other financial services to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota industrial equipment dealers and their customers in the United States (excluding Hawaii) and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. TMCC's primary business is providing vehicle retail and wholesale financing and retail leasing.

    On July 7, 2000, Toyota Financial Services Corporation was incorporated to control and manage Toyota Motor Corporation's worldwide finance operations, including those in the United States. On October 1, 2000, Toyota Financial Services Corporation assumed ownership of TMCC, which previously had been a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. All of the outstanding stock of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation is now owned by Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Financial Services Corporation.

    During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, TMCC announced plans to restructure its field operations. The branch offices of TMCC will be converted to serve only dealer business which includes the purchasing of contracts from dealers, financing inventories, loans to dealers for business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases and working capital requirements, as well as consulting on finance and insurance operations. The other functions that the branch offices currently cover, such as customer service, collections, lease termination, underwriting and loan servicing support and administrative functions, will be handled by three regional call centers. The new structure is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2003.

Underwriting of Motor Vehicle Loans

    TMCC purchases automobile and/or light truck retail installment sales contracts from approximately 1,200 Toyota and Lexus dealers located throughout the United States, excluding Hawaii. Underwriting of such retail installment sales contracts is performed by each branch using similar underwriting standards. Dealers originate these receivables in accordance with TMCC's requirements as specified in existing agreements between TMCC and such dealers. The receivables are purchased in accordance with TMCC's underwriting standards which emphasize, among other factors, the applicant's willingness and ability to pay and the value of the vehicle to be financed.

    Applications received from Dealers must be signed by the applicant and must contain, among other information, the applicant's name, address, residential status, source and amount of monthly income and amount of monthly rent or mortgage payment. Dealers then send completed customer applications via facsimile or data transmission to one of TMCC's retail branches where they are entered into TMCC's internally-developed Application Processing System ("APS"). The APS then automatically generates and transmits credit bureau requests to one of the major credit bureaus which provide a credit report to TMCC. Key data from the bureaus are combined with data from the customer applications, including ratios such as car payment to income and total debt payments to total income, and weighted by a statistically validated credit scoring process to provide objective evaluations of customer repayment probabilities. The branches receive credit scores, bureau data (both summarized and in raw form) and applicant information and TMCC credit investigators then perform income and employment verification on non-"A" rated risks. Once income and employment have been verified, all data is passed on-line to TMCC credit analysts for decisions.

    During fiscal 2000, TMCC completed the national launch of an expanded tiered pricing program for retail installment sales contracts. The objective of the expanded program is to better match customer risk with contract rates charged to allow profitable purchases of a wider range of risk levels. Implementation of this expanded program is expected to result in both increased contract yields and increased credit losses in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts. All or most of the contracts included in the Receivables pool for any series will have originated under the tiered pricing program and may perform differently than has TMCC's entire portfolio during the periods during which the tiered pricing program was not in place for all originations.

16


    The final credit decision is made based upon the degree of credit risk perceived and the amount of credit requested. If an application is conditionally approved or rejected, the dealer is notified of the conditions required for the approval or reasons for rejection. Additionally, an Equal Credit Opportunity Act adverse action notice is sent to the customer specifying the reasons for modification or rejection of the application for credit.

    TMCC's retail installment sales contracts require obligors to maintain specific levels of physical damage insurance during the term of the contract. At the time of purchase, an obligor signs a statement indicating he has or will have in effect the levels of insurance required by TMCC and provides the name and address of his insurance company and agent. Obligors are generally required to provide TMCC with evidence of compliance with the foregoing insurance requirements. The terms of each Receivable allow, but do not require, TMCC to (and TMCC, in accordance with its current normal servicing procedures, does not) obtain any such coverage on behalf of the Obligor.

Servicing of Motor Vehicle Loans

    Each branch services the loans it originates using the same servicing system and procedures, except that centralized tracking units monitor bankruptcy administration and recovery. The collection department of each branch manages the liquidation of each receivable. TMCC considers an obligor to be past due if less than 90% of a regularly scheduled payment is received by the due date. TMCC uses an on-line collection system that prioritizes loans for collections efforts, including the generation of past-due notices and signaling TMCC collections personnel to attempt to make telephone contact with delinquent obligors based on a behavioral scoring method (which analyzes borrowers' past performance to predict future payment behavior). TMCC generally determines whether to commence repossession efforts before a receivable is 60 days past due. Repossessed vehicles are held in inventory to comply with statutory requirements and then sold at public auctions. Any deficiencies remaining after sale or after full charge-off are pursued by TMCC to the extent practical and legally permitted. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Deficiency Judgments and Excess Proceeds". Collections of deficiencies are administered at a centralized facility. TMCC's policy is to charge-off an auto loan as soon as disposition of the vehicle has been effected and sales proceeds have been received. When repossession and disposition of the collateral has not been effected, the charge-off occurs as soon as TMCC determines that the vehicle cannot be recovered.


WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SECURITIES

    The Trust—The Trustee will provide to securityholders ("Securityholders") (which shall be Cede & Co. as the nominee of DTC unless definitive Securities are issued under the limited circumstances described herein) unaudited monthly and annual reports concerning the Receivables and certain other matters. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Reports to Securityholders" and "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Evidence as to Compliance" in the Prospectus. If and for so long as any Securities are listed on an exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, each such report (including a statement of the outstanding principal balance of each class of Securities) also shall be delivered to such exchange on the related Payment Date or date for delivery of such reports. Copies of such reports may be obtained at no charge at the offices specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    The Seller—Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC, as Seller of the Receivables, has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") of which this Prospectus forms a part. The Registration Statement is available for inspection without charge at the public reference facilities maintained at the principal office of the SEC at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the SEC's reference room by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. You may obtain copies of such materials at prescribed rates by writing to the Public Reference Section of the SEC at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The SEC also maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, registration statements, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

17


    TMCC—If the trust invests in demand notes issued by TMCC, TMCC, in its capacity as issuer of demand notes, will be a registrant under the Registration Statement. In that capacity, TMCC will be subject to the informational requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Act. In accordance with that law, TMCC will file annual, quarterly and special reports and other information with the SEC. If you want more information about TMCC, you may review the Registration Statement and TMCC's periodic filings, obtain copies of such documents at prescribed rates or access the SEC's website. The relevant contact information for the SEC is set forth in the paragraph captioned "The Seller" above.

    TMCC's filed periodic reports contain important information regarding TMCC. If the Trust invests in demand notes issued by TMCC, TMCC incorporates by reference its Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six month period ended March 31, 2001, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and any filings made by it with the SEC under Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act after the initial filing of the registration statement. Any information in any such reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this Prospectus will automatically update this Prospectus.

    If and for so long as Securities are listed on an exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will include the address of an office in the jurisdictions specified by the rules of such exchange at which copies of the Registration Statement filed by TAFR LLC and TMCC (including all documents incorporated therein) and TMCC's periodic SEC reports can be obtained for so long as those Securities are outstanding. If so required by the rules of such exchange, copies of those documents will also be filed with such exchange for so long as those Securities are outstanding. Copies of the operative agreements relating to the Securities will also be filed with the SEC and with any such exchange that so requires.


THE RECEIVABLES POOLS

    The Receivables Pools will include the Receivables purchased as of the Cutoff Date. The Receivables will have been originated by Dealers in accordance with TMCC's requirements and subsequently purchased by TMCC. The Receivables evidence the indirect financing made available by TMCC to the related obligors (the "Obligors") in connection with the purchase by such Obligors of the vehicles financed thereby (the "Financed Vehicles"). On or before the date of initial issuance of the Securities (the "Closing Date"), TMCC will sell the Receivables comprising the related initial Receivables pool to the Seller pursuant to the receivables purchase agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement") between the Seller and TMCC, provided that if so specified in the related prospectus supplement, the trust may subsequently purchase additional receivables from the Seller during a specified Revolving Period. The Seller will, in turn, sell the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement. During the term of the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement, neither the Seller nor TMCC may substitute any other retail installment sales contract for any Receivable sold to the Trust.

    The Receivables in each Receivables Pool will have been purchased by the Servicer from Dealers in the ordinary course of business through its branches located in the United States. The Receivables are purchased from Dealers pursuant to Dealer Agreements. TMCC purchases Receivables originated in accordance with its credit standards which are based upon the vehicle buyer's ability and willingness to repay the obligation as well as the value of the vehicle being financed.

    The Receivables to be held by each Trust for inclusion in a Receivables Pool will be selected from TMCC's portfolio of auto and/or light duty truck retail installment sales contracts that meet several criteria. Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, these criteria require that each Receivable (i) is secured by a new or used vehicle, (ii) was originated in the United States or a particular state, (iii) provides for monthly payments that fully amortize the amount financed over its

18


original term to maturity (except for minimally different payments in the first or last month in the life of the Receivables), and (iv) satisfies the other criteria, if any, set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. No selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to the Securityholders of any series will be used in selecting the related Receivables.

    Each Receivable will provide for the allocation of payments according to (i) the simple interest method ("Simple Interest Receivables"), (ii) the "actuarial" method ("Actuarial Receivables") or (iii) the "sum of periodic balances" or "sum of monthly payments" method ("Rule of 78s Receivables" and, together with the Actuarial Receivables, the "Precomputed Receivables").

    Simple Interest Receivables.  Payments on Simple Interest Receivables will be applied first to interest accrued through the date immediately preceding the date of payment and then to unpaid principal. Accordingly, if an Obligor pays an installment before its due date, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the payment period will be less than if the payment had been made on the due date, the portion of the payment applied to reduce the principal balance will be correspondingly greater, and the principal balance will be amortized more rapidly than scheduled. Conversely, if an Obligor pays an installment after its due date, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for the payment period will be greater than if the payment had been made on the due date, the portion of the payment applied to reduce the principal balance will be correspondingly less, and the principal balance will be amortized more slowly than scheduled, in which case a larger portion of the principal balance may be due on the final scheduled payment date. No adjustment to the scheduled monthly payments is made in the event of early or late payments, although in the case of late payments the Obligor may be subject to a late charge.

    Actuarial Receivables.  An Actuarial Receivable provides for amortization of the loan over a series of fixed level monthly installments. Each Scheduled Payment is deemed to consist of an amount of interest equal to 1/12 of the stated annual percentage rate ("APR") of the Receivable multiplied by the scheduled principal balance of the Receivable and an amount of principal equal to the remainder of the Scheduled Payment. No adjustment to the scheduled monthly payments is made in the event of early or late payments, although in the case of late payments the Obligor may be subject to a late charge.

    Rule of 78s Receivables.  A Rule of 78s Receivable provides for the payment by the Obligor of a specified total amount of payments, payable in monthly installments on the related due date, which total represents the principal amount financed and finance charges in an amount calculated on the basis of the related APR for the term of such Receivable. The rate at which such amount of finance charges is earned and, correspondingly, the amount of each Scheduled Payment allocated to reduction of the outstanding principal balance of a Rule of 78s Receivable are calculated in accordance with the Rule of 78s. Under the Rule of 78s, the portion of each payment allocable to interest is higher during the early months of the term of a Rule of 78s Receivable and lower during later months than that under a constant yield method for allocating payments between interest and principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments received by the Servicer on or in respect of the Rule of 78s Receivables will be allocated pursuant to the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, on an actuarial basis. No adjustment is made in the event of early or late payments, although in the case of late payments the Obligor may be subject to a late charge.

    In the event of a prepayment in full (voluntarily or by acceleration) of a Precomputed Receivable, a "Rebate" will be made to the Obligor of that portion of the total amount of payments under the Receivable allocable to "unearned" finance charges or other charges. In the event of the prepayment in full (voluntarily or by acceleration) of a Simple Interest Receivable, a Rebate will not be made to the Obligor, but the Obligor will be required to pay interest only to the date immediately preceding the date of prepayment. The amount of a Rebate under a Precomputed Receivable will always be less than or equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been due under a Simple

19


Interest Receivable for which all remaining payments were made on schedule. Payments to Securityholders will not be affected by such Rebates under the Rule of 78s Receivables because pursuant to the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement such payments will be determined using the actuarial method.

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, each Trust will account for the Rule of 78s Receivables as if such Receivables were Actuarial Receivables. Amounts received upon prepayment in full of a Rule of 78s Receivable in excess of the then outstanding principal balance of such Receivable and accrued interest thereon (calculated pursuant to the actuarial method) will not be paid to the Noteholders or passed through to the Certificateholders of the applicable series but will be deemed to be an Excess Amount and released to the Seller or otherwise applied as set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    Additional information with respect to each Receivables Pool will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement, including, to the extent appropriate, the composition, the distribution by APR and by the states of origination, the portion of such Receivables Pool consisting of Precomputed Receivables and of Simple Interest Receivables and the portion of such Receivables Pool secured by new vehicles and by used vehicles.


DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES

    Certain information concerning TMCC's experience pertaining to delinquencies, repossessions and net losses with respect to its portfolio of new and used retail automobile and/or light duty truck receivables (including receivables previously sold which TMCC continues to service) will be set forth in each Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that the delinquency, repossession and net loss experience on any Receivables Pool will be comparable to prior experience or to such information.


WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE SECURITIES

    The weighted average lives of the Securities of any series will generally be influenced by the rate at which the principal balances of the related Receivables are paid, which payment may be in the form of scheduled amortization or prepayments. For this purpose, the term "prepayments" includes prepayments in full, partial prepayments (including those related to Rebates of extended warranty contract costs and insurance premiums), liquidations due to default, as well as receipts of proceeds from physical damage, credit life and disability insurance policies and repurchases or purchases by the Seller or TMCC, as the case may be, of certain Receivables for administrative reasons or for breaches of representations and warranties. The term "weighted average life" means the average amount of time during which each dollar of principal of a Receivable is outstanding.

    All of the Receivables will be prepayable at any time without penalty to the Obligor. However, partial prepayments on the Precomputed Receivables made by Obligors will not be paid on the Payment Date following the Collection Period in which they were received but will be retained and applied towards payments due in later Collection Periods. If prepayments in full are received on the Precomputed Receivables or if full or partial prepayments are received on the Simple Interest Receivables, the actual weighted average life of the Receivables may be shorter than the scheduled weighted average life of the Receivables set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. The rate of prepayment of automotive receivables is influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors, including the fact that an Obligor generally may not sell or transfer the Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable without the consent of the Seller.

    No prediction can be made as to the rate of prepayment on the Receivables in either stable or changing interest rate environments. TMCC maintains limited records of the historical prepayment experience of the automobile retail installment sales contracts included in its portfolio and is not aware of any publicly available industry statistics for the entire industry on an aggregate basis that set forth

20


principal prepayment experience for retail installment sales contracts similar to the Receivables over an extended period of time. TMCC believes that its prepayment experience is consistent with that generally found in the industry. However, no assurance can be given that prepayments on the Receivables will conform to historical experience and no prediction can be made as to the actual prepayment experience on the Receivables. The rate of prepayment on the Receivables may also be influenced by the structure of the related loan.

    Under certain circumstances, the Seller or Servicer will be obligated to repurchase Receivables from a given Trust pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement as a result of breaches of certain representations and warranties or covenants. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables" and "—Servicing Procedures". In addition, pursuant to agreements between TMCC and the Dealers, each Dealer is obligated to repurchase from TMCC contracts which do not meet certain representations and warranties made by such Dealer (such Dealer repurchase obligations are referred to herein as "Dealer Recourse"). Such representations and warranties relate primarily to the origination of the contracts and the perfection of the security interests in the related Financed Vehicles, and do not typically relate to the creditworthiness of the related Obligors or the collectibility of such contracts. Although the Dealer Agreements with respect to the Receivables will not be assigned to the Trustee, the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement will require that TMCC deposit any recovery in respect of any Receivable pursuant to any Dealer Recourse in the related Collection Account. The sales by the Dealers of installment sales contracts to TMCC do not generally provide for recourse against the Dealers for unpaid amounts in the event of a default by an Obligor thereunder, other than in connection with the breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables" and "—Servicing Procedures".

    Early retirement of the Securities may be effected by the exercise of the option of the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, to purchase all of the Receivables remaining in the Trust when the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Pool Balance as of the Cutoff Date. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Termination". Certain Events of Default could result in liquidation of the assets of the Trust and acceleration of the related Securities. See "Description of the Notes—The Indenture—Events of Default; Rights upon Event of Default". If the Trust is a party to a swap agreement, events resulting in termination of the swap agreement generally will also result in liquidation of the assets of the Trust and acceleration of the related Securities. See "The Swap Agreement—Termination Events" regarding events that would result in a termination of a swap. If the Trust is party to a revolving liquidity note agreement, events resulting in termination of the revolving liquidity note agreement may also result in liquidation of the assets of the Trust and acceleration of the related Securities.

    Any reinvestment risk resulting from the rate of prepayments of the Receivables and the payment of such prepayments to Securityholders will be borne entirely by the Securityholders.

    In light of the above considerations, there can be no assurance as to the amount of principal payments to be made on the Securities of a given series on each Payment Date, since such amount will depend, in part, on the amount of principal collected on the related Receivables Pool during the applicable Collection Period. No prediction can be made as to the actual prepayment experience on the Receivables, and any reinvestment risks resulting from a faster or slower incidence of prepayment of Receivables will be borne entirely by the Securityholders of a given series.

    The related Prospectus Supplement may set forth certain additional information with respect to the maturity and prepayment considerations applicable to the particular Receivables Pool and the related series of Securities.

21



POOL FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION

    The "Note Pool Factor" for each class of Notes will be a seven-digit decimal which the Servicer will compute prior to each payment with respect to such class of Notes. The Note Pool Factor represents the remaining outstanding principal balance of such class of Notes, as of the close of business on the applicable Payment Date, as a fraction of the initial outstanding principal balance of such class of Notes. The "Certificate Balance" for each class will initially equal the principal balance as of the relevant Closing Date (the "Original Certificate Balance") and, on each Payment Date thereafter, will be reduced by all amounts allocable to principal paid on or prior to the Payment Date in respect of each class of Notes. The "Certificate Pool Factor" for each class of Certificates will be a seven-digit decimal which the Servicer will compute prior to each payment with respect to such class of Certificates indicating the remaining Certificate Balance of such class of Certificates, as of the close of business on the applicable Payment Date, as a fraction of the initial Certificate Balance of such class of Certificates. Each Note Pool Factor and each Certificate Pool Factor will initially be 1.0000000 and thereafter will decline to reflect reductions in the outstanding principal balance of the applicable class of Notes, or the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the applicable class of Certificates, as the case may be. A Certificateholder's portion of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the related class of Notes is the product of (i) the original denomination of such Certificateholder's Note and (ii) the applicable Note Pool Factor. A Certificateholder's portion of the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balance for the related class of Certificates is the product of (a) the original denomination of such Certificateholder's Certificate and (b) the applicable Certificate Pool Factor.

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to each Trust, the Securityholders will receive reports on or about each Payment Date concerning (i) with respect to the Collection Period immediately preceding such Payment Date, payments received on the Receivables, the Pool Balance (as such term is defined in the related Prospectus Supplement, the "Pool Balance"), each Certificate Pool Factor or Note Pool Factor, as applicable, and various other items of information, and (ii) with respect to the Collection Period second preceding such Payment Date, as applicable, amounts allocated or paid on the preceding Payment Date and any reconciliation of such amounts with information provided by the Servicer prior to such current Payment Date. In addition, Securityholders of record during any calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Reports to Securityholders".


USE OF PROCEEDS

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Seller will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities of a given series, together with a subordinated non-recourse promissory note, to purchase Receivables from TMCC and to make the initial deposit into any Reserve Fund or Yield Maintenance Account, if applicable.


DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

    With respect to each Trust that issues Notes, one or more classes (each, a "class") of Notes of the related series will be issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture (the "Indenture"), a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Notes and the Indenture.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, each class of Notes will initially be represented by one or more Notes, in each case registered in the name of the nominee of DTC (together with any successor depository selected by the Trust, the "Depository") except as set forth

22


below. Notes will be available for purchase in the denominations specified in the related Prospectus Supplement in book-entry form only (unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement). The Seller has been informed by DTC that DTC's nominee will be Cede & Co., unless another nominee is specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. Accordingly, such nominee is expected to be the holder of record of the Notes (a "Noteholder") of each class. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued under the limited circumstances described herein or in the related Prospectus Supplement, no Noteholder will be entitled to receive a physical certificate representing a Note. All references herein and in the related Prospectus Supplement to actions by Noteholders refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participating organizations (the "DTC Participants") and all references herein and in the related Prospectus Supplement to payments, notices, reports and statements to Noteholders refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to DTC or its nominee, as the registered holder of the Notes, for distribution to Noteholders in accordance with DTC's procedures with respect thereto. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Book-Entry Registration" and "—Definitive Securities".

Principal and Interest on the Notes

    The related Prospectus Supplement will describe the timing and priority of payment, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate (the "Interest Rate") and amount of or method of determining payments of principal and interest (or, where applicable, of principal or interest only) on each class of Notes of a given series, including during any periods of payments of interest only or principal only. Payments of interest on and principal of any Notes will be made on the dates specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (each, a "Payment Date") in such amounts as are described in the Prospectus Supplement. The right of holders of any class of Notes to receive payments of principal and interest may be senior or subordinate to the rights of holders of any other class or classes of Notes of such series. Payments of interest on the Notes will generally be made prior to payments of principal. With respect to holders of one or more classes of Notes so designated in the related Prospectus Supplement, during a Revolving Period only payments of interest will be made on the Notes. A series may include one or more classes of Notes (the "Strip Notes") entitled to (i) principal payments with disproportionate, nominal or no interest payments or (ii) interest payments with disproportionate, nominal or no principal payments. Each class of Notes may have a different Interest Rate, which may be a fixed, variable or adjustable Interest Rate (and which may be zero for certain classes of Strip Notes), or any combination of the foregoing. The related Prospectus Supplement will specify the Interest Rate for each class of Notes of a given series or the method for determining such Interest Rate. See also "Certain Information Regarding the Securities Fixed Rate Securities" and "—Floating Rate Securities". One or more classes of Notes of a series may be redeemable in whole or in part, including as a result of the Seller exercising its option to purchase the related Receivables Pool or other early termination of the related trust.

    One or more classes of Notes of a given series may have fixed principal payment schedules, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. Noteholders of such Notes would be entitled to receive as payments of principal on any given Payment Date the amounts set forth on such schedule with respect to such Notes.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, payments to Noteholders of all classes within a series in respect of interest will have the same priority. Under certain circumstances, on any Payment Date the amount available for such payments could be less than the amount of interest payable on the Notes. If this is the case, each class of Noteholders will receive its ratable share (based upon the aggregate amount of interest due to such class of Noteholders) of the aggregate amount of interest available for payment on the Notes. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Payments" and "—Credit and Cash Flow Enhancement".

23


    If a series of Notes includes two or more classes of Notes, the sequential order and priority of payment in respect of principal and interest, and any schedule or formula or other provisions applicable to the determination thereof, of each such class will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. Payments in respect of principal and interest of any class of Notes will be made on a pro rata basis among all the Noteholders of such class.

The Indenture

    Modification of Indenture.  If a Trust has issued Notes pursuant to an Indenture, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee may, with the consent of the holders of not less than 51% of the outstanding Notes of the related series (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), execute a supplemental indenture to add provisions to, change in any manner or eliminate any provisions of, the related Indenture, or modify (except as provided below) in any manner the rights of the related Noteholders.

    Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Trust and the applicable Indenture Trustee may also enter into supplemental indentures, without obtaining the consent of the Noteholders of the related series, for the purpose of, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the related Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders; provided that such action will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any such Noteholder.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to a series of Notes, without the consent of the holder of each such outstanding Note affected thereby no supplemental indenture will: (i) change the due date of any installment of principal of or interest on any such Note or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate specified thereon or the redemption price with respect thereto or change any place of payment where or the coin or currency in which any such Note or any interest thereon is payable; (ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of certain provisions of the related Indenture regarding payment; (iii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate amount of the outstanding Notes of such series, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or the consent of the holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the related Indenture or of certain defaults thereunder and their consequences as provided for in such Indenture; (iv) modify or alter the provisions of the related Indenture regarding the voting of Notes held by the applicable Trust, any other obligor on such Notes, the Seller or an affiliate of any of them; (v) reduce the percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of such Notes, the consent of the holders of which is required to direct the related Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Receivables if the proceeds of such sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes of such series; (vi) decrease the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes required to amend the sections of the related Indenture which specify the applicable percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series necessary to amend such Indenture or certain other related agreements; or (vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of the related Indenture with respect to any of the collateral for such Notes or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated in such Indenture, terminate the lien of such Indenture on any such collateral or deprive the holder of any such Note of the security afforded by the lien of such Indenture.

    Events of Default; Rights Upon Event of Default.  With respect to the Notes of a given series, unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, "Events of Default" under the related Indenture will consist of: (i) a default for five days or more in the payment of any interest on any such Note; (ii) a default in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any such Note when the same becomes due and payable; (iii) a default in the observance or performance of any covenant or agreement of the applicable Trust made in the related Indenture and the continuation of any such default for a period of 90 days after notice thereof is given to such Trust by the applicable

24


Indenture Trustee or to such Trust and such Indenture Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Notes then outstanding acting together as a single class; (iv) any representation or warranty made by such Trust in the related Indenture or in any certificate delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith having been incorrect in a material respect as of the time made, and such breach not having been cured within 30 days after notice thereof is given to such Trust by the applicable Indenture Trustee or to such Trust and such Indenture Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Notes then outstanding acting together as a single class; or (v) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or liquidation of the applicable Trust. However, the amount of principal required to be paid to Noteholders of such series under the related Indenture will generally be limited to amounts available to be deposited in the Collection Account. Therefore, unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the failure to pay principal on a class of Notes generally will not result in the occurrence of an Event of Default until the final scheduled Payment Date for such class of Notes.

    If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing with respect to the Notes of any series, the related Indenture Trustee or holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes then outstanding (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) may declare the principal of such Notes to be immediately due and payable. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, such declaration may, under certain circumstances, be rescinded by the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes then outstanding (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof). If so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, an Event of Default during a Revolving Period may cause the early termination of such Revolving Period and the commencement of payments of principal on the Notes.

    If the Notes of any series are due and payable following an Event of Default with respect thereto, the related Indenture Trustee may institute proceedings to collect amounts due or foreclose on Trust property, exercise remedies as a secured party, sell the related Receivables or elect to have the applicable Trust maintain possession of such Receivables and continue to apply collections on such Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, however, such Indenture Trustee is prohibited from selling the related Receivables following an Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of any principal of or a default for five days or more in the payment of any interest on any Note of such series, unless (i) the holders of all such outstanding Notes (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) consent to such sale, (ii) the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on such outstanding Notes at the date of such sale or (iii) such Indenture Trustee determines that the proceeds of Receivables would not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on such Notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been declared due and payable, and such Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of 662/3% of the aggregate outstanding amount of such Notes (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof). Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, in the event of the sale of the Receivables by the Indenture Trustee following an Event of Default, the Noteholders will receive notice and opportunity to submit a bid in respect of such sale.

    Subject to the provisions of the applicable Indenture relating to the duties of the related Indenture Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Notes, such Indenture Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under such Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of such Notes, if such Indenture Trustee reasonably believes it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in complying with such request. Subject to the provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained in the related Indenture, the holders of not less than 51% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) of a given series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of

25


conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the applicable Indenture Trustee, and the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) then outstanding may, in certain cases, waive any default with respect thereto, except a default in the deposit of collections or other required amounts, any required payment from amounts held in any trust account in respect of amounts due on the Notes, payment of principal or interest or a default in respect of a covenant or provision of such Indenture that cannot be modified without the waiver or consent of all the holders of such outstanding Notes (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof).

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, no holder of a Note of any series will have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the related Indenture, unless (i) such holder previously has given to the applicable Indenture Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series (other than TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) have made written request to such Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee, (iii) such holder or holders have offered such Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity, (iv) such Indenture Trustee has for 60 days failed to institute such proceeding and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to such Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of such outstanding Notes (other than TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof).

    In addition, each Indenture Trustee and the related Noteholders (other than TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), by accepting the related Notes, will covenant that they will not at any time institute against the applicable Trust any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

    With respect to any Trust, neither the related Indenture Trustee nor the related Trustee in its individual capacity, nor any holder of a Certificate representing an ownership interest in such Trust nor any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, successors or assigns will, in the absence of an express agreement to the contrary, be personally liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on the related Notes or for the agreements of such Trust contained in the applicable Indenture.

    Certain Covenants.  Each Indenture will provide that the related Trust may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, unless, among other things, (i) the entity formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger is organized under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia, (ii) such entity expressly assumes such Trust's obligation to make due and punctual payments upon the Notes of the related series and the performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of such Trust under the Indenture, (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after such merger or consolidation, (iv) such Trust has been advised that the rating of the Securities of such series then in effect would not be reduced or withdrawn by the Rating Agencies as a result of such merger or consolidation and (v) such Trust has received an opinion of counsel to the effect that such consolidation or merger would have no material adverse tax consequence to the Trust or to any related Noteholder or Certificateholder.

    Each Trust will not, among other things, (i) except as expressly permitted by the applicable Indenture, the applicable Transfer and Servicing Agreements or certain related documents with respect to such Trust (collectively, the "Related Documents"), sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of such Trust, (ii) claim any credit on or make any deduction from the principal and interest payable in respect of the Notes of the related series (other than amounts withheld under the Code or applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former holder of such Notes because of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon such Trust, (iii) except as expressly permitted by the Related Documents, dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part, (iv) permit the validity or

26


effectiveness of the related Indenture to be impaired or permit any person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to such Notes under such Indenture except as may be expressly permitted thereby or (v) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the assets of such Trust or any part thereof, or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof.

    No Trust may engage in any activity other than as specified in this Prospectus or in the related Prospectus Supplement. No Trust will incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other than indebtedness incurred pursuant to the related Notes and the related Indenture, pursuant to any Advances made to it by the Servicer or otherwise in accordance with the Related Documents.

    Annual Compliance Statement.  Each Trust will be required to file annually with the related Indenture Trustee a written statement as to the fulfillment of its obligations under the Indenture.

    Indenture Trustee's Annual Report.  The Indenture Trustee for each Trust will be required to mail each year to all related Noteholders a brief report relating to its eligibility and qualification to continue as Indenture Trustee under the related Indenture, any amounts advanced by it under the Indenture, the amount, interest rate and maturity date of certain indebtedness owing by such Trust to the applicable Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity, the property and funds physically held by such Indenture Trustee as such and any action taken by it that materially affects the related Notes and that has not been previously reported.

    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  An Indenture will be discharged with respect to the collateral securing the related Notes upon the delivery to the related Indenture Trustee for cancellation of all such Notes or, with certain limitations, upon deposit with such Indenture Trustee of funds sufficient for the payment in full of all such Notes.

The Indenture Trustee

    The Indenture Trustee for a series of Notes will be specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. The Indenture Trustee for any series generally may resign at any time and, if the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are the same entity or are affiliates, the Indenture Trustee generally will resign upon the occurrence of any event that may give rise to a conflict of interest for such entity acting in both such capacities. Upon resignation of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will be obligated to appoint a successor thereto for such series. The Issuer or Administrator may also remove any such Indenture Trustee if such Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the related Indenture or if such Indenture Trustee becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the Issuer will be obligated to appoint a successor thereto for the applicable series of Notes. Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor thereto for any series of Notes will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor.

27



DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

General

    With respect to each Trust that issues Certificates, one or more classes (each, a "class") of Certificates of the related series will be issued pursuant to the terms of a Trust Agreement or a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a form of each of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Certificates and the Trust Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement and except for the Certificates, if any, of a given series purchased by the Seller, each class of Certificates will initially be represented by one or more Certificates registered in the name of the nominee for DTC, except as set forth below. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement and except for the Certificates, if any, of a given series purchased by the Seller, the Certificates will be available for purchase in the denominations specified in the related Prospectus Supplement in book-entry form only (unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement). The Seller has been informed by DTC that DTC's nominee will be Cede & Co., unless another nominee is specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. Accordingly, such nominee is expected to be the holder of record of the Certificates (a "Certificateholder") of any series that are not purchased by the Seller. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued under the limited circumstances described herein or in the related Prospectus Supplement, no Certificateholder (other than the Seller) will be entitled to receive a physical certificate representing a Certificate. All references herein and in the related Prospectus Supplement to actions by Certificateholders refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from the Participants and all references herein and in the related Prospectus Supplement to distributions, notices, reports and statements to Certificateholders refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements given, made or sent to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the Certificates, for distribution to Certificateholders in accordance with DTC's procedures with respect thereto. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Book-Entry Registration" and "—Definitive Securities". Any Certificates of a given series owned by the Seller or its affiliates will be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits under the applicable Trust Agreement, except that such Certificates will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of determining whether the requisite percentage of Certificateholders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or other action under the Related Documents.

Payments of Principal and Interest

    The timing and priority of payments, seniority, allocations of losses, interest rate or pass through rate (the "Pass Through Rate") and amount of or method of determining payments with respect to principal and interest of each class of Certificates will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. Payments of interest on and principal of such Certificates will be made on the dates specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (each, a "Payment Date") and in the amounts described in the related Prospectus Supplement. To the extent provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, a series may include one or more classes of Certificates (the "Strip Certificates") entitled to (i) payments in respect of principal with disproportionate, nominal or no interest payments or (ii) interest payments with disproportionate, nominal or no payments in respect of principal. Each class of Certificates may have a different Pass Through Rate, which may be a fixed, variable or adjustable Pass Through Rate (and which may be zero for certain classes of Strip Certificates) or any combination of the foregoing. The related Prospectus Supplement will specify the Pass Through Rate for each class of Certificates of a given series or the method for determining such Pass Through Rate. See also "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Fixed Rate Securities" and "—Floating Rate Securities". To the extent that it is so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, payments of principal will not be made during a

28


specified Revolving Period. Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, payments in respect of the Certificates of a given series that includes Notes may be paid sequentially later than or be subordinated to payments in respect of the Notes of such series as more fully described in the related Prospectus Supplement. The rights of holders of any class of Certificates to receive payments of principal and interest may also be paid sequentially later than or be subordinated to the rights of holders of any other class or classes of Certificates of such series as more fully described in the related Prospectus Supplement. Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any class of Certificates will be made on a pro rata basis among all the Certificateholders of such class.

    In the case of a series of Certificates which includes two or more classes of Certificates, the timing, sequential order, priority of payment or amount of payments in respect of interest and principal, and any schedule or formula or other provisions applicable to the determination thereof, of each such class shall be as set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    If and as provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, certain amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account after all required payments to the related Securityholders have been made may be released to the Seller, TMCC or one or more third party credit or liquidity enhancement providers.


CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE SECURITIES

Fixed Rate Securities

    Any class of Securities (other than certain classes of Strip Notes or Strip Certificates) may bear interest at a fixed rate per annum ("Fixed Rate Securities") or at a variable or adjustable rate per annum ("Floating Rate Securities"), as more fully described below and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each class of Fixed Rate Securities will bear interest at the applicable per annum Interest Rate or Pass Through Rate, as the case may be, specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, interest on each class of Fixed Rate Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. See "Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest on the Notes" and "Description of the Certificates—Payments of Principal and Interest".

Floating Rate Securities

    Each class of Floating Rate Securities will bear interest during each applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum determined by reference to an interest rate basis (the "Base Rate"), plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    The "Spread" is the number of basis points to be added to or subtracted from the related Base Rate applicable to such Floating Rate Securities. The "Spread Multiplier" is the percentage of the related Base Rate applicable to such Floating Rate Securities by which such Base Rate will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest rate on such floating Rate Securities. The "Index Maturity" is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation with respect to which the Base Rate will be calculated.

    The applicable Prospectus Supplement will designate one of the following Base Rates as applicable to a given Floating Rate Security: (i) LIBOR (a "LIBOR Security"), (ii) the Commercial Paper Rate (a "Commercial Paper Rate Security"), (iii) the Treasury Rate (a "Treasury Rate Security"), (iv) the Federal Funds Rate (a "Federal Funds Rate Security"), (v) the CD Rate (a "CD Rate Security") or (vi) such other Base Rate as is set forth in such Prospectus Supplement.

    "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of

29


Governors of the Federal Reserve System at www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication. "Interest Reset Date" will be the first day of the applicable Interest Reset Period, or such other day as may be specified in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to a class of Floating Rate Securities.

    Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will specify whether the rate of interest on the related Floating Rate Securities will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually or such other specified period (each, an "Interest Reset Period") and the dates on which such Interest Rate will be reset (each, an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Interest Reset Date will be, in the case of Floating Rate Securities which reset: (i) daily, each Business Day; (ii) weekly, the Wednesday of each week (with the exception of weekly reset Treasury Rate Securities which will reset the Tuesday of each week, except as specified below); (iii) monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; (iv) quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (v) semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (vi) annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, if any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Security would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Security as to which LIBOR is an applicable Base Rate, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless specified otherwise in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, "Business Day" means a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, or San Francisco, California are authorized or obligated by law, regulation, executive order or decree to be closed. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, with respect to determining the Interest Reset Date for Notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Base Rate, the definition of Business Day will include all London Business Days. "London Business Day" means any day (a) if the Index Currency (as defined below) is other than the Euro, on which dealings in deposits in such Index Currency are transacted in the London interbank market or (b) if the Index Currency is the Euro a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System ("TARGET system") is open and on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London and New York.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, if any Payment Date for any Floating Rate Security (other than the Final Payment Date) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Payment Date will be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day except that in the case of a Floating Rate Security as to which LIBOR is the applicable Base Rate, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, if the final Payment Date of a Floating Rate Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Final Payment Date.

    Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each Floating Rate Security will accrue interest on an "Actual/360" basis, an "Actual/Actual" basis, or a "30/360" basis, in each case as specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. For Floating Rate Securities calculated on an Actual/360 basis and Actual/Actual basis, accrued interest for each Interest Period will be calculated by multiplying (i) the face amount of such Floating Rate Security, (ii) the applicable interest rate, and (iii) the actual number of days in the related Interest Period, and dividing the resulting product by 360 or 365, as applicable (or, with respect to an Actual/Actual basis Floating Rate Security, if any portion of the related Interest Period falls in a leap year, the product of (i) and (ii) above will be multiplied by the sum of (X) the actual number of days in that portion of such Interest Period falling in a leap year

30


divided by 366 and (Y) the actual number of days in that portion of such Interest Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365). For Floating Rate Securities calculated on a 30/360 basis, accrued interest for an Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, irrespective of how many days are actually in such Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, with respect to any Floating Rate Security that accrues interest on a 30/360 basis, if any Payment Date including the related Final Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Payment Date. The "Interest Period" with respect to any class of Floating Rate Securities will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    As specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Floating Rate Securities of a given class may also have either or both of the following (in each case expressed as a rate per annum): (i) a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest period and (ii) a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest period. In addition to any maximum interest rate that may be applicable to any class of Floating Rate Securities, the interest rate applicable to any class of Floating Rate Securities will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

    Each Trust with respect to which a class of Floating Rate Securities will be issued will appoint, and enter into agreements with, a calculation agent (each, a "Calculation Agent") to calculate interest rates on each such class of Floating Rate Securities issued with respect thereto. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth the identity of the Calculation Agent for each such class of Floating Rate Securities of a given series, which may be the related Trustee or Indenture Trustee with respect to such series. All determinations of interest by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of Floating Rate Securities of a given class. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, all percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Securities will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on Floating Rate Securities will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

    CD Rate Securities.  Each CD Rate Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the CD Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified in such Security and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the "CD Rate" for each Interest Reset Period shall be the rate as of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Reset Period (a "CD Rate Determination Date") for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as published in H.15(519), as defined below, under the heading "CDs (secondary market)".

    The following procedures will be followed if the CD Rate cannot be determined as described above:

    (1) If the rate referred to above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on the applicable CD Rate Determination Date will be the rate for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)".

31


    (2) If the rate referred to in clause (1) above is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on the applicable CD Rate Determination Date will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable CD Rate Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at the time.

    (3) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth in clause (2) above, the CD Rate on the applicable CD Rate Determination Date will be the rate in effect on the applicable CD Rate Determination Date.

    The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any CD Rate Determination Date shall be the first to occur of (a) the tenth calendar day after such CD Rate Determination Date or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day or (b) the Business Day preceding the applicable Payment Date.

    Commercial Paper Rate Securities.  Each Commercial Paper Rate Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified in such Security and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the "Commercial Paper Rate" for each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent for such Commercial Paper Rate Security as of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Reset Period (a "Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date") and shall be the Money Market Yield, as defined below, on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper—Nonfinancial."

    The following procedures will be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate cannot be determined as described above:

    (1) If the rate referred to above is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the caption "Commercial Paper—Nonfinancial".

    (2) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date the Commercial Paper Rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, then the Commercial Paper Rate for the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized securities rating organization.

    (3) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (2) above, the Commercial Paper Rate determined on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate

32


Determination Date will be the rate in effect on the applicable Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date.

    "Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage rounded upward to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield =   D × 360
360 - (D × M)
  × 100

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Interest Period for which interest is being calculated.

    The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date shall be the first to occur of (a) the tenth calendar day after such Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date or, if such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day or (b) the second business day preceding the related Payment Date.

    Federal Funds Rate Securities.  Each Federal Funds Rate Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified in such Security and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the "Federal Funds Rate" for each Interest Reset Period shall be the effective rate as of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Reset Period (a "Federal Funds Rate Determination Date" for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," as displayed on Moneyline Telerate or any successor service on page 120 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service ("Telerate Page 120").

    The following procedures will be followed if the Federal Funds Rate cannot be determined as described above:

    (1) If the rate referred to above does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date will be the rate on the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)".

    (2) If the Federal Funds Rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent before 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date.

    (3) If the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (2) above, the Federal Funds Rate for the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on the applicable Federal Funds Rate Determination Date.

    The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Federal Funds Rate Determination Date shall be the first to occur of (a) the tenth calendar day after such Federal Funds Rate Determination Date or, if

33


such day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day or (b) the second business day preceding the related Payment Date.

    LIBOR Securities.  Each LIBOR Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified in such Security and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, with respect to LIBOR indexed to the offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits, "LIBOR" for each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent for any LIBOR Security as follows:

    (1) If "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, or if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as the method for calculating LIBOR, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement commencing on the second "London Banking Day" (as defined in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement) immediately following the applicable "Interest Determination Date" (as defined in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement) that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as of 11:00 a.m. London time, on the applicable Interest Determination Date, or

    (2) If "LIBOR Reuters" is specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following the applicable Interest Determination Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as of 11:00 a.m. London time on the applicable Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear (except as provided in the following sentence). If the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides for only a single rate, then the single rate will be used.

    The following procedures will be followed if LIBOR cannot be determined as described above:

    (1) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the applicable Designated LIBOR Page as specified above, LIBOR for the applicable Interest Determination Date will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following the applicable Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the applicable Index Currency in that market at that time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations.

    (2) If fewer than two quotations referred to in clause (1) above are provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., or such other time specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on the applicable Interest Determination Date by three major banks, which may include the Calculation Agent and its affiliates, in that Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Prospectus

    Treasury Rate Securities.  Each Treasury Rate Security will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with reference to the Treasury Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any, specified in such Security and in the applicable Prospectus Supplement determined on the "Treasury Rate Determination Date" specified in such Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the "Treasury Rate" for each Interest Period will be the rate for the auction held on the Treasury Rate Determination Date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities—Treasury Bills—auction average (investment)" or, in the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury bills having the specified Index Maturity are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular week, then the "Treasury Rate" for such Interest Reset Period will be the rate published in H.15(510) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities—Treasury Bills—Secondary Market" (expressed as a bond equivalent yield on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, on a daily basis), or if not published by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent for such Treasury Rate Security and shall be the yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as

35


of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time on such Treasury Rate Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by such Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by such Calculation Agent are not quoting bid rates as mentioned in this sentence, then the "Treasury Rate" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period.

    The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Treasury Rate Determination Date shall be the first to occur of (a) the tenth calendar day after such Treasury Rate Determination Date or, if such a day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (b) the second Business Day preceding the date any payment is required to be made for any period following the applicable Interest Reset Date.

Indexed Securities

    To the extent so specified in any Prospectus Supplement, any class of Securities of a given series may consist of Securities ("Indexed Securities") in which the principal amount payable on the final Payment Date for such class (the "Indexed Principal Amount") and/or the interest payable on any Payment Date is determined by reference to a measure (the "Index") which will be related to the exchange rates of one or more currencies or composite currencies (the "Index Currencies"); the price or prices of specified commodities; or specified stocks, which may be based on U.S. or foreign stocks, on specified dates specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, or such other price, interest rate, exchange rate or other financial index or indices as are described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Holders of Indexed Securities may receive a principal amount on the related final Payment Date that is greater than or less than the face amount of the Indexed Securities depending upon the relative value on the related final Payment Date of the specified indexed item. Information as to the method for determining the principal amount payable on the related final Payment Date, if any, and, where applicable, certain historical information with respect to the specific indexed item or items and special tax considerations associated with investment in Indexed Securities, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining the rights of a Certificateholder of a Security indexed as to principal in respect of voting for or against amendments to the related Trust Agreement, Indenture, or other related agreements as the case may be, and modifications and the waiver of rights thereunder, the principal amount of such Indexed Security shall be deemed to be the face amount thereof upon issuance.

    If the determination of the Indexed Principal Amount of an Indexed Security is based on an Index calculated or announced by a third party and such third party either suspends the calculation or announcement of such Index or changes the basis upon which such Index is calculated (other than changes consistent with policies in effect at the time such Indexed Security was issued and permitted changes described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement), then such Index shall be calculated for purposes of such Indexed Security by an independent calculation agent named in the applicable Prospectus Supplement on the same basis, and subject to the same conditions and controls, as applied to the original third party. If for any reason such Index cannot be calculated on the same basis and subject to the same conditions and controls as applied to the original third party, then the Indexed Principal Amount of such Indexed Security shall be calculated in the manner set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Any determination of such independent calculation agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on all parties.

    The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe whether the principal amount of the related Indexed Security, if any, that would be payable upon redemption or repayment prior to the applicable final scheduled Payment Date will be the face amount of such Indexed Security, the Indexed Principal Amount of such Indexed Security at the time of redemption or repayment or another amount described in such Prospectus Supplement.

36


Revolving Period

    If so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement for any series may provide that all or a portion of the principal collected on the Receivables may be applied by the Trustee to the acquisition of subsequent Receivables during a specified period rather than used to distribute payments of principal to holders of one or more classes of securities of such series during that period. The duration of any such revolving period (a "Revolving Period") will not exceed one year. Any such specified Revolving Period would be followed by an "Amortization Period," during which securityholders would receive payments in respect of principal. Any such Revolving Period may terminate earlier than its scheduled end date upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. Any such termination of a Revolving Period would result in earlier than expected principal repayment of the Securities.

Book-Entry Registration

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, each class of Securities offered hereby will be represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, Securityholders may hold beneficial interests in Securities through DTC (in the United States) or Clearstream Banking société anonyme ("Clearstream Luxembourg") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") (in Europe or Asia) directly if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems.

    No Securityholder will be entitled to receive a certificate representing such person's interest in the Securities, except as set forth below. Unless and until Securities of a class are issued in fully registered certificated form ("Definitive Securities") under the limited circumstances described below, all references herein to actions by Noteholders, Certificateholders or Securityholders shall refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from DTC Participants, and all references herein to distributions, notices, reports and statements to Noteholders, Certificateholders or Securityholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the Securities, for distribution to Securityholders in accordance with DTC procedures. As such, it is anticipated that the only Noteholder, Certificateholder or Securityholder will be Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Securityholders will not be recognized by the related Trustee as Noteholders, Certificateholders or Securityholders as such terms will be used in the relevant agreements, and Securityholders will only be permitted to exercise the rights of holders of Securities of the related class indirectly through DTC and DTC Participants, as further described below.

    Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of their participants through customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective Depositaries which in turn will hold such positions in customers' securities accounts in the Depositaries' names on the books of DTC.

    Transfers between DTC Participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers between Clearstream Luxembourg Participants and Euroclear Participants will occur in accordance with their applicable rules and operating procedures.

    Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its Depositary. However, each such cross-market transaction will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines. The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its Depositary to take action to effect final settlement

37


on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Luxembourg Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the Depositaries.

    Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg Participant on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of Securities by or through a Clearstream Luxembourg Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

    DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York UCC and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating members ("DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between DTC Participants through electronic book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations which may include underwriters, agents or dealers with respect to the Securities of any class or series. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect DTC Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and DTC Participants are on file with the SEC.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, Securityholders that are not DTC Participants or Indirect DTC Participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, Securities may do so only through DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants. DTC Participants will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each Securityholder will in turn be recorded on respective records of the DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants. Securityholders will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Securityholders are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participant through which the Securityholder entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities of any class will be accomplished by entries made on the books of DTC Participants acting on behalf of Securityholders.

    To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by DTC Participants with DTC will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. will effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC will have no knowledge of the actual Securityholders and its records will reflect only the identity of the DTC Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Securityholders. DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. While the Securities of a Series are held in book-entry form, Securityholders will not have access to the list of Securityholders of such Series, which may impede the ability of Securityholders to communicate with each other.

    Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to DTC Participants, by DTC Participants to Indirect DTC Participants and by DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants to Securityholders will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

38


    Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations, DTC is required to make book-entry transfers among DTC Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to the Securities and is required to receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Securities. DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants with which Securityholders have accounts with respect to the Securities similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit such payments on behalf of their respective Securityholders.

    DTC's practice is to credit DTC Participants' accounts on each Payment Date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on its records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such Payment Date. Payments by DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants to Securityholders will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC, the related Indenture Trustee or Trustee (or any paying agent appointed thereby), the Seller or the Servicer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of and interest on each class of Securities to DTC will be the responsibility of the related Indenture Trustee or Trustee (or any paying agent), disbursement of such payments to DTC Participants will be the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the related Securityholders will be the responsibility of DTC Participants and Indirect DTC Participants. As a result, under the book-entry format, Securityholders may experience some delay in their receipt of payments. DTC will forward such payments to its DTC Participants which thereafter will forward them to Indirect DTC Participants or Securityholders.

    Because DTC can only act on behalf of DTC Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Indirect DTC Participants and certain banks, the ability of a Securityholder to pledge Securities to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions with respect to such Securities, may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Securities.

    DTC has advised the Seller that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Securityholder only at the direction of one or more DTC Participants to whose account with DTC the Securities are credited. Additionally, DTC has advised the Seller that it will take such actions with respect to specified percentages of the Securityholders' interest only at the direction of and on behalf of DTC Participants whose holdings include undivided interests that satisfy such specified percentages. DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of DTC Participants whose holdings include such undivided interests.

    Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an "Omnibus Proxy" to the related Indenture Trustee or Trustee as soon as possible after any applicable Record Date for such a consent or vote. The Omnibus Proxy will assign Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those DTC Participants to whose accounts the related Securities are credited on that record date (which record date will be identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

    Clearstream Luxembourg is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depository. Clearstream Luxembourg holds securities for its participating organizations ("Clearstream Luxembourg Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Luxembourg Participants through electronic book entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Luxembourg Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Transactions may be settled in Clearstream Luxembourg in any of 28 currencies, including United States dollars. Clearstream Luxembourg provides to Clearstream Luxembourg Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream Luxembourg interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depository, Clearstream Luxembourg is subject

39


to regulation by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Luxembourg Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include any underwriters, agents or dealers with respect to any class or series of Securities offered hereby. Indirect access to Clearstream Luxembourg is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Luxembourg Participant, either directly or indirectly.

    Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear Participants") and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Transactions may now be settled in any of 27 currencies, including United States dollars. The Euroclear System includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC described above. The Euroclear System is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the "Euroclear Operator" or "Euroclear"), under contract with Euroclear Clearance System S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the "Cooperative"). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for the Euroclear System on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include any underwriters, agents or dealers with respect to any class or series of Securities offered hereby. Indirect access to the Euroclear System is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

    Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions"). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear System, withdrawals of securities and cash from the Euroclear System and receipts of payments with respect to securities in the Euroclear System. All securities in the Euroclear System are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

    Payments with respect to Securities held through Clearstream Luxembourg or Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Clearstream Luxembourg Participants or Euroclear Participants in accordance with the relevant system's rules and procedures, to the extent received by its Depositary. Such payments will be subject to tax withholding in accordance with relevant United States tax laws and regulations. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences." Clearstream Luxembourg or the Euroclear Operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a Securityholder on behalf of a Clearstream Luxembourg Participant or Euroclear Participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures and subject to its Depositary's ability to effect such actions on its behalf through DTC.

    Although DTC, Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of Securities among participants of DTC, Clearstream Luxembourg and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.

Definitive Securities

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Notes, if any, and the Certificates of a given series will be issued in fully registered, certificated form ("Definitive Notes" and "Definitive Certificates", respectively, and collectively referred to herein as "Definitive Securities") to Noteholders or Certificateholders or their respective nominees, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if (i) DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to such Securities and such Administrator or Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor (and if it is an Administrator that has made such determination, such Administrator so notifies the applicable Trustee in writing), (ii) the Seller or the Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default with respect to such Securities, holders representing at least 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or the Certificates, as the case may be, of such series, acting together as a single class (but excluding any Notes or Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), advise the applicable Trustee through DTC in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or a successor thereto) with respect to such Notes or Certificates is no longer in the best interest of the holders of such Securities.

    Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee will be required to notify all applicable Securityholders of a given series through Participants of the availability of Definitive Securities. Upon surrender by DTC of the definitive certificates representing the corresponding Securities and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee will reissue such Securities as Definitive Securities to such Securityholders.

    Payments of principal of, and interest on, such Definitive Securities will thereafter be made by the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the related Indenture or the related Trust Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, directly to holders of Definitive Securities in whose names the Definitive Securities were registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date specified for such Securities in the related Prospectus Supplement. Such payments will be made by check mailed to the address of such holder as it appears on the register maintained by the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee. The final payment on any such Definitive Security, however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Definitive Security at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment to the applicable Securityholders. The applicable Trustee or the Indenture Trustee will provide such notice to the applicable Securityholders not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the date on which such final payment is expected to occur.

    Definitive Securities will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the applicable Trustee or of a registrar named in a notice delivered to holders of Definitive Securities. No service charge will be imposed for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the applicable Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

List of Securityholders

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Notes of any series, three or more holders of the Notes of such series or one or more holders of such Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Notes may, by written request to the related Indenture Trustee, obtain access to the list of all Noteholders maintained by such Indenture Trustee for the purpose of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under the related Indenture or under such Notes. Such Indenture Trustee may elect not to afford the requesting Noteholders access to the list of Noteholders if it agrees to mail the desired

41


communication or proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of the requesting Noteholders, to all Noteholders of such series.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates of any series, three or more holders of the Certificates of such series or one or more holders of such Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance of such Certificates may, by written request to the related Trustee, obtain access to the list of all Certificateholders maintained by such Trustee for the purpose of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under the related Trust Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement or under such Certificates.

    The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Trust Agreement and Indenture will not provide for the holding of annual or other meetings of Securityholders.

Reports to Securityholders

    With respect to each series of Securities that includes Notes, on or prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer will prepare and provide to the related Indenture Trustee a statement to be delivered to the related Noteholders on such Payment Date. With respect to each series of Securities that includes Certificates, on or prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer will prepare and provide to the related Trustee a statement to be delivered to the related Certificateholders. With respect to each series of Securities, each such statement to be delivered to Securityholders will include (to the extent applicable) the following information (and any other information so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement) as to the Notes of such series and as to the Certificates of such series with respect to such Payment Date or the period since the previous Payment Date, as applicable:

    (i)
    the amount of the payment allocable to the principal amount of each class of such Notes and to the Certificate Balance of each class of such Certificates;

    (ii)
    the amount of the payment allocable to interest on or with respect to each class of Securities of such series;

    (iii)
    the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Collection Period;

    (iv)
    the aggregate outstanding principal balance and the Note Pool Factor for each class of such Notes, and the Certificate Balance and the Certificate Pool Factor for each class of such Certificates, each after giving effect to all payments reported under clause (i) above on such date;

    (v)
    the amount of the Basic, Supplemental and Total Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with respect to the related Collection Period;

    (vi)
    the Interest Rate or Pass Through Rate for the Interest Period relating to the succeeding Payment Date for any class of Notes or Certificates of such series with variable or adjustable rates;

    (vii)
    the Noteholders' Interest Carryover Shortfall, the Noteholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall, the Certificateholders' Interest Carryover Shortfall and the Certificateholders' Principal Carryover Shortfall (each as defined in the related Prospectus Supplement), if any, in each case as applicable to each class of Securities, and the change in such amounts from the preceding statement;

    (viii)
    the aggregate amount of monthly payments (or portions thereof) determined by the Servicer to be due in one or more future Collections Periods ("Payments Ahead") on deposit in the related Payahead Account or held by the Servicer with respect to the related Receivables and the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Payment Date;

42


    (ix)
    the amount of Advances made in respect of the related Receivables and the related Collection Period and the amount of unreimbursed Advances on such Payment Date;

    (x)
    for each payment date during any Revolving Period and for the first payment date that immediately follows the last day of any Revolving Period, the amount of principal collections used to purchase additional receivables during the preceding Collection Period; and

    (xi)
    the balance of any related Reserve Fund, Yield Maintenance Account, swap or other interest rate protection agreements or other credit or liquidity enhancement (including a Revolving Liquidity Note), on such date, after giving effect to changes thereto on such date and the amount of such changes.

    Within the prescribed period of time for tax reporting purposes after the end of each calendar year during the term of each Trust, the applicable Trustee will mail to each person who at any time during such calendar year has been a Securityholder with respect to such Trust and received any payment thereon a statement containing certain information for the purposes of such Securityholder's preparation of federal income tax returns. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences".


DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS

    The following summary describes certain terms of each Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which a Trust will purchase Receivables from the Seller and the Servicer will agree to service such Receivables, each Trust Agreement (in the case of a grantor trust, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to which a Trust will be created and Certificates will be issued thereby and each Administration Agreement pursuant to which TMCC will undertake certain administrative duties with respect to a Trust that issues Notes (collectively, the "Transfer and Servicing Agreements"). Forms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The provisions of any of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements may differ from those described in this Prospectus and, if so, will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements. If a Trust includes a Revolving Period, the related Prospectus Supplement and Transfer and Servicing Agreements will describe the allocations and application to be made in respect of principal during and after such Revolving Period.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables

    On or prior to the Closing Date specified with respect to any given Trust in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Closing Date"), TMCC will sell and assign to the Seller, without recourse, pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), its entire interest in the Receivables comprising the related Receivables Pool, including the security interests in the Financed Vehicles. On the Closing Date, the Seller will transfer and assign to the applicable Trustee on behalf of the Trust, without recourse, pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement or a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, its entire interest in the Receivables comprising the related Receivables Pool, including its security interests in the related Financed Vehicles. Each such Receivable will be identified in a schedule appearing as an exhibit to such Sale and Servicing Agreement or such Pooling and Servicing Agreement (a "Schedule of Receivables"). The applicable Trustee will, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, on behalf of the Trust, execute and deliver the related Notes and/or Certificates. Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds received from the sale of the Certificates and the Notes of a given series will be applied to the purchase of the related Receivables from TMCC and, to the extent specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, to make any required initial deposit into the Reserve Fund or Yield Maintenance Account. If a Trust includes a Revolving Period, provision for acquisition of additional

43


Receivables by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust will be made in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    TMCC, pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Seller, pursuant to each Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, will represent and warrant, with respect to whether, among other things: (i) the information provided in the related Schedule of Receivables is true and correct in all material respects as of the opening of business on the Cutoff Date, and no selection procedures adverse to the Certificateholders shall have been utilized in selecting the Receivables; (ii) the terms of each Receivable require the related Obligor to maintain physical damage insurance covering the Financed Vehicle in accordance with the Seller's normal requirements; (iii) as of the applicable Closing Date, to the best of its knowledge, the related Receivables are free and clear of all security interests, liens, charges and encumbrances that are prior to, or of the same priority with, the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by the related Receivables, and no offsets, defenses or counterclaims have been asserted or threatened; (iv) as of the Closing Date, each of such Receivables is secured by a first perfected security interest in favor of TMCC in the Financed Vehicle or all necessary and appropriate actions have been taken to perfect a first priority security interest; (v) each related Receivable, at the time it was originated, complied and, as of the Closing Date, complies in all material respects with applicable federal and state laws, including, without limitation, consumer credit, truth-in-lending, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws; and (vi) any other representations and warranties that may be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement are true and correct in all material respects.

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, as of the last day of the second (or, if the Seller so elects, the first) month following the discovery by or notice to the Seller of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller that materially and adversely affects the interests of the related Trust in any Receivable, the Seller, unless the breach is cured in all material respects, will repurchase such Receivable (a "Warranty Receivable") from such Trust and, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, TMCC will purchase such Warranty Receivable from the Seller, at a price equal to the Warranty Purchase Payment for such Receivable. The "Warranty Purchase Payment" (1) for a Precomputed Receivable, will be equal to (a) the sum of (i) all remaining Scheduled Payments (and any applicable Yield Maintenance Amounts), (ii) all past due Scheduled Payments for which an Advance has not been made, (iii) all outstanding Advances made by the Servicer in respect of such Precomputed Receivable and (iv) an amount equal to any reimbursements of outstanding Advances made by the Servicer with respect to such Precomputed Receivable from collections made on or in respect of other Receivables, minus (b) the sum of (i) the Rebate, if any, paid to the Obligor on a Precomputed Receivable on or before the date of such purchase and (ii) any other proceeds previously received (e.g., insurance or other proceeds in respect of the liquidation of such Precomputed Receivable) to the extent applied to reduce the Principal Balance of such Precomputed Receivable and (2) for a Simple Interest Receivable, will be equal to its unpaid principal balance, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the sum of the Interest Rate or Pass Through Rate specified in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Fee Rate to the last day of the Collection Period relating to such repurchase. This repurchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to the Securityholders, the Trustee or the Trust for any such uncured breach by the Seller. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase a Receivable will not be conditioned on performance by TMCC of its obligation to purchase such Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

    Pursuant to each Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to assure uniform quality in servicing both the Receivables and the Servicer's own portfolio of automobile and/or light duty truck installment sales contracts, as well as to reduce administrative costs, the Seller and each Trust will designate the Servicer as custodian to maintain possession (directly, or through an agent), on behalf of such Trust, of the related installment sale contracts and any other documents relating to the

44


Receivables. The Receivables will not be physically segregated from other automobile and/or light duty truck installment sales contracts of the Servicer, or those which the Servicer services for others, to reflect the transfer to the related Trust. However, UCC financing statements reflecting the sale and assignment of the Receivables by TMCC to the Seller and by the Seller to the applicable Trust will be filed, and the respective accounting records and computer files of TMCC and the Seller will reflect such sale and assignment. Because the Receivables will remain in the possession of the Servicer or its agent and will not be stamped or otherwise marked to reflect the assignment to the Trustee, if a subsequent purchaser were able to take physical possession of the Receivables without knowledge of the assignment, the Trustee's interest in the Receivables could be defeated. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables—Security Interests". In addition, under certain circumstances the Trustee's security interest in collections that have been received by the Servicer but not yet remitted to the related Collection Account could be defeated.

Accounts

    With respect to each Trust that issues Notes, the Servicer will establish and maintain with the related Indenture Trustee one or more accounts (each, a "Collection Account"), in the name of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the related Securityholders, into which payments made on or with respect to the related Receivables, and all amounts released from any Yield Maintenance Account, Reserve Fund or other form of credit enhancement will be deposited for payment to the related Securityholders. With respect to each Trust that does not issue Notes, the Servicer will also establish and maintain a Collection Account and any other Trust Account in the name of the related Trustee on behalf of the related Certificateholders.

    If so provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Servicer will establish for each series of Securities an additional account (the "Payahead Account"), in the name of the related Trustee or, if such Trust issues Notes, the Indenture Trustee, into which, to the extent required by the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, early payments by or on behalf of Obligors on Precomputed Receivables will be deposited until such time as the related payment becomes due. Until such time as payments ahead are transferred from the Payahead Account to a Collection Account, they will not constitute collected interest or collected principal and will not be available for payment to the applicable Noteholders or Certificateholders. The Payahead Account will initially be maintained with the applicable Indenture Trustee or Trustee.

    Any other accounts to be established with respect to a Trust, including any Yield Maintenance Account or any Reserve Fund will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    For any series of Securities, funds in the related Collection Account not allocated for the purchase of additional Receivables during any Revolving Period, any Yield Maintenance Account, the Reserve Fund and such other accounts as may be identified in the related Prospectus Supplement (collectively, the "Trust Accounts") will be invested as provided in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement in Eligible Investments. "Eligible Investments" will be specified in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreements and are generally limited to investments acceptable to the Rating Agencies rating such Securities as being consistent with the rating of such Securities. Except as described below or in the related Prospectus Supplement, Eligible Investments are limited to obligations or securities that mature on or before the next Payment Date for such series. However, to the extent permitted by the Rating Agencies, funds in any Trust Account may be invested in securities that will not mature prior to the date of the next payment with respect to such Certificates or Notes and will not be sold to meet any shortfalls. Thus, the amount of cash in any Reserve Fund at any time may be less than the balance of the Reserve Fund. If the amount required to be withdrawn from any Reserve Fund or drawn down on a Revolving Liquidity Note (at which time the Reserve Fund may be unfunded) to cover shortfalls in collections on the related Receivables (as provided in the related Prospectus Supplement) exceeds the amount of cash in the Reserve Fund, a temporary shortfall in the

45


amounts paid to the related Noteholders or Certificateholders could result, which could, in turn, increase the average life of the Notes or the Certificates of such series. Except as otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, investment earnings on funds deposited in the Trust Accounts, net of losses and investment expenses (collectively, "Investment Earnings"), shall be released to the Servicer on each Payment Date and shall be the property thereof.

    The Trust Accounts will be maintained as Eligible Deposit Accounts. "Eligible Deposit Account" means either (a) a segregated account with an Eligible Institution or (b) a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in such account, so long as any of the securities of such depository institution have a credit rating from each Rating Agency in one of its generic rating categories which signifies investment grade. "Eligible Institution" means, with respect to a Trust, (a) the corporate trust department of the related Indenture Trustee or the related Trustee (if it is the Paying Agent under the Trust Agreement), as applicable, or (b) a depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the states thereof or the District of Columbia (or any domestic branch of a foreign bank), (i) which has either (A) a long-term unsecured debt rating acceptable to the Rating Agencies or (B) a short-term unsecured debt rating or certificate of deposit rating acceptable to the Rating Agencies and (ii) whose deposits are insured by the FDIC.

Servicing Procedures

    The Servicer will make reasonable efforts to collect all payments due with respect to the Receivables held by any Trust and will, consistent with the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable retail installment sale contracts it services for itself or others. Consistent with its normal procedures, the Servicer will be authorized to grant certain Rebates, adjustments or extensions with respect to the Receivables without the prior written consent of the Trustee. However, if any such modification alters the APR or the Amount Financed or the total number of Scheduled Payments of a Receivable or extends the maturity of a Receivable beyond the final scheduled maturity date set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the "Final Maturity Scheduled Date"), the Servicer will be obligated either to purchase such Receivable as described in the next paragraph or make Advances on each subsequent Payment Date in amounts equal to the amount of any reduction to the related Scheduled Payments to be paid by the related Obligors during the subsequent Collection Periods.

    In the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will covenant that except as otherwise contemplated therein, (i) it will not release any Financed Vehicle from the security interest granted in the related Receivable, (ii) it will do nothing to impair the rights of the Securityholders in the Receivables and (iii) it will not amend any Receivable such that the total number of Scheduled Payments, the Amount Financed or the APR is altered or the maturity of a Receivable is extended beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date unless it is making Advances corresponding to reductions to Scheduled Payments as described above. As of the last day of the second (or, if the Servicer so elects, the first) Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee discovers or receives notice of a breach of any such covenant that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Receivable, the Servicer, unless the breach is cured in all material respects, will purchase the Receivable (an "Administrative Receivable") from the Trustee at a price equal to the Administrative Purchase Payment for such Receivable. The "Administrative Purchase Payment" (1) for a Precomputed Receivable, will be equal to (a) the sum of (i) all remaining Scheduled Payments (plus any applicable Yield Maintenance Amount), (ii) an amount equal to any reimbursements of outstanding Advances made by the Servicer with respect to such Precomputed Receivable from collections on or in respect of other Receivables

46


and (iii) all past due Scheduled Payments for which an Advance has not been made, minus (b) all Payments Ahead with respect to such Receivable then on deposit in the Payahead Account and the Rebate, if any, paid to the Obligor on a Precomputed Receivable on or before the date of such purchase and (2) for a Simple Interest Receivable, will be equal to its unpaid Principal Balance, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the sum of the Interest Rate or Pass Through Rate specified in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Fee Rate to the last day of the Collection Period relating to such purchase. Upon the purchase of any Administrative Receivable, the Servicer will for all purposes of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Pooling Agreement, as applicable, be deemed to have released all claims for the reimbursement of outstanding Advances made in respect of such Receivable. This purchase obligation will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, the Trust or the Trustee for any such uncured breach by the Servicer.

    If the Servicer determines that eventual payment in full of a Receivable is unlikely, the Servicer will follow its normal practices and procedures to recover all amounts due upon such Receivable, including the repossession and disposition of the related Financed Vehicle at a public or private sale, or the taking of any other action permitted by applicable law. See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables".

Insurance on Financed Vehicles

    Each Receivable requires the related Obligor to maintain both comprehensive and collision insurance covering the Financed Vehicle in an amount not less than the actual cash value thereof pursuant to which TMCC is named as a loss payee. Since the Obligors may select their own insurers to provide the requisite coverage, the specific terms and conditions of their policies may vary. The terms of each Receivable allow, but do not require, TMCC to (and TMCC, in accordance with its current normal servicing procedures, does not) obtain any such coverage on behalf of the Obligor. TMCC currently does not monitor ongoing insurance compliance in connection with its customary servicing procedures. In the event that the failure of an Obligor to maintain any such required insurance results in a shortfall in amounts to be paid to Certificateholders, to the extent such shortfall is not covered by amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund or other methods of credit enhancement, the Securityholders could suffer a loss on their investment.

Collections

    With respect to each Trust, the Servicer will deposit all payments on the related Receivables (from whatever source) and all proceeds of such Receivables collected during each collection period specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (each, a "Collection Period") into the related Collection Account.

    The Servicer may retain all payments on or in respect of the Receivables received from Obligors and all proceeds of Receivables collected during each Collection Period without segregation in its own accounts until deposited in the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date unless and until (i) TMCC ceases to be the Servicer, (ii) an Event of Default exists and is continuing or (iii) the short-term unsecured debt of TMCC ceases to be rated at least P-1 by Moody's and A-1 by Standard & Poor's, and alternative arrangements acceptable to the Rating Agencies are not made. Thereafter, the Servicer will deposit all such payments and proceeds into the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after receipt. However, pending deposit into the Collection Account, collections may be invested by the Servicer at its own risk and for its own benefit and will not be segregated from its own funds, and the Servicer, at its own risk and for its own benefit, may instruct the Trustee to invest amounts held in the Collection Account from the time deposited until the related Payment Date in Eligible Investments. The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, will remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments of any Receivables to be purchased from the Trust into the Collection Account on or before the Business Day

47


immediately preceding the related Payment Date. If the Servicer were unable to remit such funds, Securityholders might incur a loss.

    "Eligible Investments" will be specified in the Transfer and Servicing Agreements and will be limited to investments that meet the criteria of each Rating Agency from time to time as being consistent with its then-current ratings of the Securities.

    To the extent set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Servicer may, in order to satisfy the requirements described above, obtain a letter of credit or other security for the benefit of the related Trust to secure timely remittances of collections on the related Receivables and payment of the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Receivables required to be repurchased by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable.

    Collections on or in respect of a Receivable made during a Collection Period (including Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments) which are not late fees, extension fees or certain other similar fees or charges will be applied first to any outstanding Advances made by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable, and then to the related Scheduled Payment. Any collections on or in respect of a Receivable remaining after such applications will be considered an "Excess Payment". Excess Payments constituting a prepayment in full of Precomputed Receivables and any Excess Payments relating to Simple Interest Receivables will be applied as a prepayment in respect of such Receivable (each, a "Prepayment"). All other Excess Payments in respect of Precomputed Receivables will be held by the Servicer (or if the Servicer has not satisfied the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) in the third preceding paragraph, deposited in the Payahead Account), as a Payment Ahead.

Advances

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, if the Scheduled Payment due on a Precomputed Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) is not received in full by the end of the month in which it is due, whether as the result of any extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, the amount of Payments Ahead, if any, not previously applied with respect to such Precomputed Receivable, shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall and the Payments Ahead shall be reduced accordingly. If any shortfall remains, the Servicer will make an advance to the Trust in an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall (each, a "Precomputed Advance"). The Servicer will not be obligated to make a Precomputed Advance to the extent that it determines, in its sole discretion, that such Precomputed Advance will not be recovered from subsequent collections on or in respect of the related Precomputed Receivable. All Precomputed Advances shall be reimbursable to the Servicer, without interest, if and when a payment relating to a Receivable with respect to which a Precomputed Advance has previously been made is subsequently received (other than from Administrative Purchase Payments). Upon the determination by the Servicer that reimbursement from the preceding source is unlikely, it will be entitled to recover unreimbursed Precomputed Advances from collections on or in respect of other Receivables.

    In addition, if the Scheduled Payment on a Simple Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) is not received in full by the end of the month in which it is due, the Servicer shall, subject to the limitations set forth below, advance to the Trust an amount with respect to such Simple Interest Receivable equal to the product of the Principal Balance of such Simple Interest Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its APR minus the amount of interest actually received on such Simple Interest Receivable during the related Collection Period (each, a "Simple Interest Advance", and together with the Precomputed Advances, the "Advances"). If such a calculation results in a negative number, an amount equal to such negative amount shall be paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of outstanding Simple Interest Advances. In addition, in the event that a Simple Interest Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable,

48


the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but not including interest for the current Collection Period) shall, up to the amount of all outstanding Simple Interest Advances in respect thereof, be withdrawn from the related Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of such outstanding Simple Interest Advances. No advances of principal will be made with respect to Simple Interest Receivables. The Servicer will not be obligated to make a Simple Interest Advance (other than in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the prepayment of a Simple Interest Receivable) to the extent that it determines, in its sole discretion, that such Simple Interest Advance will not be recovered from subsequent collections on or in respect of the related Simple Interest Receivable. All Simple Interest Advances shall be reimbursable to the Servicer, without interest, when a payment relating to a Receivable with respect to which a Simple Interest Advance has previously been made is subsequently received (othe rthan from Administrative Purchase Payments). Upon the determination by the Servicer that reimbursement from the preceding source is unlikely, it will be entitled to recover unreimbursed Simple Interest Advances from collections on or in respect of other Receivables.

    The Servicer will also be required to make Advances with respect to each Receivable that it does not purchase as described above under "—Servicing Procedures" as to which it has made any modification that reduces the amount of Scheduled Payments to be paid by the related Obligor during subsequent Collection Periods.

    The Servicer will make all Advances by depositing into the related Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Precomputed Advances and Simple Interest Advances due in respect of a Collection Period on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date.

Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses

    Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to any Trust, the Servicer will be entitled to receive the servicing fees for each Collection Period in an amount equal to a specified percentage per annum (as set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement, the "Servicing Fee Rate") of the Pool Balance as of the first day of the related Collection Period (the "Basic Servicing Fee"). The Total Servicing Fee (together with any portion of all servicing fees that remains unpaid from prior Payment Dates) will be paid as provided in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to a given Trust, the Servicer will also be entitled to collect and retain any late fees, prepayment charges, extension fees and other administrative fees or similar charges allowed by applicable law with respect to the related Receivables as additional servicing compensation (the "Supplemental Servicing Fee," and together with the Basic Servicing Fee, the "Total Servicing Fee") and will be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for certain liabilities. The Servicer may also be entitled to receive any interest earned during a Collection Period from the investment of monies in the Trust Accounts. Payments by or on behalf of Obligors will be allocated to scheduled payments and late fees and other charges in accordance with the Servicer's normal practices and procedures.

    The Total Servicing Fee will compensate the Servicer for performing the functions of a third party servicer of motor vehicle receivables as an agent for their beneficial owner, including collecting and posting all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, providing payment information, paying costs of collections and policing the collateral. The Servicing Fee also will compensate the Servicer for administering the particular Receivables Pool, including making Advances, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the related Trustee and Indenture Trustee with respect to payments and generating federal income tax information for such Trust and for the related Noteholders and Certificateholders. The Total Servicing Fee also will reimburse the Servicer for certain taxes, the fees of the related Trustee and Indenture

49


Trustee, if any, accounting fees, outside auditor fees, data processing costs and other costs incurred in connection with administering the applicable Receivables Pool.

    The "Pool Balance" will equal the aggregate Principal Balance of the Receivables. The "Principal Balance" of a Receivable as of any date will equal the Amount Financed (as defined in the related Transfer and Servicing Agreement) minus the sum of (i) in the case of a Precomputed Receivable, that portion of all Scheduled Payments due on or prior to such date allocable to principal, computed in accordance with the actuarial method, (ii) in the case of a Simple Interest Receivable, that portion of all Scheduled Payments actually received on or prior to such date allocable to principal, (iii) any Warranty Purchase Payment or Administrative Purchase Payment with respect to such Receivable allocable to principal (to the extent not included in clauses (i) and (ii) above) and (iv) any Prepayments or other payments applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable (to the extent not included in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above).

Payments

    With respect to each series of Securities, beginning on the Payment Date specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, payments of principal and interest (or, where applicable, of principal or interest only) on each class of such Securities entitled thereto will be made by the applicable Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders and by the applicable Trustee to the Certificateholders of such series. The timing, calculation, allocation, order, source, priorities of and requirements for all payments to each class of Noteholders and all payments to each class of Certificateholders of such series will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    With respect to each Trust, on each Payment Date collections on the related Receivables will be withdrawn from the related Collection Account and will be paid to the Noteholders and/or Certificateholders to the extent provided in the related Prospectus Supplement. Credit enhancement, such as a Reserve Fund, will be available to cover any shortfalls in the amount available for payment to the Securityholders on such date to the extent specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. As more fully described in the related Prospectus Supplement, and unless otherwise specified therein, (i) payments in respect of principal of a class of Securities of a given series will be subordinate to payments in respect of interest on such class; (ii) payments in respect of one or more classes of Certificates of such series may be subordinate to payments in respect of Notes, if any, of such series or other classes of Certificates of such series; and (iii) payments in respect of one or more classes of Notes of such series may be subordinated to payments in respect of other classes of Notes of such series.

Credit and Cash Flow Enhancement

    The amounts and types of credit and cash flow enhancement arrangements and the provider thereof, if applicable, with respect to each class of Securities of a given series, if any, will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. If and to the extent provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, credit and cash flow enhancement may be in the form of subordination of one or more classes of Securities, Reserve Funds, over-collateralization, letters of credit, credit or liquidity facilities (including the issuance by a Trust of a Revolving Liquidity Note), surety bonds, guaranteed investment contracts, swaps or other interest rate protection agreements, repurchase obligations, yield maintenance agreements, other agreements with respect to third party payments or other support, cash deposits or such other arrangements as may be described in the related Prospectus Supplement or any combination of two or more of the foregoing. If specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, credit or cash flow enhancement for a class of Securities may cover one or more other classes of Securities of the same series, and credit or cash flow enhancement for a series of Securities may cover one or more other series of Securities.

50


    The presence of a Reserve Fund and other forms of credit enhancement for the benefit of any class or series of Securities is intended to enhance the likelihood of receipt by the Securityholders of such class or series of the full amount of principal and interest due thereon and to decrease the likelihood that such Securityholders will experience losses. Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the credit enhancement for a class or series of Securities will not provide protection against all risks of loss and will not guarantee repayment of the entire principal balance and interest thereon. If losses occur which exceed the amount covered by any credit enhancement or which are not covered by any credit enhancement, Securityholders of any class or series will bear their allocable share of deficiencies, as described in the related Prospectus Supplement. In addition, if a form of credit enhancement covers more than one class or series of Securities, Securityholders of any such class or series will be subject to the risk that such credit enhancement will be exhausted by the claims of Securityholders of other classes or series.

    Reserve Fund.  If so provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller or a third party will establish for a series or class of Securities an account, as specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Reserve Fund"), which will be maintained with the related Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as applicable. Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Reserve Fund will be funded by an initial deposit by the Seller or a third party on the Closing Date in the amount set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Reserve Fund Initial Deposit"). To the extent provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be increased on each Payment Date thereafter up to the Specified Reserve Fund Balance (as defined in the related Prospectus Supplement) by the deposit therein of the amount of collections on the related Receivables remaining on each such Payment Date after the payment of all other required payments on such date. The related Prospectus Supplement will describe the circumstances and manner under which payments may be made out of the Reserve Fund, either to holders of the Securities covered thereby or to the Seller or a third party.

    Revolving Liquidity Note.  If so provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and a Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement"), the Trust will issue a Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Revolving Liquidity Note") to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, or a creditworthy third party. The related Prospectus Supplement will describe the circumstances and manner under which amounts may be drawn down under the Revolving Liquidity Note to make payments either to holders of the Securities covered thereby or to the Seller or a third party.

Yield Maintenance Account; Yield Maintenance Agreement

    Yield Maintenance Account.  A "Yield Maintenance Account" may be established with respect to any class or series of Securities. The terms relating to any such account will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. Each Yield Maintenance Account will be designed to hold funds to be applied by the related Trustee or, if such Trust issues Notes, the Indenture Trustee, to provide payments to Securityholders in respect of Receivables that have APRs less than the sum of the Pass Through Rate or Interest Rate specified in the related Prospectus Supplement plus the Servicing Fee Rate specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Required Rate"). Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, each Yield Maintenance Account will be maintained with the same entity with which the related Collection Account is maintained and will be created with an initial deposit in an amount and by the Seller or other person specified in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    On each Payment Date, the related Trustee or Indenture Trustee will transfer to the Collection Account from monies on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account an amount specified in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Yield Maintenance Deposit") in respect of the Receivables having APRs less than the Required Rate for such Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified in the related

51


Prospectus Supplement, amounts on deposit on any Payment Date in the Yield Maintenance Account in excess of the "Required Yield Maintenance Amount" specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, after giving effect to all payments to be made on such Payment Date, will be released to the Seller. Monies on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account may be invested in Eligible Investments under the circumstances and in the manner described in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Trust Agreement. Any monies remaining on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account upon the termination of the Trust also will be released to the Seller.

    Yield Maintenance Agreement.  If a Yield Maintenance Account is established with respect to any class or series of Securities which allows or requires any party to make deposits therein after the Closing Date, TMCC, the Seller, any third party responsible for such deposits and the related Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, will enter into a "Yield Maintenance Agreement" pursuant to which, on each Payment Date, such party will deposit into the Yield Maintenance Account the difference between the amount held on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account as of such Payment Date and the Required Yield Maintenance Amount, in each case determined after giving effect to all required withdrawals from the Yield Maintenance Account on such Payment Date.

Net Deposits

    As an administrative convenience, unless the Servicer is required to remit collections daily (as described in "—Collections" above), the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections, aggregate Advances and Administrative Purchase Amounts for any Trust for or with respect to the related Collection Period on a monthly basis and net of payments to be made to the Servicer for such Trust with respect to such Collection Period. The Servicer may cause to be made a single, net transfer from the Collection Account to the Payahead Account, if any, or vice versa. The Servicer, however, will account to the Trustee, any Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, if any, and the Certificateholders with respect to each Trust as if all deposits, payments and transfers were made individually. With respect to any Trust that issues both Certificates and Notes, if the related Payment Dates are not the same for all classes of Securities, all distributions, deposits or other remittances made on a Payment Date will be treated as having been distributed, deposited or remitted on the same Payment Date for the applicable Collection Period for purposes of determining other amounts required to be distributed, deposited or otherwise remitted on a Payment Date.

Statements to Trustees and Trust

    On a Business Day in each month that precedes each Payment Date (each a "Determination Date" to be specified in the related Prospectus Supplement), the Servicer will provide to the applicable Indenture Trustee, if any, and the applicable Trustee a statement setting forth with respect to a series of Securities substantially the same information as is required to be provided in the periodic reports provided to Securityholders of such series described under "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Reports to Securityholders".

Evidence as to Compliance

    Each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will provide that a firm of nationally recognized independent accountants will furnish to the related Trust and Indenture Trustee or Trustee, as applicable, annually a statement as to compliance in all material respects by the Servicer during the preceding twelve months (or, in the case of the first such certificate, from the applicable Closing Date, which may be a longer or shorter period) with certain standards relating to the servicing of the applicable Receivables.

    Each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will also provide for delivery to the related Trust and Indenture Trustee or Trustee, as applicable, substantially

52


simultaneously with the delivery of such accountants' statement referred to above, of a certificate signed by an officer of the Servicer stating that the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, throughout the preceding twelve months (or, in the case of the first such certificate, from the Closing Date) in all material respects or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, describing each such default. The Servicer has agreed to give each Indenture Trustee and each Trustee notice of certain Servicer Defaults under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

    Copies of such statements and certificates may be obtained by Securityholders by a request in writing addressed to the Applicable Trustee.

Certain Matters Regarding the Servicer

    Each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will provide that TMCC may not resign from its obligations and duties as Servicer thereunder, except upon determination that TMCC's performance of such duties is no longer permissible under applicable law. No such resignation will become effective until the related Indenture Trustee or Trustee, as applicable, or a successor servicer has assumed TMCC's servicing obligations and duties under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

    Each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will further provide that neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees and agents will be under any liability to the related Trust or the related Noteholders or Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action pursuant to such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement or for errors in judgment; except that neither the Servicer nor any such person will be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Servicer's duties thereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder. In addition, each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will provide that the Servicer is under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to the Servicer's servicing responsibilities under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that, in its opinion, may cause it to incur any expense or liability.

    Under the circumstances specified in each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any entity into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer is a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer will be the successor of the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Servicer Default

    Except as otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, "Servicer Default" under each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement will consist of (i) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee the Servicer's Certificate for the related Collection Period, or any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) to deliver to the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Trust Accounts any required payment or to direct the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after receipt by the Servicer of written notice of such failure given (A) to the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) by the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the applicable Trustee and Indenture Trustee, by the holders of Notes or Certificates of the related series evidencing not less than 25% in principal amount of such outstanding Notes or Certificates (in each

53


case, excluding Securities held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof); (ii) any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant or agreement in such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders of the related series and which continues unremedied for 90 days after the giving of written notice of such failure (A) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, by the applicable Trustee or Indenture Trustee or (B) to the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, and to the applicable Trustee and Indenture Trustee, by the holders of Notes or Certificates of the related series evidencing not less than 25% in principal amount of such outstanding Notes or Certificates (in each case, excluding Securities held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof); and (iii) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (i) above for a period of ten Business Days shall not constitute a Servicer Default if such failure or delay is caused by an event of force majeure. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the Servicer shall not be relieved from using all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller and the Securityholders prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations.

    "Insolvency Event" means, with respect to any Person, any of the following events or actions: certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings with respect to such Person and certain actions by such Person indicating its insolvency, reorganization pursuant to bankruptcy proceedings or inability to pay its obligations.

Rights Upon Servicer Default

    In the case of any Trust that has issued Notes, unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, as long as a Servicer Default under a Sale and Servicing Agreement remains unremedied, the related Indenture Trustee or holders of Notes of the related series evidencing not less than 51% of principal amount of such Notes then outstanding (excluding any Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), acting together as a single class, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement, whereupon such Indenture Trustee or a successor servicer appointed by such Indenture Trustee will succeed to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. In the case of any Trust that has not issued Notes, unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, as long as a Servicer Default under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement remains unremedied, the related Trustee or holders of Certificates of the related series evidencing not less than 51% of the principal amount of such Certificates then outstanding (excluding any Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), acting together as a single class, may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, whereupon such Trustee or a successor servicer appointed by such Trustee will succeed to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If a bankruptcy trustee or similar official has been appointed for the Servicer, and no Servicer Default other than such appointment has occurred, such trustee or official may have the power to prevent such Indenture Trustee, such Noteholders, such Trustee or such Certificateholders from effecting a transfer of servicing. In the event that such Indenture Trustee or Trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of, a successor with a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of automobile and/or light duty truck receivables. Such Indenture Trustee or Trustee may make such arrangements for compensation to be paid, which in no event may be greater than the servicing compensation to the Servicer under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding such termination,

54


the Servicer shall be entitled to payment of certain amounts payable to it prior to such termination for services rendered prior to such termination.

Waiver of Past Defaults

    With respect to each Trust that has issued Notes, unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, (i) the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the related series, acting together as a single class (excluding any Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) or (ii) in the case of any Servicer Default which does not adversely affect the related Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders, the holders of the Certificates of such series evidencing not less than 51% of the outstanding Certificate Balance (excluding any Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof); acting together as a single class, may, on behalf of all such Noteholders or Certificateholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement and its consequences, except a Servicer Default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the Trust Accounts in accordance with such Sale and Servicing Agreement. With respect to each Trust that has not issued Notes, holders of Certificates of such series evidencing not less than 51% of the principal amount of such Certificates then outstanding (excluding any Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), acting together as a single class, may, on behalf of all such Certificateholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except a Servicer Default in making any required deposits to or payments from the related Trust Accounts in accordance with such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement or in respect of a covenant or provision of the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate. No such waiver will impair such Noteholders' or Certificateholders' rights with respect to subsequent defaults.

Amendment

    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, each of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements may be amended by the parties thereto, without the consent of the related Noteholders or Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in the Transfer and Servicing Agreements or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Transfer and Servicing Agreements or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided that such action will not, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the related Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as applicable, materially and adversely affect the interest of any such Noteholder or Certificateholder.

    Each Transfer and Servicing Agreement may also be amended by the parties thereto without the consent of any Noteholder or Certificateholder for the purpose of changing the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, the manner in which a Reserve Fund is funded, changing the remittance schedule for deposit of collections in accounts or changing the definition of Eligible Investments if (a) the relevant trustee has been provided a letter from Standard and Poor's to the effect that such amendment will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of any rating it currently assigns to any class of Notes or Certificates, and the relevant trustee has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of the amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the relevant trustee that the amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any class of Notes or Certificates, or (b) the relevant trustee has received the consent of the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding principal amount of each class of Notes and Certificates (or the relevant class or classes of Notes or Certificates) of such series, voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment shall increase or reduce in any manner or accelerate or delay the timing of collections on the related contracts or payments required

55


to be made to the holders of any Notes or Certificates of such series without the consent of the holders of all of the affected Notes or Certificates.

    Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreements may also be amended by the Seller, the Servicer, the related Trustee and any related Indenture Trustee with the consent of (i) the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the principal amount of then outstanding Notes, if any, of the related series, acting together as a single class (excluding Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), or (ii) in the case of any amendment which does not adversely affect the related Indenture Trustee or such Noteholders, the holders of the Certificates of such series evidencing not less than 51% of the outstanding Certificate Balance (excluding Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof), acting together as a single class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of such Transfer and Servicing Agreements or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders or Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the related Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of such Noteholders or Certificateholders or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Notes or Certificates of such series which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes or Certificates of each class affected thereby.

Non-Petition

    Each Trust Agreement will provide that the applicable Trustee does not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the related Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders (including the Seller) of such Trust and the delivery to such Trustee by each such Certificateholder (including the Seller) of a certificate certifying that such Certificateholder reasonably believes that such Trust is insolvent.

Payment Of Notes

    Upon the payment in full of all outstanding Notes of a given series and the satisfaction and discharge of the related Indenture, the related Trustee will succeed to all the rights of the Indenture Trustee, and the Certificateholders of such series will succeed to all the rights of the Noteholders of such series, under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein.

Seller Liability

    Under each Trust Agreement, the Seller will agree to be liable directly to an injured party for the entire amount of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (other than those incurred by a Noteholder or a Certificateholder in the capacity of an investor with respect to such Trust) arising out of or based on the arrangement created by such Trust Agreement as though such arrangement created a partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act in which the Seller was a general partner.

Termination

    With respect to each Trust, the obligations of the Servicer, the Seller, the related Trustee and the related Indenture Trustee, if any, pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreements will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last related Receivable and the disposition of any amounts received upon liquidation of any property remaining in the Trust, (ii) the payment to Noteholders, if any, and Certificateholders of the related series of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreements and (iii) the occurrence of any event described below.

56


    Unless otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, in order to avoid excessive administrative expense, the Servicer will have the option to purchase from each Trust, as of the end of any applicable Collection Period, if the then outstanding Pool Balance with respect to the Receivables held by such Trust is 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, the corpus of the Trust at a price equal to the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments or Administrative Purchase Payments, as the case may be, for the Receivables (including Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables in the Collection Period preceding the Payment Date on which such purchase is effected) plus the appraised value of any other property held as part of the Trust (less liquidation expenses), but in any case an amount at least equal to the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Notes and Certificates plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, if so specified in the related prospectus supplement, any amounts payable to the swap counterparty. The related Trustee and related Indenture Trustee, if any, will give written notice of termination to each Securityholder.

    As described below in this Prospectus Supplement, if a Swap Termination or default under the Revolving Liquidity Note occurs, the principal of each class of Notes and Certificates may become immediately payable and the Trust will terminate. In such event, the Trustee will be obligated to liquidate the assets of the Trust and the proceeds therefrom (and amounts held in related accounts) will be applied to pay the Notes and Certificates of the related series in full, to the extent of amounts available therefor. Similarly, if so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, if a Swap Termination or an Event of Default occurs during a Revolving Period, such Swap Termination or Event of Default may cause the early termination of the Revolving Period and the commencement of payments of principal on the Notes.

    Upon termination of any Trust, the related Trustee shall, or shall direct the related Indenture Trustee to, promptly sell the assets of such Trust (other than the Trust Accounts) in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms. The proceeds from any such sale, disposition or liquidation of the Receivables of such Trust will be treated as collections on such Receivables and deposited in the related Collection Account. With respect to any Trust, if the proceeds from the liquidation of the related Receivables and any amounts on deposit in the related Reserve Fund, if any, Yield Maintenance Account, if any, Payahead Account, if any, and Collection Account are not sufficient to pay the Notes, if any, and the Certificates of the related series in full, the amount of principal returned to Noteholders and Certificateholders thereof will be reduced and some or all of such Noteholders and Certificateholders will incur a loss.

    As more fully described in the related Prospectus Supplement, any outstanding Notes of the related series will be redeemed concurrently with any of the events specified above and the subsequent payment to the related Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the applicable Trust Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement will effect early retirement of the Certificates of such series.

Administration Agreement

    TMCC, in its capacity as administrator (the "Administrator"), will enter into an agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time, an "Administration Agreement") with each Trust that issues Notes and the related Indenture Trustee pursuant to which the Administrator will agree, to the extent provided in such Administration Agreement, to provide the notices and to perform other administrative obligations required by the related Indenture. If so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement with respect to any such Trust, as compensation for the performance of the Administrator's obligations under the applicable Administration Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the Administrator will be entitled to a monthly administration fee of such amount as may be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement (the "Administration Fee"), which fee will be paid by the Servicer. The Administrator, pursuant to an Administration Agreement, will deliver appropriate draw requests under a Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement for execution and delivery by

57


the Indenture Trustee 24 or more hours before the Servicer is required to put cash in the Collection Account.


TMCC DEMAND NOTES

    The following summary describes certain terms of demand notes that may be issued from time to time by TMCC (the "TMCC Demand Notes"). TMCC Demand Notes will be issued under a Demand Notes Indenture (the "Demand Notes Indenture"), between TMCC and the trustee thereunder (in such capacity, the "Demand Notes Indenture Trustee"). The characteristics of any particular series of TMCC Demand Notes and the provisions of any particular Demand Notes Indenture may differ from those described in this section and will be more fully described in the related Prospectus Supplement. In addition, this summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of any Demand Notes Indenture that is entered into by the related trust.

General

    Collections in respect of the receivables will be applied to make payments of interest and principal of each class of Securities. If so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, payments of interest and/or principal of one or more classes of Securities may be made on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, and not simply as a pass-through of collections received during a particular month. In order to make distributions of principal and/or interest on a basis other than monthly, the Trustee will be required to invest amounts otherwise payable as principal or interest of the specified classes of Securities in highly rated investments maturing on or just prior to specified Payment Dates and bearing interest at rates specified in the related Prospectus Supplement as directed by the Servicer. The Trustee may invest some or all such funds in TMCC Demand Notes, due to the administrative difficulties associated with regularly obtaining highly rated investments in variable amounts with the necessary maturities and demand features that earn a sufficient amount of interest. The Trustee may invest in TMCC Demand Notes even if payments to holders of such securities are to be paid monthly.

    The principal amount of the TMCC Demand Notes outstanding purchased with collections will change from time to time, depending on the amount of collections invested. The aggregate principal amount of TMCC Demand Notes that may be issued under any Demand Notes Indenture will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. Interest on the TMCC Demand Notes will be paid at rates and on terms set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. Different forms of TMCC Demand Notes may be used to represent investments of Collections relating to interest and investments of Collections relating to principal. Interest Collections related demand notes will generally mature on the dates on which interest is to be paid to Securityholders. Principal Collections related demand notes will generally mature on the dates on which principal is to be paid to Securityholders. In addition, the Trustee will generally have the right to demand payment of the TMCC Demand Notes in connection with the reduction of TMCC's rating to a level below that specified in the related Prospectus Supplement or upon the occurrence of other events specified in the related Prospectus Supplement. See "Risk Factors—The swap and the demand notes may affect the ratings of the securities." The payment terms relating to the TMCC Demand Notes will be set forth in detail in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    TMCC Demand Notes will be unsecured general obligations of TMCC and will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of TMCC from time to time outstanding. TMCC Demand Notes will be obligations solely of TMCC and will not be obligations of, or guaranteed by, TMS or any affiliate of TMCC or TMS, directly or indirectly. TMCC Demand Notes will not be subject to redemption by TMCC and will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

    Any TMCC Demand Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons, and payment of principal of and interest on TMCC Demand Notes will be made by the Demand Notes

58


Indenture Trustee as paying agent by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Trustee, as the holder of the TMCC Demand Notes.

    No Securityholder will have a direct interest in any TMCC Demand Notes or have any direct rights under the TMCC Demand Notes or the Demand Notes Indenture. The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will be the only holder of the TMCC Demand Notes, which it will hold for the benefit of the Securityholders. In the event any vote or other action, including action upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Demand Notes Indenture, is required or permitted by the holders of the TMCC Demand Notes under the Demand Notes Indenture, the Trustee as such holder will be permitted to vote or take such other action as it shall deem fit. However, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall be permitted to seek the direction of the Securityholders before taking any such action, all as further described in the related Prospectus Supplement. References under this caption to "holders of the TMCC Demand Notes" and phrases of similar import shall be to the Trustee as the holder of the TMCC Demand Notes.

Removal of Demand Notes Indenture Trustee; Successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee

    The Demand Notes Indenture Trustee may resign by providing written notice to TMCC and the Trust, as holder of the TMCC Demand Notes. The Trust, as holder of the TMCC Demand Notes, may remove the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee by written notice thereto and to TMCC, and may appoint a successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee. TMCC may remove the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee in the event that: (a) the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee fails to continue to satisfy the criteria for eligibility to act as Demand Notes Indenture Trustee; (b) the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee or its property; or (d) the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting in such capacity.

    If the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee resigns, is removed or is unable to act as Demand Notes Indenture Trustee for any reason, TMCC shall promptly appoint a successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee, unless the Trust shall already have done so. Within one year after a successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee takes office, the Trust may appoint a successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee to replace any successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee appointed by TMCC. Any resignation or removal of the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Demand Notes Indenture Trustee shall become effective only upon such successor's acceptance of such appointment and the payment of outstanding fees and expenses due to the prior Demand Notes Indenture Trustee as set forth in the Demand Notes Indenture.

Successor Corporation

    The Demand Notes Indenture provides that TMCC may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other corporation, provided, that in any such case: (i) either TMCC shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and shall expressly assume, by execution and delivery to the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee of a supplemental Demand Notes Indenture in form satisfactory thereto, all of the obligations of TMCC under the TMCC Demand Notes and the Demand Notes Indenture; and (ii) TMCC or such successor corporation, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, lease or conveyance, be in default in the performance of any such obligation. Subject to certain limitations in the Demand Notes Indenture, the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee may receive from TMCC an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture.

59


Supplemental Demand Notes Indentures

    Supplemental Demand Notes Indentures may be entered into by TMCC and the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee without the consent of the holder of the TMCC Demand Notes (a) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions thereof that may be inconsistent with any other provision thereof or to add any other provision with respect to matters or questions arising under the Demand Notes Indenture which are not inconsistent with the provisions thereof, provided that any such action will not, in the good faith judgment of the parties, materially and adversely affect the interest of any holder of TMCC Demand Notes or any Securityholder and the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee shall be furnished an opinion of counsel to the effect that such amendment will not materially and adversely affect the interest of any Securityholder, and (b) for purposes of appointing a successor trustee hereunder or in connection with any merger or consolidation of TMCC or the transfer or lease of the assets of TMCC in their entirety, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture. In addition, supplemental Demand Notes Indentures may be entered into by TMCC and the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee with the consent of the holder of the TMCC Demand Notes (which consent will not be given except at the written direction of Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued by a Trust, or, with respect to a Trust that has not issued Notes, at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Certificates (in each case excluding any Securities held by TMCC, TAFR LLC, or any affiliate thereof) acting as a single class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any other provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights with respect to the TMCC Demand Notes, provided that no supplemental Demand Notes Indenture may, among other things, reduce the principal amount of or interest on any TMCC Demand Notes, change the maturity date for the payment of the principal, the date on which interest will be payable or other terms of payment or reduce the percentage of holders of TMCC Demand Notes necessary to modify or alter the Demand Notes Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of Securities affected thereby.

Events of Default Under the Demand Notes Indenture

    The Demand Notes Indenture defines an Event of Default with respect to the TMCC Demand Notes as being any one of the following events: (i) default in payment of principal on the TMCC Demand Notes and continuance of such default for a period of 10 days; (ii) default in payment of any interest on the TMCC Demand Notes and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; (iii) default in the performance, or breach, of any other covenant or warranty of TMCC in the Demand Notes Indenture continued for 60 days after appropriate notice; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of TMCC Demand Notes may declare the TMCC Demand Notes to be due and payable. Any past default with respect to the TMCC Demand Notes may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding TMCC Demand Notes, except in a case of failure to pay principal of or interest on the TMCC Demand Notes for which payment has not been subsequently made or a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Demand Notes Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding TMCC Demand Note. TMCC will be required to file with the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee annually an officer's certificate as to the absence of certain defaults. The Demand Notes Indenture Trustee may withhold notice to holders of the TMCC Demand Notes of any default with respect to such series (except in payment of principal or interest) if it in good faith determines that it is in the interest of such holders to do so.

    Subject to the provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture relating to the duties of the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Demand Notes Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of TMCC Demand Notes, unless such

60


holders have offered to the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Subject to provisions in the Demand Notes Indenture for the indemnification of the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding TMCC Demand Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee with respect to the TMCC Demand Notes.

Absence of Covenants

    The provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture do not contain any covenants that limit the ability of TMCC to subject its properties to liens, to enter into any type of transaction or business or to secure any of its other indebtedness without providing security for the TMCC Demand Notes. The provisions of the Demand Notes Indenture do not afford the holders of the TMCC Demand Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, change in control, merger or similar transaction or other event.

Defeasance and Discharge of Demand Notes Indenture

    TMCC may satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Demand Notes Indenture by delivering to the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee for cancellation all outstanding TMCC Demand Notes, or depositing with the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee money sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding TMCC Demand Notes on the date on which any such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Demand Notes Indenture and the TMCC Demand Notes, and in each case by satisfying certain additional conditions in the Demand Notes Indenture. However, in the case of any such deposit, certain of TMCC's obligations under the Demand Notes Indenture (including the obligation to pay the principal and interest on the outstanding TMCC Demand Notes) will continue until all of the TMCC Demand Notes are paid in full.

Regarding the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee

    The Demand Notes Indenture Trustee may be the applicable Trustee and/or Indenture Trustee. The Demand Notes Indenture contains certain limitations on the right of the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee, should it become a creditor of TMCC, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Demand Notes Indenture Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with TMCC; provided, however, that if the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

    The Demand Notes Indenture provides that, in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Demand Notes Indenture Trustee is required to use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of his or her own affairs in the exercise of its powers.

Governing Law

    The Demand Notes Indenture and the TMCC Demand Notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

61



THE SWAP AGREEMENT

    The following summary describes certain terms of a swap agreement that a Trust may enter into in order to reduce its exposure to currency and/or interest rate risks. The provisions of any particular swap agreement may differ from those described in this section and will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. In addition, this summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of any swap agreement that is entered into by the related trust.

Payments Under the Swap Agreement

    As specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, on the Closing Date a Trust may enter into a 1992 International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreement (Multi Currency-Cross Border) (such agreement, the "1992 Master Agreement") with TMCC or an unaffiliated third party (the "Swap Counterparty"), as modified to reflect the transactions described below (the 1992 Master Agreement, as so modified, the "Swap Agreement"). The Swap Agreement will incorporate certain relevant standard definitions published by ISDA.

    Under the Swap Agreement, the Trust will generally pay to the Swap Counterparty amounts in U.S. dollars in respect of interest and principal, as applicable, due on each Payment Date under the Swap Agreement and the Swap Counterparty will generally pay to the Trust amounts equal to the interest or principal payable on the relevant Securities, which, in the event of a currency swap, would be paid in the relevant currency. If the Trust is unable to make any payment due to be made by it to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty generally will not be obligated to make its corresponding payment to the Trust under the Swap Agreement.

    If so specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, if on any specified payment date under the Swap Agreement the amount of funds from collections and other sources available to the Trust to make any payment owed to the Swap Counterparty is less than the amount due to the Swap Counterparty, the obligation of the Swap Counterparty to pay an amount equal to the interest or principal otherwise due on the relevant Securities on that date may be reduced in the same proportion as the proportion that the shortfall in the amount owed to the Swap Counterparty represents of the total amount due. Under such circumstances, if on a subsequent specified payment date, amounts are available and are paid by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty to reimburse all or any part of the shortfall, then the obligation of the Swap Counterparty to pay an amount equal to the interest or principal otherwise due on the Securities on that date will be increased in the same proportion as the proportion that the amount of the reimbursement represents of the amount otherwise owed by the Swap Counterparty on that date.

    The Trust generally will not be obligated to pay interest to the Swap Counterparty on any shortfalls in payments, and, correspondingly, Certificateholders generally will not be entitled to receive interest on any amounts not paid as a result of the proportional reduction described above.

    Unless the Swap Agreement is terminated early as described under "—Early Termination of Swap Agreement," the Swap Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the scheduled maturity date of the Securities and (ii) the date on which all amounts due in respect of the Swap Agreement have been paid.

Conditions Precedent

    The respective obligations of the Swap Counterparty and the Trust to pay certain amounts due under the Swap Agreement will be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) no Swap Event of Default (as defined below under "—Defaults Under Swap Agreement") or event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be

62


continuing and (ii) no Early Termination Date (as defined below under "—Early Termination of Swap Agreement") shall have occurred or been effectively designated.

Defaults Under Swap Agreement

    Events of default under the Swap Agreement (each, a "Swap Event of Default") generally will be limited to: (i) the failure of the Trust or the Swap Counterparty to pay any amount when due under the Swap Agreement after giving effect to the applicable grace period, if any; (ii) the occurrence of certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust or the Swap Counterparty and (iii) certain other standard events of default under the 1992 Master Agreement including "Breach of Agreement," "Misrepresentation" (generally not applicable to the Trust) and "Merger without Assumption", as described in Sections 5(a)(ii), 5(a)(iv) and 5(a)(viii) of the 1992 Master Agreement.

Termination Events

    Termination events under the Swap Agreement (each, a "Swap Termination Event") will consist of the following: (i) the Trust or the Transferor becomes subject to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and (ii) certain standard termination events under the 1992 Master Agreement including "Illegality" (which generally relates to changes in law causing it to become unlawful for either of the parties to perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement), "Tax Event" (which generally relates to either party to the Swap Agreement receiving payments thereunder from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of certain taxes) and "Tax Event Upon Merger" (which generally relates to a party to the Swap Agreement receiving a payment under the Swap Agreement from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of certain taxes as a result of a party merging with another entity), each as more fully described in Sections 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii) of the 1992 Master Agreement; provided, however, that the occurrence of a "Tax Event" or "Tax Event Upon Merger" generally will only constitute a Swap Termination Event if the requisite percentage of Securityholders specified in the related Prospectus Supplement directs the Trustee to terminate the Swap Agreement and liquidate the assets of the Trust. Additional or different Termination Events may be specified in the Prospectus Supplement.

Early Termination of Swap Agreement

    Upon the occurrence of any Swap Event of Default under the Swap Agreement, the non-defaulting party will have the right to designate an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Swap Agreement) upon the occurrence and continuance of such Swap Event of Default. A Swap Agreement will terminate on an Early Termination Date. With respect to Termination Events, an Early Termination Date may be designated by one or both of the parties (as specified in the Swap Agreement with respect to each Termination Event) and will occur only upon notice and, in certain cases, after the party causing the Termination Event has used reasonable efforts to transfer its rights and obligations under such Swap Agreement to a related entity within a limited period after notice has been given of the Termination Event, all as set forth in the Swap Agreement. The occurrence of an Early Termination Date under the Swap Agreement will constitute a "Swap Termination".

    Upon any Swap Termination, the Trust or the Swap Counterparty may be liable to make a termination payment to the other (regardless, if applicable, of which of such parties may have caused such termination). Such termination payment will be calculated on the basis that the Trust is the Affected Party (as defined in the Swap Agreement), subject to certain exceptions. The amount of any such termination payment will be based on the market value of the Swap Agreement computed on the basis of market quotations of the cost of entering into swap transactions with the same terms and conditions that would have the effect of preserving the respective full payment obligations of the parties, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Swap Agreement (assuming, for purposes of

63


such calculation, that all outstanding amounts previously due but unpaid to the Swap Counterparty are due and payable on the first Payment Date that would have occurred after the Early Termination Date). Any such termination payment could, if interest or currency exchange rates have changed significantly, be substantial.

    The Prospectus Supplement will specify whether the defaulting party will or will not be entitled to any portion of the termination payment related to the market value of the Swap Agreement because of its default with respect to any particular Swap Event of Default or Swap Termination Event.

    Under certain circumstances, if a Swap Termination occurs, the principal of each class of Securities may become immediately payable and the Trustee will be obligated to liquidate the assets of the Trust. In any such event, the ability of the Trust to pay interest and/or principal on each class of Securities will depend on (a) the price at which the assets of the Trust are liquidated, (b) the amount of the swap termination payment, if any, which may be due to the Swap Counterparty from the Trust under the Swap Agreement and (c) the amount of the swap termination payment, if any, which may be due to the Trust from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement and, in the event of a currency swap, (d) the spot exchange rate at which the Trustee is able to convert the amounts referred to in (a) and (c) into the relevant currency. In the event that the net proceeds of the liquidation of the assets of the Trust are not sufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Securities and for the Trust to meet its obligations, if any, in respect of the termination of the Swap Agreement, then such amounts will be allocated and applied in accordance with the priority of payments described in the related Prospectus Supplement and the claims of the Swap Counterparty in respect of such net proceeds will rank higher in priority than the claims of the relevant Securities. If a Swap Termination occurs and the Trust does not terminate, the Trust will not be protected from the interest rate and currency fluctuations hedged by the Swap Agreement, and payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders may be adversely affected.

    Generally, the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement will provide that upon the occurrence of (i) any Swap Event of Default arising from any action taken, or failure to act, by the Swap Counterparty, or (ii) a Swap Termination Event (except as described in the following sentence) with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is an Affected Party, the Trustee may and will, at the direction of the requisite percentage of the Securityholders specified in such agreement, by notice to the Swap Counterparty, designate an Early Termination Date with respect to the Swap Agreement. If a Swap Termination Event occurs because the Trust or the Seller becomes subject to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trustee will be required by the terms of such agreement to terminate the Swap Agreement.

Taxation

    Neither the Trust nor the Swap Counterparty will be obligated under the Swap Agreement to gross up if withholding taxes are imposed on payments made under the Swap Agreement.

    In the event that any withholding or similar tax is imposed on payments by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty will be entitled to deduct amounts in the same proportion (as calculated in accordance with the Swap Agreement) from subsequent payments due from it. In the event that the Swap Counterparty is required to withhold amounts from payments by the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, the payment obligations of the Swap Counterparty will be reduced by such amounts and the payment obligations of the Trust under the Swap Agreement will remain the same. In either such event, payments on the Securities may be subject to reduction in proportion to the amount so deducted or withheld. In either such event, a specified percentage of the Securityholders may direct the Trustee to terminate the Swap Agreement and liquidate the assets of the Trust, as described above under "—Termination Events".

64


Assignment

    Except as provided below, neither the Trust nor the Swap Counterparty will be permitted to assign, novate or transfer as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under the Swap Agreement. The Swap Counterparty generally may not transfer the Swap Agreement to another party unless (i) the Swap Counterparty delivers an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that as of the date of such transfer the transferee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Swap Agreement, (ii) a Swap Termination Event or Swap Event of Default does not occur under the Swap Agreement as a result of such transfer and (iii) the then current ratings of the Securities are not adversely affected as a result of such transfer. In addition, in the event the debt rating of the Swap Counterparty is reduced to a level below that specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, the Swap Counterparty may have the right to (a) assign the Swap Agreement to another party (or otherwise obtain a replacement swap agreement on substantially the same terms as the Swap Agreement) and thereby be released from its obligations under the Swap Agreement; provided that (i) the new swap counterparty, by a written instrument, accepts all of the obligations of the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee, (ii) the Swap Counterparty delivers an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee confirming that as at the date of such transfer the new swap counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or replacement, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Swap Agreement, (iii) a Swap Termination Event or Swap Event of Default does not occur under the Swap Agreement as a result of such transfer and (iv) the ratings assigned to the Securities after such assignment and release will be at least equal to the ratings assigned by any applicable Rating Agency to the Securities at the time of such reduction of the rating of the Swap Counterparty's long-term debt, or (b) collateralize its payment obligations thereunder, provided that the conditions described in the preceding clauses (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) are satisfied with respect to such collateralization. The cost of any such transfer or replacement will be borne by the Swap Counterparty or the new swap counterparty and not by the Trust; provided, however that the Swap Counterparty shall not be required to make any payment to the new swap counterparty to obtain an assignment or replacement swap. The Swap Counterparty shall have no obligation to assign the Swap Agreement, obtain a replacement swap agreement or collateralize its payment obligations thereunder in the event of a ratings downgrade and neither the Trust nor the Securityholders will have any remedy against the Swap Counterparty if the Swap Counterparty fails to make such an assignment, obtain a replacement swap agreement or collateralize its payment obligations thereunder. In the event that the Swap Counterparty does not elect to assign the Swap Agreement, obtain a replacement swap agreement or collateralize its payment obligations thereunder the Swap Counterparty may (but shall not be obligated to) establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Rating Agency, in each case such that the ratings of the Securities by the applicable Rating Agency will not be withdrawn or reduced.

Modification and Amendment of Swap Agreement

    The applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement will contain provisions permitting the Trustee to enter into any amendment of the Swap Agreement (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provisions or to correct or supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein or with the Agreement or (iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Swap Agreement; provided, in the case of clause (iii) that such amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any specified Securityholder. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder if Standard & Poor's delivers a letter to the Trustee to the effect that the amendment will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of Notes, and if the Trustee has provided Moody's

65


with 10 days prior written notice of the amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Trustee that the amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any class of Notes.

The Swap Counterparty

    TMCC may act as the Swap Counterparty. A description of TMCC is provided under "The Servicer" herein. Information regarding TMCC is publicly available as described under "Where You Can Find More Information About Your Securities—TMCC" herein. Where indicated by the context, as used herein "Swap Counterparty" includes any party that replaces the initial Swap Counterparty as described above under "—Assignment".

Governing Law

    The Swap Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.


CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE RECEIVABLES

General

    The transfer of the Receivables to the applicable Trustee, the perfection of the security interests in the Receivables and the enforcement of rights to realize on the Financed Vehicles as collateral for the Receivables are subject to a number of federal and state laws, including the UCC as in effect in various states. The Servicer and the Seller will take the action described below to perfect the rights of the applicable Trustee in the Receivables. If, through inadvertence or otherwise, another party purchases (including the taking of a security interest in) the Receivables for new value in the ordinary course of its business, without actual knowledge of the Trust's interest, and takes possession of the Receivables, such purchaser would acquire an interest in the Receivables superior to the interest of the Trust.

Security Interests

    General.  In states in which retail installment sale contracts such as the Receivables evidence the credit sale of automobiles and/or light duty trucks by dealers to obligors, the contracts also constitute personal property security agreements and include grants of security interests in the vehicles under the applicable UCC. Perfection of security interests in financed automobiles and/or light duty trucks is generally governed by the motor vehicle registration laws of the state in which the vehicle is located. In most states, a security interest in automobiles and/or light duty trucks is perfected by obtaining the certificate of title to the Financed Vehicle or notation of the secured party's lien on the vehicles' certificate of title.

    All retail installment sales contracts acquired by TMCC from Dealers name TMCC as obligee or assignee and as the secured party. TMCC also takes all actions necessary under the laws of the state in which the related Financed Vehicle is located to perfect its security interest in such Financed Vehicle, including, where applicable, having a notation of its lien recorded on the related certificate of title and obtaining possession of such certificate of title. Because TMCC continues to service the contracts as Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Obligors on the contracts will not be notified of the sale from TMCC to the Seller or the sale from the Seller to the Trust, and no action will be taken to record the transfer of the security interest from TMCC to the Seller or from the Seller to the Trust by amendment of the certificates of title for the Financed Vehicles or otherwise.

    Perfection.  Pursuant to the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, TMCC will sell and assign its security interest in the Financed Vehicles to the Seller and, with respect to each Trust, pursuant to

66


the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will assign its security interest in the Financed Vehicles to such Trust. However, because of the administrative burden and expense, none of TMCC, the Seller or the related Trustee will amend any certificate of title to identify such Trust as the new secured party on such certificate of title relating to a Financed Vehicle. However, UCC financing statements with respect to the transfer to the Seller of TMCC's security interest in the Financed Vehicles and the transfer to the Trustee of the Seller's security interest in the Financed Vehicles will be filed. In addition, the Servicer will continue to hold any certificates of title relating to the vehicles in its possession as custodian for the Seller and such Trust pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables".

    In most states, an assignment such as that under each Receivables Purchase Agreement or each Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement is an effective conveyance of a security interest without amendment of any lien noted on a vehicle's certificate of title, and the assignee succeeds thereby to the assignor's rights as secured party. The Trust's security interest will not be noted on a vehicle's certificate of title, but the Trust will have a perfected security interest in the vehicles. Because the Trust will not be listed as legal owner on the certificates of title, the security interest of such Trust in the vehicle could be defeated through fraud or negligence. In such states, in the absence of fraud or forgery by the vehicle owner or the Servicer or administrative error by state or local agencies, the notation of TMCC's lien on the certificates of title will be sufficient to protect such Trust against the rights of subsequent purchasers of a Financed Vehicle or subsequent lenders who take a security interest in a Financed Vehicle. In each Receivables Purchase Agreement, TMCC will represent and warrant, and in each Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will represent and warrant, that it has taken all action necessary to obtain a perfected security interest in each Financed Vehicle. If there are any Financed Vehicles as to which TMCC failed to obtain and assign to the Seller a perfected security interest, the security interest of the Seller would be subordinate to, among others, subsequent purchasers of the Financed Vehicles and holders of perfected security interests therein. To the extent such failure has a material and adverse effect on the Trust's interest in the related Receivables, however, it would constitute a breach of the warranties of TMCC under the related Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Seller under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller would be required to repurchase the related Receivable from the Trust and, pursuant to the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, TMCC would be required to purchase such Receivable from the Seller, in each case unless the breach was cured. Pursuant to each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller will assign such rights to the related Trust. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables" and "Risk Factors—The trust's security interests in financed vehicles may be unenforceable or defeated".

    Continuity of Perfection.  Under the laws of most states, the perfected security interest in a vehicle would continue for up to four months after the vehicle is moved to a state that is different from the one in which it is initially registered and the owner thereof re-registers the vehicle in the new state. A majority of states generally require surrender of a certificate of title to re-register a vehicle. In those states (such as California) where a secured party holds possession of the certificate of title to maintain perfection of the security interest under the UCC or otherwise, the secured party would learn of the re-registration through the request from the obligor under the related installment sales contract to surrender possession of the certificate of title. In the case of vehicles registered in states providing for the notation of a lien on the certificate of title but not possession by the secured party (such as Texas), the secured party would receive notice of surrender from the state of re-registration if the security interest is noted on the certificate of title. Thus, the secured party would have the opportunity to re-perfect its security interest in the vehicle in the state of relocation. However, these procedural safeguards will not protect the secured party if through fraud, forgery or administrative error, the

67


debtor somehow procures a new certificate of title that does not list the secured party's lien. Additionally, in states that do not require a certificate of title for registration of a motor vehicle, re-registration could defeat perfection. In the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables, TMCC will take steps to effect re-perfection upon receipt of notice of re-registration or information from the obligor as to relocation. Similarly, when an Obligor sells a Financed Vehicle, TMCC must surrender possession of the certificate of title or will receive notice as a result of its lien noted thereon and accordingly will have an opportunity to require satisfaction of the related Receivable before release of the lien. Under each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will be obligated to take appropriate steps, at the Servicer's expense, to maintain perfection of security interests in the Financed Vehicles and will be obligated to purchase the related Receivable if it fails to do so and such failure has a material and adverse effect on the Trust's interest in the Receivable.

    Priority of Liens Arising by Operation of Law.  Under the laws of most states (including California), liens for repairs performed on a motor vehicle take priority over even a perfected security interest in a financed vehicle, and tax liens that predate the perfection of a security interest (and in some states even tax liens that arise later) may take priority. The Code also grants priority to certain federal tax liens over the lien of a secured party. The laws of certain states and federal law permit the confiscation of vehicles by governmental authorities under certain circumstances if used in unlawful activities, which may result in the loss of a secured party's perfected security interest in the confiscated vehicle. TMCC will represent and warrant to the Seller in each Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Seller will represent and warrant to the Trust in each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that, as of related Closing Date, each security interest in a Financed Vehicle is prior to all other present liens (other than tax liens and other liens that arise by operation of law) upon and security interests in such Financed Vehicle. However, liens for repairs or taxes could arise, or the confiscation of a Financed Vehicle could occur, at any time during the term of a Receivable. No notice will be given to the Trustee, any Indenture Trustee, any Noteholders or the Certificateholders in respect of a given Trust if such a lien arises or confiscation occurs which would not give rise to the Seller's repurchase obligation under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement or TMCC's repurchase obligation under the related Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Repossession

    In the event of default by an obligor, the holder of the related retail installment sale contract has all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC, except where specifically limited by other state laws. Among the UCC remedies, the secured party has the right to perform repossession by self-help means, unless such means would constitute a breach of the peace or is otherwise limited by applicable state law. Unless a vehicle financed by TMCC is voluntarily surrendered, self-help repossession is the method employed by TMCC in most states and is accomplished simply by retaking possession thereof. In cases where an obligor objects or raises a defense to repossession, or if otherwise required by applicable state law, a court order must be obtained from the appropriate state court, and such vehicle must then be recovered in accordance with that order. In some jurisdictions, the secured party is required to notify such obligor of the default and the intent to repossess the collateral and to give such obligor a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. In most states, under certain circumstances after any such financed vehicle has been repossessed, the related obligor may reinstate the related contract by paying the delinquent installments and other amounts due.

Notice of Sale; Redemption Rights

    In the event of default by an obligor under a retail installment sales contract, some jurisdictions require that the obligor be notified of the default and be given a time period within which to cure the default prior to repossession. Generally, this right of cure may only be exercised on a limited number of occasions during the term of the related contract.

68


    The UCC and other state laws require the secured party to provide an obligor with reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any public sale and/or the date after which any private sale of the collateral may be held. In most states, an obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale by paying the secured party the unpaid principal balance of the obligation and accrued interest thereon plus reasonable expenses for repossessing, holding and preparing the collateral for disposition and arranging for its sale, plus, in some jurisdictions, reasonable attorneys' fees. In some states, an obligor has the right to redeem the collateral prior to actual sale by payment of delinquent installments or the unpaid balance.

Deficiency Judgments and Excess Proceeds

    The proceeds of resale of the vehicles generally will be applied first to the expenses of resale and repossession and then to the satisfaction of the indebtedness. While some states impose prohibitions or limitations on deficiency judgments if the net proceeds from resale do not cover the full amount of the indebtedness, a deficiency judgment can be sought in those states that do not prohibit or limit such judgments. In addition to the notice requirement, the UCC requires that every aspect of the sale or other disposition, including the method, manner, time, place and terms, be "commercially reasonable". Generally, courts have held that when a sale is not "commercially reasonable," the secured party loses its right to a deficiency judgment. However, the deficiency judgment would be a personal judgment against the obligor for the shortfall, and a defaulting obligor can be expected to have very little capital or sources of income available following repossession. Therefore, in many cases, it may not be useful to seek a deficiency judgment or, if one is obtained, it may be settled at a significant discount or be uncollectible. In addition, the UCC permits the debtor or other interested party to recover for any loss caused by noncompliance with the provisions of the UCC. Also, prior to a sale, the UCC permits the debtor or other interested person to prohibit the secured party from disposing of the collateral if it is established that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the "default" provisions under the UCC.

    Occasionally, after resale of a repossessed vehicle and payment of all expenses and indebtedness, there is a surplus of funds. In that case, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to any holder of a subordinate lien with respect to such vehicle or if no such lienholder exists, the UCC requires the creditor to remit the surplus to the obligor.

Certain Bankruptcy Considerations

    The Seller, in structuring the transactions contemplated hereby, has taken steps that are intended to make it unlikely that the voluntary or involuntary application for relief by TMCC under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar applicable state laws (collectively, "Insolvency Laws") will result in consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Seller with those of TMCC. These steps include the creation of the Seller as a directly or indirectly wholly-owned, limited purpose subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability company agreement containing certain limitations (including requiring that the Seller must at all times have at least one "Independent Manager" and restrictions on the nature of the Seller's business and on its ability to commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency Law without the affirmative vote of a majority of its managers, including each Independent Manager). In addition, to the extent that the Seller granted a security interest in the Receivables to the Trust, and that interest was validly perfected before the bankruptcy or insolvency of TMCC and was not taken or granted in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud TMCC or its creditors, that security interest should not be subject to avoidance, and payments to the Trust with respect to the Receivables should not be subject to recovery by a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of TMCC. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a court concluded that the assets and liabilities of the Seller should be consolidated with those of TMCC in the event of the application of applicable Insolvency Laws to TMCC or following the bankruptcy or insolvency of TMCC the security interest in

69


the Receivables granted by the Seller to the Trust should be avoided, (ii) a filing were made under any Insolvency Law by or against the Seller or (iii) an attempt were made to litigate any of the foregoing issues, delays in payments on the Certificates and possible reductions in the amount of such payments could occur.

    On the Closing Date, the Seller will receive the opinion of O'Melveny & Myers LLP to the effect that, based on a reasoned analysis of analogous case law (although there is no precedent based on directly similar facts), and, subject to certain facts, assumptions and qualifications specified therein and applying the principles set forth therein, in the event of a voluntary or involuntary case in respect of TMCC under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code at a time when TMCC and the Seller were insolvent, the property of the Seller would not properly be substantively consolidated with the property of the estate of TMCC. Among other things, it is assumed in such opinion that the Seller will follow certain procedures in the conduct of its affairs, including maintaining records and books of account separate from those of TMCC, refraining from commingling its assets with those of TMCC, and refraining from holding itself out as having agreed to pay, or being liable for, the debts of TMCC. The Seller intends to follow these and other procedures related to maintaining its separate identity. However, there can be no assurance that a court would not conclude that the assets and liabilities of the Seller should be consolidated with those of TMCC.

    TMCC will warrant in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that the sale of the Receivables by it to the Seller is a valid sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if TMCC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case a court could take the position that the sale of Receivables to the Seller should instead be treated as a pledge of such Receivables to secure a borrowing of such debtor. If a court were to reach such conclusions, or a filing were made under any Insolvency Law by or against the Seller, or if an attempt were made to litigate any of the foregoing issues, delays in payments on the Securities (and possible reductions in the amount of such payments) could occur. In addition, if the transfer of Receivables to the Seller is treated as a pledge instead of a sale, a tax or government lien on the property of TMCC arising before the transfer of a Receivable to the Seller may have priority over the Seller's interest in such Receivable. In addition, while TMCC is the Servicer, cash collections on the Receivables may be commingled with the funds of TMCC and, in the event of the bankruptcy of TMCC, the Trust may not have a perfected interest in such collections.

    TMCC and the Seller will treat the transactions described herein as a sale of the Receivables to the Seller, such that the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code should not apply to the Receivables in the event that TMCC were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case.

Consumer Protection Laws

    Numerous federal and state consumer protection laws and related regulations impose substantial requirements upon lenders and servicers involved in consumer finance. These laws include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B and Z, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, the Texas Consumer Credit Code, state adoptions of the National Consumer Act and of the Uniform Consumer Credit Code and state motor vehicle retail installment sales acts and other similar laws. Also, state laws impose finance charge ceilings and other restrictions on consumer transactions and require contract disclosures in addition to those required under federal law. These requirements impose specific statutory liabilities upon creditors who fail to comply with their provisions. In some cases, this liability could affect an assignee's ability to enforce consumer finance contracts such as the Receivables.

    The so-called "Holder-in-Due-Course" Rule of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC Rule"), the provisions of which are generally duplicated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other statutes

70


or the common law, has the effect of subjecting a seller (and certain related creditors and their assignees) in a consumer credit transaction to all claims and defenses which the obligor in the transaction could assert against the seller of the goods. Liability under the FTC Rule is limited to the amounts paid by the obligor under the contract, and the holder of the contract may also be unable to collect any balance remaining due thereunder from the obligor. The FTC Rule is generally duplicated by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, other state statutes or the common law in certain states.

    Most of the Receivables will be subject to the requirements of the FTC Rule. Accordingly, each Trust, as holder of the related Receivables, will be subject to any claims or defenses that the purchaser of the applicable Financed Vehicle may assert against the seller of the Financed Vehicle. As to each Obligor, such claims are limited to a maximum liability equal to the amounts paid by the Obligor on the related Receivable. Under most state motor vehicle dealer licensing laws, sellers of motor vehicles are required to be licensed to sell motor vehicles at retail sale. Furthermore, federal odometer regulations promulgated under the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act require that all sellers of new and used vehicles furnish a written statement signed by the seller certifying the accuracy of the odometer reading. If a seller is not properly licensed or if a written odometer disclosure statement was not provided to the purchaser of the related financed vehicle, an obligor may be able to assert a defense against the seller of the vehicle. If an Obligor were successful in asserting any such claim or defense, such claim or defense would constitute a breach of the Seller's warranties under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a breach of TMCC's warranties under the related Receivables Purchase Agreement and would create an obligation of the Seller and TMCC, respectively, to repurchase the Receivable unless the breach is cured. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables".

    Courts have applied general equitable principles to secured parties pursuing repossession and litigation involving deficiency balances. These equitable principles may have the effect of relieving an obligor from some or all of the legal consequences of a default.

    In several cases, consumers have asserted that the self-help remedies of secured parties under the UCC and related laws violate the due process protections provided under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Courts have generally upheld the notice provisions of the UCC and related laws as reasonable or have found that the repossession and resale by the creditor do not involve sufficient state action to afford constitutional protection to borrowers.

    From time to time, TMCC has been involved in litigation under consumer protection laws. In addition, with respect to the Receivables originated in California, a significant number may provide that such Receivables may be rescinded by the related Dealer if such Dealer is unable to assign the Receivable to a lender within ten days of the date of such Receivable. Although there is authority, which is not binding on any court, providing that a conditional sale contract containing such a provision would be unenforceable under California law, to the knowledge of TMCC and the Seller, this enforceability issue has not been presented before any California court.

    TMCC and the Seller will represent and warrant under each Receivables Purchase Agreement and each Sale and Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, that each Receivable complies with all requirements of law in all material respects. In addition, with respect to any Trust as to which 10% or more of the Receivables were originated in California, on the applicable Closing Date, the Seller will receive an opinion of counsel to the effect that all of the California Receivables are enforceable under California law and applicable federal laws, subject to customary exceptions. Accordingly, if an Obligor has a claim against such Trust for violation of any law and such claim materially and adversely affects such Trust's interest in a Receivable, such violation would constitute a breach of the representations and warranties of TMCC under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Seller under such Sale and Servicing Agreement or Pooling and Servicing Agreement and would create an obligation of TMCC and the Seller to repurchase the Receivable unless the breach is cured. See "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables".

71


Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act

    Under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, an Obligor who enters the military service after the origination of such Obligor's Receivable (including an Obligor who is a member of the National Guard or is in reserve status at the time of the origination of the Obligor's Receivable and is later called to active duty) may not be charged interest above an annual rate of 6% during the period of such Obligor's active duty status, unless a court orders otherwise upon application of the lender. In addition, some states, including California, allow members of the National Guard to extend payments on any contract obligation if called into active service by the Governor for a period exceeding 7 days. It is possible that the foregoing could have an effect on the ability of the Servicer to collect the full amount of interest owing on certain of the Receivables. In addition, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940 and the laws of some states, including California, New York and New Jersey, impose limitations that would impair the ability of the Servicer to repossess an affected Receivable during the Obligor's period of active duty status. Thus, in the event that such a Receivable goes into default, there may be delays and losses occasioned by the inability to exercise the Trust's rights with respect to the related Financed Vehicle in a timely fashion.

    Any such shortfall, to the extent not covered by amounts payable to the Securityholders from amounts on deposit in the related Reserve Fund or from coverage provided under any other credit enhancement mechanism, could result in losses to the Securityholders.

Other Limitations

    In addition to the laws limiting or prohibiting deficiency judgments, numerous other statutory provisions, including federal bankruptcy laws and related state laws, may interfere with or affect the ability of a secured party to realize upon collateral or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, in a Chapter 13 proceeding under the federal bankruptcy law, a court may prevent a creditor from repossessing a vehicle and, as part of the rehabilitation plan, reduce the amount of the secured indebtedness to the market value of the vehicle at the time of bankruptcy (as determined by the court), leaving the creditor as a general unsecured creditor for the remainder of the indebtedness. A bankruptcy court may also reduce the monthly payments due under a contract or change the rate of interest and time of repayment of the indebtedness.


CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

    The following general discussion of the anticipated material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes and the Certificates of any series, to the extent it relates to matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, represents the opinion of tax counsel to each Trust with respect to the related series on the material matters associated with such consequences, subject to the qualifications set forth herein. "Tax Counsel" with respect to each Trust will be O'Melveny & Myers LLP. The summary does not purport to deal with federal income tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. For example, it does not discuss the tax treatment of Noteholders or Certificateholders that are insurance companies, regulated investment companies or dealers in securities. Moreover, there are no cases or Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings on similar transactions involving both debt and equity interests issued by a trust with terms similar to those of the Notes and the Certificates. As a result, the IRS may disagree with all or a part of the discussion below. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local, foreign and any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes and the Certificates.

    The following summary is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial or ruling authority, all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive. Each Trust will be

72


provided with an opinion of Tax Counsel regarding certain federal income tax matters discussed below. An opinion of Tax Counsel, however, is not binding on the IRS or the courts. No ruling on any of the issues discussed below will be sought from the IRS. For purposes of the following summary, references to the Trust, the Notes, the Certificates and related terms, parties and documents shall be deemed to refer, unless otherwise specified herein, to each Trust and the Notes, Certificates and related terms, parties and documents applicable to such Trust. The federal income tax consequences to the beneficial owners of the Certificates (the "Certificate Owners") will vary depending on whether the Trust will be treated as a partnership or as a grantor trust under the Code. The Prospectus Supplement for each Series of Certificates will specify whether the Trust will be treated as a partnership (or other form of entity not subject to entity-level taxation) or as a grantor trust.

Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts

    Tax Characterization of the Trust

    The following general discussion of the anticipated federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes and the Certificates of a Trust denominated an "owner trust" in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (an "Owner Trust"), to the extent it relates to matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, represents the opinion of Tax Counsel to each Owner Trust with respect to the related series on the material matters associated with those consequences, subject to the qualifications set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, Tax Counsel has prepared or reviewed the statements in this Prospectus under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts," and is of the opinion that such statements are correct in all material respects. Such statements are intended as an explanatory discussion of the related tax matters affecting investors generally, but do not purport to furnish information in the level of detail or with the attention to an investor's specific tax circumstances that would be provided by an investor's own tax advisor. Accordingly, it is suggested that each investor consult its own tax advisor with regard to the tax consequences to it of investing in Notes or Certificates.

    Tax Counsel will deliver its opinion that an Owner Trust will not be an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. This opinion will be based on the assumption that the terms of the Related Documents will be complied with, and on Tax Counsel's conclusion that the nature of the income of the Trust will exempt it from the rule that requires certain publicly traded partnerships to be treated as corporations for income tax purposes.

    If the Owner Trust were taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the Trust would be subject to corporate income tax on its taxable income. The Trust's taxable income would include all its income on the Receivables, possibly reduced by its interest expense on the Notes. Any such corporate income tax could materially reduce cash available to make payments on the Notes and the Certificates, and Certificate Owners could be liable for any such tax that is not paid by the Owner Trust.

    Tax Consequences to Owners of the Notes

    Treatment of the Notes as Indebtedness.  The Seller and any Noteholders will agree, and the beneficial owners of the Notes (the "Note Owners") will agree by their purchase of Notes, to treat the Notes as debt for federal income tax purposes. Tax Counsel will, except as otherwise provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, deliver its opinion that the Notes will be classified as debt for federal income tax purposes. The discussion below assumes this characterization of the Notes is correct.

    OID, Indexed Securities, Etc.  The discussion below assumes that all payments on the Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars, and that the Notes are not Indexed Securities or Strip Notes (as defined in this Prospectus). Moreover, the discussion assumes that the interest formula for the Notes and the terms of the Notes will cause interest on the Notes computed based on the interest formula to

73


constitute "qualified stated interest" under Treasury regulations (the "OID regulations") relating to original issue discount ("OID"), and that any OID on the Notes (i.e., any excess of the principal amount of the Notes over their issue price) does not exceed a de minimis amount (i.e., 1/4% of their principal amount multiplied by the number of full years included in determining their weighted average maturity), all within the meaning of the OID regulations. In determining whether any OID on the Notes is de minimis, the Seller expects to use a reasonable assumption regarding prepayments (a "Prepayment Assumption") to determine the weighted average maturity of the Notes. If these conditions are not satisfied with respect to any given series of Notes, additional tax considerations with respect to such Notes will be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Interest Income on the Notes.  Based on the above assumptions, except as discussed in the following paragraph, the Notes will not be considered issued with OID. The stated interest on the Notes will be taxable to a Note Owner as ordinary interest income when received or accrued in accordance with that Note Owner's method of tax accounting. Under the OID regulations, the Note Owner of a Note issued with a de minimis amount of OID must include such OID in income, on a pro rata basis, as principal payments are made on the Note. A purchaser who buys a Note after its original issuance for more or less than its principal amount will generally be subject, respectively, to the premium amortization or market discount rules of the Code.

    The Note Owner of a Note that has a fixed maturity date of not more than one year from the issue date of such Note (a "Short-Term Note") may be subject to special rules. An accrual basis Note Owner of a Short-Term Note (and certain cash method Note Owners, including, but not limited to, regulated investment companies, as set forth in Section 1281 of the Code) generally would be required to report interest income as interest accrues on a straight-line basis or under a constant yield method over the term of each interest period. Other cash basis Note Owners of a Short-Term Note would, in general, be required to report interest income as interest is paid (or, if earlier, upon the taxable disposition of the Short-Term Note). However, a cash basis Note Owner of a Short-Term Note reporting interest income as it is paid may be required to defer a portion of any interest expense otherwise deductible on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the Short-Term Note until the taxable disposition of the Short-Term Note. A cash basis Note Owner that is not required to report interest income as it accrues under Section 1281 may elect to accrue interest income on all nongovernment debt obligations with a term of one year or less, in which case the Note Owner would not be subject to the interest expense deferral rule referred to in the preceding sentence. Special rules apply if a Short-Term Note is purchased for more or less than its principal amount.

    Sale or Other Disposition.  If a Note Owner sells a Note, the Note Owner will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the Note Owner's adjusted tax basis in the Note. The adjusted tax basis of a Note to a particular Note Owner will equal the Note Owner's cost for the Note, increased by any market discount, acquisition discount, OID and gain previously included in income by such Note Owner with respect to the Note and decreased by the amount of bond premium, if any, previously amortized and by the amount of payments of principal and OID previously received by that Note Owner with respect to such Note. Any such gain or loss, and any gain or loss recognized on a prepayment of the Notes, will be capital gain or loss if the Note was held as a capital asset, except for gain representing accrued interest and accrued market discount not previously included in income. Capital losses generally may be used only to offset capital gains.

    Foreign Holders.  Interest paid (or accrued) to a Note Owner who is not a U.S. Person (a "Foreign Owner") generally will be considered "portfolio interest," and generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax and withholding tax if the interest is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Foreign Owner and (i) the Foreign Owner is not actually or constructively a "10 percent shareholder" of the Trust or the Seller (including

74


a holder holding 10% or more of the outstanding Certificates) or a "controlled foreign corporation" with respect to which the Trust or the Seller is a "related person" within the meaning of the Code, (ii) the Foreign Owner is not a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (iii) the interest is not contingent interest described in Section 871(h)(4) of the Code, and (iv) the Foreign Owner does not bear certain relationships to any Certificate Owner. To qualify for the exemption from taxation, the Foreign Owner must provide the applicable Trustee or other person who is otherwise required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to the Notes with an appropriate statement (on Form W-8BEN or a similar form), signed under penalties of perjury, certifying that the Note Owner is a Foreign Owner and providing the Foreign Owner's name and address. If a Note is held through a securities clearing organization or certain other financial institutions, the organization or institution may provide the relevant signed statement to the withholding agent; in that case, however, the signed statement must be accompanied by a Form W-8BEN or substitute form provided by the Foreign Owner and the Foreign Owner must notify the financial institution acting on its behalf of any changes to the information on the Form W-8BEN (or substitute form) within 30 days of any such change. If interest paid to a Foreign Owner is not considered portfolio interest, then it will be subject to United States federal income and withholding tax at a rate of 30 percent, unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty. In order to claim the benefit of any applicable tax treaty, the Foreign Owner must provide the Trustee or other person who is required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to the Notes with an appropriate statement (on Form W-8BEN or a similar form), signed under penalties of perjury, certifying that the Foreign Owner is entitled to benefits under the treaty.

    Any capital gain realized on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note by a Foreign Owner will be exempt from United States federal income and withholding tax, provided that (i) the gain is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Foreign Owner and (ii) in the case of an individual Foreign Owner, the Foreign Owner is not present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of disposition.

    As used herein, a "U.S. Person" means (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or a partnership organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate, the foreign source income of which is includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust is eligible to and has elected to be treated as a domestic trust pursuant to the Code, despite not meeting the requirements described in clause (a).

    Backup Withholding.  Each Note Owner (other than an exempt Note Owner such as a corporation, tax-exempt organization, qualified pension and profit-sharing trust, individual retirement account or nonresident alien who provides certification as to status as a nonresident) will be required to provide, under penalties of perjury, a certificate (on Form W-9) providing the Note Owner's name, address, correct federal taxpayer identification number and a statement that the Note Owner is not subject to backup withholding. Should a nonexempt Note Owner fail to provide the required certification, the Owner Trust will be required to withhold 30.5 percent of the amount otherwise payable to the Note Owner, and remit the withheld amount to the IRS as a credit against the Note Owner's federal income tax liability. The backup withholding tax rate will be gradually reduced each year until 2006 when the backup withholding tax rate will be 28 percent.

    Possible Alternative Treatments of the Notes.  If, contrary to the opinion of Tax Counsel, the IRS successfully asserted that one or more of the Notes did not represent debt for federal income tax purposes, the Notes might be treated as equity interests in the Owner Trust. If so treated, the Trust might be taxable as a corporation with the adverse consequences described above (and the taxable corporation would not be able to reduce its taxable income by deductions for interest expense on Notes

75


recharacterized as equity). Alternatively, and most likely in the view of Tax Counsel, the Trust might be treated as a publicly traded partnership that would not be taxable as a corporation because it would meet certain qualifying income tests. Nonetheless, treatment of the Notes as equity interests in such a publicly traded partnership could have adverse tax consequences to certain Note Owners. For example, income to certain tax-exempt entities (including pension funds) would be "unrelated business taxable income," income to Foreign Owners may be subject to U.S. tax and cause Foreign Owners to be subject to U.S. tax return filing and withholding requirements, and individual Note Owners might be subject to certain limitations on their ability to deduct their share of Trust expenses.

    Tax Consequences to Owners of the Certificates

    Treatment of the Trust as a Partnership or Disregarded Entity.  The Seller and the Servicer will agree, and the Certificate Owners will agree by their purchase of Certificates, to treat the Owner Trust (i) as a partnership for purposes of federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, or (ii) if there is a single Certificate Owner and none of the Notes are characterized as equity interests in the Trust, as an entity that is disregarded for such purposes. If the trust is treated as a partnership, the assets of the partnership would be the assets held by the Trust, the partners of the partnership would be the Certificate Owners (including the Seller in its capacity as recipient of payments from the Reserve Fund) and the Notes would be debt of the partnership. If the Trust is treated as a disregarded entity, the assets of the Trust would be treated as assets of the Certificate Owner, and the Notes would be treated as indebtedness of the Certificate Owner. However, the proper characterization of the arrangement involving the Owner Trust, the Certificates, the Notes, the Seller and the Servicer is not clear because there is no authority on transactions closely comparable to that contemplated herein.

    A variety of alternative characterizations are possible. For example, because the Certificates have certain features characteristic of debt, the Certificates might be considered debt of the Seller or the Owner Trust. Any such characterization would not result in materially adverse tax consequences to Certificate Owners as compared to the consequences if the Certificates were treated as equity interests in a partnership, described below. The following discussion assumes that the Certificates represent equity interests in a partnership.

    Indexed Securities, Etc.  The following discussion assumes that all payments on the Certificates are denominated in U.S. dollars, none of the Certificates are Indexed Securities or Strip Certificates, and that a series of Securities includes a single class of Certificates. If these conditions are not satisfied with respect to any given series of Certificates, additional tax considerations with respect to such Certificates will be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

    Partnership Taxation.  As a partnership, the Trust will not be subject to federal income tax. Rather, each Certificate Owner will be required to separately take into account that Certificate Owner's allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Trust. The Trust's income will consist primarily of interest and finance charges earned on the Receivables (including appropriate adjustments for market discount, OID and bond premium) and any gain upon collection or disposition of Receivables. The Trust's deductions will consist primarily of interest accruing with respect to the Notes, servicing and other fees, and losses or deductions upon collection or disposition of Receivables.

    The tax items of a partnership are allocable to the partners in accordance with the Code, Treasury regulations and the partnership agreement (here, the Trust Agreement and related documents). In the Trust Agreement, the Certificate Owners will agree that the yield on a Certificate is intended to qualify as a "guaranteed payment" and not as a distributive share of partnership income. A guaranteed payment would be treated by a Certificate Owner as ordinary income, but may well not be treated as interest income. The Trust Agreement will provide that, to the extent that such treatment is not respected, the Certificate Owners of each class of Certificates will be allocated taxable income of the

76


Owner Trust for each month equal to the sum of (i) the interest that accrues on the Certificates in accordance with their terms for such month, including interest accruing at the Pass Through Rate for such month and interest on amounts previously due on the Certificates but not yet paid; (ii) any Trust income attributable to discount on the Receivables that corresponds to any excess of the principal amount of the Certificates over their initial issue price; (iii) prepayment premium payable to the Certificate Owners for such month; and (iv) any other amounts of income payable to the Certificate Owners for such month. Such allocation will be reduced by any amortization by the Owner Trust of premium on Receivables that corresponds to any excess of the initial issue price of the Certificates over their initial principal amount. All remaining taxable income of the Owner Trust will be allocated to the Seller. Except as provided below, losses and deductions generally will be allocated to the Certificate Owners only to the extent the Certificate Owners are reasonably expected to bear the economic burden of such losses or deductions. Any losses allocated to Certificate Owners could be characterized as capital losses, and the Certificate Owners generally would only be able to deduct such losses against capital gains. Deductions allocated to the Certificate Owners would be subject to the limitations set forth below. Accordingly, a Certificate Owner's taxable income from the Trust could exceed the cash it is entitled to receive from the Trust.

    Based on the economic arrangement of the parties, this approach for allocating Trust income and loss should be permissible under applicable Treasury regulations, although no assurance can be given that the IRS would not require a greater amount of income to be allocated to Certificate Owners. Moreover, even under the foregoing method of allocation, Certificate Owners may be allocated income in an amount that is greater than the cash distributions made by the Trust. Thus, cash basis Certificate Owners will in effect be required to report income from the Certificates on the accrual basis and Certificate Owners may become liable for taxes on Trust income even if they have not received cash from the Trust sufficient to pay such taxes. In addition, because tax allocations and tax reporting will be done on a uniform basis for all Certificate Owners but Certificate Owners may be purchasing Certificates at different times and at different prices, Certificate Owners may be required to report on their tax returns taxable income that is greater or less than the amount reported to them by the Trust.

    For each taxable year of the Certificate Owner, the Certificate Owner will be required to report items of income, loss and deduction allocated to them by the Trust for the Trust's taxable year that ends on or before the last day of such taxable year of the Certificate Owner. The Code prescribes certain rules for determining the taxable year of the Owner Trust. Under these rules, in the event that all of the Certificate Owners possessing a 5 percent or greater interest in the equity or profits of the Trust share a taxable year that is other than the calendar year, the Trust would be required to use that year as its taxable year.

    A significant portion of the taxable income allocated to a Certificate Owner that is a pension, profit sharing or employee benefit plan or other tax-exempt entity (including an individual retirement account) generally will constitute "unrelated business taxable income" generally taxable to that Certificate Owner under the Code.

    An individual taxpayer's share of expenses of the Owner Trust (including fees to the Servicer but not interest expense) would be miscellaneous itemized deductions. Such deductions might be disallowed to the individual in whole or in part and might result in such Certificate Owner being taxed on an amount of income that exceeds the amount of cash actually paid to such Certificate Owner over the life of the Trust.

    The Owner Trust intends to make all tax calculations relating to income and allocations to Certificate Owners on an aggregate basis. If the IRS were to require that such calculations be made separately for each Receivable, the Trust might be required to incur additional expense but it is believed that there would not be a material adverse effect on Certificate Owners.

77


    Discount and Premium.  It is believed that the Receivables were not issued with OID, and, therefore, the Owner Trust should not have OID income. However, the purchase price paid by the Trust for the Receivables may be greater or less than the remaining principal balance of the Receivables at the time of purchase. If so, the Receivables will have been acquired at a premium or discount, as the case may be. (As indicated above, the Owner Trust will make this calculation on an aggregate basis, but might be required to recompute it on a Receivable-by-Receivable basis.)

    If the Owner Trust acquires the Receivables at a market discount or premium, the Trust will elect to include any such discount in income currently as it accrues over the life of the Receivables or to offset any such premium against interest income on the Receivables. As indicated above, a portion of such market discount income or premium deduction may be allocated to Certificate Owners.

    Section 708 Termination.  Under Section 708 of the Code, the Owner Trust will be deemed to terminate for federal income tax purposes if 50% or more of the capital and profits interests in the Trust are sold or exchanged within a 12-month period. If such a termination occurs, the Trust will be considered to transfer all of it assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership, after which the Trust would be deemed to distribute interests in the new partnership to Certificate Owners (including the purchasing partner who caused the termination) in liquidation of the terminated partnership. The Trust will not comply with certain technical requirements that might apply when such a constructive termination occurs. As a result, the Owner Trust may be subject to certain tax penalties and may incur additional expenses if it is required to comply with those requirements. Furthermore, the Trust might not be able to comply due to lack of data.

    Disposition of Certificates.  Generally, capital gain or loss will be recognized on a sale of a Certificate Owner's Certificates in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Certificate Owner's tax basis in the Certificates sold. A Certificate Owner's tax basis in a Certificate will generally equal the Certificate Owner's cost increased by the Certificate Owner's allocable share of Trust income and decreased by any payments received with respect to such Certificate. In addition, both the tax basis in the Certificates and the amount realized on a sale of a Certificate would include the Certificate Owner's share of the Notes and other liabilities of the Owner Trust. A Certificate Owner acquiring Certificates at different prices may be required to maintain a single aggregate adjusted tax basis in such Certificates, and, upon sale or other disposition of some of the Certificates, allocate a portion of such aggregate tax basis to the Certificates sold (rather than maintaining a separate tax basis in each Certificate for purposes of computing gain or loss on a sale of that Certificate).

    Any gain on the sale of a Certificate attributable to the Certificate Owner's share of unrecognized accrued market discount on the Receivables would generally be treated as ordinary income to the Certificate Owner and would give rise to special tax reporting requirements. The Trust does not expect to have any other assets that would give rise to such special reporting requirements. Thus, to avoid those special reporting requirements, the Owner Trust will elect to include market discount in income as it accrues.

    If a Certificate Owner is required to recognize an aggregate amount of income (not including income attributable to disallowed itemized deductions described above) over the life of the Certificates that exceeds the aggregate cash payments with respect thereto, such excess will generally give rise to a capital loss upon the retirement of the Certificates.

    Allocations Between Transferors and Transferees.  In general, the Owner Trust's taxable income and losses will be determined monthly and the tax items for a particular calendar month will be apportioned among the Certificate Owners in proportion to the principal amount of Certificates owned by them as of the close of the last day of such month. As a result, a Certificate Owner purchasing Certificates may be allocated tax items (which will affect its tax liability and tax basis) attributable to periods before the Certificate Owner actually owned the Certificates.

78


    The use of such a monthly convention may not be permitted by existing regulations. If a monthly convention is not allowed (or only applies to transfers of less than all of the partner's interest), taxable income or losses of the Owner Trust might be reallocated among the Certificate Owners. The Seller is authorized to revise the Owner Trust's method of allocation between transferors and transferees to conform to a method permitted by future regulations.

    Section 754 Election.  In the event that a Certificate Owner sells its Certificates at a profit (or loss), the purchasing Certificate Owner will have a higher (or lower) basis, respectively, in the Certificates than the selling Certificate Owner had. The tax basis of the Owner Trust's assets will not be adjusted to reflect that higher (or lower) basis unless the Trust were to make an election under Section 754 of the Code. In order to avoid the administrative complexities that would be involved in keeping accurate accounting records, as well as potentially onerous information reporting requirements, the Trust will not make such election. As a result, Certificate Owners might be allocated a greater or lesser amount of Trust income than would be appropriate based on their own purchase price for Certificates.

    Administrative Matters.  The Owner Trustee is required to keep or have kept complete and accurate books of the Owner Trust. Such books will be maintained for financial reporting and tax purposes on an accrual basis and the fiscal year of the Trust will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement. The Trustee will file a partnership information return (IRS Form 1065) with the IRS for each taxable year of the Trust during which the Trust is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and for each such taxable year will report each Certificate Owner's allocable share of items of Trust income and expense to Certificate Owners and the IRS on Schedule K-1. The Trust will provide the Schedule K-1 information to nominees that fail to provide the Trust with the information statement described below and such nominees will be required to forward such information to the Certificate Owners. Generally, Certificate Owners must file tax returns that are consistent with the information return filed by the Trust or be subject to penalties unless the Certificate Owner timely notifies the IRS of all such inconsistencies.

    Under Section 6031 of the Code, any person that holds Certificates as a nominee at any time during a calendar year is required to furnish the Owner Trust with a statement containing certain information on the nominee, the Certificate Owners and the Certificates so held. Such information includes (i) the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the nominee and (ii) as to each Certificate Owner (x) the name, address and identification number of such person, (y) whether such person is a U.S. Person, a tax-exempt entity or a foreign government, an international organization, or any wholly-owned agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, and (z) certain information on Certificates that were held, bought or sold on behalf of such person throughout the year. In addition, brokers and financial institutions that hold Certificates through a nominee are required to furnish directly to the Trust information as to themselves and their ownership of Certificates. A clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not required to furnish any such information statement to the Trust. The information referred to above for any calendar year must be furnished to the Trust on or before the following January 31. Nominees, brokers and financial institutions that fail to provide the Trust with the information described above may be subject to penalties.

    The Seller will be designated as the tax matters partner in the related Trust Agreement and, as such, is designated to receive notice on behalf of, and to provide notice to those Certificate Owners not receiving notice from, the IRS, and to represent the Certificate Owners in certain disputes with the IRS. The Code provides for administrative examination of a partnership as if the partnership were a separate and distinct taxpayer. Generally, the statute of limitations for partnership items does not expire before three years after the date on which the partnership information return is filed. Any adverse determination following an audit of the return of the Owner Trust by the appropriate taxing authorities could result in an adjustment of the returns of the Certificate Owners, and, under certain circumstances, a Certificate Owner may be precluded from separately litigating a proposed adjustment

79


to the items of the Owner Trust. As the tax matters partner, the Seller may enter into a binding settlement on behalf of all Certificate Owners with a less than 1 percent interest in the Trust (except for any group of such Certificate Owners with an aggregate interest of 5 percent or more in Trust profits that elects to form a notice group or Certificate Owners who otherwise notify the IRS that the Seller is not authorized to settle on their behalf). In the absence of a proceeding at the Trust level, a Certificate Owner under certain circumstances may pursue a claim for credit or refund on his own behalf by filing a request for administrative adjustment of a Trust item. Each Certificate Owner is advised to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the impact of these procedures on its particular case. An adjustment could also result in an audit of a Certificate Owner's returns and adjustments of items not related to the income and losses of the Trust.

    Tax Consequences to Foreign Certificate Owners.  It is not clear whether the Trust would be considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for purposes of federal withholding taxes with respect to Certificate Owners that are not U.S. Persons ("Foreign Certificate Owners") because there is no clear authority dealing with that issue under facts substantially similar to those described in this Prospectus. Although it is not expected that the Owner Trust would be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for such purposes, the Trust will withhold as if it were so engaged in order to protect the Trust from possible adverse consequences of a failure to withhold. The Trust expects to withhold on the portion of its taxable income that is allocable to Foreign Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code, as if such income were effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business, at the highest corporate rate for Foreign Certificate Owners that are taxable as corporations and the highest individual rate for all other Foreign Certificate Owners. Subsequent adoption of Treasury regulations or the issuance of other administrative pronouncements may require the Trust to change its withholding procedures. In determining a Certificate Owner's withholding status, the Trust may rely on IRS Form W-8BEN or successor form, IRS Form W-9 or the Certificate Owner's certification of nonforeign status signed under penalties of perjury.

    Each Foreign Certificate Owner may be required to file a U.S. individual or corporate income tax return (including, in the case of a corporation, the branch profits tax) on its share of the Owner Trust's income. Each Foreign Certificate Owner must obtain a taxpayer identification number from the IRS and submit that number to the Trust on Form W-8BEN in order to assure appropriate crediting of the taxes withheld. A Foreign Certificate Owner generally would be entitled to file with the IRS a claim for refund with respect to taxes withheld by the Trust, taking the position that no taxes were due because the Trust was not engaged in a U.S. trade or business. However, interest payments made (or accrued) to a Foreign Certificate Owner generally will be considered guaranteed payments to the extent such payments are determined without regard to the income of the Trust. If these interest payments are properly characterized as guaranteed payments, then the interest will not be considered "portfolio interest", in which case Foreign Certificate Owners would be subject to United States federal income tax and withholding tax at a rate of 30 percent, unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable treaty. In such case, a Foreign Certificate Owner would only be entitled to claim a refund for that portion of the taxes, if any, in excess of the taxes that should be withheld with respect to the guaranteed payments.

    Backup Withholding.  Payments made on the Certificates and proceeds from the sale of the Certificates will be subject to a "backup" withholding tax if, in general, the Certificate Owner fails to comply with certain identification procedures, unless the holder is an exempt recipient under applicable provisions of the Code. See "Tax Consequences to Owners of the Notes—Backup Withholding."

Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts

    Tax Characterization of The Trust

    The following general discussion of the anticipated federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Certificates of a Trust denominated a "grantor trust" in the applicable prospectus supplement (a "Grantor Trust"), to the extent it relates to matters of law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, represents the opinion of Tax Counsel to each Grantor Trust with respect to the related series on the material matters associated with such consequences, subject to the qualifications set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, Tax Counsel has prepared or reviewed the statements in this Prospectus under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts", and is of the opinion that such statements are correct in all material respects. Those statements are intended as an explanatory discussion of the possible effects of the classification of any Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes on investors generally and of related tax matters affecting investors generally, but do not purport to furnish information in the level of detail or with the attention to an investor's specific tax circumstances that would be provided by an investor's own tax advisor. Accordingly, it is suggested that each investor consult its own tax advisor with regard to the tax consequences to it of investing in Certificates of a Grantor Trust ("Grantor Trust Certificates").

    Tax Counsel will deliver its opinion that the Grantor Trust will be classified as a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code. In this case, beneficial owners of Grantor Trust Certificates (referred to herein as "Grantor Trust Certificateholders") could be considered to own either (i) an undivided interest in a single debt obligation held by the Grantor Trust and having a principal amount equal to the total stated principal amount of the Receivables and an interest rate equal to the relevant Pass Through Rate or (ii) an interest in each of the Receivables and any other Trust property.

    The determination of whether the economic substance of a property transfer is a sale or a loan secured by the transferred property has been made by the IRS and the courts on the basis of numerous factors designed to determine whether the transferor has relinquished (and the transferee has obtained) substantial incidents of ownership in the property. Among those factors, the primary factors examined are whether the transferee has the opportunity to gain if the property increases in value, and has the risk of loss if the property decreases in value.

    The relevant pooling and servicing agreement will express the intent of the Seller to sell, and the Grantor Trust Certificateholders to purchase, the Receivables, and the Seller and each Grantor Trust Certificateholder, by accepting a beneficial interest in a Grantor Trust Certificate, will agree to treat the Grantor Trust Certificates as ownership interests in the Receivables and any other Trust property.

    Treatment as Debt Obligation.  If a Grantor Trust Certificateholder was considered to own an undivided interest in a single debt obligation, the principles described under "Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts—Tax Consequences to Owners of the Notes" would apply. Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder, rather than reporting its share of the interest accrued on each Receivable, would, in general, be required to include in income interest accrued or received on the principal amount of the Grantor Trust Certificates at the relevant Pass Through Rate in accordance with its usual method of accounting.

    The Grantor Trust Certificates would be subject to the OID rules, described below under "Stripped Bonds and Stripped Coupons—Original Issue Discount." In determining whether such OID is de minimis, the weighted average life of the Grantor Trust Certificates would be determined using a Prepayment Assumption. OID includible in income for any accrual period (generally, the period between payment dates) would generally be calculated using a Prepayment Assumption and an anticipated yield established as of the date of initial sale of the Grantor Trust Certificates, and would increase or decrease to reflect prepayments at a faster or slower rate than anticipated. The Grantor Trust Certificates would also be subject to the market discount provisions of the Code to the extent that a Grantor Trust Certificateholder purchased such Certificates at a discount from the initial issue price (as adjusted to reflect prior accruals of OID).

81


    The remainder of the discussion herein assumes that a Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be treated as owning an interest in each Receivable (and the proceeds therefrom) and any other Trust property, although for administrative convenience, the Servicer will report information on an aggregate basis (as though all of the Receivables were a single obligation). The amount, and in some instances, character, of the income reported to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder may differ under this method for a particular period from that which would be reported on a precise asset-by-asset basis.

    Characterization.  Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be treated as the owner of a pro rata undivided interest in the interest and principal portions of the Trust represented by the Grantor Trust Certificates and will be considered the equitable owner of a pro rata undivided interest in each of the Receivables in the Grantor Trust. Any amounts received by a Grantor Trust Certificateholder in lieu of amounts due with respect to any Receivable because of a default or delinquency in payment will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having the same character as the payments they replace.

    Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be required to report on its federal income tax return in accordance with such Grantor Trust Certificateholder's method of accounting its pro rata share of the entire income from the Receivables in the Trust represented by Grantor Trust Certificates, including interest, OID, if any, prepayment fees, assumption fees, any gain recognized upon an assumption, late payment charges received by the Servicer and any gain recognized upon collection or disposition of the Receivables. Under Sections 162 or 212 of the Code, each Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be entitled to deduct its pro rata share of servicing fees, prepayment fees, assumption fees, any loss recognized upon an assumption and late payment charges retained by the Servicer, provided that such amounts are reasonable compensation for services rendered to the Trust. Grantor Trust Certificateholders that are individuals, estates or trusts will be entitled to deduct their share of expenses only to the extent such expenses plus all other Code Section 212 expenses exceed two percent of its adjusted gross income.

    A Grantor Trust Certificateholder using the cash method of accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions as and when collected by or paid to the Servicer. A Grantor Trust Certificateholder using an accrual method of accounting must take into account its pro rata share of income and deductions as they become due or are paid to the Servicer, whichever is earlier. Because (1) interest accrues on the Receivables over differing monthly periods and is paid in arrears and (2) interest collected on a Receivable generally is paid Grantor Trust Certificateholders in the following month, the amount of interest accruing to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder during any calendar month will not equal the interest distributed in that month. If the servicing fees paid to the Servicer are deemed to exceed reasonable servicing compensation, the amount of such excess could be considered as an ownership interest retained by the Servicer (or any person to whom the Servicer assigned for value all or a portion of the servicing fees) in a portion of the interest payments on the Receivables. The Receivables would then be subject to the "stripped bond" and "coupon stripping" rules of the Code discussed below.

    Discount and Premium.  In determining whether a Grantor Trust Certificateholder has purchased its interest in the Receivables (or any Receivable) held by the related Trust at a discount or premium and whether the Receivables (or any Receivable) have OID, market discount, or amortizable premium, a portion of the purchase price of a Certificate should be allocated to the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's undivided interest in accrued but unpaid interest, and amounts collected at the time of purchase but not distributed. As a result, the portion of the purchase price allocable to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder's undivided interest in the Receivables (or any Receivable) will be increased or decreased, as applicable, and the potential OID, market discount, or amortizable premium on the Receivables (or any Receivable) could be increased or decreased accordingly.

    Premium. A Grantor Trust Certificateholder that acquires an interest in Receivables at a premium over the "stated redemption price at maturity" of the Receivables may elect to amortize that premium

82


under a constant interest method. Amortizable bond premium will be treated as an offset to interest income on that Grantor Trust Certificate. The basis for that Grantor Trust Certificate will be reduced to the extent that amortizable premium is applied to offset interest payments. It is not clear whether a reasonable prepayment assumption should be used in computing amortization of premium allowable under Section 171. With some exceptions, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder that makes this election for a Grantor Trust Certificate that is acquired at a premium will be deemed to have made an election to amortize bond premium with respect to all debt instruments having amortizable bond premium that the Grantor Trust Certificateholder holds during the year of the election or thereafter. Absent an election to amortize bond premium, the premium will be deductible as an ordinary loss upon disposition of the Certificate or pro rata as principal is paid on the Receivables.

    If a premium is not subject to amortization using a reasonable prepayment assumption, the holder of a Grantor Trust Certificate acquired at a premium should recognize a loss if a Receivable prepays in full, equal to the difference between the portion of the prepaid principal amount of such Receivable that is allocable to the Grantor Trust Certificate and the portion of the adjusted basis of the Grantor Trust Certificate that is allocable to such Receivable. If a reasonable prepayment assumption is used to amortize such premium, it appears that such a loss would be available, if at all, only if prepayments have occurred at a rate faster than the Prepayment Assumption rate. It is not clear whether any other adjustments would be required to reflect differences between the Prepayment Assumption rate and the actual rate of prepayments.

    Stripped Bonds and Stripped Coupons.  Although the tax treatment of stripped bonds is not entirely clear, based on recent guidance from the IRS, each purchaser of a Grantor Trust Certificate will be treated as the purchaser of a stripped bond which generally should be treated as a single debt instrument issued on the day it is purchased for purposes of calculating any original issue discount. Generally, under applicable Treasury regulations (the "Section 1286 Treasury Regulations"), if the discount on a stripped bond is larger than a de minimis amount (as calculated for purposes of the OID rules of the Code), such stripped bond will be considered to have been issued with OID. See "Original Issue Discount." Based on the preamble to the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations, Tax Counsel is of the opinion that, although the matter is not entirely clear, the interest income on the Certificates at the sum of the Pass Through Rate and the portion of the total Servicing Fee Rate that does not constitute excess servicing will be treated as "qualified stated interest" within the meaning of the Section 1286 Treasury Regulations, and such income will be so treated by the Trust for tax information reporting purposes.

    Original Issue Discount.  The IRS has stated in published rulings that, in circumstances similar to those described herein, the special rules of the Code relating to "original issue discount" (currently Code Sections 1271 through 1275) will be applicable to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder's interest in those Receivables meeting the conditions necessary for these sections to apply. Generally, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder that acquires an undivided interest in a Receivable issued or acquired with OID must include in gross income the sum of the "daily portions," as defined below, of the OID on such Receivable for each day on which it owns a Grantor Trust Certificate, including the date of purchase but excluding the date of disposition. In the case of an original Grantor Trust Certificateholder, the daily portions of OID with respect to a Receivable generally would be determined as follows. A calculation will be made of the portion of OID that accrues on the Receivable during each successive monthly accrual period (or shorter period in respect of the date of original issue or the final Payment Date). This will be done, in the case of each full monthly accrual period, by adding (i) the present value of all remaining payments to be received on the Receivable under the Prepayment Assumption used in respect of the Receivables and (ii) any payments received during such accrual period, and subtracting from that total the "adjusted issue price" of the Receivable at the beginning of such accrual period. No representation is made that the Receivables will prepay at any prepayment assumption. The "adjusted issue price" of a Receivable at the beginning of the first accrual period is its issue price (as

83


determined for purposes of the OID rules of the Code) and the "adjusted issue price" of a Receivable at the beginning of a subsequent accrual period is the "adjusted issue price" at the beginning of the immediately preceding accrual period plus the amount of OID allocable to that accrual period and reduced by the amount of any payment (other than "qualified stated interest") made at the end of or during that accrual period. The OID accruing during such accrual period will then be divided by the number of days in the period to determine the daily portion of OID for each day in the period. With respect to an initial accrual period shorter than a full monthly accrual period, the daily portions of OID must be determined according to a reasonable method, provided that such method is consistent with the method used to determine the yield to maturity of the Receivables.

    With respect to the Receivables, the method of calculating OID as described above will cause the accrual of OID to either increase or decrease (but never below zero) in any given accrual period to reflect the fact that prepayments are occurring at a faster or slower rate than the prepayment assumption used in respect of the Receivables. Subsequent purchasers that purchase Receivables at more than a de minimis discount should consult their tax advisors with respect to the proper method to accrue such OID.

    Market Discount. A Grantor Trust Certificateholder that acquires an undivided interest in Receivables may be subject to the market discount rules of Code Sections 1276 through 1278 to the extent an undivided interest in a Receivable is considered to have been purchased at a "market discount." Generally, the amount of market discount is equal to the excess of the portion of the principal amount of such Receivable allocable to such Certificateholder's undivided interest over such Certificateholder's tax basis in such interest. Market discount with respect to a Grantor Trust Certificate will be considered to be zero if the amount allocable to the Grantor Trust Certificate is less than 0.25% of the Grantor Trust Certificate's stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the weighted average maturity remaining after the date of purchase. Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet been issued; therefore, investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules and the advisability of making any of the elections allowed under Code Sections 1276 through 1278.

    The Code provides that any principal payment (whether a scheduled payment or a prepayment) or any gain on disposition of a market discount bond shall be treated as ordinary income to the extent that it does not exceed the accrued market discount at the time of such payment. The amount of accrued market discount for purposes of determining the tax treatment of subsequent principal payments or dispositions of the market discount bond is to be reduced by the amount so treated as ordinary income.

    The Code also grants the Treasury Department authority to issue regulations providing for the computation of accrued market discount on debt instruments, the principal of which is payable in more than one installment. While the Treasury Department has not yet issued regulations, rules described in the relevant legislative history will apply. Under those rules, the holder of a market discount bond may elect to accrue market discount either on the basis of a constant interest rate or according to one of the following methods. If a Grantor Trust Certificate is issued with OID, the amount of market discount that accrues during any accrual period would be equal to the product of (i) the total remaining market discount and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the OID accruing during the period and the denominator of which is the total remaining OID at the beginning of the accrual period. For Grantor Trust Certificates issued without OID, the amount of market discount that accrues during a period is equal to the product of (i) the total remaining market discount and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of stated interest paid during the accrual period and the denominator of which is the total amount of stated interest remaining to be paid at the beginning of the accrual period. For purposes of calculating market discount under any of the above methods in the case of instruments (such as the Grantor Trust Certificates) that provide for payments that may be accelerated by reason of prepayments of other obligations securing such instruments, the same

84


prepayment assumption applicable to calculating the accrual of OID will apply. Because the regulations described above have not been issued, it is impossible to predict what effect those regulations might have on the tax treatment of a Grantor Trust Certificate purchased at a discount or premium in the secondary market.

    A Grantor Trust Certificateholder who acquired a Grantor Trust Certificate at a market discount also may be required to defer a portion of its interest deductions for the taxable year attributable to any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry such Grantor Trust Certificate purchased with market discount. For these purposes, the de minimis rule referred to above applies. Any such deferred interest expense would not exceed the market discount that accrues during such taxable year and is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later than the year in which such market discount is includible in income. If such Grantor Trust Certificateholder elects to include market discount in income currently as it accrues on all market discount instruments acquired by such Grantor Trust Certificateholder in that taxable year or thereafter, the interest deferral rule described above will not apply.

    Election to Treat All Interest as OID.  The OID Regulations permit a Grantor Trust Certificateholder to elect to accrue all interest, discount (including de minimis market or original issue discount) and premium in income as interest, based on a constant yield method. If such an election were to be made with respect to a Grantor Trust Certificate with market discount, the Certificateholder would be deemed to have made an election to include in income currently market discount with respect to all other debt instruments having market discount that such Grantor Trust Certificateholder acquires during the year of the election or thereafter. Similarly, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder that makes this election for a Grantor Trust Certificate that is acquired at a premium will be deemed to have made an election to amortize bond premium with respect to all debt instruments having amortizable bond premium that such Grantor Trust Certificateholder owns or acquires. See "—Premium" herein. The election to accrue interest, discount and premium on a constant yield method with respect to a Grantor Trust Certificate is irrevocable except with the approval of the IRS.

    Sale or Exchange of a Grantor Trust Certificate.  The sale or exchange of a Grantor Trust Certificate prior to its maturity will result in gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's adjusted basis in the Grantor Trust Certificate. Such adjusted basis generally will equal the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's purchase price for the Grantor Trust Certificate, increased by the OID included in the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's gross income with respect to the Grantor Trust Certificate, and reduced by principal payments on the Grantor Trust Certificate previously received by the seller. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss to an owner for which a Grantor Trust Certificate is a "capital asset" within the meaning of Code Section 1221, and will be long-term or short-term depending on whether the Grantor Trust Certificate has been owned for the long-term capital gain holding period (currently more than one year).

    Grantor Trust Certificates will be "evidences of indebtedness" within the meaning of Code Section 582(c)(1), so that gain or loss recognized from the sale of a Grantor Trust Certificate by a bank or a thrift institution to which such section applies will be treated as ordinary income or loss.

    Foreign Persons.  Generally, interest paid or OID accrued to (i) a Grantor Trust Certificateholder that is not a U.S. Person (as defined herein) (a "Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder") or (ii) a Grantor Trust Certificateholder holding on behalf of a Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder, as well as accrued OID recognized by a Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder on the sale or exchange of such a Grantor Trust Certificate, will not be subject to withholding to the extent that a Grantor Trust Certificate evidences ownership in Receivables issued after July 18, 1984 by natural persons if such Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder complies with certain identification requirements (including delivery of a statement, signed by the Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder under penalties of

85


perjury, certifying that such Foreign Grantor Trust Certificateholder is not a U.S. Person and providing the name and address of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder). Additional restrictions apply to Receivables where the obligor is not a natural person in order to qualify for the exemption from withholding.

    Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.  The Servicer will furnish or make available, within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, to each person who was a Grantor Trust Certificateholder at any time during such year, such information as may be deemed necessary or desirable to assist Grantor Trust Certificateholders in preparing their federal income tax returns, or to enable holders to make such information available to beneficial owners or financial intermediaries that hold Grantor Trust Certificates as nominees on behalf of beneficial owners. If a holder, beneficial owner, financial intermediary or other recipient of a payment on behalf of a Grantor Trust Certificateholder fails to supply a certified taxpayer identification number or if the Secretary of the Treasury determines that such person has not reported all interest and dividend income required to be shown on its federal income tax return, backup withholding may be required with respect to any payments. Any amounts deducted and withheld from a payment to a recipient would be allowed as a credit against such recipient's federal income tax liability.


CERTAIN STATE TAX CONSEQUENCES

Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts

    The activities to be undertaken by the Servicer in servicing and collecting the Receivables will take place in California. The State of California imposes a state individual income tax and a corporate franchise tax on corporations, partnerships and other entities doing business in the State of California. This discussion relates only to Owner Trusts, and is based upon present provisions of California statutes and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable judicial or ruling authority, all of which are subject to change, which change may be retroactive.

    Because of the variation in each state's tax laws based in whole or in part upon income, it is impossible to predict tax consequences to Note Owners and Certificate Owners in all of the state taxing jurisdictions in which they are already subject to tax. Note Owners and Certificate Owners are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to state tax consequences arising out of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Notes and Certificates.

    For purposes of the following summary, references to the Trust, the Notes, the Certificates and related terms, parties and documents shall be deemed to refer, unless otherwise specified herein, to each Owner Trust and the Notes, Certificates and related terms, parties and documents applicable to such Trust.

    Tax Treatment of the Trust

    Based on regulations issued by the Franchise Tax Board with respect to the California tax characterization of an Owner Trust as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation or other taxable entity, Tax Counsel will opine that an Owner Trust will not be an association (or publicly traded partnership) treated as a corporation for California tax purposes. In such case, the resulting constructive partnership should not be treated as doing business in California but rather should be viewed as a passive holder of investments and, as a result, should not be subject to the California franchise tax (which, if applicable, could possibly result in reduced payments to Certificate Owners).

86


    Tax Consequences With Respect to the Notes

    Note Owners not otherwise subject to taxation in California should not become subject to taxation in California solely because of a Note Owner's ownership of Notes. However, a Note Owner already subject to California's income tax or franchise tax could be required to pay additional California tax as a result of the Note Owner's ownership or disposition of Notes.

    Tax Consequences With Respect to the Certificates

    Under current law, Certificate Owners that are nonresidents of California and are not otherwise subject to California income tax may be subject to California income tax on the income from the constructive partnership. In any event, classification of the arrangement as a "partnership" would not cause a Certificate Owner not otherwise subject to taxation in California to pay California tax on income beyond that derived from the Certificates.

    It is not clear whether the Trust would be considered to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for purposes of California withholding taxes with respect to Foreign Owners because there is no clear authority dealing with that issue under facts substantially similar to those described in this Prospectus. Although it is not expected that the Trust would be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for those purposes, the Trust will withhold on amounts paid to Certificate Owners who are Foreign Owners as if it were so engaged in order to protect the Trust from possible adverse consequences of a failure to withhold. The Trust expects to withhold on the portion of its taxable income from California sources that is allocable to Certificate Owners who are Foreign Owners pursuant to Section 18666 of California's Revenue and Taxation Code, as if that income were effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business, at the maximum appropriate rate.

    If the Certificates are instead treated as ownership interests in an association taxable as a corporation or a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation, then the hypothetical entity should not be subject to the California franchise tax (which, if applicable, could result in reduced payments to Certificate Owners). A Certificate Owner not otherwise subject to tax in California would not become subject to California tax as a result of its mere ownership of such an interest.

    Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts

    It is expected that Tax Counsel will advise each Grantor Trust that the Trust will be treated as a grantor trust for California tax purposes, and that, for California tax purposes, beneficial owners of Grantor Trust Certificates ("Grantor Trust Certificateholders") could be considered to own either (1) an undivided interest in a single debt obligation held by the Trust and having a principal amount equal to the total stated principal amount of the Receivables and an interest rate equal to the related Pass Through Rate or (2) an interest in each of the Receivables and any other Trust assets.

    It is suggested that Grantor Trust Certificateholders consult their tax advisors regarding the state tax consequences associated with the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Grantor Trust Certificates.

    The federal and state tax discussions set forth above are included for general information only and may not be applicable depending upon your particular tax situation. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes and certificates, including the tax consequences under state, local, foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.


ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

    Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan, as well as

87


individual retirement accounts and certain types of Keogh Plans (each a "Benefit Plan"), from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons that are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to such Benefit Plan. ERISA also imposes certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of Benefit Plans subject to ERISA and prohibits certain transactions between a Benefit Plan and parties in interest with respect to such Benefit Plans. Under ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of a Benefit Plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such Benefit Plan (subject to certain exceptions not here relevant). A violation of these "prohibited transaction" rules may result in an excise tax or other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code for such persons.

    Certain transactions involving a Trust might be deemed to constitute prohibited transactions under ERISA and the Code with respect to a Benefit Plan that purchased Notes or Certificates if assets of the Trust were deemed to be assets of the Benefit Plan. Under a regulation issued by the United States Department of Labor (the "Plan Assets Regulation"), the assets of a Trust would be treated as plan assets of a Benefit Plan for the purposes of ERISA and the Code only if the Benefit Plan acquired an "equity interest" in the Trust and none of the exceptions contained in the Plan Assets Regulation was applicable. An equity interest is defined under the Plan Assets Regulation as an interest other than an instrument which is treated as indebtedness under applicable local law and which has no substantial equity features. The likely treatment in this context of Notes and Certificates of a given series will be discussed in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements nor to Section 4975 of the Code. However, governmental plans may be subject to state or local laws that impose similar requirements. In addition, governmental plans and church plans that are "qualified" under Section 401(a) of the code are subject to restrictions with respect to prohibited transactions under Section 503(a)(1)(B) of the Code, the sanction for violation being loss of "qualified" status.

    Due to the complexities of the "prohibited transaction" rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is important that the fiduciary of any Benefit Plan considering the purchase of Securities consult with its tax and/or legal advisors regarding whether the assets of the related Trust would be considered plan assets, the possibility of exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules and other issues and their potential consequences.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    On the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement with respect to the Notes, if any, of a given series and an underwriting agreement with respect to the Certificates of such series (collectively, the "Underwriting Agreements"), the Seller will agree to cause the related Trust to sell to the underwriters named therein and in the related Prospectus Supplement, and each of such underwriters will severally agree to purchase, the principal amount of each class of Notes and Certificates, as the case may be, of the related series set forth therein and in the related Prospectus Supplement.

    In each of the Underwriting Agreements with respect to any given series of Securities, the several underwriters will agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all the Notes and Certificates, as the case may be, described therein which are offered hereby and by the related Prospectus Supplement if any of such Notes and Certificates, as the case may be, are purchased.

    Each Prospectus Supplement will either (i) set forth the price at which each class of Notes and Certificates, as the case may be, being offered thereby will be offered to the public and any concessions that may be offered to certain dealers participating in the offering of such Notes and Certificates or (ii) specify that the related Notes and Certificates, as the case may be, are to be resold by the underwriters in negotiated transactions at varying prices to be determined at the time of such sale.

88


After the initial public offering of any such Notes and Certificates, such public offering prices and such concessions may be changed.

    Each Underwriting Agreement will provide that TMCC and the Seller will indemnify the underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the several underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

    Each Trust may, from time to time, invest the funds in its Trust Accounts in Eligible Investments acquired from such underwriters or from the Seller.

    Pursuant to each Underwriting Agreement with respect to a given series of Securities, the closing of the sale of any class of Securities subject to such Underwriting Agreement will be conditioned on the closing of the sale of all other such classes of Securities of that series.

    The place and time of delivery for the Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered will be set forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.


LEGAL OPINIONS

    Certain legal matters relating to the Securities of any series will be passed upon for the related Trust, the Seller and the Servicer by O'Melveny & Myers LLP. In addition, certain United States federal and California state tax and other matters will be passed upon for the related Trust by O'Melveny & Myers LLP.


EXPERTS

    If the Trust invests in demand notes issued by TMCC, the financial statements of TMCC included in TMCC's Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six month period ended March 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 of TMCC will be incorporated by reference herein in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

    If the Trust does not invest in demand notes issued by TMCC, the financial statements and unaudited financial information of TMCC will not be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. In such an event, neither PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP nor TMCC will be subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of the Securities Act for the financial statements appearing in TMCC's Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six month period ended March 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 or for PricewaterhouseCoopers' reports on the unaudited consolidated financial information of TMCC because those financial statements and reports are not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement.

the trust will not be characterized as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income and California income and franchise tax purposes

S–6



 

 

If you purchase the notes, you will agree to treat the notes as debt. If you purchase certificates, you will agree to treat the trust (1) as a partnership in which the certificateholders are partners or (2) if you are the sole beneficial owner of the certificates, as a "disregarded entity," for federal income and California income and franchise tax purposes.

If you are a benefit plan fiduciary considering purchase of the Securities, you should, among other things, consult with your counsel in determining whether all required conditions have been satisfied.
 
[Eligibility for Purchase by Money Market Funds

 

The Class A-1 Notes will be eligible securities for purchase by money market funds under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.]
 
Ratings

 

It is a condition to the issuance of the securities that:

 

 


 

the Class A Notes must be rated "AAA" by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. and at least "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.; and

 

 


 

the Certificates must be rated at least "  " by Standard & Poor's and at least "  " by Moody's.

 

 

[The ratings of the [Class   ] Notes take into account the provisions of the swap agreement and the ratings currently assigned to the debt obligations of the swap counterparty. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of any rating of the debt of the swap counterparty may result in the downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any [Class   ] Notes.]

For more information concerning risks associated with the swap agreement, see "Risk Factors—Potential termination of the swap agreement presents swap coutnerparty risk, risk of prepayment of the notes and risk of loss upon liquidation of the trust assets" in this prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus.]

 

 

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. The ratings of the securities address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest on the securities in accordance with their terms. Either rating agency may subsequently lower or withdraw its rating of the securities. If this happens, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any additional credit enhancement for the securities. The trust will obtain the ratings mentioned above from by Standard and Poor's ratings services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. However, another rating agency may rate the certificates and, if so, the rating may be lower than the ratings described above.

Overview

 

[Chart depicting the transfer of receivables from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to seller in exchange for the cash net proceeds of the offering and the subordinated non-recourse promissory note; the transfer of receivables from the seller to the trust in exchange for the securities; and the issuance of the securities to investors in exchange for the proceeds.]
 
Assets of the Trust

 

Purchasers of Toyota and Lexus cars and light duty trucks often finance their purchases by entering into retail installment sales contracts with Toyota and Lexus dealers who then resell the contracts to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. The purchasers of the vehicles are referred to as the "obligors" under the contracts. Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC will purchase a specified amount of these contracts from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and on the closing date will sell them to the trust in exchange for the securities. These contracts are referred to as "receivables". The receivables will have a total outstanding principal balance of $            as of            , the cutoff date. [During the revolving period, the trust will utilize principal collections to purchase additional such receivables.]

S–8



 

 

Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC will sell the notes [and certificates] to investors for cash, and will use this cash to pay part of the purchase price for its purchase of the receivables. The chart above represents the flow of funds provided by investors for the securities and the receivables sold by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation.

 

 

On the closing date, the trust will purchase receivables having the following characteristics as of the cutoff date:

The assets of the trust will also include:

 

 


 

certain monies due or received under the receivables on and after the cutoff date;

 

 


 

security interests in the vehicles financed under the receivables;

 

 


 

certain bank accounts and the proceeds of those accounts; and

 

 


 

proceeds from claims under certain insurance policies relating to the financed vehicles or the obligors under the receivables and certain rights of the seller under the receivables purchase agreement.

 

 


 

[proceeds of the swap agreement and the rights of the trust under the swap agreement.]

 

 


 

[proceeds of the draws on amounts available under the revolving liquidity note.]

Servicing

 

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will be appointed to act as servicer for the receivables owned by the trust. The servicer will handle all collections, administer defaults and delinquencies and otherwise service the receivables. On each payment date, the trust will pay the servicer a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.00% of the total principal balance of the receivables as of the first day of the related collection period. The servicer will also receive additional servicing compensation in the form of investment earnings, late fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges received by the servicer during such month.

 

 

The servicer will be obligated to advance to the trust interest on any receivable that is due but unpaid by the obligor. In addition, the servicer will be obligated to advance to the trust principal that is due but unpaid by the obligor on any receivables that are classified as precomputed receivables (but not on any that are classified as simple interest receivables). However, the servicer will not be required to make an advance if it determines that the advance will not ultimately be recoverable. The trust will reimburse the servicer from later collections on the related delinquent receivable. If the servicer determines that the advance will not ultimately be recoverable from later collections on the related delinquent receivable, the trust may also reimburse the servicer from collections on other receivables.

 

 

For more detailed information, you should refer to "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the accompanying Prospectus and to "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Advances" in this Prospectus Supplement.
 
Interest and Principal Payments

 

In general, noteholders are entitled to receive payments of interest and principal from the trust only to the extent that collections on the receivables, advances and amounts on deposit in the reserve account (and available for those purposes) are sufficient to make the payments described below in the order of priority described below.

                                      

 

A. Interest Rates

                                      

 

The Class A Notes will bear interest for each interest accrual period at the fixed annual interest rates specified on the cover of this prospectus supplement.

S–10



                                      

 

B. Interest Accrual

                                      

 

[The Class   and Class   Notes will accrue interest on an actual/360 basis from (and including) a payment date to (but excluding) the next payment date, except that the first interest accrual period will be from (and including) the closing date to (but excluding)            . This means that the interest due on each payment date will be the product of: (i) the outstanding principal balance, (ii) the interest rate, and (iii) the actual number of days since the previous payment date (or, in the case of the first payment date, since the closing date) divided by 360. The Class   and Class   Notes will continue to accrue interest at their respective floating rates even if the swap is terminated.]

                                      

 

[The Class   and Class   Notes will accrue interest on a 30/360 basis from (and including) the 15th day of each calendar month to (but excluding) the 15th day of the succeeding calendar month except that the first interest accrual period will be from (and including) the closing date to (but excluding)            . This means that the interest due on each payment date will be the product of: (i) the outstanding principal balance, (ii) the interest rate, and (iii) 30 (or, in the case of the first payment date,      ) divided by 360.]

                                      

 

If noteholders of any class do not receive all interest owed on their notes on any payment date, the trust will make payments of interest on later payment dates to make up the shortfall (together with interest on such amounts at the applicable interest rate for such class, to the extent permitted by law) to the extent funds are available to do so pursuant to the payment priorities described in this prospectus supplement. If the full amount of interest due is not paid within five days of a payment date, an event of default also will occur that may result in acceleration of the notes.

                                      

 

For a more detailed description of the payment of interest on the notes you should refer to the sections of this Prospectus Supplement entitled "Description of the Notes—Payments of Interest" and "Payments to Noteholders".

S–11



                                      

 

C. Payment Priorities

                                      

 

[In general, Noteholders are entitled to receive payments of interest and principal from the trust only to the extent that net collections on the receivables, giving effect to any net swap payments to or by the trust (including any swap termination payment), advances and reimbursements of advances by the servicer, any amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note or, if applicable, amounts withdrawn from the reserve account are sufficient to make the payments described below in the order of priority described below.]

                                      

 

On each payment date, the trust will make payments from collections on the receivables during the related collection period and, if necessary, from amounts withdrawn from the reserve account, to the extent available for these purposes. Advances made by the servicer will be included in collections, and reimbursements of servicer advances will be deducted from collections before any payments are made. The trust generally will make payments in the following order of priority:

                                      

 

1.

 

Servicing Fee—the servicing fee payable to the servicer;

                                      

 

2.

 

Class A Note Interest—on a pro rata basis, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Notes, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (2) on any prior payment date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not available to make the payment (with interest accrued on any unpaid amounts as described under "Payments to Noteholders" in this prospectus supplement) [and then to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Certificates];

S–12



                                      

 

3.

 

Allocation of Principal—to the principal distribution account, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the collection period preceding the related collection period (or, in the case of the first collection period, as of the cutoff date) over (y) the principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the related collection period, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (3) on any prior payment date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not available to make the payment;

                                      

 

[4.

 

Reserve Account Deposit—to the reserve account, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds in the account to equal the required balance described under "Reserve Account" below; and]

                                      

 

[5.

 

Reserve Account Deposit and/or Revolving Liquidity Note Repayment—to the extent the reserve account is required to be funded and amounts then on deposit therein are less than the specified reserve account balance described below under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account", to the reserve account until the amount on deposit therein equals such specified reserve account balance. Thereafter, if amounts have been drawn under the revolving liquidity note as described below under "Revolving Liquidity Notes and Reserve Account", to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in repayment of such amounts, and then in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on amounts so drawn; and]

                                      

 

6.

 

Excess Amounts—any remaining amounts will be distributed to Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC as payment on its fractional undivided interest in the trust [or, during the revolving period, to purchase additional receivables. If the trust has a revolving period, the transfer and servicing agreements will provide for daily allocations for the purchase of additional receivables.]

S–13



                                      

 

Payments of Principal—[During the revolving period, principal will not be paid to securitiyholders, but will be reinvested by the Trust in additional receivables.] [During the amortization period, on each payment date, from the amounts deposited into the principal distribution account from the allocations of principal described in clause (3) above, the trust generally will pay principal of the securities in the following priority:

                                      

 

1.

 

to the Class A-1 Notes until they are paid in full;

                                      

 

2.

 

to the Class A-2 Notes until they are paid in full;

                                      

 

3.

 

to the Class A-3 Notes until they are paid in full; and

                                      

 

4.

 

to the Certificates until they are paid in full.]

                                      

 

After the Class A Notes and the Certificates are paid in full, any remaining funds will be paid to [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation as holder of the revolving liquidity note until the revolving liquidity note has been paid in full, and then to] Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC as payment on its fractional undivided interest in the trust.

                                      

 

However, if an event of default under the indenture [(including any termination of the swap agreement)] results in [early repayment of principal following the termination of the revolving period or during a period of early amortization, or] acceleration of the notes or involves an uncured payment default, the "Payment Priorities" described above will change from pro rata payments of interest followed by sequential payments of principal, to pro rata payments of interest followed by pro rata payment of principal to all classes of Class A Notes.

                                      

 

Under those circumstances, the amounts available to make payments to any class of Class A Notes may be reduced based on (i) the sufficiency of proceeds from the liquidation of the assets of the trust [and (ii) any obligation of the trust to make a swap termination payment to the swap counterparty, which obligation will be senior in priority to all distributions to holders of the Class A Notes.]

                                      

 

For information concerning such changes in priorities of payments and amounts available, see "Payments to Noteholders" [and "Swap Agreement"] in this Prospectus Supplement.

S–14



                                      

 

D. Subordination

                                      

 

[As long as any Class A Notes remain outstanding, on each payment date (i) all payments on each payment date in respect of interest on the certificates will be subordinated to the payment of interest on the Class A Notes, (ii) all payments in respect of principal of the certificates will be subordinated to the payment of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes (iii) Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC's undivided beneficial interest in the trust will be subordinated to payments of interest and principal on the Class A Notes and on the certificates.]

                                      

 

[As long as any Class A Notes remain outstanding, on each payment date (i) all payments in respect of interest on the certificates will be subordinated to the payment of interest on the Class A Notes, (ii) all payments in respect of principal of the certificates will be subordinated to the payment of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes (iii) all deposits into the reserve account will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes and the certificates, (iv) repayment of amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note (and interest accrued thereon) will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes and the certificates and any required deposits into the reserve account, (v) repayment of interest accrued on amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes and the certificates, any required deposits into the reserve account and repayment of amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note, and (vi) Toyota Auto Finance Receivable LLC's undivided beneficial interest in the trust will be subordinated to payments of interest and principal on the Class A Notes and on the certificates, any required deposits into the reserve account, repayment of amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note, and repayment of interest accrued on amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note.]

                                      

 

[E. Reserve Account

                                      

 

On the closing date, the seller will deposit $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date) into the reserve account for the trust.

S–15



                                      

 

On each payment date, if collections on the receivables and advances by the servicer are insufficient to pay the first three items listed under "Payment Priorities" above (excluding amounts payable to the certificateholders), the indenture trustee will withdraw funds (if available) from the reserve account to pay those amounts.

                                      

 

If the principal balance of a class of notes is not paid in full on the related final scheduled payment date, the indenture trustee will withdraw amounts from the reserve account (if available) to pay that class in full.

                                      

 

The amount required to be on deposit in the reserve at the close of business on any payment date will be the greater of (a)       % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the related collection period or (b) $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date), except that if charge-offs or delinquencies exceed specified levels, the required amount will be the greatest of (i)       % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the related collection period, (ii)  $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date), and (iii)       .

                                      

 

% of the outstanding principal balance of the notes as of that payment date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on that date). On each payment date, the trust will deposit, to the extent available, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds on deposit in the reserve account to equal the required balance set forth above.]

S–16



                                      

 

[
F. Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account

                                      

 

On the closing date pursuant to the revolving liquidity note agreement, the trust will issue a revolving liquidity note to be held by [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution]. On or before each payment date, the indenture trustee will be entitled to make draw requests that are to be funded by [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution] in order to enable the trust to fund shortfalls in payments of principal or interest due on the Notes on the related payment date to the extent such shortfalls are not funded from amounts on deposit in the reserve account. Except as described below, no funds will be available from, and no amounts will be deposited into, the reserve account. The aggregate of amounts that may be so drawn and outstanding under the revolving liquidity note is $            (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date). The Trust will be obligated to repay amounts so drawn and interest accrued thereon at      % per annum on subsequent payment dates from amounts available for such purposes in accordance with the payment priorities described above under "Payment Priorities—Reserve Account Deposit and/or Revolving Liquidity Note Repayment". The amounts available to be drawn under the revolving liquidity note will be reduced by amounts previously drawn, and increased (up to the initial balance thereof of $      ) by amounts so repaid. On any payment date, the repayment of amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note and payment of interest on such drawn amounts will be subordinated to the payment of interest and principal on the Class A Notes and on the certificates on such payment date and to any deposit into the reserve account of any amount required to be deposited therein on such payment date.

S–17



                                      

 

If [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's][other highly rated institution's] short-term unsecured debt rating falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P) or if [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution] fails to fund any amount drawn under the revolving liquidity note, then the indenture will require the indenture trustee to demand payment of the entire undrawn amount of the revolving liquidity note and to apply such payment first, to fund any shortfalls in payments of interest on or principal of the notes and then to deposit any remaining portion thereof into the reserve account until the amount on deposit therein is the specified reserve account balance described below. If such event occurs, thereafter the reserve account must be maintained as detailed below.

                                      

 

Following the occurrence of the downgrade event referred to in the preceding paragraph, or failure of [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution] to fund the amount drawn under the revolving liquidity note, as described above, the reserve account will be required to have on deposit at the close of business on any payment date $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date). Whether or not any such event has occurred, if charge-offs or delinquencies exceed specified levels, the aggregate amount required to be available under a combination of the revolving liquidity note (reduced by amounts drawn thereunder) and the reserve account will be the greater of (i) $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date) and (ii)        % of the outstanding principal balance of the notes as of such payment date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on such date).

                                      

 

On or before each payment date, if collections on the receivables, any net swap payments to the trust and advances by the servicer are insufficient to pay the first three items listed under "Payment Priorities" above, the indenture trustee will withdraw funds (if available) from the reserve account, and then, to the extent necessary and to the extent there is an undrawn balance thereunder, draw on the revolving liquidity note to pay those amounts.

S–18



                                      

 

If the principal balance of a class of notes is not paid in full on the related final scheduled payment date, the indenture trustee will withdraw amounts (if available) from the reserve account, and then, to the extent necessary and to the extent there is an undrawn balance thereunder, draw on the revolving liquidity note to pay that class in full.

                                      

 

On each payment date, the trust will (x) to the extent required as described above, deposit, to the extent available, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds on deposit in the reserve account to equal the specified reserve account balance described above and thereafter (y) repay to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, the principal amounts drawn under the revolving liquidity note (and when all principal has been paid, interest thereon), in each case, after all other distributions are made on the Notes.]

                                      

 

For information concerning [the revolving liquidity note and] the reserve account, see "Subordination; [Revolving Liquidity Note and] Reserve Account" in this prospectus supplement.

                                      

 

G. Final Scheduled Payment Dates

                                      

 

The trust is required to pay the outstanding principal amount of each class of notes in full on or before the related final scheduled payment date specified on the cover of this prospectus supplement.

                                      

 

H. Optional Redemption; Clean-Up Call

                                      

 

The servicer may redeem the Class A Notes in whole, but not part, at a price at least equal to the unpaid principal amount of those notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, [plus any amount payable by the trust to the swap counterparty under the swap agreement] [plus any amount due under the revolving liquidity note], on any payment date when the outstanding principal balance of the receivables has declined to 10% or less of the principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date.

                                      

 

For more detailed information regarding this option, you should refer to "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Optional Purchase" in this Prospectus Supplement.

S–19


 
Swap Agreement

 

The trust will enter into a swap agreement with [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution], as swap counterparty. Under the swap agreement, on each payment date the trust will be obligated to pay to the swap counterparty an amount in U.S. dollars equal to interest accrued on notional amounts equal to the principal balance of the Class   and Class   Notes at notional fixed rates of      % and      %, respectively, and the swap counterparty will be obligated to pay to the trust interest accrued on the Class   and Class   Notes at their respective floating rates, which, in the event of a currency swap, would be paid in the relevant currency. Payments (including any swap termination payment) of amounts due under the swap will be made on a net basis between the trust and the swap counterparty.

                                      

 

Certain events that are not entirely within the control of the trust or the swap counterparty may, and any event of default under the indenture that results in the acceleration of the notes will, cause the termination of the swap agreement. Upon a termination of the swap agreement, if the Notes are accelerated, the principal of the Class A Notes will be immediately due and payable and the indenture trustee will be obligated to liquidate the assets of the trust. Certain events that would cause termination of the swap agreement would also cause the trust to be obligated to make a swap termination payment to the swap counterparty (the amount of which the trust cannot estimate at the date of this prospectus supplement, but which may be significant). Any swap termination payment owed to the swap counterparty would reduce the amounts available to be paid to all noteholders following any termination and liquidation. In this event, holders of the Class A Notes may suffer a loss.

RISK FACTORS

    You should consider the following risk factors (and the factors set forth under "risk factors" in the accompanying prospectus) in deciding whether to purchase the securities of any class.

    Prepayments on receivables may cause prepayments on the securities, resulting in reinvestment risk to you.

    You may receive payment of principal on your securities earlier than you expected. If that happens, you may not be able to reinvest the principal you receive at a rate as high as the rate on your securities. Prepayments on the receivables will shorten the life of the securities to an extent that cannot be predicted. Prepayments may occur for a number of reasons. Some prepayments may be caused by the obligors under the receivables. For example, obligors may:

    make early payments, since receivables will generally be prepayable at any time without penalty;

    default, resulting in the repossession and sale of the financed vehicle; or

    damage the vehicle or become unable to pay due to death or disability, resulting in payments to the trust under any existing physical damage, credit life or other insurance.

[In addition, obligors with higher interest rate loans may prepay at a faster rate than obligors with lower interest rate loans.]

    Some prepayments may be caused by the seller or the servicer. For example, the seller will make representations and warranties regarding the receivables, and the servicer will agree to take or refrain from taking certain actions with respect to the receivables. If the seller or the servicer breaches its representation or agreement and the breach is material and cannot be remedied, it will be required to purchase the affected receivables from the trust. This will result, in effect, in the prepayment of the purchased receivables. In addition, the seller will have the option to purchase the receivables from the trust on any payment date when the outstanding principal balance of the receivables has declined to 10% or less of the principal balance as of the cutoff date. In addition, an event of default under the indenture [(including any termination of the swap agreement)] could cause the notes to be prepaid. See "Prepayments, Potential Losses and Changes in Order of Priority of Payments Following an Event of Default Under Indenture May Affect Yield" below.

    The rate of prepayments on the receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. The seller has limited historical experience with respect to prepayments, and cannot predict the actual prepayment rates for the receivables. The seller, however, believes that the actual rate of payments, including prepayments, will result in the weighted average life of each class of securities being shorter than the period from the closing date to the final scheduled maturity date for the related class.

    [Potential termination of the swap agreement presents swap counterparty risk, risk of prepayment of the notes and risk of loss upon liquidation of the trust assets.

    General.  The trust is obligated to make payments of interest accrued on the Class   and Class   Notes at floating interest rates, but the receivables that are assets of the trust bear interest at fixed rates. The trust has entered into the swap agreement with [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution] as the swap counterparty to enable the trust to issue notes bearing interest at floating rates. On each payment date, the trust will owe the swap counterparty the amount of interest deemed to accrue on a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class   Notes at      % per annum, and on a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class   Notes at       % per annum, and the swap counterparty will owe the trust the amount of interest that accrued on the Class   and Class   Notes at their respective floating rates of interest. Payments (including any swap termination payment) under the swap will be made on a

S–22


net basis between the trust and the swap counterparty. For a description of the key provisions of the swap agreement, see "Swap Agreement" in this prospectus supplement.

    Swap Counterparty Risk; Performance and Ratings Risks.  The amounts available to the trust to pay interest and principal of all classes of Class A Notes depend in part on the operation of the swap agreement and the performance by the swap counterparty of its obligations under the swap agreement. The ratings of all of the Class A Notes (including the Class   Notes) take into account the provisions of the swap agreement and the ratings currently assigned to [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's][other highly rated institution's] debt obligations, [because [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution] is the swap counterparty.]

    During those periods in which the floating LIBOR-based rate payable on the Class   and Class   Notes is substantially greater than the amount payable by the trust to the swap counterparty, the trust will be more dependent on receiving payments from the swap counterparty in order to make payments on the notes. If the swap counterparty fails to pay the net amount due, the amount of credit enhancement available in the current or any future period may be reduced and you may experience delays and/or reductions in the interest and principal payments on your notes. On the other hand, during those periods in which the amounts payable by the swap counterparty are less than the amounts payable by the trust under the swap agreement, the trust will be obligated to make payments to the swap counterparty. The swap counterparty will have a claim on the assets of the trust for the net swap payment due to the swap counterparty from the trust. The swap counterparty's claim will be higher in priority than payments on the notes. On any payment date, if there are not enough funds available from collections or advances to pay all of the trust's obligations for that payment date, the swap counterparty will receive full payment of the net amount due to it under the swap agreement before you receive payments on your Notes. If there is a shortage of funds available on any payment date, you may experience delays and/or reductions in interest and principal payments on your notes.

    [As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's long term debt ratings are Aa1 and AAA by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., respectively, and its short term debt ratings are P-1 and A-1+ by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., respectively.] A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of any rating of the debt of the swap counterparty by a rating agency may result in the downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by such rating agency to any class (or all classes) of notes. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to a class of notes would likely have adverse consequences on the liquidity or market value of those notes.

    [In the past, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. have placed the long-term debt ratings of Toyota Motor Corporation, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's ultimate parent, and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) under review for possible downgrade on the basis of their respective reviews of factors specific to those companies and factors external to those companies, including their "country ceilings" for ratings of foreign currency-denominated debt and bank deposits and yen-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by the government of Japan. For example, in February 2001, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. lowered the sovereign rating of Japan from AAA to AA+ and in November 2001, Standard & Poor's, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. lowered the sovereign rating of Japan from AA+ to AA. At those times, Standard & Poor's, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. did not similarly downgrade the credit rating of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its subsidiaries. However, under any circumstance in which either rating agency lowers its credit rating for Japan below that rating agency's then current credit rating of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation), that rating agency may lower its credit rating of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to the same extent as it did in August 1998. The downgrading by Moody's

S–23


Investors Service, Inc. of the long-term debt of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (including Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) to Aa1 from Aaa that occurred in August 1998 was based in part on Moody's Investors Service, Inc.'s sovereign rating of Japan.]

    If the long-term debt rating of [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution], as swap counterparty, is reduced to a level below Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or AA- by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or the short-term debt rating of [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation][other highly rated institution], as swap counterparty, is reduced to a level below P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (or, in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. without causing a downgrade in the ratings applicable to the Notes), Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as swap counterparty, may, but will not be required to, assign the swap agreement to another party, obtain a replacement swap agreement on substantially the same terms as the swap agreement, collateralize its obligations under the swap agreement or establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable rating agency. Neither the Trust nor any noteholder will have any remedy against Toyota Motor Credit Corporation if it elects not to do so or otherwise fails to do so. In such event, it is likely that the ratings on your notes will be downgraded.

    Investors should make their own determinations as to the likelihood of performance by the swap counterparty of its obligations under the swap agreement.

    Early Termination May Affect Weighted Average Life and Yield.  Certain events (including some that are not within the control of the trust or the swap counterparty) may cause the termination of the swap agreement. Certain of these events will not cause a termination of the swap agreement unless a majority of holders of Class   , Class   and Class   Notes vote to instruct the indenture trustee (as assignee of the rights of the owner trustee) to terminate the swap agreement. The holders of any class of notes may not have sufficient voting interests to cause or to prevent a termination of the swap agreement. If the swap agreement is terminated (or certain other events of default under the indenture occur) and the notes are accelerated, the indenture trustee will liquidate the assets of the trust. Liquidation would likely accelerate payment of all notes that are then outstanding. If a liquidation occurs close to the date when any class otherwise would have been paid in full, repayment of that class might be delayed while liquidation of the assets is occurring. The trust cannot predict the length of time that will be required for liquidation of the assets of the trust to be completed. In addition, liquidation proceeds may not be sufficient to repay the notes in full, particularly after any termination payment owing to the swap counterparty is made prior to any payments on the notes. Even if liquidation proceeds are sufficient to repay the notes in full, any liquidation that causes principal of a class of notes to be paid before the related final scheduled payment date will involve the prepayment risks described under "Prepayments on receivables may cause prepayments on the notes, resulting in reinvestment risk to you" above.

    Risk of Loss Upon Termination.  The proceeds of any liquidation of the assets of the trust may be insufficient to pay in full all accrued interest on and principal of each outstanding class of notes. In addition, if the swap agreement is terminated, the trust may be obligated to make a swap termination payment to the swap counterparty in an amount that the trust cannot now estimate. Any swap termination payment paid by the trust will reduce the amounts available to be paid to noteholders. Also, termination of the swap agreement will be an event of default under the indenture and will cause the priority of payments of all Class A Notes to change, from pro rata payments of interest followed by sequential payments of principal, to pro rata payments of interest followed by pro rata payments of principal to all four classes of Class A Notes. Therefore, all outstanding Class A Notes will be adversely affected by any shortfall in liquidation proceeds and any payment by the trust of a swap termination payment.]

S–24


    [Dependence on revolving liquidity note to fund certain shortfalls presents counterparty risk, risk of change of yields of the notes and risk of loss in connection with breach of funding obligation.

    General.  The reserve account will not be funded except under the circumstances described under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account". The trust will enter into the revolving liquidity note agreement with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. This agreement will authorize the trust to make draw requests to fund interest and principal payable on the Class A Notes to the extent available collections are insufficient to make these payments and the amounts on deposit in the reserve account are insufficient to fund these shortfalls. In addition, the revolving liquidity note agreement will require Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as holder of the revolving liquidity note, to fund draws as and when requested by the trust. The trust will issue the revolving liquidity note to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to evidence the trust's obligation to repay any draws funded by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, together with interest accrued on the funded draws at a rate of  % per annum. For a description of the key provisions of the revolving liquidity note agreement, see "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account" in this prospectus supplement.

    Counterparty Risk; Performance Risk.  The amounts available to the trust to pay interest and principal of all classes of Class A Notes may depend in part on the operation of the revolving liquidity note agreement and the performance by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation of its obligations under the revolving liquidity note agreement.

    On any payment date on which available collections are insufficient to fund payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes, the trust will be dependent on receiving payments from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as holder of the revolving liquidity note, to make payments on the notes to the extent there are no amounts, or insufficient amounts, then on deposit in the reserve account to fund the shortfalls. If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation fails to fund any requested draw, the amount of credit enhancement available in the current or any future period may be reduced and you may experience delays and/or reductions in the interest and principal payments on your notes. Although this failure will require Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to immediately fund the entire undrawn balance of the revolving liquidity note, if Toyota Motor Credit Corporation fails to do so, it may cause a continuing shortfall in the funds available to make payments to Class A Noteholders. This is particularly true because these funding obligations could arise under circumstances where there are no amounts on deposit in the reserve account and current collections are insufficient to fund the shortfalls or to start making deposits into the reserve account to be available to make payments in future periods. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's failure to fund draws will cause you to experience delays and/or reductions in interest and principal payments on your notes.

    If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's short-term unsecured debt rating falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by such rating agencies), or if Toyota Motor Credit Corporation fails to fund any amount drawn under the revolving liquidity note, then the indenture will require the indenture trustee to demand payment of the entire undrawn amount of the revolving liquidity note and to deposit the payment into the reserve account. In this event, if Toyota Motor Credit Corporation fails to fund the required draw, it is likely that the ratings on your notes will be downgraded.

    Investors should make their own determinations as to the likelihood of performance by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation of its obligations under the revolving liquidity note agreement.

    An event of default may affect weighted average life and yield.  If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation defaults on its obligation to fund the entire undrawn amount of the revolving liquidity note in connection with a downgrade or breach of funding obligation, this default will constitute an event of default under the indenture that will cause the priority of payments of all Class A Notes to change, from pro rata payments of interest followed by sequential payments of principal, to pro rata payments of interest followed by pro rata payments of principal to all four classes of Class A Notes.Thereafter,

S–25


all classes of Class A Notes will be exposed to the risk of additional shortfalls and losses, and, even if sufficient collections are thereafter available to fund payment in full of all classes of Class A Notes, this change in the priority of payments will change the timing of the repayment in full relative to the respective final scheduled payment dates of each class, with corresponding negative effects on the yields to the holders of each class.

    Structured securities are sophisticated instruments, can involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to investors capable of understanding the risks entailed in such instruments. Potential investors in any Class A Notes are strongly encouraged to consult with their financial advisors before making any investment decision.]

    Payment priorities increase risk of loss or delay in payment to certain classes of securities.

    Based on the priorities described under "Payments to Noteholders" in this prospectus supplement, classes of notes that receive payments, particularly principal payments, before other classes of notes and the certificates will be repaid more rapidly than such other securities. In addition, because of such payment priorities, the certificates and classes with higher numerical class designations will be outstanding longer, and therefore will be exposed to the risk of losses on the receivables during periods after other classes have been receiving most or all amounts payable on their notes, and during which a disproportionate amount of credit enhancement may have been applied an not replenished.

    As a result, the yield of the Class   and Class   Notes will be highly sensitive to losses on the receivables and the timing of such losses, and the yields of the Class   and Class   Notes will be relatively more sensitive to such losses and their timing than will the Class   Notes.

    If you buy certificates:

    you will not receive any interest payments on a payment date until all interest payable on each class of notes on that date has been paid; and

    you will not receive any principal payments on any payment date until all principal and interest payable on each class of notes on that date has been paid.

    If the actual rate and amount of losses exceed your expectations, and if amounts in the reserve fund are insufficient to cover the resulting shortfalls, the yield to maturity on your securities may be lower than anticipated, and you could suffer a loss.

    Classes of securities that receive payments earlier than expected are exposed to a greater reinvestment risk, and classes of securities that receive principal later than expected are exposed to a greater risk of loss. In either case, the yields on your securities could be materially and adversely affected.

    Because the trust has limited assets, there is only limited protection against potential losses.

    The only sources of funds for payments on the securities are collections on the receivables (which include proceeds of the liquidation of repossessed vehicles and of relevant insurance policies), advances by the servicer, [net swap payments by the swap counterparty to the trust] and the reserve account. The notes and certificates are not obligations of, and will not be insured or guaranteed by, any governmental agency or the seller, the servicer, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., any trustee or any of their affiliates. You must rely solely on payments on the receivables, advances by the servicer, [net swap payments by the swap counterparty to the trust,] [funding of draws by the holder of the revolving liquidity note] and any amounts available in the reserve account for payments on the securities. [Amounts available to be drawn under the revolving liquidity note are limited. Funds will not be deposited into the reserve account except under the limited circumstances described under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account" in this prospectus supplement, and any amounts deposited in the reserve account will be limited.] Although funds in the reserve account will be available to cover

S–26


shortfalls in payments of interest and principal on each payment date, the amounts deposited in the reserve account will be limited. If the entire reserve account has been used, the trust will depend solely on current collections on the receivables, [net swap payments by the swap counterparty to the trust,] advances by the servicer [and funding of draws by the holder of the revolving liquidity note (to the extent not previously drawn and unreimbursed) to make payments on the notes. Any excess amounts released from the reserve account [to repay amounts drawn on the revolving liquidity note (and interest thereon) or] to the seller will no longer be available to securityholders on any later payment date. See "Subordination; [Revolving Liquidity Note and] Reserve Account" in this prospectus supplement. If the assets of the trust are not sufficient to pay interest and principal on the securities you hold, you will suffer a loss.

    Prepayments, potential losses and changes in order of priority of payments following an event of default under indenture may affect yield.  Certain events (including some that are not within the control of the trust or Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) may result in events of default under the indenture [(including termination of the swap agreement)] and cause acceleration of all outstanding notes. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture [(including termination of the swap agreement)] and the acceleration of the notes, the trust may be required promptly to sell the receivables, liquidate the other assets of the trust and apply the proceeds to the payment of the notes. Liquidation would be likely to accelerate payment of all notes that are then outstanding. If a liquidation occurs close to the date when any class otherwise would have been paid in full, repayment of that class might be delayed while liquidation of the assets is occurring. The trust cannot predict the length of time that will be required for liquidation of the assets of the trust to be completed. In addition, the amounts received from a sale in these circumstances may not be sufficient to pay all amounts owed to the holders of all classes of notes or any class of notes, and you may suffer a loss. Even if liquidation proceeds are sufficient to repay the notes in full, any liquidation that causes principal of a class of notes to be paid before the related final scheduled payment date will involve the prepayment risks described under "Prepayments on receivables may cause prepayments on the notes, resulting in reinvestment risk to you" above. Also, an event of default that results in the acceleration of the notes will cause priority of payments of all Class A Notes to change, from pro rata payments of interest followed by sequential payments of principal, to pro rata payments of interest followed by pro rata payments of principal. Therefore, all outstanding Class A Notes will be affected by any shortfall in liquidation proceeds. See "Prepayment on receivables may cause prepayments on the notes, resulting in prepayment risk to you" and ["Potential termination of the swap agreement presents swap counterparty risk, risk of prepayment of the notes and risk of loss upon liquidation of the trust assets"] above.

    Performance of the receivables could be affected by economic conditions in the states where the receivables were originated.

    If a large number of obligors are located in a particular state, economic conditions or other factors that negatively affect that state could also negatively affect the delinquency, credit loss or repossession experience of the trust. The table entitled "Geographic Distribution of the Receivables by State" on page S-35 of this prospectus supplement provides important information about the number and principal amount of receivables located in each state (based on the address of the related dealer). By cutoff date principal balance, based on the address of the related dealer,      %,      %,      % and      % of the receivables were located in      ,      ,       , and      , respectively. By cutoff date principal balance, based on the address of the related dealer, not more than 5% of the receivables were located in any other state.

    Certain noteholders may have little or no control with respect to important actions.

    The trust will pledge the property of the trust [(including the rights of the trust under the swap agreement and revolving liquidity note agreement)] to the indenture trustee as collateral for the payment of the notes. As a result, the indenture trustee, acting at the direction of the holders of a

S–27


majority in outstanding principal amount of the notes (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any notes held of record or beneficially owned by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation or any of its affiliates), has the power to direct the trust to take certain actions in connection with the property of the trust. The holders of at least 51% of the principal balance of the outstanding notes (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any notes held of record or beneficially owned by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation or any of its affiliates) or the indenture trustee acting on behalf of the holders of such notes, will also have the right under certain circumstances to terminate the servicer. In addition, those noteholders will have the right to waive certain events of default or defaults involving the servicer. See "Description of the Notes-The Indenture-Events of Default; Rights Upon Event of Default" and "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements-Rights upon Servicer Default" and "—Waiver of Past Defaults" in the accompanying prospectus. [Holders of a majority of outstanding principal balances of the [Class   and Class   ] Notes will have the right to direct the indenture trustee to terminate the swap agreement in connection with certain events of default under the swap agreement, which direction would result in the acceleration of all outstanding Class   Notes. See "Swap Agreement" in this prospectus supplement.]

    Paid-ahead simple interest contracts may affect the weighted average life of the securities.

    If an obligor on a simple interest contract makes a payment on the contract ahead of schedule (for example, because the obligor intends to go on vacation), the weighted average life of the certificates could be affected. This is because the additional scheduled payments will be treated as a principal prepayment and applied to reduce the principal balance of the related contract and the obligor will generally not be required to make any scheduled payments during the period for which it was paid-ahead. During this paid-ahead period, interest will continue to accrue on the principal balance of the contract, as reduced by the application of the additional scheduled payments, but the obligor's contract would not be considered delinquent during this period. While the servicer may be required to make interest advances during this period, no principal advances will be made. Furthermore, when the obligor resumes his required payments, the payments so paid may be insufficient to cover the interest that has accrued since the last payment by the obligor. This situation will continue until the regularly scheduled payments are once again sufficient to cover all accrued interest and to reduce the principal balance of the contract.

    The payment by the trust of the paid-ahead principal amount on the notes will generally shorten the weighted average life of the certificates. However, depending on the length of time during which a paid-ahead simple interest contract is not amortizing as described above, the weighted average life of the certificates may be extended. In addition, to the extent the servicer makes advances on a paid-ahead simple interest contract which subsequently goes into default, the loss on this contract may be larger than would have been the case had advances not been made because liquidation proceeds for the contract will be applied first to reimburse the servicer its advances.

    TMCC's portfolio of retail installment sale contracts has historically included simple interest contracts which have been paid-ahead by one or more scheduled monthly payments. There can be no assurance as to the number of contracts in the trust which may become paid-ahead simple interest contracts as described above or the number or the principal amount of the scheduled payments which may be paid-ahead.

    The absence of a secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell the securities.

    [The notes are [not] expected to be listed on any securities exchange.] There have been times in the past when the absence of a liquid secondary market for similar asset backed securities has caused the holders thereof to be unable to sell their securities at all or other than at a significant loss. The absence of a liquid secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell them. This means that if you want to sell your securities in the future before they mature, you may have difficulty finding a buyer. If you find a buyer, the selling price may be less than it would have been if a

S–28


secondary market existed for the securities. There is currently no secondary market for the securities. Although the underwriters have stated that they intend to make a market in each class of securities, they are not obligated to do so. A secondary market may not ever develop for the securities. Even if such a market does develop, it may not provide sufficient liquidity or continue for the life of your securities.

    Certain obligors' ability to make timely payments on the receivables may be adversely affected by extreme weather conditions.

    Extreme weather conditions, such as the flooding in June 2001 in metropolitan Houston, Texas could cause substantial business disruptions, economic losses, unemployment and an economic downturn. As a result, the related obligors' ability to make timely payments could be adversely affected. The trust's ability to make payments on the securities could be adversely affected if the related obligors were unable to make timely payments.

    The potential energy crisis may adversely affect the trust's ability to make payments on the securities.

    In the first half of 2001, California experienced energy shortages that resulted in unpredictable rolling blackouts and higher energy costs. This potential crisis could someday spread to other states and affect the entire nation. These higher energy costs could reduce the amount of money that the affected obligors have available to make monthly payments. Higher energy costs and blackouts could also cause business disruptions, which could cause unemployment and an economic downturn. Such obligors could potentially become delinquent in making monthly payments or default if they were unable to make payments due to increased energy bills or unemployment. The trust's ability to make payments on the securities could be adversely affected if the related obligors were unable to make timely payments.

    The return on your securities could be reduced by shortfalls due to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act.

    The effect of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 and related military action on the performance of the receivables is unclear, but there may be an adverse effect on general economic conditions, consumer confidence and general market liquidity. Investors should consider the possible effects on delinquency, default and prepayment experience of the receivables. In particular, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, or Relief Act, provides relief to obligors who enter active military service and to obligors in reserve status who are called to active duty after the origination of their receivables. The response of the United States to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 has included rescue efforts and military operations that will increase the number of citizens who are in active military service, including persons in reserve status who have been called or will be called to active duty. The Relief Act provides, generally, that an obligor who is covered by the Relief Act may not be charged interest on the related receivable in excess of 6% per annum during the period of the obligor's active duty. These shortfalls are not required to be paid by the obligor at any future time. The servicer is not required to advance these shortfalls as delinquent payments, and such shortfalls are not covered by any form of credit enhancement on the notes. Interest shortfalls on the receivables due to the application of the Relief Act or similar legislation or regulations will be applied to reduce accrued interest on each class of the securities on a pro rata basis.

    The Relief Act also limits the ability of the servicer to repossess the financed vehicle securing a receivable during the related obligor's period of active duty and, in some cases, may require the servicer to extend the maturity of the receivable, lower the monthly payments and readjust the payment schedule for a period of time after the completion of the obligor's military service. As a result, there may be delays in payment and increased losses on the receivables. These delays and increased losses will be borne primarily by the certificates, but if such losses are greater than anticipated, you may suffer a loss.

    We do not know how many receivables have been or may be affected by the application of the Relief Act.

    Because the securities are in book-entry form, your rights can only be exercised indirectly.

    Because the securities will be issued in book-entry form, you will be required to hold your interest in the certificates through The Depository Trust Company in the United States, or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System in Europe or Asia. Transfers of interests in the securities within The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System must be made in accordance with the usual rules and operating procedures of those systems. So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will not be entitled to receive a definitive note or certificate representing your interest. The securities will remain in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described under the caption "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Book-Entry Registration" in the accompanying prospectus. Unless and until the securities cease to be held in book-entry form, the indenture trustee will not recognize you as a "noteholder" and the owner trustee will not recognize you as a "Securityholder", as those terms are used in the trust agreement and sale and servicing agreement. As a result, you will only be able to exercise the rights of Securityholders indirectly through The Depository Trust Company (if in the United States) and its participating organizations, or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme and the Euroclear System (in Europe or Asia) and their participating organizations. Holding the securities in book-entry form could also limit your ability to pledge your securities to persons or entities that do not participate in The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System and to take other actions that require a physical certificate representing the securities.

    Interest and principal on the securities will be paid by the trust to The Depository Trust Company as the record holder of the securities while they are held in book-entry form. The Depository Trust Company will credit payments received from the trust to the accounts of its participants which, in turn, will credit those amounts to securityholders either directly or indirectly through indirect participants. This process may delay your receipt of principal and interest payments from the trust.


THE TRUST

General

    The Toyota Auto Receivables      -  Owner Trust (the "Trust") is a Delaware business trust to be formed pursuant to the trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement") between Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC, as seller (the "Seller") and            as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"). After its formation, the Trust will not engage in any activity other than (i) acquiring, holding and managing the receivables as described below under "The Receivables Pool" (the "Receivables") and the other assets of the Trust and proceeds therefrom, (ii) issuing the Class A-1 Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes"), Class A-2 Notes (the "Class A-2 Notes"), Class A-3 Notes (the "Class A-3 Notes" and, together with the Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes, the "Class A Notes" or the "Notes") and the certificates (the "Subordinated Certificates" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities"), (iii) making payments on the Notes and the Certificates and (iv) engaging in other activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith.

    The Trust will initially be capitalized with the Notes, the Certificates, [the Revolving Liquidity Note] and the Subordinated Sellers' Interest. The Trust will use the Notes, the Certificates and the Subordinated Sellers' Interest as consideration for the Receivables transferred to the Trust by the Seller pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement described in the "Summary of Terms" (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"). The Class A Notes [and the Certificates] are being offered hereby. [The Seller will sell the Class   Notes to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") in a separate transaction.] The Seller will deliver the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and a subordinated non-recourse

S–30


promissory note, to TMCC as consideration for the Receivables transferred to TAFR LLC by TMCC pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement described in the "Summary of Terms" (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"). [The Revolving Liquidity Note, evidencing the right to repayment of draws funded by the holder thereof in respect of certain shortfalls in payments of interest on or principal of the Class   Notes and fully subordinated to the interests of the holders of the Notes, will be issued by the Trust to TMCC.] The Subordinated Seller's Interest, evidencing an undivided beneficial interest in the Trust that is fully subordinate to the interest of the holders of the Notes (i.e., an equity interest in the Trust), will be retained by TAFR LLC.

    TMCC will be appointed to act as the servicer of the Receivables (the "Servicer"). The Servicer will service the Receivables pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement and TMCC will also perform additional administrative services for the Trust, the Owner Trustee, [the Delaware Co-Trustee] and the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Administration Agreement. TMCC (or any successor servicer or successor administrator) will be compensated for these services as described under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation" in this Prospectus Supplement and "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the Prospectus. [TMCC will be the initial Swap Counterparty pursuant to the Swap Agreement as described in this Prospectus Supplement under "Description of the Swap Agreement."] [TMCC will also be a party to a revolving liquidity note agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement") and the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note as described in this Prospectus Supplement under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account."]

    Pursuant to agreements between TMCC and the Dealers, each Dealer will repurchase from TMCC those contracts that do not meet certain representations and warranties made by the Dealer. These Dealer repurchase obligations are referred to herein as "Dealer Recourse". These representations and warranties relate primarily to the origination of the contracts and the perfection of the security interests in the related financed vehicles, and do not typically relate to the creditworthiness of the related obligors or the collectibility of such contracts. Although the Dealer agreements with respect to the Receivables will not be assigned to the Trust, the Sale and Servicing Agreement will require that any recovery by TMCC in respect of any Receivable pursuant to any Dealer Recourse be deposited in the Collection Account in satisfaction of TMCC's repurchase obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The sales by the Dealers of installment sales contracts to TMCC do not generally provide for recourse against the Dealers for unpaid amounts in the event of a default by an obligor thereunder, other than in connection with the breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

    Each Certificate represents an undivided ownership interest in the Trust. The Trust property includes the Receivables, and certain monies due or received thereunder on or after the Cutoff Date. The Trust property also includes (i) such amounts as from time to time may be held in one or more accounts established and maintained by the Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as described below; (ii) security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto; (iii) the rights to proceeds with respect to the Receivables and physical damage, credit life and disability insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors, as the case may be; (iv) the right to receive proceeds from any Dealer Recourse; (v) the rights of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; (vi) the right to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future proceeds of liquidation of Defaulted Receivables) that shall have secured a Receivable and that shall have been acquired by the Owner Trustee; [(vii) the rights of the Trust and powers of the Owner Trustee under the Swap Agreement, and the amounts payable to the Trust thereunder;] [(viii) the rights of the Trust and powers of the Owner Trustee under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, and the amounts so funded by the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note thereunder;] and (ix) any and all proceeds of the foregoing.

                is the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement.            is a            and its principal executive offices are located at            . The Seller and its affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relations with the Owner Trustee and its affiliates.

                is the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.            is a            and its principal executive offices are located at            . The Seller and its affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relations with the Indenture Trustee and its affiliates.


PAYING AGENTS

    [Under the Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee will appoint paying agents in each jurisdiction in which Securities are listed on an exchange whose rules so require. For so long as any Securities are listed on the [exchange] or [exchange], the Owner Trustee will maintain paying agents in [jurisdiction] and [jurisdiction]. The Initial Paying Agents will be            and            . Definitive Certificates may be presented for purposes of payment, transfer or exchange at the offices of the paying agent in [jurisdiction] at            , at the offices of the paying agent in [jurisdiction] at            , or such other paying agents as may be specified in a written notice to the holders of Securities described below.]


THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER

    Toyota Financial Services Corporation was incorporated in July 2000 to control and manage Toyota Motor Corporation's worldwide finance operations, including those in the United States. On October 1, 2000, Toyota Financial Services Corporation assumed ownership of TMCC, which previously had been a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. All of the outstanding stock of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation is now owned by Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Financial Services Corporation.

    During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, TMCC announced plans to restructure its field operations. The branch offices of TMCC will be converted to serve only dealer business which includes the purchasing of contracts from dealers, financing inventories, loans to dealers for business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases and working capital requirements, as well as consulting on finance and insurance operations. The other functions that the branch offices currently cover, such as customer service, collections, lease termination and administrative functions, will be handled by three regional call centers. The new structure is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2003.

    Additional information regarding the Seller and the Servicer is set forth under the captions "The Seller" and "The Servicer" in the Prospectus.

S–32



THE RECEIVABLES POOL

    The pool of Receivables (the "Receivables Pool") will include the Receivables purchased as of            (the "Cutoff Date"). The Receivables were originated by Dealers in accordance with TMCC's requirements and subsequently purchased by TMCC. The Receivables evidence the indirect financing made available by TMCC to the related purchasers (the "Obligors") of the vehicles financed by the Receivables (the "Financed Vehicles"). On or before the date of initial issuance of the Securities (the "Closing Date"), TMCC will sell the Receivables to the Seller pursuant to the receivables purchase agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement") between the Seller and TMCC. The Seller will, in turn, sell the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. During the term of the sale and Servicing Agreement, neither the Seller nor TMCC may substitute any other retail installment sales contract for any Receivable sold to the Trust.

    The Receivables in the Receivables Pool are required to meet certain selection criteria as of the Cutoff Date. Pursuant to such criteria, each Receivable:

    falls within the range of:
remaining principal balance   $    to $    
APRs     % to  %
original number of monthly payments ("Scheduled Payments")     to  
remaining number of Scheduled Payments     to  
    has a maximum number of:
days past due for payment   30 days
Scheduled Payments paid ahead of schedule   6 Scheduled Payments
    was, at the time of origination, secured by a new or used automobile or light duty truck;

    was originated in the United States;

    provides for scheduled monthly payments that fully amortize the amount financed by such Receivable over its original term (except for minimally different payments in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable);

    is being serviced by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation;

    to the best knowledge of the Seller, is not due from any obligor who is presently the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or is bankrupt or insolvent;

    does not relate to a vehicle that has been repossessed without reinstatement as of the Cutoff Date; and

    does not relate to a vehicle as to which insurance has been force-placed as of the Cutoff Date.

    Toyota Motor Credit Corporation does not originate retail installment sales contracts in Hawaii, and retail installment sales contracts originated in [Texas] or by a TMCC subsidiary in Puerto Rico will not be included in the Trust. No selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to Noteholders have been used in selecting the Receivables. Based on the addresses of the originating Dealers, the Receivables have been originated in 48 states. Except in the case of any breach of

S–33


representations and warranties by the related Dealer, the Receivables generally do not provide for recourse against the originating Dealer. The following are additional characteristics of the Receivables:

    as a percentage of the aggregate principal balance, as of the Cutoff Date:
Precomputed Receivables          %
Simple interest Receivables          %
New vehicles financed by TMCC          %
Used vehicles financed by TMCC          %
Receivables representing financing of vehicles manufactured or distributed by Toyota Motor Corporation or its affiliates          %
    as a percentage of the number of Receivables, as of the Cutoff Date:

DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES

    Set forth below is certain information concerning Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's experience with respect to its portfolio of new and used automobile and/or light duty truck retail installment sales contracts which it has funded and is servicing, including contracts that have been securitized.

    The data presented in the following tables are for illustrative purposes only. There is no assurance that TMCC's delinquency, credit loss and repossession experience with respect to automobile and/or light duty truck retail installment sales contracts in the future, or the experience of the Trust with respect to the Receivables, will be similar to that set forth below. The percentages in the tables below have not been adjusted to eliminate the effect of the growth of TMCC's portfolio. Accordingly, the delinquency, repossession and net loss percentages would be expected to be higher than those shown if a group of receivables were isolated at a period in time and the delinquency, repossession and net loss data showed the activity only for that isolated group over the periods indicated.

    During fiscal 2000, TMCC completed the national launch of an expanded tiered pricing program for retail installment sales contracts. The objective of the program is to better match customer risk with contract rates charged to allow profitable purchases of a wider range of risk levels. Implementation of this expanded program is expected to result in both increased contract yields and increased credit losses in connection with the purchase of higher risk contracts. Most of the contracts included in the Series       pool will have been originated under the tiered pricing program and may perform differently than has TMCC's entire portfolio during the periods described in the following tables during which the tiered pricing program was not in place for all originations.

S–37



USE OF PROCEEDS

    The Seller will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities (approximately $            ) together with [the net proceeds from the sale of the Class A-1 Notes to TMCC and] a subordinated non-recourse promissory note issued to TMCC to purchase the Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement [and to fund the Reserve Account].


PREPAYMENT AND YIELD CONSIDERATIONS

    Information regarding certain maturity and prepayment considerations with respect to the Securities is set forth under "Weighted Average Life of the Securities" in the Prospectus and "Risk Factors—Prepayments on Receivables may Cause Prepayments on the Securities, Resulting in Reinvestment Risk to You" in this Prospectus Supplement. Except as otherwise provided in this Prospectus Supplement, no principal payments will be made on the Class A-2 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, no principal payments will be made on the Class A-3 Notes until the Class A-2 Notes have been paid in full and no payments of principal with respect to the Certificates will be made until the Class A-3 Notes have been paid in full and all payments of interest with respect to Notes due on that Payment Date have been paid. See "Description of the Notes—Payments of Principal" and "Description of the Certificates—Payments of Principal" in this Prospectus Supplement.

    Because the rate of payment of principal of each class of Notes and the Certificates depends primarily on the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the principal balance of the Receivables, final payment of any class of Notes and the final payment in respect of the Certificates could occur significantly earlier or later than their respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates. Securityholders will bear the risk of being able to reinvest principal payments on the Securities at yields at least equal to the yield on their respective Securities. No prediction can be made as to the rate of prepayments on the Receivables in either stable or changing interest rate environments.

    Principal payments generally will not be made on the Class  Notes until the Class  Notes have been paid in full. Principal payments generally will not be made on the Class  Notes until the Class  Notes have been paid in full, and principal payments generally will not be made on the Class  Notes until the Class  Notes have been paid in full. However, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, [including following any termination of the Swap Agreement], resulting in acceleration of the Notes or involving an uncured payment default [(including certain defaults by the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note on its obligations to fund draws)], the Class  Notes, Class  Notes, Class  Notes and Class  Notes will be paid principal on a pro rata basis. It is expected that final payment of each class of Notes will occur on or prior to the respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates.

    The Certificates will provide limited protection against losses on the Receivables. Accordingly, the yield on the Certificates will be sensitive to the loss experience of the Receivables and the timing of any such losses. If the actual rate and amount of losses experienced by the Receivables exceed the rate and amount of such losses assumed by an investor, the yield to maturity on the Certificates may be lower than anticipated.

    Failure to make final payment of any class of Notes on or prior to the respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates will constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture, which may accelerate payments in respect of classes that have not reached their respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates. However, as the rate of payment of principal of each class of Notes depends on the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the principal balance of the Receivables, sufficient funds may not be available to pay each class of Notes in full on or prior to the respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates. If sufficient funds are not available, final payment of any class of Notes could occur later than such dates, and the holders of such Notes could suffer a loss.

S–38


    The rate of prepayments of the Receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors, and under certain circumstances relating to breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, the Seller and/or the Servicer will be obligated to repurchase Receivables from the Trust. A higher than anticipated rate of prepayments will reduce the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables more quickly than expected and thereby reduce anticipated aggregate interest payments on the Notes. See "Risk Factors—Prepayments on Receivables May Cause Prepayments on the Notes, Resulting in Reinvestment Risk to You."

    Noteholders should consider, in the case of Notes purchased at a discount, the risk that a slower than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Receivables could result in an actual yield that is less than the anticipated yield and, in the case of Notes purchased at a premium, the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Receivables could result in an actual yield that is less than the anticipated yield.

    Certain events that (including some that are not within the control of the Trust [or the Swap Counterparty]) may cause Events of Default under the Indenture [or the termination of the Swap Agreement]. Certain of these events will not cause a termination of the Swap Agreement unless a majority of holders of Notes (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC or any of its affiliates), voting as a single class, instruct the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Owner Trustee) to terminate the Swap Agreement. The holders of any class of Notes may not have sufficient voting interests to cause or to prevent a termination of the Swap Agreement or an acceleration of the Notes. If the Swap Agreement is terminated or (or certain other Events of Default under the Indenture occur), the Indenture Trustee will liquidate the assets of the Trust. Liquidation would be likely to accelerate payment of all Notes that are then outstanding. If a liquidation occurs close to the date when any class otherwise would have been paid in full, repayment of such class might be delayed while liquidation of the assets is occurring. The Trust cannot predict the length of time that will be required for liquidation of the assets of the Trust to be completed. Even if liquidation proceeds are sufficient to repay the Notes in full, any liquidation that causes principal of a class of Notes to be paid before the related Final Scheduled Payment Date will involve the prepayment risks described in this Prospectus Supplement under "Risk Factors—Prepayments on Receivables may Cause Prepayments on the Notes, Resulting in Reinvestment Risk to You".

    The proceeds of any liquidation of the assets of the Trust may be insufficient to pay in full all accrued interest on and principal of each outstanding class of Notes. [In addition, if the Swap Agreement is terminated, the Trust may be obligated to make a swap termination payment to the Swap Counterparty in an amount that the Trust cannot estimate as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Any swap termination payment paid by the Trust will reduce the amounts available to be paid to Noteholders. Also, acceleration of the Notes as a result of any Event of Default under the Indenture, or involving an uncured payment default or termination of the Swap Agreement, will cause the priority of payments of all Class A Notes to change, to pro rata payments of interest followed by pro rata payments of principal to all outstanding classes of Class A Notes. Therefore, all outstanding Class A Notes will be affected by any shortfall in liquidation proceeds and any payment by the Trust of a swap termination payment.]

    [Although the Receivables have different APRs, each Receivable's APR exceeds the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Interest Rates for each class of Notes and the Pass Through Rate for the Certificates plus (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate. Therefore, disproportionate rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher and lower APRs should not affect the yield to Securityholders on the outstanding principal balance of a particular class of Securities.]

    [Although the Receivables have different APRs, the pool of Receivables contains Receivables with APRs that are lower than the Interest Rates on the Class A Notes and the Pass Through Rate for the

S–39


Certificates. Therefore, disproportionate rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher and lower APRs may affect the yield to Securityholders on the outstanding principal balance of a particular class of securities, as described in this Prospectus Supplement under "Risk Factors—Prepayments on Receivables May Cause Prepayments on the Securities, Resulting in Reinvestment Risk to You."]


WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIVES OF THE NOTES

    Prepayments on automotive receivables can be measured relative to a prepayment standard or model. The model used in this Prospectus Supplement, the Absolute Prepayment Model ("ABS"), represents an assumed rate of prepayment each month relative to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS further assumes that all the receivables in question are the same size and amortize at the same rate and that each receivable in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables originally containing 10,000 receivables, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 receivables prepay each month. ABS does not purport to be an historical description of prepayment experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of receivables, including the Receivables.

    As the rate of payment of principal of each class of Notes will depend on the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the principal balance of the Receivables, final payment of any class of Notes could occur significantly earlier than the respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates. Reinvestment risk associated with early payment of the Notes of any class will be borne exclusively by the holders of such Notes.

    The table captioned "Percent of Initial Note Principal Amount at Various ABS Percentages" (the "ABS Table") has been prepared on the basis of the characteristics of the Receivables described under "The Receivables Pool." The ABS Table assumes that (i) the Receivables prepay in full at the specified constant percentage of ABS monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases, (ii) each scheduled monthly payment on each Receivable is scheduled to be made and is made on the last day of each month commencing      and each month has 30 days, (iii) the Notes are issued on            and payments are made on the Notes on each Payment Date (and each such date is assumed to be the fifteenth day of each applicable month), (iv) the balance in the reserve account on each payment date is the required amount described in the summary under ["Reserve Account"] ["Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account," if applicable], (v) except as otherwise indicated, the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Receivables on the earliest Payment Date on which such option may be exercised, and (vi) there is no swap termination or other event resulting in the acceleration of the Class A Notes or involving an uncured payment default. The hypothetical pools each have an assumed Cutoff Date of            . The ABS Table indicates the projected weighted average life of each class of Notes and sets forth the percent of the initial principal amount of each class of Notes that is projected to be outstanding after each of the Payment Dates shown at various constant ABS percentages.

    The ABS Table also assumes that the Receivables have been aggregated into hypothetical pools with all of the receivables within each such pool having the following characteristics and that the level scheduled monthly payment for each of the pools (which is based on its aggregate principal balance,

S–40


APR, original term to maturity and remaining term to maturity as of the assumed cutoff date) will be such that each pool will be fully amortized by the end of its remaining term to maturity.

    The actual characteristics and performance of the Receivables will differ from the assumptions used in constructing the ABS Table. The assumptions used are hypothetical and have been provided only to give a general sense of how the principal cash flows might behave under varying prepayment scenarios. For example, it is very unlikely that the Receivables will prepay at a constant level of ABS until maturity or that all of the Receivables will prepay at the same level of ABS. Moreover, the diverse terms of receivables within each of the hypothetical pools could produce slower or faster principal distributions than indicated in the ABS Table at the various constant percentages of ABS specified, even if the original and remaining terms to maturity of the Receivables are as assumed. Any difference between such assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance of the Receivables, or actual prepayment experience, will affect the percentages of initial amounts outstanding over time and the weighted average lives of each class of Notes.

This calculation assumes that the servicer does not exercise its option to purchase the receivables.

    The foregoing table has been prepared on the basis of the assumptions described above under "Weighted Average Lives of the Notes" (including the assumptions regarding the characteristics and performance of the receivables, which will differ from the actual characteristics and performance of the receivables), and should be read in conjunction therewith.

POOL FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION

    The "Pool Factor" with respect to any class of Notes or the Certificates will be a seven-digit decimal indicating the principal amount of such class of Notes or the Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the close of business on the Payment Date in such month as a fraction of the respective principal amount thereof as of the Closing Date or the Initial Certificate Balance, as the case may be. The Servicer will compute each Pool Factor each month. Each Pool Factor will initially be 1.0000000 and thereafter will decline to reflect reductions in the principal amount of each class of Notes or the Certificate Balance, as the case may be. Each such principal amount and Certificate Balance will be computed by allocating payments in respect of the Receivables to principal and interest using the actuarial method for the Precomputed Receivables and using the simple interest method for the Simple Interest Receivables. The portion of the principal amount of any class of Notes or the portion of the Certificate Balance for a given month allocable to a Noteholder or Certificateholder, as the case may be, can be determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder's Note or Certificate by the related Pool Factor for that month.

    Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Securityholders will receive monthly reports concerning the payments received on the Receivables, the Pool Balance, the related Pool Factors and various other items of information pertaining to the Trust. Securityholders during each calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Reports to Securityholders" in the Prospectus.


DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

    The Notes will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. A copy of the Indenture [and of the Swap Agreement] will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") [and the Luxembourg and the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges] following the issuance of the Securities. The following summary describes certain terms of the Notes, the Indenture, [the Swap Agreement, and the Revolving Liquidity Note]. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Notes, the Indenture, and the Swap Agreement. Where particular provisions or terms used in the Indenture [and the Swap Agreement] are referred to, the actual provisions (including definitions of terms) are incorporated by reference as part of that summary. The following summary supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the Notes of any given series and the related Indenture [and Swap Agreement] set forth in the Prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made.

Payments of Interest

    [Each class of] Notes will constitute Fixed Rate Securities, as such term is defined under "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Fixed Rate Securities" in the Prospectus. [The Class   and Class   Notes will constitute Floating Rate Securities, as such term is defined under "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Floating Rate Securities" in the Prospectus.]

    Interest on the principal balances of the classes of the Notes will accrue at the respective per annum interest rates set forth on the front cover of this prospectus supplement (each, an "Interest Rate") and will be payable to the Noteholders monthly on the fifteenth of each month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, a "Payment Date") commencing            . A "Business Day" is any day except a Saturday or Sunday, a day on which banks in New York, New York, [Chicago, Illinois] or San Francisco, California are closed; or [for payments on the Securities made in Luxembourg or Hong Kong by a paying agent, a day on which banks in Luxembourg or Hong Kong are closed.]

S–42


    [Interest will accrue for the period (i) with respect to the Class   and Class   Notes, from and including the Closing Date (in the case of the first Payment Date) or from and including the most recent Payment Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding the following Payment Date and (ii) with respect to the Class   and  Notes, from and including the Closing Date (in the case of the first Payment Date) or from and including the fifteenth day of the most recent calendar month during which interest was paid preceding each Payment Date to but excluding the fifteenth day of the following calendar month (each an "Interest Period"). Interest on the Class   and Class   Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed during the Interest Period and a 360-day year. Interest on the Class   and Class   Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. Interest accrued as of any Payment Date but not paid on such Payment Date will be due on the next Payment Date, together with interest on such amount at the applicable Interest Rate (to the extent lawful).]

    Interest on the Class   and Class   Notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed during the Interest Period and a 360-day year. Interest on the Class   and Class   Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest accrued as of any Payment Date but not paid on such Payment Date will be due on the next Payment Date, together with interest on such amount at the applicable Interest Rate (to the extent lawful).

    Interest payments on the Notes will generally be made from funds on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Collection Period preceding the related Payment Date (including any Advances made by the Servicer, [amounts paid by the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement] and any funds deposited therein from the Reserve Account [or as draws on the Revolving Liquidity Note] or Payments Ahead withdrawn for application with respect to such Collection Period) remaining after reimbursement of Advances made by the Servicer and payment of the Servicing Fee. Interest payments on all classes of Class A Notes will have the same priority. See "Payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders" in this Prospectus Supplement.

    [In order to issue the Class   Notes bearing interest at a floating rate when the Receivables bear fixed interest rates, the Trust has entered into the Swap Agreement with the Swap Counterparty. Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on each Payment Date the Trust is obligated to pay to the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Class   Notes an amount equal to the amount deemed to accrue on a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class   Notes as of the preceding Payment Date at a fixed rate of interest of  % (the "Class   Notional Rate") calculated on an 30/360 basis (the "Class    Swap Interest Amount"). The amount to be paid by the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Class   Notes on any Payment Date will be the amount of interest that accrued thereon at the related floating interest rate from the preceding Payment Date to such current Payment Date (the "Class   Interest Amount").

    Similarly, the amount to be paid by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Class   Notes on each Payment Date will be an amount equal to the amount deemed to accrue on a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Class   Notes as of the preceding Payment Date at a fixed rate of interest of   % (the "Class   Notional Rate" and, such rate and the Class   Notional Rate, each a "Notional Rate") calculated on a 30/360 basis (the "Class   Swap Interest Amount"). The amount to be paid by the Swap Counterparty in respect of the Class   Notes on any Payment Date will be the amount of interest that accrued thereon at the related floating interest rate from the preceding Payment Date to such current Payment Date (the "Class   Interest Amount").

    Any net amounts payable by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty on any Payment Date will be deducted from Collections for the related Collection Period prior to making any payments of interest or principal of the Notes.]

    Under certain circumstances, the amount available for interest payments could be less than the amount of interest payable on the Class A Notes, in which case each class of Class A Noteholders will

S–43


receive their ratable share (based upon the aggregate amount of such amounts due to such class of Noteholders) of the aggregate amount available to be paid in respect of interest on the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Notes on such Payment Date. See "Payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders" and "Subordination; Reserve Account" in this Prospectus Supplement.

    An Event of Default will occur if the full amount of interest due on any class of Class A Notes is not paid within five days of the related Payment Date. [In addition, the Swap Agreement may be terminated by the Swap Counterparty (which event would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture) if the Swap Counterparty does not receive the Class A-3 Swap Interest Amount within five days of the related Payment Date. The Swap Agreement also may be terminated by the Trust (by action taken in accordance with the vote of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes) if the Swap Counterparty does not pay to the Trust the Class A-3 Interest Amount within five days of the Payment Date on which such amounts are due.] See "Description of Notes—The Indenture—Events of Default; Rights upon Event of Default" [and "Description of the Swap Agreement"] herein.

Payments of Principal

    Principal payments generally will be made to the Noteholders on each Payment Date commencing            , in an aggregate amount equal to the amount deposited in the Principal Distribution Account on such Payment Date. See "Payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders" in this Prospectus Supplement. Principal payments generally will be made to holders of each class of Class A Notes in sequential order until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default that results in acceleration of the Notes, principal payments to holders of all classes of Class A Notes will be made on a pro rata basis, based on their outstanding principal balances.

    [If any class of notes has a revolving period (a "Revolving Period"), no payments of principal will be made to Noteholders during the Revolving Period. Payments of principal to Noteholders will commence upon the conclusion of the Revolving Period, or if applicable, upon the occurrence of an event of default which results in early amortization.]

    The principal balance of each class of Notes will be due on the Final Scheduled Payment Date indicated on the front cover of this Prospectus Supplement (the "Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date," the "Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date" and the "Class A-3 Final Scheduled Payment Date", respectively). The actual date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any class of Notes is paid may be earlier than the respective Final Scheduled Payment Dates set forth above based on a variety of factors, including those described under "Prepayment and Yield Considerations" and "Weighted Average Life of the Notes" in this Prospectus Supplement and in the Prospectus.

Indenture

    Events of Default; Rights Upon Event of Default.  Upon an "Event of Default" (which term is defined in the Prospectus[, but as used in this Prospectus Supplement also includes termination of the Swap Agreement in connection with any Swap Event of Default or Swap Termination Event]), the Noteholders will have the rights set forth in the Prospectus under "Description of the Notes—The Indenture—Events of Default; Rights Upon Event of Default." The Indenture Trustee may sell the Receivables subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture following an Event of Default under the Indenture, including a default in the payment of any unpaid principal of a class of Notes on its Final Scheduled Payment Date or a default for five days or more in the payment of any interest on any Note[, and will liquidate the assets of the Trust in connection with any termination of the Swap Agreement]. In the case of an Event of Default not involving any such default in payment [and not involving any termination of the Swap Agreement], the Indenture Trustee is prohibited from selling the

S–44


Receivables unless one of the conditions set forth in the Prospectus under "Description of the Notes—The Indenture—Events of Default; Rights Upon Event of Default" has been satisfied. In the event of a sale of the Receivables by the Indenture Trustee following an Event of Default, the Noteholders will receive notice and an opportunity to submit a bid in respect of such sale.

Notices

    Noteholders of record will be notified in writing by the Indenture Trustee of any Event of Default[, any Swap Event of Default, and Swap Termination Event,] or termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer promptly upon a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Sale and Servicing Agreement) obtaining actual knowledge thereof. While Notes are held in book-entry form, these notices will be delivered by the Indenture Trustee to The Depository trust Company ("DTC"). If Notes are issued in definitive form, these notices will mailed to the addresses provided to the Indenture Trustee by the holders of record as of the relevant record date. Such notices will be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery to DTC or mailing.

    [For so long as any Notes are listed on the [exchange] and the rules of the exchange so require, notices to Noteholders will be given by publication in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in [jurisdiction] [or, if publication in [jurisdiction] is not practical, in Europe]. Such publication is expected to be made in the [publication]. In addition, if Notes are issued other than in book-entry form, such notices will be mailed to the addresses of Noteholders as they appear in the register maintained by the Indenture Trustee prior to such mailing. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or mailing.]

Prescription

    In the event that any Noteholder shall not surrender its Notes for retirement within six months after the date specified in the written notice given by the Indenture Trustee of the date for final payment thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Noteholders to surrender their Notes for retirement and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one year after such second notice any Notes shall not have been surrendered, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain subject to the Indenture. Any funds remaining unclaimed after exhaustion of such remedies shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee to a charity specified in the Indenture.

Governing Law

    The Indenture[, Swap Agreement] and the Notes are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York [and the Revolving Liquidity Note and the Demand Note are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California] applicable to agreements made in and to be performed wholly within such jurisdiction.


DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

General

    The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. A copy of the Trust Agreement will be filed with the SEC [and the Luxembourg and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges] following the issuance of the Securities. The Certificates will evidence undivided ownership interests in the Trust created pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The following summary describes certain terms of the Certificates and the Trust Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Certificates and the Trust Agreement. The following

S–45


summary supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the Certificates of any given series and the related Trust Agreement set forth in the Prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made.

Payments of Interest

    On each Payment Date, commencing            , the Certificateholders will be entitled to interest payments in an amount up to the amount of interest that accrued on the Certificate Balance for the related Interest Period at the Pass Through Rate. The Certificates will constitute Fixed Rate Securities, as such term is defined under "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Fixed Rate Securities" in the Prospectus. Interest in respect of a Payment Date will accrue during the related Interest Period and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest payments due for any Payment Date but not paid on such Payment Date will be due on the next Payment Date increased by an amount equal to interest on such amount at the Pass Through Rate (to the extent lawful). Interest payments with respect to the Certificates will generally be funded from amounts available therefor after payment of the Servicing Fee and payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

Payments of Principal

    On each Payment Date, Certificateholders will be entitled to principal payments only after the principal balance of the Notes have been reduced to zero, in an amount equal to the amount deposited in the Principal Distribution Account and available therefor.

Notices

    Certificateholders will be notified in writing by the Trustee of any Event of Default or termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer promptly upon a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Agreement) obtaining actual knowledge thereof. Except with respect to the monthly and annual statements to Certificateholders and Servicing Reports described herein, the Trustee is not obligated under the Agreement to forward any other notices to the Certificateholders. There are no provisions in the Agreement for the regular or special meetings of Certificateholders.

Prescription

    In the event that any Certificateholder shall not surrender its Certificates for retirement within six months after the date specified in written notice given by the Trustee of the date for final payment thereof, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for retirement and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one year after such second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be paid by the Trustee to a charity specified in the Agreement.

Governing Law

    The Agreement and the Certificates are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made in and to be performed wholly within such jurisdiction.

S–46



PAYMENTS TO NOTEHOLDERS AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

    On the second Business Day preceding each Payment Date (each, a "Determination Date"), the Servicer will inform the Owner Trustee of, among other things, the amount of funds collected on or in respect of the Receivables, the amount of Advances to be made by and reimbursed to the Servicer and the Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation payable to the Servicer, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine the Class   Swap Interest Amount, the Class   Interest Amount, the Class   Swap Interest Amount and the Class   Interest Amount, the Principal Distribution Amount and, based on the available funds and other amounts available for payment on the related Payment Date as described below, the amount of any draws to be made on the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amounts to be distributed to the Noteholders and the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, and the amounts payable to the Swap Counterparty].

    On or before each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will cause Payments Ahead previously deposited in the Payahead Account or held by the Servicer in respect of the related Collection Period to be transferred to the Collection Account.

    The Owner Trustee will make payments to the Noteholders and Certificateholders out of the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. The amounts to be distributed to the Noteholders and Certificateholders will be determined in the manner described below.

Calculation of Available Collections

    The amount of funds available for payment on a Payment Date ([without taking account of amounts held in the Reserve Account] [without taking into account amounts available to be drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note or withdrawn from the Reserve Account, if available]) ("Available Collections") will generally be the sum of the following amounts with respect to the Collection Period preceding such Payment Date or, in the case of the first payment date, the period from       through the last day of the calendar month preceding such payment date:

    (i)
    all collections on or in respect of the Receivables other than Defaulted Receivables (including Payments Ahead being applied in such Collection Period but excluding Payments Ahead to be applied in one or more future Collection Periods);

    (ii)
    all proceeds of the liquidation of Defaulted Receivables, net of expenses incurred by the Servicer in accordance with its customary servicing procedures in connection with such liquidation, including amounts received in subsequent Collection Periods ("Net Liquidation Proceeds");

    (iii)
    all Advances made by the Servicer;

    (iv)
    [the amount (if positive) of any payment (including any swap termination payment) to be made by the Swap Counterparty to the Trust on such Payment Date, net of any payment (including any swap termination payment) to be made by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty on such Payment Date, in each case calculated pursuant to the Swap Agreement;] and

    (v)
    all Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables repurchased by the Seller and Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables purchased by the Servicer, in each case in respect of such Collection Period.

    Available Collections on any Payment Date will exclude [(i) the amount (if positive) of any payment to be made by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty on such Payment Date, net of any payment to be made by the Swap Counterparty to the Trust on such Payment Date, in each case calculated pursuant to the Swap Agreement], (ii) amounts received on a particular Receivable (other than a Defaulted Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer has previously made an unreimbursed Advance in

S–47


respect of such Receivable, (iii) Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a particular Receivable to the extent of unreimbursed Advances in respect of such Receivable, (iv) recoveries from collections with respect to Advances that the Servicer has determined are unlikely to be repaid, (v) late fees, extension fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges collected by the Servicer and (vi) any rebates of unearned interest charges with respect to Precomputed Receivables. [Available Collections on any Payment Date following the termination of the Swap Agreement will exclude an amount equal to the amount of any Swap Termination Payment due from the Trust to the Swap Counterparty, but will include an amount equal to the amount of any Swap Termination Payment due from the Swap Counterparty to the Trust.] [Notwithstanding the foregoing, Available Collections that occur during any Revolving Period will be used to reinvest in subsequent receivables.]

    A "Defaulted Receivable" will be a Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) as to which (a) all or any part of a Scheduled Payment is 150 or more days past due and the Servicer has not repossessed the related Financed Vehicle or (b) the Servicer has, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely and has either repossessed and liquidated the related Financed Vehicle or repossessed and held the related Financed Vehicle in its repossession inventory for 90 days, whichever occurs first. The principal balance of any Receivable that becomes a Defaulted Receivable will be deemed to be zero as of the date it becomes a Defaulted Receivable.

Calculation of Principal Distribution Amount

    "Principal Distribution Amount" means, with respect to any Payment Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the Pool Balance as of the end of the Collection Period preceding the related Collection Period, or as of the Cutoff Date, in the case of the first Collection Period, over (b) the Pool Balance as of the end of the related Collection Period, together with any portion of the Principal Distribution Amount that was to be deposited into the Principal Distribution Account on any prior Payment Date but was not because sufficient funds were not available to make such deposit; provided, however, that the Principal Distribution Amount shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes and Certificates on such Payment Date (prior to giving effect to any principal payments made on such Payment Date); and provided, further, that (i) the Principal Distribution Amount on the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date shall not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes to zero; (ii) the Principal Distribution Amount on the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date shall not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-2 Notes to zero; (iii), the Principal Distribution Amount on the Class A-3 Final Scheduled Payment Date shall not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-3 Notes to zero; and (iv) the Principal Distribution Amount on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for the Certificates shall not be less than the amount that is necessary to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Certificates to zero. [Notwithstanding to foregoing, the Principal Distribution Amount that occurs during any Revolving Period will be used to reinvest in subsequent receivables.]

Payments

    On each Payment Date, from Available Collections for the related Collection Period and amounts [drawn down under the Revolving Liquidity Notes or, if applicable,] withdrawn from the Reserve Account, the Trust will make the following payments in the following order of priority:

    1.
    Servicing Fee—the Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer;

    2.
    Class A Note Interest—on a pro rata basis, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Notes, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (2) on any prior Payment Date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not

S–48


      available to make such payment (with interest accrued on such unpaid amounts at the rate or rates at which interest accrued on the related Notes during the relevant accrual period or periods);

    3.
    Certificate Interest—accrued and unpaid interest on the Certificates, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (3) on any prior Payment Date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not available to make such payment (with interest accrued on such unpaid amounts at the rate at which interest accrued on the Certificates during the relevant accrual period or periods);

    4.
    Allocation of Principal—to the Principal Distribution Account, the Principal Distribution Amount;

    5.
    Reserve Account Deposit—to the Reserve Account, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds therein to equal the required balance described under "Reserve Account" below; and

    [6.
    Reserve Account Deposit and/or Revolving Liquidity Note Repayment—to the extent the reserve account is required to be funded and amounts then on deposit therein are less than the specified reserve account balance described below under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account", to the reserve account until the amount on deposit therein equals such specified reserve account balance. Thereafter, if amounts have been drawn under the revolving liquidity note as described below under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account", to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in repayment of such amounts, and then in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on amounts so drawn; and]

    7.
    Excess Amounts—any remaining amounts in the Collection Account will be distributed to the Seller as payment on the Subordinated Seller's Interest [or, during the Revolving Period, to purchase additional receivables. If the trust has a revolving period, the transfer and servicing agreements will provide for daily allocations for the purchase of additional receivables.].

    [During the Revolving Period, principal will not be paid to Securitiyholders, but will be reinvested by the Trust in additional receivables.] [During the Amortization Period, on each Payment Date, from the amounts deposited into the Principal Distribution Account from the allocations of principal described in clause (4) above, the Trust will pay principal of the Notes in the following priority:

    1.
    to the Class A-1 Notes until an amount equal to the principal balance thereof has been paid;

    2.
    to the Class A-2 Notes until an amount equal to the principal balance thereof has been paid;

    3.
    to the Class A-3 Notes until an amount equal to the principal balance thereof has been paid;

    4.
    to the Certificates, until an amount equal to the principal balance thereof has been paid;

    5.
    after the Notes and Certificates are paid in full, to the Subordinated Seller's Interest any remaining funds.]

Payments after Occurrence of Event of Default and Acceleration

    After an Event of Default specified in the Indenture [relating to any payment default under the Revolving Liquidity Note, the termination of the Swap Agreement,] [an Amortization Event specified in the      ,][an early termination of the Revolving Period due to an Amortization Event,] a default in the payment of interest on any Notes (if it lasts 5 days or more) or in the payment of any principal of any class of Notes on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date, as to which the Noteholders direct the Trustee to accelerate the Notes, the Trust will make the following payments in the following order of priority from Available Collections for the related Collection Period [and, if necessary and available,

S–49


from amounts drawn down under the revolving liquidity note (or, if applicable, withdrawn from the Reserve Account)]:

    1.
    Servicing Fee—the Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer;

    2.
    Class A Note Interest—on a pro rata basis, accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Notes, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (2) on any prior Payment Date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not available to make such payment (with interest accrued on such unpaid amounts at the rate or rates at which interest accrued on the related Notes during the relevant accrual period or periods);

    3.
    Certificate Interest—accrued and unpaid interest on the Certificates, together with any amounts that were to be paid pursuant to this clause (3) on any prior Payment Date but were not paid because sufficient funds were not available to make such payment (with interest accrued on such unpaid amounts at the rate at which interest accrued on the Certificates during the relevant accrual period or periods);

    4.
    Allocation of Principal—to all Class A Noteholders on a pro rata basis, until the outstanding principal balance of each such class of Notes has been reduced to zero, and then to the Certificateholders until the outstanding principal balance of the Certificates has been reduced to zero;

    5.
    Excess Amounts—any remaining amounts in the Collection Account will be distributed [first, if amounts have been drawn under the revolving liquidity note as described below under "Revolving Liquidity Note and Reserve Account", to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation in repayment of such amounts, then in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on amounts so drawn, and thereafter] to the Seller as payment on the Subordinated Seller's Interest.


SUBORDINATION; RESERVE ACCOUNT

    The rights of the Noteholders [and Certificateholders] to receive payments with respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Servicer to receive the Servicing Fee, any additional servicing compensation as described under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation" in this Prospectus Supplement, [the right of the swap counterparty to receive payments to be made to it by the Issuer under the Swap Agreement] and the reimbursement of Advances.

Subordination

    As long as any Notes remain outstanding, [on each payment date: (i) all deposits into the reserve account will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes, (ii) repayment of amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note (and interest accrued thereon) will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes and any required deposits into the reserve account, (iii) repayment of interest accrued on amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes, any required deposits into the reserve account and repayment of amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note and (iv) payments on the Subordinated Seller's Interest will be subordinated to payments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes, any required deposits into the reserve account and repayment of amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note (and interest accrued thereon).] [payments on the Certificates and the Subordinated Seller's Interest will be subordinated to payments of interest and principal on the Notes as described above, under "Payments to Noteholders and Certificateholders."]

S–50


[Reserve Account

    The Noteholders will have the benefit of the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account will be a segregated trust account held by the Indenture Trustee. Any amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account will be owned by the Seller, subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to withdraw such amounts as described below, and any investment earnings thereon will be taxable to the Seller for federal income tax purposes. On the Closing Date, the Seller will deposit $      (      % of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date) into the Reserve Account for the Trust.

    On each Payment Date, if Available Collections are insufficient to pay the first four items listed under "Payments to Noteholders—Payments" above (excluding amounts payable to the Certificateholders), the Indenture Trustee will withdraw funds (if available) from the Reserve Account to pay those amounts.

    If the principal balance of a class of Notes is not paid in full on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw amounts from the Reserve Account (if available) to pay that class in full.

    The amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account at the close of business on any Payment Date (the "Specified Reserve Account Balance") will be the greater of (a)    % of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables as of the end of the related Collection Period or (b) $      (   % of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date); provided however, that if, on any Payment Date (x) the average of the Charge-off Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods exceeds   % or (y) the average of the Delinquency Percentages for the three preceding Collection Periods exceeds   %, the Specified Reserve Account Balance will be the greatest of (a)    % of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables as of the end of the related Collection Period, (b) $      (   % of the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date) and (c)    % of the Class A Note Balance as of such Payment Date (after giving effect to any principal payments made on the Securities on such Payment Date); provided further, that the Specified Reserve Balance with respect to any date shall not exceed the sum of the Class A Note Balance as of the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to any principal payments made on the Securities on such preceding Payment Date).

    As of any Payment Date, the amount of funds actually on deposit in the Reserve Account may, in certain circumstances, be less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each Payment Date, the Trust will, to the extent available, deposit the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance to the extent set forth above under "Payments to Noteholders."

    The "Charge-off Rate" with respect to a Collection Period will equal the Aggregate Net Losses with respect to the Receivables that become Defaulted Receivables during that Collection Period expressed, on an annualized basis, as a percentage of the average of (i) the Pool Balance on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and (ii) the Pool Balance on the last day of such Collection Period.

    The "Aggregate Net Losses" with respect to a Collection Period will equal the principal balance of all Receivables newly designated during such Collection Period as Defaulted Receivables minus the sum of (x) Net Liquidation Proceeds collected during such Collection Period with respect to all Defaulted Receivables and (y) the portion of amounts subsequently received in respect of Receivables liquidated in prior Collection Periods specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    The "Delinquency Percentage" with respect to a Collection Period will equal (a) the number of all outstanding Receivables 61 days or more delinquent (after taking into account permitted extensions) as of the last day of such Collection Period (excluding Receivables as to which the Financed Vehicle has

S–51


been liquidated during that Collection Period), determined in accordance with the Servicer's normal practices, plus (b) the number of repossessed Financed Vehicles that have not been liquidated (to the extent the related Receivable is not otherwise reflected in clause (a) above), expressed as a percentage of the aggregate number of Current Receivables on the last day of such Collection Period.

    A "Current Receivable" will be a Receivable that is not a Defaulted Receivable or a Liquidated Receivable. A "Liquidated Receivable" will be a Receivable that has been the subject of a Prepayment in full or otherwise has been paid in full or, in the case of a Defaulted Receivable, a Receivable as to which the Servicer has determined that the final amounts in respect thereof have been paid.

    The Servicer may, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus Supplement, request each of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (each a "Rating Agency") to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance that is different from those described above or make certain changes with respect to the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. If each Rating Agency delivers a letter to the Owner Trustee to the effect that the use of any such new formulation will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of Notes, then the Specified Reserve Account Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula. The Sale and Servicing Agreement will accordingly be amended, without the consent of any Noteholder, to reflect such new calculation.

    As of the close of business on any Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is greater than the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such Payment Date, subject to certain limitations, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to release and distribute such excess to the Seller. Upon any distribution to the Seller of amounts from the Reserve Account, the Noteholders will have no rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

    Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account may be invested in Eligible Investments. Investment income on monies on deposit in the Reserve Account will not be available for payment to Noteholders or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the Noteholders and will be paid to the Seller. Any loss on such investments will be charged to the Reserve Account.

    After the payment in full, or the provision for such payment, of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account, subject to certain limitations, will be paid to the Seller.]


[REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE AND RESERVE ACCOUNT

    On the Closing Date, the Trust will enter into a revolving liquidity note agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement") with TMCC. Pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Trust will have the right to make draw requests for the purpose of funding the amounts payable as interest on or principal of the Class A Notes to the extent Available Collections are insufficient to make such payments and amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Account are insufficient to fund such shortfalls. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trust will assign its rights under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee will be obligated to make such draws. Pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, TMCC, as holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, will be obligated to fund such draws as and when requested by the Trust or Indenture Trustee. The Trust will issue the Revolving Liquidity Note to TMCC to evidence the Trust's obligation to repay any draws funded by TMCC, together with interest accrued on such funded draws at a rate of    % per annum, and the Indenture, Sale and Servicing Agreement and Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement will provide that such repayments will be made in accordance with the priority of payments described above under "Description of the Notes—Payments" and "—Payments After Occurrence of Event of Default or Acceleration".

S–52


    The aggregate of amounts that may be so drawn and outstanding under the Revolving Liquidity Note is $      (   % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the Cutoff Date). The Trust will be obligated to repay amounts so drawn and interest accrued thereon on subsequent Payment Dates from amounts available for such purposes in accordance with the payment priorities described above under "Payments to Noteholders—Payments". The amounts available to be drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be reduced by amounts previously drawn, and increased (up to the initial balance thereof of $      ) by amounts so repaid. On any Payment Date, the repayment of amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note and payment of interest on such drawn amounts will be subordinated to the payment of interest and principal on the Class A Notes on such Payment Date and to any deposit into the Reserve Account of any amount required to be deposited therein on such Payment Date.

    If TMCC's short-term unsecured debt rating falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P) or if TMCC fails to fund any amount properly drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note, then the Indenture will require the Indenture Trustee to demand payment of the entire undrawn amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note, which amounts, if funded, will be applied first to fund any shortfalls in payments of interest on or principal of the Class A Notes, with the remainder to be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. If such event occurs, thereafter the Reserve Account must be maintained as detailed below.

    The Reserve Account will be a segregated Trust account established on the Closing Date and held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Any amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account will be owned by the Seller, subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to withdraw such amounts as described below, and any investment earnings thereon will be taxable to the Seller for federal income tax purposes. Except as described below, no funds will be available from, and no amounts will be deposited into, the Reserve Account.

    Following the occurrence of the down-grade event referred to in the preceding paragraph, or failure of TMCC to fund the amount drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note, as described above, the Reserve Account will be required to have on deposit at the close of business on any Payment Date $      (   % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the Cutoff Date). Whether or not any such event has occurred, if charge-offs or delinquencies exceed specified levels, the aggregate amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account will be the greater of (i) $      (   % of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the Cutoff Date) and (ii)    % of the outstanding principal balance of the notes as of such Payment Date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on such date), less the amounts then available to be drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note. The amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account on any date of determination pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences is referred to as the "Specified Reserve Account Balance". Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Specified Reserve Account Balance with respect to any date shall not exceed the outstanding principal balances of all outstanding classes of Class A Notes as of the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to any principal payments made on the Notes on such preceding Payment Date).

    On or before each Payment Date, if collections on the receivables, any net swap payments to the Trust and Advances by the Servicer are insufficient to pay the first three items listed under "Payment to Noteholders—Payments" above, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw funds (if available) from the Reserve Account, and then, to the extent necessary and to the extent there is an undrawn balance thereunder, draw on the Revolving Liquidity Note to pay those amounts.

    If the principal balance of a class of Notes is not paid in full on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will withdraw amounts (if available) from the Reserve Account,

S–53


and then, to the extent necessary and to the extent there is an undrawn balance thereunder, draw on the Revolving Liquidity Note to pay that class in full.

    On each Payment Date, the Trust will (x) to the extent required as described above, deposit, to the extent available, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance described above and thereafter (y) repay to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the principal amounts drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note (and when all principal has been paid, interest thereon) that have not been repaid, in each case, after all other distributions are made on the Notes.

    As of any Payment Date, the amount of funds actually on deposit in the Reserve Account may, in certain circumstances, be less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each Payment Date, the Trust will, to the extent available, deposit the amount, if any, necessary to cause the balance of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance to the extent set forth above under "Payments to Noteholders."

    The Servicer may, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus Supplement, request each of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") (each a "Rating Agency") to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance that is different from that described above or make certain changes with respect to the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. If S&P delivers a letter to the Owner Trustee to the effect that the use of any such new formulation will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of Notes, and the Owner Trustee has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee and/or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, that such amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any class of Notes, then the Specified Reserve Account Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula. The Sale and Servicing Agreement will accordingly be amended, without the consent of any Noteholder, to reflect such new calculation.

    As of the close of business on any Payment Date on which the amount of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account is greater than the Specified Reserve Account Balance for such Payment Date, the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to release and distribute such excess first, to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note until all funds drawn and interest accrued thereon have been repaid (in that order), and then to release the remainder to the Seller in respect of the Subordinated Seller's Interest. Upon any distribution of such excess amounts to repay funded draws and interest on the Revolving Liquidity Note or to the Seller, the Noteholders will have no rights in, or claims to, such amounts (except insofar as the undrawn amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note remains available therefor).

    Funds on deposit in the Reserve Account may be invested in Eligible Investments. Investment income on monies on deposit in the Reserve Account will not be available for payment to Noteholders or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the Noteholders and will be paid to the Seller. Any loss on such investments will be charged to the Reserve Account.

    After the payment in full, or the provision for such payment, of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Notes and (iii) payment in full of the Revolving Liquidity Note, any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account, subject to certain limitations, will be paid to the Seller.]

TRANSFER AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS

The Transfer and Servicing Agreements

    The description of the terms of the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the Trust Agreement (collectively, the "Transfer and Servicing Agreements") in this Prospectus Supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Forms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement. Copies of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements will be filed with the SEC [and the Luxembourg and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges] following the issuance of the Securities. Any description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements herein supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements set forth in the Prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made.

Sale and Assignment of Receivables

    Certain information with respect to the conveyance of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust on the Closing Date pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement is set forth under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables" in the Prospectus.

Accounts

    In addition to the accounts referred to under "Description of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Accounts" in the Prospectus, the Seller will also establish and will maintain with the Indenture Trustee the Reserve Account for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Reserve Account will not be an asset of the Trust. The Servicer will establish the Payahead Account with the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholders. The Payahead Account will not be an asset of the Trust. The Indenture Trustee will establish an administrative subaccount within the Collection Account entitled the Principal Distribution Account (the "Principal Distribution Account"), for the benefit of the Noteholders and Certificateholders.

Servicing Compensation

    The Servicing Fee with respect to each Collection Period will be one-twelfth of 1.00% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") of the Pool Balance as of the first day of the related Collection Period or, in the case of the first Payment Date, the Initial Pool Balance, and will be paid to the Servicer as described under "Payments to Noteholders" in this Prospects Supplement. The Servicer will be entitled to collect and retain as additional servicing compensation in respect of each Collection Period any late fees, extension fees and any other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges collected during such Collection Period, plus any investment earnings or interest earned during such Collection Period from the investment of monies on deposit in the Collection Account or Payahead Account. See "—Collections" below and "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the Prospectus.

Collections

    The Servicer generally may retain all payments on or in respect of the Receivables received from Obligors and all proceeds of Receivables collected during each Collection Period without segregation in its own accounts until deposited in the Collection Account on the related Payment Date. However, if (i) TMCC ceases to be the Servicer, (ii) an Event of Default exists and is continuing under the Indenture [or, with respect to any Revolving Period, an Event of Default occurs which results in early amortization] or (iii) the short-term unsecured debt of TMCC ceases to be rated at least P-1 by Moody's and A-1 by S&P, and alternative arrangements acceptable to the Rating Agencies are not

S–55


made, the Servicer will deposit all such payments and proceeds into the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after receipt. Pending deposit into the Collection Account, the Servicer may invest collections at its own risk and for its own benefit. Such amounts will not be segregated from its own funds. The Servicer, at its own risk and for its own benefit, may instruct the Owner Trustee to invest amounts held in the Collection Account or Payahead Account in Eligible Investments from the time deposited until the related Payment Date. The Seller, at its own risk and for its own benefit, may instruct the Indenture Trustee to invest amounts held in the Reserve Fund, if any, in Eligible Investments from each Payment Date (or the Closing Date) to the next Payment Date. The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, will remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments of any Receivables to be purchased from the Trust into the Collection Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. See "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Collections" in the Prospectus.

    "Eligible Investments" will be specified in the Indenture and will be limited to investments which meet the criteria of each Rating Agency from time to time as being consistent with its then-current ratings of the Securities.

    Collections on or in respect of a Receivable made during a Collection Period (including Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments) which are not late fees, extension fees or certain other similar fees or charges will be applied first to any outstanding Advances made by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable, and then to the related Scheduled Payment. Any collections on or in respect of a Receivable remaining after such applications will be considered an "Excess Payment". Excess Payments constituting a prepayment in full of Precomputed Receivables and any Excess Payments relating to Simple Interest Receivables will be applied as a prepayment in respect of such Receivable (each, a "Prepayment"). All other Excess Payments in respect of Precomputed Receivables will be held by the Servicer (or if any of the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) in the second preceding paragraph is not satisfied, deposited in the Payahead Account), as a Payment Ahead. See "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Collections" in the Prospectus.

Advances

    The Servicer will be required to make Advances in respect of Scheduled Payments that are not received in full by the end of the month in which they are due to the extent described under "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Advances" in the Prospectus, unless the Servicer determines, in its sole discretion, that such Advances will not be recoverable from certain collections available to reimburse such Advances. Under certain circumstances, if the Servicer determines that reimbursement from such collections is unlikely, the Servicer will be entitled to recover unreimbursed Advances from collections on or in respect of other Receivables. See "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Advances" in the Prospectus.

    The Servicer will make all Advances by depositing into the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Precomputed Advances and Simple Interest Advances due in respect of a Collection Period on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date.

Net Deposits

    As an administrative convenience, unless the Servicer is required to remit collections daily as described in "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Collections" in the Prospectus, the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections, aggregate Advances and amounts deposited in respect of purchases of Receivables by the Seller or the Servicer for or with respect to the related Collection Period net of payments to be made to the Servicer with respect to such Collection Period. [In addition, so long as TMCC or an affiliate thereof is both the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty and the Servicer is not required to remit collections daily as described in "—Collections"

S–56


above, the Servicer will be permitted to (i) deduct any amounts owed by the Trust to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer and (ii) add any amounts owed by the Swap Counterparty to the Trust under the Swap Agreement to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer. In addition, for so long as TMCC or an affiliate thereof is both the Servicer and the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note and the Servicer is not required to remit collections daily as described in "—Collections" above, the Servicer will be permitted to (i) deduct any amounts payable to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note in accordance with the priority of payments described above under "Description of the Notes—Payments" and "—Payments After Occurrence of Event of Default" from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer and (ii) add any amounts required to be drawn on the Revolving Liquidity Note by the Trust to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer, and any such payments will be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to fund such draws by the Trust pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement.] The Servicer, however, will account to the Owner Trustee and to the Certificateholders as if all of the foregoing deposits and payments were made individually. See "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Net Deposits" in the Prospectus.

Optional Purchase

    The outstanding Notes and the Certificates will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Receivables. The Servicer may purchase the Receivables on any payment Date when the Pool Balance shall have declined to 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, as described in the Prospectus under "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Termination". The "Redemption Price" for the outstanding Notes will be equal to the unpaid principal amount of the outstanding Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and for the Certificates will equal the Certificate Balance on the date of such optional purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, [plus any amount payable by the trust to the Swap Counterparty under the swap agreement].

Removal of Servicer

    The Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes (voting as a single class and excluding any Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any Affiliate thereof), may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or waive any Servicer Default without the consent of any Certificateholder or the holder of the Subordinated Seller's Interest, if a Servicer Default occurs.

    Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

    For more information regarding removal of the Servicer, see "Description of Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Rights upon Servicer Default" in the Prospectus.


THE OWNER TRUSTEE AND INDENTURE TRUSTEE

    [            ] will be the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement. As a matter of [New York] law, the Trust will be viewed as a separate legal entity, distinct from the Owner Trustee, and the Trust will be viewed as the issuer of the Securities. [            ] will be the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and any of their respective affiliates may hold Securities in their own names or as pledgees. For the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of certain jurisdictions, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly (or in some instances, the Owner Trustee acting alone) will have the power to appoint co-trustees or separate trustees of all or any part of the Trust. In the event of such an appointment, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred

S–57


or imposed upon the Owner Trustee by the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement will be conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee and each such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, or, in any jurisdiction in which the Owner Trustee will be incompetent or unqualified to perform certain acts, singly upon such separate trustee or co-trustee who will exercise and perform such rights, powers, duties and obligations solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee.

    The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may resign at any time and, under the Trust Agreement,            will be required to resign as Owner Trustee if any Event of Default under the Indenture occurs. If the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee resigns, the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor thereto. TMCC as administrator under the Administration Agreement may also remove the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee if either ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, as the case may be, becomes legally unable to act (including, but not limited to, pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the occurrence of an Event of Default) or becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as applicable. Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor thereto will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor.

    The Trust Agreement will provide that the Servicer will pay the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee in connection with their duties under the Trust Agreement and Indenture, respectively. The Trust Agreement and Indenture will further provide that the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee will be entitled to indemnification by TMCC for, and will be held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee not resulting from its own willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than by reason of a breach of any of its representations or warranties to be set forth in the Trust Agreement or Indenture, as the case may be).

Duties of the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee

    The Owner Trustee will make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Trust Agreement, the Certificates (other than the execution and authentication thereof), the Notes or of any Receivables or related documents. The Owner Trustee will not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Seller or the Servicer in respect of the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables, or the investment of any monies by the Servicer before such monies are deposited into the Collection Account or Payahead Account. The Owner Trustee will not independently verify the Receivables. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Owner Trustee will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under the Trust Agreement. Generally, those duties will be limited to the receipt of the various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Trust Agreement, in which case it will only be required to examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Trust Agreement. The Owner Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of a failure by the Servicer to perform its duties under the Trust Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement unless the Owner Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure as will be specified in the Trust Agreement.

    The Owner Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Trust Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising thereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Owner Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. No Certificateholder will have any right under the Trust Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Trust Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Owner Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an event of default under the Trust Agreement and (i) the event of default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or (ii) the holders of

S–58


Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of the Certificates have made written request upon the Owner Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as the Owner Trustee thereunder and have offered to the Owner Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Owner Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings.

    The Indenture Trustee will make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Certificates, the Notes (other than the execution and authentication thereof) or of any Receivables or related documents, and will not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Seller or the Servicer in respect of the Notes, the Certificates or the Receivables, or the investment of any monies by the Servicer before such monies are deposited into the Collection Account or Payahead Account. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under the Indenture. Generally, those duties will be limited to the receipt of the various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, in which case it will only be required to examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of a failure by the Servicer to perform its duties under the Trust Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement or of TMCC to perform its duties under the Administration Agreement, unless the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure as will be specified in the Indenture.

    The Indenture Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture or to make any investigation of matters arising thereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, unless such Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. No Noteholder will have any right under the Indenture to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, unless such holder previously has given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and (i) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or (ii) the holders of the Notes (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC or any of its affiliates), evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of each such class of Notes, have made written request upon the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as the Indenture Trustee thereunder and have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Indenture Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings. See "Description of the Notes—The Indenture" in this Prospectus Supplement.


[THE SWAP AGREEMENT

    The following summary describes certain terms of the Swap Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Swap Agreement.

Payments Under the Swap Agreement

    On the Closing Date the Trust will enter into a 1992 International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreement (Multi Currency-Cross Border) (such agreement, the "1992 Master Agreement") with the Swap Counterparty, as modified to reflect the transactions described below (the 1992 Master Agreement, as so modified, the "Swap Agreement"). The Swap Agreement will incorporate certain relevant standard definitions in the 2000 ISDA Definitions and the Annex to the 2000 ISDA Definitions published by ISDA. Under the Swap Agreement, the Trust will generally pay to the Swap Counterparty amounts equal to the Class   Swap Interest Amount and Class   Swap Interest Amount due on each Payment Date and the Swap Counterparty will generally pay to the Trust amounts equal to the Class  Interest Amount and Class   Interest Amount due on such Payment Date; provided that if the Trust is unable to make any payment due to be made by it to the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, the Swap Counterparty will not be obligated to make its corresponding payment to the Trust under the Swap Agreement.

S–59


    Unless the Swap Agreement is terminated early as described below under "—Early Termination of Swap Agreement," the Swap Agreement will terminate (i) with respect to the Class   Notes on the earlier of (x) the Class   Final Scheduled Payment Date and (y) the date on which the principal balance of the Class   Notes has been reduced to zero, and (ii) with respect to the Class   Notes on the earlier of (x) the Class    Final Scheduled Payment Date and (y) the date on which the principal balance of the Class   Notes has been reduced to zero.

Conditions Precedent

    The respective obligations of the Swap Counterparty and the Trust to pay certain amounts due under the Swap Agreement will be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) no Swap Event of Default (as defined below under "—Defaults Under Swap Agreement") or event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become a Swap Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) no Early Termination Date (as defined below under "—Early Termination of Swap Agreement") shall have occurred or been effectively designated.

Defaults Under Swap Agreement

    Events of default under the Swap Agreement (each, a "Swap Event of Default") are limited to: (i) the failure of the Trust or the Swap Counterparty to pay any amount when due under the Swap Agreement after giving effect to any applicable grace period; (ii) the occurrence of certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust or the Swap Counterparty; and (iii) certain other standard events of default under the 1992 Master Agreement including "Breach of Agreement," [(not applicable to the Trust),] "Misrepresentation" (not applicable to the Trust) and "Merger without Assumption," as described in Sections 5(a)(ii), 5(a)(iv) and 5(a)(viii) of the 1992 Master Agreement.

Swap Termination Events

    "Swap Termination Events" under the Swap Agreement consist of the following: (i) certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust or Swap Counterparty; (ii) any Event of Default under the Indenture that results in the acceleration of the Notes or involving an uncured payment default; (iii) the Trust or Swap Counterparty becomes subject to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and (iv) certain standard termination events under the 1992 Master Agreement including "Illegality" (which generally relates to changes in law causing it to become unlawful for either of the parties to perform its obligations under the Swap Agreement), "Tax Event" (which generally relates to either party to the Swap Agreement receiving payments thereunder from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of certain taxes) and "Tax Event Upon Merger" (which generally relates to a party to the Swap Agreement receiving a payment under the Swap Agreement from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of certain taxes as a result of a party merging with another entity), each as more fully described in Sections 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii) of the 1992 Master Agreement.

Early Termination of Swap Agreement

    Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Swap Event of Default, the non-defaulting party will have the right to designate an "Early Termination Date" (as defined in the Swap Agreement). On the Early Termination Date, the Swap Agreement will terminate. With respect to Swap Termination Events, an Early Termination Date may be designated by one or both of the parties (as specified in the Swap Agreement with respect to each Swap Termination Event) and will occur only upon notice and, in certain cases, after the party causing the Swap Termination Event has used reasonable efforts to transfer its rights and obligations under such Swap Agreement to a related entity within a limited period after notice has been given of the Swap Termination Event, all as set forth in the Swap Agreement. The occurrence of an Early Termination Date under the Swap Agreement will constitute a "Swap Termination."

S–60


    The Owner Trustee will assign its rights under the Swap Agreement to the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Owner Trustee's pledge of the assets of the Trust as collateral for the Notes. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of (i) any Swap Event of Default arising from any action taken, or failure to act, by the Swap Counterparty, or (ii) any Swap Termination Event (except as described in the following sentence) with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is an Affected Party, the Indenture Trustee may and will, at the direction of holders of Class   , Class   and Class   Notes evidencing 51% or more of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all such classes voting as a single class, by notice to the Swap Counterparty, designate an Early Termination Date with respect to the Swap Agreement. If a Swap Termination Event occurs (i) as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust or the Swap Counterparty or (ii) because the Trust or the Swap Counterparty becomes subject to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Indenture Trustee will be required by the terms of the Indenture (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement) to terminate the Swap Agreement.

    Upon any Swap Termination, the Trust or the Swap Counterparty may be liable to make a termination payment to the other, in some cases regardless, of which of such parties may have caused such termination (any such payment, a "Swap Termination Payment"). Any Swap Termination Payment will be calculated on the basis that the Trust is the Affected Party (as defined in the Swap Agreement), subject to certain exceptions. The amount of any Swap Termination Payment will be based on the market value of the Swap Agreement computed on the basis of market quotations of the cost of entering into swap transactions with the same terms and conditions that would have the effect of preserving the respective full payment obligations of the parties, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Swap Agreement (assuming, for purposes of such calculation, that all outstanding shortfalls in amounts payable as Class   Swap Interest Amounts and Class   Swap Interest Amounts are due and payable on the first Payment Date that would have occurred after the Early Termination Date). Any Swap Termination Payment could, if interest rates have changed significantly, be substantial.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Swap Agreement is terminated as a result of a Termination Event resulting from the Trust or the Swap Counterparty becoming subject to registration as an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, other than as a result of the amendment of such statue or the regulations promulgated thereunder after the Closing Date, neither party will be required to pay a termination payment.

    A Swap Termination will constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (including any swap termination event) that results in acceleration of the Notes or involving an uncured payment default, the principal of each class of Class A Notes will become immediately payable and the Indenture Trustee will be obligated to liquidate the assets of the Trust. In any such event, the ability of the Trust to pay interest on each class of Notes will depend on (a) the price at which the assets of the Trust are liquidated, (b) the amount of the Swap Termination Payment, if any, which may be due to the Swap Counterparty from the Trust under the Swap Agreement and (c) the amount of the Swap Termination Payment, if any, which may be due to the Trust from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement. In the event that the net proceeds of the liquidation of the assets of the Trust are not sufficient to make all payments due in respect of the Notes and for the Trust to meet its obligations, if any, in respect of the termination of the Swap Agreement, then such amounts will be allocated and applied in accordance with the priority of payments described herein and the claims of the Swap Counterparty in respect of such net proceeds will rank higher in priority than the claims of the Noteholders. See "Description of the Notes" and "Payments on the Notes" in this Prospectus Supplement.

Taxation

    Neither the Trust nor the Swap Counterparty is obligated under the Swap Agreement to gross up if withholding taxes are imposed on payments made under the Swap Agreement. If payments by the Swap Counterparty to the Trust become subject to withholding taxes, holders of Class   , Class   and

S–61


Class   Notes evidencing 51% or more of the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all such classes voting as a single class may direct the Indenture Trustee to terminate the Swap Agreement, as described above under "—Swap Termination Events."

Assignment

    Except as provided below, neither the Trust nor the Swap Counterparty is permitted to assign, novate or transfer as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under the Swap Agreement. The Swap Counterparty may transfer the Swap Agreement to another party on ten Business Days' prior written notice, provided that (i) such notice will be accompanied by a guarantee of the Swap Counterparty of such transferee's obligations in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement), (ii) the Swap Counterparty delivers an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement) confirming that as of the date of such transfer the transferee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Swap Agreement, (iii) a Swap Termination Event or Swap Event of Default does not occur as a result of such transfer and (iv) the then current ratings of the Notes are not adversely affected as a result of such transfer.

    In addition, in the event the long-term debt rating of the Swap Counterparty is reduced to a level below Aa3 by Moody's or AA- by S&P or the short-term debt rating of the Swap Counterparty is reduced to a level below P-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S&P (or, in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P without causing a downgrade in the ratings applicable to the Notes), the Swap Counterparty may, but is not obligated to, (i) collateralize its payment obligation thereunder, provided that (a) a Swap Termination Event or Swap Event of Default does not occur under the Swap Agreement as a result of such collateralization, and (b) if the Swap Counterparty posts collateral, the ratings assigned to the Notes after the posting of such collateral will be at least equal to the ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P (or their successors) to the Notes at time of such reduction of the rating of the Swap Counterparty's long term debt; or (ii) assign the Swap Agreement to another party (or otherwise obtain a replacement swap agreement on substantially the same terms as the Swap Agreement) and thereby be released from its obligations under the Swap Agreement, provided that in the case of an assignment or an implementation of a replacement swap pursuant to clause (ii), (a) the new swap counterparty, by a written instrument, accepts all of the obligations of the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement or enters into a substantially similar swap to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement), (b) the Swap Counterparty delivers an opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement) confirming that as at the date of such transfer the new swap counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer or replacement, be required to withhold or deduct on account of tax under the Swap Agreement, (c) a Swap Termination Event or Swap Event of Default does not occur under the Swap Agreement as a result of such transfer and (d) the ratings assigned to the Notes after such assignment and release will be at least equal to the ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P to the Notes at the time of such reduction of the rating of the Swap Counterparty's long-term debt.

    Any cost of any such transfer or replacement will be borne by the Swap Counterparty or the new swap counterparty and not by the Trust; provided, however that the Swap Counterparty shall not be required to make any payment to the new swap counterparty to obtain an assignment or replacement swap.

    The Swap Counterparty shall have no obligation to collateralize its payment obligations or assign the Swap Agreement, obtain a replacement swap agreement or take any other action satisfactory to the Rating Agencies in the event of a ratings downgrade, and neither the Trust nor the Noteholders will have any remedy against the Swap Counterparty if the Swap Counterparty fails to collateralize its payment obligations or make such an assignment or obtain a replacement swap agreement. In the event

S–62


that the Swap Counterparty does not elect to collateralize its payment obligations or assign the Swap Agreement or obtain a replacement swap agreement the Swap Counterparty may (but shall not be obligated to) establish any other arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Rating Agency, in each case such that the ratings of the Notes by the applicable Rating Agency will not be withdrawn or reduced.

Modification and Amendment of Swap Agreement

    The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Indenture Trustee (as assignee of the rights of the Trust under the Swap Agreement) to enter into any amendment of the Swap Agreement (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provisions or to correct or supplement any provision therein which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein or with the Indenture or (iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Swap Agreement; provided, in the case of clause (iii) that such amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Noteholder. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder if S&P delivers a letter to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that the amendment will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of Notes, and if the Indenture Trustee has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of the amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture or Owner Trustee that the amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any class of Notes.

The Swap Counterparty

    A description of the initial Swap Counterparty is provided under "The Seller and the Servicer" herein and under "The Seller" in the Prospectus. Information regarding the initial Swap Counterparty is publicly available as described under "Where You Can Find More Information About Your Securities" in the Prospectus. Where indicated by the context, as used herein "Swap Counterparty" includes any party that replaces TMCC as Swap Counterparty as described above under "—Assignment."]


ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The Notes

    The Notes may be purchased by an employee benefit plan or an individual retirement account (a "Plan") subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A fiduciary of a Plan must determine that the purchase of a Note is consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. For additional information regarding treatment of the Notes under ERISA and the risks associated with the Notes being treated as "equity interests" under the Plan Asset Regulations, see "ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus.

    Certain exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules could be applicable to the purchase and holding of the Class A Notes by a Plan depending on the type and circumstances of the plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Class A Notes. Potentially available exemptions would include, without limitation, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 90-1, which exempts certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts; PTCE 91-38, which exempts certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds; PTCE 84-14, which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a Plan by a "qualified professional asset manager"; and PTCE 96-23, which exempts certain transactions effected on behalf of a Plan by an "in-house asset manager." Insurance company general accounts should also discuss with their legal counsel the availability of relief under Section 401(c) of ERISA. A purchaser of the Class A Notes should be aware, however, that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are met, the scope of the relief provided by the

S–63


applicable exemption or exemptions might not cover all acts that might be construed as prohibited exemptions.

    The Notes may not be purchased with the assets of a Plan if the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any of their affiliates (a) has investment or administrative discretion with respect to such Plan assets; (b) has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives, investment advice with respect to such Plan assets, for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that such advice (i) will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to such Plan assets and (ii) will be based on the particular investment needs for such Plan; or (c) is an employer maintaining or contributing to such Plan. None of the Class Notes may be purchased with the assets of a Plan if the Seller as holder of the Subordinated Seller's Interest is a fiduciary with respect to those Plan assets and participates in the decision to purchase these Notes.

The Certificates

    The Certificates may not be acquired by a Plan or any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity or which uses plan assets to acquire Certificates (a "Plan Investor"). By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder will be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not subject to the foregoing limitation. In addition, a purchaser of Certificates other than a Plan Investor should be aware that a prohibited Transaction could occur if a Certificateholder (or any of its affiliates) is or becomes a party in interest or a disqualified person with respect to a Plan Investor that purchases and holds any Notes unless covered by one or more applicable exemptions.


CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

    In the opinion of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, special tax counsel to the trust ("Tax Counsel"), under current law and subject to the discussion set forth below, the Trust will not be classified as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Further, with respect to the Notes, Tax Counsel will advise the Trust that the Class [A-2], Class [A-3] and Class [A-4] Notes will be classified as debt for federal income tax purposes. The Noteholders will be deemed to agree, by their purchase of the Notes, to treat the Notes as debt for federal income tax purposes.

    In addition, Tax Counsel has prepared or reviewed the statements under the heading "Summary of Terms—Tax Status" as they relate to federal income tax matters and under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" herein and in the Prospectus and is of the opinion that such statements are correct in all material respects. Such statements are intended as an explanatory discussion of the possible effects of the classification of the Trust as a partnership for federal income tax purposes on investors generally and of related tax matters affecting investors generally, but do not purport to furnish information in the level of detail or with the attention to the investor's specific tax circumstances that would be provided by an investor's own tax adviser. Accordingly, each investor is advised to consult its own tax advisor with regard to the tax consequences to it of investing in Notes.

    For additional information regarding the federal and state tax treatment of the Trust, and the federal and state tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes, prospective investors should refer to the discussion in the accompanying Prospectus under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts."


UNDERWRITING

    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an Underwriting Agreement (the "Note Underwriting Agreement"), the Seller has agreed to cause the Trust to sell to each of the Note

S–64


Underwriters named below (collectively, the "Note Underwriters"), and each of the Note Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite its name below:

[TABLE]

    In the Note Underwriting Agreement, the Note Underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the Notes if any of the Notes are purchased. This obligation of the Note Underwriters is subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the Note Underwriting Agreement. The Seller has been advised by the Note Underwriters that they propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the prices set forth in this Prospectus Supplement, and to certain dealers at such price less the initial concession not in excess of   % of the denominations of the Notes per Class A-1 Note,  % per Class A-2 Note and  % per Class A-3 Note. The Note Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of  % per Class A-1 Note,   % per Class A-2 Note and  % per Class A-3 Note to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering of the Notes, the public offering price and such concessions may be changed.

    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an Underwriting Agreement (the "Certificate Underwriting Agreement"), the Seller has agreed to cause the Trust to sell to each of the Certificate Underwriters named below (the "Certificate Underwriters" and, together with the Note Underwriters, the "Underwriters"), and each of the Certificate Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, the principal amount of Certificates set forth opposite its name below:

[TABLE]

    In the Certificate Underwriting Agreement, the Certificate Underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the Certificates if any of the Certificates are purchased. This obligation of the Certificate Underwriters is subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the Certificate Underwriting Agreement. The Seller has been advised by the Certificate Underwriters that they propose initially to offer the Certificates to the public at the price set forth in this Prospectus Supplement, and to certain dealers at such price less the initial concession not in excess of  % per Certificate. The Certificate Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of  % per Certificate to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering of the Certificates, the public offering price and such concessions may be changed.

    The Seller and TMCC have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

    The Notes and the Certificates are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. The Seller has been advised by the Note Underwriters that they intend to make a market in the Notes of each class and has been advised by the Certificate Underwriters that they intend to make a market in the Certificates, in each case as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The Underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a market in the Notes of any class or the Certificates, and such market-making may be discontinued at any time without notice at the sole discretion of the Underwriters. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Notes of any class or the Certificates.

    The Trust may, from time to time, invest funds in the Accounts in Eligible Investments acquired from the Underwriters.

    The Underwriters have advised the Seller that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Act, certain persons participating in this offering may engage in transactions, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, which may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Securities of any class at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market. A "stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of the Securities of any class on behalf of the Underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of such Securities. A "syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase of such Securities

S–65


of any class on behalf of the Underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid" is an arrangement permitting one of the Underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to another Underwriter or syndicate member in connection with this offering if the Securities of any class originally sold by such other Underwriter or syndicate member are purchased by the reclaiming Underwriter in a syndicate covering transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed by such other Underwriter or syndicate member.

    Stabilizing bids and syndicate covering transactions may have the effect of causing the price of the Securities of any class to be higher than it might be in the absence thereof, and the imposition of penalty bids might also have an effect on the price of any Security to the extent that it discouraged resale of such Security. Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any such effect on the prices for the Securities. Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation that the Underwriters will engage in any such transactions or that, once commenced, any such transactions will not be discontinued without notice.

    Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that any of the transactions described above may have on the price of the Securities. In addition, neither the Seller nor any of the Underwriters make any representation that the Underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

    The Indenture Trustee may, from time to time, invest the funds in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account in investments acquired from or issued by the Underwriters.

    In the ordinary course of business, the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged and may engage in investment banking and commercial banking transactions with the Servicer and its affiliates.

    It is expected that the delivery of the Securities will be made against payment therefor on or about the Closing Date, which is expected to be the  th business day following the date hereof. Under Rule 15c-6 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle within three business days, unless the parties thereto expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Securities on the date hereof and for a period of days hereafter will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Securities initially will settle  business days after the date hereof, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to avoid a failed settlement.

    Each Underwriter will represent that (i) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell, prior to the date six months after their date of issuance, any Securities to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted in and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Seller.


LEGAL OPINIONS

    In addition to the legal opinions described in the Prospectus, certain legal matters relating to the Notes and the Certificates and certain federal income tax and California state income tax and other matters will be passed upon for the Trust by O'Melveny & Myers LLP. Certain legal matters relating to the Notes and Certificates will be passed upon for the Underwriters by            .

ANNEX A

GLOBAL CLEARANCE, SETTLEMENT AND
TAX DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURES

    Except in certain limited circumstances, the globally offered Class A Certificates (the "Global Securities") will be available only in book-entry form. Investors in the Global Securities may hold such Global Securities through DTC, Clearstream Banking or Euroclear. The Global Securities will be tradable as home market instruments in both the European and U.S. domestic markets. Initial settlement and all secondary trades will settle in same-day funds.

    Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities through Clearstream Banking and Euroclear will be conducted in the ordinary way in accordance with their normal rules and operating procedures and in accordance with conventional eurobond practice (i.e., three calendar day settlement).

    Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities through DTC will be conducted according to the rules and procedure applicable to U.S. corporate debt obligations and prior asset-backed securities issues.

    Secondary cross-market trading between Clearstream Banking or Euroclear and DTC Participants holding securities will be effected on a delivery-against-payment basis through the depositaries of Clearstream Banking and Euroclear (in such capacity) and as DTC Participants.

    Non-U.S. holders (as described below) of Global Securities will be subject to U.S. withholding taxes unless such holders meet certain requirements and deliver appropriate U.S. tax documents to the securities clearing organizations or their participants.

Initial Settlement

    All Global Securities will be held in book-entry form by DTC in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. Investors' interests in the Global Securities will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect Participants in DTC. As a result, Clearstream Banking and Euroclear will hold positions on behalf of their participants through their depositaries, which in turn will hold such positions in accounts as DTC Participants.

    Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through DTC will follow DTC settlement practice. Investor securities custody accounts will be credited with their holdings against payment in same-day funds on the settlement date.

    Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global security and no "lock-up" or restricted period. Global Securities will be credited to securities custody accounts on the settlement date against payment in same-day funds.

Secondary Market Trading

    Since the purchaser determines the place of delivery, it is important to establish at the time of the trade where both the purchaser's and seller's accounts are located to ensure that settlement can be made on the desired value date.

    Trading between DTC Participants.  Secondary market trading between DTC Participants will be settled using the procedures applicable to prior asset-backed securities issues in same-day funds.

    Trading between Clearstream Banking and/or Euroclear Participants.  Secondary market trading between Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in same-day funds.

A–1


    Trading between DTC Seller and Clearstream Banking or Euroclear Participants.  When Global Securities are to be transferred from the account of a DTC Participant to the account of a Clearstream Banking Participant or a Euroclear Participant, the purchaser will send instructions to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear through a Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant at least one business day prior to settlement. Clearstream Banking or Euroclear will instruct the respective Depositary, as the case may be, to receive the Global Securities against payment. Payment will include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and including the last coupon payment date to and excluding the settlement date, on the basis of the actual number of days in such accrual period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. For transactions settling on the 31st of the month, payment will include interest accrued to and excluding the first day of the following month. Payment will then be made by the respective Depositary to the DTC Participant's account against delivery of the Global Securities. After settlement has been completed, the Global Securities will be credited to the respective clearing system and by the clearing system, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account. The securities credit will appear the next day (European time) and the cash debt will be back-valued to, and the interest on the Global Securities will accrue from, the value date (which would be the preceding day when settlement occurred in New York). If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the Clearstream Banking or Euroclear cash debt will be valued instead as of the actual settlement date.

    Clearstream Banking Participants and Euroclear Participants will need to make available to the respective clearing systems the funds necessary to process same-day funds settlement. The most direct means of doing so is to preposition funds for settlement, either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit, as they would for any settlement occurring within Clearstream Banking or Euroclear. Under this approach, they may take on credit exposure to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear until the Global Securities are credited to their accounts one day later.

    As an alternative, if Clearstream Banking or Euroclear has extended a line of credit to them, Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants can elect not to preposition funds and allow that credit line to be drawn upon to finance settlement. Under this procedure, Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants purchasing Global Securities would incur overdraft charges for one day, assuming they clear the overdraft when the Global Securities are credited to their accounts. However, interest on the Global Securities would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the investment income on the Global Securities earned during that one-day period may substantially reduce or offset the amount of such overdraft charges, although this result will depend on each Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's particular cost of funds.

    Since the settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC Participants can employ their usual procedures for sending Global Securities to the respective European Depositary for the benefit of Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC Participants a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC Participants.

    Trading Between Clearstream Banking or Euroclear Seller and Dtc Purchaser.  Due to time zone differences in their favor, Clearstream Banking Participants and Euroclear Participants may employ their customary procedures for transactions in which Global Securities are to be transferred by the respective clearing system, through the respective Depositary, to a DTC Participant. The seller will send instructions to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear through a Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream Banking or Euroclear will instruct the Relevant Depositary, as appropriate, to deliver the Global Securities to the DTC Participant's account against payment. Payment will include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and including the last coupon payment to and excluding the settlement date on the basis of the actual number of days in such accrual period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. For transactions settling on the 31st of the month, payment will include interest accrued to and

A–2


excluding the first day of the following month. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant the following day, and receipt of the cash proceeds in the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account would be back-valued to the value date (which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurred in New York). Should the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant have a line of credit with its respective clearing system and elect to be in debt in anticipation of receipt of the sale proceeds in its account, the back valuation will extinguish any overdraft incurred over that one-day period. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), receipt of the cash proceeds in the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account would instead be valued as of the actual settlement date.

    Finally, day traders that use Clearstream Banking or Euroclear and that purchase Global Securities from DTC Participants for delivery to Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants should note that these trades would automatically fail on the sale side unless affirmative action were taken. At least three techniques should be readily available to eliminate this potential problem:

        (a) borrowing through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear for one day (until the purchase side of the day trade is reflected in their Clearstream Banking or Euroclear accounts) in accordance with the clearing system's customary procedures;

        (b) borrowing the Global Securities in the U.S. from a DTC Participant no later than one day prior to settlement, which would give the Global Securities sufficient time to be reflected in their Clearstream Banking or Euroclear account in order to settle the sale side of the trade; or

        (c) staggering the value dates for the buy and sell sides of the trade so that the value date for the purchase from the DTC Participant is at least one day prior to the value date for the sale to the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Documentation Requirements

    A beneficial owner of Global Securities holding securities through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear (or through DTC if the holder has an address outside the U.S.) will be subject to the 30% U.S. withholding tax that generally applies to payments of interest (including original issue discount) on registered debt issued by U.S. Persons, unless (i) each clearing system, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business in the chain of intermediaries between such beneficial owner and the U.S. entity required to withhold tax complies with applicable certification requirements and (ii) such beneficial owner takes one of the following steps to obtain an exemption or reduced tax rate:

    Exemption for Non-U.S. Persons (Form W-8BEN).  Beneficial owners of Global Securities that are Non-U.S. Persons generally can obtain a complete exemption from the withholding tax by filing a signed Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding). If the information shown on Form W-8BEN changes, a new Form W-8BEN must be filed within 30 days of such change.

    Exemption for Non-U.S. Persons with Effectively Connected Income (Form W-8ECI).  A non-U.S. Person, including a non-U.S. corporation or bank with a U.S. branch, for which the interest income is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States, generally can obtain an exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim for Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States).

    Exemption or Reduced Rate for Non-U.S. Persons Resident in Treaty Countries (Form W-8BEN).  Non-U.S. Persons residing in a country that has a tax treaty with the United States generally can obtain

A–3


an exemption or reduced tax rate depending on the treaty terms) by filing Form W-8BEN. Form W-8BEN may be filed by the Certificate Owners or their agents.

    Exemption for U.S. Persons (Form W-9).  U.S. Persons can obtain a complete exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-9 (Payer's Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).

    U.S. Federal Income Tax Reporting Procedure.  The beneficial owner of a Global Security files by submitting the appropriate form to the person though whom it holds (the clearing agency, in the case of persons holding directly on the books of the clearing agency). A Form W-8BEN on which the beneficial owner of a global Security provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number generally remains in effect until a change in circumstances causes any of the information on the form to be incorrect. A Form W-8ECI and a Form W-8BEN on which a U.S. taxpayer identification number is not provided generally remain in effect for three calendar years, absent a change in circumstances causing any information on the form to be incorrect.

    As used in the foregoing discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means (i) a citizen or resident of the United States who is a natural person, (ii) a corporation or partnership (or an entity treated as a corporation or partnership) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia (unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury Regulations are adopted that provide otherwise), (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States Federal income taxation, regardless of its source or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as such term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations) 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 prior to August 20, 1996 which elected to be treated as United States persons prior to such date also shall be U.S. Persons. The term "Non-U.S. Person" means any person who is not a U.S. Person. This summary does not deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income tax withholding that may be relevant to foreign holders of Global Securities. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisors for specific tax advice concerning their holding and disposing of Global Securities.

Description of the Certificates

 

 
 
Terms

 

The trust is offering the following classes of certificates by way of this prospectus supplement:
 
   
  Class
Percentage

  Original
Certificate
Balance

  Pass
Through
Rate*

 
                                                                                Class A Certificates     % $       %
                  Class B Certificates                
                  Class C Certificates                
       
 
 
 
                     Total   100 % $        
                  
 
                  * Calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  

 

 

Each class of certificates will have an undivided ownership interest in the trust equal to the class percentage indicated above. The class percentage will not change. The certificate balance of each class of certificates will be reduced by the payment of principal to the holders of that class.
 
Interest And Principal Payments

 

In general, certificateholders are entitled to receive payments of interest and principal from the trust only to the extent that collections from trust assets and funds resulting from credit enhancements are sufficient to make those payments. Interest and principal collections will be divided among the various classes of certificates in specified proportions.

 

 

The trust will pay interest and principal on a pro rata basis to certificateholders of record as of the preceding record date.

 

 

Interest. The amount of interest due on each payment date for any class of certificates will equal the product of:

 

 

   •

 

the outstanding class certificate balance as of the preceding payment date (or, in the case of the first payment date, as of the closing date); and

S–4



 

 

   •

 

one-twelfth of the pass through rate for that class, on a per annum basis.

 

 

Interest on the certificates will be determined on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

 

 

The pass through rate for each class of certificates is set forth on the front cover of this prospectus supplement.

 

 

If certificateholders of any class do not receive all interest owed to them on a payment date, the trust will make payments of interest on later payment dates to make up the shortfall, to the extent funds from specified sources are available to cover the shortfall.

 

 

Principal. The amount of principal due on each payment date for any class of certificates will equal the applicable class percentage, as shown on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, of the sum of the following:

 

 

   •

 

the portion of all scheduled monthly payments on receivables allocable to principal during the preceding calendar month;

 

 

   •

 

the portion of all prepayments on receivables allocable to principal received by the servicer during the preceding calendar month;

 

 

   •

 

the principal balance of each receivable that was purchased by the servicer or repurchased by the seller, in either case under an obligation that arose during the preceding calendar month; and

 

 

   •

 

the principal balance of each receivable that became a defaulted receivable during the preceding calendar month.

 

 

The receivables owned by the trust are classified as either precomputed receivables or simple interest receivables. The portion of the scheduled monthly payments and prepayments that will be allocable to principal is different for each of the two types of receivables. These receivables are described in more detail in "The Receivables Pools" in the accompanying Prospectus. Before each payment date, the servicer will calculate the amount of principal to be paid to each class of certificates for that payment date. The amount of principal to be paid to a class will equal that class' percentage of scheduled payments on precomputed receivables, principal collections on simple interest receivables and certain other principal amounts due or collected on the receivables. The class percentage for each class is detailed in the chart under "Description of the Certificates—Terms" above.

S–5



 

 

If certificateholders of any class do not receive all principal owed to them on a payment date, the trustee will make payments of principal on later payment dates to make up the shortfall, to the extent funds from specified sources are available to cover such amounts.

 

 

For more detailed information regarding payments of interest and principal see "Description of the Certificates—Payments—Calculation of Distributable Amounts".

Listing

 

[The trust has applied to list the Class A Certificates on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The trust has requested that the listings be made effective on or about            .]

Minimum Denominations

 

Certificates will be issued only in denominations of $1,000 or more. Certificates will be issued in multiples of $1 for amounts in excess of $1,000.

Registration of the Certificates

 

You will generally hold your interests in the securities through The Depository Trust Company in the United States, or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System in Europe or Asia. This is referred to as book-entry form. You will not receive a definitive certificate representing your securities except under limited circumstances.

 

 

We expect the securities to be delivered through The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme and the Euroclear System against payment in immediately available funds on or about            .

 

 

For more detailed information, you should refer to "Annex A: Global Clearance, Settlement and Tax Documentation Procedures" in this prospectus supplement and "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Book-Entry Registration" in the accompanying prospectus.

Tax Status

 

Subject to important considerations described in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus, O'Melveny & Myers LLP, special tax counsel to the trust, will deliver its opinion that:

 

 

   •

 

the trust will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income and California franchise and income tax purposes; and

 

 

   •

 

the trust will not be subject to federal income tax.

 

 

If you purchase the certificates, you will be required to report your pro rata share of all income earned on the receivables (other than amounts, if any, treated as "stripped coupons"). In addition if you are an individual, trust or estate, you may deduct your pro rata share of reasonable servicing and other fees, subject to certain limitations.

S–6



 

 

You should refer to "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying prospectus for additional information concerning the application of United States federal income tax laws to the trust and the certificates.
 
ERISA Considerations

 

The Class A Certificates are generally eligible for purchase by employee benefit plans, subject to certain considerations discussed under "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus.

 

 

The Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates, however, may not be acquired by any employee benefit plan or an individual retirement plan. However, under limited circumstances, Class B Certificates may be purchased as limited investments by persons using insurance general accounts or separate accounts.

 

 

You should refer to "ERISA Considerations" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. If you are a benefit plan fiduciary considering purchase of the certificates of any class, you should, among other things, consult with your counsel to determine whether all required conditions have been satisfied.
 
Ratings of the Certificates

 

It is a condition to the issuance of the certificates that:

 

 

   •

 

the Class A Certificates be rated at least "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. and at least "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.;

 

 

   •

 

the Class B Certificates be rated at least "        " by Standard & Poor's and at least "        " by Moody's; and

 

 

   •

 

the Class C Certificates be rated at least "        " by Standard & Poor's and at least "        " by Moody's.

 

 

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. The ratings of the certificates address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest on the certificates in accordance with their terms. Either rating agency may subsequently lower or withdraw its rating of the certificates. If this happens, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any additional credit enhancement for the certificates. The trust will obtain the ratings mentioned above from by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. However, another rating agency may rate the certificates and, if so, the rating may be lower than the ratings described above.

Structural Summary

 

[Chart depicting the transfer of receivables from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation to seller in exchange for the cash net proceeds of the offering and the subordinated non-recourse promissory note; the transfer of receivables from the seller to the trust in exchange for the securities; and the issuance of the securities to investors in exchange for the proceeds.]

Assets of the Trust

 

Purchasers of Toyota and Lexus cars and light duty trucks often finance their purchases by entering into retail installment sales contracts with Toyota and Lexus dealers who then resell the contracts to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. The purchasers of the vehicles are referred to as the "obligors" under the contracts. Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC will purchase a specified amount of these contracts from Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and on the closing date will sell them to the trust in exchange for the securities. These contracts are referred to as "receivables". The receivables will have a total outstanding principal balance of $        as of            , the cutoff date.

 

 

Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC will sell the certificates to investors for cash, and will use this cash to pay part of the purchase price for its purchase of the receivables. The chart above represents the flow of funds provided by investors for the securities and the receivables sold by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation.

 

 

On the closing date, the trust will purchase receivables having the following characteristics as of the cutoff date:
                     Total Cutoff Date Principal Balance
                     Number of Receivables
                     Average Cutoff Date Principal Balance
                     Average Original Amount Financed
                     Range of Original Amount Financed
                     Weighted Average APR(1)
                     Range of APRs
                     Weighted Average Original Number of Scheduled Payments(1)
                     Range of Original Number of Scheduled Payments
                     Weighted Average Remaining Number of Scheduled Payments(1)
                     Range of Remaining Number of Scheduled Payments
                     
                     (1) Weighted by principal balance as of the cutoff date.

 

 

The assets of the trust will also include:

 

 

   •

 

certain monies due or received under the receivables on and after the cutoff date;

 

 

   •

 

security interests in the vehicles financed under the receivables;

S–8



 

 

   •

 

certain bank accounts and the proceeds of those accounts; and

 

 

   •

 

proceeds from claims under certain insurance policies relating to the financed vehicles or the obligors under the receivables and certain rights of the seller under the receivables purchase agreement.

 

 

For a more detailed description of the assets of the trust, see "The Trust—General" in this prospectus supplement.

Servicing

 

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation will be appointed to act as servicer for the receivables owned by the trust. The servicer will handle all collections, administer defaults and delinquencies and otherwise service the receivables. On each payment date, the trust will pay the servicer a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1.00% of the total principal balance of the receivables as of the first day of the related collection period. The servicer will also receive additional servicing compensation in the form of investment earnings, late fees and other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges received by the servicer during such month.

 

 

The servicer will be obligated to advance to the trust interest on any receivable that is due but unpaid by the obligor. In addition, the servicer will be obligated to advance to the trust principal that is due but unpaid by the obligor on any receivables that are classified as precomputed receivables (but not on any that are classified as simple interest receivables). However, the servicer will not be required to make an advance if it determines that the advance will not ultimately be recoverable. The trust will reimburse the servicer from later collections on the related delinquent receivable. If the servicer determines that the advance will not ultimately be recoverable from later collections on the related delinquent receivable, the trust may also reimburse the servicer from collections on other receivables.

 

 

For more detailed information, you should refer to "Transfer and Servicing Agreement—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the accompanying prospectus, and to "Description of the Certificates—Advances" in this prospectus supplement.

Payments On Payment Dates

 

TMCC will identify collections on the receivables as either interest or principal depending on the terms of the related receivables. Collections identified as interest are sometimes referred to as "interest collections". Collections identified as principal are sometimes referred to as "principal collections".

S–9



 

 

Principal advances made by the servicer will be included in principal collections. Interest advances made by the servicer will be included in interest collections. Any reimbursements of interest advances paid to the servicer will be deducted from interest collections before those collections are used to pay noteholders and certificateholders. Similarly, any reimbursements of principal advances paid to the servicer will be deducted from principal collections before those collections are used to pay noteholders and certificateholders.

 

 

Payments From Interest Collections. Each month, the trust will distribute interest collections and interest advances received during the prior calendar month in the following order of priority:

 

 

   •

If interest collections are not sufficient to pay all interest owed to a class of certificateholders on any payment date, the trust will pay the shortfall from the following sources in the following order of priority:

 

 

   •

 

Class A Certificates—from collections otherwise allocable to pay principal on the Class C Certificates, from collections otherwise allocable to pay principal on the Class B Certificates and from amounts on deposit in the reserve fund described below.

Class B Certificates—from collections otherwise allocable to pay principal on the Class C Certificates and from amounts on deposit in the reserve fund.

 

 

   •

 

Class C Certificates—from amounts on deposit in the reserve fund.

 

 

Unpaid interest on any class of certificates will accrue interest at the pass through rate for that class.

 

 

Payments From Principal Collections. Each month, the trust will distribute principal collections and principal advances received during the prior calendar month in the following order of priority:

S–10

   •

 

Principal on the Class C Certificates—principal due on the Class C Certificates, including any unpaid principal from prior payment dates.

 

 

If principal collections are not sufficient to pay all principal owed to a class of certificateholders on any payment date, the shortfall will be paid from interest collections that are not needed to pay interest to the Class A, B and C Certificateholders on that date, and from amounts on deposit in the reserve fund. These amounts will be used first to pay principal owed to the Class A Certificateholders, second to pay principal owed to the Class B Certificateholders and finally to pay principal owed to the Class C Certificateholders.

 

 

Excess collections remaining on any payment date after the above interest and principal payments have been made will be deposited in the reserve fund or distributed to the seller.

 

 

For more detailed information concerning payments on the certificates and payment priorities, you should refer to "Payments to Certificateholders" in this prospectus supplement.

Credit Enhancement

 

The pooling and servicing agreement includes certain features designed to provide protection against losses and delays in payments to the Class A Certificateholders and, to a lesser extent, the Class B and C Certificateholders. These features are referred to as "credit enhancement." Losses on the receivables or other shortfalls of cash flow will be covered by allocating available cash flow to the more senior classes of certificates—that is, Class A and B Certificates—before making allocations to subordinate classes and by withdrawing amounts on deposit in the reserve fund. The reallocation of funds to the more senior classes of certificates is referred to as "subordination."

 

 

The credit enhancement for the certificates will be as follows:

S–11




 


 


Class A Certificates

 

 

   •

 

subordination of the Class B and C Certificates, as described below; and

 

 

   •

 

the reserve fund.

 

 

Class B Certificates

 

 

   •

 

subordination of the Class C Certificates, as described below; and

 

 

   •

 

the reserve fund.

 

 

Class C Certificates

 

 

   •

 

the reserve fund.

 

 

Subordination Of Interest And Principal

 

 

   •

 

Class B Certificates—Interest payments on the Class B Certificates will be subordinated to interest payments on the Class A Certificates. Principal payments on the Class B Certificates will be subordinated to principal payments on the Class A Certificates and, in certain circumstances, to interest payments on the Class A Certificates.

 

 

   •

 

Class C Certificates—Interest payments on the Class C Certificates will be subordinated to interest payments on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates. Principal payments on the Class C Certificates will be subordinated to principal payments on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates and, in certain circumstances, to interest payments on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates.

 

 

Reserve Fund

 

 

On each payment date, if collections on the receivables are insufficient to pay the amounts due to the servicer and certificateholders as described above, the trustee will withdraw from the reserve fund, to the extent available, the amount necessary to make the required payments.

 

 

The pooling and servicing agreement specifies the balance that is required to be maintained for the reserve fund. On the closing date, the seller will deposit $        into the reserve fund, which is less than the required balance. On each payment date, after the trust makes the required payments to the servicer and certificateholders from collections on the receivables and servicer advances:

 

 

   •

 

any remaining amounts will be deposited into the reserve fund to the extent necessary to maintain the specified reserve fund balance; or

S–12



 

 

   •

 

amounts remaining in the reserve fund in excess of the specified balance will be paid to the seller.

 

 

The trust and certificateholders will have no right to payment or recapture of any amounts released from the trust or reserve fund and paid to the seller. The seller will have no obligation to deposit funds into the reserve fund except for the initial deposit on the closing date.

 

 

For more detailed information concerning the credit enhancement provisions, you should refer to "Subordination; Reserve Fund" in this prospectus supplement.

 

 

Optional redemption; cleanup call

 

 

The servicer may purchase all, but not part, of the receivables on any payment date when the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the receivables has declined to 10% or less of the principal balance of the receivables as of the cut-off date. Such purchase would result in the redemption of all outstanding certificates on such payment date.

 

 

For more detailed information regarding this option, you should refer to "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Optional Purchase" in this prospectus supplement.

S–13



RISK FACTORS

    You should consider the following risk factors (and the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus) in deciding whether to purchase the certificates of any class.

    Prepayments on receivables may cause prepayments on the certificates, resulting in reinvestment risk to you.

    You may receive payment of principal on your certificates earlier than you expected. If that happens, you may not be able to reinvest the principal you receive at a rate as high as the rate on your certificates. Prepayments on the receivables will shorten the life of the certificates to an extent that cannot be predicted. Prepayments may occur for a number of reasons. Some prepayments may be caused by the obligors under the receivables. For example, obligors may:

    make early payments, since receivables will generally be prepayable at any time without penalty;

    default, resulting in the repossession and sale of the financed vehicle; or

    damage the vehicle or become unable to pay due to death or disability, resulting in payments to the trust under any existing physical damage, credit life or other insurance.

    Some prepayments may be caused by the seller or the servicer. For example, the seller will make representations and warranties regarding the receivables, and the servicer will agree to take or refrain from taking certain actions with respect to the receivables. If the seller or the servicer breaches its representation or agreement and the breach is material and cannot be remedied, it will be required to purchase the affected receivables from the trust. This will result, in effect, in the prepayment of the purchased receivables. In addition, the seller will have the option to purchase the receivables from the trust on any payment date when the outstanding principal balance of the receivables has declined to 10% or less of the principal balance as of the cutoff date.

    The rate of prepayments on the receivables may be influenced by a variety of economic, social and other factors. The seller has limited historical experience with respect to prepayments, and cannot predict the actual prepayment rates for the receivables. The seller, however, believes that the actual rate of payments, including prepayments, will result in the weighted average life of each class of securities being shorter than the period from the closing date to the final scheduled maturity date for the related class.

    Payment priorities increase risk of loss or delay in payment to Class B and Class C Certificates.

    If you buy Class B Certificates:

    you will not receive any interest payments on a payment date until all interest owed on the Class A Certificates on that date has been paid; and

    you will not receive any principal payments on a payment date until all principal and interest owed on the Class A Certificates on that date has been paid.

    If you buy Class C Certificates:

    you will not receive any interest payments until all interest owed on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates has been paid; and

    you will not receive any principal payments until all principal and interest owed on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates has been paid.

    Because the Class A Certificates and, to a lesser extent, the Class B Certificates will receive preferential allocations of interest and principal, the Class C Certificates and, to a lesser extent, the Class B Certificates, will be exposed to a greater risk of nonpayment or delayed payment if collections fall significantly below expected levels.

S–14


    As a result, the yield on the Class B Certificates will be sensitive, and the yield on the Class C Certificates will be highly sensitive, to losses on the receivables and the timing of such losses. If the actual rate and amount of losses exceed your expectations, and if amounts in the reserve fund are insufficient to cover the resulting shortfalls, the yield to maturity on your certificates may be lower than anticipated, and you could suffer a loss.

    Classes of securities that receive payments earlier than expected are exposed to a greater reinvestment risk, and classes of securities that receive principal later than expected are exposed to a greater risk of loss. In either case, the yields on your securities could be materially and adversely affected.

    Because the trust has limited assets, there is only limited protection against potential losses.

    The only sources of funds for payments on the securities are collections on the receivables (which include proceeds of the liquidation of repossessed vehicles and of relevant insurance policies), advances by the servicer and the reserve account. The notes and certificates are not obligations of, and will not be insured or guaranteed by, any governmental agency or the seller, the servicer, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., any trustee or any of their affiliates. You must rely solely on payments on the receivables, advances by the servicer and amounts available in the reserve account for payments on the securities. Although funds in the reserve account will be available to cover shortfalls in payments of interest and principal on each payment date, the amounts deposited in the reserve account will be limited. If the entire reserve account has been used, the trust will depend solely on current collections on the receivables and advances by the servicer to make payments on the notes. Any excess amounts released from the reserve account to the seller will no longer be available to securityholders on any later payment date. See "Subordination; Reserve Account" in this prospectus supplement. If the assets of the trust are not sufficient to pay interest and principal on the securities you hold, you will suffer a loss.

    Performance of the receivables could be affected by economic conditions in the states where the receivables were originated.

    If a large number of obligors are located in a particular state, economic conditions or other factors that negatively affect that state could also negatively affect the delinquency, credit loss or repossession experience of the trust. The table entitled "Geographic Distribution of the Receivables by State" on page S-  of this prospectus supplement provides important information about the number and principal amount of receivables located in each state (based on the address of the related dealer). By cutoff date principal balance, based on the address of the related dealer,   %,   %,   % and   % of the receivables were located in [California, Illinois, Virginia, and New York], respectively. By cutoff date principal balance, based on the address of the related dealer, not more than 5% of the receivables were located in any other state.

    Paid-ahead simple interest contracts may affect the weighted average life of the certificates.

    If an obligor on a simple interest contract makes a payment on the contract ahead of schedule (for example, because the obligor intends to go on vacation), the weighted average life of the certificates could be affected. This is because the additional scheduled payments will be treated as a principal prepayment and applied to reduce the principal balance of the related contract and the obligor will generally not be required to make any scheduled payments during the period for which it was paid-ahead. During this paid-ahead period, interest will continue to accrue on the principal balance of the contract, as reduced by the application of the additional scheduled payments, but the obligor's contract would not be considered delinquent during this period. While the servicer may be required to make interest advances during this period, no principal advances will be made. Furthermore, when the obligor resumes his required payments, the payments so paid may be insufficient to cover the interest that has accrued since the last payment by the obligor. This situation will continue until the regularly scheduled payments are once again sufficient to cover all accrued interest and to reduce the principal balance of the contract.

S–15


    The payment by the trust of the paid-ahead principal amount on the notes will generally shorten the weighted average life of the certificates. However, depending on the length of time during which a paid-ahead simple interest contract is not amortizing as described above, the weighted average life of the certificates may be extended. In addition, to the extent the servicer makes advances on a paid-ahead simple interest contract which subsequently goes into default, the loss on this contract may be larger than would have been the case had advances not been made because liquidation proceeds for the contract will be applied first to reimburse the servicer its advances.

    TMCC's portfolio of retail installment sale contracts has historically included simple interest contracts which have been paid-ahead by one or more scheduled monthly payments. There can be no assurance as to the number of contracts in the trust which may become paid-ahead simple interest contracts as described above or the number or the principal amount of the scheduled payments which may be paid-ahead.

    The absence of a secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell the securities.

    [The certificates are [not] expected to be listed on any securities exchange.] There have been times in the past when the absence of a liquid secondary market for similar asset backed securities has caused the holders thereof to be unable to sell their securities at all or other than at a significant loss. The absence of a liquid secondary market for the securities could limit your ability to resell them. This means that if you want to sell your securities in the future before they mature, you may have difficulty finding a buyer. If you find a buyer, the selling price may be less than it would have been if a secondary market existed for the securities. There is currently no secondary market for the securities. Although the underwriters have stated that they intend to make a market in each class of securities, they are not obligated to do so. A secondary market may not ever develop for the securities. Even if such a market does develop, it may not provide sufficient liquidity or continue for the life of your securities.

    Because the certificates are in book-entry form, your rights can only be exercised indirectly.

    Because the certificates will be issued in book-entry form, you will be required to hold your interest in the certificates through The Depository Trust Company in the United States, or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme nor the Euroclear System in Europe or Asia. Transfers of interests in the certificates within The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System must be made in accordance with the usual rules and operating procedures of those systems. So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will not be entitled to receive a Definitive Certificate representing your interest. The certificates will remain in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described under the caption "Description of the Certificates—Book-Entry Registration" in the accompanying prospectus. Unless and until the certificates cease to be held in book-entry form, the trustee will not recognize you as a "Securityholder", as that term is used in the pooling and servicing agreement. As a result, you will only be able to exercise the rights of Securityholders indirectly through The Depository Trust Company (if in the United States) and its participating organizations, or Clearstream Banking societe anonyme and the Euroclear System (in Europe or Asia) and their participating organizations. Holding the certificates in book-entry form could also limit your ability to pledge your certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in The Depository Trust Company, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme or the Euroclear System and to take other actions that require a physical certificate representing the certificates.

    Interest and principal on the certificates will be paid by the trust to The Depository Trust Company as the record holder of the certificates while they are held in book-entry form. The Depository Trust Company will credit payments received from the trust to the accounts of its participants which, in turn, will credit those amounts to certificateholders either directly or indirectly through indirect participants. This process may delay your receipt of principal and interest payments from the trust.

THE TRUST

General

    The Toyota Auto Receivables        -    Grantor Trust (the "Trust") will be formed by Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC (the "Seller") pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of            , among the Seller, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer") and            , as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Seller will establish the Trust by selling and assigning the assets of the Trust to the Trustee in exchange for the Certificates to be issued by the Trust. The Servicer will service the Receivables pursuant to the Agreement and will be compensated for acting as the Servicer. See "Description of the Certificates—Servicing Compensation".

    Pursuant to agreements between TMCC and the Dealers, each Dealer will repurchase from TMCC those retail installment sales contracts that do not meet certain representations and warranties made by such Dealer. Such Dealer repurchase obligations are referred to herein as "Dealer Recourse". Such representations and warranties relate primarily to the origination of the contracts and the perfection of the security interests in the related financed vehicles, and do not typically relate to the creditworthiness of the related obligors or the collectibility of such contracts. Although the Dealer agreements with respect to the Receivables will not be assigned to the Trustee, any recovery by TMCC pursuant to any Dealer Recourse will be deposited in the Collection Account in satisfaction of TMCC's repurchase obligations under the Agreement. The sales by the Dealers of installment sales contracts to TMCC do not generally provide for recourse against the Dealers for unpaid amounts in the event of a default by an obligor thereunder, other than in connection with the breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

    Each Certificate represents an undivided ownership interest in the Trust. The Trust property includes the Receivables, and certain monies due or received thereunder on or after the Cutoff Date. The Trust property also includes (i) such amounts as from time to time may be held in one or more trust accounts established and maintained by the Servicer pursuant to the Agreement, as described below; (ii) security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto; (iii) the rights to proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on physical damage, credit life and disability insurance policies covering the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors, as the case may be; (iv) the right to receive proceeds from any Dealer Recourse; (v) the interests of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; (vi) the right to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation Proceeds) that shall have secured a Receivable and that shall have been acquired by the Trustee; (vii) all other assets of the Trust; and (viii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing. The Reserve Fund will be maintained by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, but will not be part of the Trust.

    The Trust's principal offices are in            , in care of            , as Trustee, at the address set forth below under "The Trustee."


THE TRUSTEE

                is the Trustee under the Agreement.            is a            and its principal offices are located at            . The Seller and its affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking relations with the Trustee and its affiliates.

    [Under the Agreement, for so long as any Certificates are listed on an exchange whose rules so require, the Trustee will appoint paying agents in the jurisdictions specified by such rules. For so long as the Class A Certificates are listed on the [exchange] or [exchange], the Trustee will maintain paying agents in [jurisdiction] and [jurisdiction]. The Initial Paying Agents will be            and            . Definitive Certificates may be presented for purposes of payment, transfer or exchange

at the offices of the paying agent in [jurisdiction] at            , at the offices of the paying agent in [jurisdiction] at            , or such other paying agents as may be specified in a written notice to the holders of Certificates described below.]


THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER

    Information regarding the Seller and the Servicer is set forth under the captions "The Seller" and "The Servicer" in the Prospectus.


THE RECEIVABLES POOL

    The pool of Receivables (the "Receivables Pool") will include the Receivables purchased as of            (the "Cutoff Date"). The Receivables were originated by Dealers in accordance with TMCC's requirements and subsequently purchased by TMCC. The Receivables evidence the indirect financing made available by TMCC to the related purchasers (the "Obligors") of the vehicles financed by the Receivables (the "Financed Vehicles"). On or before the date of initial issuance of the Securities (the "Closing Date"), TMCC will sell the Receivables to the Seller pursuant to the receivables purchase agreement (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement") between the Seller and TMCC. The Seller will, in turn, sell the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. During the term of the sale and Servicing Agreement, neither the Seller nor TMCC may substitute any other retail installment sales contract for any Receivable sold to the Trust.

    The Receivables in the Receivables Pool are required to meet certain selection criteria as of the Cutoff Date. Pursuant to such criteria, each Receivable:

    falls within the range of:
remaining principal balance   $     to   $    
APRs       % to       %
original number of monthly ("Scheduled Payments")         to        
remaining number of Scheduled Payments         to        
    has a maximum number of:
days past due for payment   30 days
Scheduled Payments paid ahead of schedule   6 Scheduled Payments
    was, at the time of origination, secured by a new or used automobile or light duty truck;

    was originated in the United States;

    provides for scheduled monthly payments that fully amortize the amount financed by such Receivable over its original term (except for minimally different payments in the first or last month in the life of the Receivable);

    is being serviced by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation;

    to the best knowledge of the Seller, is not due from any obligor who is presently the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or is bankrupt or insolvent;

    does not relate to a vehicle that has been repossessed without reinstatement as of the Cutoff Date; and

    does not relate to a vehicle as to which insurance has been force-placed as of the Cutoff Date.

    Toyota Motor Credit Corporation does not originate retail installment sales contracts in Hawaii, and retail installment sales contracts originated in Texas or by a TMCC subsidiary in Puerto Rico will not be included in the Trust. No selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to Noteholders have been used in selecting the Receivables. Based on the addresses of the originating

S–18


Dealers, the Receivables have been originated in 48 states. Except in the case of any breach of representations and warranties by the related Dealer, the Receivables generally do not provide for recourse against the originating Dealer. The following are additional characteristics of the Receivables:

    as a percentage of the aggregate principal balance, as of the Cutoff Date:
Precomputed Receivables         %
Simple interest Receivables         %
New vehicles financed by TMCC         %
Used vehicles financed by TMCC         %
Receivables representing financing of vehicles manufactured or distributed by Toyota Motor Corporation or its affiliates         %
    as a percentage of the number of Receivables, as of the Cutoff Date:
New vehicles financed by TMCC         %
Used vehicles financed by TMCC         %

DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES

    Set forth below is certain information concerning TMCC's experience with respect to its portfolio of new and used automobile and/or light duty truck retail installment sales contracts which it has funded and is servicing, including contracts that have been securitized. The information set forth below does not include retail installment sales contracts serviced by an independent finance company conducting business in five southeastern states of the United States for the years 1996 and 1995.

    The data presented in the following tables are provided for illustrative purposes only. There is no assurance that TMCC's delinquency, credit loss and repossession experience with respect to automobile and light duty truck retail installment sales contracts in the future, or the experience of the Trust with respect to the Receivables, will be similar to that set forth below. The percentages in the tables below have not been adjusted to eliminate the effect of the growth of TMCC's portfolio. Accordingly, the delinquency, repossession and net loss percentages would be expected to be higher than those shown if a group of receivables were isolated at a period in time and the delinquency, repossession and net loss data showed the activity only for that isolated group over the periods indicated.

S–23



USE OF PROCEEDS

    The Seller will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities (approximately $            ) together with a subordinated non-recourse promissory note issued to TMCC to purchase the Receivables from TMCC pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to fund the Reserve Fund.


PREPAYMENT AND YIELD CONSIDERATIONS

    Information regarding certain maturity and prepayment considerations with respect to the Certificates is set forth under "Weighted Average Life of the Securities" in the Prospectus and "Risk Factors—Prepayments on Receivables May Cause Prepayments on the Certificates, Resulting in Reinvestment Risk to You" in this prospectus supplement. Because the rate of payment of principal of each class of Certificates depends on the rate of payment (including prepayments and liquidations due to default) of the principal balance of the Receivables, the final payment in respect of the Certificates could occur significantly earlier than the Final Scheduled Payment date. Certificateholders will bear the risk of being able to reinvest principal payments on the Certificates at yields at least equal to the yield on their respective Certificates. No prediction can be made as to the rate of prepayments on the Receivables in either stable or changing interest rate environments.

    The Class C Certificates and, to a lesser extent, the Class B Certificates, will provide limited protection against losses on the Receivables. Accordingly, the yield on the Class C Certificates and, to a lesser extent, the Class B Certificates, will be extremely sensitive to the loss experience of the Receivables and the timing of any such losses. If the actual rate and amount of losses experienced by the Receivables exceed the rate and amount of such losses assumed by an investor, the yield to maturity on the Class C Certificates and/or the Class B Certificates may be lower than anticipated.

    [Although the Receivables have different APRs, each Receivable's APR exceeds the sum of (i) the weighted average of the Class A Pass Through Rate, the Class B Pass Through Rate and the Class C Pass Through Rate plus (ii) the Servicing Fee Rate. Therefore, disproportionate rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher and lower APRs should not affect the yield to Certificateholders on the outstanding principal balance of a particular Class of Certificates.]


POOL FACTORS AND TRADING INFORMATION

    The "Pool Factor" for a particular class of Certificates will be a seven-digit decimal indicating the Class A Certificate Balance, Class B Certificate Balance and Class C Certificate Balance as of the close of business on the Payment Date in such month as a fraction of the Original Class A Certificate Balance, Original Class B Certificate Balance or Original Class C Certificate Balance, as the case may be. The Servicer will compute the Pool Factor for each class of Certificates each month. Each Pool Factor will initially be 1.0000000 and thereafter will decline to reflect reductions in each Class Certificate Balance. Each Class Certificate Balance will be computed by allocating payments in respect of the Receivables to principal and interest using the actuarial method for the Precomputed Receivables and using the simple interest method for the Simple Interest Receivables. The portion of the Class Certificate Balance for a given month allocable to each Certificateholder of a particular class of Certificates can be determined by multiplying the original denomination of the holder's Certificate by the related Pool Factor for that month.

    Pursuant to the Agreement, the Certificateholders will receive monthly reports concerning the payments received on the Receivables, the Pool Balance, the related Pool Factor and various other items of information pertaining to the Trust. Certificateholders during each calendar year will be furnished information for tax reporting purposes not later than the latest date permitted by law. See "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Reports to Securityholders" in the Prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

    The following summary describes certain terms of the Certificates and the Agreement. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Certificates and the Agreement. The following summary supplements, and to the extent inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions of the Certificates of any given series and the related Agreement set forth in the Prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made.

General

    The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. A copy of the Agreement will be filed with the SEC and the [Luxembourg and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges] following the issuance of the Securities. The Certificates will evidence undivided ownership interests in the Trust created pursuant to the Agreement. Each class of Certificates issued by the Trust will represent an undivided ownership interest in the Trust equal to the class percentage set forth on the front cover of this prospectus supplement. In general, and subject to the prior rights of any senior classes of Certificates, it is intended that Certificateholders of each class receive, on each Payment Date, the related Class Principal Distributable Amount plus interest at the related Class Pass Through Rate on the related Class Principal Balance.

Sale And Assignment Of Receivables

    Certain information with respect to the conveyance of the Receivables from the Seller to the Trust on the Closing Date pursuant to the Agreement is set forth under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Sale and Assignment of Receivables" in the Prospectus.

Accounts

    In addition to the Accounts referred to under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Accounts" in the Prospectus, the Servicer will also establish and will maintain with the Trustee a Payahead Account in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

Servicing Compensation

    The Servicing Fee with respect to the calendar month immediately preceding any Payment Date (a "Collection Period") will be one-twelfth of 1.00% (the "Servicing Fee Rate") of the Pool Balance as of the first day of such Collection Period or, in the case of the first Payment Date, the Initial Pool Balance. The Servicing Fee, together with any previously unpaid Servicing Fee, will be paid on each Payment Date solely to the extent of Available Interest. The Servicer will be entitled to collect and retain as additional servicing compensation in respect of each Collection Period any late fees, extension fees and any other administrative fees and expenses or similar charges collected during such Collection Period, plus any interest or investment earnings earned during such Collection Period from the investment of monies on deposit in the Accounts. See "—Collections" below and "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the Prospectus.

Collections

    The Servicer generally may retain all payments on or in respect of the Receivables received from Obligors and all proceeds of Receivables collected during each Collection Period without segregation in its own accounts until deposited in the Collection Account on the related Payment Date. However, if (i) TMCC ceases to be the Servicer, (ii) an Event of Default exists and is continuing or (iii) the short-term unsecured debt of TMCC ceases to be rated at least P-1 by Moody's and A-1 by S&P, and alternative arrangements acceptable to the Rating Agencies are not made, the Servicer will deposit all

S–25


such payments and proceeds into the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after receipt. Pending deposit into the Collection Account, the Servicer may invest collections at its own risk and for its own benefit. Such amounts will not be segregated from its own funds. The Servicer, at its own risk and for its own benefit, may also instruct the Trustee to invest amounts held in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments from the time deposited until the related Payment Date. The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, will remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments of any Receivables to be purchased from the Trust into the Collection Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. See "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Collections" in the Prospectus.

    "Eligible Investments" will be specified in the Agreement and will be limited to investments which meet the criteria of each Rating Agency from time to time as being consistent with its then-current ratings of each class of the Certificates.

    Collections on or in respect of a Receivable made during a Collection Period (including Warranty Purchase Payments and Administrative Purchase Payments) which are not late fees, extension fees or certain other similar fees or charges will be applied first to any outstanding Advances made by the Servicer with respect to such Receivable, and then to the related Scheduled Payment. Any collections on or in respect of a Receivable remaining after such applications will be considered an "Excess Payment". Excess Payments constituting a prepayment in full of Precomputed Receivables and any Excess Payments relating to Simple Interest Receivables will be applied as a prepayment in respect of such Receivable (each, a "Prepayment"). All other Excess Payments in respect of Precomputed Receivables will be held by the Servicer (or if any of the conditions in clauses (i) through (iii) in the second preceding paragraph is not satisfied, deposited in the Payahead Account), as a Payment Ahead. See "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Collections" in the Prospectus.

Advances

    The Servicer will be required to make Advances in respect of Scheduled Payments that are not received in full by the end of the month in which they are due, unless the Servicer determines, in its sole discretion, that such Advances will not be recoverable from certain collections available to reimburse such Advances. Under certain circumstances, if the Servicer determines that reimbursement from such collections is unlikely, the Servicer will be entitled to recover unreimbursed Advances from collections on or in respect of other Receivables. See "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Advances" in the Prospectus.

    The Servicer will make all Advances by depositing into the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate of the Precomputed Advances and Simple Interest Advances due in respect of a Collection Period on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date.

Net Deposits

    As an administrative convenience, unless the Servicer is required to remit collections daily (as described under "—Collections" above), the Servicer will be permitted to make the deposit of collections, aggregate Advances and amounts deposited in respect of purchases of Receivables by the Seller or the Servicer for or with respect to the related Collection Period net of payments to be made to the Servicer with respect to such Collection Period. The Servicer, however, will account to the Trustee and to the Certificateholders as if all of the foregoing deposits and payments were made individually. See "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Net Deposits" in the Prospectus.

Optional Purchase

    The outstanding Certificates will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer or the Seller exercises its option to purchase the Receivables. The Seller may

S–26


purchase the Receivables when the Pool Balance shall have declined to 10% or less of the Initial Pool Balance, as described in the Prospectus under "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Termination". The "Redemption Price" for the outstanding Certificates will equal the Certificate Balance on the date of such optional purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Removal of Servicer

    The Trustee or Holders of Certificates evidencing 51% of the voting interests of Certificates (voting as a single class) may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement upon the: (i) failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Trustee for payment to the Certificateholders any required payment or to deliver the related Servicer's Certificate, which failure continues unremedied for three Business Days after discovery of the failure by an officer of the Servicer or receipt by the Servicer of notice thereof from the Trustee or receipt by the Trustee and the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as the Servicer is TMCC) of notice from Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates voting together as a single class (but excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer or any of their affiliates); (ii) failure by the Servicer to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements set forth in the Agreement, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of Certificateholders and is not remedied within 90 days of written notice thereof to the Servicer; or (iii) certain events of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Servicer occur. Under such circumstances, authority and power shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Trustee or a Successor Servicer appointed under the Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer default, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

The Trustee

    [            ] will be the Trustee under the Agreement. As a matter of [New York] law, the Trust will be viewed as a separate legal entity, distinct from the Trustee, and the Trust will be viewed as the issuer of the Certificates. The Trustee and any of its affiliates may hold Certificates in their own names or as pledgees. For the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of certain jurisdictions, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly (or in some instances, the Trustee acting alone) will have the power to appoint co-trustees or separate trustees of all or any part of the Trust. In the event of such an appointment, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee by the Agreement will be conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and each such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly or, in any jurisdiction in which the Trustee will be incompetent or unqualified to perform certain acts, singly upon such separate trustee or co-trustee who will exercise and perform such rights, powers, duties and obligations solely at the direction of the Trustee.

    The Trustee may resign at any time, in which event the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor Trustee. The Servicer may also remove the Trustee if the Trustee ceases to be eligible to continue as such under the Agreement, becomes legally unable to act or becomes insolvent. In such circumstances, the Servicer will be obligated to appoint a successor Trustee. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will not become effective until acceptance of the appointment by such successor Trustee.

    The Agreement will provide that the Servicer will pay the Trustee's fees and expenses in connection with its duties under the Agreement. The Agreement will further provide that the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification by the Servicer for, and will be held harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee not resulting from its own willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (other than by reason of a breach of any of its representations or warranties to be set forth in the Agreement).

S–27


Duties of the Trustee

    The Trustee will make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Agreement, the Certificates (other than the execution and authentication thereof) or of any Receivables or related documents. The Trustee will not be accountable for the use or application by the Seller or the Servicer of any funds paid to the Seller or the Servicer in respect of the Certificates or the Receivables, or the investment of any monies by the Servicer before such monies are deposited into the Collection Account or Payahead Account. The Trustee will not independently verify the Receivables. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required to perform only those duties specifically required of it under the Agreement. Generally, those duties will be limited to the receipt of the various certificates, reports or other instruments required to be furnished to the Trustee under the Agreement, in which case it will only be required to examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Agreement. The Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of a failure by the Servicer to perform its duties under the Agreement which failure constitutes an Event of Default unless the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure as will be specified in the Agreement.

    The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising thereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation thereunder or in relation thereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby. No Certificateholder will have any right under the Agreement to institute any proceeding with respect to the Agreement, unless such holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and (i) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or (ii) the holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the voting interests of the Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates excluding any Certificates held by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any affiliate thereof, acting together as a single class, have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as the Trustee thereunder and have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee for 30 days has neglected or refused to institute any such proceedings.

Notices

    Certificateholders will be notified in writing by the Trustee of any Event of Default or termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer promptly upon a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Agreement) obtaining actual knowledge thereof. Except with respect to the monthly and annual statements to Certificateholders and Servicing Reports described herein, the Trustee is not obligated under the Agreement to forward any other notices to the Certificateholder. There are no provisions in the Agreement for the regular or special meetings of Certificateholders.

    [If required by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for so long as the Class A Certificates are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, notices to holders of the Class A Certificates will be given by publication in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg or, if publication in Luxembourg is not practical, in Europe. Such publication is expected to be made in the Luxembourger Wort. If required by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, for so long as the Class A Certificates are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, notices to holders of the Class A Certificates will be given in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in the English language in Hong Kong. Such publication is expected to be made in the South China Morning Post. In addition, if Definitive Certificates are issued, such notices will be mailed to the addresses of holders of Definitive Certificates at the addresses therefor as they appear in the register maintained by the Trustee prior to such mailing. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or mailing.]

S–28


Prescription

    In the event that any Certificateholder shall not surrender its Certificates for retirement within six months after the date specified in written notice given by the Trustee of the date for final payment thereof, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for retirement and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one year after such second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be paid by the Trustee to a charity specified in the Agreement.

Governing Law

    The Agreement and the Certificates are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made in and to be performed wholly within such jurisdiction.


PAYMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

General

    The trust will pay interest and principal on the certificates on the fifteenth day of each month. If the fifteenth day of the month is not a Business Day, payments on the certificates will be made on the next business day. The date that any such payment is made is called a "Payment Date." The first distribution date is            . A "Business Day" is any day except a Saturday or Sunday, a day on which banks in New York or San Francisco are closed; or [for payments on the Class A Certificates made in Luxembourg or Hong Kong by a paying agent, a day on which banks in Luxembourg or Hong Kong are closed.]

    On the second Business Day preceding each Payment Date (each, a "Determination Date"), the Servicer will inform the Trustee of, among other things, the amount of funds collected on or in respect of the Receivables, the amount of Advances to be made by and reimbursed to the Servicer and the Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation payable to the Servicer, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding Collection Period. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine the Class A Distributable Amount, the Class B Distributable Amount, the Class C Distributable Amount and, based on the available funds and other amounts available for payment on the related Payment Date as described below, the amount to be paid to Certificateholders of each Class.

    On or before each Payment Date, the Trustee will cause Payments Ahead previously deposited in the Payahead Account or held by the Servicer in respect of the related Collection Period to be transferred to the Collection Account.

    The Trustee will make payments to the Certificateholders out of the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account. The amount to be paid to the Certificateholders will be determined in the manner described below.

Calculation of Available Amounts

    The amount of funds available for payment on a Payment Date (without taking account of amounts held in the Reserve Fund) will generally equal the sum of Available Interest and Available

S–29


Principal. Generally, Available Interest and Available Principal on a particular Payment Date consist of that portion of the following amounts allocable to interest and principal, respectively:

    (i)
    all collections on or in respect of the Receivables other than Defaulted Receivables (including Payments Ahead being applied in such Collection Period but excluding Payments Ahead to be applied in one or more future Collection Periods);

    (ii)
    any Yield Maintenance Deposits;

    (iii)
    all proceeds of the liquidation of Defaulted Receivables, net of expenses incurred by the Servicer in accordance with its customary servicing procedures in connection with such liquidation, including amounts received in subsequent Collection Periods ("Net Liquidation Proceeds");

    (iv)
    all Advances made by the Servicer; and

    (v)
    all Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables repurchased by the Seller and Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables purchased by the Servicer, in each case in respect of such Collection Period.

    More specifically, "Available Interest" for a Payment Date will equal the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) above received or allocated by the Servicer in respect of interest on or in respect of the Receivables during the related Collection Period (which in the case of the Precomputed Receivables shall be computed in accordance with the actuarial method and in the case of the Simple Interest Receivables shall be calculated in accordance with the simple interest method).

    "Available Principal" for a Payment Date will equal the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above received or allocated by the Servicer in respect of principal on or in respect of the Receivables during the related Collection Period (which in the case of the Precomputed Receivables shall be computed in accordance with the actuarial method).

    Available Interest and Available Principal on any Payment Date will exclude (i) amounts received on a particular Receivable (other than a Defaulted Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer has previously made an unreimbursed Advance in respect of such Receivable, (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a particular Receivable to the extent of unreimbursed Advances in respect of such Receivable and (iii) recoveries from collections with respect to Advances that the Servicer has determined are unlikely to be repaid.

    A "Defaulted Receivable" will be a Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) as to which (a) all or any part of a Scheduled Payment is 150 or more days past due and the Servicer has not repossessed the related Financed Vehicle or (b) the Servicer has, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely and has either repossessed and liquidated the related Financed Vehicle or repossessed and held the related Financed Vehicle in its repossession inventory for 90 days, whichever occurs first.

Calculation of Distributable Amounts

    The "Class Distributable Amount" for each class of Certificates with respect to a Payment Date will equal the sum of (i) the related Principal Distributable Amount (each such amount, the "Class A Principal Distributable Amount", "Class B Principal Distributable Amount" and "Class C Principal Distributable Amount"), and (ii) the related Interest Distributable Amount (each such amount the "Class A Interest Distributable Amount", "Class B Interest Distributable Amount" and "Class C Interest Distributable Amount").

    The "Principal Distributable Amount" for a particular class consists of the Class A, Class B or Class C Percentage, as applicable, of the following items: (a) in the case of Precomputed Receivables,

S–30


the principal portion of all Scheduled Payments due during the related Collection Period, computed in accordance with the actuarial method, (b) in the case of Simple Interest Receivables, the principal portion of all Scheduled Payments actually received during the related Collection Period, (c) the principal portion of all Prepayments on Simple Interest Receivables and prepayments in full of Precomputed Receivables received during the related Collection Period (to the extent such amounts are not included in clauses (a) and (b) above) and (d) the Principal Balance of each Receivable that the Servicer became obligated to purchase, the Seller became obligated to repurchase or that became a Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period (to the extent such amounts are not included in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above).

    The "Interest Distributable Amount" for a particular class consists of one month's interest at the related Pass Through Rate on the related Certificate Balance as of the immediately preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on such immediately preceding Payment Date) or, in the case of the first Payment Date, the related Original Class Certificate Balance (such amounts the "Class A Interest Distributable Amount", "Class B Interest Distributable Amount" and "Class C Interest Distributable Amount").

    The "Class A Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class A Certificate Balance and, on any Payment Date, will equal the Original Class A Certificate Balance, reduced by all amounts allocable to principal and paid on or prior to such Payment Date on the Class A Certificates. In addition, on each Payment Date from and including the Payment Date on which both the Class B Certificate Balance and the Class C Certificate Balance have been reduced to zero, the Class A Certificate Balance will be reduced by the amount, if any, necessary to cause it to equal the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period after taking account of all payments, deposits and withdrawals to be made on such Payment Date.

    The "Class B Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class B Certificate Balance and, on any Payment Date, will equal the Original Class B Certificate Balance, reduced by all amounts allocable to principal and paid on or prior to such Payment Date on the Class B Certificates. In addition, on each Payment Date from and including the Payment Date on which the Class C Certificate Balance is reduced to zero, the Class B Certificate Balance will be reduced by the amount, if any, necessary to cause it to equal the excess, if any, of the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period over the Class A Certificate Balance after taking account of all payments, deposits and withdrawals to be made on such Payment Date.

    The "Class C Certificate Balance" will initially equal the Original Class C Certificate Balance and, on any Payment Date, will equal the amount by which the Pool Balance on the last day of the related Collection Period exceeds the sum of the Class A Certificate Balance and the Class B Certificate Balance on such Payment Date after giving effect to payments in respect of principal to Class A Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders and all other deposits or withdrawals required to be made on such Payment Date.

    The Certificate Balance of a class of Certificates will be reduced as a result of shortfalls in collections available to be paid on a Payment Date in respect of interest on or principal of such class or any other class of Certificates only if available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund are insufficient to cover such shortfall. See "Subordination; Reserve Fund".

Payments of Interest

    On each Payment Date, commencing            , the Certificateholders will be entitled to interest payments in an amount up to the amount of interest that accrued on the Certificate Balance for the related Interest Period at the related Pass Through Rate. The Certificates will constitute Fixed Rate Securities, as such term is defined under "Certain Information Regarding the Securities—Fixed Rate Securities" in the Prospectus. Interest in respect of a Payment Date will accrue during the related

S–31


Interest Period and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest payments due for any Payment Date but not paid on such Payment Date will be due on the next Payment Date increased by an amount equal to interest on such amount at the Pass Through Rate (to the extent lawful). Interest payments with respect to a class of Certificates will generally be funded from the portion of Available Interest and funds available in the Reserve Fund remaining after payment of the Servicing Fee and payment of the Interest Distributable Amount for any senior class of Certificates. See "Transfer and Servicing Agreements—Payments" and "—Reserve Fund" in the Prospectus.

Payments of Principal

    On each Payment Date, commencing      , each class of Certificates will be entitled to principal payments in an amount generally equal to the Principal Distributable Amount for such class. Principal payments for a class of Certificates will generally be funded from the portion of Available Principal remaining after payment of the Principal Distributable Amount for any senior class of Certificates. Under certain circumstances, amounts otherwise allocable to pay principal on a class of Certificates will be applied to cover shortfalls in amounts available to make payments of interest on a more senior class of Certificates.

Payment of Distributable Amounts

    Prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer will calculate the amount to be paid to the Certificateholders. On each Payment Date, the Trustee will pay to Certificateholders the following amounts in the following order of priority, to the extent of funds available for payment on such Payment Date:

    (i)
    to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee, including any unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to one or more prior Collection Periods, such amounts to be paid from Available Interest;

    (ii)
    to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class A Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Interest (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Interest described in clause (i) above); and if such Available Interest is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount first, from the Class C Percentage of Available Principal, second from the Class B Percentage of Available Principal and third, if such amounts are insufficient, from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account;

    (iii)
    to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Interest (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) and (ii) above); and if such Available Interest is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount first, from the Class C Percentage of Available Principal (after giving effect to any reduction in the Class C Percentage of Available Principal described in Clause (ii) above) and second, if such amounts are insufficient, from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account;

    (iv)
    to the Class C Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class C Interest Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class C Interest Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (iii) above); and if such Available Interest is insufficient, the Class C Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account;

S–32


    (v)
    to the Class A Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class A Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Principal (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Principal described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above); and if such Available Principal is insufficient, the Class A Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount first, from Available Interest (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (iv) above) and second, if such amounts are insufficient, from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account;

    (vi)
    to the Class B Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class B Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Principal (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Principal described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) above); and if such Available Principal is insufficient, the Class B Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount first, from Available Interest (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (v) above) and second, if such amounts are insufficient, from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account; and

    (vii)
    to the Class C Certificateholders, an amount equal to the Class C Principal Distributable Amount and any unpaid Class C Principal Carryover Shortfall, such amount to be paid from Available Principal (after giving effect to any reduction in Available Principal described in clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi) above); and if such Available Principal is insufficient, the Class C Certificateholders will be entitled to receive such amount first, from Available Interest (after giving effect to the reductions in Available Interest described in clauses (i) through (vi) above) and second, if such amounts are insufficient, from monies transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Collection Account.

    An "Interest Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any class of Certificates on any Payment Date will equal the excess, if any, of (x) the related Interest Distributable Amount for such class on such Payment Date and any outstanding related Interest Carryover Shortfall for such class from the immediately preceding Payment Date plus interest on such outstanding Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the extent permitted by law, at the related Pass Through Rate from such immediately preceding Payment Date through the current Payment Date, over (y) the amount of interest paid to the related Certificateholders on such Payment Date (each such shortfall, the "Class A Interest Carryover Shortfall", "Class B Interest Carryover Shortfall" and "Class C Interest Carryover Shortfall", as applicable).

    A "Principal Carryover Shortfall" with respect to any class of Certificates on any Payment Date will equal the excess, if any, of (x) the related Principal Distributable Amount for such class on such Payment Date and any outstanding Principal Carryover Shortfall for such class from the immediately preceding Payment Date over (y) the amount of principal actually paid to the related Certificateholders on such Payment Date (each such shortfall, the "Class A Principal Carryover Shortfall", Class B Principal Carryover Shortfall" and "Class C Principal Carryover Shortfall", as applicable).

    Even if the Certificate Balance of any class of Certificates is reduced to zero prior to the termination of the Trust and prior to the final payment in respect of amounts payable on the Certificates of all classes, any Interest or Principal Carryover Shortfalls with respect to such class will continue as obligations of the Trust payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or Reserve Fund, including Excess Amounts, before any further deposit of Excess Amounts into the Reserve Fund or release of amounts therein to the Seller.

    After the above payments have been made any remaining amounts (such amounts, "Excess Amounts") will be deposited in the Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Fund Balance and the remainder, if any, will be paid to the Seller.

S–33



SUBORDINATION; RESERVE FUND

Subordination

    The rights of the Certificateholders to receive payments with respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Servicer to receive the Servicing Fee, any additional servicing compensation as described under "Description of the Certificates—Servicing Compensation" and the reimbursement of certain unreimbursed Advances.

    In addition, the rights of the Class B Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholders to receive payments with respect to collections on the Receivables will be subordinated to the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to the extent described herein, and the rights of the Class C Certificateholders to receive payments with respect to the Receivables will be subordinated to the Class B Certificateholders to the extent described herein. This subordination is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the Class A Certificateholders and, to a lesser extent, the Class B Certificateholders, of the full amount of interest and principal required to be paid to them, and to afford such Certificateholders limited protection against losses in respect of the Receivables.

    The Class B Certificateholders and Class C Certificateholders will not receive any payments of interest with respect to a Payment Date until the full amount of interest on the Class A Certificates relating to such Payment Date has been paid to the Class A Certificateholders. In addition, the Class B Certificateholders and Class C Certificateholders will not receive any payments of principal with respect to such Payment Date until the full amount of interest on and principal of the Class A Certificates relating to such Payment Date has been paid to the Class A Certificateholders. Payments of interest on the Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates, to the extent of collections on Receivables allocable to interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will not be subordinated to the payment of principal on the Class A Certificates.

    The Class C Certificateholders will not receive any payments of interest with respect to a Payment Date until the full amount of interest on the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates relating to such Payment Date has been paid to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders, respectively. In addition, the Class C Certificateholders will not receive any payments of principal with respect to such Payment Date until the full amount of interest on and principal of the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates relating to such Payment Date has been paid to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders, respectively. Payments of interest on the Class C Certificates, to the extent of collections on Receivables allocable to interest and certain available amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, will not be subordinated to the payment of principal on the Class A Certificates or the Class B Certificates.

Reserve Fund

    The Certificateholders will also have the benefit of the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund will be a segregated trust account held by the Trustee and will not be an asset of the Trust. Any amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Fund are owned by the Seller and any investment earnings thereon will be taxable to the Seller for federal income tax purposes. The Reserve Fund will be created with an initial deposit by the Seller of an amount equal to $                     (the "Reserve Fund Initial Deposit"). If on any subsequent Payment Date the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund is less than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, Excess Amounts will be deposited in the Reserve Fund until the monies in the Reserve Fund reach an amount equal to the Specified Reserve Fund Balance.

    The "Specified Reserve Fund Balance" will initially be $            . However, on any Payment Date the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be an amount equal to the greater of (a) $            

S–34


or (b)       % of the sum of the outstanding Certificate Balances of any outstanding classes of Certificates as of the close of business on such Payment Date if either of the following tests is met:

    (i)
    the average of the Charge-off Rates for the three preceding Collection Periods exceeds      %; or

    (ii)
    the average of the Delinquency Percentages for the three preceding Collection Periods exceeds  %.

    The Specified Reserve Fund Balance shall in no event be more than the sum of the Certificate Balances of any outstanding classes of Certificates. As of any Payment Date, the amount of funds actually on deposit in the Reserve Fund may, in certain circumstances, be less than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance.

    The "Charge-off Rate" with respect to a Collection Period will equal the Aggregate Net Losses with respect to the Receivables that become Defaulted Receivables during that Collection Period expressed, on an annualized basis, as a percentage of the average of (i) the Pool Balance on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and (ii) the Pool Balance on the last day of such Collection Period.

    The "Aggregate Net Losses" with respect to a Collection Period will equal the Principal Balance of all Receivables newly designated during such Collection Period as Defaulted Receivables minus the sum of (x) Net Liquidation Proceeds collected during such Collection Period with respect to all Defaulted Receivables and (y) the portion of amounts subsequently received in respect of Receivables liquidated in prior Collection Periods specified in the Agreement.

    The "Delinquency Percentage" with respect to a Collection Period will equal (a) the number of all outstanding Receivables 61 days or more delinquent (after taking into account permitted extensions) as of the last day of such Collection Period (excluding Receivables as to which the Financed Vehicle has been liquidated during that Collection Period), determined in accordance with the Servicer's normal practices, plus (b) the number of repossessed Financed Vehicles that have not been liquidated (to the extent the related Receivable is not otherwise reflected in clause (a) above), expressed as a percentage of the aggregate number of Current Receivables on the last day of such Collection Period.

    A "Current Receivable" will be a Receivable that is not a Defaulted Receivable or a Liquidated Receivable. A "Liquidated Receivable" will be a Receivable that has been the subject of a Prepayment in full or otherwise has been paid in full or, in the case of a Defaulted Receivable, a Receivable as to which the Servicer has determined that the final amounts in respect thereof have been paid.

    The Servicer may, from time to time after the date of this Prospectus Supplement, request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Fund Balance that is different from those described above or change the manner by which the Reserve Fund is funded. If each Rating Agency delivers a letter to the Trustee to the effect that the use of any such new formulation will not result in a qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating of any class of Certificates, then the Specified Reserve Fund Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula. The Agreement will accordingly be amended, without the consent of any Certificateholder, to reflect such new calculation.

    As of the close of business on any Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund is greater than the Specified Reserve Fund Balance, the Trustee will release and distribute such excess, together with any Excess Amounts not required to be deposited into the Reserve Fund, to the Seller. Upon any such release of amounts from the Reserve Fund, the Certificateholders will have no further rights in, or claim to, such amounts.

    Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Fund will continue to be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible Investments.

S–35


Investment income on monies on deposit in the Reserve Fund will not be available for payment to Certificateholders or otherwise subject to any claims or rights of the Certificateholders and will be paid to the Seller. Any loss on such investments will be charged to the Reserve Fund.

    If on any Payment Date the Class C Certificate Balance equals zero and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted as a result of losses in respect of the Receivables, the protection afforded to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders by the subordination of the Class C Certificates and by the Reserve Fund will be exhausted and the Class B Certificateholders will bear directly the risks associated with ownership of the Receivables. From and after such date, all such losses realized during a Collection Period will be allocated first to the Class B Certificates, resulting in the reduction of the Class B Certificate Balance, and second, if the Class B Certificate Balance is reduced to zero thereby, to the Class A Certificates. If on any Payment Date the Class B Certificate Balance equals zero and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund have been depleted as a result of losses in respect of the Receivables, the protection afforded to the Class A Certificateholders by the subordination of the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates and by the Reserve Fund will be exhausted and the Class A Certificateholders will bear directly the risks associated with ownership of the Receivables. From and after such date, all such losses realized during a Collection Period will be allocated to the Class A Certificates and such allocation will result in the reduction of the Class A Certificate Balance on the related Payment Date.


MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Classification of the Trust

    Under current law and assuming execution of, and compliance with, the Agreement, the Trust will be classified for federal income tax purposes and California franchise and income tax purposes as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation.

    For federal income tax purposes, each beneficial owner of the Offered Certificates ("Grantor Trust Certificateholder") will be considered to own an undivided interest in the Trust's assets, be required to include in its gross income, for federal income tax purposes, its share of the gross income of the Trust and be entitled to deduct (subject both to possible recharacterization of specified fees paid by the Trust to the Servicer and to any limitations generally applicable to that holder) its share of the expenses of the Trust allocable to it.

    Although each Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be considered, for federal income tax purposes, to own its pro rata share of the principal of the Receivables in the Trust, each Grantor Trust Certificateholder's share of the right to interest on the Receivables, however, is not entirely certain. Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder's right to interest with respect to a particular Receivable should be limited to its pro rata share of the lesser of (1) the interest that accrues on the principal of that Receivable at the Pass Through Rate plus its pro rata share of the Servicer and Trustee fees allocable to it (which fees will be deemed to be paid over, on behalf of the holder, to the Servicer and the Trustee, respectively) and (2) the total interest payable on that Receivable.

    For administrative convenience, however, the Trustee may report information with respect to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder's investment in an Offered Certificate on an aggregate basis as though that Grantor Trust Certificateholder's investment in the Receivables and other assets were equal to that Grantor Trust Certificateholder's share of the initial Class Principal Balance and on which interest is payable at a combined rate equal to the sum of the Pass Through Rate and the Servicing Fee. If the IRS were to require reporting on an asset-by-asset basis, the amount of income reportable for a period could differ from the amount reportable on an aggregate basis.

S–36


Original Issue Discount, Premium, Imputed Interest and Market Discount

    Original Issue Discount; General.  The Receivables bear interest at varying rates. Because a Grantor Trust Certificateholder will be viewed as owning an interest in each of the Trust's assets, a portion of the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's purchase price of an Offered Certificate (whether on initial sale or in a subsequent transaction) may be required to be allocated among each of the Trust's assets based on their respective fair market values. See discussion under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts—Discount and Premium" in the accompanying prospectus.

    Premium.  A Grantor Trust Certificateholder that purchases an Offered Certificate for an amount greater than its outstanding principal balance may elect under Section 171 of the Code to amortize premium in respect of the Receivables in order to accrue income based on the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's yield rather than at the Pass Through Rate. That election would apply to all of the taxable debt instruments held at or acquired after the first day of the holder's first taxable year to which that election applies, and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. See discussion under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts—Premium" in the accompanying prospectus.

    Imputed Interest and Market Discount.  Some or all of the Receivables may have imputed interest and/or market discount. If a Receivable did not have "adequate stated interest" (as the term is defined in Section 483 of the Code) when originated, then that Receivable would be treated as having "imputed interest." Under the imputed interest rules of the Code, a portion of the Receivable's stated principal amount equal to that total unstated interest would be recharacterized as interest and the Receivable's principal amount would be correspondingly reduced. If the imputed interest rules applied, the total unstated interest would be included in the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's gross income over the term of the Receivable using a constant yield-to-maturity method. It is uncertain whether the imputed interest rules would apply to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder. If these rules do not apply, or with respect to Receivables which had adequate stated interest when issued, the market discount rules instead may be applicable.

    In general, under the market discount provisions of the Code, principal payments received by the Trust, and all or a portion of the gain recognized upon a sale or other disposition of a Receivable or upon the sale or other disposition of an Offered Certificate by a Grantor Trust Certificateholder, will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount. Any gain recognized by a Grantor Trust Certificateholder upon a sale or other disposition of an Offered Certificate will be treated as capital gain to the extent the gain exceeds accrued market discount.

    A portion of the interest deductions on an Offered Certificate attributable to any indebtedness treated as incurred or continued to purchase or carry a Receivable may have to be deferred, unless a Grantor Trust Certificateholder makes an election to include market discount in income currently as it accrues (in lieu of including accrued market discount in income at the time principal payments are received or at the time of disposition). That election would apply to all debt instruments acquired by the taxpayer on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which that election applies, and may be revoked only with consent of the IRS. Taxpayers may, in general, elect to accrue market discount either (1) under a constant yield-to-maturity method or (2) in the proportion that the stated interest paid on the obligation for the current period bears to the total remaining interest on the obligation. See discussion under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts—Market Discount" in the accompanying prospectus.

S–37


    Accruing Income on a Separate Asset Basis.  Although the matter is not entirely certain, it appears that, as a technical matter, each Grantor Trust Certificateholder should calculate income separately for its interest in each Receivable (by first allocating to each Receivable and to each other asset in the Trust a portion of the holder's basis in the Offered Certificate). Further, in the case of any "affected investor" (as defined below), in computing yield to maturity, all interest on the Receivables allocable to the Offered Certificates, including interest effectively paid over to the Servicer and the Trustee, is taken into account. For this purpose "affected investors" are individuals, persons, including estates and trusts, that compute taxable income in the same manner as an individual and some "pass through entities." If required to report income in respect of the Offered Certificates to the IRS and/or Grantor Trust Certificateholders holding the Offered Certificates, however, the Servicer and Trustee currently intend to accrue income on an aggregate basis, based on an assumed initial offering price of the Offered Certificates and based on the net amounts distributable on the Offered Certificates. This method of reporting on a net basis may not be permitted. Furthermore, subsequent purchasers of the Offered Certificates will have to adjust the amounts reported to them based upon their basis in the Offered Certificates.

    Possible Alternative Characterization.  Prospective investors should be aware that the IRS could take the position that, in accruing OID, and possibly market discount, a Receivable-by-Receivable or pool-wide prepayment assumption should be used to determine yield and time to maturity. If the holder purchased its Offered Certificate at a yield higher than the Pass Through Rate on the Offered Certificates (that is, for an amount less than the principal amount of Receivables allocable to the Offered Certificate), that assumption could accelerate income on the Offered Certificate. Prospective investors should also be aware that, although the Seller believes that none of:

    1.
    the Class A Grantor Trust Certificateholders' right to be paid prior to payment being made on the class B certificates and the class C certificates;

    2.
    the Class B Grantor Trust Certificateholders' right to be paid prior to payment being made on the class C certificates; or

    3.
    the Class A, Class B and Class C Grantor Trust Certificateholders' right to be paid out of the Reserve Fund;

should be treated as an asset separate from the Class A, Class B and Class C Grantor Trust Certificateholders' rights in the Receivables, the IRS could take a contrary view. If any of those rights were characterized as a separate asset, a portion of that holder's basis in its certificate could be required to be allocated to those rights or a Grantor Trust Certificateholder might be considered to own a greater percentage of the right to interest on the Receivables (and be deemed to pay over that additional interest as a guarantee or other fee as it is paid or accrued).

Sale or Prepayment

    Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of an Offered Certificate, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder will recognize taxable gain or loss in respect of its undivided interest in each asset held by the Trust. Gain or loss with respect to each undivided interest in a Trust asset is equal to the difference between the allocable portion of the amount realized and the Grantor Trust Certificateholder's adjusted basis in that asset. See discussion under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts—Sale or Exchange of a Grantor Trust Certificate" in the accompanying Prospectus.

    A disposition or retirement of an Offered Certificate for no net gain or loss may for tax purposes consist of a sale of one asset (e.g., an interest in some Receivables) for a gain and the disposition of another asset at a loss (e.g., an interest in other Receivables). Although those gains or losses generally should be treated as offsetting capital gains and losses (unless earned by a dealer), absent the making of an election to include market discount currently in income (as discussed above), gain realized on an

S–38


interest in Receivables acquired with market discount may yield ordinary gain to the extent of accrued market discount, which (1) for a corporate taxpayer could not be offset by, and (2) for an individual taxpayer could only be offset by up to $3,000 of, any capital loss attributable to an interest in any other Receivables or Trust assets. See "—Original Issue Discount, Imputed Interest and Market Discount—Accruing Income on a Separate Asset Basis" above. In general, gain or loss on any sale, exchange or retirement of an Offered Certificate would be capital gain or loss. However, it is possible that the Servicer will take the position that, under the rules for accruing OID, gain on any prepayment of the Receivables will be ordinary income.

Foreign Certificateholders

    Interest attributable to Receivables which is received by a Grantor Trust Certificateholder that is not a "U.S. person" (as defined in the accompanying prospectus under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Owner Trusts—Tax Consequences to Owner of the Notes—Foreign Owners") and has no connection with the United States other than owning the Offered Certificate would generally constitute "portfolio interest" and, accordingly, not be subject to the normal 30% withholding tax imposed with respect to those payments, provided that that Grantor Trust Certificateholder fulfills specified certification requirements. See discussion under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Tax Treatment of Grantor Trusts—Foreign Persons" in the accompanying prospectus.

Material State Tax Consequences

    For California tax purposes, Grantor Trust Certificateholders could be considered to own either (1) an undivided interest in a single debt obligation held by the Trust and having a principal amount equal to the total stated principal amount of the Receivables and an interest rate equal to the related Pass Through Rate or (2) an interest in each of the Receivables and any other Trust assets. It is suggested that Grantor Trust Certificateholders consult their tax advisors regarding the state tax consequences associated with the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Grantor Trust Certificates.


ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The Class A Certificates

    Subject to the considerations set forth below and under "ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus, the Class A Certificates may be purchased by an employee benefit plan or an individual retirement account (a "Benefit Plan") subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A fiduciary of a Benefit Plan must determine that the purchase of a Class A Certificate is consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

    The United States Department of Labor (the "DOL") has granted to                  and                  administrative exemptions (Prohibited Transaction Exemptions ("PTE") and                  , as amended by PTE 97-34 and PTE 2000-58 (the "Exemptions")) from certain of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA with respect to the initial purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by Benefit Plans of certificates representing interests in asset backed pass-through trusts that consist of certain receivables, loans and other obligations that meet the conditions and requirements of the Exemptions. The receivables covered by the Exemptions include motor vehicle installment obligations such as the Receivables. The Exemptions also apply to transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the Trust which might otherwise constitute prohibited transactions.

S–39


    Among the conditions that must be satisfied for either of the Exemptions to apply to the acquisition by a Benefit Plan of the Class A Certificates are the following:

    (i)
    The acquisition of the Class A Certificates by a Benefit Plan is on terms (including the price for the Class A Certificates) that are at least as favorable to the Benefit Plan as they would be in an arm's-length transaction with an unrelated party.

    (ii)
    The rights and interests evidenced by the Class A Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan are not subordinated to the rights and interests evidenced by other certificates of the Trust, unless the circumstances under which the Class A Certificates are issued constitute a "designated transaction" as defined in the Exemption. To qualify as a "designated transaction", the assets of the Trust must consist of secured motor vehicle receivables, credit instruments or obligations that bear interest or are purchased at a discount.

    (iii)
    The Class A Certificates acquired by the Benefit Plan have received a rating at the time of such acquisition that is in one of the three (or, in the case of "designated transactions", four) highest generic rating categories from Standard & Poor' Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.s, Moody's Investment Services, Inc., Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. or Fitch ICBA, Inc., or any successors thereto (the "rating agencies").

    (iv)
    The Trustee is not an affiliate of any member of the Restricted Group (as defined below).

    (v)
    The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Underwriters in connection with the payment of the Class A Certificates represents not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the Class A Certificates. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Seller pursuant to the sale of the Receivables to the Trust represents not more than the fair market value of such Receivables. The sum of all payments made to and retained by the Servicer represents not more than reasonable compensation for the Servicer's services under the Agreement and reimbursement of the Servicer's reasonable expenses in connection therewith.

    (vi)
    The Benefit Plan investing in the Class A Certificates is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Commission under the Securities Act.

    The Trust must also meet the following requirements:

    (a)
    The corpus of the Trust must consist solely of assets of the type that have been included in other investment pools.

    (b)
    Certificates in such other investment pools must have been rated in one of the three (or, in the case of "designated transactions", four) highest generic rating categories of any of the rating agencies for at least one year prior to the Benefit Plan's acquisition of certificates.

    (c)
    Certificates evidencing interests in such other investment pools must have been purchased by investors other than Benefit Plans for at least one year prior to any Benefit Plan's acquisition of Class A Certificates.

    The Exemptions do not apply in all respects to Benefit Plans sponsored by the Seller, the Underwriters, the Trustee, the Servicer, any Obligor with respect to the Receivables included in the Trust constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the assets in the Trust, any swap counterparty or any affiliate of such parties (the "Restricted Group"). As of the date hereof, no Obligor with respect to the Receivables included in the Trust constitutes more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the Trust (i.e., the initial principal amount of the Certificates). Moreover, each Exemption provides relief from certain self-dealing/conflict of interest prohibited transactions only if, among other requirements, (i) in the case of the acquisition of Class A Certificates in connection with the initial issuance, at least 50% of each class of Certificates in which

S–40


Benefit Plans have invested is acquired by persons independent of the Restricted Group and at least 50% of the aggregate interest in the Trust is acquired by persons independent of the Restricted Group, (ii) a Benefit Plan's investment in the Class A Certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the Class A Certificates outstanding at the time of the acquisition and (iii) immediately after the acquisition, no more than 25% of the assets of a Benefit Plan with respect to which a person has discretionary authority or renders investment advice are invested in certificates representing interests in trusts, or securities denominated as debt of "issuers" as defined in the Exemption with respect to which the Underwriter is either the sole underwriter or the manager or co-manager of the underwriting sindicate or a selling or placement agent—which trusts or other issuers containing assets sold or serviced by the same entity.

    The Seller believes that the Exemptions will apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of the Class A Certificates by a Benefit Plan and that all conditions of the Exemptions other than those within the control of investors will be met. However, there can be no assurance that the DOL or the Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position, nor that such position will be sustained. One or more alternative exemptions may be available with respect to certain prohibited transactions to which the Exemptions are not applicable, depending in part upon the type of Benefit Plan's fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Class A Certificates and the circumstances under which such decision is made, including, but not limited to, (a) Prohibited Transactions Class Exemption ("PTCE") 91-38, regarding investments by bank collective investment funds or (b) PTCE 90-1, regarding investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts. Before purchasing the Class A Certificates, a Benefit Plan's fiduciary should consult with its counsel to determine whether the conditions of the Exemption or any other exemption would be met. A purchaser of the Class A Certificates should be aware, however, that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are met, the scope of the relief provided by the applicable exemption or exemptions might not cover all acts that might be construed as prohibited transactions.

    As described above, the acquisition of a Class A Certificate by a Benefit Plan could result in various unfavorable consequences for the Benefit Plan or its fiduciaries under the regulations unless one of the exceptions in the regulations or an exemption is available. See "ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus.

    Prospective Benefit Plan investors should consult with their legal advisors concerning the impact of ERISA and the Code, the applicability of the Exemptions or any other exemptions, and the potential consequences of any purchase in their specific circumstances, prior to making an investment in a Class A Certificate. Any Benefit Plan which acquires a beneficial ownership interest in Class A Certificates will be deemed, by virtue of the acceptance and acquisition of such ownership interest, to have represented to the Seller and the Trustee that such Benefit Plan is an "accredited investor" for purposes of Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

    A governmental plan as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA is not subject to ERISA or Code Section 4975. However, such a governmental plan may be subject to federal, state or local law which is to a material extent similar to the provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 ("Similar Law"). A fiduciary of a governmental plan should make its own determination as to the need for and availability of any exemptive relief under Similar Law.

    The Exemptions will not apply to the acquisition, holding or resale of the Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates.

The Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates

    Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates may not be acquired by an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or any person acting on behalf of such a plan or using the assets of

S–41


such a plan to acquire the Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates or any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan's investment in the entity, except as provided below with respect to insurance company general accounts. By its acceptance of a Class B Certificate or Class C Certificate, each holder thereof will be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not subject to the foregoing limitation.

    In 1995, the DOL issued PTCE 95-60. Section III of PTCE 95-60 exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of a trust (such as the Trust) in which an insurance company general account has an interest as a result of its acquisition of certificates issued by the trust, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. If these conditions are met, insurance company general accounts would be allowed to purchase classes of Certificates (such as the Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates) which do not meet the requirements of the Exemptions solely because they (i) are subordinated to other classes of Certificates in the Trust (in the case of an offering which is not a "designated transaction") and/or (ii) have not received a rating at the time of the acquisition in one of the three (or, in the case of "designated transaction", four) generic highest rating categories from a rating agency. All other conditions of the Exemptions would have to be satisfied in order for PTCE 95-60 to be available. Before purchasing Class B Certificates or Class C Certificates, an insurance company general account seeking to rely on Section III of PTCE 95-60 should itself confirm that all applicable conditions and other requirements have been satisfied.

S–42



UNDERWRITING

    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Certificates (the "Underwriting Agreement"), the Seller has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters named below, and each of the Underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, the principal amount of Class A Certificates, Class B Certificates and Class C Certificates set forth opposite its name below:

    In the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase all of the Certificates if any of the Certificates are purchased. Such obligation of the Underwriters is subject to certain conditions precedent set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. The Seller has been advised by the Underwriters that they propose to offer the Certificates of each class to the public at the respective public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of [      ]% of the Class A Certificate denominations, [      ]% of the Class B Certificate denominations and [      ]% of the Class C Certificate denominations and that the Underwriters may allow and such dealers may reallow a discount not in excess of [      ]% of the Class A Certificate denominations, [      ]% of the Class B Certificate denominations and [      ]% of the Class C Certificate denominations to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering prices and such concessions and discounts to dealers may be changed by the Underwriters.

    The Seller and TMCC have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

    The Certificates are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. The Seller has been advised by the Underwriters that the Underwriters intend to make a market in the Certificates of each class, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. The Underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a market in the Certificates of any class and such market-making may be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the Underwriters without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Certificates of any class.

    The Trust may, from time to time, invest funds in the Accounts in Eligible Investments acquired from the Underwriters.

    The Underwriters have advised the Seller that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Act, certain persons participating in this offering may engage in transactions, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, which may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Certificates of any class at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market. A "stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of the Certificates of any class on behalf of the Underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of such Certificates. A "syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase of such Certificates of any class on behalf of the Underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid" is an arrangement permitting one of the

S–43


Underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to another Underwriter or syndicate member in connection with this offering if the Certificates of any class originally sold by such other Underwriter or syndicate member are purchased by the reclaiming Underwriter in a syndicate covering transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed by such other Underwriter or syndicate member.

    Stabilizing bids and syndicate covering transactions may have the effect of causing the price of the Certificates of any class to be higher than it might be in the absence thereof, and the imposition of penalty bids might also have an effect on the price of any Certificate to the extent that it discouraged resale of such Certificate. Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any such effect on the prices for the Certificates. Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation that the Underwriters will engage in any such transactions or that, once commenced, any such transactions will not be discontinued without notice.

    Neither the Seller nor the Underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that any of the transactions described above may have on the price of the Certificates. In addition, neither the Seller nor any of the Underwriters make any representation that the Underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

    The Indenture Trustee may, from time to time, invest the funds in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account in investments acquired from or issued by the Underwriters.

    In the ordinary course of business, the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged and may engage in investment banking and commercial banking transactions with the Servicer and its affiliates.

    It is expected that the delivery of the Certificates will be made against payment therefor on or about the Closing Date, which is expected to be the      th business day following the date hereof. Under Rule 15c-6 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle within three business days, unless the parties thereto expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Certificates on the date hereof and for a period of days hereafter will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Certificates initially will settle       business days after the date hereof, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to avoid a failed settlement.

    Each Underwriter will represent that (i) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell, prior to the date six months after their date of issuance, any Certificates to persons in the United Kingdom, except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted in and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Certificates in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (iii) it has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issuance of the Certificates to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1997 or is a person to whom the document can otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.


LEGAL OPINIONS

    In addition to the legal opinions described in the Prospectus, certain legal matters relating to the Certificates and certain federal income tax and other matters will be passed upon for the Trust by O'Melveny & Myers LLP. Certain legal matters relating to the Notes and Certificates will be passed upon for the Underwriters by            .

ANNEX A

GLOBAL CLEARANCE, SETTLEMENT AND
TAX DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURES

    Except in certain limited circumstances, the globally offered Class A Certificates (the "Global Securities") will be available only in book-entry form. Investors in the Global Securities may hold such Global Securities through DTC, Clearstream Banking societe anonyme ("Clearstream Banking") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"). The Global Securities will be tradable as home market instruments in both the European and U.S. domestic markets. Initial settlement and all secondary trades will settle in same-day funds.

    Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities through Clearstream Banking and Euroclear will be conducted in the ordinary way in accordance with their normal rules and operating procedures and in accordance with conventional eurobond practice (i.e., three calendar day settlement). Secondary market trading between investors holding Global Securities through DTC will be conducted according to the rules and procedure applicable to U.S. corporate debt obligations and prior asset-backed securities issues. Secondary cross-market trading between Clearstream Banking or Euroclear and DTC Participants holding securities will be effected on a delivery-against-payment basis through the depositaries of Clearstream Banking and Euroclear (in such capacity) and as DTC Participants.

    Non-U.S. holders (as described below) of Global Securities will be subject to U.S. withholding taxes unless such holders meet certain requirements and deliver appropriate U.S. tax documents to the securities clearing organizations or their participants.

Initial Settlement

    All Global Securities will be held in book-entry form by DTC in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC. Investors' interests in the Global Securities will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect Participants in DTC. As a result, Clearstream Banking and Euroclear will hold positions on behalf of their participants through their depositaries, which in turn will hold such positions in accounts as DTC Participants.

    Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through DTC will follow DTC settlement practice. Investor securities custody accounts will be credited with their holdings against payment in same-day funds on the settlement date. Investors electing to hold their Global Securities through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global security and no "lock-up" or restricted period. Global Securities will be credited to securities custody accounts on the settlement date against payment in same-day funds.

Secondary Market Trading

    Since the purchaser determines the place of delivery, it is important to establish at the time of the trade where both the purchaser's and seller's accounts are located to ensure that settlement can be made on the desired value date.

    Trading between DTC Participants.  Secondary market trading between DTC Participants will be settled using the procedures applicable to prior asset-backed securities issues in same-day funds.

    Trading between Clearstream Banking and/or Euroclear Participants.  Secondary market trading between Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in same-day funds.

A–1


    Trading Between DTC Seller and Clearstream Banking or Euroclear Participants.  When Global Securities are to be transferred from the account of a DTC Participant to the account of a Clearstream Banking Participant or a Euroclear Participant, the purchaser will send instructions to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear through a Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant at least one business day prior to settlement. Clearstream Banking or Euroclear will instruct the respective Depositary, as the case may be, to receive the Global Securities against payment. Payment will include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and including the last coupon payment date to and excluding the settlement date, on the basis of the actual number of days in such accrual period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. For transactions settling on the 31st of the month, payment will include interest accrued to and excluding the first day of the following month. Payment will then be made by the respective Depositary to the DTC Participant's account against delivery of the Global Securities. After settlement has been completed, the Global Securities will be credited to the respective clearing system and by the clearing system, in accordance with its usual procedures, to the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account. The securities credit will appear the next day (European time) and the cash debt will be back-valued to, and the interest on the Global Securities will accrue from, the value date (which would be the preceding day when settlement occurred in New York). If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), the Clearstream Banking or Euroclear cash debt will be valued instead as of the actual settlement date.

    Clearstream Banking Participants and Euroclear Participants will need to make available to the respective clearing systems the funds necessary to process same-day funds settlement. The most direct means of doing so is to preposition funds for settlement, either from cash on hand or existing lines of credit, as they would for any settlement occurring within Clearstream Banking or Euroclear. Under this approach, they may take on credit exposure to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear until the Global Securities are credited to their accounts one day later.

    As an alternative, if Clearstream Banking or Euroclear has extended a line of credit to them, Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants can elect not to preposition funds and allow that credit line to be drawn upon to finance settlement. Under this procedure, Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants purchasing Global Securities would incur overdraft charges for one day, assuming they clear the overdraft when the Global Securities are credited to their accounts. However, interest on the Global Securities would accrue from the value date. Therefore, in many cases the investment income on the Global Securities earned during that one-day period may substantially reduce or offset the amount of such overdraft charges, although this result will depend on each Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's particular cost of funds.

    Since the settlement is taking place during New York business hours, DTC Participants can employ their usual procedures for sending Global Securities to the respective European Depositary for the benefit of Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. Thus, to the DTC Participants a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two DTC Participants.

    Trading Between Clearstream Banking or Euroclear Seller and DTC Purchaser.  Due to time zone differences in their favor, Clearstream Banking Participants and Euroclear Participants may employ their customary procedures for transactions in which Global Securities are to be transferred by the respective clearing system, through the respective Depositary, to a DTC Participant. The seller will send instructions to Clearstream Banking or Euroclear through a Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream Banking or Euroclear will instruct the Relevant Depositary, as appropriate, to deliver the Global Securities to the DTC Participant's account against payment. Payment will include interest accrued on the Global Securities from and including the last coupon payment to and excluding the settlement date on the basis of the actual number of days in such accrual period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. For transactions settling on the 31st of the month, payment will include interest accrued to and

A–2


excluding the first day of the following month. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant the following day, and receipt of the cash proceeds in the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account would be back-valued to the value date (which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurred in New York). Should the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant have a line of credit with its respective clearing system and elect to be in debt in anticipation of receipt of the sale proceeds in its account, the back valuation will extinguish any overdraft incurred over that one-day period. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date (i.e., the trade fails), receipt of the cash proceeds in the Clearstream Banking Participant's or Euroclear Participant's account would instead be valued as of the actual settlement date.

    Finally, day traders that use Clearstream Banking or Euroclear and that purchase Global Securities from DTC Participants for delivery to Clearstream Banking Participants or Euroclear Participants should note that these trades would automatically fail on the sale side unless affirmative action were taken. At least three techniques should be readily available to eliminate this potential problem:

        (a) borrowing through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear for one day (until the purchase side of the day trade is reflected in their Clearstream Banking or Euroclear accounts) in accordance with the clearing system's customary procedures;

        (b) borrowing the Global Securities in the U.S. from a DTC Participant no later than one day prior to settlement, which would give the Global Securities sufficient time to be reflected in their Clearstream Banking or Euroclear account in order to settle the sale side of the trade; or

        (c) staggering the value dates for the buy and sell sides of the trade so that the value date for the purchase from the DTC Participant is at least one day prior to the value date for the sale to the Clearstream Banking Participant or Euroclear Participant.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Documentation Requirements

    A beneficial owner of Global Securities holding securities through Clearstream Banking or Euroclear (or through DTC if the holder has an address outside the U.S.) will be subject to the 30% U.S. withholding tax that generally applies to payments of interest (including original issue discount) on registered debt issued by U.S. Persons, unless (i) each clearing system, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business in the chain of intermediaries between such beneficial owner and the U.S. entity required to withhold tax complies with applicable certification requirements and (ii) such beneficial owner takes one of the following steps to obtain an exemption or reduced tax rate:

    Exemption for non-U.S. Persons (Form W-8BEN).  Beneficial owners of Global Securities that are Non-U.S. Persons generally can obtain a complete exemption from the withholding tax by filing a signed Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding). If the information shown on Form W-8BEN changes, a new Form W-8BEN must be filed within 30 days of such change.

    Exemption for non-U.S. Persons with Effectively Connected Income (Form W-8ECI). A non-U.S. Person, including a non-U.S. corporation or bank with a U.S. branch, for which the interest income is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States, generally can obtain an exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim for Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States).

    Exemption or Reduced Rate for non-U.S. Persons Resident in Treaty Countries (Form W-8BEN). Non-U.S. Persons residing in a country that has a tax treaty with the United States can obtain an

A–3


exemption or reduced tax rate depending on the treaty terms) by filing Form W-8BEN. Form W-8BEN may be filed by the Certificate Owners or their agents.

    Exemption for U.S. Persons (Form W-9).  U.S. Persons can obtain a complete exemption from the withholding tax by filing Form W-9 (Payer's Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification).

    U.S. Federal Income Tax Reporting Procedure. The beneficial owner of a Global Security files by submitting the appropriate form to the person though whom it holds (the clearing agency, in the case of persons holding directly on the books of the clearing agency). A Form W-8BEN on which the beneficial owner of a Global Security provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number generally remains in effect until a change in circumstances causes any of the information on the form to be incorrect. A Form W-8ECI and a Form W-8BEN on which a U.S. taxpayer identification number is not provided generally remain in effect for three calendar years, absent a change in circumstances causing any information on the form to be incorrect.

    As used in the foregoing discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means (i) a citizen or resident of the United States who is a natural person, (ii) a corporation or partnership (or an entity treated as a corporation or partnership) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia (unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury Regulations are adopted that provide otherwise), (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to United States Federal income taxation, regardless of its source or (iv) a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as such term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations) 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 prior to August 20, 1996 which elected to be treated as United States persons prior to such date also shall be U.S. Persons. The term "Non-U.S. Person" means any person who is not a U.S. Person. This summary does not deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income tax withholding that may be relevant to foreign holders of Global Securities. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisors for specific tax advice concerning their holding and disposing of Global Securities.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") was incorporated as a California corporation. Section 317 of the California Corporations Code authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful.

    Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC ("TAFR LLC") was organized as a Delaware limited liability company.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

(a)  As to Rule 415: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

    (i)
    to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

    (ii)
    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated

II–2


      maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the change in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

    (iii)
    to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)  As to documents subsequently filed that are incorporated by reference: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as amended, that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

(c)  As to indemnification: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d)  As to Rule 430A: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from the form of prospectus as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.

(e)  As to qualifications of trust indentures under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for delayed offerings: The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

        (ii) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications and where the failure to so qualify will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor to conduct its business or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

7


        (iii)     The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary action.

        (iv) [This Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.]

        (v) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the limited liability company agreement of the Depositor or conflict with or breach any of the terms or provisions or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its properties which breach, default, conflict, lien or violation would have a material adverse effect on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor.

        (vi) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or to the Depositor's knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the Depositor: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or (iv) relating to the Depositor and which might adversely affect the federal income tax attributes of the Trust or the Certificate or the Notes.

    Section 2.10  Federal Income Tax Allocations.  To the extent required for Federal income tax purposes, net income or net losses of the Trust, [excluding any amounts attributable to the Sub-Trust Assets,] for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Certificateholder (to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to this clause). [To the extent required for Federal income tax purposes, net income or net losses of the Sub-Trust Assets for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Sub-Trust Beneficiary (to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to this clause).] The Depositor [and Sub-Trust Depositor, as applicable,] [is][are] authorized to modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Certificateholder[and Sub-Trust Beneficiary, as applicable,] as otherwise required by the Code.

    [Section 2.11  Federal Income Tax Allocations.  Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated:

    (a) among the Certificate Owners as of the first Distribution Date following the end of such month, in proportion to their ownership of principal amount of Certificates on such date, an amount of net income up to the sum of (i) the Certificateholders, Interest Distributable Amount for such month, (ii) interest on the Certificateholders' Interest Carryover Shortfall for such Distribution Date, to the extent permitted by law, at the Pass Through Rate from the preceding Distribution Date through the

8


current Distribution Date, and (iii) any amount expected to be distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.07(g) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to this clause); and

    (b) to the Depositor, to the extent of any remaining net income. If the net income of the Trust for any month is insufficient for the allocations described in clause (a) above, subsequent net income shall first be allocated to make up such shortfall before being allocated as provided in the preceding sentence. Net losses of the Trust, if any, for any month as determined for Federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Depositor to the extent the Depositor has agreed hereunder and under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture to bear the economic burden of such net losses, and any remaining net losses shall be allocated among the Certificate Owners as of the first Distribution Date following the end of such month in proportion to their ownership of principal amount of Certificates as of the close of business on such Distribution Date. The Depositor is authorized to modify the allocations in this paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Depositor or to the Certificate Owners, or as otherwise required by the Code.]

    Section 2.11  [Creation of Sub-Trust.  

    (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall establish one Sub-Trust under this Agreement and allocate the Sub-Trust Assets to such Sub-Trust, and the Owner Trustee shall hold such Sub-Trust Assets as Owner Trustee hereunder for the benefit, and subject to the Operating Agreement with the Sub-Trust Depositor. The Sub-Trust shall be created by the execution and delivery of the Sub-Trust Supplement and shall have the name and beneficiary designated therein and shall be a separate series of the Trust pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Business Trust Statute. The Administrator shall maintain separate and distinct records for the Sub-Trust, and the Sub-Trust Assets shall be held and accounted for separately from the Owner Trust Estate. Subject to the right of the Owner Trustee to allocate certain liabilities, charges and reserves as provided herein and in the Sub-Trust Supplement, and in accordance with Section 3804(a) of the Business Trust Statute or to the extent otherwise permitted by applicable law, all debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Sub-Trust shall be enforceable against the Sub-Trust Assets only, and not against the Owner Trust Estate. Every note, bond, contract or other undertaking issued by or on behalf of the Sub-Trust shall include a recitation limiting the obligation represented thereby to the Sub-Trust and the Sub-Trust Assets. The Certificate of Trust (as corrected, amended or restated) shall include notice, in accordance with Section 3804(a) of the Business Trust Statute, that the Trust is a series trust and the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable against the assets of such series only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally, and none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any other series thereof shall be enforceable against the assets of such series.

    (b) In accordance with Section 3806(b) of the Business Trust Statute, all assets of the Trust that have not been allocated to the Sub-Trust shall constitute, and be defined as, the "Owner Trust Estate" and shall be, and be deemed to be, assets of the Trust separate from the Sub-Trust Assets within the Trust. The Owner Trust Estate shall be a separate series of the Trust pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Business Trust Statute. In accordance with Section 2.11(a) herein, the Administrator shall maintain separate and distinct records for the Owner Trust Estate and the Owner Trust Estate shall be held and accounted for separately from the Sub-Trust. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all income and other amounts with respect to the Owner Trust Estate shall be distributed or retained by the Owner Trustee in accordance with this Agreement.

    (c) The Sub-Trust Depositor shall be liable to third parties (including the Trust with respect to the Owner Trust Estate) and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee, including its officers,

9


directors, employees and agents, for all liabilities incurred in connection with the Sub-Trust Assets, including all taxes assessed on the Trust or the Owner Trustee or any other party resulting from the allocation of the Sub-Trust Assets to the Sub-Trust.

    (d) All third-party creditors of the Trust shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries for purposes of this Section. The indemnities relating to the Sub-Trust contained in this Agreement shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee, or the termination of this Agreement. To the extent provided in this Section, the Depositor and the Sub-Trust Depositor hereto waive the limited liability protection otherwise afforded under the Business Trust Statute (including Section 3803 thereof) or any other law.]


ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATE

    Section 3.01  The Certificate.  The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee and authenticated on behalf of the Owner Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer. The Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of the Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of the Certificate. The Certificate may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

    Section 3.02  Authentication of the Certificate.  Concurrently with the initial sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered on behalf of the Trust to or upon the written order of the Depositor, the Certificate evidencing the Subordinated Seller's Interest.  The Certificate shall not entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent, by manual or facsimile signature of a Trust Officer, and such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

    Section 3.03  Transfer Restriction.  The Certificate shall not be transferable by the Certificateholder to any other Person unless such transfer is a result of or in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Certificateholder with such Person. Any other purported transfer of the Certificate or any beneficial interest therein will be deemed to be void and of no effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.

    Section 3.04  Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.  

    (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. [The Owner Trustee] [  ] shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. In the event that the Certificate Registrar shall for any reason become unable to act as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar shall promptly give written notice to such effect to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Servicer shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in the [Borough of Manhattan], The City of New York, and that shall agree to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement

10


applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to the Owner Trustee, to act as successor Certificate Registrar under this Agreement.

    (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause o as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.08. The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register transfer or exchanges of Certificates for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Certificates.

    (c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

    No transfer of a Certificate shall be made unless the Owner Trustee shall have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Definitive Certificate, such requirement will be satisfied only by the Owner Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit C) to the effect that:

        (i)  such transferee (A) is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), nor a person acting on behalf of a Plan nor using the assets of a Plan to effect such transfer, and (B) is not an insurance company purchasing a Certificate with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) as to which there is a Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and liabilities for the contracts held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTCE 95-60) of by the same employee organization exceed 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTCE 95-60) at the date of acquisition; or

        (ii) is a Plan or is an insurance company purchasing a Certificate with funds contained in an insurance company general account, having attached thereto an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of either the Owner Trustee or the Trust, addressed to the Owner Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in the assets of the Owner Trust Estate being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Owner Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.

    For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to a Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, in the event the Transferee Certificate is not furnished, the representations contained in clause (i) above shall be deemed to have been made to the Owner Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquiror's) acceptance of such Certificate. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code or to an insurance company purchasing with funds from a general

11


account not exempt pursuant to PTCE 95-60 without the delivery to the Owner Trustee of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee as described in clause (ii) above shall be void and of no effect.

    To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Owner Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.04(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

    (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.]

    Section 3.05  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificate.  If (a) a mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or if the Owner Trustee shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Owner Trustee's authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

    Section 3.06  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Owner Trustee shall maintain in [Chicago, Illinois or the City of New York] an office or offices or agency or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates            as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Certificateholder of any change in the location of any such office or agency.

    Section 3.07  Appointment of Paying Agent.  Except during any period when the Indenture Trustee is authorized and directed to do so under the Indenture (i.e. prior to the termination of the Indenture), the Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholder from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.02 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Owner Trustee and any co-paying Agent chosen by the Owner Trustee and acceptable to the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee. In the event that the Owner Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). By executing this Agreement, the Owner Trustee hereby agrees in its capacity as Paying Agent to hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder until such sums are paid to the Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner

12


Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholder. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06, 8.01 and 8.02 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

    [Section 3.08  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.]

    [Section 3.09  Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.  The Certificate Registrar Trustee shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, within 15 days after its receipt of a request therefor from the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor in writing, a list, in such form as the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Certificateholders or one or more Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Certificate Balance apply in writing to the Owner Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Certificateholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.]

    [Section 3.10  Ownership by the Depositor of Certificates.  The Depositor shall on the Closing Date purchase, and shall thereafter retain beneficial and record ownership of, Certificates representing at least 1% of the Certificate Balance. Any attempted transfer of any Certificate that would reduce such interest of the Depositor below 1% of the Certificate Balance shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause at least one Certificate issued to the Depositor (representing at least 1% of the Certificate Balance) to bear a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NON-TRANSFERABLE".]

    [Section 3.11  Book-Entry Certificates.  The Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust; provided, however, that one Definitive Certificate may be issued to the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.10. Such Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant Section 3.13:

    (a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

13


    (b) the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Agreement (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;

    (c) to the extent that the provisions of this section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall control;

    (d) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency (or through procedures established by the Clearing Agency) and shall be limited to those established by law and the agreements between the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

    (e) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the Certificate Balance, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the Owner Trustee.]

    [Section 3.12  Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate owners pursuant to Section 3.13, the Owner Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Certificate Owners.]

    [Section 3.13  Definitive Certificates.  If (i) the Depositor or the Administrator advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Certificates, and the Depository or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor or the Administrator at its option advises the Owner Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least 51% of the Certificate Balance advise the Clearing Agency and the Owner Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Certificate Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate Owners and the Owner Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Owner Trustee of the typewritten Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency accompanied by registration instructions, the Owner Trustee shall execute and authenticate the related temporary Certificates or Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Owner Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders. The Definitive Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, as evidenced by its execution thereof. The Owner Trustee and Administrator shall have no liability if they are unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency.]

14


    [Section 3.14  Temporary Certificates.  Pending the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may execute, authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates, printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued. If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause Definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for Definitive Certificates upon surrender thereof at the office or agency to be maintained as provided in Section 3.08, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Certificates in authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the related Definitive Certificates.]

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collection Account and the Payahead Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder. If, at any time, the Collection Account or the Payahead Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Owner Trustee (or the Administrator on behalf of the Owner Trustee, if the Collection Account is not then held by the Owner Trustee or an affiliate thereof) shall within 10 Business Days establish a new equivalent Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new account.

    (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, concurrently with, the execution and delivery of any Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are issued, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or shall cause to be established and maintained, at the direction of the Depositor, accounts of the Trust ("Trust Accounts") in the name of and under the control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders, in each case in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee shall thereupon promptly transfer any cash and/or investments then on deposit in the equivalent Trust Accounts maintained by it pursuant to Section 5.01(a) to the newly established Trust Accounts on the

16


terms and conditions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer back to the equivalent Trust Accounts established pursuant to Section 5.01(a) all funds or investments held or to be held in the Trust Accounts established pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) on the Payment Date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full or the Indenture is otherwise terminated (excluding any amounts to be retained for distribution in respect of Notes that are not promptly delivered for payment on such Payment Date), and to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all right, title and interest of the Indenture Trustee in such funds or investments and all proceeds thereof, to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder.

    Section 5.02  Application of Amounts in Trust Accounts.  

    (a) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, on each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee will take reasonable steps to determine that the Servicer has properly delivered the Servicer's Certificate identifying how amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts are to be allocated and distributed and will instruct the Indenture Trustee, or cause the Indenture Trustee to be instructed, to distribute to the Certificateholder the amounts distributable thereto pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 of the Indenture. From and after the date on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full, on each Payment Date the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholder amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer pursuant to Sections 5.06(c) and (d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon the release from the Lien of the Indenture of amounts on deposit in any of the Trust Accounts or any other portion of the Owner Trust Estate, the Owner Trustee will cause such property to be properly deposited into Trust Accounts under the control of the Owner Trustee or distributed to the Certificateholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee will distribute amounts released from the Reserve Fund or Yield Maintenance Account as amounts in excess of the Required Reserve Fund Balance or the Yield Maintenance Required Amount, as the case may be, solely to the Depositor, and thereafter neither the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Administrator or any Securityholder will have any right, title, interest or claim in or to such property.

    (b) On each Payment Date, the Owner Trustee shall send to the Certificateholder the statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date.

    (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's distributions (or allocations of income) to the [Certificateholder][Owner], such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the [Certificateholder][Owner] in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee and Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the [Certificateholder][Owner] sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax or the withholding requirement with respect to any such tax in appropriate proceedings if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the [Certificateholder][Owner] shall be treated as cash distributed to the [Certificateholder][Owner] at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), the Owner Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event that the [Certificateholder][Owner] wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the [Certificateholder][Owner] in making such claim so long as the [Certificateholder][Owner] agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith.

    Section 5.03  Method of Payment.  Subject to Section 9.01(c), distributions required to be made to the Certificateholder on any Payment Date shall be made to the Certificateholder [of record on the related Record Date either by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder

17


appearing in the Certificate Register or] by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the [Owner Trustee][Certificate Registrar] appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date [and such Holder's Certificates in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000].

    Section 5.04  Accounting and Reports to the Noteholders, the Certificateholder, the Internal Revenue Service and Others.  The Owner Trustee shall (a) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust [and the Sub-Trust] on a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting, (b) deliver to the [Certificateholder][Owner] [or Sub-Trust Beneficiary, as applicable,] as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, such information as may be required (including Schedule K-1) to enable the [Certificateholder][Owner] [or Sub-Trust Beneficiary, as applicable,] to prepare their federal and state income tax returns, (c) prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file any tax and information returns, and fulfill any other reporting requirements, relating to the Trust [and Sub-Trust], as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (including Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-7), including causing such tax and information returns to be signed in the manner required by law, (d) for any period during which the beneficial ownership interests in the Trust [or Sub-Trust] [is][are] held by more than one person, make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable state or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust's [or Sub-Trust's] characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (e) collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.02(c) with respect to income or distributions to the [Certificateholder][Owner] [or Sub-Trust Beneficiary, as applicable]. The Owner Trustee shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any market discount that accrues with respect to the Receivables. The Owner Trustee shall not make the election provided under Section 754 of the Code.

    Section 5.05  Signature on Returns; Tax Matters Partner.  

    (a) The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust [and the Sub-Trust] the tax returns of the Trust [and the Sub-Trust], unless applicable law requires the [Certificateholder][Owner] [or Sub-Trust Beneficiary] to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall be signed by the [Company][Administrator, pursuant to the power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04].

    (b) [For any period during which the beneficial ownership interests of the Trust are held by more than one Person, the Certificateholder holding Certificates evidencing the largest portion of the Certificates shall be designated the "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, but hereby delegates its powers and duties as such to the Administrator pursuant to the power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04. For any period during which the beneficial ownership interests of the Sub-Trust are held by more than one Person, the Sub-Trust Beneficiary holding the largest beneficial interest of the Sub-Trust shall be designated the "tax matters partner" of the Sub-Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, but hereby delegates its powers and duties as such to the Administrator pursuant to the power-of-attorney granted thereto pursuant to Section 2.04.]

    [(b) The Company shall be designated the "tax matters partner" of the Trust pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7)(A) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.]

In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.02.

    Section 10.02  Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.  The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. [If any time the Owner Trustee is deemed to have a conflict of interest under the TIA, because of its roles as both Owner Trustee hereunder and Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall resign as Owner Trustee hereunder. The Owner Trustee shall also resign hereunder if any Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and it is necessary to eliminate any conflict of interest under the TIA with the Indenture Trustee or any other trustee under the Indenture. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which shall be delivered to each of the resigning Owner Trustee and the successor Owner Trustee.

    If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 and shall fail to resign promptly, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee by written instrument to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and the successor Owner Trustee and shall pay or cause to be paid all fees, expenses and other compensation then owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

    Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

    Section 10.03  Successor Owner Trustee.  Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

    No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall meet the criteria for eligibility set forth in Section 10.01.

    Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies.

    Section 10.05  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate [or Sub-Trust Assets] or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate [or Sub-Trust Assets], and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 25 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.03.

        (ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

        (iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

    Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as if given to each of them. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the powers and duties conferred thereto under this Agreement, shall be vested with the estates or specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

    [Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect, of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.]

    Section 10.06  [Power of Attorney for Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name.

(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of TAFR LLC, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. or any of their respective affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

    THIS CERTIFIES THAT            is the registered owner of            DOLLARS nonassessable, fully-paid, fractional undivided interest in Toyota Auto Receivables 200 Owner Trust (the "Trust") formed by TAFR LLC.

    The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of            , (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"), between TAFR LLC, as depositor (the "Depositor") and      , as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust Agreement or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of      (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"), among the Trust, the Depositor and TMCC, as servicer (the "Servicer"), as applicable.

    This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as "  % Asset Backed Certificates" (the "Certificates") issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement. Certain debt instruments evidencing obligations of the Trust have been issued under an Indenture dated as of  , between the Trust and  , as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), consisting of three classes of Notes designated as "Class A-1 % Asset Backed Notes", "Class A-2 o% Asset Backed Notes" and "Class A-3  % Asset Backed Notes" (collectively, the "Notes"). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new and/or used automobiles and light duty trucks (the "Receivables"), all monies due thereunder on or after      , in the case of Precomputed Receivables or received after such date in the case of Simple Interest Receivables, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing.

    The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

    It is the intent of the Depositor, TMCC and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of federal income tax, state and local income tax, any state single business tax and any other income taxes, the Trust will be treated as a partnership and the Certificateholders (including the Depositor) will be treated as partners in that partnership. The Depositor and each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, by acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest on a Certificate, agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Certificates as partnership interests in the Trust for such tax purposes.

    Each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, by its acceptance of a Certificate or any beneficial interest in a Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, as the case may be, will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Trust, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Trust of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the Basic Documents. Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement by the Owner Trustee by wire transfer or check mailed to each Certificateholder of record without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon, except that with respect to Certificates registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for this purpose by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of [Manhattan], The City of New York.

    Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

    Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

    THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF [DELAWARE], WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE)

    The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, TMCC, TAFR LLC, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. or any of their Affiliates and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

    The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the holders of the Notes or, with respect to certain matters not affecting the interests of the Noteholders, at least 51% of the Certificates each voting together as a single class (excluding Securities held by TAFR LLC, TMCC or any of their Affiliates). Any such consent by the holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefore or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate or such replacement certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Certificates.

    As provided in the Trust Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of [Manhattan] in The City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is      , [City, State].

    The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

    The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

    The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Owner Trust Estate. TMCC, as servicer of the Receivables under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any successor servicer, may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable only after the last day of the Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance.

In the event that a transfer is to be made to an institutional accredited investor as described in clause (iv), the Indenture Trustee shall require that the transferee execute a representation letter acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer certifying to the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation shall not be an expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer. In the case of a transfer under either clause (ii) or clause (iv), the Holder of a Class A-1 Note desiring to effect such transfer, shall and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state and foreign securities laws. Neither the Servicer, the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is under any obligation to register any Class A-1 Notes under the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prospective purchasers of the Class A-1 Notes are hereby notified that the seller of any Class A-1 Notes may be relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act provided by Rule 144A under the Act.

    The Class A-1 Notes, this Indenture and related documents may be amended or supplemented from time to time without the consent of any Noteholder to modify restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfer of such Class A-1 Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or practices relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities generally.

    (c) Upon the proper surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture

10


Trustee shall authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

    (d) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

    (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

    (f)  All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed pursuant to Section 2.08.

    SECTION 2.05  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class. In connection with the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

    If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

    Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder.

    The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

    SECTION 2.06  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

11


    SECTION 2.07  Payments of Principal and Interest.

    (a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period at the Class A-1 Rate, the Class A-2 Rate, the Class A-3 Rate and the Class A-4 Rate, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each related Payment Date as specified in such Notes, pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 3.01 hereof. Any installment of interest or principal payable on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class postage prepaid to such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date, which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

    (b) [During a Revolving Period, the principal of each Note shall be payable to a principal collection account for the purchase of additional Receivables pursuant to Section  of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.] [During an Amortization Period, the principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and subject to the availability of funds therefor.] [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02.] All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. In accordance with Section 10.01, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to such final Payment Date, shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

    (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to the Noteholders, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholders in accordance with this Section. The Issuer will instruct the Indenture Trustee regarding the imposition of such withholding tax and, upon receiving such instruction, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Noteholders shall be treated as cash distributed to the Noteholders at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to any distribution (such as any distribution to a Non-U.S. Person), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (c). In the event that any Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Noteholder in making such claim so long as the Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

12


    SECTION 2.08  Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

    SECTION 2.09  Release of Collateral.  Subject to Sections 10.01 and 11.01 and the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(l) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates.

    SECTION 2.10  Book-Entry Notes.  The Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, or a custodian therefor, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof will receive a definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

    (a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

    (b) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the authorized representative of such Note Owners;

    (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

    (d) the rights of such Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued in respect of the Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

    (e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and/or the Class A-4 Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or of any such Class or of two or more of such Classes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners of Book-Entry Notes and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in such Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

13


    SECTION 2.11  Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the Note Owners of Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Notes to the Clearing Agency and shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery to the Clearing Agency.

    SECTION 2.12  Definitive Notes.  The Class A-1 Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued as Definitive Notes. In the case of the Book-Entry Notes, if (i) the Owner Trustee or the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Owner Trustee and the Administrator are unable to locate a qualified successor (and if the Administrator has made such determination, the Administrator has given written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee), (ii) the Seller or the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee at its option advises each other such party in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Book-Entry Notes, advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or a successor thereto is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners acting together as a single Class, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Administrator shall not be liable for any inability to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. From and after the date of issuance of Definitive Notes, all notices to be given to Noteholders will be mailed thereto at their addresses of record in the Note Register as of the relevant Record Date. Such notices will be deemed to have been given as of the date of mailing.

    SECTION 2.13  Tax Treatment.  The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.


ARTICLE III

    SECTION 3.01  Payments to Noteholders, Certificateholders, [Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [Swap Counterparty,] Servicer and Seller.  In accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Issuer will duly and punctually (i) pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, [(ii) pay to the Swap Counterparty any Swap Payments Outgoing and Swap Termination Payment when due,] [(iii) pay to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note payments under the Revolving Liquidity Note when due,] and (iv) release from the Collection Account, Principal Distribution Account and Payahead Account all other amounts distributable or payable from the Owner Trust Estate (including distributions to be made to the Certificateholders on any Payment Date) under the Trust Agreement, Sale and Servicing Agreement, [the Revolving Liquidity Note

Without limiting the foregoing, and in order to fulfill such obligations, pursuant to Sections 8.02 and 8.04 hereof, the Issuer will cause the Servicer to direct the Indenture Trustee to apply all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, Payahead Account and Reserve Account on a Payment Date deposited therein pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (i) (a) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class A-1 Noteholders, (b) for the benefit of the Class A-2 Notes, to the Class A-2 Noteholders, (c) for the benefit of the Class A-3 Notes, to the Class A-3 Noteholders and (d) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the Class A-4 Noteholders, in each case as set forth in Sections 5.06 and 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, [(ii) for the benefit of the Swap Counterparty, to or as directed by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement;] [(iii) for the benefit of the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, as set forth in Section 5.06 and 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement;] (iv) for the benefit of the Servicer, to or as directed by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (v) for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to or as directed by the Owner Trustee or the Administrator, as set forth in Sections 5.06 and 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (vi) for the benefit of the Seller, to or as directed by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder or the Certificateholders of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder or the Certificateholders for all purposes of this Indenture.

    SECTION 3.02  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

    SECTION 3.03  Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.  All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes, [the Revolving Liquidity Note or the Certificate,] or [to the Swap Counterparty (to the extent such payments to the Swap Counterparty were not deducted from amounts remitted to the Collection Account by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement)] that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account, Principal Distribution Account or Reserve Fund [(provided that only the Collection Account is available for any amounts payable to the Swap Counterparty)] pursuant to Sections 2.07, 3.01, 4.02 and 4.03 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by a Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from such accounts for payments of Notes, [the Revolving Liquidity Note,] the Certificates [or to the Swap Counterparty (provided that such amounts payable to the Swap Counterparty were not deducted from amounts remitted to the Collection Account by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement)] shall be paid over to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Administrator except as provided in this Section.

    On or before each Payment Date, the Issuer shall deposit in the Collection Account or, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, cause to be deposited (including the provision of instructions to the Indenture Trustee to make any required [draws on the Revolving Liquidity Note or] withdrawals from the Payahead Account or Reserve Account and to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account) to the extent of funds available therefor, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes and the Certificates, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

15


    The Indenture Trustee, as Paying Agent, hereby agrees with the Issuer that it will, and the Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee, as a condition to its acceptance of its appointment as Paying Agent, to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

    (a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes, [the Revolving Liquidity Note,] the Certificates [or to the Swap Counterparty] or for release to the Issuer for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay or release such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

    (b) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes [or to the Swap Counterparty] or the release of any amounts to the Issuer to be paid to the Certificateholders;

    (c) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

    (d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes (or for release to the Issuer)[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] [or to the Swap Counterparty] if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

    (e) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] or the Certificates (or assisting the Issuer to withhold from payment to the Certificateholders) [or to the Swap Counterparty] of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

    The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

    Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed after such amount has become due and payable and after the Indenture Trustee has taken the steps described in the next paragraph shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the California Special Olympics upon presentation thereto of an Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

    In the event that any Noteholder shall not surrender its Notes for retirement within six months after the date specified in the written notice of final payment described in Section 2.07, the Indenture will give a second written notice to the registered Noteholders that have not surrendered their Notes for final payment and retirement. If within one year after such second notice any Notes have not been surrendered, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains

16


unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to California Special Olympics. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment specified by the Issuer or the Administrator.

    SECTION 3.04  Existence.  The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or the Owner Trust Estate.

    SECTION 3.05  Protection of Trust Estate.  The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

    (a) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

    (b) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

    (c) enforce any of the Collateral [(including all rights under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] and [Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement)];

    (d) [make draw requests pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement under any circumstance in which the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee has the right to make such draws pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement;] or

    (e) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Trust Estate against the claims of all persons and parties.

    The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.05.

    SECTION 3.06  Opinions as to Trust Estate.

    (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any requisite financing statements and continuation statements and any other requisite documents necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture or stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

    (b) As and when specified in Section 10.02(h) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other requisite documents necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the

17


execution, recording, filing or re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, any financing statements and continuation statements and any other documents that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until the date in the following calendar year on which such Opinion of Counsel must again be delivered.

    SECTION 3.07  Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

    (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except [in each case] as expressly provided in the Basic Documents [and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement].

    (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

    (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of the Trust Agreement, this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

    (d) If an Authorized Officer of the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default, and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such Servicer Default and proposed actions of the Issuer. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

    (e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or if the Servicer resigns in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice of such event to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency and shall act to appoint a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"). Any such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and shall thereafter be entitled to the Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.

    In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree, subject to the

18


limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer's duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI hereof shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as a subservicer any one of its affiliates, provided that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Successor Servicer, shall remain fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate.

    (f)  Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees that it will not enter into any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver with respect to any Basic Document [and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] except (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [the Swap Counterparty] or the Certificateholders, and in each case with the consent of the Indenture Trustee (but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders) and delivery of an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [the Swap Counterparty] or the Certificateholders; (ii) for the purpose of changing the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance, the manner in which the Reserve Account is funded, changing the remittance schedule for the deposit of collections with respect to the Receivables in the Collection Account or Payahead Account pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or changing the definition of Eligible Investment, in each case with the consent of the Indenture Trustee (but without the consent of any of the Noteholders[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [the Swap Counterparty] or the Certificateholders) if the Indenture Trustee and/or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, has received a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such Rating Agency will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such amendment (provided that no such amendment may increase or reduce in any manner or accelerate or delay the timing of collections on the Receivables or payments required to be made to any Class of Notes or the Certificate without the consent of all Holders of each affected Class); or (iii) with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to such action set forth in the related Basic Document [and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement]. If any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be so consented to by the Indenture Trustee or such Holders, as applicable, the Issuer agrees, promptly following a request by the Indenture Trustee to agree to such amendment and to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as the Indenture Trustee may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances to implement such amendment and to cause the relevant Basic Documents [and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement], as amended, to be enforceable against the Issuer.

    SECTION 3.08  Negative Covenants.  So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

    (a) except as expressly permitted by Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee;

19


any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate;

    (d) assume or incur any indebtedness other than the Notes[, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] or [the Revolving Liquidity Note] or as expressly contemplated by this Indenture (in connection with the obligation to reimburse Advances from the Trust Estate, or to pay expenses from the Trust Estate) or by the Basic Documents as in effect on the date hereof.

    SECTION 3.09  Annual Statement as to Compliance.  The Issuer will cause the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee concurrently with its delivery thereof to the Issuer the annual statement of compliance described in Section 4.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, on the same date annually upon which such annual statement of compliance is to be delivered by the Servicer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Officer's Certificate, that:

    (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

    (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and, incidentally thereto, the Certificateholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

    (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, then, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

        (i)  to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and the Certificates, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders allowed in such Proceedings;

        (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

        (iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [the Swap Counterparty] or the Certificateholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

        (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes[, the Swap Counteparty] or [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, [the Swap Counterparty] and [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

    (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

    (f)  All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, [the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or [the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture

28


Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes [and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and, incidentally thereto, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

    (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders [and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note], and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] a party to any such Proceedings.

    SECTION 5.04  Remedies; Priorities; Insolvency of Seller.

    (a) If an Event of Default under Section 5.01 shall have occurred and be continuing which results in the acceleration of the Notes (whether or not the Trust Estate is sold in one or more public or private sales as provided in Section 5.04(c)(iv)), and unless and until such acceleration has been rescinded, the Indenture Trustee will make payments on the Notes[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] and the Certificates as set forth in Section 5.06(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, rather than pursuant to Section 5.06(c).

    (b) If the Indenture Trustee, in compliance with Section 5.04(a), is deemed to have a conflict of interest under the TIA and is required to resign as Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Indenture Trustee, pursuant to Section 6.10, may appoint an indenture trustee to act separately hereunder for the Class A Notes. In the event a separate indenture trustee is appointed for the Class A Notes, so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to the Class A Notes, only the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Noteholders shall be entitled to waive any Event of Default or Servicer Default or exercise any remedies under this Indenture.

    (c) In accordance with Section 5.03, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

        (i)  institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes[, to the Swap Counterparty,] [to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer[, the Swap Counterparty] and any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

        (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

        (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and

        (iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a), (b) or (g), unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto or (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds on an ongoing basis to make all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been

29


    declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (acting together as a single class). In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. In connection with any such sale, the Indenture Trustee will afford the Holders of each Class of Notes adequate advance notice and information as to the conduct of such sale such that any such Holders (acting individually, as Classes, as a single Class or otherwise) will be reasonably able to submit bids for the purchase of the assets to be liquidated, and that the Indenture Trustee will consider any and all such bids on the same basis that it considers any other bids submitted by any other party or parties. The proceeds of such sale or liquidation (net of the expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the conduct thereof, which will be retained by the Indenture Trustee from such proceeds) will be treated as collections and deposited into the Collection Account by the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders[, the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] and the Certificateholders in accordance with the priorities specified in Section 5.06(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee will have no liability with respect to the amount of such proceeds or the adequacy thereof to make payments in full of any Class of Notes or the Certificate.

    The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the related record date, payment date and amount to be paid.

    (d) If an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Seller, the Indenture Trustee (or the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Notes, pursuant to Section 5.04(c)) will sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee (or the Indenture Trustee for the Class A Notes, pursuant to Section 5.04(c)) may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate in connection with such event if, prior to the termination of the Trust Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Trust Agreement, the Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes so long as any amounts remain unpaid with respect to such Notes (excluding from such action and calculation all Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) notify the Indenture Trustee in writing that they disapprove of such sale or liquidation and the termination of trusts created hereby in connection therewith; and provided, further, that in connection with any such sale the Indenture Trustee will afford the Holders of each Class of Notes adequate advance notice and information as to the conduct of such sale such that any such Holders (acting individually, as Classes, as a single Class or otherwise) will be reasonably able to submit bids for the purchase of the assets to be liquidated, and that the Indenture Trustee will consider any and all such bids on the same basis that it considers any other bids submitted by any other party or parties. The proceeds of such sale or liquidation (net of the expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the conduct thereof, which will be retained by the Indenture Trustee from such proceeds) will be treated as collections and deposited into the Collection Account by the Indenture Trustee for distribution to the Noteholders[, the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and Certificateholders in accordance with the priorities specified in Section 5.06(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee will have no liability with respect to the amount of such proceeds or the adequacy thereof to make payments in full of any Class of Notes[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] or the Certificates. The Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the commercial reasonableness of the conduct

30


of any such sale or liquidation and as to the expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith, the costs of which may be retained by the Indenture Trustee from the proceeds of such sale or liquidation.

    SECTION 5.05  Optional Preservation of the Receivables.  Except as provided in Section 5.04(c)(iv), if the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, unless otherwise directed by the Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, acting together as a single class (excluding from such action and calculation all Notes held by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and direct the Issuer, Servicer and Administrator not to take steps to liquidate the Receivables. It is the desire of the parties hereto[, the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of [any obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the Swap Counterparty and] principal of and interest on the Notes, [payment of amounts due to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

    SECTION 5.06  Limitation of Suits.  No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default, and:

    (a) the Event of Default arises from the Servicer's failure to remit payments when due or

    (b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, acting together as a single class, have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder and have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request and the Indenture Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings.

    It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

    SECTION 5.07  Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note [and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (subject to the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement)] shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (in each case with reference to the calculations to be made pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement [and in the case of the Revolving Liquidity Note, only to the extent amounts are available therefor under the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement]) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

    SECTION 5.08  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding

31


has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

    SECTION 5.09  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

    SECTION 5.10  Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

32


    SECTION 5.11  Control by Noteholders.  The Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, acting together as a single class, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

        (i)  such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

        (ii) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the relevant Class set forth in Section 5.04 or 5.05, as applicable (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); and

        (iii)     the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

    Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Sections 5.07 and 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines would be illegal or may not lawfully be taken, might subject it to personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

    SECTION 5.12  Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 or the liquidation or sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04, the Holders of Notes representing at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (acting together as a single Class)[, without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate or the Revolving Liquidity Note] (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); may waive any past Default, Event of Default or Servicer Default and its consequences except a (a) Servicer Default in the deposit of collections or other required amounts into the Collection Account, Principal Distribution Account, Payahead Account or Reserve Fund, or (b) Default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

    Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

    SECTION 5.13  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note or Note Owner by such Holder's acceptance of such Note or beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, [and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note by such Holder's acceptance of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement,] shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of Notes, or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] for the enforcement

33


of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note [or Revolving Liquidity Note] on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] and in this Indenture.

    SECTION 5.14  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

    SECTION 5.15  Action on Notes.  The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes[, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] [the Revolving Liquidity Note] or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.06.

    SECTION 5.16  Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.  

    (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller[,] [and] the Servicer[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and [the Swap Counterparty], as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] and [the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] or by the Seller of its remedies under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement [and the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller[,] [or] the Servicer [or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller[,] [or] the Servicer[, or the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] of each of their respective obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement [and the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement].

    (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone, confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) of the Holders of 662/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (acting together as a single class but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), shall exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller[,] [or] the Servicer[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] or [the Swap Counterparty] under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] and [the Interest Rate Swap Agreement], against the Seller under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, [or against the Administrator under the Administration Agreement,] including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller[,] [or] the Servicer [or the Administrator], of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension, or waiver thereunder and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

The Indenture Trustee

    SECTION 6.01  Duties of Indenture Trustee.  

    (a) The Indenture Trustee, both prior to and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture.

    (b) The Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

    (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that:

        (i)  the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee, the permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this Indenture;

        (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

        (iii)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (acting together as a single class but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. Moreover, if more than one Indenture Trustee has been appointed, each Indenture Trustee shall owe any and all fiduciary duties only to the Class or Classes of Notes on whose behalf it shall have been appointed.

    (d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

    (e) All information obtained by the Indenture Trustee regarding the Obligors and the Receivables contained in the Trust, whether upon the exercise of its rights under this Indenture or otherwise, shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee in confidence and shall not be disclosed to any other Person, unless such disclosure is required by any applicable law or regulation or pursuant to subpoena.

    (f) Pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 4.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, in the event that a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee discovers that a representation or warranty with respect to a Receivable was incorrect as of the time specified with respect to such representation and warranty or that a covenant of the Servicer has been breached, and such incorrectness or breach materially and

35


adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee of such incorrectness.

    SECTION 6.02  Rights of Indenture Trustee.  

    (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01:

        (i)  the Indenture Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of an authorized signatory, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

        (ii) the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it under this Indenture in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;

        (iii)     the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (except as specified in Section 3.05(d) herein)] or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture, or in relation to this Indenture[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;

        (v) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to recalculate, reverify, or make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes (acting together as a single class but excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Administrator or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Administrator upon demand; and nothing in this clause shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and

    (b) No Noteholder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture except upon satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 5.06.

    SECTION 6.03  Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the Holder, beneficial owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise

deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, in so doing the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

    SECTION 6.04  Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer.  The Indenture Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement,] [the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] or the Notes (other than the execution by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust of, and the certificate of authentication on, the Notes), or of the Certificates. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the duties of the Servicer or the Administrator unless explicitly set forth in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of the Notes[, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or any Receivable, any ownership interest in any Financed Vehicle, or the maintenance of any such ownership interest, or for or with respect to the efficacy of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Noteholders under this Indenture[, to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or [to the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement], including without limitation the validity of the assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the existence, condition, location and ownership of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any physical damage or credit life or credit disability insurance; the existence and contents of any retail installment sales contract or any computer or other record thereof; the completeness of any retail installment sales contract; the performance or enforcement of any retail installment sales contract; the compliance by the Issuer with any covenant or the breach by the Issuer, Seller or Servicer of any warranty or representation made under this Indenture or in any Basic Document or other related document and the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Indenture Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any noncompliance therewith or any breach thereof; the acts or omissions of the Issuer, Seller or the Servicer; or any action by the Indenture Trustee taken at the instruction of the Servicer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Indenture. Except with respect to a claim based on the failure of the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties under this Indenture or based on the Indenture Trustee's willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, no recourse shall be had for any claim based on any provision of this Indenture[, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] [the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement], the Notes or the Certificates or assignment thereof against the institution serving as the Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any personal obligation, liability or duty whatsoever to any Noteholder[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] [the Swap Counterparty] or any other Person with respect to any such claim, and any such claim shall be asserted solely against the Issuer or any indemnitor who shall furnish indemnity as provided in this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Notes or of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Notes.

    SECTION 6.05  Notice of Defaults.  If a Trust Officer of the Indenture Trustee knows that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder [and the Swap Counterparty] notice of such Default within 10 days of the discovery thereof. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

    SECTION 6.06  Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.  The Indenture Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee shall also deliver or cause to be delivered annually to each Noteholder of record a report relating to its eligibility

37


and qualification to continue as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, any amounts advanced by it under this Indenture, the amount, interest rate and maturity date of certain indebtedness owed by the Issuer to such Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity, the property and funds physically held by such Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such, and any action taken by it that materially affects the Notes and that has not been previously reported.

    SECTION 6.07  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall pay or shall cause the Servicer to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. In case any such action is brought against the Indenture Trustee under this Section 6.07 and it notifies the Issuer of the commencement thereof, the Issuer will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Indenture Trustee stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Administrator), and neither the Issuer nor the Administrator will be liable to the Indenture Trustee under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

    The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or (f) or the Issuer incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

    SECTION 6.08  Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by providing written notice of its resignation to the Issuer. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, may remove the Indenture Trustee if:

    (a) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

    (b) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

    (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

    (d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes legally or practically incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder.

    If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08.

38


    A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, to the Servicer and to the Administrator. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders [and the Swap Counterparty]. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

    If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

    If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may at any time thereafter petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

    Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

    SECTION 6.09  Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.  If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee if such surviving Person or transferee corporation or bank shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies reasonable prior written notice of any such transaction.

    In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

    SECTION 6.10  Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.  

    (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof.

39


    (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

        (i)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in and/or directing such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

        (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

        (iii)     the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

    (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts thereupon conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

    (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

    SECTION 6.11  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it or its parent shall have a long-term debt rating of Baa3 or better by Moody's or shall otherwise be acceptable to Moody's. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

    SECTION 6.12  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.  The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

    SECTION 6.13  [Revolving Liquidity Note Provisions.  The Issuer has entered into the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, as a credit and liquidity enhancement arrangement that will provide funding for certain required payments of principal and

40


interest on the Notes in the event that Available Collection and any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account that are available therefore are insufficient to fund such required payments. All payments owed by the Issuer to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note will be fully subordinated to payments of principal and interest on the Class A Notes.

        (a) As provided in Sections 5.06 and 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will be responsible for remitting all payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note.

        (b) Upon the occurrence of a default by the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note of its funding obligations pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, if the Notes are accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the priority of payments relating to the Class A Notes shall change to those set forth in Section 5.06(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

        (c) Prior to the termination of this Indenture, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement may be amended by the Issuer and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholder. Prior to the termination of this Indenture, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement may also be amended by the Issuer and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder only if the Indenture Trustee (i) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such amendment and (ii) has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. After the termination of this Indenture, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement may be amended in writing by the Issuer and the Holder without notice to or consent of any other Person.]

    SECTION 6.14  [Interest Rate Swap Provisions.  The Issuer has entered into the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, to hedge the floating rate interest expense on the Class A-3 Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, enter into one or more replacement Interest Rate Swap Agreements in the event that any Interest Rate Swap Agreement is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration pursuant to a Swap Event of Default or a Swap Termination Event. All Swap Payments Outgoing and Swap Termination Payments owed by the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty will rank senior to interest payments on the Class A Notes.

41


          (a) Except as provided in Section 5.04(e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will be responsible for remitting all Swap Payments Outgoing and any Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Counterparty and for collecting Swap Payments Incoming and any Swap Termination Payments payable by the Swap Counterparty.

          (b) Upon the occurrence of (i) any Swap Event of Default arising from any action taken, or failure to act, by the Swap Counterparty, or (ii) any Swap Termination Event (except as described in the following sentence) with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is an Affected Party (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement), the Indenture Trustee may and will, at the direction of the Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, acting together as a single Class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), designate an Early Termination Date (as defined in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) with respect to the Swap Agreement. If a Swap Termination Event occurs (i) as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer or the Swap Counterparty or (ii) because the Issuer or the Swap Counterparty becomes subject to registration as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Indenture Trustee will designate an Early Termination Date.

          (c) At least five days before the effective date of any proposed amendment or supplement to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Administrator shall provide the Rating Agencies with a copy of such amendment or supplement. Unless the amendment or supplement clarifies any term or provisions, corrects any inconsistency, cures any ambiguity, or corrects any typographical error in the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, an amendment or supplement to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement will be effective only after satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

          (d) The Administrator shall notify the Swap Counterparty of any proposed amendment or supplement to any of the Basic Documents. If such proposed amendment or supplement would adversely affect any of the Swap Counterparty's rights or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or modify the obligations of, or impair the ability of the Issuer to fully perform any of its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Administrator shall obtain the consent of the Swap Counterparty prior to the adoption of such amendment of supplement, provided, the Swap Counterparty's consent to any such amendment or supplement shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further, the Swap Counterparty's consent will be deemed to have been given if the Swap Counterparty does not object to writing within ten Business Days of receipt of a written request for such consent.]


ARTICLE VII

Noteholders' Lists and Reports

    SECTION 7.01  Note Registrar To Furnish Names and Addresses of Noteholders.  The Note Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Servicer or Administrator, within 15 days after receipt by the Note Registrar of a written request therefrom, a list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of any Class as of the most recent Record Date. If three or more Holders of Notes of any Class, or one or more Holders of such Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Applicants"), apply in writing to the Indenture Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of

42


such application, afford such Applicants access, during normal business hours, to the current list of Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee may elect not to afford the requesting Noteholders access to the list of Noteholders if it agrees to mail the desired communication by proxy, on behalf of and at the expense of the requesting Noteholders, to all Noteholders. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that none of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer or the Administrator shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders under this Indenture, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

    If the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be the Note Registrar, then thereafter the Administrator will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee not more than five days after the most recent Record Date or at such other times as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may request in writing, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee reasonably may require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes as of such Record Date.

    SECTION 7.02  Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.

    (a) The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Holders of Notes received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

    (b) Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes.

    (c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have the protection of TIA Section 3.12(c).

    SECTION 7.03  Reports by Issuer.

    (a) The Issuer shall:

        (i)  file with the Indenture Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

        (ii) file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

        (iii) supply to the Indenture Trustee (and the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders described in TIA Section 313(c)) such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.03(a) and by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

    (b) Unless the Issuer otherwise determines, the fiscal year of the Issuer shall end on March 31 of each year.

    SECTION 7.04  Reports by Indenture Trustee.  If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after each March 31 beginning with 2002, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder as required by TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).

43


    A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

    SECTION 8.02  Trust Accounts.

    (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to establish and maintain, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and, to the extent set forth herein, the Certificateholders, [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] [and the Swap Counterparty,] the Collection Account and Payahead Account as provided in Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall, pursuant to the Securities Account Control Agreement, establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Reserve Account as provided in Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery by the parties hereto of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will deliver to the Securities Intermediary the Prohibition Notice provided for in the Securities Account Control Agreement. In connection with the termination of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will deliver to the Securities Intermediary the Rescission of Prohibition Notice provided for in the Securities Account Control Agreement.

    SECTION 8.03  [Reserved].

    SECTION 8.04  General Provisions Regarding Accounts.

    (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer as servicing compensation on each Payment Date, and any loss resulting from such investments in excess of such income or gain (against which such losses will first be applied) shall be charged to such account. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account or Payahead Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall

44


deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

    (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee (by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of appropriate Entitlement Orders) at the written direction of the Seller, subject to the provisions of Section 5.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the provisions of the Securities Account Control Agreement. All income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Reserve Account shall be paid by the Indenture Trustee to the Seller on each Payment Date (by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of appropriate Entitlement Orders). Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the property of the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Seller will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in all funds (including Eligible Investments, but not the income from such investments) in the Reserve Account (including the Reserve Account Initial Deposit) and the proceeds thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of funds in the Reserve Account and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder. The Seller will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Reserve Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Seller shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

    (c) Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account, Payahead Account or Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein at the direction of the Servicer or Seller, as the case may be, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee's failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with the terms thereof.

    (d) If (i) the Servicer or Seller shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, Payahead Account and Reserve Account, as the case may be, to the Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Trust Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments specified in clause (h) of the definition of Eligible Investments provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    SECTION 8.05  Release of Trust Estate.

    (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee's interest in such property, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this

45


Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

    (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding[, all sums due to the Swap Counterparty and the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note have been paid] and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to or to the order of the Issuer or, in the case of the Reserve Account, to the Seller, entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Collection Account, Payahead Account and Reserve Account, as the case may be. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

    SECTION 8.06  Opinion of Counsel.  The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven days notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.05(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.


ARTICLE IX

    SECTION 9.01  Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Noteholders.  Subject to Section 9.03, without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with prior notice to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

    (a) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

    (b) to evidence the succession, in compliance with the applicable provisions hereof, of another person to the Issuer, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein and in the Notes contained;

    (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note or the Swap Counterparty], or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

    (d) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Indenture Trustee;

    (e) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or in any supplemental indenture or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in

any supplemental indenture to the extent such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the Certificates [or the Swap Counterparty];

    (f)  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes [and the Swap Counterparty] and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

    (g) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

    The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

    SECTION 9.02  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.  Subject to Sections 6.14 and 9.03, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the Holders of at least 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, acting together as a single Class (excluding for such purposes the outstanding principal amount of any Notes held of record or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates), by Action of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture.

    The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes [or the Revolving Liquidity Note] would be adversely affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes [and the Revolving Liquidity Note], whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

    It shall not be necessary for any Action of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Action shall approve the substance thereof.

    Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

    SECTION 9.03  Limitations on Supplemental Indentures.  The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with Sections 9.01 and 9.02 above, may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note[, the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note or the Swap Counterparty] if [its] [their respective] interest[s] [is] [are] affected thereby:

    (b) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or the Notes of any Class, as applicable), the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

    (c) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of the term "Outstanding" or;

    (g) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture; or

    (h) modify or alter the provisions hereof regarding the voting of Notes held by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, TMCC or any of its Affiliates or the Trust.

    SECTION 9.04  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

    SECTION 9.05  Effect of Supplemental Indenture.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Holders of the Notes, [the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and the Certificateholder shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

48


    SECTION 9.07  Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.  Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.


ARTICLE X

Termination of the Trust

    SECTION 10.01  Termination of the Trusts Created by Indenture.

    (a) The trusts created hereby and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the purchase as of any Payment Date by the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, at its option of the Receivables primarily comprising the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate as described in Section 10.02, (ii) the payment to the Noteholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to this Agreement and the release to the Owner Trustee of all remaining amounts or investments on deposit in the Collection Account or Payahead Account, [the payment to the Swap Counterparty all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] [the payment to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] and the release to the Seller of the amounts held in the Reserve Account or (iii) the maturity or liquidation of the last Receivable and the disposition of all property held as part of the Owner Trust Estate; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created by this Indenture continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date of this Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section.

    (b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Noteholders must surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final distribution and retirement of the Notes, shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee (at the written direction of the Administrator) by letter to Noteholders mailed not later than the      day and not earlier than the      day prior to the date on which such final distribution is expected to occur specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which final payment of the Notes shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein specified, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) if applicable, that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office of the Indenture Trustee therein specified. The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note Registrar (if other than the Indenture Trustee) at the time such notice is given to Noteholders. In the event such notice is given, the Seller, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall make deposits into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or, in the case of an optional purchase of Receivables pursuant to Section 10.02, shall deposit the amount specified in Section 10.02. Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Noteholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    SECTION 10.02  Optional Purchase of All Receivables.  If the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall notify [the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to exercise the option granted to it in the Sale and

49


Servicing Agreement to repurchase the outstanding Receivables primarily comprising the Owner Trust Estate, then the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to each Securityholder and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice from the Servicer. Upon deposit by the Servicer or successor to the Servicer of the amount necessary to effect such purchase of the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee shall make the final distributions to the Noteholders[, the Swap Counterparty] [or to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] pursuant to Section 4.01 and Certificateholders as set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 10.01 hereof and shall promptly transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to any amounts or investments remaining on deposit in the Collection Account and all of its rights to make withdrawals from the Payahead Account and the Reserve Account (excluding any portion thereof necessary to make distributions to Noteholders described in Section 3.03) to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and release from the lien of this Indenture all of the remaining Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall execute, deliver and file all agreements, certificates, instruments or other documents necessary or reasonably requested by the Owner Trustee in order to effect such release and the transfer to the Owner Trustee of the Collateral.

    Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

        (i)  a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

        (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

        (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

        (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

50


    (b)   (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

        (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

        (iii) Whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

    SECTION 11.02  Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.  In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

    Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

    Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

    Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be

51


construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

    SECTION 11.03  Acts of Noteholders.

    (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Action" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

    (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

    (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

    (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

    SECTION 11.04  Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Action of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Action of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

    (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

    (b) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust, 19001 South Western Avenue, Torrance, California 90509, Attention: Treasury Department, Vice President, Treasury, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

    Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at the following address: Moody's Investors Service, Inc., ABS Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007, (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's, at the following address: Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, 26 Broadway (15th Floor), New York, New York 10004, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

    SECTION 11.05  Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) (a) in the case of Book-Entry Notes, upon delivery to the Clearing Agency in writing and

52


(b) in the case of Definitive Notes, when mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, in each case being delivered or mailed, as the case may be, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

    Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

    In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

    Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

    SECTION 11.06  Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note [or the Revolving Liquidity Note] providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

    SECTION 11.07  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

    The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

    SECTION 11.08  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

    SECTION 11.09  Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

    SECTION 11.10  Severability.  If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes[, Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] [the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] [or the the Revolving Liquidity Note,] or the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

    SECTION 11.11  Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture, the Notes[, the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] [or the Revolving Liquidity Note], express or implied, shall give to any Person, other

53


than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer[, the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

    SECTION 11.12  Governing Law.  This indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction.

    SECTION 11.13  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

    SECTION 11.14  Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

    SECTION 11.15  Trust Obligation.  No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of [the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note,] the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the [Interest Rate Swap Agreement,] the Notes[, the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement] or the Certificate or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their capacities as such, have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

The Class Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in The City of New York.

A–1–5


denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Noteholder may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

    Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their capacities as such, have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

    Each Noteholder or Note Owner that is not TMCC, TAFR LLC or an Affiliate of either of them, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

    The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.

    Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.12 of the Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of the Class or Classes specified therein, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Classes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of

A–1–6


the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

    The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

    The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

    The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

    This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

    No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Seller to repurchase a Receivable shall not be conditioned on the performance by TMCC of its obligation to repurchase such Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. This repurchase obligation shall obtain for all representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement whether or not the Seller has knowledge of the breach at the time of the breach or at the time the representations and warranties were made.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

    SECTION 4.01  Duties of Servicer.  The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Securityholders (to the extent provided herein), shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors or by federal, state or local government authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment information to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to payments and distributions and making Advances and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer shall

27


follow its customary standards, policies and procedures as in effect from time to time and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Nothing in the foregoing or in any other section of this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Servicer from implementing new programs, whether on an intermediate, pilot or permanent basis, or on a regional or nationwide basis, or from modifying its standards, policies and procedures as long as, in each case, the Servicer does or would implement such programs or modify its standards, policies and procedures in respect of comparable assets serviced for itself in the ordinary course of business.

    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securityholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to such Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to communicate with Obligors in the ordinary course of its servicing of the Receivables and Financed Vehicles in its own name. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, a legal proceeding to enforce a Defaulted Receivable or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, including a Defaulted Receivable. If the Servicer shall commence or participate in a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable, the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned to the Servicer, solely for the purpose of collection on behalf of the party retaining an interest in such Receivable, such Receivable and the other property conveyed to the Issuer hereby with respect to such Receivable for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall, at the Servicer's expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and/or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

    SECTION 4.02  Collection and Allocation of Receivable Payments.  The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due and shall follow such customary collection procedures as it follows with respect to comparable automotive receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer shall be authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with the customary servicing standards of the Servicer without the prior consent of the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or any Securityholder; provided, however, that if, as a result of any change in the related APR or the Amount Financed, any increase in the total number of Scheduled Payments or any extension of payments such that the Receivable will be outstanding later than the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date, the amount of any Scheduled Payment due in a subsequent Collection Period is reduced, the Servicer shall be obligated to either repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08 or to make an Advance in respect of such Receivable in each subsequent Collection Period equal to the amount by which such Scheduled Payment has been reduced. In addition, in the event that any such rescheduling or extension of a Receivable modifies the terms of such Receivable in such a manner as to release the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or constitute a cancellation of such Receivable and the creation of a new automobile or light duty truck receivable, the Servicer shall purchase such Receivable pursuant to Section 4.08, and the receivable created shall not be included as an asset of the Issuer. The Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, waive

any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Receivables.

    SECTION 4.03  Rebates on Full Prepayments.  In the event that the amount of a full Prepayment by an Obligor under a Precomputed Receivable, after adjustment for the applicable Rebate, is less than the amount that would be payable under the actuarial method if a full Prepayment were made at the end of the billing month under such Precomputed Receivable, either because the Rebate calculated under the terms of such Precomputed Receivable is greater than the amount calculable under the actuarial method or because the Servicer's customary servicing procedure is to credit a greater Rebate, the Servicer, as part of its servicing duties, shall remit such difference by deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.05.

    SECTION 4.04  Realization upon Receivables.  On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by the Financed Vehicle (and shall specify such Receivables to the Relevant Trustee no later than the Determination Date following the end of the Collection Period in which the Servicer shall have made such determination). The Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of automobile and light duty truck receivables, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any Dealer Recourse, selling the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale and other actions to realize upon such a Receivable. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover its Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Defaulted Receivable. All Net Liquidation Proceeds realized in connection with any such action with respect to a Receivable shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.02. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses.

    SECTION 4.05  Physical Damage Insurance.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require that each Obligor shall have delivered proof that it has obtained physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle at the date of origination of the related Receivable, but shall not obtain any such coverage on behalf of any Obligor. The Servicer shall be required to monitor the maintenance by any Obligor of such insurance only to the same extent, if any, that the Servicer monitors such maintenance by obligors with respect to retail automobile sales contracts that are held for the account of TMCC.

    SECTION 4.06  Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles.  The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to again perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, to grant to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, the Servicer hereby agrees to serve as the agent of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the Issuer in such Financed Vehicle and agrees that the Servicer's listing as the secured party on the certificate of title is in this capacity as agent of the Issuer.

    SECTION 4.07  Covenants of Servicer.  The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants to the Issuer on which the Issuer has relied in purchasing the Receivables and issuing the Certificates, and on

29


which the Indenture Trustee will rely in undertaking the trusts set forth in the Indenture and issuing the Notes.

        (a) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Servicer shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing the related Receivable.

        (b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Securityholders in the Receivables.

        (c) No Amendments. Except as provided in Section 4.02, the Servicer shall not amend or otherwise modify any Receivable such that the total number of Scheduled Payments, the Amount Financed or the APR is altered, or extend the maturity of such Receivable beyond the Final Scheduled Maturity Date.

        (d) Enforcement of Contractual Provisions. The Servicer will not seek to enforce against any obligor under any retail installment contract or interpose as a defense to any claim by any obligor the provision in any Texas contract cited in the legal opinion of            dated as of the Closing Date, citing Texas Finance Code §348.412, in which the obligor agreed not to assert against a subsequent holder or assignee of the contract any claims or defenses the obligor may have against the seller or manufacturer of the vehicle.

    SECTION 4.08  Remedies.  The Servicer shall inform the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the actual knowledge of one of its officers of, and the Owner Trustee shall inform the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the actual knowledge of one of its Trust Officers of, any breach pursuant to Section 4.06 or 4.07 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer in a Receivable, or if an extension, rescheduling or modification of a Receivable is made by the Servicer as described in Section 4.02 and the Servicer does not elect to make Advances to cover resulting reductions in interest accruals as provided in Section 4.02, the party discovering such event shall give prompt written notice to the others. As of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such event (or, at the Servicer's election, the last day of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach), the Servicer shall, unless such event shall have been cured in all material respects or such modification has been rescinded or the Servicer has elected to and does make all required Advances, purchase from the Issuer such Receivable. In consideration of the purchase of any such Receivable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date the Servicer shall remit the Administrative Purchase Payment to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.05, and shall be entitled to receive the Released Administrative Amount. Upon such deposit of the Administrative Purchase Payment, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of such Receivable. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, the sole remedy of the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Securityholders against the Servicer with respect to a breach pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.06 or 4.07 shall be to require the Servicer to purchase the related Receivables pursuant to this Section. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. In connection with such repurchase, the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall take all steps necessary to effect a transfer of such Receivable to the Servicer as set forth in Section 9.01(d). The Servicer hereby indemnifies the Purchaser for any civil liabilities that arise for breach of the covenant set forth in Section 4.07(d).

    SECTION 4.09  Servicing Fee and Expenses.  As compensation for the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive on each Payment Date, out of Available Collections, the Total Servicing Fee. The Basic Servicing Fee in respect of a Collection Period shall be calculated based on a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its

30


activities under this Agreement (including fees and disbursements of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrator and the independent accountants, taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its preparation of reports hereunder and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Certificateholders).

    SECTION 4.10  Servicer's Certificate.  On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, each Paying Agent, [the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery),] the Indenture Trustee and the Seller, with a copy to each Rating Agency, a Servicer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, containing the information necessary to make the payments to be made on the related Payment Date and the information necessary for the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to send statements to the Securityholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement or Indenture, as the case may be. The Servicer shall also specify therein the identity of any Receivable that the Servicer or the Seller became obligated to repurchase or that the Servicer has determined to be a Defaulted Receivable during the related Collection Period. Receivables purchased or to be purchased by the Servicer or the Seller and Receivables that the Servicer has determined during such Collection Period to be Defaulted Receivables and with respect to which payment of the Administrative Purchase Payment or Warranty Purchase Payment has been provided from whatever source as of last day of such Collection Period shall be identified by the related Obligor's account number (as specified in the Schedule of Receivables).

    SECTION 4.11  Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Default.  (a) Within 120 days after March 31 of each calendar year (commencing with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002), the Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Owner Trustee, [the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery)] and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that a review of the activities of the Servicer during the prior fiscal year (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate) has been made under the supervision of the officer executing such Officer's Certificate with a view to determining whether during such period the Servicer has performed and observed all of its obligations under this Agreement, and either (i) stating that, to the best of his or her knowledge, no default by the Servicer under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) if such a default has occurred and is continuing, specifying such default and the nature and status thereof.

    (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, [the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery)] and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer's Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 8.01(a) or (b).

    SECTION 4.12 Annual Accountants' Report. Within 120 days after March 31 of each fiscal year for the Servicer (commencing with the year ended March 31, 2002), the Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a report prepared by the Independent Accountants of the Servicer concerning their review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period ended March 31 (or other applicable period in the case of the first such report or letter) to the effect that such accountants have reviewed certain records and documents relating to the servicing of the Receivables under this Agreement (using procedures specified in such report or letter) and as a result of such review, and in connection with such procedures, they are reporting such exceptions, if any, as shall be set forth therein. Such report or letter shall also indicate that the firm is independent with respect to the Seller and the Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

31


    In the event such Independent Accountants require the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer shall direct the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee need make no independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

    SECTION 4.13 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to [the Swap Counterparty,] the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables as provided in Section 3.03(b). The Servicer will provide such access to any Securityholder only in such cases where the Certificateholder or Noteholders shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation. In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

    SECTION 4.14 Appointment of Subservicer. The Servicer may at any time appoint a subservicer to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder if each Rating Agency has received reasonable advance notice of the Servicer's intention to do so and has not notified the Servicer that such an appointment would or might result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of a rating then assigned by such rating Agency to any Class of Notes; provided, however, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, [the Swap Counterparty,] the Certificateholders and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Receivables. The fees and expenses of the subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and its subservicer from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, [the Swap Counterparty,] the Certificateholders or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility therefor.

    SECTION 4.15 Amendments to Schedule of Receivables. If the Servicer, during a Collection Period, assigns to a Receivable an account number that differs from the original account number identifying such Receivable on the Schedule of Receivables, the Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, on or before the Payment Date relating to such Collection Period, an amendment to the Schedule of Receivables reporting the newly assigned account number, together with the old account number of each such Receivable. The first such delivery of amendments to the Schedule of Receivables shall include monthly amendments reporting account numbers appearing on the Schedule of Receivables with the new account numbers assigned to such Receivables during any prior Collection Period. [The Schedule of Receivables shall be updated upon the purchase of any additional Receivables pursuant to Section  .]

    SECTION 4.16 Reports to Securityholders and Rating Agencies. The Owner Trustee shall send a copy of each Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.11 and each report of independent accountants delivered pursuant to Section 4.12 to the Rating Agencies within five days of its receipt thereof from the Servicer or accountants. A copy of any such Officer's Certificate or accountants report may be obtained by any Certificateholder, Noteholder or Note Owner by a request in writing to the Owner Trustee addressed as set forth in Section 10.03 hereof. Upon the telephone request of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will promptly furnish the Owner Trustee a list of Noteholders as of the date specified by the Owner Trustee.

STATEMENTS TO SECURITYHOLDERS

    SECTION 5.01  Establishment of Collection Account and Payahead Account.

    (a) The Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish the Collection Account and Payahead Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each such account shall be an account initially established with the Indenture Trustee and maintained with the Indenture Trustee so long as (i) the commercial paper or other short-term unsecured debt obligations of the Indenture Trustee are rated "P-1" or better by Moody's, or if not so rated by Moody's then otherwise approved by Moody's, and "A-1+" or better by Standard & Poor's if rated by Standard & Poor's, or if not so rated by Standard & Poor's then otherwise approved by Standard & Poor's, in each case at the time of any deposit therein, or (ii) such account is a segregated trust account located in the corporate trust department of the Indenture Trustee bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein (other than interest or investment earnings thereon) are held in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders, and the Indenture Trustee has a long-term deposit rating from Moody's (so long as Moody's is a Rating Agency) of at least "A1" (or such lower rating as Moody's shall approve in writing) and corporate trust powers under applicable federal and state laws and is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event that the Indenture Trustee no longer meets either of the foregoing requirements, then the Servicer shall, with the Indenture Trustee's assistance as necessary, cause the Collection Account and Payahead Account to be moved to a bank or trust company that satisfies either of such requirements.

    (b) For so long as the depository institution or trust company then maintaining the Collection Account and Payahead Account meets the requirements of Section 5.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii), all amounts held in these accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments; otherwise such amounts shall be maintained in cash. Earnings on investment of funds in these accounts (net of losses and investment expenses) shall be paid to the Servicer on each Payment Date as servicing compensation, and any losses and investment expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit in the related account.

    (c) For so long as            or            is the Relevant Trustee, the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be maintained with             as described in clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 5.01(a). In the event that the long-term debt rating of the Relevant Trustee does not satisfy clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 5.01(a), the Servicer shall, with the assistance of the Relevant Trustee as necessary, cause the Collection Account and the Payahead Account to be moved to an institution or an account otherwise satisfying the requirements of Section 5.01(a).

    (d) Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, shall establish and maintain as the Collection Account an Eligible Deposit Account in the name of and under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificateholder. On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee will transfer, or cause to be transferred, to such Collection Account all funds or investments on deposit in the Collection Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and all of the proceeds thereof, and will transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of the Certificateholder, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the [Swap Counterparty,] the Noteholders, [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Payment Date

33


on which the Notes of all Classes have been paid in full[, the Revolving Liquidity Note has been paid in full and the Interest Rate Swap Agreement has been terminated and all Swap Payments Outgoing and all Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Counterparty have been paid] (or substantially all of the Trust Estate is otherwise released from the lien of the Indenture) to the Collection Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholder, and to take all necessary or appropriate actions to transfer all of its right, title and interest in the Collection Account, all funds or investments held or to be held therein and all proceeds thereof, whether or not on behalf of [the Swap Counterparty,] [the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note or] the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, to the Owner Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture with respect to amounts held for payment [to the Swap Counterparty,] [the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note or] Noteholders that do not promptly deliver a Note for payment on such Payment Date.

    (e) With respect to the Collection Account and all property held therein, the Owner Trustee agrees, by its acceptance hereof that, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, for so long as Notes of any Class[, the Revolving Liquidity Note] [or the Interest Rate Swap Agreement] remain outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest therein (excluding interest or investment income thereon payable to the Servicer), and that such account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of [the Swap Counterparty,] [the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note and] the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, as the case may be, as set forth in the Indenture. Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06, the Payahead Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Servicer and not the property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, Owner Trustee, Seller and Indenture Trustee will treat the Payahead Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Servicer for federal income tax and all other purposes. The parties hereto agree that the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or by the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account and the Payahead Account for the purpose of permitting the Servicer, Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee to carry out its respective duties hereunder or under the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

    [In the case of any class of Notes issued with a Revolving Period, the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall establish an account for the accumulation of principal and purchase of additional Receivables.]

    SECTION 5.02  Collections.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall remit daily to the Collection Account all payments received by or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the Receivables (other than, in the case of Precomputed Receivables, payments constituting Payments Ahead) and all Net Liquidation Proceeds within two Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, the Servicer shall not be required to remit such collections to the Collection Account on the foregoing daily basis but shall be entitled to retain such collections, without segregation from its other funds, until the Business Day before each Payment Date at which time the Servicer shall remit all such collections in respect of the related Collection Period to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as any Monthly Remittance Condition is not satisfied, all collections then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Collection Account and all future collections on or in respect of the Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Collection Account on a daily basis within two Business Days after receipt thereof.

34


    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall deposit all Payments Ahead in the Collection Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof, which Payments Ahead shall be transferred to the Payahead Account pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, the Servicer will not be required to deposit Payments Ahead in the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof but shall be entitled to retain such Payments Ahead, without segregation from its other funds, until such time as the Servicer shall be required to remit Applied Payments Ahead to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(i). Commencing with the first day of the first Collection Period that begins at least two Business Days after the day on which any Monthly Remittance Condition ceases to be satisfied and for so long as all Monthly Remittance Conditions are not satisfied, all Payments Ahead then held by the Servicer shall be immediately deposited into the Payahead Account and all future Payments Ahead shall be remitted by the Servicer to the Payahead Account within two Business Days after receipt thereof.

    (c) The Servicer shall give the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency written notice of the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition (and any subsequent curing of a failed Monthly Remittance Condition) as soon as practical after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding the failure of any Monthly Remittance Condition, the Servicer may utilize an alternative collection or Payment Ahead remittance schedule (which may be the remittance schedule previously utilized prior to the failure of such Monthly Remittance Condition), if the Servicer provides to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such alternative remittance schedule will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating then assigned to any Class of Notes.

    [In the event that any class of Notes is issued with a Revolving Period, Collections designated for payment of principal on such class of Notes shall be deposited in an account established by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.1 for the purpose of purchase of additional Receivables.]

    SECTION 5.03  Application of Collections.  As of the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date, all collections for the related Collection Period shall be applied by the Servicer as follows:

    (a) With respect to each Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable), payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor which are not Supplemental Servicing Fees shall be applied first to reimburse the Servicer for Outstanding Advances made with respect to such Receivable (each such payment, an "Overdue Payment"). Next, the amount of any payment in excess of Supplemental Servicing Fees and Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable shall be applied to the Scheduled Payment with respect to such Receivable. If the amount of such payment remaining after the applications described in the two preceding sentences (i) equals (together with any Deferred Prepayment) the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable, it shall be applied to prepay the principal balance of such Receivable, or (ii) is less than the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable, it shall constitute an Excess Payment with respect to such Receivable.

    (b) With respect to each Administrative Receivable and Warranty Receivable, payments made by or on behalf of the Obligor shall be applied in the same manner, except that any Released Administrative Amount or Released Warranty Amount shall be remitted to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable. A Warranty Purchase Payment or an Administrative Purchase Payment with respect to any Receivable shall be applied, first, to reduce Outstanding Advances with respect to such Receivable and then to the Scheduled Payment, in each case to the extent that the payments by the Obligor shall be insufficient, and then to prepay the unpaid principal balance of such Receivable in full.

    [In the event that any class of Notes is issued with a Revolving Period, Collections designated for payment of principal on such class of Notes and deposited in an account established by the Servicer

35


pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be applied by the Issuer to the purpose of purchase of additional Receivables.]

    SECTION 5.04  Advances; Swap Payments.

    (a) As of the close of business on the last day of each Collection Period, if the payments by or on behalf of the Obligor on a Precomputed Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under Section 5.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then the Deferred Prepayment, if any, with respect to such Precomputed Receivable shall be applied by the Servicer to the extent of the shortfall, and such Deferred Prepayment shall be reduced accordingly. Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to such shortfall (each, a "Precomputed Advance") in the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. In addition, as of the last day of a Collection Period, if the payments during such Collection Period by or on behalf of the Obligor on or in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable (other than an Administrative Receivable or a Warranty Receivable) after application under Section 5.03(a) shall be less than the Scheduled Payment (determined as of the Closing Date), whether as a result of any modification or extension granted to the Obligor or otherwise, then an amount equal to the product of the principal balance of such Receivable as of the first day of the related Collection Period and one-twelfth of its Annual Percentage Rate minus the amount of interest actually received on such Receivable during the Collection Period (each, a "Simple Interest Advance") shall be deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. If such a calculation in respect of a Simple Interest Receivable results in a negative number, an amount equal to such negative amount shall be paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of any outstanding Simple Interest Advances made with respect to such Receivable. In addition, in the event that a Simple Interest Receivable becomes a Liquidated Receivable, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but not including interest for the current Collection Period) shall, up to the amount of any outstanding Simple Interest Advances made with respect to such Receivable, be withdrawn from the Collection Account and paid to the Servicer in reimbursement of such outstanding Simple Interest Advances. No Advances will be made with respect to the Principal Balance of Simple Interest Receivables. The Servicer shall not be required to make an Advance (other than a Simple Interest Advance in respect of an interest shortfall arising from the Prepayment of a Simple Interest Receivable) to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such Advance is unlikely to be recovered from subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, Liquidation Proceeds, by the Administrative Purchase Payment or by the Warranty Purchase Payment with respect to such Receivable or otherwise.

    (b) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances, without interest, with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable: (i) subsequent payments made by or on behalf of the related Obligor, (ii) Liquidation Proceeds and (iii) the Warranty Purchase Payment; provided, however, that in the case of Advances made pursuant to Section 4.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement only from amounts received in respect of such Receivable that are in excess of the amount of the Scheduled Payment in the related Collection Period.

    (c) To the extent that the Servicer has determined that any Outstanding Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Servicer may, in the relevant Servicer's Certificate, set forth the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance, and on the related Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall promptly remit to the Servicer from Actual Payments on deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Servicer's determination of Available Collections for any Collection Period shall take into account the amount of Nonrecoverable Advances specified in any such Officer's Certificate.

36


    (d) For so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied, in lieu of causing the Servicer first to deposit and then the Relevant Trustee to remit to the Servicer the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) in Section 5.04(b) reimbursable in respect on Outstanding Advances, or the amounts described in Section 5.04(c) applicable in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may deduct such amounts from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account.

    (e) [In addition, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied and TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is both the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty, the Servicer may (i) deduct any Swap Payments Outgoing and Swap Termination Payments owed by the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer and (ii) add any Swap Payments Incoming and Swap Termination Payments owed by the Swap Counterparty to the Issuer to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer, and any such payments will be deemed to satisfy the Swap Counterparty's or the Issuer's (as applicable) payment obligations to the Issuer and the Swap Counterparty, respectively, under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement.]

    (f)  [In addition, for so long as the Monthly Remittance Conditions are satisfied and TMCC or any Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and TMCC is the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the Servicer may (i) deduct any amounts payable to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to the extent amounts would be available therefor pursuant to Sections 5.06(c)(i)(E) or (F) or Section 5.06(d)(iv) or (v) from deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer and (ii) add any amounts required to be drawn on the Revolving Liquidity Note by the Issuer to deposits otherwise to be made into the Collection Account by the Servicer, and any such payments will be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note to fund such draws by the Issuer pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note and Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement.]

    (b) All deposits required to be made pursuant to this Section by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, may be made in the form of a single deposit and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date. At the direction of the Servicer, the Relevant Trustee shall invest such amounts in Eligible Investments maturing not later than 3:00 P.M. New York City Time, on the related Payment Date.

    SECTION 5.06  Payments and Distributions.

    (a) On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be made the following transfers and distributions in immediately available funds in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Payment Date (except that if the Collection Account, Principal Distribution Account, Payahead Account and Reserve Fund are not all maintained by the Indenture Trustee, transfers to be made

between such accounts as described in Section 5.05, 5.06 and 5.07 shall be made on the Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date):

        (i)  from the Payahead Account (or directly from the Servicer in the case of Payments Ahead held by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02(a) or (b)) to the Collection Account, the aggregate Applied Payments Ahead; and

        (ii) if the Servicer is not permitted to hold Payments Ahead pursuant to Section 5.02(a) or (b), from the Collection Account to the Payahead Account, the aggregate Payments Ahead for the related Collection Period.

    [In addition, on each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be paid from the Collection Account any Swap Payments Outgoing and Swap Termination Payment payable by the Issuer to the Swap Counterparty under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, provided that such amounts were not deducted from amounts remitted to the Collection Account by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04(e).]

    (b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate (i) the Available Collections and the amounts to be paid to Noteholders of each Class and the Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.06(c) or 5.06(d), as the case may be, [(ii) the Swap Payments Outgoing, the Swap Payments Incoming, and any Swap Termination Payments,] [(iii) the amount, if any, to be drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note or withdrawn from the Reserve Account] and (iv) all other distributions, deposits and withdrawals to be made on the related Payment Date.

    (c) Subject to Section 5.06(d), on each Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall make the following payments and distributions from the Collection Account in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Payment Date; provided, however, that such payments and distributions shall be made only from those funds deposited in the Collection Account for the related Collection Period and available therefore as Available Collections:

38


    (i)  from Available Collections:

        (A) to the Servicer, the Total Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Total Servicing Fees from one or more prior Collection Periods);

        (B) on a pro rata basis (based on the amounts distributable pursuant to this clause to each such Class), to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-1 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-1 Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-2 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-2 Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-3 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-3 Interest Carryover Shortfall, and to the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, the Class A-4 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-4 Interest Carryover Shortfall;

        (C) to the Principal Distribution Account, the Principal Distribution Amount [or to an account established for allocation of principal during a Revolving Period];

        (D) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the related Specified Reserve Account Balance on such Payment Date, to the Reserve Account, the amount necessary to cause the balance of funds therein to equal the Specified Reserve Account Balance;

        (E) [to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any unreimbursed draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (to the extent such amount has not been netted by the Servicer from deposits into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04(f))];

        (F) [to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on any draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (to the extent such amount has not been netted by the Servicer from deposits into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04(f))]; and

        (G) any remaining amounts will be distributed to the Certificateholders.

    (ii) from the amounts deposited into the Principal Distribution Account from the allocations of principal described in clause (i)(C) above, the Issuer will pay principal of the Securities in the following priority:

        (A) to the Holders of Class A-1 Notes, until the total amount paid to such Holders in respect of principal from the Closing Date is equal to the Class A-1 Initial Principal Balance;

        (B) to the Holders of Class A-2 Notes, until the total amount paid to such Holders in respect of principal from the Closing Date is equal to the Class A-2 Initial Principal Balance;

    [Payments pursuant to this Section 5.06(c) will be modified to reflect that Holders of any class of Notes with a Revolving Period will not receive payments of principal until the commencement of the applicable Amortization Period for such class of Notes.]

39


    (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.06(c), after an Event of Default occurs that results in the acceleration of the Notes and unless and until such acceleration has been rescinded, on each Payment Date, the Relevant Trustee shall make the following payments and distributions from the Collection Account in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Servicer's Certificate for such Payment Date; provided, however, that such payments and distributions shall be made only from Available Collections deposited in the Collection Account for the related Collection Period:

        (i)  to the Servicer, the Total Servicing Fee (including any unpaid Total Servicing Fees from one or more prior Collection Periods);

        (ii) on a pro rata basis (based on the amounts distributable pursuant to this clause to each such Class), to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-1 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-1 Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-2 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-2 Interest Carryover Shortfall, to the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-3 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-3 Interest Carryover Shortfall, and to the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, the Class A-4 Interest Distributable Amount and any outstanding Class A-4 Interest Carryover Shortfall;

        (iii) to the Holders of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, on a pro rata basis (based on the Outstanding Amount of each such Class), until the total amount paid to such Holders in respect of principal from the Closing Date is equal to the Class A-1 Initial Principal Balance, Class A-2 Initial Principal Balance, the Class A-3 Initial Principal Balance, and the Class A-4 Initial Principal Balance, respectively;

        (iv) [to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any unreimbursed draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (to the extent such amount has not been netted by the Servicer from deposits into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04(f));]

        (v) [to the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on any draw previously funded thereunder in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (to the extent such amount has not been netted by the Servicer from deposits into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04(f));] and

        (vi) any remaining funds to the Certificateholders.

    (e) For purposes of determining whether an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Indenture has occurred, the amount of principal required to be paid to the Holders of any Class of Notes on any Payment Date is the amount available to be paid thereto pursuant to Sections 5.06(c)(i)(C) or 5.06(d)(iii); provided however that (i) the Class A-1 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-1 Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-1 Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date; (ii) the Class A-2 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-2 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-2 Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-2 Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date, (iii) the Class A-3 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-3 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that Holders of Class A-3 Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-3 Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date; and (iv) the Class A-4 Notes are required to be paid in full on or before the Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment Date, meaning that

40


Holders of Class A-4 Notes are entitled to have received on or before such date payments in respect of principal in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A-4 Initial Principal Balance together with all interest accrued thereon through such date.

    (f)  Except with respect to the final payment upon retirement of a Note or Certificate, the Servicer shall on each Payment Date instruct the Relevant Trustee to pay or distribute to each Securityholder of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to such Securityholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register, or herein (in the case of the Certificate) (or, if DTC, its nominee or a Clearing Agency is the relevant Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to other arrangements), the amount to be paid or distributed to such Securityholder pursuant to such Holder's Note or Certificate. With respect to the final payment upon retirement of a Note or of the Certificate, the Servicer shall on the relevant final Payment Date instruct the Relevant Trustee to pay or distribute the amounts due thereon only upon delivery for cancellation of the certificate representing such Note or Certificate in accordance with the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

    SECTION 5.07  Reserve Account.

    (a) The Seller will, pursuant to the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Indenture, establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee a segregated trust account (the "Reserve Account") which will include any money and other property deposited and held therein pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(i)(D) and this Section. [Under the circumstances specified in Section 5.08(b), the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note will be obligated to fund a draw of the entire amount available to be drawn thereunder, which amounts will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer to fund certain shortfalls as described in Section 5.08 and be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance.] On any Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Specified Reserve Account Balance (which may be the case whether or not any of the circumstances specified in Section 5.08 has occurred and is continuing), the Indenture Trustee will, as directed in writing by the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.06(c)(i)(D), deposit into the Reserve Account Available Collections until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. On each Payment Date, to the extent that Available Collections are insufficient to fully fund the payments and distributions described in clauses (i)(A) through (C) of Section 5.06(c) or in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 5.06(d), the Indenture Trustee will withdraw amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Account (excluding net investment income on Eligible Investments which amounts are payable to the Seller therefrom), up to the amounts of any such deficiencies, and deposit such amounts into the Collection Account for application pursuant to such clauses. Also on each Payment Date, as directed in writing by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee [will apply any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance first to repay any unreimbursed draws on the Revolving Liquidity Note and any interest accrued thereon (in that order), and then] will release to the Seller any remaining amounts in excess of the Specified Reserve Account Balance. Upon the termination of the trusts established under the Trust Agreement and the Indenture, as directed in writing by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will [repay any unreimbursed draws on the Revolving Liquidity Note and any interest accrued thereon (in that order) and will] release to the Seller any amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account. Upon any such distribution to the Seller, the Issuer, Owner Trustee, Certificateholder, Indenture Trustee, [holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] and Noteholders will have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts[, except to the extent that funds may be drawn again pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement].

    (b) Any amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer, in Eligible Investments. Earnings on investment of funds in the Reserve Account shall be paid to the Seller on each Payment Date, and losses and any investment

41


expenses shall be charged against the funds on deposit therein. The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability for the selection of investments or for losses thereon absent its own negligence or willful misfeasance. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity date or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment directions.

    (c) Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals therefrom, as directed by the Servicer, for the purposes and in the amounts set forth in Section 5.06, the Reserve Account and all funds held therein shall be the property of the Seller and not the property of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer, Owner Trustee, Seller and Indenture Trustee will treat the Reserve Account, all funds therein and all net investment income with respect thereto as assets of the Seller for federal income tax and all other purposes.

    (d) The Seller will grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in any funds (including Eligible Investments) in the Reserve Account and the proceeds thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect thereto; provided that all income from the investment of funds in the Reserve Account and the right to receive such income are retained by the Seller and are not transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed hereunder. If for any reason the Reserve Account is no longer an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly cause the Reserve Account to be moved to another institution or otherwise changed so that the Reserve Account becomes an Eligible Deposit Account.

    Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall enter into any subordination or intercreditor agreement with respect to the Reserve Account.

    SECTION 5.08  [Revolving Liquidity Note.

    (a) Pursuant to the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Seller will issue a Revolving Liquidity Note, with a maximum draw amount of $7,500,000, to be initially held by TMCC. On the Business Day preceding each Payment Date with respect to which Available Collections are insufficient to fund any payment to be made to the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.06(c)(i) (B) or (C) or 5.06(d) (ii) or (iii), the Relevant Trustee will be entitled to make draw requests (to the maximum draw amount) in the amount of any such shortfalls that are not funded from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and that are therefore to be funded by the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note. Amounts so funded by the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer to fund such shortfalls in the order of priority of payments specified in Section 5.06.

    (b) In addition, if the Servicer's short-term unsecured debt rating falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P) or if the Servicer fails to fund any amount drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note, then the Relevant Trustee shall demand payment of the entire undrawn amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note. Amounts so funded by TMCC will be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the written direction of the Servicer, first, to fund any shortfalls described in Section 5.08(a) in the order of priority of payments specified in Section 5.06, and then shall be deposited into the Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals the Specified Reserve Account Balance. From and after the occurrence of any event described in this Section 5.08(b), the Reserve Account must be maintained as detailed in Section 5.7.]

    SECTION 5.09  Statements to Certificateholder, Noteholders[, and Swap Counterparty].

    (a) On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Rating Agencies and each Paying Agent) for the Indenture Trustee to forward to each Noteholder of record as of the most recent Record Date and to the Owner Trustee (with a copy to each Paying Agent) for the Owner Trustee to forward to each Certificateholder of record as of the most recent

42


Record Date a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit A, [to the Swap Counterparty (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and the Swap Counterparty at the time of delivery)] [and to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (unless TMCC or an Affiliate thereof is the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note at the time of delivery)], setting forth at least the following information as to the Notes and the Certificate to the extent applicable:

        (i)  the amount paid or distributed in respect of interest in respect of each Class of Notes;

        (ii) the amount paid or distributed in respect of principal on or with respect to each Class of Notes;

        (iii) the amount paid or distributed to the Certificateholder;

        (iv) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Collection Period;

        (v) the Outstanding Amount, the Class A-1 Principal Balance, the Class A-2 Principal Balance, the Class A-3 Principal Balance, the Class A-4 Principal Balance, and the Note Pool Factor for each Class of Notes, in each case after giving effect to all payments in respect of principal on such Payment Date;

        (vi) [the amounts allocated to a principal accumulation account with respect to any class of Notes with a Revolving Period;]

        (vii) the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the Servicer with respect to the related Collection Period;

        (viii)the amount of any Class A-1 Interest Carryover Shortfall, Class A-2 Interest Carryover Shortfall, Class A-3 Interest Carryover Shortfall and Class A-4 Interest Carryover Shortfall after giving effect to all payments of interest on such Payment Date, and the change in such amounts from the preceding Payment Date;

        (ix) the aggregate amount of Payments Ahead on deposit in the Payahead Account or held by the Servicer with respect to the related Receivables and the change in such amount from the immediately preceding Payment Date;

        (x) the amount of Advances made in respect of the related Receivables and the related Collection Period and the amount of unreimbursed Advances on such Payment Date;

        (xi) [the amount of draws made under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement;]

        (xii) the balance of any Reserve Account on such Payment Date and the Specified Reserve Account Amount on such Payment Date, after giving effect to changes thereto on such Payment Date; and

        (xiii)[the Class A-3 Notional Balance, the Class A-3 Rate, the Swap Payments Incoming, the Swap Payments Outgoing and the Swap Termination Payment.]

    SECTION 5.10  Net Deposits.  As an administrative convenience, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee may make any remittances pursuant to this Article net of amounts to be distributed by the applicable recipient to such remitting party. Nonetheless, each such party shall account to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders for all of the above described remittances, payments and distributions as if all deposits, payments, distributions and transfers were made individually.

    (d) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 6.03 or Section 3.02 (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the party providing indemnification under this Section 6.03 or Section 3.02 (an "Indemnifying Party"), notify such Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.03 or Section 3.02 and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

The Servicer shall be duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and shall have obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business shall require such qualifications and where the failure to so qualify will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Servicer to conduct its business or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

    (e) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Servicer or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it shall be bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Agreement), nor violate any law or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties which breach, default, conflict, lien or violation would have a material adverse effect on the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Servicer.

    (f)  No Proceedings. There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or to the Servicer's knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the Servicer: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Certificates or the Notes, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the Indenture, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Certificates or the Notes, or (iv) relating to the Servicer and which might adversely affect the federal income tax attributes of the Issuer, the Certificates or the Notes.

    SECTION 7.02  Indemnities of Servicer.  The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement:

    (a) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of or resulting from the use, ownership or operation by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof of a Financed Vehicle.

47


acceptance or performance of the trusts and duties herein and in the Trust Agreement contained, in the case of the Owner Trustee, and in the Indenture contained, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, except to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability: (i) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Owner Trustee or, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, shall be due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (except for errors in judgment) of the Indenture Trustee; or (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, shall arise from the breach by the Owner Trustee of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 7.03 of the Trust Agreement.

    (c) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders and any of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Seller, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholder from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or is imposed upon any such Person through, the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, including those that may be incurred by any such indemnified party as a result of any act or omission by the Servicer in connection with its maintenance and custody of the Receivables Files.

    (d) Promptly after receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 7.02 or Section 4.08 (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the party providing indemnification under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 (an "Indemnifying Party"), notify such Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.02 or 4.08 and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who may, unless there is, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party stating that there is an unwaivable conflict of interest, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.02 and Section 4.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest.

    For purposes of this Section, in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of TMCC (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 7.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.02.

    SECTION 7.03  Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.  Any corporation (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party or (c) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business of the Servicer, which corporation in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer under this Agreement, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 7.01 shall have been breached (except that the representations regarding the due

48


organization and valid existence of the successor may be deemed to reference jurisdictions other than California), and no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with, (iii) the Servicer shall have given 10 days' written notice to each Rating Agency of its intent or expectation to enter such transaction and neither Rating Agency shall have notified the Seller, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee that such transaction might or would cause it to reduce, withdraw or modify its then current rating of any Class of Notes, (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the successor to the Servicer shall become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement and (v) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary fully to preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, respectively, in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above.

    SECTION 7.04  Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.  Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

    Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its duties to service the Receivables in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may (with the written consent of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee) undertake any reasonable action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the Basic Documents and the rights and duties of the parties to the Basic Documents and the interests of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and the Noteholders under the Indenture. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs for such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Estate (if any Notes are then outstanding) or the Owner Trust Estate (if no Notes are then outstanding) and the Servicer will be entitled to be reimbursed therefor solely from Available Collections.

    SECTION 7.05  TMCC Not To Resign as Servicer.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, TMCC shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of TMCC shall be communicated to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee

49


concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until the Indenture Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have (i) assumed the responsibilities and obligations of TMCC in accordance with Section 8.02 and (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement.


ARTICLE VIII

DEFAULT

    SECTION 8.01  Servicer Default.  Each of the following events is a "Servicer Default":

    (a) any failure by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) to deliver to the Relevant Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account, Payahead Account or Reserve Fund any required payment or to direct the Relevant Trustee to make any required payment or distribution therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after discovery of the failure by an officer of the Servicer or written notice of such failure is received (i) by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the applicable Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Class A Notes, acting as a single Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates (provided that such event will not be a Servicer Default if (A) such failure or delay is caused by an event of force majeure, (B) does not continue for more than 10 Business Days, (C) during such period the Servicer uses all commercially reasonable efforts to perform its obligations under this Agreement and (D) the Servicer provides to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, Seller and Securityholders prompt notice of such failure or delay that includes a description of the Servicer's efforts to remedy such failure or delay);

    (b) failure by the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer or the Seller (as the case may be) set forth in this Agreement, which failure shall materially and adversely affect the rights of Certificateholders or Noteholders and shall continue unremedied for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure is received (i) by the Servicer (or the Seller, so long as TMCC is the Servicer) from the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or (ii) to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and to the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee by the holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Class A Notes, acting together as a single Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates; or

    (c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Servicer.

    At any time when a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes acting as a single Class, excluding for purposes of such calculation and action all Securities held or beneficially owned by TMCC, TAFR LLC or any of their Affiliates, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee if given by the Noteholders) may terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 7.02 hereof and the rights set forth in Section 7.04 hereof) of the Servicer under this Agreement. By the same required vote, the Noteholders specified in the prior sentence may waive any such Servicer Default (other than a default in the making of any required deposits or payments from or to the Collection Account, Reserve Account or Payahead Account) for a specified period or permanently. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

    SECTION 8.02  Appointment of Successor.

    (a) Upon the Servicer's receipt of notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or the Servicer's resignation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, in the case of termination, only until the date specified in such termination notice or, if no such date is specified in a notice of termination, until receipt of such notice and, in the case of resignation, until the later of (i) the date 45 days from the delivery to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of written notice of such resignation (or written confirmation of such notice) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the date upon which the predecessor Servicer shall become unable to act as Servicer, as specified in the notice of resignation and accompanying Opinion of Counsel. In the event of the Servicer's termination hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and the Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment (including its appointment as Administrator under the Administration Agreement as set forth in Section 8.02(b)) by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed at the time when the predecessor Servicer has ceased to act as Servicer in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee shall, if it shall be unwilling or legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business shall include the servicing of automobile and/or light-duty truck receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Indenture Trustee is authorized and empowered to offer such successor servicer compensation up to, but not in excess of, the Total Servicing Fee and other servicing compensation specified in this Agreement as payable to the initial Servicer. Upon such appointment, the Indenture Trustee will be released from the duties and obligations of acting as Successor Servicer, such release effective upon the effective date of the servicing agreement entered into between the Successor Servicer and the Issuer.

    (b) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer (including the Indenture Trustee acting as successor Servicer) shall (i) be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) become the Administrator under the Administration Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of such Agreement.

    (c) On or after the receipt by the Servicer of written notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.01, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificate or the Receivables or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or such Successor Servicer as may be appointed under this Section 8.02 and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer and the Owner Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the predecessor Servicer, in the Collection Account or Payahead Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and all Payments Ahead that shall at that time be held by the predecessor Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Receivable Files to the Successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such

51


succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. In the event that the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, and a subsequent transfer of such rights and obligations is effected pursuant to Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02 hereof, the original Servicer hereunder shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable costs and expenses as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.

    SECTION 8.03  Repayment of Advances; Compensation Payable.  If the Servicer shall resign or be terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive reimbursement for Outstanding Advances pursuant to Sections 5.03 and 5.04 with respect to all Advances previously made thereby in the manner specified in such Sections, and shall continue to be entitled to all accrued and unpaid compensation payable to the Servicer through the date of such termination as specified in Section 4.09 of this Agreement.

    SECTION 8.04  Notification.  Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders, the Swap Counterparty and the Rating Agencies.


ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

    SECTION 9.01  Optional Purchase of All Receivables.

    (a) On each Payment Date following the last day of a Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than the Optional Purchase Percentage (expressed as a seven-digit decimal figure) multiplied by the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall have the option to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate (whether or not such assets then comprise all or a portion of the Trust Estate) for an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price. To exercise such option, the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, shall notify [the Swap Counterparty,] the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of its intention to do so in writing, no later than the tenth day of the month preceding the month in which the Payment Date as of which such purchase is to be effected and shall, on or before the Payment Date on which such purchase is to occur, deposit pursuant to Section 5.05 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Optional Purchase Price, and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust Estate and the Owner Trust Estate. Amounts so deposited will be paid and distributed as set forth in Section 5.06 of this Agreement. Upon such deposit of the amount necessary to purchase the corpus of the Owner Trust Estate, the Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have released all claims for reimbursement of Outstanding Advances made in respect of the Receivables.

    (b) Notice of any such purchase of the Owner Trust Estate shall be given by the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder [and the Swap Counterparty] as soon as practicable after their receipt of notice thereof from the Servicer.

    (c) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes [and of the Revolving Liquidity Note], the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders under this Agreement other than Section 5.06 and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee provided for in this Agreement.

    (d) Upon the repurchase of any Receivable by the Seller or the Servicer, pursuant to any provision hereof (including Sections 3.02, 4.08 and 9.01(a)), the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Certificateholders, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, without

52


further action, be deemed to transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, all right, title and interest of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer in, to and under such repurchased Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof and the other property conveyed to the Issuer hereunder pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivable, and all security and any documents relating thereto, such assignment being an assignment outright and not for security; and the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereupon own each such Receivable, and all such related security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, [the Swap Counterparty,] [the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note] or the Noteholders with respect thereto. The Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to effect the conveyance of such Receivable pursuant to this Section. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Seller or Servicer may not enforce a repurchased Receivable on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Receivable, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Certificateholders, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders shall, at the written direction and expense of the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, take such reasonable steps as the Seller or Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Receivable, including bringing suit in the name or names of the Issuer, Certificateholders or Noteholders.

    SECTION 9.02  Termination of the Trust Agreement.  The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer, the Seller and the Servicer under this Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Trust Agreement pursuant to Article IX of the Trust Agreement.

53

FORM OF REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE AGREEMENT

TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES 200      -      OWNER TRUST
as Issuer

and

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
as initial Holder

Dated as of      , 200      


    REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of      , 200      (this "Agreement"), by and between TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES 200      -      OWNER TRUST, a Delaware business trust, as issuer (the "Issuer") of the revolving liquidity note (the "Revolving Liquidity Note") issued hereunder, and TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION, a California corporation ("TMCC"), as the initial holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note.

W I T N E S S E T H:

    WHEREAS Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust is issuing the Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust $        % Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1, the Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust $         % Asset Backed Notes Class A-2, the Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust $        % Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3 and the Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust $        % Asset Backed Notes Class A-4 (collectively, the "Notes") pursuant to the Indenture dated as of      , 200      (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee;

    WHEREAS the Issuer desires to enter into a credit and liquidity enhancement arrangement that will provide funding for certain required payments of principal and interest on the Notes in the event that Available Collections and any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account that are available to be paid in respect thereof to Noteholders on any Payment Date are insufficient to fund such payments;

    WHEREAS TMCC is willing to provide such credit and liquidity enhancement on the terms described herein against delivery to it of the Revolving Liquidity Note evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to repay amounts so funded on the terms set forth herein and in the Revolving Liquidity Note;

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


Article I

Definitions

    Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of      , 200      , among the Issuer, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer, and TAFR LLC, as seller (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement").


Article II

Funding by Holder of Revolving Liquidity Note

    Section 2.1.  General Funding Obligation.  Pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the amounts to be distributed in respect of interest on or principal of the Notes pursuant to Sections 5.06(c)(i)(B) and (C) or 5.06(d)(ii) or (iii) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement exceed the amount of Available Collections that will be available to make such payments and will determine whether amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, if any, that are available therefor will be sufficient to fund such payments on the related Payment Date. If, in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer notifies the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer that it has determined that Available Collections and amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account that will be available to make such payments will be insufficient therefor, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will have the right to request the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Holder") to fund such shortfall (such request, or any request for funding described in Section 2.2 hereof, a "Draw"); provided that the

2


Holder will not be obligated to fund any such shortfall to the extent that the aggregate of the amounts funded by it hereunder and not previously repaid equals or exceeds $      (the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note as described herein will not be considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation). The "Undrawn Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $      less an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw Requests (as defined in Section 2.3) that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4 (the parties hereto agreeing that interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note as described herein will not be considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation, and any amount paid in respect of such accrued interest will not be considered to increase the Undrawn Amount).

    Section 2.2.  Additional Funding Obligations.  If at any time prior to the Final Payment Date either (i) the short-term unsecured debt rating of TMCC falls below P-1 by Moody's or A-1+ by S&P (or in either case, such lower ratings as may be permitted by Moody's and S&P), or (ii) the Holder fails to fund the amount specified in any Draw Request prepared and submitted to the Holder in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Agreement, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer will have the right to request that the entire Undrawn Amount of the Revolving Liquidity Note be funded. To the extent the entire Undrawn Amount is fully funded pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Undrawn Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws.

    Section 2.3.  Draw Mechanics.  Not fewer than two Business Days prior to the relevant Payment Date, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.1, and on any Business Day, in the case of a Draw described in Section 2.2, the Issuer, by action of the Indenture Trustee or of the Administrator on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (following the assignment of this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the Indenture terminates in accordance with its provisions), may deliver a written request (each such request, a "Draw Request") for funds in the amount of the shortfall described in Section 2.1 or the entire Undrawn Amount in the case of a Draw pursuant to Section 2.2. Any such Draw Request may be delivered by facsimile transmission and hard copy to: Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, (310) 468-5715, Attn: Vice President, Treasury, Re: Toyota Auto Receivables 200      -      Owner Trust Revolving Liquidity Note Draw Request. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following delivery of any Draw Request, the Holder will fund the indicated draw by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following account:

The parties hereto (and the assignees and third-party beneficiaries hereof, by accepting the assignment of this Agreement as contemplated in Section 2.5 hereof) agree that Draws will be repaid in part or in whole on any each succeeding Payment Date on which amounts are available therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) or 5.06(d)(iv) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and interest accrued on the daily outstanding amount of funded Draws will be payable on and after the Payment Date on which all funded Draws are repaid and on which amounts are available therefore in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(F) or 5.06(d)(v) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Payments to the Holder in respect of funded Draws or accrued interest will be made either by (i) netting by TMCC of amounts that would be repayable on any Payment Date to the extent amounts would be available therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(c)(i)(E) and (F) or 5.06(d)(iv) and (v) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement against amounts it is otherwise required to deposit into the Collection Account in its capacity as Servicer in accordance with Section 5.04(f) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the following account:

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no further payment owing from the Trust.

    Section 2.5.  Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the right to receive amounts funded by the Holder under the Revolving Liquidity Note and all other rights of the Issuer under this Agreement will be assigned by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders, and that the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and such Noteholders, are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement from and after such assignment and until the Indenture is terminated in accordance with its terms. In addition, the Holder expressly acknowledges that, pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will exercise its right to request funds hereunder in every circumstance when such request may be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Revolving Liquidity Note, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or the Revolving Liquidity Note, or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained herein or therein.

Exhibit A–2



TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES OWNER TRUST 200      -     

REVOLVING LIQUIDITY NOTE

Representing a
Maximum Amount of Funded Draws
outstanding at any time not to exceed
$         

    This certifies that [TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION] (the "Holder") is the registered owner of this Revolving Liquidity Note representing the right to receive the payment of certain Draws funded as described in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement (the "Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement") dated as of      , 200      , between Toyota Auto Receivables Owner Trust 200      -      , as issuer (the "Issuer") and [Toyota Motor Credit Corporation] as initial holder hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of      , 200      , among the Issuer, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), as servicer, and TAFR LLC, as seller (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement").

    This Revolving Liquidity Note represents a 100% undivided interest in the right of the Holder to receive repayment in full of the aggregate amount of funded Draws and interest accrued thereon as and to the extent such amounts are payable in accordance with the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement. All of the provisions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement are incorporated by reference and comprise integral parts of this Revolving Liquidity Note. The following summary of certain provisions thereof is not and does not purport to be complete. By its acceptance hereof, the holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note (the "Holder") assents to and is bound by the terms, provisions and conditions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, including the provisions thereof (i) setting forth the obligation of the Holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note to fund Draws as and when properly requested pursuant to Article II thereof, (ii) specifying that this Revolving Liquidity Note is secured only by certain assets of the Issuer and is payable only from certain collections in respect thereof that are available for such purpose in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (iii) specifying that all payments in respect of funded Draws and interest accrued thereon shall be fully subordinated to required payments to the holders of certain other securities issued by the Issuer and to required deposits into a specified reserve account established for the benefit of the holders of such other securities in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

    The "Undrawn Amount" of the Revolving Liquidity Note is an amount equal to $      less an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts funded pursuant to any previous Draw Requests that have not yet been repaid pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, and increased by amounts repaid to the Holder pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement up to a maximum of $            (interest accrued on the Revolving Liquidity Note not being considered an amount funded by the Holder for purposes of such calculation, and any amount paid in respect of such accrued interest will not be considered to increase the Undrawn Amount). To the extent the entire Undrawn Amount is fully funded pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, the Undrawn Amount shall be reduced to zero and shall no longer be subject to draws. Interest will accrue on the average daily outstanding excess of $            over the Undrawn Amount from and including the date of any Draw to but excluding the date on which the Undrawn Amount is reduced to zero at  % per annum, calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

    Subject to the more detailed provisions concerning payments to be made to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note set forth in the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement and the Sale and

Exhibit A–3


Servicing Agreement, generally, repayment of Draws previously funded by the (or a) Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, and interest accrued thereon as described below, will be made on the 15th day of each calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day, to the extent funds are available therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following liquidation of the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture the Trust has insufficient funds to make required payments to the Holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note pursuant to Article V of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, then all amounts due under the Revolving Liquidity Note will be deemed to have been paid in full and this Agreement shall terminate with no further payment owing from the Trust.

    Prior to the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended by the Issuer and the Holder, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that (i) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholders, and (ii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such amendment and (y) has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of such amendment and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such amendment might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. After the termination of the Indenture, this Agreement may be amended in writing by the Issuer and the Holder without notice to or consent of any other Person.

    Prior to the termination of the Indenture, the Holder may not transfer, assign or convey this Revolving Liquidity Note or the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement unless: (i) the purported transferee, assignee or recipient of such conveyance has executed a written agreement to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement; (ii) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Certificateholders; and (iii) the Indenture Trustee (x) has received a letter from Standard & Poor's to the effect that Standard & Poor's will not qualify, reduce or withdraw the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes as a result of such transfer, assignment or conveyance and (y) has provided Moody's with 10 days prior written notice of such intended transfer, assignment or conveyance and Moody's shall not have notified the Indenture Trustee that such transfer, assignment or conveyance might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the rating it has currently assigned to any Class of Notes. The Revolving Liquidity Note may not be transferred, assigned or conveyed in part; any transfer, conveyance or assignment must be in respect of 100% of this Revolving Liquidity Note. The Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) will maintain a register in which it will record the name and contact information for each Holder. No transfer, assignment or conveyance of this Revolving Liquidity Note will be effective prior to notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and recordation by the Issuer (or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) thereof in such register.

    No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Holder of this Revolving Liquidity Note under the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any Certificateholder or other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the

Exhibit A–4


Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, in their capacities as such, have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

    By its acceptance of this Revolving Liquidity Note, the Holder agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement with respect to the Issuer or Seller, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or Seller under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or Seller or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or Seller.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as special counsel to Toyota Auto Finance Receivables ("TAFR LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned limited purpose subsidiary of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), a California corporation, and certain trusts, all of the beneficial ownership of which will initially be owned by TAFR LLC (together with TAFR LLC, each an "Issuer"), in connection with the proposed issuance of $3,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of asset-backed notes (the "Notes") to be offered pursuant to the above-referenced registration statements on Form S-3 (such registration statements as amended, the "Registration Statements") relating to the Notes. The Registration Statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Notes will be issued under and pursuant to the indenture for each series, each between the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (as defined therein). The indenture, in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2001, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement for Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01, is herein referred to as the "Indenture."

    We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the organizational documents of the Issuers, the form of Indenture included as an exhibit to the Registration Statements, the form of Notes included in the Registration Statements, and such other records, documents and certificates of the Issuers and public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. In addition, we have assumed that the Indenture as completed for each series will be duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto; that the Notes as completed for each series will be duly executed and delivered substantially in the forms contemplated by the Indenture; and the Notes for each series will be sold as described in the Registration Statements.

    Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

    The Notes are in due and proper form and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture, as applicable by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Indenture Trustee, and the


due authorization of the Notes for each series by all necessary action on the part of the applicable Issuer, when the Notes for each series have been validly executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the applicable Indenture and delivered against payment therefor, the Notes for each series will be valid and binding obligations of the applicable Issuer, enforceable against the applicable Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunction relief, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

    The opinions expressed above are limited to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York (excluding choice of law principles therein). We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.

    We consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statements and to the reference to this firm under the heading "Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplements that form a part thereof, without admitting that we are "experts" within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statements, including this exhibit.

The Registration Statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Certificates will be issued under and pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement or sale and servicing agreement for each series, each between the applicable Issuer, the administrator (as defined therein, the "Administrator") and the trustee (as defined therein, the "Trustee"). The pooling and servicing agreement in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2001, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement for Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01, is herein referred to as the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement."

    Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

    The Certificates are in due and proper form and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable by the applicable Issuer, Administrator and the Trustee, and the due authorization of the Certificates for each series by all necessary action on the part of the applicable Issuer, when the Certificates for each series have been validly executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable and delivered against payment therefor, the Certificates for each series will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and general principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunction relief, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Nos. 333-58164, 333-58164-01 and 333-58164-02

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as special counsel to Toyota Auto Finance Receivables LLC ("TAFR LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned limited purpose subsidiary of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"), a California corporation, and certain trusts (the "Trusts"), all of the beneficial ownership of which will initially be owned by TAFR LLC (together with TAFR LLC, each an "Issuer"), in connection with the proposed issuance of $3,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of asset-backed notes (the "Notes") and/or asset-backed certificates (the "Certificates") to be offered pursuant to the above-referenced registration statements on Form S-3 (such registration statements as amended, the "Registration Statements") relating to the Notes and Certificates. The Registration Statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Notes will be issued under and pursuant to the indenture for each series, each between the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (as defined therein). The indenture in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2001, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement for Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01, is herein referred to as the "Indenture." The Certificates will be issued under and pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement or sale and servicing agreement for each series, each between the applicable Issuer, the administrator (as defined therein, the "Administrator") and the trustee (as defined therein, the "Trustee"). The pooling and servicing agreement in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2001, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement for Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01, is herein referred to as the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement." The sale and servicing agreement in the form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2001, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement for Registration Nos. 333-74872 and 333-74872-01, is herein referred to as the "Sale and Servicing Agreement."

    In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the organizational documents of the Issuers, the form of Indenture included as an exhibit to the Registration Statements, the forms of Notes included as exhibits to such form of Indenture, the form of Pooling and Servicing Agreement included as an exhibit to the


Registration Statements, the form of Sale and Servicing Agreement included as an exhibit to the Registration Statements, the forms of Certificates included as exhibits to such form of Pooling and Servicing Agreement and form of Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such other records, documents and certificates of the Issuers and public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. In addition, we have assumed that each Indenture, Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, as completed for each series will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the respective parties thereto; that the Notes and Certificates as completed for each series, as applicable, will be duly authorized, executed and delivered substantially in the forms contemplated by the Indenture or Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable; and the Notes and Certificates for each series will be sold as described in the Registration Statements.

    In rendering this opinion letter, we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") nor do we express any opinion, either implicitly or otherwise, on any issue not expressly addressed below. In rendering this opinion letter, we have not passed upon and do not pass upon the application of "doing business" or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

    As special tax counsel to TAFR LLC and the Trusts, we have advised TAFR LLC and the Trusts with respect to certain federal income tax aspects of the proposed issuance of the Notes and the Certificates after the date hereof as described in the Registration Statement. Such advice has formed the basis for the description of selected federal income tax consequences for holders of the Notes and Certificates that appears under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus. Such description does not purport to discuss all possible federal income tax ramifications of the proposed issuance of the Notes and Certificates, but with respect to those federal income tax consequences which are discussed, in our opinion, the description is accurate.

    This opinion set forth above is based on relevant provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations thereunder, and interpretations of the foregoing as expressed in court decisions, administrative determinations, and legislative history as of the date hereof. These provisions and interpretations are subject to change, which may or may not be retroactive in effect, that might result in modifications of our opinion.

    We consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statements and to the reference to this firm under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the Prospectus, without admitting that we are "experts" within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, with respect to any part of the Registration Statements, including this exhibit.

    Respectfully submitted,

 

 

/s/ O'Melveny & Myers LLP
