(b) In consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration to be delivered to the Seller hereunder, on behalf of the Issuer, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Issuer, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder, without recourse (subject to the Seller's obligations herein): (i) all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables and all monies due thereon or paid thereunder or in respect thereof (including proceeds of the repurchase of Receivables by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 or the purchase of Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 or 9.01) on or after the Cutoff Date; (ii) the interest of the Seller in the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by the Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any accessions thereto; (iii) the interest of the Seller in any proceeds of any physical damage insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles and in any proceeds of any credit life or credit disability insurance policies relating to the Receivables or the Obligors; (iv) the interest of the Seller in any Dealer Recourse; (v) the right of the Seller to realize upon any property (including the right to receive future Liquidation Proceeds) that shall have secured a Receivable and have been repossessed pursuant to the terms thereof; 23 (vi) the rights and interests of the Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; (vii) all other assets comprising the Owner Trust Estate (other than the Revolving Liquidity Note and Revolving Liquidity Note Agreement, which are assets of the Owner Trust Estate but are not sold by the Seller); (viii)all proceeds of the foregoing; and (ix) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action in respect of any or all of the foregoing and all payments on or under of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion thereof, voluntary or involuntary, into cash or other liquid property, all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any and every kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property which at any time constitute all or part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral"). (c) It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The Seller agrees to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement and to perfect such sale under the UCC. (d) Although the parties hereto intend that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement be a sale, in the event such transfer and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Receivables, and other property conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC. (e) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Servicer's master computer records (including any back-up archives) that refer to any Receivable indicate clearly the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that the Receivable is owned and controlled by the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer's ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer's computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to this Agreement. (f) Ownership and control of the Receivables, as between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders and Certificateholder) shall be governed by the Indenture. 24 SECTION 2.02 Custody of Receivables Files. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer as custodian of the following documents or instruments (the parties hereto expressly acknowledging and agreeing that the Servicer may appoint a third party to act as the agent of the Servicer to maintain possession of such documents, electronic files or instruments as contemplated by Sections 3.01(v) and 3.03(b) of this Agreement) which are hereby constructively delivered to the Issuer with respect to each Receivable: (a) the fully executed original of the Receivable; (b) documents evidencing or related to any Insurance Policy; (c) the original (in paper or electronic form) of the credit application of each Obligor, fully executed by such Obligor on TMCC's customary form, or on a form approved by TMCC, for such application; (d) the original certificate of title (or evidence that such certificate of title has been applied for) or such documents that the Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with TMCC's customary procedures, evidencing the security interest in the related Financed Vehicle; and (e) any and all other documents that the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such Receivable or the related Obligor or Financed Vehicle. SECTION 2.03 Acceptance by Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges its acceptance, on behalf of the Issuer, pursuant to this Agreement, of all right, title and interest in and to the Receivables conveyed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement and declares and shall declare from and after the date hereof that the Owner Trustee holds and shall hold such right, title and interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. ARTICLE III THE RECEIVABLES SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller with Respect to the Receivables. The Seller makes the following representations and warranties as to the Receivables on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables.

(m) No Liens. To the knowledge of the Seller, no liens or claims shall have been filed as of the date of this Agreement, including liens for work, labor or materials relating to a Financed Vehicle, that shall be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the security interest in such Financed Vehicle granted by the related Receivable, which Liens shall not have been released or satisfied as of the Closing Date. (n) No Default; No Repossession.

(o) Insurance. The terms of each Receivable require the Obligor to obtain and maintain physical damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle in accordance with TMCC's normal 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. (p) Good Title. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, taken as a whole, constitute a sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and that the beneficial interest in and title to the Receivables not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No Receivable has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer, and no provision of a Receivable shall have been waived, except for a waiver that would not violate clause (j) above; immediately prior to the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; immediately upon the transfer and assignment thereof, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of all Liens and rights of others; and the transfer and assignment herein contemplated has been perfected under the UCC. (q) Lawful Assignment.

(r) All Filings Made. As of the Closing Date, all filings (including UCC filings) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the transfer and assignment herein contemplated, to perfect the sale of the Receivables from the Seller to the Issuer and to give the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in the Receivables shall have been made. (s) One Original. There shall be only one original executed copy of each Receivable. (t) Chattel Paper. Each Receivable constitutes "tangible chattel paper" or "electronic chattel paper" each as defined in the UCC. (u) Additional Representations and Warranties.

(v) Location of Receivable Files. Each Receivable File shall be kept at one of the locations listed in the Schedule of Receivables or at such other office as shall be specified to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 3.03(b). SECTION 3.02 Remedies. The Seller, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of the Seller's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.01 or 6.01 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer in any Receivable. As of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which it discovers or receives notice of such breach (or, at the Seller'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 Seller shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase such Receivable and, if necessary, the Seller shall enforce the obligation of TMCC under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Receivable from the Seller. 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. In consideration of the repurchase of any such Receivable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date, the Seller shall remit the Warranty Purchase Payment of such Receivable to the Collection Account in the manner specified in Section 5.05 and shall be entitled to receive the Released Warranty Amount. Except as described below, the sole remedy of the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (by operation of the assignment of the Owner Trustee's rights hereunder pursuant to the Indenture) or any Securityholder with respect to a breach of the Seller's representations and warranties pursuant to this Agreement shall be to require the Seller to repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to this Section and to enforce TMCC's obligation to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. 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 as set forth in Section 9.01(d). The Seller hereby indemnifies the Issuer for any civil liabilities that arise under Texas Finance Code (Section)349.003 as a result of the use of the Law 9/99R and Lexus 10/99 forms of contract to originate the Receivables in Texas, and for any civil liabilities relating to a determination that the disclosures in the forms of contracts used to originate Receivables in Massachusetts violate Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 255B, Section 14, or Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 140D and the regulations promulgated by the Division of Banks thereunder with respect to Truth-in-Lending appearing at 209 CMR 32.00. 29 SECTION 3.03 Duties of Servicer as Custodian. (a) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold, at one of the locations listed in the Schedule of Receivables or at such other office as shall be specified to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as provided in section 3.03(b), the Receivable Files as custodian for the benefit of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Issuer to comply with this Agreement. The Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall hold the Receivable Files in such a manner as to prevent any other Person from obtaining control of any electronic chattel paper (as defined in the UCC) included therein, within the meaning of section 9-105 of the UCC. In performing its duties as custodian the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to the receivable files relating to comparable automotive receivables that the Servicer services for itself or others. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of the Receivable Files. (b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain each Receivable File at one of its offices specified in Schedule B or at such other office of the Servicer or a third party agent retained by the Servicer as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice not later than 90 days after any change in location. The Servicer shall make available to the Issuer, the Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall instruct with reasonable advance notice. (c) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall release any Receivable File to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee's agent or the Indenture Trustee's designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable. SECTION 3.04 Instructions; Authority To Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Trust Officer of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. A certified copy of a bylaw or of a resolution of the board of directors of the Owner Trustee or of the Indenture Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of such Trust Officer to act, and shall be considered conclusive evidence of the authority of such Trust Officer to act until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be. SECTION 3.05 Custodian's Indemnification. The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred 30 by or asserted against any of them as the result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer as custodian of the Receivable Files; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable to the Owner Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Owner Trustee or Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall not be liable to the Indenture Trustee for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee. SECTION 3.06 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer's appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the date hereof, and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section. If TMCC shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of any Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 8.01, the appointment of TMCC (as Servicer) as custodian shall be terminated hereunder without further action by the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Noteholders or the Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee or, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee may terminate the Servicer's appointment as custodian, with cause, at any time upon written notification to the Servicer, and without cause upon 30 days' prior written notification to the Servicer. The Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or Noteholders may terminate the Servicer as custodian hereunder in the same manner as the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or Noteholders may terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer under Section 8.01. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment, the Servicer shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Relevant Trustee or the agent thereof at such place or places as the Relevant Trustee may reasonably designate. 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 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 31 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 Certificateholder 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 32 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 33 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 Certificate, and on which the Indenture Trustee will rely in undertaking the trusts set forth in the Indenture and acting for the Noteholders. (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 Class A-4 Final Scheduled Payment 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 relating to Texas Finance Code (Section)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 34 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). 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 activities under this Agreement (including fees and disbursements of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture 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, expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with a sale or liquidation of the Trust Estate under Section 5.04(c) of the Indenture and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement to be for the account of the Certificateholder). 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, 2003), the Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Owner Trustee, the Swap 35 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2003), 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. 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 36 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 Certificateholder 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 Servicer has appointed such a subservicer to perform its title administration services. 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 Certificateholder 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. 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. ARTICLE V Accounts; PAYMENTS AND Distributions; 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 37 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 The Bank of New York or U.S. Bank Trust National Association is the Relevant Trustee, the Collection Account and Payahead Account shall be maintained with The Bank of New York 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 38 Note and Certificateholder. The Indenture Trustee will be obligated to transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Collection Account on the Payment Date 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. 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 39 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. (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. 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. 40 (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. 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. 41 (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. (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)(v) or (vi) 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. SECTION 5.05 Additional Deposits. (a) The following additional deposits shall be made to the Collection Account: (i) the Seller shall remit the aggregate Warranty Purchase Payments with respect to Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 3.02, (ii) the Servicer shall 42 remit the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments with respect to Administrative Receivables pursuant to Section 4.08 and the amount required upon any optional purchase of the Receivables by the Servicer, or any successor to the Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.01; (iii) the Servicer shall remit (A) the amount required to be remitted in respect of certain full Prepayments pursuant to Section 4.03, (B) the aggregate Advances pursuant to Sections 4.02, 5.03 and 5.04(a), (C) the amount of Payments Ahead and Applied Payments Ahead withdrawn by the Servicer or Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Servicer from the Payahead Account for application with respect to such Collection Period, and (D) all Swap Payments Incoming and Swap Termination Payments received from the Swap Counterparty; and (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall deposit the amounts described in Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08 drawn on the Revolving Liquidity Note or withdrawn from the Reserve Account into the Collection Account, pursuant to Sections 5.06, 5.07 and 5.08. (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, 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 43 drawn under the Revolving Liquidity Note or paid to the holder thereof (including in respect of interest accrued thereon) or withdrawn from or required to be deposited into 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: (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 Class A-1 Notes until the principal amount thereof is reduced to zero, an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount; and after the principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes is reduced to zero, to the Class A-2 Notes until the principal amount of the Class A-2 Notes is reduced to zero, then to the Class A-3 Notes until the principal amount of the Class A-3 Notes is reduced to zero, and then to the Class A-4 Notes until the principal amount of the Class A-4 Notes is reduced to zero, either (x) an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Class A Notes to an amount equal to the product of the Noteholders' Percentage and the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period or (y) if either the Specified Delinquency Percentage or Specified Charge-off Rate Percentage exceeds 2.25% as of such Payment Date, all remaining amounts up to the Principal Distribution Amount; (iv) 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; (v) 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)); 44 (vi) 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)); (vii) to the Certificateholder, except on any Payment Date that occurs after the Class A Notes are accelerated unless or until such acceleration has been rescinded or during a period in which either the Specified Delinquency Percentage or the Specified Charge-off Rate Percentage exceeds 2.25%, an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Certificate to an amount equal to the product of the Subordinated Seller's Interest Percentage and the Pool Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period; and (viii) any remaining amounts will be distributed to the Certificateholder by the Indenture Trustee. (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)); 45 (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 will be distributed to the Certificateholder by the Indenture Trustee. (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)(iii) 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 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)(iv) and this Section. Under the circumstances specified in 46 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)(iv), 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) through (iii) 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 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. 47 (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 $9,420,193, 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)(ii) or (iii) 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 or prior to 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 on such Payment Date 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 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 48 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 in respect of principal on or with respect to the Subordinated Seller's Interest; (iv) any excess amounts paid or distributed to the Certificateholder; (v) the Pool Balance as of the close of business on the last day of the preceding Collection Period; (vi) 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; (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 Balance 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 Payment Incoming, the Swap Payment Outgoing and the Swap Termination Payment. 49 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 Certificateholder for all of the above described remittances, payments and distributions as if all deposits, payments, distributions and transfers were made individually.

(b) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with the 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 Certificateholder 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. 55 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 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 Certificateholder, 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 56 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 Certificateholder 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 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 57 (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 Certificateholder 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 58 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 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 59 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 60 Certificateholder 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 Certificateholder, and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, shall, without 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 Certificateholder, 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 Certificateholder, 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, Certificateholder or Noteholders.

This Agreement may also be 61 amended by the Seller, the Servicer and the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee and the holder of the Revolving Liquidity Note, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder for the purpose of changing the formula for determining the Specified Reserve Account Balance, the manner in which the Reserve Account is funded (i.e. to allow the deposit of cash therein by any Person, but not to change any order of priority of payments and distributions specified in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement), 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 hereof or changing the definition of Eligible Investment, in each case only if the Indenture Trustee and/or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, (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 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; 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 Holders of any Class of Notes or of the Certificate without the consent of all Holders of each affected Class or the Certificateholder, if affected.
